Chapter 151 Prepare To Witness Greatness!
Hugo dragged his feet back to his dorm room, his face locked in a grim frown like someone who'd just watched their entire life savings get flushed down the toilet.
He wasn't even thinking about where he was going; his mind was completely consumed by the horrifying numbers rattling around in his head.
"$50,000," he thought bitterly. "Fifty thousand dollars. How do you even mess up this bad in one week?!" He groaned, running a hand through his hair.
"No, wait—it's not even a full week! Just a few days ago, I was normal. And now? I'm a guy with a barely-fixed Benz, a bank account that looks like a joke, and enemies who might still be plotting to run me over. Fantastic, Hugo. Just fantastic."
He shoved his hands into his pockets and glared at the sidewalk like it had personally offended him.
"Okay, so let's do the math again," he thought, trying to calm himself down. "I started with fifty grand. Then I bought the Benz for twenty-eight thousand. Okay, that's fine. It's a Benz—it's supposed to be expensive, right? But then, boom, gangs, a chase, and now repairs. Repairs! For three thousand five hundred dollars!"
Hugo groaned out loud, startling a group of students walking past him. He ignored their weird looks. "What does that leave me with? Eighteen and a half grand? That's it? That's all I have left to my name?!"
He clenched his fists as a fresh wave of anger hit him. "That stupid gang! Those idiots cost me my money and my peace of mind. I hope they all trip on banana peels and fall into potholes!"
But then his thoughts took a darker turn. He slowed down, glancing over his shoulder as if someone might be following him. 'Wait a second,' he thought, his brow furrowing.
'What if this isn't over? They found me once—they can probably find me again. What if they're watching me right now? What if they're waiting for me to let my guard down?'
Paranoia started creeping in, and his mind jumped to ridiculous solutions. 'Maybe I should just pack up and move to another continent. Or better yet, Africa! Nigeria could work.'
'Nobody would expect me to hide out in Lagos. I could eat jollof rice, hang out at the beach, maybe even learn how to bargain at those crazy markets...'
His face twisted as he realized something. 'Wait, I don't even know how to bargain. I'd probably end up paying triple for something like a basket of oranges and embarrassing myself.'
He shook his head, trying to push the thoughts away. "No, running isn't the answer. I've got to stay here and figure this out. I'm not some wimp who runs away from problems... am I?" He sighed again, feeling like the universe was playing some cruel joke on him.
By the time he reached the dorm, his face looked even grimmer than before. He opened the door, fully expecting to collapse onto his bed and sulk for the rest of the evening.
"Oh, man, you're not ready for this. Remember last week when I told you I went to meet my mom's new boyfriend?"
Hugo frowned, trying to recall. "Yeah... you said he had creepy eyes or something, and you didn't like him."
"Exactly!" Collins said, jumping up from his chair. "But get this—he found out my birthday is next week, and he decided to give me a gift in advance!"
Hugo raised an eyebrow. "A gift? What kind of gift?"
Collins' grin turned mischievous, and he gestured toward the door. "Oh, you'll see. Come on, follow me."
Hugo groaned but got up, following his roommate out of the room. As they walked, his curiosity started to grow.
'What kind of gift could have Collins acting this smug? A new pair of sneakers? A gift card? No, knowing him, it's probably something ridiculous like a karaoke machine.'
But as they stepped into the hallway, Collins turned to Hugo, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Prepare to be amazed, my friend. You're about to witness greatness."
Hugo rolled his eyes, muttering under his breath. "This better not be another one of his dumb pranks."
