It was not easy for a 30-year old youth to stay overnight outside.
Seeing Zhang Tie coming out, Bilis stood up and walked towards him. He immediately knelt down in front of Zhang Tie and watched him with watery eyes, "I will listen to you from now on. I will do whatever you want me to do!"
Last night, after returning home, Bilis dared not even return home. Instead, he hid here and there for most of the night. Previously, he wanted to leave Blapei right away; however, after leaving this familiar place, he didn't know where he could go and what he could do in the chaos outside. If he stayed in Blapei, Bilis knew that after those people's legs recovered, he would have a doomed tragic end. After thinking it over, Bilis realized that his only way out was the place where he had picked up the iron rod last night. Among all the people he knew, the young officer who had sent him to hell with one sentence was his only hope.
Since that person could kill him at any time, he could also let him live at any time. He had nowhere else to go.
After what happened last night, he was instinctively afraid of Zhang Tie. Ruffians had to use their hands to kill people, but Zhang Tie only needed to use his mouth to kill people. Of course, he knew who was more powerful.
"It seems that you are not that stupid. Have you thought it through?" Zhang Tie asked him.
The moment Zhang Tie opened his mouth, Bilis' awe towards Zhang Tie increased by one level. It turns out that Zhang Tie had already known what he was going to do. Swallowing his saliva, Bilis nodded.
"Then follow me!" Zhang Tie walked towards the alley. Bilis hurriedly stood up and followed Zhang Tie.
…
Zhang Tie went to a restaurant on the block to eat breakfast. Zhang Tie also ordered a breakfast for Bilis and a glass of brandy to warm him up, which made Bilis feel flattered. Although sitting at the same table with Zhang Tie, Bilis was as obedient as a primary school student. Whether it was drinking or eating, he dared not make any sound.
Zhang Tie just minded his own business and didn't say anything, nor did he feel like glancing at Bilis. After finishing his breakfast, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and put down the knife and fork in his hand.
Seeing Zhang Tie put down his knife and fork, Bilis hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, not daring to make a sound. He put down his knife and fork and put his hands on his knees. He listened to Zhang Tie's words obediently.
Zhang Tie was not even half his age. However, in front of Zhang Tie, Bilis was as cute as a rabbit in front of a tiger.
"Your name is …"
"I'm Bilis …" The moment Zhang Tie opened his mouth, Bilis hurriedly answered in case of being too slow.
"En!" Zhang Tie casually glanced at him. "How much did that guy promise to pay you for beating me up last night?"
"Two … Two gold coins!" Recalling what happened last night, Bilis twisted his chair restlessly. If they knew that Beise, that b * stard, wanted to find trouble with a military officer of Norman Empire, they would never dare to do that. Come to think of it, that bastard Vice was really unlucky. He didn't even know who the other party was before trying to show off. In the end, everyone was killed by that person.
Two gold coins? Zhang Tie was slightly stunned. There were at least ten ruffians last night. Two gold coins were enough to make them risk their lives for him? Thinking of this, Zhang Tie found that his mentality was different from before, especially when it came to money.
Two gold coins were just a small amount of money for Zhang Tie; however, it was a big amount of money for these small figures at the bottom of society. If they could get more than ten silver coins for beating him up, why didn't they do that? More than ten silver coins were not a small amount for the villagers of Chevli Village and the ruffians. Several months ago, after being beaten up by Fatty and the other ruffians, Zhang Tie was also very happy when he got two silver coins. At that time, in order to save some copper coins, he didn't even want to take the bus to school. How could he be like now?
Slightly recalling his previous life, Zhang Tie became dumbfounded. When he recovered, half a minute had passed. Bilis stared at him nervously, not daring to speak. Perhaps he was afraid that Zhang Tie was angry.
"Don't be nervous, I just remembered something!" Zhang Tie smiled and comforted Bilis. "Do you know what you're going to do now?"
"I … I don't know!" After saying this, Bilis flattered Zhang Tie, "I'll do whatever you want me to do!"
"Go find Vice and get back the money you spent on your lives!"
"Ah …" Bilis widely opened his mouth. He had never imagined that this was what Zhang Tie wanted him to do.
