Chapter 14: Determination

The gangster who kicked open the door of Lucian's house, seeing that there was no reaction inside, rushed in to take a look, and then withdrew and said to the leader with an ordinary, unobtrusive face: "Brother Jackson, there is no one inside, things are very neat." ”

Jackson said with an approachable smile: "It took a lot of time to trick this kid out of old Cohen, I thought I would be late, hehe, although Mag and Andre are stupid and wasteful, they are at least a little useful." ”

The gangsters around him heard him mention Mag and Andre, and immediately remembered the tragic situation of Mag covering his lower body and howling, and involuntarily had a feeling of wind blowing through the crotch of his pants, and Andre, who was standing at the front, silently rejoiced that if the kid ran away with things and money, his fate would be very miserable, of course, it would be much better than Mag who was asserted by the doctor that he needed to lie in bed for a week.

"Andre, you go in and look for it, see if there's anything strange. Jackson commanded.

Andrei was about to show meritorious service, and walked in without the slightest hesitation.

After a few minutes, Andre came out with a strange look on his face and a lot of bits and pieces: "Brother Jackson, this kid has a lot of 'garbage' in his box. ”

Lucien lamented in his heart, these are things that have not yet had time to be processed, the first time he sees them, he will definitely directly associate them with garbage, if he knows that he has sold goods in the market area in the past few days, then as long as he has a normal person's IQ, he should be able to think of a way to make a fortune.

And they are alone, and they are afraid of being discovered, so they don't bring back many items every time, and can only earn some insignificant copper fairs, but if Aaron's gang takes control of the garbage dump by the river, with their manpower, and their familiarity and mastery of the market area, it may be a "doorway" with a lot of money, so they will definitely not give up, so they will have to find other ways to make money.

Jackson glanced at the garbage that André was holding, and shook his head: "I think I know where he got the Terser copper, hey, the church disposes of it every three days, so we never thought that there would be 'treasures' hidden in the garbage heap by the Belém River." The garbage of the court, the aristocratic quarter, the out-of-town estates, the musicians' guilds, the blacksmiths' guilds, the mercenary guilds, etc., is concentrated along the Belém River. Hehe, the garbage in the eyes of the nobles may not really be garbage. ”

In fact, after André and Mag learned that Sean had sent the garbage of the Musicians Guild outside the city, Jackson had a conjecture in this regard, and now it has only been confirmed.

After making this speech, Jackson smiled kindly: "Thank you Lucien, let us have another road that shimmers with charming money, so thank him with our enthusiasm, go and smash all the things in his house, and return the copper and silver nar found to yourself, and whoever finds him in the future and 'thanks' him fiercely can come to me and receive a good reward." ”

In Jackson's eyes, Lucien is far from the point where he needs to send people to squat, as an organized, disciplined, and genuine gangster, he needs to be busy with a lot of things every day, how can he waste time and manpower for such a small person.

The gangsters cheered, and if it weren't for the fact that Lucian's room was too small to accommodate a limited number of people, they would all rush in.

The sound of clinking and clinking rang out one after another.

Lucien, who was hiding not far away, could tell from the voice: "The crockpot is broken...... The table was smashed...... They're looking for the money I'm hiding......" Lucien said as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

But Lucien also understands that more than a dozen gangsters are there, and if they try to stop it, they can only be beaten or even killed, so no matter how angry, aggrieved, and angry they are, they have to forcibly hold back.

With no status, no fists, no strength, there is no way to encounter these scoundrels, hooligans, scoundrels, and scum, and as for the law, it can be roughly guessed from their arrogant behavior that if they take the lead by themselves, it will be useless.

"If the witch hadn't gone to the cemetery to steal the bones, she would have been burned to death. ”

"Since magic still exists, dark creatures, heresies, etc., it is likely that there are still places where magic is not so discriminated against and excluded, I just need to be careful when I learn magic, and when I have the power to protect myself, I will find a real place to live. ”

"The danger is great, but the harvest is also great, if you want to be rich and rich, if you want to enjoy, how can you go smoothly and not take a little risk? Even if you are in business, you have to endure the exploitation of nobles and gangsters, as well as the competition of opponents, and if you are not careful, you will go bankrupt and even die. ”

Many of the thoughts that were usually suppressed in Lucien's heart finally broke through the cage and echoed in his mind, like the temptation of the devil, so that he didn't even think about it, assuming that there was really a safe place to learn magic, why did the witch come to Aalto.

Countless thoughts, countless desires, converged in Lucien's heart, but before he could make up his mind, he suddenly heard Aunt Elisa's voice: "You damn villains, what are you doing?!"

The clothes that the textile guild needed to be cleaned were all collected at ten o'clock, and after arranging for Evan to go outside the city to pick mushrooms, Alisa had not yet gone out when she heard the sound of smashing things.

Holding a long wooden soup spoon and waving it, she walked towards the Aaronic gangsters, trying to stop them from destroying Lucien's hut.

"Get her aside. Jackson pointed at Elisa.

The two thugs, who had not been able to enter the house to get a handful, sprang out, pulled up their sleeves, and walked viciously towards Aunt Elisa, trying to put her aside.

