Chapter 8 JC(2/3)
When I crawled out from the dead on the Western Front battlefield, this word no longer belonged to me.
This is not hot-blooded.
Cohen lowered his head, clenched his fists, determination and anger flashed in his lonely eyes.
This is the right thing and what must be done.
Miss Jorah's face turned even redder, and she suddenly realized that from Cohen's perspective, she could have a panoramic view of the proud scenery comparable to the Gulao Mountain in her professional uniform, and - this is very important, let me say it three times -
He is handsome, he is handsome, he is really handsome!
Hongfang Street?
Cohen narrowed his eyes.
The next moment, I saw him with a cold look on his face. Without even looking, the fist clenched in his right hand suddenly flipped over, as if a strong wind was blowing in front of the door of the director's office!
"call!"
When the strong wind dissipated, Cohen was gone.
Also missing was his sword on the sword stand.
Miss Jorah was left gnashing her teeth, ruthlessly tearing at her long red hair that was messed up by the gust of wind.
Beside her, the pile of scattered documents had been blown into a pile by the wind and stood neatly on the ground.

In the director's room, Luobik closed his eyes helplessly and sighed.
Compared to Hongfang Street——
The big shot had a more troublesome request for him.
Find out from the Sunset believers who enter and leave the West City Gate why the Sunset Temple has sealed the inner altar.
Those religious lunatics, Luobik shook his head, how could he dare to provoke matters regarding the oracle?
Especially that shrew, the Sunset Goddess.
Bah bah bah!
Luobik shook his head and threw this thought out of his mind.
Three hundred years ago, if I had just had this thought, I would have been sacrificed in the temple of the Sunset Goddess and thrown into the tribunal, right?
From this point of view, although the two magic queens are also shrews with bad tempers, they still did some good things.
Bah bah bah!
Luobik shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind.
A hundred years ago, if I had just had this idea, I would have been thrown into the Demon Power Prison by the Imperial Demon Guards in the Queen's territory, right?

Time returns to the present.
"You said you killed Quaid?" Yara looked at Thales in shock, as if she really knew him for the first time.
"Yes, and," Thales extremely calmly made a seemingly excessive suggestion to this beautiful and dangerous young woman:
"Please help the four of us escape from the Third District of Lower City."
Thales wasn't trying his luck.
During the four years of begging in an abandoned house, his world was not only dark. In addition to the few children who helped each other in the same house, Jenny, the helper of Grove Pharmacy, and the seemingly unapproachable female bartender in front of him
——By the way, is she really just a bartender? She is one of the few warm colors that Thales has found in this world.
Three years ago, if it hadn't been for her, she would have been bitten to death by the angry wolf dog raised by Morris when she was looking for food in the garbage dump outside the Sunset Bar.
Morris muttered for a long time after that, why the angry wolf dog he had raised for six years ran away and disappeared without being familiar with it.
"Say it again?" Yara seemed to have heard the most unbelievable words, such as the return of demons from hell to the world or the arrival of gods from heaven.
"I mean, I want to ask you-"
But Yara interrupted him.
"You have just killed the most terrifying force in the underground world of the Star Kingdom, the leader of the Black Street Brotherhood in charge of the beggar business in Yongxing City, and the only son of the arms boss "Iron Heart" Sandara Roda, Quaid Roda."
Yara finished speaking in one breath, and with a pale face, stretched out her slender index finger and poked Thales hard on the forehead.
"Then, you still want me to protect you, betray the 'most terrifying force in the underground world of Star Kingdom', and escape under the manhunt and pursuit that the Black Street Brotherhood will definitely come?"
"Um, that's not quite accurate," Thales rubbed the fingerprints on his forehead and said with a smile under Yara's murderous gaze, "But, that's probably true."
Yara digested the news for a long time. Although Thales was anxious, he still waited silently.
Yara came back to her senses and sighed. But her expression quickly returned to indifference and coldness.
"Humph, fighting the entire fraternity for you? Do you think I look like such a good person? No, it should be, do you think I look like a good person?"
