Half a month ago, Law's first impression of Kenda was arrogant, but now he ignored his injured arms and kowtowed on the ground in the rain, begging Law to help them.
This extreme contrast in impression may be the attitude one should have when they were in dire straits, but it also showed enough sincerity.
However, Kenda did not have to go to this extent. He only needed to mention it casually and Law would agree to it. However, for Kenda to make such a request, it was probably because he had no choice but to ask Law for help.
He vaguely felt that things were not that simple, but Law certainly had no reason to refuse. No matter what Kenda wanted him to help with, he would treat it as a reward for the 128 collectibles.
Moreover, Kenda's reaction was too exaggerated, which made him think of the situation Ellie might face, so there was no reason to refuse.
Law's principle had always been to repay the kindness of a drop of water with a gushing spring, whether the kindness was overt or covert.
"I'm curious about the difficulty that made you kowtow to ask for help, but I will help, not you, but Ellie." Law looked at Kenda who was kneeling in front of him and did not take the initiative to help him up.
Seeing that Law had agreed, Kenda suddenly looked up and was ecstatic.
"Let's be frank, if you want to use my strength to help you maintain the drug business, then I'm sorry, you've definitely come to the wrong person," Law said coldly.
Drugs had always been a hated existence, and it was also the cause of the destruction of countless families. Thinking of Barney's identity, if this was the starting point of Kenda's request, then Law would not be polite.
"No, you've misunderstood."
Kenda quickly shook his head. After Law agreed, he even used honorifics.
"For me, the safety of the young lady is the most important."
Listening to Kenda's serious tone, Law could not help but be silent. After Barney's death, such words lacked a certain degree of credibility, but he believed it for the time being.
"Let's get on the ship. Let's treat your injuries first, then we'll talk about the matter in detail." Law took the initiative and stepped directly on the stairs.
Although he had the appearance and body of a twelve or thirteen year old, his mental age was twenty-one years old, and his words and actions were not the pretense of a teenager. When interacting with others, it was easy to ignore his age.
What happened tonight indeed made Kenda unable to see Law as a twelve or thirteen year old boy, and he was not even surprised to use honorifics.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Kenda got up and followed Law up the boarding stairs.
Although it was his and Barney's first time working with Meteor Street, they knew a lot about it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to work with Meteor Street so easily. They didn't expect to fail on their first try.
On the basis of his understanding of Meteor Street, he felt that Law was really an anomaly in Meteor Street. Not only his performance on the spaceship test, but also his conscious act of compensation when he destroyed the houses of residents was contrary to his understanding of Meteor Street.
Kenda didn't know that Law didn't come from Meteor Street. He had the initial understanding, plus Law's care of Ellie, so he was willing to bet his remaining chance on Law.
Of course, the key is still the strength shown by Law. No matter what the opinion is, only strength is the main factor that is valued.
After boarding, the spaceship took off in the rain.
Kenda went for treatment after boarding the ship, while Law took a hot bath and changed his clothes before going to visit Ellie.
The medical room and ward of the private spaceship were quite similar to the hospital environment, and the spaceship was not stingy in terms of space utilization.
Ellie was lying in a comfortable hospital bed. Because of her high fever, she was on an IV drip.
Law sat by the bed and looked at Ellie quietly.
Her small face was pale and bloodless, and she shivered from time to time. Her deeply wrinkled brows were distressing.
"Although I asked Vogt to bring the collection back to report to the elder, the elder ordered Kuli and Vogt to kill all of them. Not just me, even Chestnut Head and the horse-faced man will not be spared."
"The news of Barney's death can certainly dispel the elders' doubts, but Ellie is not dead, and it will certainly not be hidden after returning. Moreover, if I stay by Ellie's side, it is only a matter of time before I am exposed."
"If the elders learn about this, they will realize that Vogt is lying …" Law thought of the flaw in the fake death plan.
He did not know that the elders' order was to get all the collections and then get rid of Barney and the others. It was only because Kuli and Vogt wanted to kill all of them that he thought it was the elders' order.
Law was not clear about the relationship between the gangs and Meteor Street and the channels of information transmission, so he still needed to discuss this matter with Kenda. He also had to consider the fact that he was not dead or that Ellie was not dead, and how the elders would react.
On the other side of Meteor Street, Law only valued the safety of Machi and the others. If it were not for the fear of Machi and the others being troubled by the elders, Law would not even give a single collection to the elders.
Machi and the others were now rapidly improving their strength. If they were given a few more months, even the elders would not be able to threaten them, but they were not qualified yet.
The more Law thought about it, the more he felt a headache. If it were not for the fact that they were not strong enough, there would be no need to consider so many things. They would have just returned to Meteor Street, and the elders would not dare to do anything.
In fact, the elders only valued the collections. It did not matter whether Law was dead or not. Even if Ellie survived, the elders would not value it because Barney was dead.
As long as Barney was dead, there would be no one to suppress him. The gang members in the territory would become a pack of jackals and wolves, crazily devouring this piece of meat. No one would be willing to avenge Barney.
More importantly, before Barney went to You Kexin, he was attacked by a united enemy. The main core of his subordinates were unfortunately killed, so how could he spare the energy for revenge? That was why Kenda asked Law.
Because Law did not know enough information, his focus was wrong from the beginning. If he thought too much, he would only cause trouble for himself.
He even thought about asking Kenda if he had a human skin mask or something later. Because killers were so popular, it should not be surprising that they had a human skin mask as a disguise tool.
Just as Law was thinking, Ellie woke up. She tilted her head and looked at Law sitting by the bed. Her eyes were quietly brewing with mist.
Aware of Ellie's gaze, Law recovered from his thoughts and met Ellie's pitiful eyes.
"Law, wouldn't it be better if I died? So that not so many people will die because of me." Ellie's voice was sobbing.
Law's face sank when he heard this. He did not understand why Ellie would say such a thing. He stretched out his finger and flicked it hard on Ellie's forehead.
Ellie felt pain and whined. The tears in her eyes could not be held back and fell down.
"If you say such things again, I won't be polite." Law took back his hand unhappily.
"But …"
Ellie stretched out her left hand and covered her forehead. Big tears kept falling from her eyes.
"Mom, Kenda, Barney … they are all …"
Law sighed in his heart. Just as he was about to tell Ellie that Kenda was not dead, the door was opened at this moment.
Kenda, who was almost bandaged into a mummy, came in. Looking at Ellie on the bed, he said, "Miss, I'm still here."
Ellie looked at Kenda in a daze. After a moment, she burst into tears.
More and more treasures disappeared from her eyes, leaving behind more and more precious. Therefore, the feeling of regaining what was lost was even more indescribable.
