Chapter 105: Let's go and do sothing big
Su'en saved Danny's three friends.
They got off in a neighborhood far from Green Street and started walking.
Along the way, both Danny and Nancy's three kids were excited.
But Su'en remained expressionless, replaying tonight's actions in his mind.
Although the illegally captured people in the basent were released, not many of them could escape. The control of the gang in the area far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. Those who looked like holess people and orphans couldn't run far with just their legs. Even if they hid, they were easily discovered because they were unfamiliar with the area.
Su'en was not sure if the Steam Party would exclude those who were not caught, and rembered Nancy and the others, then traced back to Green Street where the arrests were made, and looked for clues.
Although the possibility was small, Su'en knew it was best not to leave any hidden dangers.
After all... this incident also involved that S-class wanted criminal.
If only a few gang mbers died and a few captured orphans escaped, the Steam Party might not go to great lengths to pursue the culprit.
But if the inner city umbrella organization discovered that woman had been there, things would beco complicated.
Before Su'en ca, he also thought that the Steam Party was only involved in "illegal human trafficking," but now he realized there were so problems.
The batch of illegally captured people were ant to be "delivered," but delivered to whom?
Who would accept such a batch of low-quality slaves? After all, half-grown children and holess people were not as valuable as young won.
Moreover, judging from the mories Su'en extracted from those bodies, this "delivery" had been going on for a long ti.
This indicated that the recipient had a great demand for people.
Ordinary slave business couldn't handle so many "low-quality" people.
When Su'en thought about that S-class wanted criminal, he felt that the situation might involve so other hidden issues.
.......
"I was so scared. I thought we were going to be sold to the at factory and turned into canned food..."
"The person I was captured with before said that the people in the inner city would raise so deford monsters as pets, and they would feed us to the pets..."
"..."
Along the way, the three kids chattered and shared their terrifying experiences of being captured with Danny, as well as the exaggerated legends they had heard.
"Oh, we can finally go ho."
"Susan's mom must be worried sick knowing we were captured."
"We owe it to Danny this ti, otherwise we wouldn't be able to co back."
When Danny heard this, he quickly looked at Su'en next to him and corrected them, "You should thank this gentleman. He saved you."
But he knew that Su'en probably didn't want to reveal too much information, so he didn't introduce how he had called for help.
"Thank you, sir."
The three kids were overjoyed and bowed to Su'en.
But Su'en shook his head and didn't pay attention to their gratitude. He poured cold water on them directly, "You can't go back to your place now, at least not for the next few months."
The three of them were stunned, "Ah? Sir... why?"
Su'en felt it necessary to explain the seriousness of the situation to them, so he said, "When I saved you, I killed several gang mbers. The people who captured you might rember that you ca from Green Street. If they see you again when you go back, it will not only harm yourselves but also your other companions."
"Ah?"
As soon as he said this, the three of them were instantly at a loss.
Thinking of the horror of those people before, they seed to be really scared. They stood in place, looking at Danny, and then at Su'en, "Then, sir... where can we go now?"
Su'en thought for a mont and took out a stack of banknotes, "Here is so money, enough for you to live in another place for a few months. I suggest you take the intercity train to the Marshal Street area in the East City District. It's the territory of the Crow Gang, and the Steam Party's reach doesn't extend that far."
Looking at the stack of green bills handed over by Su'en, the three of them simultaneously withdrew their hands and no one dared to take it.
"No, no, no... sir, we don't need money to survive."
"Yeah, sir, we can earn money ourselves."
"I can steal bread, I won't go hungry..."
The three of them looked at Su'en timidly. This large sum of money made them feel fearful.
The lives of orphans in the slums were cheap. Even if they searched for food in the garbage cans, they could still survive tenaciously.
Su'en shook his head and explained calmly, "This money is for you to avoid wandering on the streets for the ti being. Otherwise, it's easy for people to see that you are outsiders."
"But..."
"Take it!"
Before the three of them could say anything else, Su'en had already stuffed the money into the hands of the girl nad Nancy.
And at this mont, a distant "woo woo" sound ca from the train approaching.
With a threatening tone, Su'en said in a deep voice, "You take this train and leave. You can't co back for at least three months, otherwise, you might harm your companions."
He knew that scaring them would make it less likely for things to go wrong.
The three of them listened to Su'en's serious tone and had completely lost their attention. They could only turn their heads and look at Danny helplessly.
Danny knew the seriousness of the situation and also persuaded them, "Listen to this gentleman. He's right, you can't go back to Green Street now."
By this ti, the steam train had already arrived at the platform.
Feeling sad, but helpless.
The three of them turned back reluctantly to look again.
Beta weakly asked, "Danny, will we see each other again in the future?"
Danny thought for a mont and didn't dare to answer imdiately, but in the end, he looked at the expectant eyes of the three and smiled, "We will."
The girl Nancy timidly asked Su'en, "Sir, can we know your na? I will pay you back the money in the future."
"No need."
Su'en shook his head.
