After checking in, a group of 6 people walked towards the room on the second floor, which is a rectangular three-story hotel with more than 30 rooms and can accommodate up to 80 passengers, the outer wall of the hotel faces the intercontinental highway and the inner wall faces the outdoor swimming pool, so you can see the scenery on both sides at the same time by opening the windows and guest room doors.

At this time, Bruce had just finished cleaning a guest room, retreated from inside, and met Katyusha and a group of six people standing outside the door of a nearby room, ready to open the door to check in, he looked at the other party was staring at his face curiously, it seems that he should take another two days off, and wait for the scars on his face to gradually disappear before coming to work, otherwise he will be bumped into by guests, and he thought that the employees here like to fight and fight, which affects the reputation of the hotel.

He smiled awkwardly at Katyusha and the others, turned around and prepared to walk downstairs, but as soon as he reached the staircase, he saw the gangster leader leading several of his men, ghostly approaching, seeing the other party's posture, Bruce had to retreat step by step, and before he knew it, he retreated to the guests.

The gangster leader learns from his subordinates that the boss is not here today, and that Bruce is back here to work, so he and his party come to ask for the protection money that he didn't get last time.

"Don't be afraid, if you have the courage to refuse to pay protection money, you don't have the courage to face us? Could it be that you have accepted the lesson of the last time and started to learn to behave? $500 for protection, not a penny less. The gangster leader said as he went upstairs.

"I... I don't have that much in my hand right now, only $50. Bruce shuddered and took all the money he had left from his wallet and handed it to the other party.

"Damn, what about the people who ask for food?" The other man stepped forward and kicked him in the stomach. Bruce staggered backwards with a staggered center of gravity, knocking over the suitcases of the Agent Squad, but Nick was quick to reach out and pull to prevent his back from hitting the ground hard.

Seeing that someone in front of him was helping, and the other party was a few adults, if they intervened, it was estimated that they would not have good fruit to eat, so the gangster leader threw down a sentence: "Half an hour later, with 500 yuan of protection money, come to the nearby stadium to see me." If you don't dare to come, you'll have a good look in the future. As he spoke, he led his men to turn around and leave.

Looking at the gangsters in front of them and the bruises on Bruce's face, everyone had already seen the clues.

But in order to close the distance between them, Lula tentatively stepped forward and asked, "Who are they?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, I can take care of this myself." Bruce said this, but his expression betrayed him, and the panic and anxiety were seen in everyone's eyes. With that, he hurried forward and disappeared at the top of the stairs.

"Stubborn little ghost, just like you did in school back then." Olivia shrugged at Luis.

"I'm not as timid as him, and I don't dare fight back when someone attacks me. Whoever provoked me back then, I beat the other party to death, and he never let go if he didn't shout for help. Therefore, no one dares to trouble me. Louis retorted.

"So your fiery personality is the most suitable for being a demolition expert, and if it doesn't like the eye, just blow it up." Olivia teased.

"Let's help this kid, I was also very unaccustomed to those scum who bullied the weak and bullied too many people in school. It's just that I'm a girl, so it's not convenient for me to meddle in those things. Now that the situation is different, now that I have the opportunity, I really want to clean them up. Lula said.

"Anyway, I'm going to spend the night here tonight, it's still early, according to what the gangster said just now, there will be a good show in half an hour, let me meet them too, and enrich the nightlife." Nick began to gear up.

"It's enough for Lula and Nick to go, so as not to say that we are too many people and too few people to bully others. By the way, I would like to carry my greetings. Remember, they're all kids, don't scare people stupid. Hugh joked.

Lula and Nick bought two drinks and returned to the parking lot, next to the interstate, where they could clearly see the motel door, where they waited for the waiter to appear. Ten minutes later, the other party appeared in their field of vision, picked up a dilapidated bicycle parked against the wall of the motive hotel, and rode in the direction of the pre-agreed stadium.

Because he didn't have enough cash on his body, and the nearest bank teller machine was also a few kilometers away, it must be too late to rush over now, Bruce could only write an IOU to his colleagues, and he only saved 400 yuan from all over the place, what if there was still a hundred yuan left? It seems that I can only plead with the other party to see if I can forgive it and make up for it together next time.

His monthly salary is only about 1,000, and he has to hand over half of his salary to those gangsters on time every month as protection money, this kind of life makes him unbearable, but he can't think of any good countermeasures. Who told him to be alone now? The other party just saw this point of him, and it was easier to bully those who were alone, so they came to the door several times to find him trouble, and extorted his hard-earned money from him.

At some point, some extreme ideas have sprung up in his mind, and it is a big deal to save up enough money to buy a gun from the black market at a high price, and seek revenge on those guys and die with them. But the thought of the consequences of doing so will not only ruin oneself and face life imprisonment, but also the parents will be devastated if they learn the news. After thinking about it repeatedly, he still didn't have the courage after all. In order to live, he can only choose to endure again.

Because the speed of the bicycle was so slow, Nick could only follow far behind, driving slowly at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, when an open-air football field appeared in front of them.

The gangster leader and his men were crouching in the concrete stands of the stadium, waiting for Bruce to arrive. When he entered the court, he ordered his men to have a love affair here, and all the idle people were cleared out, and he didn't want to wait for more good people to watch or cause trouble for himself. There was also a piece of rope beside him, and it looked like he was going to get Bruce in trouble again.

Seeing Bruce stop his bike and enter the stadium, Nick parked his bike on the side of a nearby road, he didn't want to let the other party find out about his existence in the first place, and planned to intervene first.

"Did you bring the money?" The gangster leader looked at Bruce with contempt.

"Brought." The other party handed over the 400 yuan change with both hands.

"Why is there only such a small amount of money, isn't it 500?" The gangster leader began to be displeased.

"That's right, I want to go to the nearest bank to withdraw some money, but I don't have time to borrow some of it, so I can only get so much, see if I can be lenient, and make up for it together next time." Bruce began to explain for himself.
