Chapter 134
Gina sat on the back seat of Leonard’s bicycle.
It moved quickly on the road.
If it weren’t for Gina, Leonard would have wanted to drift when turning.
“I’m so cool, Leonard thought proudly.
Unfortunately, Gina held onto the bicycle frame instead of embracing his waist, which disappointed Leonard.
However, Gina’s beauty made Leonard the center of attention on the street.
Under the admiring gaze of the people, Leonard lifted his head proudly.
“What do you think these pa**ersby are thinking?” Leonard asked.
Before Gina could answer, Leonard muttered, “I feel like we’re on the Titanic, but these people definitely think you’re Rose and I’m a dead extra.”
Gina burst into laughter.
She realized that Leonard sensed her emotions and deliberately said that. She gave him a gentle smile.
“Thank you for saving me, or I would have been in big trouble today.”
Gina suddenly said sincerely.
“As far as I know, there are no schools around the square. Why did you go there and end up being trapped by them?”
Leonard asked curiously.
“My friend asked me out, but I didn’t see her and ended up seeing Elmore and the others.”
“It seems like your friend sold you out.”
Leonard guessed.
“I know.”
Gina sounded a bit frustrated.
She was sad be betrayed by her friend.
“Elmore’s family is very powerful. I’m afraid they won’t let you off.”
Gina expressed her concern.
“Don’t worry. They can’t compare to me, no matter what kind of background they have in Newden.”
Leonard said confidently, patting his chest.
“Come on. I would believe you if you weren’t riding a bicycle. Do you think you’re the richest person in Newden?” Gina clearly didn’t believe Leonard and thought he was bragging.
“But I saved you. Aren’t you touched? How about marrying me?”
Leonard turned his head and gave Gina a smile.
“In your dreams. I’m not a seventeen or eighteen–year–old girl anymore. I’m not that easily moved!”
“Then how old are you?”
Leonard knew Gina was in a bad mood and deliberately teased her to cheer her up.
“I’m nineteen.”
Gina smiled.
As they chatted, they entered an old neighborhood.
Gina jumped off the bike seat.
“This is my house. Leonard, come in with me.”
She opened the door and entered a house.
Leonard followed her.
The house was only a little over 300 square feet.
The facilities inside were old but neatly arranged.

Some small decorations made the house feel cozy.
Gina took out a small box the size of her palm from the bedside table and handed it to Leonard. “You saved me. I don’t have anything else to give you. It was left by my grandpa. Now it’s yours.”
Leonard took the box and opened it. At the sight of the black object inside, he was puzzled..
“It’s a magical ointment.”
Gina took out a kitchen knife and cut her fair arm under Leonard’s astonished gaze. Blood gushed out at once.
“Gina, you cut the wrong part. If you want to commit suicide, you should

and
Leonard’s eyes widened.
It was magical.
“This is the power of the black ointment. It was originally the size of a palm, but my grandpa was injured while tomb raiding and used some to treat his wounds.
“I don’t have anything else to give you. Now it’s yours.”
Leonard’s eyes lit up.
If only this magical black ointment could be ma**–produced.
“You know how precious this black ointment is. Are you really giving it to me?”
“Of course, I know, but there is no formula, and it can’t be ma**–produced. Otherwise, my grandpa would have sold it a long time ago. Carry it with you. You can use it if you are hit by Elmore and the others.”
Leonard was speechless.
Gina was inconsiderate.
“I see. I’ll accept it. If I make money with it, I’ll give you thirty percent no matter how much I earn.
“I will also get rid of Elmore for you.”

“Leonard, I appreciate your kindness, but the background of Elmore and the others is really not simple…”
