Chapter 81

"Sounds good. I'll take these then."

As Masters had said, he needed an agent like the snake to deal with the loot.

But all this had to be built on his success in retaliating against the Parkland plutocrats.

However, Mast's words gave him a bit of enlightenment. He was like a mercenary who was giving out quests to earn money. He didn't know when he would be able to earn the start-up funds for his revival plan.

Zero even considered taking revenge on Parkland, using the money it got to build its own company.

For the time being, the war between the countries was out of the question, but the war between the companies was actually going to work.

Companies are far from being friendly with each other in the turbulent years.

"Wait a minute, I have a little gift for you, on account of our oral agreement."

"A gift?"

Zero looked at Masters quizzically, unable to think of anything else he wanted to give him.

Masters called one of his men, and soon after, Monnie was brought in.

In Monnie's case, he seemed to have promised to protect her until she was eighteen, and to teach her the skills of the wild.

It was just that after the Sauron incident, Zero had been too busy adapting his new ability to see Monnie.

Masters pushed Monnie to the zero and smiled. "From now on, this girl is yours."

At his side, Masters shook his head and raised his hand in surrender. "All right, Monnie came to see me in private."

I hope I can get her out of Johnson. She told me you were willing to be her protector.

It's good, but that doesn't mean you can take her away with you.

The wilderness has its rules. Monnie belongs to Johnson.

The goods, even if you buy her with a sum of money, will have to be sold in Chanson.

"Here, no one can take her away by force except me, so she came to beg me, at the cost of her body."

Zero's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Don't be like that, brother."

Masters laughed. "We're partners, and I'm not so superficial as to break up our relationship for a young girl."

Don't worry, I didn't touch a hair on Monnie. You can take her with you.

And I promise Johnson won't bother you, because he's already killed for me. "

"This is the first law of the wilderness, whoever's fist is bigger is the boss, other rules are useless in front of power."

Masters ended the evening with a statement characteristic of the wilderness.

Zero nodded, took Monnie's hand and left the bar.

One of Masters' subordinates whispered, "Leader, do we need to be so polite to a mercenary?"

Masters chewed on his cigar and said, "Who can make the Dark Council spit out what they've got, and who can make me so polite, you understand?"

The streets under the night sky were very quiet. Occasionally, only a few passersby would be allowed to pass by.

Lingcun and Monnie walked down the street, and since they left the tavern, Mony was strangely quiet.

She was wearing a black windbreaker today, accentuating the girl's silver hair.

This head of silver hair was as beautiful as a galaxy in the night sky of the old era.

There was a bit of blood on the hat on the windbreaker. Monnie must have been there when Masters killed Johnson.

If a girl of twelve or thirteen had seen a man killed in the old days, she would have been terrified.

But now, even a child as big as Monnie was much stronger.

After all, in this era of natural selection, if one's will was not strong enough, they would have long been abandoned by the era.

But there wasn't even the slightest bit of fear under that delicate body?

The girl's small hands, clutching the hem of her dress, were so pale.

He sighed, put his hand on Monnie's small shoulder, and leaned her against him.

Monnie instinctively wrapped her arms around the zero, and then her body began to tremble involuntarily.

The pair of sea-blue pupils were also suffused with the smell of water.

But she didn't cry. She was stronger than she'd ever imagined.

It was just that in this situation, crying might be a good thing.

In the end, Monnie didn't cry. When she reached Victor's office, she let go of Zero and gave him a sweet smile. "Thank you, Zero."

I thought you didn't want to take me with you.

"What I promised, I will do."

Zero added, "It's just that the place I'm going to will be very dangerous. You …"

"I want to go!"

Monien said firmly, "What part of the world is safe?"

Zero could not answer the question.

As he led Monnie into the clinic, Victor whistled and gave Zero an ambiguous look.

Zero wanted to punch him. Did he look like a womanizer?

Monnie politely asked Victor where the bathroom was, then said to Zero, "I'll go get you some water."

After that, the little girl went straight to the second floor.

Following that came a cry from Monnie upstairs, and then Lara's voice.

Monnie let out a little laugh, and she liked the round, rotund tug very much, too.

"What a nice boy, isn't it?"

Victor handed him a cigarette and said, "But this dog shit era made a child like this a virgin."

"If this era can be pulled out and shot, I will be the first to shoot it."

Zero pointed to himself and said, "If there's such a good thing, I won't give it to you."

Victor laughed and said, "Does she want to go with you?"

At midnight.

"I've heard a few things about Monnie. She and her mother came to the city seven years ago.

After living here for a while, Monnie's mother seemed to have been bought and taken away, and Monnie was bought by Johnson.

When she was nine, Monnie had to make money for Johnson.

From the age of ten, she has had to receive guests with special interests. "

"I talked to her. She's a strong child, and I hope to find her mother through my own efforts."

"It's a pity my money was used to buy Kareen, otherwise I would have redeemed her and raised her as a daughter."

Zero looked at Victor in silence, and the doctor, embarrassed by his stare, said loudly, "Why, I like my daughter. It's not like Kaelyn can't give birth."

Footsteps rang out as Monnie ran down the stairs. With a flushed face, she said to Zero, "Mister, you can take a bath now."

"Just call me Zero."

Zero is not often called sir.

Monnie nodded and ran up again.

Zero said to Victor, "Thank you for telling me all this. Now I'm beginning to understand why this kid insisted on coming with me. It's all for Mother."

Walking up the stairs, Victor said in a low voice, "Young birds always wish to return to their mothers' wings. Everyone has their own home."

Where is your destination?
