They should have left earlier.

Just bragging and intimidation and the possible families behind them are not enough to make the local tyrants retreat even a single step.

By the time their fathers or grandfathers came with money to redeem them, the two ladies were already in tatters.

Thinking of this, Matilda became more determined in her decision.

"You have to leave." She said, "Leave quickly. That corrupt policeman will not give up. There are photos of me at home. No matter how long it takes, they will find me. I can't involve you..."

Nagini put down her teacup with a smile and was about to speak, but suddenly wrinkled her nose. She turned around and saw Mori Yuesha, who was wearing a white gauze and crystal strapless evening gown, looking at her from a distance from the door.

Let's see the wealth of people one by one.

"What, what happened?" Matilda asked puzzledly.

"Blood."

Nagini uttered a single word, quickly stood up and headed for the door.

In the corridor, a familiar face appeared again - that man. The bearded man wearing a round cap and black sunglasses. There was a trace of red on his hooked nose. He covered his abdomen, carried a square suitcase, and limped into the house.

Behind him, his leather shoes left a long trail of blood from the staircase to the end of the corridor. His room was next to Mori Yuesha and Nagini's room.

"I know him." Matilda leaned over the small hole in the door and squinted one eye. "I've seen him at the stairs. He would go out from time to time and come back suddenly from time to time. There was no fixed time. At first I thought he was some special professional."

This special professional you are talking about is not the one I thought of, right?

Matilda snorted softly and glanced at Mori Yuesha with disdain: "That's it, little princess, the world of the slums is too early for you."

Nagini: ...

"What happened next?" Mori Yuesha didn't care.

Matilda shook her head: "Then... he talked to me."

Nagini glanced at Matilda, hesitant, "He has an abdominal injury, and the smell of blood is very strong. The injury may be very serious...Matilda." She was hesitating whether to get involved in the increasingly troublesome matter. She was just a maid and could not make decisions for Mori Yuesha.

That's it. Since Mori Yuesha likes Matilda, just take her away. I can kill those humans when I pass by. It won't take a few minutes.

Mori Yuesa pushed Matilda away with her head and occupied the peephole on the door alone: ​​"Let me see...Huh? He seems to have noticed that we are looking at him."

The man at the door was cautiously tugging at his coat.

Under the long black woolen windbreaker, a silenced pistol was pointed at the position where three people were standing behind the door.

He looked into the peephole and Mori Tsukisa looked at him.

Chapter 22 Professional Scavenger

"So, you think this man who pointed a gun at us, with standard movements and keen perception."

"Is he a special professional who hangs around with older women?"

Matilda brushed her hair awkwardly: "Special occupations can have many..."

"Don't be stubborn." Mori Yuesha pushed the two people away and opened the door generously.

The three women met the man.

He held the gun and silently looked at Mori Yuesa and Nagini, and then his gaze stayed on Matilda for a long time - his voice was low and powerful, as if he was speaking in a jar.

“Your family is dead,” he said.

"I know. I'll go knock on your door."

"I wasn't there that day."

“They saved me.”

The man nodded to show that he understood, carefully put away the pistol, and went to the next door again carrying the suitcase.

"You're injured, sir." Matilda gritted her teeth and walked out of the house. She looked at the series of bloodstains and footprints and said quickly: "I'll clean the corridor - do you need a hemostatic bandage? I can buy it for you - were you hit by a bullet?"

Mori Yuesha leaned in Nagini's arms, and the two of them whispered in each other's ears.

She didn't understand why Matilda was so enthusiastic all of a sudden.

"Because he was the only one who asked her."

"what?"

Bruises and bloodstains often appeared on Matilda's body, but no one had ever asked her about this in her short life of more than a decade.

No one cared about her.

That day, the man asked.

"that's it?"

Mori Yuesha still didn't understand. It was true that it was too difficult for her to understand these subtle feelings. For this princess who was a bit careless and his beloved, he would just rush over and get the things he liked.

It is difficult for her to understand the subtlety and delicacy of the heart of a girl who grew up in the black and gray areas since birth due to the tragic childhood. Even though Mori Yuesha's childhood was not smooth, but...

She doesn't care, she's different from everyone else.

Nagini's thoughts drifted further and further away until her palms suddenly felt itchy and painful.

With her head down, Mori Yuesa was grinning. She gently poked Nagini's knuckles with her teeth and licked her twice with her tongue.

"Nagini, go help him."

"Owner?"

Nagini thought Mori Yuesa was too lazy to take care of such trivial matters.

"Justice Sasa will not stand up to injustice——"

"Yeah, these past two days have been too boring, right?"

"Yeah." Mori Yuesa nodded honestly.

