Chapter 740
To help him fit in, Eason's parents even sent him to an all-boys school for special training. They wanted to boost his masculinity.
There, he was bullied, cursed, and even violated. He begged for mercy, tried to escape, and even had his leg broken, but none of it garnered sympathy from his parents.
Eason thought that as long as he studied hard and got good grades, his parents would be proud of him and bring him back home. As expected, his parents showed up on the day he fought hard to earn the top spot in his school.
They showered him with praise and expressed their love for him. They then brought him home and paraded him to all his relatives as if they were showing off a trophy.
Eason tasted success at that moment. He realized the only way to live in dignity was to strive for the top. As such, he worked hard and got into the youth advanced class.
He believed that with enough hard work and a bit of talent, he would definitely be the best in the advanced class. He was determined to maintain his top position so that he could live with dignity in front of his parents. But alas, Eason met two lunatics-Steven and Simeon. No matter how hard he tried, he could never reach their level.
At that moment, it dawned on him that each genius was different. Humans were inherently divided into different classes, and talent was no exception.
Eason gave his all to defeat everyone in the school and entered the advanced class with top scores.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Every night, he had to study in secret until late, yet he still couldn't hold a candle to Simeon, who would fall asleep as soon as he got back to the dorm. Despite all his hard work and effort, he was still left in the dust, feeling as if he could never catch up.
Eason felt jealous, yet he couldn't compete against Simeon. He once destroyed Simeon's only new pair of shoes out of spite.
Being privileged, he, too, had mocked Simeon for being an orphan. Yet deep down, he knew that despite having parents, he was envious of Simeon for being an orphan.
Simeon also hated Eason in the beginning. He thought that Eason was a spoiled scion who couldn't handle losing. However, he was also attracted to him.
He watched as Eason hid under the blankets to study every night. He was even studying while eating during the day, giving his all.
During the first placement exam in the advanced class, Eason, who had been studying day and night throughout the semester, cried. He sobbed uncontrollably under the blankets and refused to come out no matter what.
That was because he only ranked third while Steven and Simeon ranked first and second.
That time, Steven ranked first and Simeon ranked second because Simeon had intentionally held back-he wanted to let Eason surpass him. But even so, Eason was still left in the dust.
Simeon found him interesting. He couldn't coax Eason out for the longest time and even got bitten by him. He told Steven that he found an interesting person who resembled a stray cat he had when he was younger. Steven only found Simeon childish instead.
Eason was constantly bullied in school due to his personality. As the others dared not bother Steven and Simeon, they turned their sights to Eason, who was the weakest. Back then, Eason was still called Hudson. Although everyone in the orphanage was only in their teens, they were cruel beyond imagination.
When they found out that Hudson often wore dresses in secret, they forced him to put one on in the shared bathroom while they humiliated and violated him.
On the same day, Steven did not see Simeon anywhere during lunchtime.
After some time, he only spotted Simeon with a bruised lip and blackened eye, his body covered in blood. He was leading a small, drenched figure in his oversized jacket as they left the school.
If it weren't for Hudson stopping him that night, Simeon would have beaten the ring leader to death.
He had challenged the group of five all by himself and lashed around wildly as if he were mad. Everyone feared him.
Hudson was the only one who saw Simeon, who had come to his sudden rescue, as his guardian angel.
