the broken higgs

An orange fire was beating in the tall fireplace.

Above the fireplace is a true-to-scale mural, in which two people of about the same stature sit casually facing each other.They stared at each other, their diamond eyes sparkling sharply, their lips smiling with sadness.

They all have short hair like black velvet, and the shorter one wears a metallic black mask, which covers half of his face—but just by looking at this half of his face, one can know how big this face is. charming.

The person on the opposite side stretched out his slender hand towards him, but it seemed that he was caught by an unknown force before the caress arrived... His fingers curled up in mid-air, leaving a shallow arc mark on his sleeve, a A small regret.

The mask can be taken off, but Zoe has never been interested in that. As for which ancestor left this highly infectious work of art, he has no interest in knowing.

But now, he felt that the person in this oil painting could overlap with someone in reality, looking back at Higgs, Zoe got up and went to the direction of the oil painting.

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" He muttered the little doubt in his heart.

But as if he had pinched the time, Ruixi knocked on the door as soon as his fingertips touched the oil painting.

"May I come in, sir?"

Zooey paused for a moment, and smiled mockingly, "Come in."

"It's still about Peter." Ruixi glanced at Higgs after entering, "Is that him?"

"Hmm." Zooey leaned against the tall snow-white Roman column, and set her eyes on the document in Ruixi's hand.

"This," Ruixi handed the document to Zooey, "this document contains the information of Peter and Bert Garrett."

Flipping through many relevant but irrelevant investigation materials, Zoe pondered, "Only these?"

"Yes, I can't find any more."

"It might be over there." Zooey seemed to be thinking about it, not even noticing the black shadow behind her.

Ruixi suddenly became vigilant, "If that's the case, are you considering removing him from membership?"

"What will happen?" Zooey sneered, "Let's see the seriousness of this problem, even the ones over there can't do anything."

"But master, it's better to be cautious in everything." After all, Ruixi is a veteran, and some things can be known by just looking at the clues.

"Besides, there is no such person in the Gerrett family."

"Yeah." Zooey stroked her smooth forehead, and switched her slender legs to the other side to support her body. "Go and investigate again and dig him out."

"Yes, sir."

But the moment Ruixi turned around, he saw a leopard-like figure pounced on Zooey!Before he could blurt out his exclamation, he saw Zoe dodge lightly, and that person hit the ground like an arrow that suddenly lost its direction!

"Hmm..." Higgs snorted, all perception was replaced by a strange paralysis.

Zoe grabbed the short hair on top of his head and forced him to look up at herself, "What a disobedient slave! How much pain do you have to suffer to understand your position?"

Higgs was covered in scars, and the wounds in some places couldn't close at all. They were turning white and blue, but Higgs didn't pay attention at all. His bared mouth gave people the illusion that sharp teeth were shining.

"What is supporting you?" Zooey pulled his head up vigorously in order to better see the expression on Higgs's face, revealing his sexy and smooth neck line.

"What is it?"

There was no reflection in Higgs' dark eyes. He looked straight at Zoe, and a contemptuous smile gradually rose from the corner of his mouth, "You are very funny."

"Are you working hard so that you don't act inferior to me?"

"Is it hard work?"

This out-of-the-box figure becomes an annoyance-inducing crisis.

Zooey waved her hand back, "Ruixi, you go out first."

"Yes."

Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Zooey lowered her neck and brought her handsome and deep face closer to Higgs, "I don't think you are a qualified slave."

This highly suggestive words made Higgs' body start to tremble.

He wasn't afraid of what would happen to Zooey, but the damn thing was—his body started to be afraid!

damn it!

There were few and bewildering marks on his usually cold face.

"Are you trying to deny the fact that you are a slave?"

Zooey stroked her well-maintained hands leisurely, like a predator with smooth fur, licking her paws leisurely.

"Crappie!"

Higgs looked at this aristocratic bedroom, feeling even more disgusted.

When he was a child, he was on the dirty and messy earth, and when he grew up, he was in that cramped and depressing space station. How has he ever been to such a place?

"As you please, it may be difficult for you to change your mind for a while... However, I can consider giving you a loose policy."

Zooey stood up casually after glancing at him, and sat on the soft high-back sofa.The strong and powerful long arms rest domineeringly and casually on the back of the chair.

Higgs frowned unhappily, and it was that seductive tone again, with a bit of a discussion tone, which was easy to get hooked.

Higgs turned his head coldly, not giving him a good look.

"Don't you have any interest in this easing policy?" Zooey looked at Higgs and smiled so that it made people feel hairy.

"No need. Because I am a free person." Higgs didn't swear this time, and his black eyes were shining sharply.

"That's good! I can give you another plan, what do you think?" Zoe's identification of Higgs' personality is almost the same. He is very satisfied with Higgs's coldness and sensitivity-although this is not It gave him quite a headache.

"..."

"You can reserve your opinion, I'll tell you."

He looked at Higgs, his fingertips were dancing on the back of the chair like playing a piano, "If you can defeat this person...you can get a lot of rewards, and you can redeem yourself. How about it?"

Zoe found a photo from a pile of documents on the opposite side and threw it in front of Higgs.In the photo, a man with a strong body and fierce eyes was practicing sweeping and kicking iron pillars.His tall western physique and protruding veins made him look particularly hideous.

Higgs didn't react as quickly as usual, he waited for Zooey's next words.

"I know what you mean," Zoe said in a "persuading" tone, "you are free, but you let the traffickers take a fancy to you, and they sold you to me, if I think you are free , who will pay for me?"

"If you can win the money to redeem yourself, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

This sentence is full of rationality and has the color of agnosticism

Then, what about the torture that was imposed on him later?Higgs clenched his shadowy fist in the darkness.

"Your calculation is very good. However, do you think I will agree?"

"I guess..." Zoe

However, freedom is the most important thing, and only after he is free, can these accounts be settled with him one by one!

"make a deal."

Higgs sat up slowly, in the mural-like pose.

"I will maintain an equal relationship with you from now on. Otherwise, go to hell together!"

"no problem."

Zooey lowered her eyelashes, and a smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth.
