Punching Up

Blake, weighed down by his family's crushing poverty, became an easy target for a local thug. The tyrant demanded that he hand over the cherished family heirloom jade pendant. When Blake refused and tried to resist, he was beaten severely, blood dripping onto the pendant. Later, when his elder brother's wife was harassed by the village chief's son, Blake stepped in and drove the man away. Unable to let go of his grudge, the village chief's son allied with the thug to relentlessly torment Blake at every opportunity.
