Peter looked fiercely at the middle-aged man in front of him.

$100 is not a small amount, but it is a huge amount of money for their family. The hardships of life taught Peter the value of money.

Money can do a lot of things, he can eat beef, he can buy fruit, he can buy snacks, he can buy bicycles......

Also, he can go to school.

"Peter." Edward pulled an emotional Peter.

Sting!

There was a cracking sound, and Peter's old sleeve was torn, and one of the sleeves fell into Edward's hands.

Looking at the excited Peter, Edward frowned slightly.

Perhaps because of Edward's appearance, Uncle Ben's family is even more embarrassed than in the original book. A lot of money was spent on Edward, so that the whole family was always on the subsistence line.

It's always fake in the movie.

Poverty, depravity, darkness, strife, this is the main theme of the ghetto. Here, you can only protect your wealth by allowing yourself to be fierce and aggressive.

It doesn't matter if it's an adult or a child.

In this environment, either become cowardly and cower. Either become ferocious and aggressive.

Maybe it's because there's a younger brother who needs protection. Peter, who has a somewhat cowardly personality in the original book, has become more combative. It's also more aggressive. Edward didn't feel bad about this change.

In the original book, Edward felt that his character was a little indecisive, Edward didn't like it, but he was too much. Looking at Peter with a fierce light in his eyes, Edward took a deep breath and looked at Peter seriously.

"We are gold diggers, not robbers. Equal exchange, fair trade, and making the other party willing to hand over the money to us is what we have to do. ”

Edward's words, steady and powerful, seem to have some kind of strange rhythm. Peter's excitement slowly stabilized.

"Damn, Edward, you're using hypnotism on your brother again!" Peter, who was calm, thought of something in an instant, his face changed, he looked at Edward unkindly, and shouted loudly.

"So what, is it going to make you bite like a mad dog? I don't want anyone to see that I have a mad dog. Not to be outdone, Edward sarcastically addressed Peter, his eyes full of contempt, as if he were ashamed of his company.

"Oh, shit! You're, unexpectedly, say that about your brother! ”

"So what?"

"Edward, I should let you know my brother's majesty!!"

"Really? I'm looking forward to it. “

"Your language is so disgusting!!"

……

Peter's face was extremely ugly, and then, with anger, his face turned red, and he began to spray venom frantically at Edward.

Seeing Peter regain his composure, Edward's heart was relieved, and then, unceremoniously fought back.

In Edward's view, fighting and ferocity are just an attitude, not a means of acting. He didn't want his brother to become a gangster in the future.

Ignoring Peter, who was jumping up and down, Edward looked at Steve, who looked surprised, and groaned slightly.

Edward didn't care about the other party's dissatisfaction, if it was him, he would not be comfortable if he was taken away from a day's salary so easily, and he would be dissatisfied. But for $100, Edward wouldn't give up like that.

"Sir, you're right, it's not worth $100 just like that." Edward chuckled and shook his head.

"Oh?!" Steve looked at the teenager in front of him with interest, he wanted to know how the teenager in front of him was going to get the $100 from his hands.

Yes, for the teenager in front of him, Steve felt that he could feel more surprises from the other party.

Rich knowledge reserves, keen observation, as well as strong thinking and analytical skills, these all surprised him, not to mention, listening to the young man on the side, the blonde boy in front of him, can also hypnotize, which really makes him a little ashamed, and even frightened.

For Edward's next words, Steve was quite expectant. And Edward didn't disappoint him either.

"That action is only worth a penny." Edward continued.

Speaking of this, Edward's tone paused slightly, and a pair of eyes looked at Steve, and his tired eyes were full of seriousness that he had never seen before. It was as if a devout believer had seen the Divine One.

"Sir, it's worth only 1 cent to make this action, but it's worth 99 dollars and 99 cents to know why you did it!"

Then, Edward's words were solemn and reverent, as if he were speaking of his own faith.

"Knowledge and wisdom are priceless."

For alchemists who seek the truth of the world, knowledge and wisdom are their beliefs.

Alchemists, they are the wise men of this world, they are polymaths, they are pious.

It has been fourteen years since he came to this world, and in the past fourteen years, every day Edward has been learning, whether it is the crowd that has always come and gone, or on the Internet, on TV, in newspapers, or in books, Edward is like an insatiable glutton, greedily absorbing all useful knowledge and understanding the world more clearly.

And in these fourteen years, Edward can be said to have been quite accomplished in all aspects.

Sociology, Psychology, Biology, Physics, Energetics, Mathematics, Chemistry......

And so on, as long as it is the science of human civilization, Edward will not refuse to come, and will absorb it with all his might. And this knowledge is also the confidence that Edward can fully understand a car in an instant.

Otherwise, it's like a little kid who you instilled in him everything about a car, and he won't understand either.

Looking at the tired teenager in front of him, Steve felt as if he was hallucinating. The golden sunlight scattered on Edward's tired, green face, revealing a kind of sacredness.

Like a saint.

For endless knowledge, every alchemist, has the most devout faith.

That wisdom is their faith!

That knowledge is the truth in their hearts!

The truth of the world is the only thing in their hearts!

It's their god! It's their holy!

It's worth their whole life to practice.

And Edward is one of them!

Knowledge is priceless, and with it, he can gain endless wealth and endless happiness. Knowledge is truth, and only truth can make him feel his presence.

A solemn aura diffused between the two.

Edward was the most devout believer in the face of truth.

For a moment, Steve's eyes were a little dazed.
