Chapter 2: Nervous Rick

Chapter 2 Nervous Rick
"How did he drink this again?"
In the second half of the city, the derelict house, Quaid’s deputy, Nal Rick, looked disgustedly at the front of the bottle, drunk into a muddy Quaid.
"Take him up for a day, wake up and release it."
He waved his hand and let the two young fraternity members hold him down.
Looking at their backs, Rick snorted.
Drinking like this, it seems that he did not take the child.
Rick thought so, showing a mysterious smile.
Nal Rick - he prefers someone else to call his last name instead of his name - unlike the strength of the decline, from the hand to the nephew business, since then, the ruined Quaid, he is an ambitious and equally capable brother Member.
He used to study at the Sika City Accounting School in the south of the Kingdom. If it wasn’t because the scribe’s father had committed something, Rick could now be an accountant in a city department or even a family, and even further, become a certain It is not impossible for businessmen in the industry to do business.
When you spend money to buy a Lord, he can enter the first stage of the upper class of the Star Kingdom: three hundred years ago, the Shukadel family marked by the Chaoyang flower is not the same as this, and now it is not the kingdom. The famous family?
But even if it fell into a gang, and forever cut off the road of the nobility, Rick also believes that he is more qualified to be a person who has the right to talk in the fraternity than those who are full of muscles and women in his head.
When the Brotherhood's business expanded to the southern coast of the kingdom, Rick, who was a southern gang, was absorbed, played his specialties, and planned several human trafficking chains from the south to the capital, and was a great success.
So the high-level brothers of the fraternity noticed him and dispatched him to Yongxing City, the capital of the kingdom, the heart of the stars, the city of the Pearl of the western continent, and let him manage the fraternity accounts in the capital.
Yes, Rick knows that although the top executives let him do Quaid's deputy and account, it is tantamount to entrusting the fraternity's business in Yongxing City to himself.
Look at his "supervisor" Quaid, a terrible thug who used his knife and axe to cut his reputation in the old city of the lower city. Now it is a waste that will only look for dignity in the nephew, if not because Quaid is a brother. The son of the high-level team, he was already drowned by the mud that stepped on the slums of Yongxing City.
What's more, most of the deaf children's wear and tear is caused by him.
Of course, fortunately, Quaid’s father will give him a lot of management every month, and Rick will be able to profit from it.
There is such a son, if Quaid’s father is not the giant responsible for the arms trade, he has long lost power in the meeting.
What is the result of a gangster’s loss?
Rick shook his head and watched Quaid leave.
The nephew business, compared to smuggling drugs and arms, is less inconspicuous and humble than the eternal oil and leaching mine trades.
But this is his chance.
The Black Street Brotherhood has risen very quickly. In the face of more and more complicated underground situations, their people are often stretched: the confidants who join the enthusiasm are not reliable, and the peers who are half-way will not trust.
The future of the Brotherhood must depend on itself.
For example, take the complete human trafficking chain – from young children to women, from humans to elves – as a source for future members.
Among them, infants and young children are collected and raised by "Black Heart Widow" Beth, while selling a part.
A little bigger will be sent to Rick here, "beating" into a child.
A little bigger, the teenage nephew will be sent to the "iron" Locke, who is responsible for training the thugs, the training of the "Fa" Belicia, and other special heads, and then become a brotherhood. member.
Therefore, Rick, who manages the nephew, believes that he is in the fundamental chain of the Brotherhood’s population business.
Not only that, but here is the transport node of the future blood of the Brotherhood, and it is also attached to the small road intelligence network on the capital street.
Rick is very satisfied with this: I think about it, I am a new member of all future fraternities. I saw the leader of the Brotherhood when I first remembered. He can see who is a promising seed in his childhood. When you are in the right time, you will be envious. In the future...
Look, so say, I, Nal Rick, is an ambitious person.
And, and...
Rick is always very excited to think of this: and here is the city of Yongxing!
