The World Traveler

Chapter 002

"Now then, let's make that bitch ass ex-wife pay, but how," sabi ko at naupo sa may salas.

<<We now have two options,>> sabi ni Al <<we either fake our death so we can hide from the eyes of the public and harass them, make them despair as we sit and watch from the shadows, or we can just take away their luck then move to a new world,>> sabi ni Al sakin.

"That guy who stole our wife is from the Belarmino family right? A rich family that owns many businesses in the world, 100th in the world's richest list," sabi ko.

<<Yep,>> sabi ni Al making me tap the table as I sat on the sofa.

"Let's go get an dying idiot," sabi ko "once he is dead, we will then use shapeshift on his body make it look like us, then destroy this house on fire, we take the luck of the bastards in that family and slowly watch them despair as they slowly go down from being the 100th richest to the dirt poorest," sabi ko sabay ngiti.

"But where can we find that dying idiot," tanong ko sa sarili.

<<Let me use the satellite of this world to scan the earth surface,>> sabi ni Al <<found one, a person that is going to commit suicide.>>

"Really? Then let's go to him," sabi ko and a portal appeared in front of me so I entered the portal gate and found myself on a rooftop with a man, about my age, smoking a cig, with one foot on the railings as if he was about to go over, staring at me dumbfounded.

"If you are going to kill yourself, then you might as well, listen to what I want to say," sabi ko "I am here to make a deal with you."

'Where are we, Al?' tanong ko.

<<Tokyo, Japan,>> sagot ni Al.

"Let's go sit down, aye," sabi ko and waved my hand and he suddenly found himself sitting down on the stone bench on the roof.

"Here, have some beer," sabi ko and gave him a can of beer as I took a stick from his packet of cigarette, lighting it with magic.

"Do you have a family?" tanong ko sa kanya as I blow the smoke out.

"... Yes," sagot niya "a daughter of about five years old."

"... You have a daughter and you are going to jump off the roof?" tanong ko, na-curious bigla "why?"

"My ex-wife, took a loan from loan sharks under my name without my knowledge, so now we are divorced after she committed adultery, the debts came under my name," sagot niya as he downed the beer I gave to him.

"What is her name?" tanong ko.

"Hikari," sagot niya.

"Have you ever thought of what is going to her when you died?" tanong ko.

"My ex-wife will take care of her," sagot niya.

"I don't think so," sabi ko "your ex-wife committed adultery, do you think she will take care a child that she herself left behind?" tanong ko "she won't, what your ex-wife will most likely do is to give the little girl to the loan sharks, then she will be sold off to an underground brothel, or she will be sold off to pedophiles, or she will have her organs cut out."

At nang sabihin ko iyon, he looked at me with a despairing face, shivering.

"Here is my deal, since you are going to commit suicide anyway, you will die for me, in return, I will take care of your child," sabi ko "financially that is."

"... No, I changed my mind, you are right, that is what is about to happen to her, I can't let her experience such things," sabi niya.

"But what are you going to do with your debts?" tanong ko "then do it like this, contact that ex-wife of yours, then I will give you the money to pay off that debt, as for what happens to your wife, no one will speak about it, or you will die, you saw what I can do, this world isn't as peaceful as you think."
