Chapter 33: Four Years Later

After several hours of "borrowing", Edward gained a lot of scattered gains, about 10,000 dollars.

"No wonder, people like to rob, this kind of speed of money is really fast." Edward held $10,000 in his hand and said secretly in his heart.

It was still an overnight harvest.

In this country, a middle-class person earns only $30,000 a year. And he grabbed one-third or $10,000 in one night, which is a feeling of attraction to an ordinary person.

This temptation, which seems to come from the devil, cannot be stopped when it begins.

In fact, Edward did not intend to stop. Relying on a night's harvest, Edward was able to sustain himself for a few days.

At night, Edward roamed in the dark, carefully disguising himself and searching for prey to expand his small coffer. During the day, he shuttles through various restaurants and eats a lot of food.

……

One day, one day, one day......

One week, one week, one week......

……

During this period, because of Edward's constant robbery, the security in this area at night was much better. Some thugs, in order not to break the bank, began to disappear at night. Don't come out to wander.

Edward chose a new way, such as gambling.

In the following period, some unfamiliar faces began to appear in various casinos in this area. Like ordinary gamblers, bet excitedly and gamble for money. For these unfamiliar faces, casino people naturally don't care, because there will be many such people in casinos every day.

These people have wins and losses. But if one counts all the wins and losses of these new entrants, they will find that less wins and more wins.

A lot of money went to these new faces.

It's just that neither the casino nor other gamblers know about all this.

These new faces are Edward in disguise.

Relying on the money he had gambled on, Edward began his frenzied eating frenzy again, and as he continued to eat, he felt that every cell in himself was getting stronger, and at the same time, the door of truth was solidifying faster and faster.

Edward, who had found the right way, repeated the same thing every day. Gambling makes money, and eating costs money. In addition to this, Edward also began a plan that he had already prepared. Slowly leaving traces in this world.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, four years have passed.

In the wee hours of the morning, the sun rises.

The blue sky is boundless, there is not a trace of clouds, and the blazing sun is wantonly swaying its own energy, endless light and heat, passing towards this lively world.

In the sky, several black goshawks stretched their wings to their heart's content, making a loud eagle chirp, as if welcoming a new day, enjoying their own sky.

In the city below, countless high-rise buildings are like trees in a tropical rainforest, dense and endless. Countless people, like ants living in this huge steel jungle, are flowing endlessly, and under some invisible will, they are trying their best to complete their own tasks.

Under the intense high temperature baking, the air began to distort, and under the continuous baking of the huge sun in the sky, the temperature of the whole city began to rise violently, like a high-temperature furnace that had just begun to ignite, baking busy people, as if urging.

In the steel jungle, there is a gust of wind blowing from time to time, but it does not bring the slightest coolness, because the wind is hot.

This is New York, the New York of the United States, the most prosperous place on the planet.

I have to say that although the degree of urbanization is very high, this iconic city in the United States has good green construction, and the streets and suburbs are full of rich and vibrant green, bringing a touch of green life to this cold and hot city.

High-rise buildings and developed civilization are her appearances; Prosperity, wealth, crowding, depravity, is her temperament, one and two, you have me, I have you.

New York, Queens.

The most developed place, there is also his dark side. Queens is the carrier of the dark side of the city. This is a slum, where the lower classes of New York live.

Deceit, greed, sin, constantly flourish here.

Decay, obsolescence, backwardness, gloom, are the hallmarks of this place, such a filthy place, completely out of step with the prosperous world metropolis, but harmoniously inlaid together, this is the ghetto of New York, an inseparable part of it.

As everyone imagined, all the bad things in this city can be found here.

However, in this place where it should be depraved and decayed, the closest to hell, a rich green appeared very abruptly, full of life and hope, out of place with the surrounding environment, it seemed very dazzling, but it was so big that it was fixed there, it was natural.

An old, cramped, yet clean, tidy house, looming in the green. From a distance, a touch of tranquility and peace came to the face, which made people can't help but feel calm and can't bear to destroy.

"Damn! Edward, get your damn pet out of here! In the early morning, a roar of rage suddenly sounded, waking the sleeping dawn.

The small, old room seemed to shake suddenly, scattering a few bits of dust.

Twittering!!

……

The sudden sound was like a signal, and the moment it sounded, all kinds of bird calls began to sound continuously, and slowly, around the small house, in the big green trees, one by one, on the branches, in the blink of an eye, all kinds of birds were standing.

All kinds of birdsong, chirping, and roaring, like a chorus, were accompanied by a loud roar. Immersion in it is like coming to the kingdom of birds.

At this time, the silence is like a scene in an oil painting, and suddenly it comes to life and is contaminated with a bit of popularity. It's also easier to get close to.

In the house, in the small hall, the three people are busy with their own things, there are old men reading newspapers, there are women chattering and cooking, and there are teenagers who help set up the tableware, everyone is doing their own thing, a warm atmosphere, diffused in this small space, this is a familiar taste, this is the taste of home,

It's harmonious, it's happy.

At this time, a young boy with loose hair and a slow face and anger rushed out angrily, rampaged, stepped into the hall, and yelled loudly at a blonde boy who was sitting at the dining table, a seven-point resemblance to him.

"Edward, get that damn plant out of the way, I've had enough!"
