Although the young man's face wasn't quite the same as before, Rivaldo still remembered the way he held the lollipop in his mouth and the calm smile on his face.
He had woken up countless times at night, dreaming of the young man who had fired the gun with a smile and who hadn't changed his expression at all after killing someone, as well as his warning before he left: If you still want to be a bad guy, you might run into me again one day!
Rivaldo knew that as long as he continued to be a gangster, he would definitely die the next time he ran into this young man.
At that time, no matter how easily Gerrard died, he would die even more simply.
A lot of thoughts flashed through his mind, but he could only force a smile. "It's been a long time since I've been a gangster."
Crossing his arms, Luke looked at the math book in the man's hands and nodded. "That seems to be the case. I wish you good luck for the rest of your life."
A few minutes later, the kid who had left earlier stuck his head out. "Theo, the doctor wants you to take him to him."
"Got it." The young man whom Luke had pointed a gun at earlier gestured at him. "Follow me."
It was only after Luke's back disappeared into the depths of the path that the youngsters were relieved.
One of the older kids couldn't help but ask, "Rivaldo, do you know that guy?"
Rivaldo's expression changed, but he nodded in the end. "Do you remember Boss Jared's death last year?"
All the youngsters and the older kids gasped.
Someone asked, "Was it done by this guy?"
Rivaldo smiled bitterly and gestured at the math book in his hand. "Of course. Why do you think I suddenly like reading? It's because this man crippled Boss Jared right in front of me and shot him in the head. He then told me that I'd end up like Boss Jared the next time I did something bad. "
The youngsters were all dumbfounded. "Huh?"
They had always joked about Rivaldo, who had been diligent in his studies, but it was only now that they realized that the guy hadn't been honest, but had been scared into behaving.
However, when they recalled how Luke had pointed a gun at Theo's head, they felt that it was normal for Rivaldo to be cowardly.
He might be poor, but he still had hope, but he would lose everything if he died.
Two minutes later, Luke was standing in front of a broken iron door.
Theo, who had been leading the way, simply said, "The doctor is inside," before he slipped away.
Luke chuckled and knocked on the door. "Is anyone home?"
After a moment of silence, a female voice said, "Come in."
He pushed the door open and entered.
The lighting in the room was not very good, which was common in the cramped civilian area.
Under a dim yellow light, a woman was debriding a little girl's knee.
Luke didn't disturb him, and simply sat down in a plastic chair on the side.
Several minutes later, the woman put down the medical tape in her hand and patted the little girl's head. "Alright, go home. Remember to keep the wound dry. Come back tomorrow to change the dressing."
The little girl stood up. "Thank you, doctor."
The woman nodded.
The little girl limped away. She only glanced at Luke, who was sitting not far away, before she immediately looked away and left the room with her head down.
After the door was closed, the woman quickly cleaned up the medical waste on the table.
Looking at her back with great interest, Luke couldn't help but murmur inwardly, She's made great progress! Did he train with the Brazilian girls here?
As if sensing his burning gaze, the woman stopped cleaning and turned around. "Why are you looking for me? Just tell me what you want. "
Luke was amused. "It's nothing. I just wanted to tell you that Sloan, the famous hitmen, and the regular hitmen at Textile Factory 17 have all been killed. You can go back now."
The woman was stunned. "What? Are you kidding? "
Luke chuckled. "Rebecca, you know I don't like to joke."
The woman was none other than Rebecca, the redback spider who had betrayed the Fraternity.
But she was a little plumper than she had been half a year ago, and had clearly spent less time fighting.
Hearing that, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. You tricked me and Mr. X in the bar back then, you big liar.
But the destruction of the core leadership of the Fraternity was still a huge shock to her, and she quickly calmed herself down. "I'm doing very well here."
Luke thought for a moment and nodded. "That's true. As long as you like it, you can live any kind of life. So, aren't you going back to America? "
Stunned, Rebecca glared at him for a moment, before she gnashed her teeth. "You came to me just to say that?"
Luke shrugged. "I'm just visiting an old friend. What's wrong with that?"
Looking at his somewhat unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar face, she still frowned. "You're just going to use this face?"
Luke chuckled. "I'm used to it. There are too many strangers here."
Rebecca thought for a moment and agreed.
Their identities were a little sensitive, so it was understandable that he would come in disguise.
"Then why are you still sitting here?" she asked.
Luke got up with a smile. "Okay, where to?"
Rebecca said, "Don't you remember what we said back then?"
Luke chuckled and extended an invitation. "Beautiful lady, would you do me the honor of having a glass of … juice with me?"
Rebecca finally couldn't keep a straight face anymore. She smiled. "Your treat."
Luke said, "Of course."
…
The next morning, when they returned to the cottage, they saw someone eating breakfast inside.
Rebecca said with a smile, "Riley, we brought breakfast back. Let's eat together."
The middle-aged woman at the table nodded and put down the sandwich in her hand. She looked at Luke. "Puncher?"
Luke chuckled. "Long time no see, Bloodmint. How have you been?"
Rebecca elbowed him casually. "Cut the crap. Didn't I tell you?"
Luke wasn't bothered that she had seen through him. He simply said with a smile, "Well, I heard that you're doing well."
After a brief hesitation, Riley replied with a smile, "She's right."
As they talked, the three of them sat down and chatted as they ate breakfast.
That afternoon, Luke set off again on his own.
Neither Rebecca nor Riley had any intention of returning to America, and chose to stay in Rio.
In fact, there was already a group of youngsters and teenagers surrounding them in the Rossinia slum.
Of course, they weren't pursuers.
Rebecca opened a small practice, and Riley opened a small school.
So, the young people called Rebecca a doctor, and Riley a teacher.
Medical care and education happened to be what the slums needed the most.
Neither of them was short of money. They were doing it purely as a hobby.
However, despite their "chivalrous" tendencies, they hadn't listened to Luke's instructions, and had secretly taken action.
But the Fraternity had been panicked by the crosses, and Luke had purged them. It would take a long time for them to recover.
Even if they recovered, they might not be in the mood to cause trouble for them.
The two girls were safe.
