Urban Sims

Chapter 593
three days later.

Around nine o'clock in the morning.

The east entrance of Hongmopan Street.

Zhou Ming saw the boy who seemed to be waiting here for a long time.

But the boy was much messier than the last time he saw him.

Not only were the clothes torn and tattered, but there were bruises and scars all over his face and arms, as if he had been violently beaten.

His mental state was not as alert and optimistic as before, but instead he was terrified and dazed.

"Hey, what's the matter with you? What's the matter with your wound?"

Zhou Ming approached him and asked, what happened to this boy?
"Mr. is that you?"

Seeing Zhou Ming, Henry was both surprised and delighted, then knelt down in front of him with a "plop", grabbed his trouser legs and cried, "Sir, save my sister, please help my sister!" Sister!"

"Your sister?"

Zhou Ming frowned and said, "Don't cry, get up first and tell me about the situation."

"Yes, yes sir!"

Henry stood up, and told the situation to Mr. Magician.

It turned out that after making an appointment with Zhou Ming that day, Henry was at home, nervously preparing for the written test and interview. Unexpectedly, disaster fell from heaven, and the Blood Ax Gang, which controlled the slum area, rushed into their house and took away his Sister Lina.

"Why did they arrest your sister? You owe them money?" Zhou Ming asked.

"No, we have never borrowed money from anyone. No matter how poor we are, we will never borrow money. My father once told us that people who borrow money will never recover." Henry said.

"Then why did they arrest your sister?"

"They said they would introduce a job to my sister, a job that can make a lot of money with one leg!"

"Oh~"

Zhou Ming understood in no time that the so-called Blood Ax Gang captured Henry's sister because they wanted her to work as a butcher.

In addition, the law and order in the slums is chaotic. In broad daylight, crimes are happening everywhere. Kidnapping, robbery and theft are commonplace, and the city security team doesn't care much. Unless you have a lot of money, no one will stand up for you. .

Henry was single and weak, and he couldn't afford much money, and no one dared to offend the Blood Ax Gang for him. He charged twice by himself and was almost beaten to death by the Blood Ax Gang.

After trying his best to declare it invalid, Henry remembered the noble magician he met.

"You want me to help you, save your sister?"

Zhou Ming asked, it seems that this young man named Henry treated him as the last straw.

"Hmm ~ honorable sir, please help me, please help me!" Henry knelt down again.

"I helped you, what can you give me in return?" Zhou Ming asked with a frown.

"I can give you whatever you want, including my life, my everything, as long as you can save my sister, she is my only relative in this world!"

Henry kowtowed and begged, tears also fell.

These performances of the young man made Zhou Ming nod secretly.

"Get up, I can help save your sister."

Zhou Ming's words made the young man ecstatic, and he kowtowed again and again: "Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

……

After half an hour.

The slums in the west of the city.

Zhou Ming, and a small group of patrolling security forces, led by Henry, entered the territory of the Blood Ax Gang.

The captain of the patrol security team was named Simon, and he was in charge of ten soldiers. When Zhou Ming took out a bag of 100 gold coins and hoped that Captain Simon could do a little favor, he readily agreed. On the one hand, 100 gold coins are quite a lot. On the other hand, it was something many people could only wish for if the magician could owe him a favor.

The same goes for the ten soldiers.

"Master Leylin, Sir Simon, this is the place!"

Henry stopped and pointed to the largest building in the slum in front of him. At this moment, he was full of confidence.

"Crush~"

Captain Simon drew out the sword at his waist, and said to the subordinates behind him: "Brothers, hit me!"

"Crack ~" "Crush ~" "Crush ~" "Crush ~"

Pulling out heavy swords one after another, ten security guards in full armor rushed towards the headquarters of the Blood Ax Gang.

"Boom~"

"boom!"

The gate was shattered, and the soldiers who rushed into the building smashed like wolves and tigers.

"what!"

"what!"

There were two younger brothers who were guarding the goal, and they were directly chopped into serious injuries.

Gang leader Rick, member Andri and others who were gambling in the house were taken aback. Faced with these vicious and uninvited guests, they thought that other gangs were coming to seize the territory.

But after seeing the security captain Simon who had been beaten many times, Henry who had been beaten twice, and a young man dressed as a mage, their hearts were even more shocked.

"Captain Simon, gentlemen, what is the purpose of coming to the Blood Ax Gang?"

Rick asked with a flattering smile.

"Quickly release my sister, release my sister!"

Henry jumped in front of Rick, clenched his fists, and said with hatred.

Seeing Henry, Rick's eyelids twitched, and he regretted a lot. Why didn't he focus on yesterday and beat the kid to death?In the end, I didn't expect this kid to bring so many rescuers who couldn't be offended.

But in his mouth he denied it flatly: "Your sister? What happened to your sister? Did something happen? Can we help?"

Rick began to play dumb and dumbfounded.

"That's enough Rick, there are hundreds of beggars in this slum, all hands and feet are maimed by your blood ax gang, and there are hundreds of prostitutes in the brothel, these crimes are enough to kill you ten times, I just say it once , Let the child's sister go quickly."

Captain Simon said with a sullen face, he has received a lot of tribute from the Blood Ax Gang, and he knows the gang well.

Andri on the side asked his subordinates to collect all the money on the gaming table, put it in a bag, and then handed it to Captain Simon, saying: "Master Simon, this is a little care, we really didn't kidnap his sister, don't believe it You can search here."

