Chapter 336 Acquaintance

Valery still had that cold expression on her face. When she arrived at the door, she greeted Roger and the others. Then she paid the money and said, “Install all these things in the house. Move all the mattresses to the second floor. Install one of the air conditioners on the second floor, and the other on the first floor.”

Valery commanded in an orderly manner.

Many neighbors looked over with envy and complicated emotions in their eyes, and some of them looked unfriendly.

Someone shouted, “Roger, have you become rich?”

“Good for you, Roger. They bought you so many good things!”

Roger’s family entered the house. Roger took out a cigarette and lit it up, starting to smoke. His brows furrowed.

A poor person should not have bought these things in this area. Firstly, he could not afford them. Secondly, it would make him easily targeted. It was even possible that someone would take their

house away.

The neighbor’s words did not sound like congratulations to Roger, but more like ridicule and jealousy. This made Roger a little worried.

At the same time, Roger simply calculated all the things that Valery had bought. They at least cost 20 to 30 thousand lucs. Where did Gerald and his men get so much money?

No matter what, Roger didn’t want to get involved with dangerous things.

Valery walked in and put some meat and vegetables they had bought on the table and said to Nikki, “Nikki, here are some meat and vegetables. Please make some dishes with these. I need to supervise them to install the air conditioners.”

Nikki was a simple and warm-hearted woman. She quickly said, “No problem. I didn’t expect you to buy so many things.”

Valery smiled. She pointed at a man and said, “Install this air conditioner in that room.”

She pointed at Nikki and Roger’s bedroom.

Nikki and Roger were both stunned. Nikki quickly said, “No! Just install it on the second floor. We don’t need this. We are used to it.”

Valery smiled and said, “Please accept it, Nikki.”

Roger frowned and asked, “Dr. Manning, Gerald only earned more than 4,000 lucs last night. Where did you get so much money to buy so many things?”

Valery obviously knew why he would ask this. She whispered, “We brought in some jewelry from the outside world and sold them today. You can rest assured. We are going to eat meat for every meal from now on. Jenna is growing up. We should offer her a balanced diet.”

Hearing Valery’s words, Roger calmed down a little. But when he saw the appliances installed in their room, he was still a little worried.

Gerald, on the other hand, was sitting at the side and watching happily. Occasionally, he also came to help. Now that the bedding and mattress had been changed, he could sleep much more

comfortably at the very least.

Valery also felt a sense of accomplishment.

After a while, she asked Roger, “By the way, Roger, have you heard of Dark Reapers?”

Roger put off the cigarette in his hand and said, “Dark Reapers is actually the force that is in charge of this area. They charge us protection fees. They are considered one of the largest forces in the Eastern District. They are roughly three forces in this area.”

Hearing this, Claude asked softly, “Boss, Dark Reapers sounds quite familiar. Have we met them

before?”

Gerald scratched his head and said, “I don’t know. It has been five years. Who knows? Maybe they

are just some nobody.”

“Okay.” Claude nodded and did not take it to heart.

Roger did not think much of it when he heard what Valery said. He did not think that Gerald and his men had the ability to go against Dark Reapers. Roger frowned and said, “By the way, tomorrow is the day that Dark Reapers will come to collect protection fees. They usually come in the evening, 500 lucs per person. You have six of you now, which means that you need to prepare 3,000 lucs.”

“Good,” Valery said, and then commanded them to start working again.

Gerald walked to Valery and asked, “Did you fight with someone?”
