Molly was a little embarrassed. She had a pretty good relationship with Sister Muzi, and she had been taken care of by her. It was okay that she didn't bring any gifts on this visit, but it was indeed a bit inappropriate to get straight to business.
However, Sister Muzi seemed to be just joking and had no intention of really pursuing Molly. She flicked the ash off her hand and said to Molly:
"You're here to look for the cowboys, right?"
"Hey, Sister Muzi, do you know where the cowboys went?"
"Yes, they went to seek refuge."
"Take refuge..."
Molly's expression became much more serious: "Is it... the Brotherhood of Barr...?"
When Molly mentioned refuge, she thought of the Barr Brotherhood and felt heavy-hearted. If the Barr Brotherhood really came to trouble the cowboys during her absence...
"No, it's because of you."
"..."
Muzi's words made Molly silent. She was confused and had a lot of questions in her head: "Because...because of me?"
Muzi nodded: "Yes, wasn't Miss Mo assassinated some time ago? The Segawa Group is searching the whole city for the murderer. Cowboys and other mercenaries who have killed people but have no background will be easily caught and taken the blame if they don't hide in advance, so they hid."
"That's it..."
After hearing what Muzi said, Molly's expression suddenly became strange.
It turned out that in the end it was all because of him. Because he and his sister Mo Tian were assassinated, it triggered a violent reaction from the Segawa Group, resulting in those people at the bottom of the Chaos City having to hide to avoid accidental injuries.
Molly once again realized her current identity, but soon Molly thought of something and asked Muzi in astonishment:
"Sister Muzi, you already know...?!"
Have you already known that you are Miss Mo?
That's what Molly wanted to ask.
Muzi said helplessly: "It's impossible not to know. Linghua Group has deliberately leaked your information to us middlemen. If anything happens to you, we middlemen will also be blamed."
After Muzi finished speaking, he sighed and looked at Molly with some helplessness and fatigue in his eyes.
The large-scale investigation by the Segawa Group was not only aimed at the powerless lower-class people, but also affected the middlemen.
The middlemen in charge of the first few districts are still okay, but the middlemen in charge of district ten and after have all been blackmailed by the Segawa Group to some extent.
The people in the middle have no choice. Even though they are superior in front of ordinary people, they are nothing in front of a behemoth like the Segawa Group.
If they don't want to lose everything they have now, they can only obey the orders of the Segawa Group.
Because Muzi had made great contributions in protecting Molly and had some relationship with Molly, he was not blackmailed too much by the Segawa Group, but others were not so lucky.
Seeing that Muzi was in a difficult situation, Molly didn't know what to say.
This world is deformed in some places. Any idea or disturbance of the upper class will make the people at the bottom suffer.
Middlemen like Muzi are still easy to deal with, and mercenaries like Cowboy who have some spare money can go out and hide.
But what about others?
Molly doesn't think she is a good person. She has said before that she is a hypocrite at best, just trying to make herself satisfied.
As long as you can make yourself comfortable, let others die.
Molly's ultimate dream is to do whatever she wants.
But having said that, Molly still felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Muzi say this, but there was nothing she could do.
After thinking about it, Molly chose to forget about these things that made her uncomfortable, and turned to ask Muzi:
“…Where are the cowboys hiding now?”
"You'll know when you go home and take a look."
"Hidden in my house!?"
"…next door to your house."
Muzi seemed speechless and didn't know how Molly came up with this idea.
After all, Molly's identity is there. Even if you are Molly's friend, something bad might happen if you go to her house when Molly is not at home.
The secret guards protecting Molly are no pushovers.
Besides, Muzi couldn't just take the initiative to invite someone to visit the owner's house when the owner was not at home. After all, the moment the house was rented out, it belonged to Molly and Muzi had no right to dispose of it.
Of course, if Molly was just an ordinary mercenary, there wouldn’t be so much to say.
After getting the news about Cowboy from Muzi, Molly did not delay. After saying goodbye to Muzi, she returned to the apartment prepared for her by Muzi.
It was only at this time that Molly realized that the entire apartment building belonged to Muzi. In District 22, Muzi was considered a wealthy woman.
If she had known this before Mo Tian came, Molly might have already been preparing to cling to Mu Zi's thighs.
After returning to the apartment, Molly did not return to her room immediately, but went to the partition of her room.
I heard that Cowboy and his daughter lived here, and Kyoko hid somewhere else. Except for her active contact with Cowboy and Molly, no one else could find her.
Chen Qi can be contacted, but Molly has no relationship with him. If he doesn't call Molly, Molly won't call him either.
In the end, the only one who could talk was the cowboy.
But what Molly didn't expect was that as soon as she arrived at the cowboy's door, before she even knocked on the door, Molly heard a quarrel inside:
"Leave me alone!!"
