Chapter 323 Settle Down
The little girl’s words stunned Valery!
Beside her, Gerald also frowned slightly.
On this island, studying was something only for people with real power. This little girl’s family was at the very edge of the city. They were struggling to survive. What they were thinking about was how to survive. Studying was way too extravagant for them.
The two girls, Valery and Kristen, felt lumps in their throats. Valery’s cold face revealed a warm smile. She touched the little girl’s head and said, “Yes, there are schools in the outside world. Schools are full of children of your age. They live peacefully and cannot fight…”
When the little girl heard this, her eyes almost shone.
“Really? Really?” The little girl was excited. She directly pulled a chair over and leaned on it as if she had been very familiar with Valery. She said, “Miss, can you tell me more about the outside world?”
“Okay!” Valery nodded.
Gerald and the others listened aside and felt a little upset. He did not expect that in this modern society, this island was still in such a situation.
Of course, the world was like this. Every place had its own rules of survival, including every city and
every country.
Gerald let out a breath, pulled a chair, and sat down. Currently, he had no time to think about these things. He did not like this place very much. He wanted to recover his Vital Energy, find Jolie and Jacob, and leave this place as soon as possible.
Of course, according to Red Rose, Franklin was hiding in Sin City. Gerald had to find him and kill
him.
When all of this was over, Gerald would leave this place to find Perrin!
He felt that this process should not be long as long as he recovered.
The most important thing was that he would have to pass the tribulation two days later.
The news that Perrin had given him was that they would show up in Fantasy Hotel within three
days.
They arrived two days earlier. These two days were enough for them to do a lot of things.
Just as they were talking, they heard arguments in low voices.
Gerald looked over and found that the voices came from the kitchen.
“Why did you take out this piece of meat and these eggs? Didn’t we keep them for our daughter’s birthday?” This was the voice of the middle-aged man.
“Well, these people are newcomers. They have to slowly adapt to life here. You won’t let them live here. They might need to struggle for food after they have this meal. Especially the two girls. I don’t know what kind of encounters they will face. Just let them eat. I will think about other ways for our daughter’s birthday.” The middle-aged woman’s voice also came out!
Gerald was touched!
In fact, now he really felt it. The middle-aged woman was indeed kind. It was rare that someone who had lived in a place like Sin City for many years to still maintain this kindness.
The middle-aged man paused for a while before saying, “But… we have to pay the protection fee recently. Otherwise, we might be chased away. At that time, we can only leave the city and live in the nearby villages and towns…”
“It’s fine. Don’t worry. At worst, we don’t eat meat on our daughter’s birthday. We’ll save money for her next birthday,” the middle-aged woman said with a smile.
The man saw that he couldn’t convince her. He walked out of the kitchen very gloomily. He glanced at Gerald and the others unhappily, then walked to the door. He sat down and took out a fairly poor-quality cigarette. He lit it up and puffed on it twice!
Theo frowned. He rummaged through his backpack and took out a carton of cigarettes.
Theo had experience in Sin City. He knew that the cigarettes here were not good. He was a smoker, so he brought a lot of cigarettes.
After taking it out, he thought for a moment and put it back. Then he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and walked toward the door!
In Sin City, cigarettes from the outside world were quite expensive. If people found that he them a carton of cigarettes, it might cause trouble for the family.
gave
This kind of thing that was very common in the outside world was likely to be huge trouble for
ordinary people in Sin City.
“Boss, they are not bad people. We should help them if we can,” Claude took off his backpack and
said.
