1466 There is nowhere to run
"If you leave now, then I'll turn around and leave!"
Wallace's voice echoed in the spacious villa space, and in a trance, time seemed to go back again, and the scenes that had happened so many times reappeared.
Not long ago, Lu Ke, Logan, and Marcus came to the house to look for Aldon but accidentally bumped into him because of a hangover and missed the tactical meeting that day, those scenes are still vivid and lingering, and the end of that farce is Wallace's killer feature, a killer feature that haunts like a nightmare, and again, as it has been countless times, firmly binds Aldon, as it seems that it can never be separated, life and death.
Nightmares are always similar, repeating over and over again the most fearful and darkest fragments of memories in the depths of the heart, and then lingering on them and refusing to let go. Now, here it is again.
But this time, Aldon did not hesitate, not even pause, as if he had not heard Wallace's threat at all, and walked away, leaving Wallace alone, annoyed and angry, and then rushed to the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife.
"How can you do this to our friendship? How can you? I blocked three knives for you, three times! I even lost half my life for you, just because you stole the bag/big/hemp of the little overlord, and I was beaten in the back and vomited blood, what about you? And you ran away alone? And now you're here again? Just turn around and leave! Just leave me with a back! Just leave me where I am and wait to die? No way! Absolutely no way! Even if I turn into a ghost, I will haunt you, and I will never die! Aldon, I tell you, you owe me far more than you do! Inadequate! β
The screams of his life haunted Aldon like a ghost, and the nightmares from childhood and youth followed him like a shadow.
Some wonder why blacks can't get rid of those ugly pasts, and there's no way to even change their destiny by reading books?
Only those who have truly experienced those slum life can understand that it is something that is rooted in the blood and genes, that the memories woven by family and friends are hidden in every cell, that those dark pasts, those decaying neighborhoods, those depraved lives are always lingering, even if they bleached their own skin, they still cannot get rid of it, like the spell of the devil, deeply imprinted in the depths of the soul.
Escape?
The entire North American society is locked in their fate like a net, and there is no escape.
What Wallace didn't notice in his rage was that Aldon seemed to sense the danger aura, his shoulders shrank slightly, and the fear accumulated for more than twenty years still couldn't be completely eliminated, and the bond between him and Wallace was like a blood relationship, and there was never a way to cut it off, and Wallace's influence was still with him-
Even though they were both adults now, standing in front of Wallace, Alton still felt that he was still the four-year-old child in his memory, following behind his strong friend in a daze, not understanding what was happening, just following in unison, and then blindly following each other's instructions, which had become a habit.
Aldon didn't look back, and he didn't dare to look back, forcing himself to keep walking fast and escape from this black hole. Got into his car, started the engine, and walked away, leaving all those nightmares behind, but his heart was beating so fast that he could barely breathe.
When he came to his senses, Aldon began to be at a loss again, where should he go? Where can he go? Now, what the hell should he do?
Training?
In fact, Wallace is true in saying that overtraining can lead to injuries, and today is Monday and they need to rest. But Aldon didn't have a way to stay at home, he needed to leave, he needed to be quiet, he needed ...... Training, he needs to forget about Willis for a while, so, what should he do now?
My mind went blank.
Without Wallace's guidance, Aldon also became dazed and confused, accustomed to being told what to do and what to do, and now suddenly he really enjoyed "freedom", but he was a little overwhelmed.
The world is big, but Aldon doesn't know where he should go.
After thinking about it, but there was still no clear idea, he drove away in a daze, unconsciously moving around the city streets, not knowing where he was going, and when he reacted, the surrounding scenery seemed to be becoming familiar, and after a serious look, Aldon realized that he had unconsciously come to the door of Lu Ke's house.
After realizing this, Aldon couldn't help but be a little stunned - in the past, watching Hollywood movies, such clichΓ© plots often appeared, and then they cursed: Who would really be so stupid? Unconsciously able to drive to the other person's doorstep? This sounds really nonsense.
But now, he actually did it himself, and- why Lu Ke? This is not quite right, he can seriously declare: he has no idea of the same sex, he likes the opposite sex; Moreover, he didn't have any thoughts about Lu Ke, he could swear that he was serious.