"You are my daughter! If I don't take care of you, who else can?"
"Now you know I'm your daughter! Why didn't you think of me as your daughter when you were working as a mercenary without telling me?"
"Alice!"
The cowboy started arguing with his daughter. Molly stood at the door with her hand on it, not knowing whether to knock or not.
It is better not to get involved in this kind of father-daughter quarrel. Even a judge would find it difficult to judge family affairs, and Molly is not good at persuasion. Rather than getting involved and making things more confusing, it is better to stay outside and wait for them to finish quarreling.
Thinking of this, Molly took a few steps back and prepared to go back to her room for a while.
But he didn't expect that just after he took a few steps back, the electronic door in front of him suddenly opened, and a girl with medium-length brown hair who looked like Melina, the heroine in "Ashes of Time", ran out of the door.
She is Alice Scott.
"Leave me alone!! I want to go back!!"
When Alice opened the door, she did not see Molly right in front of her. She yelled angrily at the cowboy in the room and was about to walk out.
It was only then that she noticed Molly standing at the door, but she was only stunned for a moment before she ran away from Molly, wiping her tears.
The cowboy didn't catch up with her until she ran far away.
He stayed in the room to clean up the things that were messed up by the quarrel, then sat on the sofa facing the door. When he saw Molly come in, he sighed and said to her:
"You're back... Sorry to have embarrassed you."
"Nothing, are you unhappy with your daughter?"
"You'll know after you see it. How can a happy conversation be like this?"
The cowboy rubbed his hair with one hand, looking very depressed.
Molly was about to say something when she heard the cowboy ask her:
"Sorry, let me calm down first. Can I ask you for a favor? Go check on Alice for me. I'm a little worried about her being out there alone."
In order to avoid a more serious quarrel when they met, the cowboy did not choose to chase after him himself.
He asked Molly to help look after Alice.
Molly had nothing to do, and seeing the cowboy's silence, she didn't know how to say anything to persuade him.
While the scent of shampoo left by Alice in the air had not yet dissipated, Molly followed.
Alice didn't walk far. Perhaps she knew that it was unwise to run around in an unfamiliar place, so she didn't run out of the apartment, but ran upstairs to the rooftop above the apartment.
The rooftop is a public place, and many residents move their unused items here, so it looks very messy.
When Molly caught up, she saw Alice sitting on a pile of cardboard boxes filled with sundries, wiping tears with red eyes, looking at the city below.
If you don’t know, you would think she has suffered a lot of injustice.
Molly hesitated for a while after going up, took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to Alice, then asked:
"Are you OK?"
Alice glanced at the tissue and did not take it. Instead, she looked at Molly with some caution and asked:
"Who are you."
The last time Molly met her, she was wearing a mask, and until Molly left, the two had never met in their true faces, so Alice was not clear about Molly's identity.
She just felt that Molly looked familiar.
Molly explained calmly:
"Your dad's colleague, you can call me Red Wolf."
"..."
Alice was stunned.
Of course she knew about Red Wolf. It was the mercenary Red Wolf who saved them last time.
But she didn't expect that Red Wolf was such a young and beautiful girl.
Chapter 102: Fantasy Dream? Mewtwo!
Facing her savior, no matter how much resentment or anger Alice had in her heart, she couldn't express it at all at this moment.
She stared at Molly for a while before asking:
"Did Dad ask you to come here?"
"He was worried about you, so he asked me to come and check on you. After all, District 22 is actually quite dangerous."
“…I know that.”
Alice said sullenly.
The closer you get to the periphery of a city of chaos, the more chaotic the order becomes, and this chaos is even more so in the outer areas outside the city.
Including District 22, a total of seven areas belong to the outer areas of the City of Chaos. Various criminal incidents occur in these areas even during the day when order seems to be relatively stable.
As long as they are not detected by surveillance cameras or seen by patrol police, crimes may occur.
Alice has lived in District 21 for a long time, so she certainly knows this, which is why she chose to come to the rooftop instead of going out to relax.
From this point of view, Alice is relatively rational.
Seeing that Alice didn't intend to say more, Molly looked around the rooftop, and finally sat on an abandoned chair not far from Alice, and said:
"I heard from the cowboy that your relationship with him doesn't seem to be very good."
"Why, you want to be a lobbyist too?"
Alice gave Molly a sidelong glance.
"also?"
"Before, that girl named Kyoko also came to persuade me..."
"I see."
Molly nodded in understanding.
It seems that Molly was not the only person invited by the cowboy. In order to ease the father-daughter relationship between himself and his daughter, the cowboy must have done a lot of work.
But it is estimated that the effect is minimal, otherwise Alice would not be like this now.
Scratching her head for a moment, Molly decided to skip this topic and asked:
"Do you hate your father?"
"It's not that I hate him... I just don't want him to do anything too dangerous."
