The alluring madam took a step forward, blocking the woman, and said with a compensatory smile, "What happened today was unexpected. Please forgive us."
The woman, seeing she couldn’t leave, slowly put down the body, her breathing gradually becoming rapid, "You tell me, how should I forgive?"
"Your daughter voluntarily worked at the Eternal Night. This is considered a workplace injury, no need to make it a big issue. Brother Xing is a professional scavenger, a Fourth Level warrior. Even if you run and smash your head at the town’s government door, Brother Xing wouldn’t be exiled; at most, he’d just get a warning. You should understand that. Brother Xing can compensate you 80 points for the injury because he himself is a shareholder of the Eternal Night. That’s all, otherwise, not a penny would be given. You take the money, you can at least have a better life ahead. It’s better than getting nothing and offending people for free, right?"
In the end, the old woman handed the body to the cleaners, then staggered away step by step.
The moment she accepted the money, the matter was settled.
Just like those old people boarding the suicide buses of the Mengdu Group at life’s end, every scavenger in Starfire Town had their life priced at birth.
After the matter was settled, Xing Ming turned around and saw Ren Zhong.
He also recognized this new recruit member whom the captain had highly favored recently.
It was said the captain even gave him a startup fund of 5000 points. Xing Ming was a mix of envy, jealousy, and apprehension, all tangled and complex, surprised to bump into him here.
Ren Zhong slightly smiled, greeting, "Brother Xing, what’s going on?"
Seeing the other initiating a conversation, Xing Ming got interested as well, "Oh, don’t even mention it, bad luck."
After Xing Ming explained, Ren Zhong understood the whole story.
Initially, when he rescued the girl, he intended to take her to Sun Miao’s to buy a bottle of healing medicine, as it wasn’t expensive anyway.
But later Ren Zhong saw her father was dead, and her mother hurriedly took her away. That thought in Ren Zhong’s heart just faded away.
Days passed, and the situation changed again.
Because the father, who was a scavenger, died, the family lost its main labor force and incurred some debts while failing to treat the father.
The mother and daughter’s life gradually collapsed.
Although they could still eat using the contribution points earned by wearing wrist watches while sleeping, their house was to be taken away.
She hesitated a bit, decided to sell herself at the Eternal Night for a good price.
Xing Ming happened to run into it, and brought these two scoundrels for a fresh experience, and this is how it ended.
"Damn, it was novel, but her body was too frail for the ordeal. First spent 40 and didn’t even enjoy it, now I even have to pay compensation, damn, it bothers me to no end."
Xing Ming complained.
Ren Zhong laughed, "Seems like Brother Xing knows how to have fun. Learn a lesson from your mistakes."
"Forget it, it’s not that big of a deal. By the way, Ren Zhong, are you done enjoying yourself and heading back? Otherwise, I could call a couple of girls for you to play?"
Ren Zhong smiled and shook his head, "No need to bother, I have a friend waiting inside, I just came out for some fresh air because it’s too noisy inside."
"Alright then, I won’t be hosting you, I’ll go in first to blow off some steam. You have fun yourself."
"Yeah, see you later."
Five minutes after Xing Ming went in, Ren Zhong turned back and headed straight to Wang Zhaofu’s private room.
Fatty Wang, who was battling in the private room, was yanked off the couch by Ren Zhong.
Though a bit frustrated, seeing Ren Zhong’s serious look, he didn’t kill the mood, put on a coat, shooed everyone out, then scratching his messy hair, asked breathlessly, "Brother Ren, this ambush of yours is gonna make me sick. Spill it, what’s up?"
"Brother Wang, I changed my mind. I want to move up the delivery date for the goods I ordered two days ago to seven days from now. Also, I want to add another item."
"I want something fierce, really fierce."
"Contraband. Can you provide it?"
"That depends on the level of contraband. But since Brother Ren has asked, I can’t not try to figure something out. Speak."
Ten minutes later, Ren Zhong walked out of the Eternal Night.
He didn’t expect to run into Ou Youning on his way out.
Ou Youning’s face was grim at this moment, only to slightly improve upon seeing Ren Zhong, forcing a smile, "Brother Ren, didn’t you say you were going back?"
Ren Zhong: "I went back to use the restroom and relieve myself."
The two walked side by side, chatting casually.
Ou Youning sighed, "Ah, I just heard something. A girl died in the bar today."
Ou Youning: "That dog Xing Ming! Damn scum. I really want to kill him. Damn!"
