"Nothing...... It's just some ......" David wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve, he thought about it but couldn't come up with a good answer.

"Fight, fight, I'm not your parent, what reason are you looking for in front of me?" Bai Xing smiled, "But looking at you like this, you lost, right?" ”

"You better clean up first, the hospital sent me a message saying that your mother woke up, and I happened to be on the way, so I just went to see her together, you don't look like this to explain to your mother?"

"Good...... Good. ”

David struggled to stand up and catch up with Shirahoshi, and he still hadn't fully recovered from the combination punch that Katsuo Tanaka gave him just now.

After arriving at the hospital, Shirahoshi said to David, "You go see your mother first, I still have something to do." ”

"Hmmm......"

"David!"

Gloria was lying on the hospital bed and shouted in surprise when she saw her son come in.

"Mom...... Are you feeling better......"

"I'm completely fine, and I just told the doctor that I want to be discharged, but they said no." Gloria had slept for several days, and the tiredness in the corners of her eyes had disappeared, which made her whole person look radiant.

"David." Her hand suddenly brushed David's face, "What are you......?" Who made it look like this? ”

No matter how much David tried to tidy himself up before he came, how could he hide it from a mother's eyes?

“……”

"Don't hold on, say something, David." Looking at her son's gaze, Gloria's heart suddenly twitched.

"I got into a fight with that Katsuo Tanaka...... That's ......"

David really couldn't stand his mother's eyes just now, so he could only choose to say it.

"But there's a reason for that!" He immediately explained that he was afraid that his mother would think that he had done something bad at school, "It was that guy who said you-"

"Poof—"

Looking at her silly son's anxious look to explain, Gloria couldn't help laughing for a while.

"Mom!" David suddenly shouted dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you." Gloria's eyes were full of softness, "I'm just afraid of what you've done. ”

"That's not a cheap cost here, is it?" She looked around the environment in the ward, not to mention the cleanliness and tidiness, the high-level instruments next to her that she couldn't understand were enough to make a poor person feel scared.

"I'm afraid that in order to cure me, you will go around looking for people to borrow money, and then the debt collectors will come to the door and beat me like this."

"But in the current situation, you must be looking for someone to borrow money to pay for the medical bills, right?" Gloria said with certainty that she still knew the situation at home, she was unconscious in bed, and David was only a student, so the only way was to borrow money from someone she knew.

"Tell me, how much did you borrow?"

"Lots of ......"

"Of course I know a lot, you must be mentally prepared for me to ask this, just say it!"

"The medical expenses are 10,000 euros."

It wasn't David who answered Gloria, they all looked at the door, it was Shirahoshi who said he was going to do something.

Seeing Bai Xing coming, David immediately stood up and introduced to his mother: "This is Big Brother Bai, he is the one who saved us." ”

"Hello, uh......" Shirahoshi greeted, but soon he began to ponder, according to his understanding, David's mother herself should have called Auntie, but looking at this young face, this "Auntie" could not be shouted.

"Don't worry about that kind of thing." Gloria shook her head, "I'll pay you back as soon as I can if it's for the medical bills." ”

Although she had been mentally prepared, it was undeniable that she couldn't help but gasp when she heard the number 10,000.

"It's okay, it's okay, there's plenty of time, since it's okay, then I'll go first."

"Okay, thank you again for saving me, Mr. Bai."

"No, no, no, please don't call me that, I'm not much older than David."

David sat on the side and looked at the floor in a trance, he thought of the final payment, Brother Bai ...... Still didn't say a word......

"David! David! ”

David, who had come to his senses, looked at his mother and saw that she was glaring at him.

"Everyone is leaving, why are you still sitting here in a daze, and you don't even say hello?"

"Oh, goodbye, big white brother."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Big Brother Bai, David sat down in the chair again, while Gloria checked the news with a sad face.

It was a message from her old client Mann, and it looked like he was looking for her a few days ago.

Mann: Gloria? Are you there?

Mann: Gloria, what's going on? No one answered your phone, is something wrong?

She immediately made a phone call, and it was instantly connected.

"Gloria?"

"It's me, I'm sorry, I had a car accident two days ago. About the prosthetic—"

"By the way, I came to you because of that prosthetic thing. I don't want that prosthetic, I'm sorry. ”

"What...... Why did you ...... all of a sudden?"

