"Sounds good, then I'll accept these things." Zero mentioned the ammunition bag, and indeed, as Master said, he needed a *person like a local snake to handle the spoils. But all of this had to be based on his successful retaliation against the Parkland chaebol. However, Master's words also gave a little inspiration. It is like a mercenary-style mission to make money. I don't know when it will be able to earn the start-up funds for the rebirth plan.
Zero even considered taking revenge on Parkland, and used the funds obtained to build his own company. Wars between nations are not considered for now, but wars between corporations are practical. In turbulent times, companies are far from friendly.
Seeing that Zero was about to leave, Master called to him: "Wait, for the sake of our verbal agreement, I still have a small gift for you."
"Gift?" Zero looked at Master suspiciously, unable to think of anything else he wanted to give himself.
Master called one of his men, and after a while, Mo Ni was brought over.
Seeing Mo Ni, Zero remembered that he seemed to have promised to protect her until she was eighteen and teach her the skills to survive in the wilderness. It's just that after the Sauron incident, Zero has been busy adapting to his new abilities, but he hasn't seen Moni yet.
Master pushed Moni to Zero, and said with a smile, "From now on, this girl is yours."
Zero looked at him, and Master shook his head and raised his hand as a sign of surrender: "Okay, okay, this girl Mo Ni once came to see me in private. I hope I can get her out of Johnson. She told me that you are willing to be Her protector. That's good, but it doesn't mean that you can take her away easily. The wilderness has its own rules, and Moni belongs to Johnson's... Goods, even if you are willing to buy her with a sum of money, it's fine. Only if Johnson is willing to sell it. Here, no one can take her away by force except me, so she came to beg me at the price of her body."
Zero's eyes immediately turned cold.
"Don't look at me like that, brother." Master smiled and said, "We are partners. I won't be so superficial and destroy our relationship for the sake of a young girl. Don't worry, I didn't touch Monnie. Hairy, you can take her away. And I guarantee that Johnson will not trouble you, because he has already been slaughtered by me."
"This is the first rule in the wilderness. Whoever has the biggest fist is the boss. Other rules are nothing in front of strength." Master used a wilderness characteristic sentence as the end of the night.
Zero nodded, took Moni's hand and left the bar.
One of Master's subordinates whispered beside him: "Boss, do we need to be so polite to a mercenary?"
Master bit his cigar and said, "Whoever can make me spit out what the Dark Council got, can make me so polite, do you understand?"
The street in the dark night is very quiet, occasionally there are only a few passers-by. Zero and Mo Ni walked on the street, since leaving the tavern, Mo Ni was surprisingly quiet. She wore a black windbreaker today, which set off the girl's silver hair even more dazzlingly. This head of silver-colored hair is as beautiful as the Milky Way that can be seen in the night sky of old times.
Zero saw that the cap of the windbreaker was still stained with a little blood, probably when Master killed Johnson, Monnie was also there. If it was in the old days, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl would probably be terrified when she saw a person being killed with her own eyes. But now, even a child of Moni's age is much stronger. After all, in this era of natural selection, if even the will is not strong enough, it has already been abandoned by the times.
But under that delicate body, isn't there even a little fear? Zero looked at Mo Ni, the girl's little hands holding the hem of her clothes were so pale. He sighed, and dropped his hands on Monie's small shoulders, and pulled her against him. Mo Ni subconsciously hugged Zero with her backhand, and then her body trembled involuntarily. And in those sea-blue pupils, water vapor also began to surge.
But she didn't cry, she was far stronger than Zero imagined. It's just that in this case, it might be a good thing to cry.
After all, Mo Ni didn't cry. When she arrived at Victor's clinic, she let go of Zero and gave Zero a sweet smile: "Thank you, Zero. I thought you didn't want to take me away."
"What I promised, I will keep." Zero said again: "It's just that the place I'm going to will be very dangerous, you..."
"I'm going!" Mo Ni resolutely said, and said quietly: "In this world, is there any place that is safe?"
Zero cannot answer this question.
When he walked into the clinic with Mo Ni, Victor whistled and gave Ling an ambiguous wink. Zero really wants to punch him, does he look like a childish person
Mo Ni politely asked Victor where the bathroom was, and then said to Zero: "I'll get you some water."
After speaking, the little girl went straight to the second floor. Followed by Mo Ni's exclamation from upstairs, and then Lala's voice also sounded. Moni let out a chuckle, it seems that she also likes the chubby Lala very much.
"What a well-behaved child, isn't he?" Victor handed Ling a cigarette and said, "But in this era of shit, such a child has been reduced to a prostitute. If this era can be pulled out and shot, Lao Tzu Be the first to give it a shot."
Zero pointed at himself and said, "If there is such a good thing, I won't let it go to you."
Victor laughed and said, "Is she going with you?"
zero nod.
"I've heard something about Mo Ni. She and her mother came to Nu Reef City seven years ago. After living here for a while, it seems that Mo Ni's mother was bought and taken away, and Mo Ni was taken away by someone. Johnson bought it. After the age of nine, Monny had to make money for Johnson. From the age of ten, she had to receive guests with special hobbies." Victor said a little sadly: "I talked to her, she is a very A strong child, I hope to find her mother through my own efforts. It is a pity that my money was used to buy Kailin back then, otherwise I would have redeemed her and raised her as a daughter."
Zero looked at Victor silently, the doctor was embarrassed by his stare, and said loudly: "Why, I like my daughter, and Kailin is barren."
Footsteps sounded, Mo Ni ran down the stairs, her face flushed and she said to Zero: "Sir, you can take a bath now."
"Call me Zero." Zero is not used to being called Mister.
Mo Ni nodded and ran up again. Zero said to Victor again: "Thank you for telling me this. Now I understand a little bit why this child insisted on leaving with me. Everything is to find his mother."
Watching Ling go up the stairs, Victor whispered: "Young birds always want to return to their mother's wing. Everyone has their own home. Zero, where is your home?"
