He was abandoned by his parents as soon as he was born.
Looking at Aisha Smith in front of him, Iger shook his head slightly.
Aisha was only 18 years old. She didn't look like she could give birth to a child at the age of 10.
The beauty in front of him had been very nice to him. She even came to the orphanage from time to time, hoping to adopt him.
Unfortunately, the old principal thought Aisha had ulterior motives and was afraid she would sell Edgar. In fact, single people were not allowed to adopt children, so Aisha never succeeded.
"Just take it. It's the deposit for you to be my little lover in the future." isha smiled and got up to leave.
Edgar was a little embarrassed. He had been lying in bed for 20 years in his previous life. He was still a virgin when he died. He had never been in a relationship before.
If Aisha could wait for him to grow up, he wouldn't mind having a relationship with a younger man.
Edgar's face was a little red. He had a lot of thoughts. Speaking of which, Aisha was really pretty.
In the distance, a large group of children was running on the street. The boy in the lead looked at Edgar and waved his hand excitedly.
"How's business today, Edgar?" The boy had freckles on his face and brown hair. He wasn't very good-looking, but he looked very obedient.
"Not bad..." Edgar tilted his head.
"What a pity. If you had parents like us, you might be able to go to school." The boy looked at Edgar sincerely.
Edgar clenched his teeth. "If you really don't know how to comfort people, I suggest you don't try to comfort them. Otherwise, you'll get beaten up."
The boy shuddered and stepped back, muttering softly, "You can't do this …"
As a wild child in the orphanage, Edgar's physical strength was obviously better than the spoiled children in front of him. Edgar was glad he had a good body in this life.
Even putting aside his physical strength, Iger always felt that there was another kind of power hidden in his body.
On a few occasions, some strange things happened around Edgar, which made him think that he was schizophrenic.
A drop of rain fell through the thick clouds and landed on Edgar's head. Edgar shook his head helplessly. He opened his umbrella and put away his stall.
"Damn the weather … The showers in London are terrible!" Edgar mumbled as he kept the items into a small box. He folded two small stools and walked towards the alley.
The alleyway was full of twists and turns. Edgar walked briskly through the alleyway. After a while, a dilapidated orphanage appeared in his sight.
This was the orphanage where Edgar was raised. There was a fierce old woman in the orphanage, a kind sister nun, and a few unwanted children.
Edgar had heard a few days before that the orphanage was going to close down. The remaining orphans were going to be sent to other orphanages in London, and the little yard near the centre of the city was going to be used for other projects.
"Sister Linda, I'm back. Dear, did you miss me?" Edgar pushed the door open and walked into the room. The old room was very quiet.
"In fact, if you can obediently get out of the orphanage and go to the home of the woman who covets your beauty, I will be very happy. I will immediately help you with the procedures." A fierce voice came from behind. Edgar turned around with a smile and an old face appeared in front of him.
"Grandma Coque's menopause has been delayed again?" Edgar put the shoeshine beside the door. "Where is Sister Linda?"
"Hmph, you little bastard. No wonder they don't want to adopt you!" Coque's old woman snorted and bent her back, signaling Edgar to help her up.
"Linda took the children to buy school supplies. You know, although you are very smart and finished the primary school curriculum by yourself, it doesn't mean the other children will be like you …" Coque's old woman was helped to the old sofa in the room by Edgar. She sighed sadly. "The orphanage is out of money. We don't know when it will be merged with other orphanages. The children still need to pay for their school fees."
"I have five pounds here …" Edgar shrugged and took out a note.
"Put away your little belongings. You should think about yourself first. The new orphanage obviously doesn't want to accept an eight-year-old like you who hasn't been adopted yet!" Coque's old woman looked at Edgar angrily. "Why don't you just go with that little girl? Why do you stay here and compete with us old, weak, sick, and disabled people?"
Iger smiled and said, "I can't earn what I eat. I have a small asset now!"
Coque's old woman sighed. She knew what Edgar was thinking. The boy in front of her wanted to repay her for raising him. In the past few years, he had been shining shoes, delivering newspapers, and cleaning cars to earn money. All the money he earned was spent on the orphanage.
"Edgar, you are a good boy …" Coque's old woman turned her head, her eyes wet.
"You're not going to call me a poisonous egg anymore?" Edgar was expressionless.
"Hmph!" Coque's old woman snorted and raised her chin childishly. "I will adopt you until you are eleven at most. Once you are old enough to go to middle school, I will not hesitate to kick you out of the orphanage! I swear in the name of Coque Moriarty! Get ready, you little bastard! "
Edgar saluted solemnly. "I, Lord Edgar Morithus, accept your challenge! Bring it on! "
The two of them looked at each other for a moment and laughed.
After a while, Edgar's stomach growled. He squinted at Coque's old woman and pursed his lips. "Why isn't Linda back yet?"
Edgar looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and stood up worriedly. "I'll go out and have a look. Rainy days in London are not good. In any sense …"
"Come back quickly!" Coque's old woman glanced at Edgar from behind the newspaper.
Edgar nodded and walked quickly out of the room and into the alley.
The rain poured down in the alley. Curses could be heard in the distance. Edgar felt uneasy and quickened his pace.
"Don't talk nonsense with me. Give me the money now!" In the midst of the curses, a man with a dagger in his hand glared fiercely at several figures in front of him. The nun in front of the man was frantically protecting the children. Under the man's fierce threat, the children trembled.
"No, you can't do this. We don't have any money left. I used all my money to buy books for the children …" Linda's body was cold. Under the rain, the dagger in the man's hand looked even more terrifying.
The fear did not last long. A small figure came running from the alley. A black shadow flashed in his hand. Edgar jumped high and hit the back of the man's head with a brick.
The man staggered and fell to the ground.
Edgar hurriedly threw the dagger in the man's hand far away. He looked at the people in front of him and sighed. "Let's go. It's not safe here."