"You don't need to meet people from the Brotherhood!" Thales said eagerly.
"We have our own escape plan. You just need to give us some food and supplies, and help us hide it from the eyes and ears of the Brotherhood on the way from the Third District of Lower City to Hongfang Street! This is easy for you!"
"Please!" Thales said solemnly, "We only have you to rely on, Sister Yara!"
However, Yara didn't seem to buy his account.
"Humph, you are just a little beggar."
Yara sneered: "I am considered a member of the Brotherhood after all. Why do you think I won't immediately hand over you, the murderer of the Brotherhood leader, and those accomplices?"
Thales was silent for a moment.
Yara tilted her head and waited for his answer with a half-smile.
"Because I believe you."
Yara was stunned and failed to catch up with Thales' logic.
"What?"
I saw Thales speaking firmly and firmly:
"Because I believe in you and want to be a good person!"
Yara was stunned.
Did you get the wrong script?
So - well, to use his weird terminology, he can actually say such a "secondary" silly thing?
Isn't this kid very mature?
And after all, he is a member of the Brotherhood, a man beaten out of a beggar's den, why suddenly - have you watched too many dramas in the Temple of Night recently? The story of the friendship between the hero Sara and the prophet Kai Peng?
Or was his head broken by Quaid?
But Thales took a deep breath, and the next words left her speechless for a while:
"I know that almost everyone in the Brotherhood is scum and villains. They are all perverts with blood debts, wolves and demons in human skin. Sympathy and goodwill, conscience and mercy are not for them even those in the gutter.
It’s worse than mud.”
"They sold destitute girls to brothels, maimed desperate children, sold drugs to teenage girls, extorted hard-working businessmen into penniless situations, and sold farmers who were victims of natural disasters to sell their children.
Force them to starve to death, take those who can't pay their debts to the desert and sell them as slaves, and work with the degenerate nobles to run the most ugly secret."
"But I also know that many of them are forced to make a living. They are all forced to do so. They have been exposed to it since childhood, and they are unable to extricate themselves. They all have reasons for survival, and they all have the reason of 'I can't help but do this'."
Become the Brotherhood's most vicious minion, its most ruthless thug."
"But because of this, I feel that if in such an environment and situation, in addition to survival, I can still persist, persist in a little sympathy, a mercy, a goodwill, a conscience, persist in doing something good and be a good person
, can give up the idea of making quick money with a sword, can give even the most depressed drunkard a free glass of ale, can give a cloak to the beaten woman, can in the cold and windy garbage dump, in order to save
He would not hesitate to kill the fraternity boss’s pet dog in order to sacrifice the life of a child he had never met, and in the next four years, he had been helping him, supporting him, and caring for him——”
Yara frowned tightly, and without realizing it, she began to bite her lower lip.
Having said this, Thales looked up at Yara, his eyes filled with sincerity and hope:
"Being able to do this, I think, is more difficult, more dangerous, and more difficult than being a pure bad guy in the Brotherhood, a bad guy who abandons his creed and conscience, is full of evil, and is happy and comfortable every day."
"Stop!" Yara raised her head reluctantly, her eyes red, "Kid, you are not mine, how can you, how dare you -"
But her words were interrupted by Thales indifferently.
"Yara Sarriton!"
"I've seen your knife skills of chopping a dog into three pieces, and I've seen you chop off the fingers of people who cause trouble. I also know that the drinkers in the Sunset Bar are afraid of you. I know that even Quaid and Rick, and even
Even Boss Morris is polite to you, but they dare not say anything when they know that you lower their purchasing price. I don’t know the meaning of the surname Sarriton in the fraternity, but I think you probably do too.
You used to be bloody and even murderous. Maybe your family and surroundings are members of the Brotherhood, and maybe your father, brother and sister are all criminals."
Yara did not interrupt him, but looked lonely and fell into a deathly silence.
"So, actually, I don't know whether you are a good person or not, or whether you can be considered a good person."