However, they underestimated Aunt Elisa's strength, and the hand that was comparable to the bear's paw attack swung the spoon, and with a heavy blow, the gangster who had walked in front of him staggered and screamed in pain.

Jackson looked around, and immediately two more thugs followed.

Although Alisa has a lot of strength, wide weight, and is very intimidating, the opposite few are all thugs who make a living from fists, and after a few hard blocks to avoid the vital point, they knocked her soup spoon to the ground.

The heavy punch hit Alisa in the shoulder, and even though there was a weakening of the fat, it still made her cry out in pain, but she did not flinch, and still moved forward, shouting: "Stop, the sheriff will be coming soon." ”

Lucien, who was behind the wall not far away, finally couldn't help but curse himself after seeing Aunt Alyssa being beaten: "Still not a man?!"

Although he has only known each other for a few days, he does not have too strong feelings for Aunt Alisa and Uncle Joel, but at this moment, Aunt Alisa was beaten in order to prevent others from destroying her cabin, and she hid and did not dare to come forward, which was really unacceptable to herself.

Therefore, Lucien clenched his fists, glanced in front of the hut, shook his head fiercely, and scolded, "!"

Then he rushed out of the city, aiming for Jackson, who was only one person left by his side!

Lucien, who was not far from the hut, rushed to Jackson's vicinity in just a few steps, and then pounced on it.

Only then did Jackson react, and turned his head to look at this side in surprise, but he didn't have time to do anything else, and Lucien slammed into him, knocking him to the ground, and the two of them scuffled together.

Lucien pressed Jackson's hands with his body and left hand to prevent him from pulling out the dagger that might exist on his body, while his right hand desperately tried to reach for Jackson's throat, as long as he held his throat and restrained him, he could temporarily control the situation.

But Jackson can become the leader of Aaron's gang, not only by being sharp and ruthless, he used to be a thug, so he has a lot of experience, while taking advantage of the situation to roll, not giving Lucien a chance to pinch his throat, while the suppressed hand moved his elbow slightly, hitting Lucian's ribs again and again.

There is no room to move, and the elbow blow does not have much force, but the ribs themselves are a more sensitive and fragile place, under Jackson's frequent blows, Lucien is so painful that he bared his teeth, but Lucian, who has experienced Gary's blow, knows that he can't panic at this time, and must hold on, so he endured the pain, and his right hand finally touched Jackson's throat.

Just as Lucien was about to squeeze it hard, his right rib hurt, and the whole person flew up and fell heavily to the ground.

Relying on his rich experience, Jackson finally supported the gangsters around him to rush over and kick Lucien to the side.

And the thugs in the house, the thugs who stopped Alisa, also had their own people running at this time.

Lucien was just about to stand up, but his toes and fists fell like a torrential rain, so that he had no way to resist at all, so he could only calmly hold his head, roll into the shape of a shrimp, and protect the vital point, and let the rest of the place be beaten by the gangsters.

He was beaten and rolled on the ground, and the pain in his heart hit his mind, but Lucien still maintained a minimum of calm and beaten posture, otherwise it would be miserable to be kicked to the vital part like a mag.

At this time, Lucien had a feeling of his soul floating, retching and vomiting, everything around him became trance-like, the voice was noisy, as unreal as a shaking movie, and Aunt Elisa's cry was far from the otherworld: "You let him go......"

The decision that he didn't have time to make just now, in such an environment, Lucien finally made up his mind: "You must master inhuman and extraordinary powers, even magic!"

"Even if you borrow from a loan shark, you have to scrape together enough money to learn the language in a short period of time!"

Jackson looked at Lucien, who was beaten and rolled around, moved his arm that was a little painful just now, went up and kicked it twice, and then said to his thugs: "Okay, that's it, the lesson is enough, this kid has a friend who is an official knight squire of Sir Vane, and there is no need to kill people." ”

If he wanted to kill people for this level of things, and he was also a good friend of the squire who killed a certain knight, Aaron's gang would have killed Aarto in a river of blood, but in fact, Aaron's gang was able to control the city gate area and part of the market area all the time, and it was not too much to rely on, otherwise Aalto's real controllers, nobles, bishops, and priests with terrible power would have made them disappear long ago, even if it was rumored that Aaron had an inextricable relationship with a certain big man.

The thug stopped, his eyes were vicious around Lucian, Jackson looked at Lucien, who was bleeding from the nose and bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and seemed to be dizzy, and said with a smile: "Actually, I appreciate your mind, but boy, you are still too immature, well, things outside the city, I hope you don't be greedy anymore, otherwise, it will not only be beaten, I believe that Mag will want to discuss life with you." ”

There must be no hidden thing about controlling the garbage dump by the river, so Jackson didn't think about killing people.

After saying that, Jackson saw Lucian looking at him with a bloody face, and replied in a hoarse and simple voice, "Okay." ”

This made Jackson feel a little weird, but he didn't think much of it, and beckoned the gangsters to leave triumphantly with the items Lucian hadn't had time to dispose of, as well as the forty-five copper fairs that had been recovered from him.