The Kingdom of Stars - the capital of the second largest kingdom of the western continent, the origin of the Black Street Brotherhood.
Being able to do things here means that the big brothers in the fraternity can always see, and if they can be seen, it means that you always have the opportunity to advance.
Of course, the chance of a disaster is not small.
Fortunately, Rick took his hand and looked at the drunk Quaid, who was far away, and raised his eyebrows: Fortunately, this guy was in a disaster.
In the moonlight, Rick turned his head and went on.
Looking at the dozens of abandoned houses in front of him, he knows that there are a lot of nephews in each of the abandoned houses, and these are the most important seedlings and chips when he climbs up in the future.
For example, the dark hair of the sixth house.
Two years ago, when Bethan, who was in charge of the baby, sent him, he showed a different attitude towards the child.
Sure enough, even today, this child is only eight years old (eight or seven years old?), but clever and embarrassed. He actually came up with the week before acting begging another way - a lovely child was the other big kids beating, took the money and food, and then, when he was hiding in the corner alone Chuiqi, passing ladies I can't help but give him more compensation.
Rick thought that the gangsters were too short of those who could brainstorm compared to those who were crying and exhausting.
When the child grows up, he will definitely climb higher.
You should give him a reward, so that you can win the praise of Teres. Of course, the reward without contrast is not to be grateful.
That's why, tonight, the boy in the same room with Tells told him that when Thales might have hidden money, Rick would ask Quaid to find the reason for his account.
Waiting for Quaid to smother Tyres, he will come forward to stop it, even if he does not hesitate to oppose Quaid (the waste is only useful for this), then Tyres will intentionally or unconsciously regard himself as a backer.
Rick didn't care if every child's money was paid. This is something that short-sighted people will care about. Rick knows that human relationships are more important assets than the money of a few coppers.
But the boy, the boy named Taylor, is still too smart.
Rick knows that whether or not Tyres has money for Quaid, the latter will torture him to death. In fact, if Tyres really took out the money, it would only be worse.
But apparently the boy had escaped from this robbery - as usual, the eager Quaid would "carefully" concoct these disobedient children to help them, whether they were really disobedient.
Rick is a little embarrassed.
It doesn't matter, it's still necessary to do it.
Even if the effect is not good, it is a big deal to find a head, let Quaid hit him again.
Rick went to the sixth house and crossed the broken door.
He saw the weedy yard, and Tyles gasped and squatted on the floor, and the children next to him were smearing something for him - God, a few children, seven or eight years old, would actually be in the yard. Kind of Ould Dragon Leaf?
Rick frowned: Generally only experienced gang members and poor people who have lived for many years know that this wild plant can be used as a convenient and cheap trauma treatment herb.
"Ah! Mr. Rick!" Scorpion Ryan first discovered the arrival of Rick, the experience of being interrupted by a leg, making him more sensitive to the surrounding environment.
Quid had been away for less than an hour, and the fear in the yard had not dissipated. Ned, the boy on the whistle-blowing boy’s face had not disappeared, Kelly glared at his black face, while the older child Sinti succumbed back. step.
Especially the youngest girl, even scared to scream.
At first, Beth had told me that this is a hereditary descendant of the aristocracy. It is very likely to be a beautiful woman. Don’t break her up. Afterwards, Belize will adjust and gain a lot of profits.
Rick looked at the girl and whispered in her heart.
It's a pity that my nephew is ten years old and will be handed over to the meeting after she is 12 years old. If she can stay until she is fifteen years old... then send it away, otherwise she will be 13 years old.
"Mr. Rick!" Taylors interrupted Rick's subtle thoughts, only to see him turning his head hard, implicating the injury on his back, and hurting his teeth.
"Oh, sorry, Teres," Rick sighed, showing a pitiful expression:
"I can't stop him... Quaid... I am only his deputy after all, and I can't sin against his backstage."
