Back when they had been in the transport vehicle, a young hoodlum named Ron Callum had also been on board with them.

Perhaps Ron had heard rumors about them because he had known that the man of the house had abandoned Mark and his mother. That was why the mother-and-son duo had decided to leave.

One night, Ron had accidentally bumped into Mark. He had grabbed Mark, demanding an apology from him.

Yet despite his young age, Mark had been as stubborn as a mule. He had stared coldly at Ron, which only infuriated him further.

Ron had cursed, saying, "You're a bastard who got abandoned by his father! And your mother is a mistress! Why are you acting all high and mighty?"

Before he had managed to finish his insult, Mark had swung at him.

Although Mark had been small in size, he'd still packed a mean punch.

Ron had spat out a mouthful of blood from the hit. Enraged, he had immediately started beating Mark mercilessly in the compartment.

At that time, Mark's mother had still been sick.
