Chapter XXXVIII
Paved with sunshine on the path, a little girl walked silently on it, a preoccupied look, gloomy eyes seemed to be unable to warm her heart even the sun.
Little Robin was still thinking about the man and cat he met not long ago, and unconsciously walked to the door.
"I'm back!"
Little Robin pushed open the door of the house, feeling the solemn atmosphere in the room, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry to be late!" ”
"Honey, look who's back!"
A woman with a full face sat in a chair, glanced at little Robin at the door, and set her eyes on a man opposite.
"Why did you come back?"
The man put down the newspaper in his hand, combed his watermelon head, his thin figure, and his gloomy gaze condensed on little Robin through the eyes on the bridge of his nose.
"I'm sorry!"
Little Robin lowered his little head like a child who had done something wrong.
Although she didn't do anything wrong. She can't argue with her uncle and aunt, otherwise she will be scolded or even beaten in exchange.
"Do you know that you are here to eat and drink for nothing, not to do some housework, to run out all day, like your useless mother, to throw your children to us, not to pay a single berry alimony, if it weren't for our kindness, you would have starved to death!" Little Robin's aunt looked at Little Robin with contempt.
"I'm sorry! I forgot the time when I read the book, and I definitely won't next time. Little Robin's head was lowered, and his little hands were clenched tightly on the edge of the book.
"If there's a next time, don't come back!"
Little Robin's uncle picked up the newspaper again, and the fluttering words reached Little Robin's ears, as if the little girl was not his niece.
"What are you doing standing? If you can't finish washing your clothes and wiping the floor at night, don't even think about eating! Little Robin's aunt glanced sideways at little Robin, looked at her husband, and complained dissatisfiedly, "Really, why take her in." Like her idiot mother, she is not sensible at all and only causes trouble for people. ”
“……”
Little Robin shuddered, turned around silently, and was about to close the door and wipe the floor, when suddenly his vision darkened.
A tall figure stood in the doorway at some point, blocking the light from behind.
"You ......"
Little Robin's eyes widened, and his gaze moved up to see a black cat squatting on the shoulders of the visitor.
It was the young man and the black cat she had met twice just now, and the young man's attire remained the same, except for a black suitcase in his right hand.
"Hee-hee...... See you again! ”
The black cat raised its paw and greeted little Robin in a friendly manner.
"Youkai!"
Little Robin's aunt let out a scream and hid behind her husband in fright.
Her muscular body made her leak out, and she looked ridiculous.
"This gentleman, this is a private residence, please leave." Little Robin's uncle put down the newspaper in his hand, a trace of sweat oozed from his forehead, and said calmly.
"Good afternoon, you two, let me introduce myself, my name is Madara Uchiha, and I want to talk to you about a business!"
The young man closed the door, jumped past the little Robin in a daze, walked slowly into the room, picked up a chair next to the dining table, and sat down casually, with the black suitcase standing beside the chair.
This person and a cat are naturally Madara Uchiha and Cat Fairy. Since Madara left the Navy Headquarters and used teleportation to come to O'Hara, he has easily found the young Nico Robin with the memories in his head.
Then there was a scene in the forest and the market, and when little Robin came home, he didn't know that the man and the cat in his head had used an invisibility spell and had been following her back.
Madara and Cat Fairy heard the conversation in the room just now, and then he lifted the invisibility spell.
"We don't lack anything, we have nothing to talk about." Little Robin's uncle sneered.
"How so! I believe that people live in this world and there is always something missing. ”
Madara looks polite, and those who don't know think he's really a businessman.
The cat fairy forced a smile, this is a rare scene.
Little Robin's fat aunt hid behind, her eyes drawn to the spotted gold coat, and greedily stared at the rubies set on it.
Madara picked up the suitcase under the table and slammed it open.
Little Robin's uncle was startled by the crisp sound of the locking spring, and then his eyes widened and stared incredulously at the open suitcase. As for the woman hiding behind him, she no longer looked at Madara's golden coat, and stared at the suitcase, her eyes almost popping out.
"This kind of thing is money!" Madara smiled.
Little Robin, who was standing on the side, also opened her eyes wide, her dark green pupils were stunned, and she could clearly see that the suitcase was full of Bailey.
She had never dreamed of seeing that much money!
"Can we talk now?"
Madara chuckled, this wasn't an illusion, Bailey in the suitcase, but he got it from the Navy Headquarters.
For the deep-pocketed Navy Headquarters, millions of Berry are just a drop in the bucket.
No amount of Bailey is a waste of paper for Madara, but he needs to buy some good food during his time in the pirate world.
The world government pays the bill, which is better than eating a bully meal, which can reduce a lot of trouble.
"What do you want? As long as we have it, we can sell it all! Little Robin's uncle had a smile on his face, and he looked at Madara's gaze as if he were seeing the God of Wealth.
"Money glutches!"
Little Robin said something in his heart, and then he was a little curious.
What is it about my uncle's home that attracts one person and one cat?
"I just met a very interesting little girl in the forest, she can grow a lot of arms, after my many inquiries, I found out that the other party is your little niece, although it is very abrupt, but can you sell her to me?"
Madara was talking serious nonsense, and as he narrated, the faces of the three people in the room all changed.
Little Robin's face was bloodless, and her aunt and uncle stood on the spot.
"I'm willing to pay a million Berry!" Madara laughed.
“……”
Little Robin's uncle's pupils regained color, and he froze again at the sight of Madara's words.
"Goo-toot!"
Little Robin's aunt swallowed, her throat dry.
"I disagree!"
A crisp voice sounded in the room, and little Robin, who had a good impression of one person and one cat, instantly lowered one person and one cat to the rank of bad guys.
Although she didn't want to live in her uncle's house, only then could she live on the island and wait for her mother to return.
If it falls into Madara's hands, she doesn't know what her fate will be, but she will probably never see her mother for the rest of her life.
Little Robin is convinced that her mother will return, and she will follow her wherever she goes.
For this reason, I studied desperately, and I wanted to become an archaeologist like my mother, but I just hoped that my mother would not abandon her.
