"To put it simply, a bandit entrusted this wooden token to me before he died. He asked me to take care of his son."
Ryuga whispered into Selliu's ear as though he didn't want the young man to hear.
The warm wind tickled Selliu's ears but she couldn't be bothered as she was focused on Ryuga's words.
"So this child's so-called job is actually to be a bandit?"
Selliu didn't doubt Ryuga's words at all. She trusted Ryuga and looked at the young man with pity. "How pitiful, he doesn't even know that his father has become a bandit."
"Indeed, very pitiful."
Ryuga nodded as though he agreed with Selliu's words. Then, he changed the topic. "I'm afraid this child won't be able to grow up alive."
"Eh? Why? "
Sai Liu was stunned when he heard this. Then, he was shocked.
"It's obvious. After losing his father, how can such a young child survive?"
Liu Xia said, "Even if he works, no one is willing to hire him. The residents around here are all poor. They can't even take care of their own families. Of course, they can't take care of him. He either starves to death or freezes to death. That's not bad. If he steals other people's food because he can't bear the hunger, he will be easily beaten to death with his weak body."
"This …"
Sai Liu's expression froze. She wanted to say something but she couldn't refute. She thought hard for a while before her eyes lit up as she thought of a solution. "Right, why don't I adopt him? I will definitely teach him to be a kind person and break away from the influence his father left him."
"That's not a bad idea."
Liu Xia nodded, but then she shook her head and said, "But Sai Liu, have you ever thought that since you're a special police officer, it's easy for villains to target you. You're very strong and they might not be able to do anything to you, but will they use this child to threaten you? Wouldn't that expose him to danger? "
"Moreover, not to mention the entire empire, even in the imperial capital, there are countless children like this. You can save this one, but what about the rest of the children? How many can you save? "
"I … Deputy captain, what should I do?"
Selliu, who couldn't think of an answer, could only look at Ryuga for help.
In her eyes, Ryuga was a very excellent and powerful person. He was not only strong but also able to deal with the Teigu user who attacked at night, he was not afraid of power. Even when facing the general of the empire, he dared to pull him down. Even his brain was very smart, he could easily investigate all kinds of information and notice things that she often didn't notice.
"Have you heard Lan say one thing?"
Facing Selliu's request, Ryuga did not give an answer directly, but continued to give advice. "In the provincial capital where he was, because the governor was a very wise person, he was very considerate of the people and could make policies for the well-being of the people, so the people in the provincial capital lived much better than other provincial capital."
Lan, the handsome blonde haired and blue eyed guy in the Jaegers, used to teach in a rural area. According to him, the provincial capital in the rural area was quite prosperous. People's lives were much happier than in the Imperial Capital. Moreover, there were fewer crimes that were visible to the naked eye.
"Although it's just an example, if you become a senior official of the empire, you can also work for the well-being of the people like this governor. Facing these homeless children, you can order to set up an orphanage, specially coordinate and properly manage these children, and raise these children in an organized way."
Ryuga slowly tempted Selliu to get the answer. "At that time, you can save not only this child, but thousands of children."
"I see!"
Sai Liu's eyes lit up as he came to a sudden realization, "As long as I can become a high official of the empire, not only will I be able to kill even more villains, I'll also be able to save even more people and guide even more people onto the right path!"
"I understand, vice-captain!"
Selliu became spirited and revealed the same cute smile as before. Then, she bowed deeply to Ryuga. "Thank you, vice-captain, for your guidance. I, Selliu Ubikitas, have come to my senses. Now is not the time to be immersed in sorrow. I will work hard to become a senior official of the empire and change the current situation of the empire!"
Selliu said as she turned around, took out her money pouch, and placed it in the young man's hand.
"Young man, for your safety, I can't bring you back, but I can leave this money for you. You must not walk on the path of evil!"
After she finished speaking, she skipped away. After her fighting spirit had been ignited, the extreme feeling in her body had also been dispelled by quite a bit.
This couldn't even be considered as changing her mind. At most, it could only be considered as diverting her attention from her hatred of evil to her concern for kindness. She still couldn't tolerate evil, but with a goal, her extreme thoughts should be reduced by a lot.
Ryuga watched as she left. He reached out his hand and silently clutched his chest where his heart was.
"A righteous character … as expected, it can't cause any waves."
He didn't feel any sense of accomplishment or satisfaction from changing Selliu's mind. It was just like how he didn't feel anything when Grey asked him to change her mind.
"Can acting as a character with emotions really make me have emotions?"
Ryuga had this question in his heart.
He shook his head. Before the final result was out, no one would be able to get the answer.
Since he couldn't think of an answer, he didn't intend to dwell on it. He tossed this question to the back of his mind and left.
After he left.
"Eh? Why am I standing here? "
The young man suddenly woke up and looked around in confusion. After feeling the weight in his hand, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. "Wow, why do I suddenly have so much money?"
"What is this wooden token?"
The young man rolled his eyes and casually threw the wooden token away.
Ryuga didn't meet a bandit who said 'please take care of my son'. In order to make this act more realistic, he found this orphan in the slums and hypnotized him to slightly tamper with his memory.
Because he wasn't familiar with this kind of magic, he didn't sleep for the entire night.
However, he found out that the bandit group had the support of a high-ranking official of the Empire. This was actually true. And the one who supported this group of bandits was also an Empire General.
Because of the threat from General Bude, Ryuga didn't plan to make a move now. It wouldn't be too late to reveal the pile of black material in his hands after he dealt with Bude.