Thinking of this, Aldon himself couldn't help laughing, because it was too ridiculous, and because it was too magical. What's more, he still couldn't figure out why.
Why did you get to the door of Lu Ke's house?
Leaned out of the car window and looked at it, it was indeed Lu Ke's family, and he would not admit his mistake.
Although Lu Ke is now the second-highest-paid player in the league, he still lives in the same apartment he used to live in and has not changed his mansion. Because Lu Ke is accustomed to the lifestyle here, it is very convenient to go to the training ground, and the surrounding environment is extremely comfortable, so there is no need to change a big house for the sake of changing a big house.
Distinguish?
Of course, there are still differences.
First of all, Lu Ke bought this house, changed from a tenant to an owner, and bought a house next door with him, connecting the two houses with a glass passage in the middle, and the house next door was completely built into a ...... Training base - Yes, Lu Ke has a training base in his home, a gymnasium, a conference room, a passing practice room, a tactical discussion room, a swimming pool and a bathroom with a full massage system.
Secondly, Lu Ke also purchased two other properties, one is near his parents' house, all of which are renovated, and they can be reached by walking distance of two blocks; The other is a two-storey villa near the Napa Valley, next to a vineyard, transformed into a truly exclusive mountain resort.
After signing the top contract, Lu Ke did not squander, low-key and down-to-earth to meet his life needs, no luxury cars, no yachts and no jewelry, Lu Ke still seems to be living down-to-earth; As for the huge amount in his bank account, Lu Ke spent half of it to be managed by financial planner Anderson Strathmore, looking for investment opportunities for him and slowly expanding his wealth accumulation.
This offseason, Anderson unexpectedly met Lu Ke and JJ Watt who went to watch Stephen Curry's game at Oracle Stadium.
But after that, Lu Ke did not immediately contact Anderson, but devoted himself to offseason training. On the contrary, Anderson tried to contact Lu Ke through various bridge routes, which was definitely not an easy task - because in addition to training, Lu Ke's entertainment life was very lackluster, and it could even be said that it was infinitely close to zero.
In order to be able to complete the dialogue with Lu Ke, Anderson even invited a model through a party, and then invited Candace and a group of friends to attend, which created a chance encounter again through Candace bringing Lu Ke as a male companion, Anderson did not hide his embarrassment at that time, and said honestly, "I have circled the earth twice, and I have found a chance to meet you again." β
On the contrary, Lu Ke was quite bold, "Actually, you can call me directly, or call Lehe without a problem." β
ββ¦β¦ I thought you didn't like that way of coming straight to the door. Anderson was also dumbfounded.
Lu Ke shrugged his shoulders, "My personality is that refusal is refusal, consent is consent, and the way is just a means to an end, I don't think there is any difference." This is what impressed Anderson.
After the party, Anderson officially made an appointment with Lu Ke for an interview. Face-to-face, he demonstrated his abilities, including strengths and weaknesses, as well as his future plans. Lu Ke asked Anderson to compile a report on his past work, and asked Anderson to compile a report on Lu Ke's financial planning.
Actually, this is a very, very strict requirement, because this is more like the way of university academics, or the way of large-scale business cooperation, at least not the way of doing things in a wealth management company.
Anderson was a little stunned, but he completed it as required, and was recognized by Lu Ke, and in the end, Anderson officially became Lu Ke's financial planner - the timing is a little interesting, it was Lu Ke missed the game due to injury during the three weeks, Lu Ke even teased Anderson, "It's too late for you to regret it now, my stock price has begun to fall." β
But Anderson still signed with Lu Ke.
Later, Anderson's decision proved to be accurate, because Lu Ke was just the beginning, with Lu Ke as a starting point, Anderson won many additional customers and successfully opened up the situation in the Bay Area; More importantly, Lu Ke's style of acting is a real smart person, which also makes Anderson's work win a lot of convenience, and his career has truly ushered in a turning point.
Even Anderson had to admit that high IQs were indeed different.
The two houses in front of him are the first expensive expenses after Lu Ke became popular throughout the offseason, but in Andre's words, "It's really, affordable." I can't think of a better way to spend it. β
