SSS Talent: I Can Rewrite Reality

Next morning, Jackson was awakened by loud shouting outside, followed by heavy banging on the door.

Outside the apartment, a group of six people stood with chilling expressions on their faces. At their front was a mature woman banging heavily on the door.

Aella woke up from the sudden noise. Frightened, she hugged Mother Rose tightly, who was already awake.

"Mommy, I am afraid..." Aella tried her best to suppress the tears that had already appeared on the corners of her eyes, like two glistening jewels.

Mother Rose had a look of worry on her face, a terrible feeling rising in her heart, but looking at the pitiful face of her daughter, she did her best to suppress the discomfort and comfort her.

"Don’t worry, little Aella. It must have been the wind. You wait here while Mommy goes out to deal with it."

She might be young, but Aella’s intelligence was far above her peers. From the expression on Mother Rose’s face, she could tell some kind of trouble was brewing.

"Mother, don’t go..."

Looking at this scene, Mother Rose assured Aella with some words, then headed toward the main door.

In the second room, Jackson also hurriedly got up. Not caring about his appearance, he hurriedly moved out. Just as he was about to step out, he heard a loud familiar voice filled with mockery.

"Rose, I had already warned you to prepare the rent..."

"Considering our past relationship, I can at most give you one hour to arrange the rent..."

Mr. Laker...? Jackson’s eyebrows could not help but scrunch up together. Just as he was thinking why she was here, he realized it was already a new month.

She was here to collect rent...

Thinking up to this point, even more questions appeared in his head.

This wasn’t how Mrs. Laker usually behaved. Normally, it would only be during the second or third of the month that she would send someone to collect the rent.

Then why was she here on the first morning itself?

No matter how much Jackson thought, he could not understand Mrs. Laker’s behavior.

In the end, he could only suppress those questions and frown hard.

He sensed Mrs. Laker’s ulterior motive. Coming this early and shouting loudly, she was definitely here to cause some trouble.

By this time, Jackson’s neighbors were also stirred awake by the commotion. With groggy eyes still filled with sleep, they emerged only to see Mrs. Laker surrounding five able-bodied men.

"Isn’t that Mrs. Laker...? What happened to her...? Doesn’t she usually come to collect rent on the third or fifth of the month?"

"Strange. Usually Mrs. Laker and the Von Maximus household share a good relationship. What happened to cause this change?"

"Tsk, what do you know? Mrs. Rose’s eldest son failed to awaken a decent talent and had no hope of going to the elite academy..."

"All the efforts that Mrs. Laker had put in had been for nothing. Now that her efforts are wasted, she is showing her true colors..."

The neighbors discussed among themselves. They had all seen how the ruthless Mrs. Laker turned into an amicable woman when dealing with the Von Maximus household. All of them pretended they did not notice, but secretly felt jealous of Jackson and his family, always imagining that if they also had a child as talented as Jackson, they could have also enjoyed the same treatment. But now the situation had reversed, and they could not help but feel slightly good.

At this time, at the entrance, Mother Rose stood with a pale expression on her face.

"Mrs. Laker, what is the meaning of this...? I have always paid the rent on time. This time we are having a difficult situation. Please consider giving us the time of a few days, and we will give it to you..."

At this time, Mrs. Laker’s face was colder than ice. She eyed Mother Rose up and down and said offhandedly,

"Rose, didn’t I already warn you before...? If you don’t have the money, then simply scram out of my property."

Just then, Mrs. Laker’s gaze moved deeper into the apartment, her gaze sharp as a razor. Then, as if spotting something, her face turned even colder.

"A hole in the wall..."

"Damn you, Rose, are you even human...? I rented you this apartment to live in, not destroy it..."

"Even animals know how to maintain the area they live in..."

"Mrs. Laker..." Mother Rose’s lips could not help but tremble. Mrs. Laker was being just too much.

Hearing Rose’s words, Mrs. Laker erupted as if Rose had insulted her.

Mother Rose this time also realized the situation they were in. Mrs. Laker wasn’t here to simply collect the rent...

Thinking about her two children, she had no choice but to endure.

Just as she was about to start speaking—

The sound of calm footsteps came from behind her, followed by an indifferent voice.

"Mother, there is no need to lower yourself in front of such people."

"Jackson, you get back. I will deal with these people."

Mother Rose ignored his words completely and tried to push him back.

"Jackson, go back. I will deal with this."

Rose said firmly. No mother wanted her children to face such a violent situation.

Looking at his mother’s reaction, he could understand what she was thinking. Jackson shook his head.

He might not be the strongest person in the room, but at least he was not helpless anymore.

He was no longer a helpless genius either... with his meager strength, he could at least protect his family.

Mrs. Laker watched the scene with her expression darkening.

Elsewhere, she herself didn’t think she would have to resort to such tricks, but now things had changed. Just last night, a family had visited her looking for an apartment on rent, offering her rent as high as five hundred mana stones. If it were before, Mrs. Laker might have rejected it, not willing to become enemies with the family of a genius who might join the elite academy, but now things had changed.

Jackson was no longer a genius...

She had already lost hundred mana stones. Now there was a chance to recover all of those stones. She was not going to waste it.

And now, when she saw the look in Jackson’s eyes, her anger flared.

A mere trash dared to look at her this arrogantly...?

These filthy people...

Feeling furious, she shouted loudly,

"Man, what are you waiting for? Throw these people out..."
