"That sounds good. I'll take these items." Just as Maester had said, he needed an agent like the local snake to handle the loot. However, all of this would have to be built upon his successful revenge on the Parkland's valve. However, Maester's words gave them a little inspiration. He didn't know how long it would take for him to earn money from missions like the mercenary soldier to start over again.
Zero even considered taking revenge on the Parkland, using the money he received to build his own company. War between nations is not for the time being to be considered, but war between companies is actually feasible. In turbulent times, companies and companies were far from being friendly.
Seeing that Zero was about to leave, Maester called out to him, "Wait, seeing that we have reached an oral agreement, I have a small gift for you."
"A gift?" Su Yun looked at Maester in confusion. He couldn't think of anything else Maester wanted to give him.
Maester called for a subordinate, and not long later, Moni was brought over.
Seeing Moni, Zero remembered that he had promised to protect her until she turned eighteen and teach her the skill to survive in the wilderness. It was just that after the incident with Solon, Zero had been busy adapting to his new abilities, but had not seen Moni yet.
Maester pushed Moni to where Zero was, and laughed: "From now on, this girl is yours."
Looking at him, Maester shook his head and pretended to surrender. "Alright, alright, Moni had come to see me in private before. I hope I can get her out from Johnson's place. She told me that you were willing to be her protector. That's good, but it doesn't mean you can take her away easily. There was a rule of the wilderness, Moni belonged to Johnson. Even if you were willing to buy the goods for a sum of money, Johnson would be the first to sell them. In this place, no one other than me can forcefully take her away, so she came to me to beg for help, but the price was her body. "
His eyes instantly turned cold.
"Don't look at me like that, brother." Maester laughed: "The two of us are partners, I won't destroy our relationship for the sake of a young girl. Don't worry, I didn't touch a single hair on Moni's head. You can take her away. Furthermore, I guarantee that Johnson will not cause trouble for you, because he has already been killed by me. "
"This is the number one rule of the wilderness, whoever has the strongest fist will be the boss. The other rules are nothing in front of strength." Maester used a sentence that was unique to the wilderness as the conclusion of the night.
Zero nodded and left the bar while holding Moni's hand.
One of Maester's underlings whispered at the side: "Chief, do we need to be so courteous to a mercenary soldier?"
Maester bit on the cigar and said: "Whoever can get the Dark Council's things to be spat out will be the one to be so polite to me. Do you understand?"
The streets were very quiet under the night sky. Occasionally, only a few passerby would be allowed to pass by. Zero and Moni walked on the street. Ever since they left the tavern, Moni had been exceptionally quiet. She was wearing a black windbreaker today, accentuating the girl's silver hair. This head of silver hair was as beautiful as the Milky Way that could be seen in the night sky of an old era.
He thought that when Maester killed Johnson, Moni was also at the scene. In the old days, a twelve or thirteen year old girl would probably have been frightened if she had personally witnessed someone being killed. But now, even a child like Moni was much stronger. After all, in this era of natural selection, if one's willpower wasn't strong enough, they would have long been abandoned by the times.
But under that delicate body, there wasn't even the slightest bit of fear? Su Ling looked at Moni. The girl's hand that was holding onto the corner of her clothes was so pale white. He sighed, and placed his hand on Moni's small shoulder, then placed her against himself. Moni subconsciously held onto Su Yun, then his body involuntarily trembled. His pair of sea-blue eyes also started to fill with moisture.
But she did not cry. She was stronger than Zero had imagined. However, in this situation, crying might be a good thing.
In the end, Moni still did not cry. When she arrived in front of Viktor's clinic, she released Zero and revealed a sweet smile to Zero, "Thank you, Zero. I thought you didn't want to take me. "
"I will keep my promise." Zero continued, "It's just that the place I'm going to is very dangerous, you …"
"I want to go!" Moni said resolutely, and said faintly: "In this world, where is it safe?"
Zero could not answer this question.
When he brought Moni into the clinic, Viktor whistled and gave him an ambiguous look. Zero really wanted to punch him. Does he look like someone who has a nymphomaniac?
However, Moni politely asked Viktor where the bathroom was, and then said to Zero: "I'll go get some water for you."
With that, the little girl headed straight for the second floor. Following that, Moni's surprised exclamation came from upstairs, followed by a pulling sound. Moni let out a light laugh. It seemed that she also liked the round and alluring Lala quite a lot.
"That's a nice kid, isn't it?" Viktor passed over a cigarette to Lingyi, and said: "But in this shitty era, a child like him was reduced to a fledgling prostitute. "If this era can be pulled out and shot, I will be the first one to shoot it."
Zero pointed at himself and said, "If there's such a good thing, I won't give it to you."
Viktor laughed and said: "She wants to go with you right?"
Zero.
"I have heard some news about Moni. She and her mother came to the Raging Reef City seven years ago. After living here for a while, Moni's mother seemed to have been bought by someone else and taken away, while Moni was bought by Johnson. After the age of nine, Moni had to give Johnson money. From the age of ten onwards, she has had to receive guests with special interests. " Viktor said with a little sadness, "I have talked to her before. She is a very strong child, and I hope that I can use my own efforts to find her mother. It's a pity that I used my money to buy Kailin back then. Otherwise, I would have redeemed her and raised her as my daughter. "
Su Yun looked at Viktor silently. The doctor felt embarrassed from his gaze and shouted: "What, I like my daughter. It's not like Kailin can't have children."
The sound of footsteps came up as Moni ran down the stairs. Her little face was flushed red as she said to Zero, "Sir, you can take a bath now."
"Just call me Zero." Zero was not used to being called Mister.
Moni nodded and ran up again. Then he turned to Viktor and said, "Thank you for telling me these things. Now I understand a little why this child insisted on leaving with me.
Watching as Su Yun walked up the stairs, Viktor said in a low voice, "The baby bird always hopes to return to under the wings of its mother, so everyone has their own home. Zero, where is your destination? "
