Chapter 87: The Little Assassin
"What's your name?" I asked him.
"Jonah."
"You're not a mirage?"
"Gravel Hee Hye."
"I'll call you Jonah......"
"So whether you give money or not."
I spread my hands, "I really don't have that much money, but if you're willing to wait, I might be able to give it to you later." ”
"How long is it going to be?"
"Half a year?"
Jonah lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for you for half a year." ”
"Ahem, you...... Where are you going to go during this time? ”
"I don't have a passport or identification, I guess I can't go anywhere, you can arrange a place for me to live for half a year."
The corners of my mouth twitched, "You know what? You almost killed my bodyguard, aren't you afraid that I will take revenge on you? ”
Jonah spread his hands like me, "Didn't you already kill Grandpa Shiraishi, I didn't even want to avenge him, and your bodyguard didn't die, why did you seek revenge on me?" Besides, I didn't get a penny, and I'm a victim. ”
I stared at him with wide eyes, I didn't expect a teenager to be able to distinguish grievances and grievances so clearly? No wonder he can come to my door to ask me for money without being afraid of it, and indeed as he said, as soon as Shiraishi dies, there is no chain of hatred between me and him. But...... He also came to me to ask for money, this is not extortion, what is it!
I nodded, "I can take you in for half a year, I can give you four million, and I can even help you get a passport to get you out of here, but you have to promise me one condition." "I appreciate this young man's clear grievances, at least he has his own code of conduct, I have always felt that people with a bottom line should not be called 'bad people'.
"On what terms?"
I said, "My bodyguard was shot by you and is still in the hospital, you have to apologize to her." ”
The young man lowered his head and thought for a long time, his expression was very hesitant, and then he said, "Since the incident has happened, is it still useful to apologize?" It's a big deal, her medical bills are deducted from my four million. ”
I shook my head and said, "Apologizing is not about changing established facts, not even to get someone to forgive you, but for yourself." Remember the remorse you felt when you apologized, and think about yourself when you point a gun at someone in the future, and then consider whether to pull the trigger. ”
The young man thought for a moment and said, "What I do is a business that takes money to work, even if there is a next time as long as it is for money, I will not hesitate to pull the trigger." ”
I don't deny what he said, but I know that the seeds of thought have sprouted in his heart, "You're right, wait until the next time you encounter such a situation, but this time you have to apologize to me." ”
The young man frowned and hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, it's up to you." ”
After that, I put Jonah in the attic where Peony lived, and then cooked two bowls of instant noodles and ate them with him. During the chat, it was learned that Jonah was his Western name, and he grew up in the war-torn world of the West. Two months ago, Teruichi Shiraishi got it to the mirage country through some channels, and after a while, he got it here again.
"What was your tongue-twisting name?"
"It was given to me when my parents were still alive." After finishing speaking, he didn't mind, threw off his shoes after eating instant noodles and lay down on Peony's bed.
I was about to go out when I saw Jonah sniffing the peony's pillow with his nose, and I suddenly felt a little strange.
After sniffing for a while, he turned his head to look at me, "Your bodyguard...... Was it the woman from that night? Is this bed hers? ”
That night? I guess it refers to the night I spent the night at Fengyue Restaurant, and Peony was outside to help me clean up the Assassins. I nodded, "Yes, were you there that night?" She said that she searched around and found no sniper. ”
Jonah nodded, "She almost found out," and then he sniffed at his clothes and muttered, "What a woman......
Nothing was said all night.
Since the Assassins who posed the greatest threat to me had come to me on their own, I could go out in peace and security. As for the things that are fermenting in the Double Star Club, hehe Zhang Xincheng must have a lot of fun.
I helped Zhang Xincheng contact Solin and the rest of the leaders of the small forces, and now he wants someone to have a guy, and he has a place in the Double Star Society, and even won over some old people left by Baishi before. Well, it is estimated that it will have to be called Samsung Club in the future.
As for Solin and those small forces, this is a letter of nomination handed to me, and they dare not help Zhang Xincheng to help.
I took Jona to the hospital early that morning, and I was visibly relieved to see my peony intact.
As soon as Jonah entered the hospital room and saw the peony, he went over and sniffed at her. The corner of my mouth twitched and smacked him directly on the back of the head, "Can you be polite." Jonah pouted, touched his head, and grimaced at me.
Peony looked at the child in surprise and asked, "Who is this girl?" ”
"Isn't that the sniper that day unexpected...... Wait, what did you just say? She's a girl? ”
Peony gave me a blank look, "Don't you know?" ”
I turned my head and stared at Jonah with wide eyes, the corners of my mouth twitching from excessive twitching, "You...... You're a woman?! "I realized that her overly delicate face really didn't look like a boy.
Jonah didn't deny or ignore me, and asked Peony curiously, "Sister, how did you do it, why didn't you smell at all?" ”
Peony smiled, but did not answer.
"Ahem......" I coughed, "do you remember what I brought you here for?" ”
Jonah sighed, then reluctantly bent down and saluted Peony, "I'm sorry......"
Peony looked at me unexpectedly as if asking again, to be honest, I don't know how to place this girl, I can't let her do nothing and follow me for half a year, it seems that it is the best choice to get her an identity in two days and arrange for her to go to school.
"I'm going to be discharged in two days." Peony suddenly spoke.
"Is there no problem?"
"Well, except for strenuous exercise, it shouldn't be a problem to follow you on a regular basis."
"What are you doing with me, do you want to help me block bullets?"
Peony looked at it with a complicated expression, "I don't know why...... I always feel at ease with you. ”
I sighed and patted her cheek, "Get some rest, I'll go first, the finishing touches of the Double Star Club are done." ”
At this time, Jonah suddenly jumped up and said, "Sister, I will help you protect him, can you teach me the skills of removing body odor?" ”
Peony shook his head slightly, "It's too late for you to start practicing at your age." ”
"How much is it useful? It's better than nothing, right? ”
Peony hesitated, looked at me, and finally agreed. Jonah leaped for joy.
"Just her?" I looked at Jonah in disbelief," she ...... Isn't it amazing? ”
Peony smiled and said, "At least it's better than the big dog next to you, to be honest, he's really useless except for blocking bullets." ”
