Crying was one of the best ways to vent one's emotions. Ellie fell into a deep sleep after crying.
?
Law and Kenda left the ward and went to the luxuriously decorated bar. They sat by the window.
There was a glass of milk and whiskey on the table by the wall. The milk was Law's and the whiskey was Kenda's.
The two sat opposite each other. Outside the window was the clear night sky and a bright full moon.
The spaceship flew at a height above the rain clouds. It was a completely different world from the sky below.
At this time, Law was a quiet listener. Through Kenda's narration, he had a more detailed understanding of Ellie and her family.
Ellie's mother was Kenda's sister. The two siblings were orphans adopted by Barney's father with the intention of training loyal subordinates. Ironically, Kenda and his sister lost their parents because of drugs.
After entering the Garfield family, Kenda was trained as an assassin, and Kenda's sister was trained as an intelligence agent. By coincidence, Barney fell in love with Kenda's sister.
Ellie's birth did change the fate of some people.
Amidst the attacks from her enemies, many people died trying to protect Ellie, including her mother.
In the gunshots and blood, Ellie witnessed the death of her loved ones.
After that incident, Kenda, who was good at sniping, was no longer involved in assassinations. He was transferred back to the Garfield family to become the butler and Ellie's personal bodyguard.
Tonight, Ellie had witnessed Barney's death once again. It must have been another blow to her spirit, so it was no wonder that she would say something like that.
Knowing Kenda's identity, and knowing that Ellie relied on Kenda, Law had a rough idea. He did not need to stay all the time. He just needed to wait for Kenda's injury to recover.
"Even if we give up the drugs, those people will not give up." Law took a sip of milk. He did not like to drink before bed.
Kenda shook his head and sighed. "They won't leave any potential threats behind. Even if Ellie is only ten years old, they won't show any mercy. Moreover, the gangsters have always dealt with their enemies with complete annihilation."
Luo raised the glass and took another sip of milk, frowning slightly.
According to Kenda, after returning to Spicy City, when the group of small leaders stationed in various territories learned of Barney's death, the worst outcome would be to directly attack Barney's mansion.
The profits from drugs were terrifyingly high. Barney had started his business by controlling the production and export of the entire Spicy City. His status was only inferior to that of the Ten Geezers, but he had resorted to trickery.
Everyone should earn money together.
This was his philosophy of controlling drugs. Although this approach had convinced many of his subordinates, human greed was like a bottomless pit. Even if a cake was divided, there would always be people who wanted two pieces.
As time passed, even if they earned a lot, there would still be people who would think, 'Why should you take the lion's share?
Now that Barney was dead, and he had lost so many subordinates during this period of time, once the small bosses in the Spicy City area learned of this news, it was very likely that they would join forces to encroach on Barney's wealth.
Not to mention Barney's position, just the mansion built on the mountain had unimaginable wealth for them.
Cash, jewelry, gold, collectibles … and a lot of drugs, these would become the envy of the small bosses.
"Have you ever thought about leaving Spicy City with Ellie?" Luo put down the cup and asked.
Kenda nodded and said, "I have thought about it, but … we can't get out of this quagmire."
"Just take enough money to live, and then find a place to hide. Will they still be entangled?" Luo found it hard to understand.
"I don't mean to belittle you." Kenda stared straight at Luo and said in a deep voice, "You are a little naive."
"…" Luo was stunned and didn't know how to refute.
Kenda smiled bitterly and said, "Even if we give up everything, there will be some people who just want Ellie's life. This is an unresolvable hatred."
"So, we can only live in the quagmire or die in the quagmire."
"Even if Ellie is not willing to bear this, she will have to bear it in the future, or the result will be death."
"I won't let Ellie get hurt, but even if this will be a road full of thorns, I will force her to walk on it."
"She is still young now, but I will stay by her side until she has the strength to protect herself."
After listening to Kenda's words, Luo rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"You know nothing about us." Kenda sighed.
How would I know … Luo complained in his heart.
"I really don't know what your gang does, but do you want to force Ellie to become the second Barney?" Luo said seriously.
"No." Kenda said seriously, "I just hope that Ellie can live safely."
Luo rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I probably understand your idea. After going to Spicy City, I will make sure you are safe."
As long as he absorbed the mind of those collectibles, his aura would be greatly increased, and most of the gang members would abandon their weapons and surrender.
Moreover, Luo didn't agree with Kenda's approach and didn't want to continue on this topic. He had his own opinions and next steps.
Although he didn't know how many potential enemies Barney had, as long as they knew that Ellie was weak, they would jump out one by one. At that time, he could solve them all together.
She said that she couldn't get out of the quagmire no matter what … He wouldn't let Ellie step into the underground world, let alone let her become the second drug tycoon.
"Thank you!" Kenda's gratitude was beyond words.
After that, Luo confirmed the cooperative relationship between the gang and Meteor Street, and explained his concerns to Kenda.
Kenda also knew about the plan of faking his death. When he heard Luo's concerns, he immediately understood and then dispelled Luo's concerns.
Although the gang and Meteor Street had a cooperative relationship, it was only a cooperative relationship. The channels of intelligence and information were not connected.
The Council of Elders knew about Barney's death, but more detailed information was not available. The gang knew about the Council of Elders and the four elders of Meteor Street, but they didn't know how strong they were.
Both sides had a long-term cooperative relationship with a clear price tag. Each took what they needed, which was beneficial and harmless.
This was a big framework harder than steel. Even if the elders of East Street broke the rules, Kenda didn't have the ability to retaliate. After all, he was not at the level of the Ten Elders. He couldn't break this framework.
"By the way, is there any food like the porpoise liver on the spaceship?" Luo suddenly remembered this. Since he was on Kenda's ship, satisfying his appetite was a small request.
Kenda replied, "There is a little left, but the food hunter has left. With the current level of the chefs on the spaceship, it's difficult to recreate that taste."
"That person is not your chef, but a food hunter?" Luo was surprised.
By the way, why didn't he have an impression of that person's appearance … He seemed to be very ordinary, and his presence was very weak.
Kenda nodded and said, "Yes, even if the master is rich, he can only be hired three times a month at most, and those uncommon ingredients are very expensive. You can't afford to eat them every day."
"As far as I know, even the top ten richest people in the world can't hire a food hunter as their personal chef."
Luo's eyes widened in surprise. The food hunter who wrote little in the original book was actually so powerful?
"Some of the world's top rich people occasionally jointly fund food competitions, set up generous awards, and invite food hunters from all over the world to participate, just to satisfy their appetite."
"Because the awards are not purely for money, but also for rare treasures, magnificent jewelry, and sky-high ingredients, once the competition is held, people rush for the awards."
It seemed that Luo's surprise was rare, so Kenda told him everything he knew.
Barney was very materialistic. Occasionally, he would talk about the behavior of the world's top tycoons. Kenda had heard a lot about it, so he knew a little about it. Especially when it came to food competitions, he always heard that Barney wanted to sit in the tasting seat at least once.
