Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 44 Am I the most beautiful?

Chapter 44 Am I the most beautiful?
Deep in the dark alley, among the bustling crowd, Li Ke carried Jinx on his back. Although she buried her little face in Li Ke's shoulder, her long blue braid alone made her very conspicuous.

The residents of the middle levels and other parts of Zaun, perhaps, don’t know who Jinx is, but who live in the gutters and in the dark alleys?
Oh, they know who Jinx is!

Although Hilco hid her well and seldom sent her out to do things, her reputation for viciousness was no less than that of Sevica, and even more so.

Sevika is a ruthless character. If a business deal cannot be concluded, she will resort to violence. Over the years, many dock gang bosses and gutter merchants have died at her hands, but how about compared to Jinx?

That's really incomparable, because this young lady is the kind of person who will kill people over the slightest disagreement, even if the business deal has been concluded.

A madman is more terrifying than a thug because you can never guess what she is thinking.

Not to mention Hilco's favor for this lord. Everyone in Black Alley knows how favored she is. People who live here have often seen Jinx pointing at Sevica's nose and scolding her at the door of the Fulgrim Tavern, and even though Sevica was so angry that she was shaking all over, she didn't dare to fight back.

And now, seeing her sleeping soundly on the back of a black-haired young man, these people were shocked.

“Am I fucking seeing things? Is that Jinx?”

"Indeed, although hair can be deceiving, this slender body and temperament cannot be deceiving."

"How did he do that?"

Li Ke ignored the gazes of the people around him, holding Jinx's round and perky little butt, and walked towards the territory that originally belonged to Finn.

There was no need for him to take Jinx and hide from the sight of the sewer people anymore, as he now had the ability to do so.

And Hilco gave the territory to Li Ke, expanding the power of the Lotus Gang.

After the Wildfire Gang is incorporated, the Lotus Gang plus the Wildfire Gang, Li Ke, will become the second largest force in Zaun after Hilco.

Alchemy Baron?

Haha, he's just a useless gangster who hired dozens of thugs, opened a factory, and called himself the king.

The reason why Silko gave the territory to Li Ke was simple: although it was Sevika who killed Finn in the end, Silko did not intend to take Finn's territory, not only because he had agreed with Li Ke to expand the power of the Lotus Gang, but also because it would cause "public opinion."

That's right, whether it's the Alchemist Baron or the people living in the sewers, as long as people know what happened on that day and know that Finn did not attend the Baron meeting yesterday, they will all guess that Finn's death must be driven by Hilco.

But Hilko didn't admit it. Is there anyone who dares to say that it was Hilko who did it?

Unless Finn comes back to life and says that it was Hilco who killed him, and then guides public opinion, no one would dare to come out and accuse Hilco of wrongdoing at this time.

Not to mention, Finn's territory has now been given to a newly emerging gang, what is the Lotus Gang?

Although the current news is that Finn was killed by people from this gang, and this is a fight between a gang and the Baron, everyone knows that the Lotus Gang and Hilco have an unclear relationship.

"Well"

"How long have I slept?"

Yawning, Jinx raised her body, from lying on Li Ke's body to riding on Li Ke's back, with one hand on Li Ke's shoulder and the other hand rubbing her eyes, she said dazedly: "Are we going back?"

"You've slept for almost two hours. How do you feel?" Li Ke heard the confused voice behind him and said with a smile.

Jinx stretched out her arms and legs like a cat, her long braids hanging down to Li Ke's ankles, almost touching the ground. She nodded and said, "Not bad, but it feels like someone pinched my nose when I was sleeping, so annoying."

".That's because you were sleeping on the sofa with your face buried in it, so of course your breathing would be blocked."

"Is that so?" Jinx asked in surprise.

"of course."

"Where are we going now? This doesn't seem to be the way back to the Lotus Gang." Jinx looked around, and when she saw others looking at her and Li Ke, she would glare back. The people she glared at would immediately avoid her sight and hide from this crazy little devil from Zaun.

"Let's go to the newly established territory. Wei and the others are already there, and Ike is waiting for me there too." Li Ke replied.

This morning, Zeli brought the news to Ike that he agreed to lead the Wildfire Gang to merge into the Lotus Gang.

Thinking of this, Li Ke lifted up the hand that was supporting Jinx's little butt. Seeing that Jinx did not suggest to get down and walk by herself, Li Ke naturally would not take the initiative to let Jinx get off him.

After all, Jinx was not heavy, and it was not a burden at all for Li Ke to carry the little girl weighing over 100 pounds on his back.

Another thing is his contact with Jinx. She has a smell that Li Ke likes very much. It is the smell of laundry detergent, machine oil, and an indescribable milky smell.

It's not strange when these smells are mixed together. On the contrary, Li Ke likes them very much.

Is it because the owner of the smell is Jinx?
Li Ke was not sure.

But the smell made him feel at ease.

"Like, I hate Ike." She suddenly put her arms around Li Ke's neck, leaned her head against Li Ke's head and said in a muffled voice.

"why?"