"But it's not two gold coins, but twenty gold coins. Go find Beise and tell him that this is the price for beating me up. I told you to do that. He will definitely give you this money!" Zhang Tie leisurely sipped a mouthful of juice.
Bilis suppressed his shock and swallowed his saliva. "Do you want me to get this money back for you?"
Zhang Tie smiled and looked at Bilis with a meaningful look. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would use this kind of thing to blackmail others? Or do I really need these twenty gold coins?"
"Oh, no, of course not. I'm just, I'm just..." Beads of sweat appeared on Bilis' forehead.
I know what you want to say. I don't need this money. This money is for you. You can arrange it yourself. Take this money and find those companions whose legs you broke last night. Take this money as their medical expenses and the settlement allowance during this period. Tell them that you are working for me and have them follow you. You don't need me to teach you such a simple thing, do you? "Zhang Tie interrupted his explanation," You don't need to explain, I know what you want to say.
Bilis's face turned red. Closely after that, he thought of something and his face turned gloomy. "Then … boss, boss … what should I do?"
"Boss?" Zhang Tie didn't understand what Bilis meant. Hearing the word "boss", Zhang Tie immediately thought of Reinhardt.
"The guy who rushed towards you last night, the one with a nose ring. He's our boss, he's called …"
Seeing Zhang Tie's mocking look, Bilis gradually lowered his voice. Finally, he didn't dare to look straight into Zhang Tie's eyes …
Zhang Tie didn't say anything and just stared at Bilis quietly. Bilis felt like sitting on pins and needles. After being stared at by Zhang Tie for more than ten seconds, Bilis gritted his teeth and drank up the brandy in front of him. "I know what to do …"
A few minutes later, Bilis left the dining hall. Before leaving, Zhang Tie told him about the secret contact method between them and asked him to pay attention to the recent news about those spies and dangerous elements of the Sun Dynasty in Blapei.
After experiencing what had happened last night, Zhang Tie realized that he was too weak in Blapei. This was not Blackhot City, where he had many friends and brothers who could take care of each other. Last night, if Mr. Green hadn't secretly warned him, he might have suffered a great loss in the hands of those ruffians. Judging from last night's performance, there were two LV 2 ruffians, one LV 3 ruffians, and the rest were all LV 1 ruffians. Without using binding chains, if he was besieged by those ruffians with his current body, he might really be injured...
Feeling the crisis, Zhang Tie made the arrangement for the last scene last night. These guys might not be able to do anything big, but if he could catch them, they could help him a bit sometimes. By doing so, he would have a few subordinates that he could order around. In this way, he wouldn't be able to find a group of people to teach him a lesson with just two gold coins.
These people were all unemployed in Blapei. They usually hung around in the few beer hotels and those entertainment venues at the bottom of the ground. They made a living by collecting admission fees and occasionally solving some troubles for others. They were very poor and could barely get enough to eat and wear. They belonged to the kind of ruffians who might kill others for dozens of copper coins and a quarrel at any time, just like what had happened last night. The business of two gold coins was the biggest business they had received in the past half a year. Their monthly income might not even be enough to buy a pond of earthworms in Chevli Village.
With such a group of subordinates, he only needed to throw them two or three gold coins every month, and they would all listen to him obediently. Even if it was just a dozen of the lowest level thugs, it would still be fine. There shouldn't be a problem with them running errands, right? Was he still lacking two or three gold coins every month?
...
Today, the atmosphere in Blapei was still not relaxed. The number of sentries and on-duty soldiers in the whole city was not less than yesterday. Zhang Tie thought that perhaps because those people he had killed last night had not been discovered, the city's vigilance had not been relaxed yet.
Today, Zhang Tie showed up in the Equipment Department again and rang the bell for a whole day. Whether it was communicating with Second Lieutenant Pi Ping or learning how to repair vehicles by taking off his military uniform and lying on the ground in the maintenance workshop, Zhang Tie felt that he could learn a lot.
Meeting such an officer who loved to learn, didn't put on airs, and got along well with them, all the experienced technical sergeants of the Equipment Department surrounded Zhang Tie and imparted their experiences and skills of repairing vehicles to him. In this way, Zhang Tie was taught by the most experienced person step by step while a lot of vehicles with various problems were placed in front of him. Combining theory with practice, Zhang Tie learned more than what many people could learn in a month at school.
