Billionaires with Benefits

Chapter 93: The Youngsters

If only Yamaguchi's body wasn't too old, he would have taken care of William himself. However, his chronic illness did not allow him to do strenuous physical activities. Just one minute of fighting and the next minute he'd be a corpse. That's what the doctor explained to him. After all, his old body couldn't possibly compare to the strength of young people like William and Ryuu. It's not the time for him to fight anymore.

However, the last person he depended on could no longer be relied upon. His grandson even rambled about a strange story that he did not know before.

"Don't you dare to betray me, Ryuu! Do what you should do!" Robert yelled out of anger. "You are the successor of the Yamaguchi family. Don't embarrass me, Ryuu!"

However, Ryuu was unmoved. He still didn't do anything his grandfather told him to do. "Grandpa, I'm sorry. If William hadn't helped me when I was beaten up by some street punks, I would have only been left with a name now. You wouldn't be able to see me anymore. That's if you even want to see me."

Yamaguchi shook his head in disbelief. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, William helped me when I was about to die. There's no way I can beat him right now. I owe him my life. Do you want me to be an ungrateful person?"

"Nonsense! You must be making up stories," Yamaguchi argued, not wanting to believe his grandson's words.

"It's up to you to believe me or not. I don't care."

Ryuu didn't want to continue arguing with his grandfather any longer. He then stood up and approached William to help him get up. Ryuu bowed and greeted William.

.....

"You may not remember me, however, I will always remember your kindness to me," Ryuu said with a sincere smile to William.

William, who was astonished, stared at Ryuu, trying to remember what kind of event had brought him together with an Asian who was as big as Ryuu. Then, glimpses of the past flashed in his mind.

At that time, he was still very young. He was a middle schooler. William saw an Asian boy his age surrounded by three grown men, members of a motorcycle club who were notorious for anyone who did wrong to them.

Coincidentally, William and Samuel happened to see the poor kid. That Asian boy was defending his mother who was being harassed by men. It was then, William asked Samuel to help the boy. They asked Ryuu to call the police immediately. While William and Samuel dealt with the three ferocious men armed with wooden sticks.

Of course, William and Samuel were in a lot of trouble. However, they were both lucky that the police arrived just in time. All were immediately rushed to the hospital. It's just that the Montgomery family wanted their children to be cared for in a better hospital. Ryuu didn't have time to thank William and Samuel. He only knew their name after doing some research.

The heroic action left a deep mark on Ryuu's mind. He not only owed William and Samuel his life but also owed his mother's pride. He couldn't stand it if his mother was raped by criminals.

The incident was published in the media. How heroic the children of the Montgomery family were and also about the victims of the crime who were Japanese. It was then that the Yamaguchi family discovered the whereabouts of Ryuu, the secret heir to the Yamaguchi family.

Indeed, Ryuu's mother divorced his father while she was pregnant. She fled to America and raised Ryuu by herself in New York. She didn't ask for alimony because she didn't want to have anything to do with the Yamaguchi family anymore. The pain of being betrayed by her ex-husband made her choose to live in poverty in New York rather than feel indebted to the Yamaguchi family.
