After Alantis left, Lu Xi looked at the two guards standing there like statues, shook his head indifferently. He leaned on the carriage, thinking about how he should pass this time.

At this time, a bloated figure came out of a magnificent courtyard next to it. It was a man about forty years old, wearing a gorgeous robe embroidered with herbs and gold silk lace, and holding a ruby-covered ivory cane in his hand.

Such an extremely luxurious outfit did not give the man much aura, but Lu Xi involuntarily thought of the colorful balloons in the amusement park. No matter how bloated it was, it would be like a break as soon as it plunged in.

The man walked to a carriage, and the coachman quickly opened the car door. Just as they were about to get on the car, a middle-aged woman in ragged clothes rushed out from somewhere. She was as thin as a garbled face, but she didn't know where the power came from, and she grabbed the golden-edged robe. Her dim eyes showed the light of praying.

"What's going on?" Lu Xi pointed to the woman who was obviously a beggar and said to the guards.

"Of course this is a beggar!" Although the guard stood on the ground, he still answered Lu Xi's question politely.

"No, I mean, why are beggars here?"

"Sir, joking," said the guard: "Why can't beggars come here?"

Are you a guard or a crosstalk? Lu Xi was immediately angry. Just as he was about to say something, the beggar woman had already pleaded: "Sir, please be fine..."

"Get out of here, your lowly beggar! You can't afford to dirty my clothes even if you can't afford to have a hundred!" The noble man screamed viciously. He pulled his robe hard, and found that he couldn't pull it. After he picked up his cane and knocked it on his face.

The woman used one hand to protect her head and face, but the other hand still held her robe tightly. She knelt on the ground, silently endured the man's beating, while begging: "Master, please be fine, I don't care, but my daughter..."

"Daughter?" The man in the robe paused for a moment, and his eyes soon stopped on a little girl in the corner.

It was a little girl who was only seven or eight years old at most, but had a pale and thin face. She hid in the corner of the street in a cowardly manner, watching her mother being beaten. Although her eyes were full of tears, she did not dare to come. However, although she was as thin as a thorny and pale, she had a pair of clear big eyes and a delicate mouth and nose, which could be seen as a beauty.

"Sir, please buy my daughter. Just give her some food and let her do whatever she wants..."

"Oh, are you going to sell your daughter?" The man nodded and looked at the little girl's eyes lit up, "How much?"

The woman looked at the man tremblingly, then hesitated to look at her daughter. Her teeth twitched with difficulty, and then she stretched out five fingers with a slight trembling: "Five, fifty silver carras. As long as you can give her a full meal, five, fifty, take him away..."

"Mom, mom, I don't want to leave, I want to be with mom, mom!" The little girl grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes tightly and wailed loudly.

The woman seemed unmoved and deliberately did not look back and contact her daughter's eyes, but at that moment, turbid tears had flowed out of her dim eyes uncontrollably.

Perhaps because he had seen too many scenes like this, the man in rich clothes was not touched at all. He licked the corner of his mouth: "It's too expensive, a horned eagle is worth a hundred, and now this little thing can't do anything. I have to raise her for at least a few years. Let's do it, just thirty."

"Three, thirty?" The woman was shaking and almost fainted.

"Just thirty! Do you sell it?"

"One hundred and fifty karlas! That's only ten kimmiras, I bought them!" Lu Xi said so and walked over.

"Ten Jinmira?" The woman looked at Lu Xi, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

"Boy, don't be troublesome!" The man stared at Lu Xi who was walking over.

"What's wrong? She's going to sell it, I want to buy it too. If you want to buy it too, you'll pay more than me?"

The man looked up and down at the other party and confirmed that he had not seen this young man in any social occasion. It must be that the children of a small country noble came to the capital to play, and he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick.

"My brother-in-law is a senator, where are you doing?"

"Well," Lu Xi tilted his head and thought for a moment, "You can barely be considered as the follower of Goddess Natia's sister."

"Ignorous country bumpkin, dare you play with me..." The man was furious. He opened his mouth and was about to start scolding, but he couldn't help but stop because Lu Xi had already stuffed his staff into the other party's mouth.

