Chapter 61 Claws and the Past

Armless Locke stood up, revealing the clear grooves on the skin on the inner side of his arm.
That must be some kind of skin prosthesis.
"I've given you the information. Come to my place for a drink or two when you have time."
She walked out and took away the bar girl and the burly bodyguard at the door.
【Claw Mercenary】
[External location: Cross Street, District 4, Juling City]
[Supreme Leader: The Man in Black "Godfather"]
[Note: People from the Giant Spirit City have polarizing opinions on this organization. Those who say it is good are very good, while those who say it is bad are very bad]
[Broken Arm Locke’s message: These people don’t care about your origin and identity. As long as you join, they will give you 10,000 Groshen for a mission, and they will definitely give it without delay. Their salary is equal to that of all the mercenaries in Djinn City.
Among the top three in the organization, the benefits are very good; if you are injured, you will get money; if you die, your family members or designated friends can receive high pensions]
[Broken Arm Locke’s message: How about it? Isn’t it exciting? But it comes at a price. Once you join the Talon mercenaries, you must obey all the orders of the “godfather” of the man in black, even if the order makes you commit suicide on the spot.
If you disobey orders, you are likely to face the pursuit of all the claw mercenaries. Many free people in Djinn City cannot accept this.】
Brother Lang looked at this information and recalled the words of the dead bearded man in his mind.
"It's an honest organization, don't trouble them."
He murmured to himself and repeated: "Don't go to the trouble of the employer behind you. You can't afford it."
Under the watchful eyes of Smoker and Potato Girl, Brother Lang made a decision: "Let's go offline first. This matter cannot be rushed."
…
Present life.
Late at night, the single-family villa area is particularly quiet.
"ah--"
With a feeble scream, Tudou Girl crawled out of the game cabin.
With her white nightgown, loose black hair, and pale skin from not having dinner, she looked like a female ghost crawling out of the TV.
"I'm so hungry, I'm going to die."
She lay on the giant skateboard, using her hands and feet, and tried to slide towards the landline phone at the corner.
Because she was too involved in playing games, she skipped dinner. Tudou girl has not done such a thing for a long time.
I have to say that the design of the landline phone in a place that can be reached even when lying on the stomach is very friendly to her!
Her half-sister once told her a scary fairy tale:
A long time ago, there was a silly daughter of a landlord.
On this day, the landlord and his family are going on a long trip, and it is estimated that it will take a week to go back and forth.
The landowner was very worried because his stupid daughter had to stay at home, but she would not go find food by herself for fear of starving.
So, he locked the silly daughter in a small room, placed a circle of meat pies around it, dug a big hole in the middle of one of them, and hung it around the silly daughter's neck.
In this way, the silly daughter only needs to open her mouth and take a bite when eating the cake.
After waiting for a week, the landlord's family came back and found their silly daughter starving to death. They were heartbroken.
It turned out that the silly daughter only ate the front bit of meatloaf and couldn't even turn the meatloaf at the back of her neck.
Tudou Girl complained about the logical loopholes in this horror story more than once, and also said how could there be such a stupid person.
But now, she suddenly realized that the "silly daughter" mentioned in the story refers to herself.
My sister was afraid that her dear old sister would starve to death in the villa, so she even made up such a story to warn her.
"Auntie, I'm so hungry."
Tudou Girl pressed the number keys and let out the roar of a hungry dragon.
There was the sound of pots and pans clattering on the other end of the phone, and within five minutes, the aunties from the housekeeping company opened the door and walked in with steaming meals.
It seemed that they were already prepared.
Tudou Girl happily chewed her food, and the aunts behind her thoughtfully hung her a fitted apron to prevent the food from falling and soiling her nightgown.
…
She will never forget that day.
Tudou Girl is actually not from Sichuan. If calculated based on her place of birth, she is from Dawan.
Her father is a wealthy local businessman in Daiwan, and her mother is from Shu.
That day, her mother was pushed into the emergency room, and the doctors and nurses were sweating profusely.
Two hours later, the exhausted nurse sister walked out of the emergency room door. When she saw her as a little girl at the door, she couldn't say anything.
The nurse sister swallowed back the "sorrow" that was about to pop out of her mouth and said that her mother was just asleep.
However, Tutu Girl has been smart since she was a child, and she also understood what death is early.
To die is to leave forever.
She cried heartbrokenly.
"You are here!" The uncle who usually cares about her the most ran over and said happily, "Little Tudou, you have been looking for me for a long time. Your father is going to marry his seventh wife, and now we can still catch up with the busiest time."
The little girl's eyes were red and swollen from crying.
"Be good, don't cry." The uncle touched her face affectionately with his beard, but he didn't hear her giggling as usual. "What's wrong? Your mother's health has gotten worse again?"
"Sir," the nurse sister said, "are you her family member?"
"I am."
The usually cynical uncle took the order handed over by the nurse with doubts.
Death notice.
The uncle was about to speak but stopped.
The disease progressed so quickly that no one had time to react.
Tutu Girl's mother was covered with a white cloth, while on the other side, her father held the hand of his new wife and they were married forever amidst the congratulations of the master of ceremonies.
How ironic.
She will never forgive her father, even if her father apologizes countless times.
When her mother was dying, she left all the assets of Shu to her, and also appointed her uncle who was the best to her to manage it on her behalf, and transferred the management rights to Tudou Mei when she came of age.
Tutu Girl took her mother's relics and returned to Shu. She lived in Shu, went to school, and studied in graduate school. She never said a few words to her father in these years.
This housekeeping company is actually a housekeeping company dedicated to the entire big family. Each member takes a part of the shares and receives the best service.
But nothing could compare to her mother, even though her mother was bedridden and recuperating all year round, her speech was always weak.
…
Don't think about this anymore.
Tudou Girl patted her face to relax her facial muscles.
Over the years, she has experienced robberies, school bullying, threats and inducements from relatives, and all kinds of troubles, and she has solved them all by herself.
Nothing can knock her down, and no one will ever mock her for having no father or mother.
The worst case scenario is to give up everything here, sleep in Qiaodong and eat cold cakes.
It's not like she has never done this kind of thing before.
Tudou girl dialed her sister's phone number.
The phone rang four times and was connected.
"Sister! Don't call me at one o'clock in the morning from mainland China!" My sister was particularly crazy about this call. "You're going to get wrinkles! You have to put on a mask again, it's so annoying!"
Tudou Girl looked out the window at the night sky, and there was only a bright crescent moon.
She pouted and said, "I miss you."
"Eh-" My sister's tone was full of disgust, "Why is it so sweet? It's so sweet that it makes you look like a single man with explosive hormones. Tell me, are you in love? If you resist, you will be strict, if you confess, you will be lenient!"
"No."
When my sister heard this answer, she suddenly lost interest in talking: "Sister, you are so boring. I will check the time this month and fly to your house for a walk. Don't lie in bed all day long, sister, you are so fast
It’s rotten!”
Tutu Girl hung up the phone and lay on the bed.
She's not rotten, she's obviously been exercising in the game.
