Seeing his mother walking away, Mertesa let out a breath and fell to the ground slumped.

Leyock looked at the direction where Beth disappeared with a complicated expression:

"How many years have you and Aunt Beth lived here?"

Mertesa snorted disdainfully.

Leyock frowned: "You know, Boss Morris can help..."

"That's what mom means!"

Mertesa interrupted him rudely: "She said that the fraternity has changed, getting bigger and more chaotic, and she doesn't want to stay any longer."

"Like this, we may not live well."

"But we can survive."

He stood up straight and stared at Leyock with jealousy and hatred:

"Not like you."

Leyock was silent for a while:

"I remember you were with Rhoda."

Mertesa laughed, his laughter full of spite.

"Of course! Roda! Iron-hearted Roda!"

"But hey, look at me," Mertesa turned around with difficulty and showed his severed arm, unwilling to do so:

"He doesn't need trash."

"And do you think that after so many years, apart from the boss's darlings like you, Steel Cone, and Thunder Ax, how many of us, the so-called 'Thirteen Generals', are still alive? How many?"

Leyock did not respond to his question, but looked deeply at Mertesa's broken arm.

"Count the days, Silent Killer," Mertesa snorted and shook his head:

"It won't last long anyway."

The two old acquaintances of the brotherhood looked at each other in silence for a long time.

"Mertesa, right?"

Thales stepped forward in a deep voice:

"What happened to the abandoned houses in the past few years?"

Mertesa glanced at Thales.

"What kind of battle is this?" The man looked at Lyock with disdain:

"Who are these three? Your new lovers?"

Layok's face turned cold, and his arm touched the handle of the knife again.

But Thales coughed.

"Look, Mertesa, people are watching us."

The prince smiled and gestured to the curious faces around him.

"So, the longer you stay with us, the more curious those who stole your pot - the sixth house, right - will be about what we talked about with you, or..."

Thales' smile faded:

"How much money did you give to you?"

Mertesa's expression changed:

"Pooh!"

Mertesa said bitterly:

"You must be Morris's kid, you are just as cunning as him."

But Thales didn't care and just stared at him quietly.

"Now, do you want to answer the question?"

"What happened to the abandoned house?"

Mertesa snorted twice, looked at Leyock and the other two big men, and then spoke unconvinced:

"If you still remember, Leyock, six years ago, on the day of the One Night War—"

Having said this, Mertesa glanced at his severed arm and sighed:

"Hold."

No one else spoke.

"Anyway, when we were killing people on Hongfang Street that day, something happened to the abandoned house."

"Rhoda's son was responsible for looking after this place, but the loser drank too much and killed a bunch of beggars, and the rest ran away in a large area..."

I drank too much and killed a bunch of beggars...

Thales listened to the story quietly, expressionless.

It seems like it’s someone else’s story.

Leyock narrowed his eyes:

"Quaid."

"I remember that trash, and I remember this."

Mertesa nodded glumly:

"Some people say it was a conspiracy by the Blood Bottle Gang, and that loser was tortured to death by a few beggars in the end..."

Thales unconsciously raised his hand and pressed the scar on his chest.

"But the worst part is, that guy's father is my ex-boss - Roda smashed up the Sunset Bar because of the beggar incident. I heard that he even killed the deputy who was running the abandoned house together with his son.

Cut some wine."

Thales frowned.

Mertesa shrugged:

"I know Rhoda - believe me, this is something he can do."

Leyock remained calm:

"I know that Boss Morris talked to Tiexin and they resolved the matter."

Mertesa said disdainfully:

"Solve this shit."

He looked at Leyock unhappily:

"After what happened, who in the brotherhood dares to take care of this mess like the abandoned house?"

Mertesa looked back at the homeless people around him:

"There is a precedent. If something happens to the beggar again, it will be a slap in Maurice's face. He will definitely settle the score with you;"

"Even if the beggar is in charge, it would be even worse - Rhoda is thinking about his son's affairs. If he knew that you were in charge of the beggar, he would definitely dislike you;"

"Maybe there will be a few restless beggars, like Quaid, who will wipe your throat while you are drunk..."

Mertesa smiled sarcastically, with a hint of self-destruction:

"If this is done, the only people who are willing to come to the abandoned house will be the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled!"

"Mertesa," Leyock hesitated for a moment:

"you……"

Mertesa sighed, his tone full of pain and disdain:

"Do you know what's more interesting? Rhoda always thought that his son's murderer had not been caught, so he asked me to stay here and wait for the beggar to come back and throw himself into the trap - look, there are so many reasons, one is thrown away

Good excuse for trash!”

He almost shouted the last sentence.

Throw yourself into a trap.

Thales subconsciously raised his head and looked at Mertesa again.

But Mertesa didn't care what his words had to do with the person in front of him, he just laughed at himself:

"You see, people like us... Hey, the beggars are just blind. They open the door at dawn and lock it at night. As they come and go, the beggars gradually become lazy and run away a lot. Besides, even the street business

There’s no more oil or water left.”

Mertesa said dullly:

"The new thugs are even less willing to come - Hongfang Street has just been captured, who doesn't want to go there to enjoy the blessings?"
