Caroline instantly felt that something was wrong, judging from Livia’s panic.
Is Boss Neymar dead?
Shouldn’t it be Joseph, who came from the neighboring district, who died?
She saw with her eyes how Joseph died tragically. His throat was pierced with a knife. Blood splashed on the glass with no possibility of surviving. She even clearly remembered the scene when Joseph died. It was horrific.
Even at this time, she could imagine how painful Joseph was at the time. But why did Livia say that it was Boss Neymar who died? Did the ruler of this territory die in his own house?
Could it be it was all because of the magical trade I experienced? Did the club kill Boss Neymar to save me from danger?
Wait, no… Maybe it was the murderer, who killed Joseph, killed Boss Neymar as well.
Caroline took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Under her rapid palpitations, she recalled the scene she saw from the bathroom. Joseph was on the upper floor of the villa, and the upper floor wasn’t available for anyone to attend. Joseph was probably discussing business with Boss Neymar at the time.
Even when Joseph died, Neymar was on the scene. It was Boss Neymar who ordered someone to kill Joseph. Was it a typical gang fight or something else?
But, why did Boss Neymar die?
“Boss Neymar… is dead?” Caroline felt that she knew too little information and hurriedly asked, “Why?”
Livia poured a glass of water at this time and drank it in gulps. She seemed to have eased her panic, but her face remained pale because of the immense panic. She shook her head at this moment, “How would I know? When the accident happened, I was having sex with a man! If it weren’t the boss’s subordinates rushing in suddenly, I wouldn’t know!”
Livia seemed to be recalling the situation at the time, “Later, we were brought to the living room. Did you know? Ronal went crazy at that time! He is Boss Neymar’s younger brother and has always admired his brother a lot. He was despondent! While tearing, he pointed the gun at many people’s heads one-by-one. He went completely crazy!”
Caroline had also heard about Ronal. He was an orphan but adopted by Neymar when he was young. Many people knew him as Neymar’s little brother. Over the years, Ronal had conquered a huge territory for Neymar and was one of the core people of the gang.
“Then…” Caroline could naturally imagine the situation at that time.
Neymar represented the order of this area. His death also represented the collapse of order. This time was undoubtedly a disaster for the gang headed by Neymar.
“Later, they interrogated each territory one by one, but in the end, they couldn’t find out any clues.”
Livia patted her chest and said, “Furthermore, everyone in the villa knew each other. We can testify to what each of us was doing. Not only was Boss Neymar dead, but I also saw them take Joseph’s corpse out. Oh, it’s Joseph from the neighboring district I told you about!”
Caroline nodded subconsciously.
Livia swallowed her spit, “Oh my God, do you know how Joseph died? A large part of his throat was severed, although his head was still attached to his neck and almost fell out! You don’t even know how much blood was shed! Almost half of his body was covered with blood… It was terrifying!”
Caroline sat down on the chair while offering Livia a glass of water.
“…I heard them whispering. It seemed that Boss Neymar and Joseph were discussing something at the time, and there seemed to be another man present. But at that moment, no one could find that guy. I heard Ronal seem to say something like ‘Mr. Song is gone.’ They mentioned some kind of “flower.” I didn’t hear the flower name clearly.”
Livia shook her head, “Later, they let us all go, but they also warned us not to leave this area casually. When I came back, I took a glance. All the exits were heavily guarded. Anyone leaving the place would be checked and interrogated!”
“It looks like something big happened…” Caroline murmured.
Livia suddenly asked suspiciously at this time, “By the way, how did you come back? I don’t remember seeing you at that time? Later, I looked for you and found nothing other than this.”
Livia took out a bag from the bag she was holding in her hand. It was Caroline’s bag.
Caroline had no choice but to say perfunctorily, “I ran into a customer who liked excitement. He took me out to his car and sped around. Then, we did it in the car.”
She glanced at Livia’s expression and continued, “I feel a little tired after doing it. It’s too tiring to do my work in the car. I asked that guy to send me back. I didn’t expect to leave my back behind. I thought I lost it somewhere, but it turned out to be left in the villa. I was worried for a long time!”
Livia nodded, didn’t doubt anything, and said casually, “No wonder I heard the doorman saying that they saw you walking out with a man.”
“Really…” Caroline’s face changed slightly.
The doorman said so?
That would be impossible!
At that time, she escaped frantically! Moreover, the villa’s guards were chasing her. How could the guards testify for her? They were under Boss Neymar’s!
What she told Livia was just a temporary lie!
Yes… it’s that mysterious shop! That boss!
Could it be that he had predicted that I would tell such a lie a long time ago? Hence, he did something to get the guard to testify for me?
But… how could he know that I would use this excuse and subsequently make the doorman say “saw me leaving with a man” but nothing else?
In an instant, Caroline became more and more scared of the peculiarity behind this matter. The more she thought about it, the more she felt a mysterious and weird power behind it. It was like a huge net woven and engulfed her. She rubbed her forehead with some horror.
Perhaps… the nightmare has not been resolved but has just begun?
“What’s the matter with you? Caroline? Caroline?” Livia looked over at this moment with concern.
Caroline shook her head at this time and said casually, “Isn’t it a bit scary to hear a piece of news like this?”
Livia thought so deeply. She was also afraid and worried, “Yes! Once Boss Neymar dies, I don’t know what will happen in the gang. Who will take over the position next? I’m afraid no one will accept it. The worst situation is that there will be an internal fight in the gang. Once this happens, this place may not be peaceful for a long time.”
The gang controlling the slum had given the order to the locals. Of course, the entire slum was naturally affected when the order collapsed from within.
“Ai, let’s not talk about it!” Livia stood up, “I’m going to take a shower first, and then get a good night’s sleep! Whatever is going to happen next, let it go to hell! Oh… By the way, this is your salary. The referrer paid us when he left. I took your portion for you.”