"My sister was kidnapped by you bastard!"

Henry's eyes were red, he threw himself on Andre, and bit his leg hard.

"Ah! Let go, little guy!"

Andri screamed and shook Henry a few times before he was thrown away.

Simon shook the money bag in his hand and counted it secretly. There were about 50 gold coins in it, which was enough for him and his subordinates to eat and drink several times... He didn't plan to return the money.

Still, man, he still has to help Mr. Mage get it back.

Simon shook his head, looked at Zhou Ming, and said to Rick: "This lord is a friend of little Henry, and he is a distinguished mage. You should get to know him better."

Rick looked at Zhou Ming, and saw that he was wearing a robe made of high-grade fabrics, wearing an apprentice mage badge on his chest, and holding a staff in his hand... This attire is undoubtedly a mage.

"Mr. mage, I don't know your...your name?" He asked Zhou Ming flatteringly.

"Release him immediately within 5 minutes!" Zhou Ming didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly issued an ultimatum.

"This..." Rick hesitated.

"Four minutes left." Zhou Ming continued the countdown with a blank expression on his face.

"Okay... well, Andri, go to Sister Bellinia, bring Lina back, and let her go!" Sister Bellinia is a professional in charge of training prostitutes. Doing the ideological work of those young girls, spreading the truth that "it is easier to make money lying down"... To put it bluntly, it is brainwashing.

"This……"

Andrea looked embarrassed. Aunt Bellinia told him that although Lina was thin and thin, she was the rare best in a hundred years!As long as her body is recuperated, she must be a radiant beauty, and the guests will go crazy for her.

As for gold coins, they must be earned in the thousands!

Now the boss says to let Lina go?
"Boss, Lina is our cash cow!"

Andri said with a look of resignation.

"But that is the mage, the mage we can't afford to offend." Rick emphasized: "Quickly release Lina."

"no no!!"

Andri shook his head again and again, and suddenly pointed at Zhou Ming: "You are not a mage, you are a counterfeit, a noble mage, how can you stand up for this kind of untouchables in the slums?"

"Fake! You must be a fake!"

Andri pointed at Zhou Ming and yelled, he was very sure in his heart that the mage blocking his way of making money must be a fake!

"Wind Pillar!"

A word popped out of Zhou Ming's mouth, a whirlwind suddenly blew up from the top of the buff staff, and he pointed at Andri's chest!
"Huh~"

A wind column like a rotating drill drilled into Andri's chest like a tornado!
"Pfft~"

Andri stopped clamoring, and a fist-sized hole appeared in his heart, running through the front and back... You can see the heart with the hole inside.

"Are you really...a...mage?"

After speaking, Andri opened his eyes wide and fell down.

"Noisy!" Zhou Ming snorted coldly.

"Let them go, let them go right away!" The boss Rick was taken aback, and immediately ordered another subordinate to bring Lina back.

……

This afternoon.

Henry saw his sister, and the two siblings hugged each other and cried for a while.

Zhou Ming thanked Captain Simon and said that when he was free that day, he would definitely treat them to a meal.

Simon and the others didn't even say no, it was their honor to be able to serve the honorable mage... They had seen Zhou Ming's strength, not to mention that the mage released magic in an instant, and the power was astonishing.

Henry's house.

In a low, dilapidated room.

Zhou Ming frowned. This kind of living environment is really bad.

However, there were more than a dozen books neatly stacked in the bedside cabinet, which made Zhou Ming confirm that Little Henry was indeed literate.

So he said to the siblings in front of him:

"Henry, I have some bad news for you. Since you missed today's written test interview,...you don't have a second chance."

"what!"

Henry was shocked all over, and his face became pale.

"Henry, why did you save my sister? As long as you can become the assistant of the mage, it doesn't matter if my sister dies, you..."

Lina's tone was full of tears, her brother had such a good future, but it was gone just like that.

"It's okay for my sister, it's really okay! I can lose anything, but I can't lose my sister!"

Henry also cried, holding his sister and crying.

"The good news is, Henry, you have been accepted by me. I need an assistant, and you are just right."

Zhou Ming's voice came from next to his ear.

what?
Both siblings were stunned, and Henry's face was even more unbelievable. He looked at Zhou Ming and said, "Sir, do you want me to be your assistant?"

"Yes, are you willing?" Zhou Ming nodded.

"I do! I do!"

Henry jumped up excitedly, while his sister Lina bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.

Zhou Ming scanned the indoor environment again, and saw that there were many clothes waiting to be mended, a coal stove and a set of kitchen utensils for cooking, so he asked Lina: "Hey, Lina, what do you know? What?"

Lina looked at him in surprise, seemed to realize something, and quickly replied: "Cooking, mending, cleaning, I know a little bit of everything."

Zhou Ming nodded: "Exactly, I still need a servant."

He said to the surprised Lina: "Pack up your things, both of you, move to my place."

Zhou Ming accepted this pair of siblings, not because of his madness, but because of his character. Henry would rather give up the interview opportunity to save his sister. The initial persistence... He was amazed by the qualities of the siblings.

Accepting them is purely out of appreciation.

……

In the evening, after picking them up for a while, under the watchful eyes of many men and women in the slum, Zhou Ming took Henry and Lina and left the slum.

A few years later, legends about the siblings were widely circulated in the slums in this area.

　I hope everyone will not be impetuous. Any story has details and foreshadowing. The outline flow is fast, but the detailed plot is more evocative.
