Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 973

"Ben, the president wants you to look after us, doesn't she? Now we have no money for food, so can you tell the president to give us our wages upfront?" The fishermen pleaded with Jay.

Jay had a fierce look on his face. The fishermen were blatantly asking him to reason with the she-devil, but he did not want anything to do with her at all.

"I have some cash on me. I'll lend it to all of you first."

Stan Hitchens said wickedly, "Ben, where is all this money coming from?" His tone was full of suspicion.

Jay glowered at him with an ice-cold expression in his eyes, making Stan cower a little. He always thought that hopeless piece of trash had a horrifying stare.

Tommy quickly diffused the situation and said, "Come on, Hitchens. If Ben is willing to lend us some money, he'll be helping us. We should be thanking him. Why should we care where his money comes from?' "That's right," the other fishermen echoed.

Stan watched the other fishermen being respectful to Jay out of a sudden. He felt bitter inside and snickered. "Hehe, his disease is infectious. What he has is all dirty money. Once we take it, maybe we'll get infected too. I'm not taking it no matter what. Those who are brave enough, go ahead."

In that case, their lives were far more valuable than money.

Under Stan's instigation, the fishermen looked at each other, doubt and hesitation showing on their faces.

Jay ignored them and turned around, about to walk back inside.

Stan hollered at him fiercely, "Ben, we're asking you to negotiate with the president. Are you just going to sit and watch?"

Jay stopped halfway. "Wages are given every month-end. This is the rule of the company. I have no right to break that."

Stan shouted back, "Since you said that wages are given at the end of the month, then how did you get your wages before the end of the month? Oh, I get it. You got the money from sleeping with her. I knew that your money is nothing more than filthy cash."

Finn walked out while holding Baby Zetty's hand. She had just woken up, and both of them were upset.

The fishermen saw that Jay had strangers in his room, so all their doubts and suspicions evaporated in an instant.

Baby Zetty walked toward Stan and looked up. Her expression was bitter as she said, "Mister is my piano teacher now, and my mommy paid him the money upfront. All of you have no way to make your own money and now you're jealous of my teacher here

who's able to earn more and quicker than the lot of you. The way I see it, my teacher is not the one who's sick. All of you have the green disease-the green-with -envy disease. All of you should visit the hospital and see a doctor."

"Green-with-envy disease? What kind of disease is that?" asked Tommy.

The fishermen rolled their eyes at Tommy. "She's saying that we're jealous of Ben."

Stan was brutish by nature, so he could not care less who Baby Zetty was. He roared at her, yelling, "Hmph, he's your piano teacher? Little lady, you're being cheated. This guy is famous for being the most useless person in our village. He doesn't know how to play the piano at all."

Jay's animosity emanated from his eyes. He hated those who disgraced him in front of Baby Zetty.

However, Baby Zetty believed him to the end and defended him. "Not only can this mister play the piano, but he also plays it very well. You haven't heard him play before, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to."

With the way Stan was rebuked, his eyes showed nothing but suspicion.

At that moment, Jay said to Finn, "Get Baby Zetty away from here."

Finn obeyed the man's orders out of habit, thus he swiftly brought Baby Zetty with him and left.

After he watched them leave, Jay gave Stan a death stare.

Stan trembled and quaked in his boots.

Jay closed in on him. Stan asked cowardly, "What are you doing?"

Jay raised his fist and launched it toward Stan.

After that, Stan started to bleed from his nose.

Stan barked at the other fishermen. "Get him!"