Livia took out a few banknotes from her wallet and placed them in front of Caroline. She blinked and said, “This is for this month’s rent.”
Caroline put the cash away in silence.
Caroline, who particularly liked banknotes, wasn’t happy at this moment. Livia found it strange, but she soon accepted it since such a big event had happened.
Caroline basically couldn’t sleep that night.
She held the bank card. Her guts told her that she should go to that place again and ask the young and mysterious boss what happened.
This was the first night when she was holding her favorite banknote but couldn’t sleep peacefully.
Momo heard the sound of insects. He opened his eyes and felt the scorching brain in the lungs invading his brain. But compared to before, the pain seemed to have alleviated.
He subconsciously looked at his body and found that a bit of mushy stuff was applied to the fatal wound. Nevertheless, refreshing coolness was still faintly exuding.
Who saved me? Where’s Zhan’er?
Momo sat up in horror. But this action worsened the injury, giving him the urge to vomit blood. But then, he found Zhan’er was right next to him!
However, Momo gasped as he saw clothes on Zhan’er’s upper body were removed. A woman in white clothes was looking at the talisman at Zhan’er’s back!
Momo’s eyes narrowed subconsciously.
The woman said calmly at this time, “19 meridians of yours have sustained a fatal injury. If you don’t want them to snap again, it’s better not to use your qi now.”
“Have you saved us?” Momo couldn’t figure out the origin of this woman. Though, she looked very beautiful.
But he could also faintly feel unusualness from the strange spiritual qi emanating from the woman.
The woman glanced at Momo briefly that seemed to say: Why do you ask such a superficial question?
Momo was stunned. He clasped his fists in both hands, “Thank you for saving my life. I will never forget it. But if you want to covet this talisman…”
With that, Momo couldn’t help but hesitate. If the woman was greedy, what could he do? He couldn’t even deal with an ordinary person now, let alone this mysterious woman.
“My dao is completely different from what this talisman represents. Why would I want it?” The woman shook her head, “I took a look out of curiosity.”
Momo was startled again. He then smiled bitterly. Although he didn’t believe what the woman said at the first moment, he was quite moved and said, “Yes. Our cultivation path is unique with our way and our sect from the beginning. This path has been decided very early on. Since we have made a decision, we should stick to it to the end. If we lose our own dao and our heart, our cultivation will be just mere jokes. Those who rob only have magical power, but they remain as empty shells. How can they ascend into an Immortal?”
The woman suddenly asked, “What are Immortals?”
Momo was taken aback, frowned. But he couldn’t tell what was in her mind. In the end, he could only shake his head resignedly and said with a wry smile, “To be honest, I don’t know what Immortals are. Is it longevity? Is it controlling the yin and yang and dominating the world? But that is only a manifestation of power. In my opinion, it can’t be completely regarded as Immortals.”
Momo sighed several times and looked at the woman in white. Then, he asked curiously, “So, what do you think is an Immortal?”
The woman in white did not answer or even look at Momo. Instead, she stood up and said calmly, “I have some medicine there. You can change it by yourself tomorrow. Don’t utilize your qi for three days. After three days, you can cultivate for a moderate amount to heal your internal injuries.”
“Are you leaving?” Momo got up with difficulty. This woman seems uninterested in this talisman!
It’s the emperor’s inheritance… maybe the secret of eternal life!
The woman in white did not respond, turned around, and left.
There was an impulse in Momo’s heart. He blurted out and asked, “Lady, what is your dao?”
“My dao is my way. Your dao is your way. Even if you know what my dao is, what can you do?” A delicate voice came.
Momo’s heart moved, and he seemed to understand something. He asked this woman what she thought Immortals would be, but she didn’t answer. It seemed to be the same reason.
Momo bowed with hands held in front. He said gratefully, “Thank you, lady, for the pointers. May I know your name?”
“Qin.”
The woman in white had disappeared at this time.
“Qin…” Momo lowered his head and said silently, then bowed deeply in the direction where the white-clothed woman disappeared. Then, he said in a deep voice, “Thank you, Miss Qin, for the rescue and guidance today. I will never forget it in this life and repay the favor!”
But he still didn’t know what Immortals were.
…
Caroline got up early the next day. She didn’t wake up Livia, who was asleep but went out alone. It was her first time going to the bank.
There were few banks here. Even if they were, they had many connections with local gangs behind them, so they could only be protected by them.
Caroline inserted the bank card into the machine, entered the password, and looked back and forth at the numbers displayed on the interface before leaving in silence.
She walked on the stairway somewhat at a loss.
On the way, she saw several of Boss Neymar’s men. One of them, Caroline even recognized, was one of the men who hunted her last night.
Their eyes met each other. Caroline’s legs shuddered, wanting to turn around and leave. However, what was unbelievable to her was that the man didn’t seem to know her at all. He just glanced at her strangely and led someone past her!
Caroline gritted her teeth. She sprinted. Following her memory back then, she found where she walked into the shop last night.
But to Caroline’s disappointment, when she came to this place again, all she saw was the ordinary grocery store.
The grandmother of the grocery store recognized her and said enthusiastically, “Caroline! I just bought some new condoms. Would you like to buy some?”
“No… I don’t need it for the time being.”
Caroline left again in despair.
…
After Caroline left dejectedly, there came a mysterious space distortion at the same spot where Caroline was. An old pine wooden door slowly opened at this time.
The club’s Boss Luo walked out leisurely while the maid took an umbrella behind him and followed.
It was raining heavily last night, but when the daytime came, the sun became venomous.
The maid said: Better to bring an umbrella, master.
In that case, why do you want me to wear shorts?
