"The kid died."

"I spent three days in the hospital." "Abby gave her parents five thousand dollars," Bepp said. ”

"Also, she's not called Abby."

When Beelzebub turned to look at him, Beep thought he would ask what the child's name was, but he didn't say anything and went straight into Hopkins' room.

Bepp shrugged his shoulders and closed the page, he still had an independent programming assignment to complete.

After a while, a loud bang made him jump out of his chair, and as he pushed the computer open, Bep had already pulled the gun out of the drawer, and he opened the safety as he walked quickly to the door of Sasha's room, the door closed.

"Beelzebub! Sprinkle the sand! ”

He shouted.

"It's okay!" Beelzebub cried.

Bep grimaced, returned to his original position with the gun, and continued his homework, the gun next to the drink.

***

Five minutes ago.

Sasha. Hopkins' computer was also open, and the screen showed an email that was part of the property owned by the Bisandi family in the thirteen districts and two neighboring regions, with farms, factories, and an abandoned monastery on the outskirts of the city, and restaurants and laundries in the city.

There were no lights on in the room, and the darkness made the room even colder, and Sasha crossed his fingers, his eyes reflecting the white light from the screen.

Sasha didn't speak, there was only one chair in the room, Beelzebub went over and sat on the carpet, looking up, Sasha had put them in order, Chegal. The chips that Bisandi had brought out were only a drop in the bucket of his total assets, but it was enough for the two big boys, for Abby, and for the northern kids who would come here in the future.

"What do you think?"

"If all goes well," Sasha said, "the profit will be a little higher than expected." He paused, then explained: "There are farms and factories in these industries, and the warehouse of the farm and the factory building can be turned into a super-large gym with a certain amount of remodeling. Abby could set up at least four boxing rings in it, and the only thing to worry about was transportation, but I think Judas's money would be enough to buy him buses and cars; The restaurant is in the city and the laundry is in the community. There are parking lots nearby, and with a few minor adjustments to the lighting and decoration, Abbey will have 200 large gyms that can legally host children's boxing by May. ”

"Kloven will be pleased."

"Bisandi will be happy too,"

The sudden silence fell like a stone between the two boys, Beelzebub was born on Poseidon Island, and Sasha grew up on Poseidon Island, and Poseidon Island was never free for their protection and gifts.

"What are you hesitating about?" Hopkins Jr. said.

Beelzebub looked at him.

Sasha jerked back, dodging an expected attack, and the chair slid back. Pulling the power cord, the monitor flipped off the table and smashed the chair, which is what Bepp heard outside the room.

"It's okay!" When Bepp asked outside, Beelzebub replied.

The screen went off. The windows and doors were closed, and the boys faced each other in a room without light, their eyes shining like leopards in the night, and this continued for a few seconds, and they pounced on each other at the same time without warning, silently. They were trained in the same way on Poseidon Island, and they stayed with each other longer than anyone else. They know each other's strengths and weaknesses; They are also anomalous beings, agile, powerful, muscular, blood flowing faster, hearts beating faster, and clenching teeth. Take turns slamming each other's face and lower abdomen with clenched fists, hitting them with their knees and kicking them with their feet.

Beelzebub hooked Sasha's calf, and when he lost his balance, Sasha grabbed him by the neck. Two boys, who were already close to their adult height, slammed into the floor of the room with a hollow muffled sound.

They raised their arms and used their legs to suppress their opponents, and their strength was as strong as two fierce bisons.

No one knew who let go of their fingers first, and the boys, exhausted, lay shoulder to shoulder on the hard wooden floor, gasping slightly, making sure that there was absolutely no mercy on the part of the other. Beelzebub's throbbing cheeks were shattered computer screens, and they were surrounded by debris, and he even saw a blanket that God knows how it fell out of bed and wrapped around his calf? He didn't bother to think further, he looked at his friends and brothers, and Sasha curled his lips and smiled sarcastically at him.

"I don't like this," said Beelzebub, "not at all." ”

After killing John. That's what he said that night in Carson, but this time it's firmer and clearer.

"I don't like it either." Sasha said.

***

The door opened, and Bep looked up with a lightning bolt.

"Yo, you're done?" He looked at the two people who came out and said, "It's really intense, isn't it?" He didn't make a fuss about it, and was taught that violence could solve all problems, even the necessary communication between fathers and sons, brothers, and friends.

