Urban Sims

Three days later.

Around nine o'clock in the morning.

East entrance of Hongmopan Street.

Zhou Ming saw the young man who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

However, the boy was much messier than the last time he saw him.

Not only were his clothes torn to pieces, but his face and arms were covered with bruises and scars, as if he had been violently beaten.

His mental state was not as alert and optimistic as before, but instead he looked frightened and in a daze.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? What's with your injuries?"

Zhou Ming, who approached him, asked, what happened to this young man?

"Is that you, sir?"

Seeing Zhou Ming, Henry was surprised and happy. Then he knelt down in front of him, grabbed his trouser legs and cried: "Sir, please save my sister, please save my sister." Sister!"

"Your sister?"

Zhou Ming frowned and said, "Don't cry. Get up first and tell me the situation."

"Okay, okay sir!"

Henry stood up and told Mr. Magic the situation in detail.

It turned out that after making an appointment with Zhou Ming that day, Henry was at home, nervously preparing for the written test and interview. Unexpectedly, disaster fell from the sky. The Blood Ax Gang, who controlled the slum area, rushed directly into their home and took away his sister Lina.

"Why did they arrest your sister? Do you owe them money?" Zhou Ming asked.

"No, we have never borrowed anyone's money, and we will never borrow money no matter how poor we are. My father once said to us that those who borrow money will never be able to recover." Henry said.

"Then why did they want to arrest your sister?"

"They said they would introduce a job to my sister, a job where you can make a lot of money with just one leg!"

"Oh~"

Zhou Ming immediately understood that the so-called Blood Ax Gang had kidnapped Henry's sister to make her a prostitute selling meat.

In addition, the slums are inherently chaotic. Crimes are happening everywhere in broad daylight. Kidnappings, robberies, and thefts are commonplace, and the city’s security forces don’t care much about it. Unless you have a lot of money, no one will stand up for you. .

Henry was weak and could not afford much money, and no one dared to offend the Blood Ax Gang for him. He charged twice and was almost beaten to death by the Blood Ax Gang.

After exhausting all methods to prove ineffective, Henry thought of the noble magician he met.

"You want me to help you rescue your sister?"

Zhou Ming asked. It seemed that this young man named Henry regarded him as the last straw.

"Hmm~ Distinguished Sir, please help me, please help me!" Henry knelt down again as he spoke.

"I helped you, what can you give me in return?" Zhou Ming asked with a frown.

"I can give you anything you want, including my life and everything I have, as long as you can save my sister, she is my only relative in this world!"

Henry kowtowed and begged, and tears fell.

These performances of the young man made Zhou Ming secretly nod.

"Get up, I can help save your sister."

Zhou Ming's words immediately made the young man ecstatic, and he kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

…

More than half an hour later.

The slums west of the city.

Zhou Ming, and a small group of patrolling security team soldiers, led by Henry, entered the territory of the Blood Ax Gang.

The captain of the patrol security team was named Simon, and he was in charge of ten soldiers. When Zhou Ming took out a bag of 100 gold coins and asked Captain Simon to help him a little, he readily agreed. On the one hand, 100 gold coins was really a lot. , on the other hand, having the magician owe him a favor is something that many people dream of.

The same was true for the ten soldiers.

"Master Leylin, Master Simon, this is it!"

Henry stopped and pointed to the largest building in the slum in front of him. At this moment, he was full of confidence.

"Run~"

Captain Simon pulled out the sword from his waist and said to the men behind him: "Brothers, smash it for me!"

"Ren~" "Ren~" "Ren~" "Ren~"

Pulling out their heavy swords one after another, ten soldiers from the security team wearing helmets rushed into the Blood Ax Gang's base camp.

"Boom~"

"boom!"

The door was smashed into pieces, and the soldiers who rushed into the building started smashing it like wolves and tigers.

"ah!"

"ah!"

Two young men who were guarding the gate were directly chopped and seriously injured.

Gang leader Rick, member Andre and others who were gambling in the house were surprised. Faced with these vicious uninvited guests, they thought other gangs were coming to seize the territory.

But after seeing Simon, the security captain who had dealt with him many times, Henry, who had been beaten twice, and a young man dressed as a mage, they were even more worried.

"Captain Simon, gentlemen, why are you visiting the Blood Ax Gang?"

Rick asked with a flattering smile.

"Release my sister quickly, release my sister!"

Henry jumped in front of Rick, clenched his fists, and said with hatred.

Seeing Henry, Rick's eyelids twitched and he regretted greatly. Why didn't he hit the target yesterday and beat this kid to death? Unexpectedly, this boy brought so many reinforcements who could not be offended.

But he denied it categorically: "Your sister? What happened to your sister? Did something happen? How can we help?"

Rick starts acting stupid.

"That's enough Rick, there are hundreds of beggars in this slum, their hands and feet were disabled by your Blood Ax Gang, and there are hundreds of prostitutes in the brothel. These crimes are enough to kill you ten times, I will only say it once , release this child’s sister quickly.”

Captain Simon said solemnly, he had received many tributes from the Blood Ax Gang and knew the gang thoroughly.

Andri on the side asked his men to collect all the money on the gambling table, put it into a bag, and then handed it to Captain Simon's hand and said: "Sir Simon, this is a little care. We really didn't kidnap his sister. Don't believe it." You can search here.”

"You, the bastard, kidnapped my sister!"

Henry's eyes turned red, and he pounced on Andre and bit him hard on the leg.

"Ah! Little guy, please let go!"