"Don't worry, Gloria. This matter has nothing to do with you, it's my problem, you keep 20% of the money you paid before, it will be regarded as liquidated damages, and I still owe you a lot of favors. ”

Gloria, who hung up the phone, suddenly turned ugly.

This thing itself is a hot potato, and she also came back with great courage, if it weren't for her old customer, it would be difficult to make a move.

"What can I do about this......" Gloria pressed her eyebrows, and her newly regained consciousness began to have a headache again.

David's school has a large amount of compensation waiting for her to pay, and then there is an extra 10,000 euros in medical bills, and now even the promised deal is yellow.

Although Mann is a good person and is willing to pay liquidated damages, it is a drop in the bucket for the debt she owes now.

"Mom......"

Gloria looked at her son, just in time for the worried eyes.

Oh no, I must have seen the sadness I just had.

Thinking of this, Gloria quickly adjusted her expression.

"Don't hide it, Mom. I know it all. David shook his head and said, "I'll figure it out together." ”

"What do you think, what do you think! Don't think about it! Gloria's eyebrows widened, "You just need to read me a good book, and leave the rest to my mother, and I'll figure it out." ”

"I don't-"

"What did you say!"

"I said I don't want to!"

David stood up suddenly, and he said, "I'm not going to Arasaka Academy!" I really can't fit into that kind of place, I'm not destined to belong there! ”

"But I ......"

"Mom, don't say any more, and don't cry." David looked at his mother seriously with his determined eyes, "I've thought about it, I've thought about it a long time ago, studying at Arasaka Academy all the time, and then going to work as a dog for the company, that's not what I want!" ”

"Wait, Mom, I'll be able to pay the family's debt soon."

"Can't even I convince you......"

"I've decided." After saying this, David didn't care whether his mother agreed or not, and turned his head and left.

He was also afraid, afraid that if he looked at his mother's face for one more second, he would lose the courage he had so hard accumulated.

Gloria sat on the hospital bed and watched David's departing back in a daze, and after a long time, she let out a long sigh and then opened the address book, she was also a smart person.

What her son meant, how could she not understand.

"Big Brother White!"

Shirahoshi, who was walking home slowly, suddenly heard someone shouting his name on the street.

When I looked back, I saw David, who was out of breath.

"It's David, why didn't you accompany your mother in the ward, why did you come out to find me?"

"Big Brother Bai! I want to join you! Teach me to be a mercenary! ”

"Huh? Didn't I answer this question to you last time? No—okay—" Shirahoshi shook his head, and he decided not to let David get involved in the business anymore, so that tragedy could be averted.

David didn't speak, just followed Shirahoshi firmly to show his attitude, Shirahoshi took a step, David took a step.

"I'm talking about you." Shirahoshi finally turned impatiently to look at the heel behind him.

"Didn't you say no?"

"But I think I could—"

"No, no, David, there are some things that you don't think you can do." Bai Xing hurriedly interrupted, "Look at you now, you don't have any decent equipment on your body, you have to work hard as a mercenary!" Just like you, you can't even fight with your classmates, what do you do as an outlaw? ”

The sentence "I can't even beat my classmates" hit David's pain point, and he immediately argued unconvinced: "But Brother Bai, aren't you just a protoplasm?!" ”

Indeed, judging from his observation and analysis, Big Brother Bai is the same as him, just a pure product with nothing, so if you can do it, why can't I?

“……”

At the moment when Bai Xing's eyes narrowed slightly, David suddenly felt a sense of something wrong.

Sure enough, when David's idea first came to him, he was surprised to find that he was actually lying on the ground, while Big Brother Bai was sitting on him, controlling his hands behind his back with one hand.

"This ...... Here's how to do it! ”

"Got it?" Shirahoshi said slowly, "David, I have my special method, but what about you? What can you do? There is not even a decent prosthetic. ”

"I have!" David didn't care that he was lying on his stomach in the street, he ignored the strange stares that came, and shouted, "I have the words of the prosthetic!" ”

Apparently, David also thought of the object, which he found in his mother's jacket while his mother was in a coma, the one he had intended to sell to Dr. Black Prosthetics to pay off his debts.

"You stubborn ......" Shirahoshi was silent in the middle of speaking, he wanted to continue to persuade David, but he suddenly received a message, from Gloria.

"Help me take care of David a little more, okay? Please! ”