"It's over." Beelzebub took a metal jar of juice out of the refrigerator and rolled it on his face, his healing ability ensured that he didn't have to stare at a face with a blue nose and swollen face to leave the room, but he still felt hot on his face.

"I think I'm going to have to change rooms." Sasha said that he looked much better than Beelzebub, but he was also a little slurred in his speech.

"I'll contact Amp," Bepp said, "but do you need to contact Mr. Hopkins first?" ”

"He's been doing something lately." Sasha replied.

"And where are you going?" Bepp said, "I need to know this. Is it Grand Town or Lafayette? ”

"Lafayette," Beelzebub took another jar of juice, "I'll go with Sasha, on Saturday, and spend the night there, and by the way, Sasha can stay in my room for the next two days." ”

They looked at each other halfway through the room, and Bepp didn't notice it, but Bepp knew they had a "job" in Lafayette.

It wasn't hard to get permission from the school, and although Mr. Seneke was curious about the room that had been hit by a catastrophic hurricane, he signed the application without saying anything.

Anpu, whom he hadn't seen in a while, was darker and stronger, like a slightly smaller clay embryo poured out of his father's or brother's mold. "I'll give you a hand," he said cheerfully, "Pepi drives." ”

Pepi, Beelzebub's father, whose titular father drove an LM008, an off-road vehicle with a semi-open body and a raised front lid was simple and violent on the outside, but the interior was extremely luxurious and comfortable, with a mahogany dashboard, sports leather seats, automatic air conditioning, and color-changing insulated windows...... Oh yes, and there's also a built-in car refrigerator with audio and fully enclosed compression.

There was coffee and juice in the fridge, and the most common thing was lemonade, Beelzebub's favorite one.

Sasha noticed this, and changed positions during the break, with Beelzebub in the passenger seat and himself and Amp in the back, and he noticed that old Pepi had become satisfied with the small change, and his eyebrows fluttered. As far as he knows, Pepi has no children, and in Chegalle. Before Bisandi made it clear to everyone that Beelzebub should be surnamed Bisandi, he did love his son—and he should love the boy now.

He also noticed that Beelzebub would elbow his former father affectionately and covertly while waiting for a red light, winking at him.

Once in the city, Pepi took them to a sprawling supermarket with everything they needed to sprinkle sand, which they did in just over an hour, without wasting any time.

And then there's the right thing – they have one hundred and twenty-three big gyms to see.

The four of them bought their tickets honestly like ordinary spectators, and they found that while every gym had a boxing match, not every gym had a boxing match, and that four-fifths of the boxers in the children's boxing were Thanis, and as Chegalle had warned, white-skinned children would attract gamblers to bet like crazy, even if they didn't win a match at all.

Lafayette is a large district, rich, clean, and civilized, and its inhabitants are keen to spend a hundred dollars or more to see their cubs of the same race as they fight to the death.

In addition to Abby's gym, they also looked at Bisandi's properties in the Thirteen Districts, where they ate at restaurants opened by Poseidon Islanders, slept in hotels opened by Poseidon Islanders, and ordered shirts and suits in clothing stores opened by Poseidon Islanders.

"If these properties are taken back, where are these people going?" Sasha asked.

Pepi smiled, little Hopkins grew up on Poseidon Island, but he was not a pure Poseidon after all: "Except for traitors, every Poseidon will not be given up - they will have new jobs, just like now." ”

Sasha understood a little, it was clear that the "real" job of the people of Poseidon Island was not cooks, hostesses, waiters, cleaners, tailors, and so on, etc., etc., these "legitimate occupations" were only their umbrella and camouflage, and they had only one profession all along—thugs.

Maybe when the new gym is opened, a part of the Poseidon Island people will be arranged inside, both for protection and supervision, after all, Abby's biggest bait in front of Bisandi is the dividends of the gambling game, and it is difficult to be reassuring without eyes.

"Let me see," Pepi said, looking at his glittering golden Gurlett watch, "it's five o'clock, and we'll have another one." Then it's time for us to go to dinner. ”

Then Beelzebub and Sasha saw the other again.

Or rather, another thani boy, because he was given another name and his profile changed.