"Because he hates me, too. If he hates me, then I hate him." Jinx said in a matter-of-fact tone, "He thinks I've changed, become abnormal, and repeatedly makes trouble for me. In fact, when I first saw him, I didn't recognize that person as him, otherwise I would never have done anything to him. We used to play together when we were young. I'm not that crazy, Li Ke."

"He clearly recognized me, but he also didn't acknowledge me. Is it because I'm following Hilco now?" Jinx's tone was a little angry.

"Whether it's Vi or Ekko, they're all the same. They keep saying that they like me and care about me, but when they find out I'm with Silko, they start to be afraid of me and hate me. But they could have clearly persuaded me to leave Silko." Jinx's tone was a little lost.

This meeting with Silko was the first time Jinx had met Silko in a month after leaving him. She had never been away from Silko for so long before.

Will you miss Hilco?

meeting.
Don't you know what happened between Hilco, Wei, and Ike?

Also know.
Actually, Jinx knows everything. She knows a lot of things. She was very smart when she was young. She also knew that it was Silk who killed Fandel. No, it should be me. Silk and I killed Fandel together, but Wei abandoned me, and Silk came to me again. What can I do?

Wei's departure caused her to suffer a mental breakdown. Her desire to survive made her subconsciously rush towards the nearest person, trying to seek protection from an adult.

I. I just want to survive.

At that time, Baobao didn’t understand so many principles at all.

But in the final analysis, it was indeed her who made the mistake first. Thinking of this, Jinx felt depressed again. Li Ke, who was carrying her on his back, clearly sensed her unhappiness.

Because the sentiment level is rising like crazy
"Then do you think it's Ike and Wei's fault?" Li Ke thought for a while and said.

After hearing this, Jinx suddenly opened her mouth, lowered her head and gently bit Li Ke's neck. Then, she stuck out her tongue and licked Li Ke's neck twice. The wet and soft touch made Li Ke's body tremble, and an indescribable numbness rushed up his spine.

He took out the hand that was supporting Jinx's butt, reached towards his neck, and covered the place where Jinx had licked. It was hot and a little wet. When he tilted his head, Li Ke saw Jinx with a sad face.

She held onto Li Ke's shoulders with both hands to steady herself, and her worried little face looked extremely adorable.

Li Ke looked at her and found that she had become more normal. Li Ke hadn't seen her go crazy for some time.

But this is not surprising, because now she has Isa, Wei, and Li Ke. The people she cares about are around her, so her emotions will naturally become stable.

"You are bullying me." Jinx said to Li Ke.

"I'm just asking." Li Ke was speechless.

"Actually, I know, I also know that I have done a lot of things wrong. It's not their fault, but... I just want them to tolerate me and love me like before, but they have all changed!" Jinx looked at Li Ke, blinked her bright blue eyes, and then said: "They all say that I have changed. Bullshit! They are the ones who have changed!"

"If they tolerate me and love me like before, I will definitely follow them and listen to them like before."

"But you saw it all. They are all afraid of me. Especially Wei. She kept saying that she loved me and that she stayed in the Lotus Gang because of me. She said she would protect me. But last time I secretly went to see her and stood by her bedside watching her sleep. When she woke up, she was shocked to see me."

"Oh my god, she was so scared that she shrank into the corner of the bed. Am I really ugly? I'm so pretty!"

Jinx screamed, stretched out her hand to grab the hair on her forehead, and shook it while speaking.

"Li Ke, am I the most beautiful?"

"Yes." Li Ke answered seriously.

He has seen Jinx with disheveled hair, Jinx sleeping, and Jinx with a plain and quiet expression. Li Ke dares to say that she is indeed the most beautiful girl in Zaun.

Especially when her blue hair was disheveled and she looked sleepy and dazed, it was difficult for Li Ke to describe Jinx like that.

But...cold, broken, and melancholy are perhaps the best adjectives?
"I still don't want to see Ike."

"It's okay. If you don't want to see me, then we won't see me."

"Don't you have something important to discuss with him? Don't you want to conquer the Firefly Gang?" Jinx blinked.

"It doesn't matter. There will be opportunities in the future. He has agreed anyway." Li Ke changed direction and no longer walked towards Finn's original territory.

But towards the location of the Lotus Gang.

Jinx suddenly threw herself on Li Ke's back, and pressed her chin on Li Ke's head. She said, "Silco is not that bad. No, he is very bad, a super bad guy who killed many people. But Li Ke, he is really good to me."

"I'm not stupid. I can tell who is good to me and who is bad to me."

"He really did raise you as his daughter. Don't worry, Jinx. Silko won't be our enemy. He'll be fine."

"I didn't think that much."

Li Ke carried Jinx on his back and walked back to the Lotus Gang step by step.

Jinx lay on his back, her face buried in the hollow of Li Ke's shoulder.

Suddenly, she moved and rubbed her forehead against Li Ke's shoulder.

“You’re different.”

"What?" Li Ke heard Jinx's voice and asked her.

What great ears he has.

But Jinx didn't say anything, she just rubbed Li Ke's shoulder like a cat.

You are different.
Really.

Li Ke,
