Chapter 173 When the dove of peace streaks across the sky 15

Tommy didn't have much idea at first, but after casting a cold glance at the little boy, he was ready to leave.

But the boy seemed to regard them as ferocious beasts. As soon as he came face to face with them, he hurriedly retreated.

This behavior touched Tommy's nerves and made him feel even more angry.

He immediately obeyed his heart and shouted to the other party in a rough voice: "Hey, that kid, stop for me!"

When the boy heard the shout behind him, he wanted to pretend he didn't hear it and just kept his head down and ran forward.

However, he dared not.

The long-term experience of being bullied in a foreign country gave him a poor conditioned reflex. Almost as soon as Tommy opened his mouth, his feet were stuck in place.

Can't go any further.

"Turn around, you fool." Tommy said impatiently.

He wanted to rush over and grab the person, but he was unwilling to touch the body of a person whose skin color was not his own, so he had to compromise and give the order.

How old he was to bully a child for no reason. Ling Liang felt ashamed of Tommy.

He immediately stopped him and said: "Tommy, don't forget, you and I have to return to the base before dark. Don't waste time on unnecessary things. I think we should hurry up."

Tommy turned a deaf ear and continued to do his own thing. He even raised his voice deliberately, determined to make things difficult for the boy.

The boy hesitated for two seconds, then slowly turned around.

He didn't dare to look up at anyone, his head was lowered, his hands were tightly pressed against the seam of his trousers, and his body was still trembling slightly.

Tommy yelled at the boy again to raise his face.

He had a flat nose, thick lips, and really big eyes, which were different from what he knew. His skin was darker, but overall it was still yellow.

Sure enough, Tommy thought, Asians look so repulsive.

His eyes scanned the boy's shabby clothes inch by inch, and finally settled on the surprisingly large pair of slippers.

Tommy instantly thought of a good way to tease people.

He smiled and stretched out one foot. The leather shoes on his feet, which were carefully made of fine leather, were stained with dust.

The boy didn't understand what he meant at first, and just looked at him in surprise and confusion.

Until Tommy cleared his throat, brewed up a mouthful of spit, and spat on the shoes accurately. Then he raised his arm and called him like a dog: "Come here and clean my shoes for me."

Only then did the boy realize Tommy's purpose belatedly.

——Nothing else, just deliberately insulting him.

His face turned pale immediately, but because of his dark complexion, it was not easily noticeable.

The boy trembled his lips and tried to defend himself, "No, no, sir, you have to know that I don't specialize in shining shoes for others."

He was trying to preserve what little dignity he had left in the country.

Tommy saw the boy's intentions, but instead of eliciting any sympathy from him, it only made him become more aggressive.

He smiled coldly, took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a five-pound note, waved it in front of the boy, "See, come here and clean my shoes, they will be yours."

Ling Liang couldn't help but frown deeply, and was about to do something to stop Tommy's arrogance, but at this moment, the boy's full attention was already focused on the note.

His originally dull eyes became dark and bright.

Before Ling Liang could drag Tommy away, a kid who looked like he was only eight or nine years old pounced on him.

He wiped Tommy's leather shoes diligently with his sleeve, and soon the dust and saliva were wiped off.

The boy changed his sleeve and continued to polish Tommy's other shoe.

He was so serious that the five pounds Tommy showed him were the world.

Ling Liang didn't know what to say. In this era, it doesn't seem to be such a shameful thing to lose self-respect for the sake of money.

People always have to find a way to survive first, and then they have the opportunity to talk about other things.

As he watched silently, Tommy's leather shoes gradually became shiny.

The boy finally straightened up, stood in front of Tommy with his hands hanging down, stared at the banknote longingly, and timidly said: "Sir, you promised me..."

"Promise you what?"

Tommy raised the corners of his mouth, looked at the boy mockingly, stuffed the banknotes back, and was about to put the wallet into his pocket.

That's right, he never thought about fulfilling his promise from beginning to end. Oh, no, is that a promise?

It was obvious that this yellow-skinned boy was greedy, but he believed it casually, hahaha, how could someone be so stupid!

When Tommy saw the boy's unbelievable look, he felt the depression in his chest miraculously disappear, and his mood couldn't be better.

However, as soon as the cheerful smile appeared on his face, he felt a strong pain in his wrist.

It turned out that Elton grabbed his hand and refused to let him take back his wallet.

"Elton, what are you doing?" Tommy asked angrily.

"It's five pounds for a shoe polish, didn't you say that yourself? I heard it clearly from the side. Tommy, it's not a good habit to default on your debt. It's time for you to pay." Ling Liang looked at him calmly. said.
