"It would be great if we could pay it all off, but we still have to make a living. Why not take out half and open a restaurant for you?"

Hannah didn't want her brother to use all his earnings to pay off his parents' debts. She believed that he could definitely find a job. On the contrary, her brother didn't have a diploma in cooking, so it was difficult for him to find a job in this field. She might as well use the money to open a restaurant for him.

While the siblings were still discussing, the iron door was knocked.

They both looked at the door at the same time.

"I'll go open the door."

Hannah asked Locke to collect all the 30 gold and rice coins before she got up to open the door.

The black cat sat lazily on the windowsill. She thought black was a good hidden color. The servant's sister hadn't noticed her since she entered the door.

Hannah opened the door, and a brown-haired man with a scar on his face looked at Hannah with a grim smile. There were three younger brothers behind him, all of whom were tall and burly, with unfriendly faces and a sense of oppression.

Hannah frowned, "Isn't it time yet? I'll come find you, why did you come to the apartment?"

"Whether the time is up to us, we have to pay off all the debts this time. We don't have time to play house with you about paying in installments without interest."

The scarred man walked in directly and greeted Locke with a smile.

"Hey, little Locke, I heard about your deeds of beating Kai on Pate Street. Do you want to join our debt collection company? You have a bright future."

Locke glanced at him speechlessly, "Not interested."

"Haha, you have the temper of a young master. Your sister protects you too well."

The scarred man sat down on the sofa, and his younger brothers followed him in.

Hannah said angrily, "Uncle Frank clearly said that I can pay in installments, and I only need to pay 2 silver meters per month, and I don't need to pay interest!"

"Haha, Frank is retired, and what he said will be useless in the future. Now I will pay 30 gold meters."

Scarface said in an unquestionable tone, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a ferocious expression,

"Besides, you are unemployed, right?"

Hannah was stunned. She didn't expect Uncle Frank, who had been helping her, to retire so early.

"Miss Hannah, in fact, 30 gold meters is not difficult. As long as you sell yourself to the Rose Theater, you should be able to get so much with your beauty."

Scarface said with a smile, and the younger brothers around him also laughed in agreement.

Locke's brows became tighter and tighter. Since Miss Witch was present, Locke directly punched Scarface without hesitation, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.

"You!"

Everyone in the rental house was stunned, and Hannah rushed to her brother nervously.

The burly younger brothers were ready to fight, intending to avenge their big brother.

Scarface wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were three parts surprised and seven parts angry. Just when he was about to fight back, Locke suddenly took out a colorful Kimmick from his bag and stuffed it into Scarface's hand.

"The punch just now was because you insulted a wise and beautiful lady. This money is to pay off your debt. A total of 30 Kimmicks, not a penny less. Hand over the IOU, take the money and get out."

Scarface's eyes wandered between the cold eyes of Kimmick and Locke, and finally clenched the Kimmick, stuffed them into his wallet, and slammed the IOU on the table.

I have already made a preliminary judgment in my heart that it is not advisable to stay here for a long time.

This boy must have done something illegal! That's why he suddenly had such a large sum of money.

Whether it's robbing a bank or killing people, they are already red-name dangerous people.

Such people are best not to provoke.

Although he looked fierce, he was actually just doing some debt collection and bodyguard business with his brothers to make a living. He had nothing to do with illegal crimes, and he was not that ruthless.

There was no need to risk his life for the boss's debt.

Scarface stood up, without saying a word, took the money, took his brothers, and left Old Tom's apartment in a hurry.

Hannah, whose legs and feet were weak from fear, collapsed on the ground instantly. Everything she had just experienced was so unreal.

Locke tore up the IOU, walked to Hannah, and helped her up.

"Hannah, it's okay."

"Locke, money."

"You can earn money if you don't have it."

Locke helped Hannah to sit down next to the sofa.

A black cat lazily jumped down from the windowsill and slowly paced in the room, attracting Hannah's attention.

"Cat?"

"Yes, her name is Xiao Ai, and she will be a part of our family in the future."

Locke generously introduced the witch lady he raised to Hannah.

Hannah opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end.

"It's okay, life will get better, getting rid of debt is just the first step."

Locke comforted Hannah, and Hannah nodded gently, "Yes, I will."

Suddenly, Locke stood up nervously and rushed into the kitchen.

Hannah, who didn't know what was going on, looked at Locke,

"What's wrong?"

Chapter 10, "Locke, are you arguing with the cat?"

Locke rushed into the kitchen chasing the black cat, and grabbed the plate with a dive.

Unfortunately, his speed was still a little slow, and he only saved Hannah's portion of mashed potatoes, and his portion had been accepted by Miss Irene.

