Chapter 15: Slums

Old Mark had a haggard face, and decades of heavy physical work had drained his life in advance.

He didn't look like he was fifty, but seventy.

The topic of kidnapping could not be talked about anymore, and Bella could only change the conversation.

"I said, Mark, don't think I don't know, you have hidden a sum of money to buy potions for your son. Mr. Luke from the Potions Shop, Raymond's stinky boy didn't have the talent to awaken at all! ”

After a pause, she added, "Do you know how much money you wasted on those potions you bought for him earlier?" If it were for little Ruth, maybe there would have been an extraordinary awakened person in our family..."

Hearing this, Old Mark was like a cat that had been stepped on by his tail, and said hurriedly: "That money is now for little Raymond to pay a ransom, you can't move a quark!" ”

"Your waste son was just picked up, but my daughter is her own!"

Bella seemed to have been greatly wronged, crying and fussing: "How can I marry you, this wretch!" ”

......

Raymond stood in the doorway and paused for a while,

He listened to the whole process of the quarrel.

It's no wonder that the predecessor had such a deep obsession with this adoptive father Mark, and this little old man really treated him very well.

He hesitated for a moment, but pushed the door open and walked in.

"Daddy Mark, I'm back."

......

Raymond didn't die at the hands of the pirates, but he didn't expect to almost die in a lifeboat.

But fortunately, there is a beautiful little princess by her side,

Of course, the most important thing is her father, the "Grand Duke of Philip", who is the first lord of the Black Sea.

Raymond didn't know what means Archduke Philip used to find them exactly in the vast sea,

But the only thing that is certain is that

This big guy's extraordinary ability is very awesome.

Tsk, a flock of crows that cover the sky...

It is worthy of the name of "Night Raven".

......

Raymond suddenly appeared in the house, and Old Mark and Bella were suddenly stunned.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

The shock in Old Mark's eyes turned into ecstasy on his face, and he exclaimed, "Oh... Thank you for the favor of the goddess of the sea, my little Raymond, you are really back! ”

"Well, I'm back."

Raymond traveled through and fused the memories of his predecessor, and he was also quite emotional when he saw the tearful Daddy Mark.

If it hadn't been for the previous Potions advancement failures, the family's financial situation would have been much better.

When Mark saw Raymond return safely, the sadness on his face was swept away.

"Oh!"

He patted his head, as if remembering something, "It's noon, I can still work for half a day, and I can get a hundred quarks!" ”

One hundred quarks is enough for six people in the family to eat and drink for two days, and he is reluctant to rest for half a day. Old Mark was still the stingy old boilermaker, and he was back to his energetic appearance.

"Daddy Mark, be careful on your way..."

"Okay."

Raymond thought that maybe he should get some money.

Whether it's custom guns or potions, you need to burn a lot of money in them.

That's a huge sum of money enough to impoverish a wealthy family.

This family can't support that huge consumption.

......

As soon as Daddy Mark left the house on his front foot, the three girls with heavy makeup returned home on his hind foot.

These are Bella's three daughters.

Apparently, they saw Raymond as soon as they entered.

"Yo, who is this?"

The eldest daughter, Ruth, spoke in a strange manner, passing by as if she had seen a transparent person.

The second daughter, Luna, also sneered with disgust: "You weren't fed sharks by pirates? Those pirates were so merciful that they kept this waste and came back alive. ”

The third daughter said sourly: "Hmph! It must have been the eccentric old Mark who secretly ransomed him back with money..."

Not only do they dislike this slum home, but they also dislike the two waste men in the family.

......

The house is small, with a kitchen and toilet crammed into the corners. The room was lined with iron beds with bunk beds, separated by black tarpaulin curtains.

Six people are crammed into a room, and there is no privacy at all.

"It seems that not only do you need to earn money, but you also have to find a way to find another place to live..."

Raymond pursed his lips, and he was not interested in watching the three sisters change clothes. That feeling is no different from watching three sows scratching their heads.

"Tell Daddy Mark that I'm going to the academy."

He dug out dozens of quark savings hidden in the quilt, didn't stay in the house longer, and pushed the door out.

Because, he thought of a way to get money quickly.
