Chapter 1072: select

"condition......"
Raphael muttered with his eyes down, as small as the buzzing of mosquitoes.
Suddenly, he raised his head, staring straight at me, and said, "What are your conditions?"
I said lightly: "I want you to give something."
"thing?"
He fell silent again.
About a minute later, he re-said, "What? What do you want me to give? What else do I have now?"
He muttered like this for a long time as if talking to himself. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said loudly: "No, I can't give it to you, I can't give my daughter to you, she is still young and has a very bright future. I can't let you ruin her!"
As he said, Raphael stretched out his arm to put his arms around Betty, his whole body trembling, like sifting chaff, and the expression on his face was a mess of excitement.
I shook my head and said lightly: "I don't want your daughter, what I want is something you have now."
Raphael stopped shaking suddenly, he stared at me blankly: "What I have now...what do I have now?"
He spread his hands and said in a very sad tone: "I have nothing now, career, house, money, servants, reputation, and a large purple heart garden. It's gone, it's gone... ..."
He smiled miserably, held his head in his hands, rubbed his hair vigorously with his fingers, and said decadently: "I am a pauper now. I have nothing except my daughter."
"No, you still have, there are many more" I said lightly: "You have a daughter who loves you, and you have friends who are willing to help in times of crisis. You have family, humanity, freedom, medical skills, etc. Wait, you are not a pauper, you are just a poor man who is in a pile of wealth but cannot see the wealth."
"Poor man... poor man... I..."
He suddenly choked and couldn't say a word, and just hugged Betty like a helpless child.
Little Betty stroked her father's hair lightly, again and again, very lightly and softly, as if she was comforting the child's mother.
After about a quarter of an hour, Raphael finally recovered his sanity. He raised his head and said to me: "What do you want from me?"
"free."
I smiled slightly: "I only want your freedom."
"I don't understand" Raphael shook his head.
"Let’s put it this way, you need a chance to make a comeback, I need your medical skills, and I also have the chance to make you come up again, but once you accept my commission, your personal freedom will fall to me. In the hands of you, I let you go out, so you can go out. If I don't let you go out, you can only stay where I give you for the rest of your life, and you must not take half a step. How about, do you want to think about it?"
I looked at Raphael quietly, smiling faintly.
Raphael's expression was very tangled. He seemed to be embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he said: "I don't care, but my daughter..."
"Well, I understand, you are worried that your daughter will not be taken care of, right" I exhaled softly, and I said: "Tell you the truth, once you agree to my entrustment, your daughter will become a hostage. If you do your job honestly, your daughter will never have any problems. Whether it is in life or in school, I will send the best person to teach her, train her, and let her live a good life. After she is an adult, I will arrange a job she likes for her. Of course, it all depends on your absolute obedience to my arrangement. If you have any rebellion or betrayal, I will be the first Time to kill your daughter."
The hesitation in Raphael's eyes is even more pronounced. He even shrinks a little and even wants to reject my commission directly. However, now that he has rejected me, will he really have a chance to make a comeback?
As time passed, Raphael still did not reply. Seeing that it was time for dinner, I stood up and said, "Although what I just said made you feel distressed, I am not malicious, just pure. No matter you accept it or not, you are still Harold’s friend and my friend. Look at the magic wall clock. Now it’s dinner time, friend, I’m fortunate to be able to invite you to join me. Do you have dinner, including your daughter."
As soon as he finished speaking, little Betty's belly began to scream.
Raphael sighed deeply, sat up with difficulty, and said slowly: "Then, thank you very much."
Opening the door of the room, Harold and Jin Siqi were still waiting outside, Harold looked nervous, Jin Siqi did not respond, and kept looking at the files in his hand.
Seeing me coming out, Harold stood up hurriedly and greeted him: "How is it, did Rafael agree?"
I shook my head: "This matter is special, give him some time."
Jin Siqi stood up slowly and said, "It's dinner, should I go to the cafeteria or..."
"Go and eat on the airship" I said, "I will eat your favorite cuisine today."
"Okay" Jin Siqi smiled: "I've long wanted to try the specialties of Moonlight City!"
Boarded the airship, entered the restaurant, and took seats separately.
I can clearly feel Raphael's anxiety and Betty's nervousness.
"Relax," I said: "It's like being in my own home, otherwise, the food will become unpalatable."
Raphael was worried for a long time and finally said: "I can take the liberty to ask, you..."
"I'm just an ordinary adventurer. As for other identities, it is not convenient for you to know now. Of course, if you can directly accept my commission, you will soon know my next identity." I chuckled and said, "How , Do you want to know?"
Raphael was silent for a moment.
When the food was on the table, Raphael and Little Betty did not move the dishes, but put their elbows on the table, put their hands together, and muttered silently.
I didn't make a sound, I just spoke, and asked Harold: What are they doing?
Harold whispered: "Pray before meals."
I nodded, and did not move the chopsticks first, squeezed my chin, silently watched them finish their prayers.
The prayers lasted for about two or three minutes. Raphael and his daughter opened their eyes and saw me looking at them. They were a little embarrassed and said: "Sorry, this is...our habit."
I waved my hand; "Don't care about me, as I said just now, don't be nervous, don't be stuck, just do what you usually do here."
Raphael smiled bitterly: "Usually I always hold the purple heart."
As soon as he said this, he himself felt very presumptuous, and he couldn't help becoming nervous instantly.
Not only him, but even Harold became nervous along with it.
At the dinner table, only Jin Siqi and Little Betty were not nervous. Jin Siqi was silently selecting the grilled snails on one of the plates, while Little Betty looked curiously at Jin Siqi selecting grilled snails.
