Chapter 5: The Gangsters Every Story Needs
The impact of the "boom" caused his back to hit the base of the wall, and the burning pain made Murray grin, but he quickly sat up to check on Salia.
At this time, Saria did not have the indifference and vigor she had before, her eyes were closed tightly, and her face was full of pain.
Reaching out his hand, he gently stroked Sariya's white cheeks, and pulled the somewhat messy hair on her face to the side.
Even with such a light movement, the woman in her arms was still unconscious, but she didn't know if she was injured or something else?
After thinking for a moment, Murray immediately realized that the two of them were now in the city, and it would be dangerous to continue lying on the street like this.
Picked up Sariya and quickly walked through the streets, walking through the more remote alleys.
Now I just want to take Salia back to her home as soon as possible, at least to avoid the possible round-up of the military and police.
Murray didn't believe that the lion king's great knight chief Cortro, after getting out, would let go of the now unconscious Sariya.
Walking through the dimly lit alleys, several times I almost took the wrong path and stepped into the places where the city gangs were entrenched.
The poorer the city, the more ruthless gangsters will be entrenched, and these guys take pride in bullying the weak.
Their existence is the parasites at the bottom of the empire, gnawing at the weak foundations of the empire, most of them are ruthless and will not show mercy to any civilian subordinates, but at the same time they are a group of lowly guys, because they are also afraid of the military and police, afraid of the violent institutions of the powerful Sun Empire, and unwilling to defy the majesty of the empire.
Now he was holding a beautiful woman in his arms, and although this woman was very powerful, she was now in a coma.
It is not difficult to imagine that if it is seen by those gangsters, those guys will inevitably be like a group of fierce beasts, directly tearing up Sariya who has no power to fight back.
Walking, running, choosing the safest routes, even if those roads seem a little rough, even if they may take a little more detour.
Murray is very familiar with the roads of the city, and his brain is like a difference machine, able to quickly calculate the best route.
Before today, every day at work, in order to be able to save the few coins on his body, he always had to make such a calculation of the route home, in order to avoid the filthy and vicious moths.
It's a pity that in the process of running, there was still a deviation, and it was accidentally blocked by a former enemy.
"Yo he, look who this is, it's our poor little Mori, what's wrong?Isn't it strange, why did you get caught by me?"
"Hahaha, you little handyman in the factory, do you think you're always so lucky that you can avoid Jack's block?"
Standing in the middle of the alley, I saw the young man standing at the other end of the alley, with a wicked smile on his face, a mohican hairstyle, and a head taller than himself.
Almost without the other party's words, at this moment Murray can clearly know that his trip today was discovered and betrayed to the other party.
Jack, the leader of a small gang in the city, spent a lot of money to block Murray on the way off work because he was disturbed by Murry the last time he was looking for money from a young worker in the factory.
Because Murray attracted the military police, Jack lost dozens of coins that were almost at his fingertips.
For people like Jack who are involved in the gang, they have always been eager to repay it, not to mention that those dozens of dollars are Jack's expenses for three days.
Remembering this grudge, Jack paid three dollars this time to buy Mori's whereabouts from a little beggar.
Jack walked into the alley step by step, his eyes fixed on Mori, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.
When I almost walked in front of Mori, I suddenly saw the woman in Mori's arms, and saw the woman's beautiful face.
For a moment, Jack felt as if his heart had stopped beating, and Jack, who was in the gang, felt that the woman in front of him was a hundred, no, countless times more beautiful than those ladies in the upper city.
After hesitating for a moment, in the shouts of the men beside him, Jack finally came back to his senses, raised his head sharply and said to Murry: "Little Murry, put this woman down, I can let you pass." ”
Without the slightest hesitation, "Slap" threw the money bag on his waist at Jack's feet: "This is all today's wages, get out of the way." ”
Jack and his men were stunned for a moment, and then Jack bent down to pick up the money bag and weighed it twice in his hand.
Hearing the sound of the copper coins in the money bag colliding is really the most beautiful sound in the world.
Putting the money bag into his arms, Jack didn't mean to get out of the way, and greedily stared at the woman in Moli's arms and said: "This money is the protection money you escaped before, now obediently put the woman down, I will let you go, and the previous things will be written off, otherwise, these subordinates of mine will not mind giving you a punch." ”
Eventually, Murray understood that there was no such thing as a greedy moth, and that they would covet everything they saw.
Looking down at the woman who was still unconscious in his arms, Murray raised his head sharply and said seriously, "Jack, you and your people had better get out of the way now." ”
Hearing Murry's warning words, Jack was stunned for a moment, and then laughed on his back with the subordinates around him: "Hahaha, I, I heard you right, right? The little handyman dared to say something to me? 'Better get out of the way', this, is this really what he said?"
A little brother standing next to Jack smiled and said, "Brother Jack, this kid has been scared stupid, just go up and get rid of him together." ”
At this moment, Murray was completely surrounded by Jack's gang, and it was almost impossible for him to have a chance to escape.
Faced with such a situation, Murray did not have the slightest fear, and the expression on his face was extremely calm.
At this time, it seemed that he was no longer afraid of the gangsters around him, and looked at them with a condescending gaze.
Finally, under the stalemate between the two sides, Jack's patience was exhausted first, and he now only wanted to get the woman in Murry's arms as soon as possible.
"Brothers, give it to me, the woman will leave it for Lao Tzu, and as for this boy who doesn't know each other, beat him up and throw it out. ”
At Jack's command, the gang of gangsters unceremoniously stepped forward and grabbed Murry, trying to snatch the woman in his arms.
However, something that Jack and his gang did not expect happened at this time, but a light appeared on Murry's body, and the next moment everyone except Jack was burned by the flames in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it was burned into a pile of charcoal.
Jack was left standing alone, looking at Murray in panic, as if he had seen a terrible monster with a terrified face.
