Jessie is kind and gentle, but she doesn't understand Joey.
It is difficult for people who live in happiness and warmth to understand the pain of a person who suddenly loses everything.
What's more, this incident that caused Joey to lose everything was not necessarily an "accident."
The mission of this copy is to "investigate the cause of the accident at Anvis Mechanical Factory".
There is a "reason" for this "accident".
Judging from Joey's current experience, this "reason" may not be very bright.
When He Ao packed everything up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning. The bright sunlight shined through the open window and onto the living room floor that was still stained with water, reflecting crystal light.
He Ao glanced at the date, today is Sunday.
In the past, Joey's father would get up very early to make breakfast on this only day off every week, dragging his bleary-eyed son to enjoy the early morning sunlight.
Joey's parents are not highly educated and started to make a living after graduating from community middle school.
The father seldom spoke, and his logical ability was no longer able to win over his son, who was studying in a private high school and had excellent grades. Whenever Joey and he had an argument, he would blush and raise his hands, then silently put them down, walk to the balcony, and light a cigarette.
At this time, the mother will come over and give the father and son some mud.
But most of the time, my father is actually silent and gentle.
He Ao picked up Submachine Gun on the table, pulled the bolt, and heard a crisp sound from the mechanical impact.
After confirming that there was no problem with the gun, he put away the Submachine Gun, walked to the corner, unplugged the charging plug of the Combat Suit, and put it on. At this moment, the battery of the Combat Suit was fully charged. Then he put on a baggy trousers and jacket over the Combat Suit.
Fortunately, Joey used to be fat, and these loose clothes can barely cover Combat Suit.
In the morning light, He Ao had already tested his martial arts practice, but it was obvious that Joey had no Martial Arts Talent, and his talent was even far inferior to Ander.
The energy that entered Joey's body disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
Joey is such a person, ordinary, simple and ordinary.
There is no luxurious family background, no amazing talent, just a warm and ordinary home.
This family has been burdened with a thirty-year mortgage, earning a meager salary, and living a simple and difficult life.
This may be just one of thousands of ordinary families in Dawn City, but it is all of Joey.
After paying off the mortgage, all debts, and funeral expenses, only 35,000 yuan was left in the parents' compensation. Joey, who was just a student, had no way to continue to pay the property taxes on the house and his own living expenses. Even if he sold the house left by his parents, he would not be able to support himself while paying the high tuition fees at a private university. The value of a degree from a community college was not as valuable as the high school he was attending at the moment.
His only option was to give up the opportunity for further study after graduating from high school and go work to support himself.
He has nothing left.
And even if it reaches this point, there will be people who use Hyena Gang to push him to a dead end just because he wants to find out the reasons behind his parents' death.
Whatever the real reason behind this accident, it should be brought to light.
He Ao raised his head and gently opened the door.
——
Avis Bar
This is just a Small Bar located in the corner of Aston District Avis District, and its neon sign is even a little shabby.
At this moment, the morning light shines lazily on the street and on the cheeks of busy pedestrians.
Occasionally, some gunshots can be heard in the alley.
After nearly two months of melee, the chaos of Aston District seems to be coming to an end. It is unknown who will become the new underground ruler of this chaotic area.
Carrying a large Duckbill Cap, the chubby boy struggled to carry a Suitcase and slowly walked to the door of Avis Bar.
The door of the bar was ajar, and the gorgeous lights of Brilliant were not turned on. At the beginning of the day, this place, which was full of lights and feasting at night, was filled with decadence and loneliness.
He Ao slowly pressed the door handle, trying to open the door.
At this time, a Tall Man in a black suit blocked the gap in the door, preventing He Ao from pushing the door open.
"Closed in the morning."
Tall Man glanced at He Ao and said coldly.
He Ao supported the brim of Duckbill Cap's hat, looked around, held the box in his arms, and said to Tall Man carefully, "I'm here to hand over a task to Mr. Noahd."
Bars are open in the evening, and middlemen do business in the morning. This is the rule of Aston District most bar middlemen.
"Which gang are you from?"
Tall Man frowned.
"Hyena Gang's."
He Ao carefully showed the surface of the box to the man. On the box, there was a hyena skull logo printed on it, which was the emblem of Hyena Gang.
Hearing the name, the man frowned even more. He stretched out his hand and said, "Just give me the thing."
"No," He Ao quickly hugged the box tightly, "Our boss said that we must hand it over to Mr. Noahd."
Hearing these words, the man was stunned for a moment, glanced at He Ao, then opened the door and walked towards the depths of the bar.
He Ao followed him in carefully, looking around, and sat at the seat closest to the door of the bar.
Like a child who has arrived in a strange area and is at a loss.
After a while, Tall Man came towards He Ao with a pot-bellied Old Man wearing brown overalls.
"Boss, you said it was Hyena Gang who came to hand in the mission, but he looks like a chick. How could those crazy people like Hyena Gang find a chick to hand in the mission?"
Tall Man leaned next to Old Man and asked softly.
"Everyone sometimes doesn't understand anything," Noahd glanced at He Ao, who was shrinking and looking around, his cheeks covered by Duckbill Cap. He smiled and said to the man next to him, "Of course, it is reasonable for a novice to lose something during delivery."
"But Hyena Gang..."
The man hesitated.
"There will be no more Hyena Gang soon," Old Man showed a smile and lit a cigar. "Victor will not let these mad dogs go. Hyena Gang won't last a few more days. Be nice. If people and things are gone together, won't there be no proof?"
"Yes."
The man nodded and stepped away.
After the man left, Old Man slowly walked up to He Ao and said with a kind smile, "Little guy, are you looking for Noahd? What are you looking for for him?"
The thick smoke of the cigar spread on He Ao's face. He Ao stretched out his hand to fan the smoke and looked up at Old Man, "That's right."
Then he raised the box in his hand with difficulty, "They asked me to deliver the goods... what to deliver... corpses or flowers..."
"Corpse Flower," Old Man smiled, sat opposite He Ao, and looked at the box in He Ao's hand, "Can you let me see what you gave me?"
Although it is indeed unreasonable for Hyena Gang to send a boy who knows nothing to deliver goods, there are many unreasonable things in the world. This is his Noahd chassis. He can make unreasonable things "reasonable".
What's more, this box is indeed the box used by Hyena Gang to put Corpse Flower.
"Yes, that's the name." He Ao heard the name "Corpse Flower" and nodded in realization. Then he looked at Old Man doubtfully, "Why should I show it to you? I have to personally hand this box to Mr. Noahd, and then I will discuss business with him."
"Interesting," Noahd took a puff of cigar and looked at He Ao with interest, "I am Noahd, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"
"Are you Noahd?" He Ao glanced at him suspiciously, "Who can prove it?"
"Everyone here can prove it, and your boss can also prove it."
Noahd smiled and waved, and the scattered staff in the bar instantly stood up and looked at He Ao.
"Then... Okay..." He Ao seemed to be frightened by this momentum. He put the box in his hand on the table tremblingly and slowly opened it in front of Noahd's sight. "This is what I came to give to Mr. Noahd."
Noahd gradually saw the whole picture of the box clearly. The whole box was empty except for a trace of water stains. There was nothing visible, only a dark, olive-shaped thing lying in the center.
Laser Grenade!
Noahd trembled in fright and was about to stand up immediately, but the person opposite him moved faster than him.
He Ao held Laser Grenade in the box with one hand and pressed Noahd's shoulder with the other.
Noahd raised his head and saw only the smiling face of the young man.
"Mr. Noahd, let's talk business now?"
The young man's hand slowly moved to the grenade latch.