Irene licked the cat's paw and made a lazy cat cry, as if mocking him, just based on you, you want to compete with me in speed?

"Xiao Ai, didn't you agree to make delicious food for you tonight so that you can keep your stomach?"

Locke said in frustration.

Irene raised her round cat head and said coldly,

"Just now, in order to satisfy your voyeuristic desire, I took on the appearance of multiple women, which consumed a lot of energy and needs to be replenished."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say such misleading words! What do you mean by satisfying my peeping desire? It's obviously you who is trying to tease others!"

Locke is determined not to take the blame.

Eileen glanced at him,

"I obviously feel your emotional ups and downs. You are actually very happy when you watch it, right? Especially Hannah."

Locke didn't wait for her to finish speaking and directly covered Black Cat's mouth, fearing that his sister would hear what she said.

He didn't let go until Irene bit him.

"Why are you nervous? She can't hear what I say."

Locke retracted his hand, and a row of clear cat teeth marks appeared on his hand. He didn't know whether to get a rabies vaccine. Well, there is no such thing as a vaccine in this era.

"Locke, are you arguing with the cat?"

Outside the kitchen, Hannah asked curiously.

She could only hear Locke talking to the cat, and the cat would make a dissatisfied "meow" sound from time to time.

"No."

Locke stopped arguing with Erin and walked out of the kitchen with his sister's plate of mashed potatoes.

"Hannah, are you hungry? Come and try my newly researched dishes."

"What is this? It looks very appetizing."

Hannah found that she had just sat down at the dining table, and there was already a cat staring eagerly next to her.

The black cat's blue vertical pupils stared unblinkingly at the mashed potatoes on the dinner plate.

"This is called iris mashed potatoes. You can eat it even when it's cold. No additional heating is required."

Locke said with a smile.

Hannah nodded, scooped up a piece with a spoon and put it into her mouth. The mashed potatoes quickly melted in her mouth. The triple flavor wheel impacted the taste buds, causing the brain to produce a type of dopamine called pleasure.

Hannah's eyes lit up with excitement, "Locke, it's so delicious!"

“It tastes better when it’s hot.”

It's just that if it's hot, you still need to put money into the gas meter, and there's a high chance that Miss Irene will eat it again while it's hot.

"Locke, don't you want to eat?"

Hannah asked.

Locke shook his head, "I've already eaten."

Hannah frowned, she knew that Locke was lying.

She divided the few mashed potatoes into two portions, looked at the black cat next to her, and carefully divided her portion into two portions.

"Let's eat together."

Erin was not polite to Hannah at all, and the cat's tongue had already stuck out.

Locke sighed helplessly.

My family is already poor, but what should I do if I have to raise a greedy witch girl?

Originally, he wanted to reject Hannah's proposal, but seeing that if he didn't eat, Miss Witch would also eat his portion, and Locke could only follow his sister's arrangement and eat the mashed potatoes.

After Hannah finished eating, she felt like she still hadn't finished eating.

She reached out to touch the black cat's head, but Miss Irene dodged it.

Erin made a catwalk and jumped onto Locke's shoulders, sweeping her tail and looking arrogantly.

Hannah was not angry, but praised,

"This cat is so smart, it only seems to be close to you."

"hehe."

That's because I am her breeder.

Locke added in his heart, with an ugly smile on his lips.

He discovered a problem.

Only if he takes the initiative to feed Eileen can he gain abilities. If Eileen eats it secretly or the food given by his sister, even if it is made by himself, he will not be able to gain anything.

"Locke, don't waste your cooking skills. Next time, make some finished products and bring them to the interview. You will definitely be hired by the restaurant."

Hannah encouraged.

"good."

Locke nodded, thinking this was a good suggestion.

After a pleasant lunch, Hannah took her coat and hat and went out in a hurry.

Locke saw that she was different from usual. It seemed that after getting rid of debt completely, her steps were much lighter.

However, Locke did not go out to find a job as usual, but planned to find a way to make money from Miss Irene.

"Miss Eileen, you have also seen that my family is poor now and I have no money to buy good ingredients for cooking. Is there any way you can transform Mick?"

The black cat flicked its tail, "No."

"What if we do something like Lucy again?"

Locke thought of a way to touch the porcelain. In short, the rich woman Lucy's family was very rich.

"no."

The black cat refused ruthlessly, "I am in a weak stage now, and I have exhausted a lot to save you. Do you want me to sacrifice the souls of the people around me?"

"Forget it."

Although Locke wants to speculate, he will not do so at the expense of other people's lives.

Locke used the remaining potatoes to make potato pancakes that were golden and crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside, and planned to take them to Holmick's Restaurant for an interview.
