Money made the world go round. Offer a price that no one could refuse. If it still didn't work, he would raise it even more.
It seemed that Tom couldn't take it. Gao Qi's first offer made Tom happy.
"I live in the slums. It's very chaotic there. The police rarely go there, so it's safe enough. I can find you an empty house. As long as you don't go out often, no one will find you hiding there."
After saying that, Tom changed the topic and said, "Tell me who is looking for you. Will someone conduct a thorough search?"
Gao Qi thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a city-wide search. The people looking for me aren't from the City of Angels. They don't have the power to make the City of Angels do a city-wide search."
Tom raised his eyebrows and said, "Then it's much easier. Are the people looking for you superpowered?"
"Yes."
"How many people are there?"
"At least 20."
Tom looked at Gao Qi in surprise and said, "Who did you offend?"
"Oh, it's a very, very big gang."
Tom shook his head and said, "If it's a gang from outside the city looking for you, and they can't use the power of the police, then you can stay at my place for a long time. At least a month. You don't have to worry about being found. I can promise you that."
"A month? That's a long time. Thank you. I want to know what kind of house it is and what the conditions are. "
Tom smiled and said, "How good can you expect a house in the slums? If you want to escape from some people, then don't ask for too much."
"Well, you're right. Is the house yours?"
Tom shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as you have a place to live."
The sky was completely dark. There were no streetlights on the street, and no people. There were no lights in the houses on both sides of the road. Even if there was light, it was a weak flame like candles or oil lamps.
The house looked okay, but the environment was far worse than the hotel Gao Qi and the others had just left.
Walking on such streets, one could truly see the wasteland after the apocalypse.
Tom suddenly stopped and pointed at the house in front of him. He waved his hand and drew a circle. "From here, all the way to the end. If you like a house, just tell me. You can stay in any one of them. Don't be shy."
Gao Qi was confused. "What do you mean? These houses can be lived in? What should we do? "
Tom said faintly, "You've taken a fancy to that house. I'll chase the people inside away, and then you can live there."
"F * ck, this won't do."
Gao Qi shook his head and said with a troubled expression, "Buddy, there's no electricity here. How can we live here?"
Tom said with some displeasure, "You're being hunted down. You should relax the conditions. People who pursue pleasure too much die quickly."
Gao Qi looked at Anna beside him and finally said, "No, let's find a place with better conditions. I can pay."
Tom looked at Gao Qi with disdain and muttered something. This time, he didn't speak Chinese, so Gao Qi couldn't understand.
Anna whispered to Gao Qi, "He said, damn rich people."
Tom didn't care that Anna translated his words. After thinking for a while, he nodded. "Okay, you can live in the 13th Street. The slums are invading that area and it's about to be polluted. But the conditions there are good. I can send you there."
"I can rent the house."
Tom didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and said, "Follow me."
After turning a corner and continuing to walk for two blocks, they could see lights in the houses on both sides of the road.
The houses were actually similar in size and appearance, but the only thing that differentiated the slums from the normal communities was the availability of electricity.
Tom began to look left and right. When he saw a house with no lights, he immediately reached out and said, "How about this house?"
It was a big white house with two garages facing the street and green lawns all around. In terms of environment, it was much better than the so-called slums.
"This looks good, but …"
Before Gao Qi could finish, Tom had already walked toward the house. He went straight to the door and began to take something out of his pocket.
It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, but Gao Qi felt that the thing Tom took out was definitely not a key.
But judging from the speed at which Tom opened the door, Gao Qi felt that he was overthinking because the door opened a little too quickly.
The door opened and Tom walked in. He then turned on the light. After the bright light came on, Gao Qi saw two wires in Tom's hands.
Tom made an inviting gesture and turned his head to look. Then he immediately said, "Well, it looks good. You can stay here."
Sofa, murals, carpet. This was a house that didn't look particularly luxurious, but it was definitely very high-end.
But this was trespassing. If they took something out of this house, it would be considered burglary.
Gao Qi said embarrassedly, "That's not good. I said that we can pay to rent the house."
Tom said very seriously, "You can give me the money if it makes you feel better."
Gao Qi said helplessly, "We don't even have a key, and I don't know how to open a lock with two wires."
"Don't worry about these things. The solution is very simple. You just don't lock the door, or …"
Tom suddenly pulled out a hammer from behind and said, "I can help you break the lock."
"Uh, no need, no need."
Gao Qi made a few meaningless gestures. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, I'll check first. If there's no one here, we can stay here for the night."
Tom put the hammer back on his waist and said with a smile, "According to my experience, once the owner leaves this kind of house, he won't come back. So you can stay here forever. If the owner wants to trouble you, it's okay. You can say that Crazy Tom let you stay here."
Gao Qi looked at Tom and then asked curiously, "Really? Are you very famous?"
Tom curled his lips and then smiled. "Trust me, no one in this area doesn't know me, unless they're tired of living. Now, please give me the money. I should go back and prepare to meet the people of the dock gang. I have a tough battle to fight tonight."
Gao Qi took out the money. While counting the money, he said casually, "Can I ask you a question? You're only one person, and you're not a psychic. How do you deal with so many enemies?"
Tom thought for a moment and then said seriously, "Maybe because I'm strong enough, but more importantly, because I'm crazy enough. I guess so."
Gao Qi counted ten thousand yuan with one hand and handed it to Tom. He said seriously, "Then can I watch your battle tonight? Well, I'll pay. "