Andre screamed and swung hard several times before throwing Henry away.

Simon shook the money bag in his hand and counted it secretly. There were about 50 gold coins in it, enough for him and his men to eat and drink several times... He had no intention of returning the money.

However, man, he still has to help Mr. Master get it back.

Simon shook his head, looked at Zhou Ming, and said to Rick: "This gentleman is a friend of little Henry. He is a distinguished mage. You'd better know each other better."

Rick looked at Zhou Ming and saw that he was wearing a robe made of high-end fabrics, wearing a trainee mage badge on his chest, and holding a staff in his hand... This outfit was undoubtedly that of a mage.

"Mr. Master, I wonder...what's your surname?" he said to Zhou Ming in a flattering manner.

"Let him go immediately within five minutes!" Zhou Ming was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly issued an ultimatum.

"This..." Rick looked hesitant.

"Four minutes left." Zhou Ming remained expressionless as he continued the countdown.

"Okay... okay, Andri, go to Aunt Beliniya, bring Lina back and let her go!" Aunt Beliniya is a professional responsible for training prostitutes. She not only teaches skills, but also knows how to train prostitutes. Doing ideological work for those young girls, conveying the truth that "it's easier to make money while lying down"... To put it bluntly, it's brainwashing.

"this……"

Andri looked embarrassed. Aunt Bellinya had told him that although Lina was thin, she was the best that could only be seen in a hundred years! As long as she takes good care of her body, she will be a radiant beauty, and the guests will go crazy for her.

As for gold coins, they must be earned in thousands!

Now the boss says to let Lina go?

"Boss, Lina is our cash cow!"

Andre said with a look of reluctance.

"But that's the Master Mage, the Master Mage we can't afford to offend." Rick emphasized: "Hurry up and let Lina go."

"no no!!"

Andri shook his head repeatedly and suddenly pointed at Zhou Ming: "You are not a mage, you are a fake, a noble mage, how can you stand up for such a pariah in the slums?"

"Fake! You must be fake!"

Andri pointed at Zhou Ming and shouted, he was very sure that the mage blocking his way of making money must be a fake!

"Wind Pillar!"

A word popped out of Zhou Ming's mouth, and a whirlwind suddenly blew from the top of the buff staff, pointing at Andri's chest!

"Huhu~"

A wind column like a rotating drill quickly penetrated Andri's chest like a tornado!

"Pfft~"

Andre stopped shouting, and a fist-sized hole appeared in his heart, running through the front and back... You could see the hole in his heart.

"Are you really a...fa...mage?"

After saying that, Andre's eyes widened and he collapsed.

"Noisy!" Zhou Ming snorted coldly.

"Let him go, let him go immediately!" Gang leader Rick was startled and immediately ordered another subordinate to bring Lina back.

…

This afternoon.

Henry saw his sister, and the two siblings hugged each other and cried for a long time.

Zhou Ming expressed his gratitude to Captain Simon and said that he would treat them to a meal when he was free that day.

Simon and the others didn't even say it was necessary. It was their honor to serve the distinguished mage... They had seen Zhou Ming's strength. This mage released magic in an instant, and the power was astonishing.

Henry's home.

In a low and dilapidated room.

Zhou Ming frowned, this kind of living environment is really very bad.

However, the dozen or so books neatly stacked on the bedside table made Zhou Ming confirm that little Henry was indeed literate.

So he said to the siblings in front of him:

"Henry, I have some bad news for you. Since you missed today's written test interview,... you won't have a second chance."

"ah!"

Henry was shocked and his face turned pale.

"Henry, why do you want to save your sister? As long as you can become the mage's assistant, it doesn't matter if your sister dies, you..."

Lina's tone was filled with tears, her brother's good future was gone just like that.

"It doesn't matter, sister, it really doesn't matter! I can lose anything, but I can't lose my sister!"

Henry cried too, hugging his sister and crying.

"The good news is, Henry, you have been accepted by me. I need an assistant, and you are just the right one."

Zhou Ming's voice came to his ears again.

What?

Both siblings were stunned, and Henry's face was even more unbelievable. He looked at Zhou Ming and said, "Sir, do you want me to be your assistant?"

"Yes, are you willing?" Zhou Ming nodded.

"I do! I do!"

Henry jumped up excitedly, and his sister Lina bowed to express her gratitude.

Zhou Ming scanned the indoor environment again and saw that there were a lot of clothes to be mended, a coal stove and a set of kitchen utensils for cooking, so he asked Lina: "Hey, Lina, what do you know?" What?"

Lina looked at him in surprise, seeming to realize something, and quickly replied: "Cooking, sewing, cleaning, I know a little bit of everything."

Zhou Ming nodded: "Just right, I still need a servant there."

He said to Lina who looked surprised: "Pack your things, you two, move to my place."

Zhou Ming accepted these siblings, not because of his overflowing Holy Mother heart, but because of his character. Henry was willing to give up the interview opportunity in order to save his sister. His sister endured all kinds of hardships for the sake of her brother's future, but at the same time, she still maintained her integrity. The initial persistence...the quality of these siblings impressed him.

Accepting them is purely out of appreciation.

…

In the evening, after a little tidying up, under the gaze of many men and women in the slum, Zhou Ming took Henry and Lina and left the slum.

A few years later, legends about the siblings were widely circulated in the slums of this area.

I hope everyone will not be impetuous. Any story has details and foreshadowing. The outline is fast, but the detailed plot is more evocative.
