My eyelids closed heavily, then were forcefully opened again.

One moment, one moment.

The old leopard tried hard to open his eyelids, but he couldn't muster any strength at all.

Before me lay boundless darkness, and the metallic taste in my throat grew even stronger.

Let's just sleep like this...

Get some sleep, and everything will be alright.

He was an orphan and had no right to go to school. In Old Leopard's world, from the day he became aware of things, he was accompanied by boundless darkness.

He needed to fight, he needed to be aggressive, in order to snatch some food or money from other thugs.

He wasn't a good person; his only concern was for his younger siblings in the orphanage.

For Lao Bao, he was the oldest child in the orphanage at the time, and the director asked him to take care of the younger brothers and sisters, which was his responsibility as an older brother.

Old Leopard believed it.

Perhaps, if Old Leopard had the opportunity to receive an education, he probably wouldn't have believed what the dean said.

They will have a completely different life.

But he didn't have that opportunity; his different understanding led him to be particularly simple-minded.

Since being ruthless can bring him money, he might as well keep being ruthless.

If you're ruthless enough, no one will look down on you, and you'll be able to make money.

Therefore, upon learning of the Gemini's reward, Old Leopard was immediately tempted.

He desperately needed the compensation. The orphanage was already dilapidated, and the director couldn't attract any new investment. If things continued like this, the orphanage would be unable to make ends meet and would have to close down.

Old Leopard is doing well. He has now established himself and can earn a lot of money as a henchman, which is more than enough to support himself. He can even experience the life of the upper class.

But there's not much that can be done about the younger siblings who are still in school.

They haven't finished their studies and need money.

The reward for Geminis can bring them money.

Old Leopard was selfish. Although he wasn't smart, he knew the principle of too many monks and not enough meat. If he didn't get rid of his competitors as soon as possible, others would come and steal his money.

Old Leopard had long since treated the promised but unfulfilled reward from the twins as his own money.

So, the old leopard jumped out, intending to eliminate these three competitors first.

but……

"I'm so tired..."

Old Leopard let out a long sigh, his lips trembling slightly. The sigh seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, as if he had unloaded all his burdens and relaxed completely.

He fell heavily to the ground, his eyes wide with resentment, without any struggle, as if he were asleep, blood flowing freely, forming a blood-red bed.

In the first half of his life, when he was still very young, from the day he became aware of things until now, he has never lived a single day for himself.

He always felt very tired, but couldn't figure out why.

Now, he has found it.

"A clown."

Zhuang Zhuliu turned his back and slowly closed the long sword at his waist.

With a sharp "whoosh," the sword returned to its sheath, signaling the outcome of this incredibly fast-paced battle.

Just like casually killing an insignificant chicken, many people only had to yawn before the old leopard was already dead.

The death of a person in full view of everyone would cause a great deal of panic outside, but here, many people don't even bother to lift their eyelids.

However, after seeing Zhuang Zhuliu's warning glance, they realized there wouldn't be a second good show tonight, and wisely left.

"It's boring..."

Lyman sighed dejectedly, "Judging from this guy's arrogant tone, I thought he could at least exchange a few blows with you... but he couldn't even withstand a single sword strike? Isn't the confidence of you Chinese people based on your own strength?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhuliu's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, then he turned around and walked back, saying calmly, "He's just stupid."

"Yeah... alright, the others shouldn't cause any more trouble with us. Hey, big guy, do you need more time to prepare? If not, let's just catch Xia Che quickly and kill him."

Lyman tilted his head slightly, looked at the boxing champion and chuckled, "As we agreed before, you're in charge of stopping those clueless guys. You'll get three-tenths of the reward after it's done."

"Um... I'm fine! Anytime is fine."

The boxing champion nervously swallowed hard and forced a smile.

whispering sound……

His fist clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

This woman changed her mind again?

It was clearly agreed from the beginning that everyone would split the profits equally and keep what they needed.

But just before the performance, the score changed from 50/50 to 40/60, and now I'm telling myself... it's become 30/70?

damn it……

That's a bit too much!

What will it be next time?

Is it 28?

Still 19?!

The boxing champion was filled with resentment, but his mind remained clear.

Reason was like a rein, tightly binding him and preventing him from making the slightest rash move.

Zhuang Zhuliu's move was not only meant to intimidate those who wanted a piece of the pie, but also to warn himself not to have any other ideas and to just cooperate with them obediently.

If you comply, you can get a share of the profits; but if you have any improper thoughts, the boxing champion has no doubt that the next person lying on the ground will be someone else.

There's no need to even think about it.

"Let's go, this is really boring..."

Lyman hugged his teddy bear and gestured towards the kitchen, "Since we're here, I want to eat the best pastries in China!"

"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Once the boxing champion realized this, he didn't dare show the slightest dissatisfaction. He chuckled awkwardly and pushed his wheelchair toward the kitchen.

"..."

Throughout the entire process, Zhuang Zhuliu secretly observed the boxing king. After realizing that there was nothing strange about the other party, his dry hands gradually left the sword hilt, and he slowly followed.

"Know your place."

He said softly.

"So? Do you still doubt what I said?"

Bubble reached out and poked Xie Linlin, who was lost in thought. Noticing that Xie Linlin's gaze was fixed on the pool of blood on the ground and the old leopard's corpse, Bubble frowned slightly: "You wouldn't... have never seen a dead person before, would you?"

A sense of absurdity rose in her mind.

How could someone who can accept the Twins quests have never seen a dead person?

This is ridiculous.

But Xie Linlin's expression didn't seem to be faking it...

"No...no, I was just thinking about something and my mind wandered."

Xie Linlin's heart tightened, realizing she had given herself away. She took a deep breath, forced a smile, rolled her eyes at Bubble, and said, "How could I not have seen a dead person? Don't joke around. Who among the people who can come here is a good person?"

In fact, she had never seen a dead person.

At the very least, I've never seen a dead person killed right in front of me.