Nagini patted her head and walked out of the house, interrupting the silent gaze between the old man and the little girl.

"Sir, come in. Since you are Matilda's friend, I can help you treat your injuries - you should also understand that this level of injury cannot be delayed any longer."

The man seemed to want to ask more questions. To be on the safe side, he had already put his right hand on the gun. Unfortunately, the dizziness and weakness caused by excessive blood loss made it impossible for him to make accurate judgments like usual.

He hesitated, lowering his chin.

"I'll leave when I'm healed."

He knew what kind of family lived in a place like this, a woman of voluptuous stature and a child alone—her occupation was as clear as an ant on a blank sheet of paper.

Then it's normal that she would sew up the wound.

After all, some guests' hobbies are not so popular, and the women who receive them have no choice. Over time, they have to learn some tips on dealing with injuries.

He dragged himself into the room with the same expression on his face that Matilda had had yesterday.

Horrified and unbelievable.

Matilda snickered and took his hand, helping him put the suitcase on the ground. "Great home, right? I couldn't believe it yesterday. Sir, welcome to the wonderland of the forest witch."

The man took off his hat and sunglasses, and his short hair was as ordinary as his face. After Nagini forced him to take off his coat, the shirt on his abdomen had already stuck to the wound.

"You are very strong." He suddenly blurted out this sentence, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nagini hung up her coat and casually replied, "That's true for humans."

Matilda was embarrassed as she helped the man walk into the house, explaining as she walked: "They are very nice people, but they are a little boastful. Sir, you won't cause any trouble for them, will you?"

In another room, lie down, and the maid magically produces a bunch of surgical instruments.

Suture and wrap with gauze.

After everything was ready, the man heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense spirit.

"Thank you..." He looked at Nagini: "My name is Leon."

"Nagini, Mori Yuesha." Nagini said, and then pointed at Matilda: "Matilda."

The atmosphere returned to its original silence. Matilda disappeared for a while while Nagini was stitching. At this time, she ran over and looked at Leon with an excited look on her face.

"I found it!"

The girl's light brown eyes were filled with hope and desire: "I saw what's in your bag."

"It's rude to rummage through other people's things."

"Yes sorry, but I saw it." Matilda looked a little excited.

The suitcase contained magazines and well-maintained guns, a bottle of gun oil, yellow bullets, and small metal parts whose functions Matilda was not quite sure.

Lyon's profession is obvious.

The man looked at Matilda without hiding anything: "I am the 'scavenger'."

"Scavenger?"

"The one who cleans up the mess."

"So you're hired?"

“I don’t kill children and women.”

This was an incompetent killer, it seemed. Nagini had been a non-human being since birth, so she couldn't judge a man's skills by his body shape and the way he talked.

The maid was thinking, and Matilda asked again, "How much does it cost to help me kill those bastards?"

Leon said nothing.

"how much is it?"

Matilda kept asking. She had decided not to involve Mori Tsukisa and Nagini, so she needed someone who could help her complete her "revenge". Obviously, Leon came at the right time.

Leon felt a little uncomfortable under the girl's eager gaze. He turned his head slightly and told her: "5000 per head."

"Wow..." Matilda sighed softly, and in an instant she had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

——Sister Mori Yuesha and Nagini are rich people, they cannot be involved.

Can I borrow money from them?

They saved me...

——Those people, those people need at least tens of thousands of dollars...

——They are rich people, but...

——It shouldn’t be tens of thousands of dollars, right? They must have run away without telling their families, right?

--what do I do?

The little girl's face was gloomy and uncertain. Mori Yuesa squeezed into Nagini's arms and laughed hahahaha non-stop.

really interesting.

Sure enough, there is a reason why Sister Guangzi asked me to come here.

Chapter 23 Father's Ordinary Life

In the end, Matilda was unable to bring herself to ask Mori Yuesha for money.

She came up with an extremely stupid idea.

"I work for you and you teach me the 'scavenger' technique, how about that? I can wash your clothes and do your shopping for you. I can take care of everything in your life. You just need to teach me, teach me - you will get a partner, I will listen to you and won't talk too much. Is that okay?"

Leon refused with a blank face.

"No."

With his hooked nose and narrow eyes, the serious man was a little difficult to approach. He decisively rejected all of Matilda's "exchange conditions". In his opinion, the child had just suffered a great deal, and all her decisions now were irrational and impulsive.

Just because he is a rat in the gutter doesn't mean he likes to drag other people who deserve to have a chance to bask in the sunshine into this industry with no tomorrow.

"You can live a good life." Leon turned his head towards Mori Yuesha. He could see it from what he had just seen: this room, everything here is centered around whom.