"You said, should I shoot a sour arrow or a fireball at this time?" Lu Xi asked with a smile, but the coldness in his eyes had been completely seen by the other party.

"Woooooo..." The man muttered and made a confused sound, and his legs began to sway. As for the coachman, he had already been silenced aside. He was just a servant. The struggle between a magician and a powerful playboy was simply the legendary "fight between gods" for him, just asking not to drag himself into it.

At the gate of the Military Affairs Department opposite, the two guards seemed to turn a blind eye and still stood like statues. At this time, the gate opened, and Alantis happened to walk out and saw the situation here at a glance.

"Lucy? What are you doing?"

"No, I'm just discussing the ownership of the product with others seriously."

Alantis looked at the trembling man, and a contemptuous smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Toru, is it you again?"

"Oh, do you know him? He is a senator's brother-in-law, and he is such a noble and powerful man." Lu Xi smiled and finally took back his staff.

The man named Tolu knelt on the ground, sucking his breath with cold sweat on his face. He raised his head and looked at Arantis, showing a pleading look.

"Mr. Alantis..."

"Get out quickly! I still think it's not enough to embarrass your sister and brother-in-law!"

Tolu was relieved and rolled onto the carriage, but disappeared in a flash. Lu Xi looked at the stunned mother and daughter next to him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to Alantis.

"Lend me ten gold coins."

"ah?"

"I will definitely pay it back."

Alantis looked at the mother and daughter and seemed to be a little clear. He took out a purse from his arms and put it in Lu Xi's hand.

"I'm afraid there are more than ten gold coins here?"

"You can buy something else. In contrast, I won't give you your birthday gift."

"Well?"

"Didn't you say that you just celebrated your seventeenth birthday. As a friend, you should express your feelings, but I really didn't have time to prepare, so I had to make do with the money. Don't be surprised."

Lu Xi shrugged, took out ten gold coins from his purse, and stuffed them into the woman's hand.

"Take these and go to the countryside to buy a few acres of land, or do some small business. Stop selling your daughter."

"Thank you, thank you..." The woman pulled the little girl and knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Thank you, Master, you are such a great person. Thank you, Miss, you are kind and beautiful, you are such an angel. The goddess will definitely bless you."

After saying the second half of the thanks, Lu Xi's face turned blue and red, but it was really hard to tell, so he had to pretend that he didn't hear it.

Lu Xi walked to Alantis and threw his wallet back.

"I will pay you back the ten gold coins just now. I must make up for the birthday gifts when I find time."

Alantis couldn't help laughing. He took the purse and saw Lu Xi standing there, with a complicated expression watching the mother and daughter's backs disappearing slightly tremblingly at the end of the street.

"Don't think about it. This kind of thing can happen in every city in the federal government. You can help one person, but you can't help everyone."

"This is the situation, I'm not so arrogant that I think I can help everyone. I'm just a little puzzled... The houses around me can tell at a glance that they are rich areas, right?"

"Well, it's true. But it's not the best residential area." Alantis pointed to a hillside covered with lush forests in the distance. In the green gap, the gorgeous houses were vaguely visible. "The senior officials, MPs, and chaebol leaders all live there. They are the real rulers of the Federation. However, the entire area there is under the protection of the guards, but it is not the place where the mother and daughter can enter just now."

Speaking of this, Alantis couldn't help but sneer: "Man has drawn himself and the people out of the area, artificially creating a high-level view of the superior people. This is the so-called country in heaven and the truth of federal democratic politics."

"Why didn't Master Russell live there? He is a high-ranking official who can't be even taller."

Alan spread his hands and said, "The people living there are all the teachers' enemies. The teacher himself said that he is not as thick-skinned as a neighbor with a group of enemies, and he says 'Good morning' every day with a hypocritical smile."

Lu Xi looked at the mountain in the distance, then looked at the inconspicuous official residence of the Federal Minister of Military Affairs next to him, and couldn't help but smile: "Sure enough, this house is still more pleasing to the eye."

Alan also laughed: "The teacher will definitely be very happy when he hears you say this. Please come with me."
