Chapter 885: Revisiting the Gemstone District
Because it was morning, there were not many people in the restaurant. Ying looked at the menu and ordered several things to eat.
“Order so much?”
Ying said with a smile: “It’s almost noon anyway, so let’s just have it as breakfast and lunch together.”
“That’s fine.” Amy smiled.
After a while, the food was served, and we were enjoying steak, red wine and other delicacies.
Amy's mood gradually calmed down, and she asked: "Aren't you dropping out of school to work? Why are you still spending so much money?"
"It doesn't matter once in a while." Shadow cut a steak and joked. Said: "But if you want me to treat you every day, then I will have a headache."
Amy chuckled and asked: "Why did you think of coming to see me today? We seem to have only met each other before Let’s meet twice.” He said and inserted a 2 finger.
The film director sighed: "I can't help it, I'm in a bad mood, so I want to find someone to talk to."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Amy asked: "Is there something unpleasant?"
"How to put it." Ying thought for a while and said: "I was hated by a woman."
Amy’s heart trembled slightly and she asked: "Yes...is she your girlfriend?"
Ying shook his head and said: "No."
"Ah." Amy nodded, feeling inexplicably more relaxed: "She Is it someone you care about? ”
Ying nodded: "I care a little."
"Is it your relative?"
Ying nodded again: "I guess so."
"Maybe?" Amy thought this word was a bit ridiculous: "Why does she hate you."
Shadow sighed: "For a mistake that is not my fault at all."
"Well, it sounds a bit complicated."
Ying smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm not asking you to help me recall my pain. Tell me something about you."< br>
"My matter? What can I say about my matter?" Amy said: "I just She is an ordinary girl from an ordinary family, living an ordinary and repetitive life every day."
Yingxiao asked: "Have you ever thought about what kind of boyfriend you want to find in the future?"
"This...why do you ask that?" Amy was a little embarrassed.
"Tell me about it, I can give you a reference."
Amy shook her head: "I won't tell."
"I can guess it even if you don't tell me." Ying said: "You must want to find a tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend."
Amy smiled: "Everyone wants this."
"Then look How am I doing?" Ying put on a pose that he thought was good.
Amy burst out laughing again: "You? You are handsome enough, but you don't seem to be very tall, nor are you very rich."
Ying touched his chin and said: "You will be taller. Well, it’s hard to say whether you will be rich or not in the future. Oh."
Amy thought for a while and said, "Let me ask you a question. Did you say anything about what you said in the restaurant yesterday?"
"Hmm? I didn't expect her to ask this suddenly.
Amy said: "I don't like people who lie to me."
Ying hesitated for a moment, unable to speak for a moment.
"You hesitated. It seems that you really lied."
Ying nodded and said: "Yes, I lied yesterday." He didn't know that Amy had put his The lies were so obvious that I had no choice but to say straight: "What I said yesterday is not my true situation. In fact, I have nothing to do with dropping out of school to work, because I have no reason to I have never been to school."
"Huh?"
Ying smiled bitterly: "You know that people who have never gone to college are easily disliked and discriminated against by others, especially In a big city like the Royal Capital, even ordinary families would look down on people who have not gone to school.”
"So that's it. I didn't expect this to be the reason." Amy's eyes were quite apologetic.
Looking at her expression, Ying added: "But my living situation is not as bad as you think. In fact, I am quite rich."
"Huh?!" Amy was surprised.
The movie said: "It's true. I've been making money as a mercenary, and I've made a lot of money. So if you ask me to treat you to steak in the future, it doesn't matter even if I eat steak for the rest of my life." "You... What are you talking about?" Amy's face turned red, and she lowered her head and cut the beef on the plate absently.
Ying smiled: "By the way, did your father apply for a security guard?"
Amy shook her head: "I don't know."
"How could you not know, Don't you care about him?" Shadow asked.
"I had an argument with him last night."
"Hey, how could it be? Weren't you very happy yesterday afternoon?" Ying was very surprised.
Amy said: "It's my dad who saw that you were lying and asked me not to have anything to do with you in the future."
"Oh, you were at odds with your dad just because of me."
"Yeah." Amy nodded, suddenly came to her senses, and shook her head hurriedly: "No, it's not..." Although she denied it, it was useless, and her face suddenly turned red.
Ying chuckled...
On the other side, Tongshan Prison.
"I've told you so much, and you still don't want to say it?" Trossa lost some patience: "You should know that going against Prince Zarberg will not end well. If you don't think about yourself, you won't end well. You should think about your family. Your beautiful wife, and your parents and son in the province. "You!" Hohenheim showed anger.