"I can only come quietly afterwards," Rick squatted down, and looked at Tells's injury with anxiety. "Fortunately, he didn't have a heavy hand today, otherwise..."
"Mr. Rick, I'm fine," Tyres struggled. "I'm sorry, my money last week was..."
"Forget about the money!"
Rick took the broken bowl in the hands of Sinti, dumped the water inside, took off a few pieces of Ould's dragon leaves, picked up a stone and started grinding:
"You were sent to me when you were sensible. In a few years, I watched you from the shivering little guy and turned into a thick and rough child. For me, you are far more important than a few coppers. many."
There was a trace of pain on Rick’s face: "You are not supposed to go to the streets to beg at this age, but this is the rule of the Brotherhood..."
"Mr. Rick," Tyres seemed to be moved. He tightened his fist. "I..."
"Come on, grinding the herb with stones is better than chewing." Rick wiped the herb in the bowl and applied it to Tyres. The next Kelly bit his lip and choked.
"Thank you, Mr. Rick," Celia said quietly. "If you come to control us, not Quaid."
Thank you, dear, Rick’s heart is contemptuous.
"Do not let Quaid hear this," he smiled helplessly. "To be honest, I am afraid of him."
A few children will also smile with a smile - Rick knows that showing the common sense and sense of humor in a timely manner is a good way to accept yourself.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Rick." Taylors solemnly said that he knows that in many people's eyes, he seems mature, so there is no need to behave too much.
Rick nodded:
"Protect yourself, you are a smart child, I believe you can do it well."
Tyres nodded in a difficult position.
"Right," Rick looked like he suddenly remembered. He handed the bowl to Ned, took out a purse from his waist, and handed it a sigh of sin:
"I have to turn over every month, and I don't have much money. Here are thirty bronzes, go to the Grove pharmacy store - that is the one at the junction of Shuguang District and Xiacheng District - buy some medicine, this money It should be enough, if the drug price does not increase."
Of course, the money is not enough, Rick thought so.
I went to the Grove pharmacy a week ago and most of the drugs have raised prices.
What can they do if the money is not enough?
Of course, it’s taken from the money that begged, so that their money next week is definitely not enough. At that time...
"Be careful when buying medicines, don't let other people know, especially Quaid."
Rick said with a smile, stood up.
Of course, Rick thought, Quaid would know.
If they don't take the money to buy medicine, that's better.
Quaid will know: they really have hidden money.
Rick's mouth is slightly tilted.
At that time, they will be able to reap their last loyalty.
"Mr. Rick," said Corlia, looking at the purse in the hands of Sinti, and she was about to drop her tears. "You, you are such a good person."
Nied on one side bit his lip and nodded.
Even the big child, Sinti, was touched. He touched the purse in his hand and licked the weight.
Rick sighed and shook his head as he moved:
"No, I should apologize, I can only do this for you."
"Mr. Rick," Tyres squatted on the floor, but looked at Rick with a hesitant face. "I don't know..."

Well?
Rick raised his eyebrows.
What happened?

"I heard that if we are not sold to orphanages or other people... then when we grow up, we will be assigned to other places to train," Tells asked cautiously, seemingly afraid of offending Rick:
"That... we have finished the training, can we do things under your hands?"
Hearing this, one side of Kelly, Ned and Kelia also looked at Rick hopefully.
Hey, Rick snapped his heart.
Score.
Faster than you think.
"Oh, what about this," Rick burst into a sunny smile:
"Don't look at me like this. In the Brotherhood, I am an ideal man."
Rick smiled and bent down and touched the hair of Tyres, making him more intimate:
"My boys will be the best and strongest in the entire fraternity!"
This is my truth, Rick’s heart.
"So, you want to be my men, but you have to work hard!"
"Ok!"
The children are full of hope and nostalgic, and Tyres is no exception.