Thinking about it, he took out two pistols and a dagger and handed them to the three of them, "Keep these for self-defense."
"Oh."The train doors opened, leaving no ti for further farewells. The three of them carefully concealed their weapons and money under their robes, boarded the train, and journeyed into the distance.
.......
Two people stood on the platform, watching the three depart.
Su'en felt relieved, as if he had just sent away three little troubles.
Tears shimred in Danny's eyes. He knew he might never see these friends again in his lifeti.
He was well aware that Nancy and the others couldn't go ho, and neither could he.
Danny turned to Su'en and asked, "Sir, where are we going now?"
Su'en led him towards Green Street, "I'll rent another house for you near Green Street. You should stay indoors for a while."
"Okay."
Danny nodded, "What do you need
to do?"
After all, saving people was a transaction, and he hadn't forgotten to pay the price.
Su'en didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "You should prepare so ergency potions for the ti being. Make a list of what materials you need, and I'll bring them back for you the next ti I go to the black market. After a while, I might need your help with so things."
Danny nodded, already prepared to work long hours, "Okay."
The two of them walked back towards Green Street.
Su'en also asked about the "X Serum Project" and so details about the inner city.
Suddenly, he rembered sothing and asked, "By the way, Danny. Last ti you went to the black market, did you notice the top bounty on the list, the S-class fugitive from the inner city? Do you know her?"
He thought that since they were both from the inner city, Danny might know her.
To his surprise, Danny did know.
"Sir, are you talking about the silver-haired woman?"
"Yes."
"I don't know her, but I saw her once in the lab."
"Was she a mber of the research institute?"
"I'm not sure, but she wasn't a researcher, she seed to be a combatant. Once when I was at ho, I overheard my parents ntioning another top-secret project that our dical research departnt and chanical departnt were working on together, which seed to be related to her..."
"Do your parents know her?"
"They probably do..."
"..."
Listening to this, Su'en instinctively had a thought.
Danny's parents blew up the lab, and this woman happened to steal so research results and defected. Could these two events, separated by more than three years, be sohow connected?
.......
They chatted casually along the way, and soon they were back on Green Street.
Su'en was always efficient. Not long after they returned to Green Street, he rented a basent for Danny through a housing agency not far from his own rental.
This distance could avoid so trouble and they could also look after each other.
Because Danny's deford appearance was too conspicuous, and it was inconvenient for him to go out wearing a cloak, Su'en prepared plenty of food and water for him.
Fortunately, alchemists are real hobodies. As long as they have sothing to do, they can stay in the lab forever.
After waiting for a few days without any trouble, Su'en knew that the trouble at the "Black Baron Club" had probably passed.
Su'en's life returned to normal.
Since he got a complete set of textbooks from Mr. Black, he plunged into the study of theoretical knowledge and beca busy.
Not only textbooks, but also the vice principal's teaching plans and annotations, filled a storage ring.
The textbook content was easy to understand and progressive. As long as he followed the order of beginner, interdiate, and advanced reading, it was not difficult to understand.
Moreover, Su'en could read the textbooks very quickly because many knowledge fragnts had been stripped from his mind. Many pieces of knowledge in his mind felt strangely familiar when he saw them in the textbooks. By understanding so transitional content, he could connect the pieces of knowledge.
These textbooks were like a thread, stringing together the beads of knowledge.
Stringing beads into chains, gradually beca a systematic discipline.
Potions, enchantnts, implants, runes, alchemy spells, chanics, forging, mysticism, dicine...
Su'en was imrsed in the ocean of knowledge of this fantasy world, absorbing it like a whale.
His progress was rapid.
Especially in the field of chanical knowledge, his progress was simply incomparable to before.
The problem with the "Spider Bomb" that had always failed before was found. With theoretical support, he could even improve the previous design drawings and create a more perfect spider bomb. The "Iron Man Mark II" also had many technological innovations...
Through systematic learning, his rune drawing skills and forging skills also improved significantly. Because of the more perfect skills, the rune puppets he made now were much more powerful than before. He could also slowly start to try to make those high-difficulty interdiate puppets...
The sa was true for alchemy spells and mysticism.
Once the principle is understood, everything else follows.
.......
Su'en spent every day in the basent, planning a detailed and regular schedule for himself.
Exercising, studying, tinkering with machinery and puppets, occasionally going to the shooting range...
He strictly followed the schedule every day, and the data on the panel visibly increased.
The peaceful and fulfilling days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Su'en originally wanted to continue staying at ho, but Kay ca to find him.
The forr boss of Green Street, who was bored as a commander without a territory, seed to have nothing to do every day. In the end, he couldn't stand the loneliness and found Su'en.
"Let's go, brother, let's pull off a big job!"
On this dark and windy night, Kay had an excited expression on his face, as if he was taking his brother to make a fortune. He said mysteriously, "I got a secret tip. The Steam Party will be transporting a batch of 'top-grade chanical equipnt' from the inner city tonight..."