Trosa raised his head and stopped him: "Don't be angry yet, this is not a threat. According to your military position, you really shouldn't keep the 'Charm of Control' now, so why are you still holding it when it shouldn't be yours?" What's your stuff? Holding it in your hands won't do any good, but will cause you unnecessary trouble. Annoying. Actually, you understand that Lord Wang Jue has no absolute reason to target you. If you think the 'Charm of Control' is a bargaining chip, now is the best time to make a deal."
Hoinheim caught. He leaned against the bars of the cell and thought about it for a long time. He also understood that the 'Charm of Control' could not be saved after all.
Trosa continued to persuade: "Based on your relationship with the prince, I believe that as long as you hand over the 'Character of Control', the prince will not embarrass you. You should also understand that you will always own this thing. If you can’t keep it, take action when it’s most valuable. This is the choice of a smart person.”
Hohenheim punched the cage hard: "If he wants the 'Talm of Control', let him tell me himself."
"Okay!" Trossa smiled with satisfaction: "I I will convey your words to Mr. Wang Jue, and I believe Mr. Wang Jue will give you a fair reward."
Seeing Trossa leave proudly, Raymond looked at Huo Ying in the prison. Haim could only shake his head.
......
It is almost noon, or for Hindmore, it is not yet noon. The sun is still shining slantingly in the east at more than 11 o'clock, but it is considered a fast food. It's time for lunch.
Andrew and his companion Lloyd came to the Gem District, the only and largest slum in Hindmore.
“That friend of yours lives here?” Lloyd saw the low-rise houses around him, some of which had long been abandoned and damaged. On the dirt road, just two steps could bring up the dust all over the street. , several children with runny noses and dirty bodies were chasing around in the alley. The dried and crusted snot painted their faces like a tabby cat.
Lloyd sighed: "A city as glamorous as Hindmore actually has a place like this. It makes me feel like those small countries and towns on the seaside."
"Hi Here, handsome guy, look here..." Standing on the street Several lost women greeted them one after another: "Come here and have fun, you can fight one-on-one, we will give you the best service." Customers in the slums cannot afford to pay too high prices, and they can serve you The guests who are several gems away are the most important ones.
Lloyd shook his head and said: "We should really bring a doctor to this place. He always likes to do human research and won't refuse anyone who comes."
Andrew led the way around two street corners and soon came to the place where Grandon often gambled.
Under the old locust tree, Feisuo, the red-haired monkey, was playing cards with a few friends under the shade of a few rotten wooden tables and chairs, because he and Glendon went to the Paradise Building. , his demeanor was completely different at this time. He was wearing a gorgeous fur coat, with a lot of gold jewelry hanging on his wrists and neck, a thick black cigar in his mouth, and a fox fur scarf on his shoulders in such a hot summer. He is not afraid of the heat, because these clothes are embedded with cold cryolite, and he becomes full of arrogance when he plays cards with his friends. Of course, this kind of arrogance is the arrogance of sudden wealth.
"Hey Brother Feisuo, do you think those two people are here to see Brother Glendon?" In the past, these gambling friends who played cards together were called Feisuo Red Monkey, but now they have changed their names. My name is Brother Feisuo.
Feisuo took off the big cigar from his mouth and turned back to Andrew and the two who were walking this way: "I recognize this man. He also came to see Brother Glendon last time." He said no He quickly put the cards in his hands on the table and said to several gamblers, "Don't look at my cards." Then he went to greet Andrew and the others.
"Little red-haired brother, we meet again." Andrew said.
"Yes, we meet again." Feisuo took a cigar and sipped vigorously, his tone no longer as polite as when they first met: "Are you coming to see my eldest brother again?"
< br>Andrew said: "Yes, please take us to see Glendon."
Feisuo bounced his legs and said indifferently: "But I remember what my elder brother said last time. He said he didn't want to deal with you anymore, didn't he?"
"You..." Lloyd couldn't bear the arrogant attitude of this ruffian young man.
Andrew stopped him and said to Feisuo: "I believe that Glendon will still see me if he knows that I will come to him again."
Feisuo looked at the two of them carefully and knew that both of them should be very capable guys. He didn't dare to offend him too much and said, "Okay, then, come with me and I will take you there."
"Brother Feisuo, are you leaving?" Several gambling youths asked when they saw Fei Suo leaving.
Feisuo waved his hand impatiently: "Wait for me, I'll be here in a moment, you guys play first, I will lose this game."
Several gambling youths were busy laughing. Said: "Hey, thank you, Brother Feisuo."