"I am gone, Taylors, and the children," Rick turned and turned his head to reveal his side:
"The next time I encounter this kind of thing, tell me secretly, although I can't stop Quaid directly, but it is always possible to find some trouble and not let him approach you."
After that, Rick showed his white teeth and flashed in the moonlight.
He left the courtyard of the sixth house without returning.
"Mr. Rick is very nice." The tears on Ned's face were dry. "Not like the bad Quaid."
"Yeah." Celia nodded, full of eyes, as if she had eaten candy.
"But," Ryan, who had been in a state of fright, hesitated, and said: "I always feel that Mr. Rick is more scared than Quaid."
"So you are a coward!"
"Civil Ryan, how do you get money in this way!"
Only Taylors, after Rick left, his eyes gradually calmed down.
When he saw Sinti, counting the thirty copper pieces in the purse one by one, Thales exhaled a breath.
His back is still hurting.
He knows that a formal traumatic medicine is better for him.
But Taylors went to the Grove pharmacy yesterday morning, took the typhoid from Yanni’s hand at the back door, listened to her complaining, her petty boss, raised the price of medicine, even the traumatic drugs. It rose to forty coppers - just ten more copper than Rick gave.
However, he also knows from the daughter of the sunset bar owner, Yala...
Quaid’s spending in the bar is all responsible for Rick’s.
but……
[I have to pay every month, and I don’t have much money. 】
Rick’s words just echoed in the boy’s ear.
Taylor couldn't help but look at the bag of copper at hand.
The nephews have forgotten their fears and are fighting each other.
Only Tyres frowned and turned his head hard.
After glanced at his bruised back, he sighed and dropped his head heavily.
This world.

Rick, who is in a good mood, just went to the tenth house.
He is thinking that there is an eight-year-old child named Karak. He is a young and embarrassed character. When he beats and beats and pulls to his knees, he suddenly feels cold behind his neck.
Rick stunned.
This is his innate ability.
In absolute calmness - absolutely calm, a little diverted attention will fail - once there is a living creature close to the distance of about five meters, he will cool the back neck.
That's all.
But don't say that he is not a warrior, even if he is a warrior, with the powerful end of the swordsmen of the Kingdom's warning hall, the wealthy knights of the great aristocrats, the blood bottles for the old men who have retired from the ranks, and even other Compared with the abilities of the abilities, his ability is simply not worth mentioning.
Even the slightly strong beaters in the fraternity can put him on the ground.
But Rick felt that one day, this ability would save one's life.
For example, now.
Rick quickly turned back and searched the surroundings under the moonlight, putting his left hand into his pocket and pinching the small but deadly mini telescopic cymbal.
Bright moonlight.
Empty street.
Unmasked
But nothing is empty.
Some doubts of Rick took a deep breath and remained absolutely calm.
The coldness behind the neck is still going on.
Is it a crawling sewer that has climbed a mouse?
Rick turned in three different directions and ran for a while.
Just the cold neck that still exists, let him remove this conjecture.
Which mouse will be under him and follow him in 20 directions in three directions?
Rick’s heart became more and more frightened.
He shouldn't be alone.
Even if it is an abandoned house, it is the site of the Brotherhood.
He should bring twenty beaters, each with a magic gun, no matter how things are.
Just like the big brother Razanci Fasso, who is responsible for the drug trade in the Brotherhood, there are thirty people following in and out.
Even if the money is enough, he should hire two final swordsmen, or a power warrior, even if the magician can be - forget it, listen to Morris boss said that the magician can not afford it.
Nar Rick, you have to be calm.
He told himself: You must be in charge of the entire Yongxing City, or even the man in the underground world of the entire Star Kingdom.
Calm, be sure to calm down.
He turned strong and calmly, and walked back toward the road when he came, as if he was just doing fitness jogging.
Who is offended by yourself?
Does anyone want their own life?
Is there anything worth noting in this neighborhood?
Rick went out a few hundred meters, and there was no one around the moonlight.
But his back neck is still cool.
