Chapter 10 Matthew the Mustache
Duke didn't expect to meet Cathy here.
Every time they met, Casey always gave him a big hug, which made Duke very embarrassed.
"Aunt Kathy... let's go to the car and talk."
After finally breaking free from Casey's arms, Duke said quickly.
"Haha, little Duke is so shy!"
Casey pinched Duke's face before getting into the car with Duke.
The two were sitting in the back row, and Duke keenly noticed that Casey was a little different today than before. The makeup was heavier and the blush on her face was thicker.
Are you here for a date?
Duke guessed casually.
Aunt Kathy has not found a partner since her husband died, so it is not impossible to date.
"Little Duke, why are you here?"
Of course, Casey didn't know what was going on in Duke's mind, so she asked with a somewhat curious tone.
"I chose the industry here..."
Duke shrugged and briefly talked about what happened three days ago.
"Ah? You actually chose Dongcheng or Ping An Street? Oh my god! Little Duke, you are so stupid!"
After hearing what Duke said, Cathy suddenly felt sad.
"Do you know that the energy of the Elvis family cannot fully radiate to the East City? Some people here don't buy the Elvis family's account at all! And this Ping An Street, I have been in the East City for several years.
But I have never heard of such a small place. You are at a huge loss by choosing such a place. You are giving others an advantage!"
Seeing Casey's excited expression, Duke suddenly felt dumbfounded.
"Aunt Kathy, I can't help it. After all, I'm alone. No one tells me where to choose... and they don't like me, so I just choose a place far away."
Duke shrugged, he didn't feel like he had lost much.
"Well……"
After listening to Duke's words, Casey was suddenly stunned, and then looked at Duke with some determination.
"What...what's wrong, Aunt Kathy?"
Duke was a little strange. He felt chilled all over when Casey stared at him like this.
Alyssa, who was the driver, raised her eyes and scanned the rearview mirror.
"It's okay... Wuwu, little Duke, it's my fault. If I were here, I would definitely help you choose a good place and I wouldn't let them bully you..."
Casey suddenly hugged Duke and started crying, which made Duke feel at a loss.
"Aunt Kathy, this has nothing to do with you. It's my own choice. I just like this kind of quiet place...really!"
Duke said quickly.
He was a little speechless. It was obviously Cathy who comforted him, but why did he comfort Cathy?
Casey cried for a while, and then realized that he was a little embarrassed, and quickly let go of Duke. Duke took the opportunity to hand out a tissue.
"Thanks."
Cathy's makeup was all stained with tears. After wiping away her tears, Duke found that her face looked a little pale and haggard.
"Want to drink?"
Duke took a glass of milk from the back seat and handed it to Kathy. Because Alyssa said the milk was delicious, he bought several glasses for Alyssa.
After taking it, Casey asked:
"You are at No. 4 Ping'an Street now, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, I still have some unfinished matters here. I will come over to you after I finish them. You can tell me what kind of business you want to run."
Casey touched Duke's head.
"good"
Casey got out of the car and left in a hurry.
Watching the other person's leaving figure, Duke felt helpless and didn't know what was going on with Casey today.
"Let's go home."
"Okay, Master."
On the other side, in a matte black car, Casey was holding warm milk and throwing it into the trash can on the roadside with an expressionless expression.
"Let's go."
"Yes, boss."
…
When we returned to Ping An Street, it was already afternoon.
To Duke's surprise, the entire small building had been cleaned.
"boss!"
Four strong men in aprons jogged over and stood in front of Duke.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Duke was really satisfied. He thought it would take a day or two, but he didn't expect it to be completed in a few hours.
I walked in and took a look. The graffiti had been eradicated, the garbage had been thrown away, and the musty smell had disappeared. Apart from the fact that the house was a little older and dilapidated, there were no major problems.
Of course, I haven’t bought any furniture or anything yet.
well……
Duke sighed silently. He didn't know how long he could last with the three thousand dollars in his hand.
Whether it's life or improving your strength to prevent being assassinated, money is needed.
It's definitely not possible to rely on this house. You have to think of other ways to make money quickly.
These four strong men hang out here at night and help guard the door.
Naturally, Duke would not sleep here. After all, there was not even a bed here. Although he was poor, he was not yet ready to make a bed on the floor with his little maid.
On the way back, Alyssa had already booked a room in a hotel on the next street. The price was not high, two ordinary rooms only cost sixteen yuan.
When Alyssa drove Duke to this place called "The Ronin Hotel", she almost ran into a car coming from the other direction.
This is a rusty car, which is in sharp contrast to Duke's shiny car.
The windows of the other party's car were lowered, and he was about to curse, but after seeing the badge on Duke's car, he immediately put his words back and quickly motioned for Duke to leave first.
Two cars parked in front of the Ronin Hotel.
Duke and Alyssa got out of the car and suddenly heard someone calling them from behind.
"Duke?"
Duke turned around with some confusion and saw a middle-aged man wearing a black dress and a top hat closing the door of the old car.
The man's appearance is relatively ordinary, but the mustache on his upper lip is very individual.
Duke always felt that this man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
The man with the mustache trotted over with a surprised look on his face.
"It's me. You can call me Uncle Matthew. We met at your funeral... uh."
Matthew felt that what he said seemed a bit impolite, and suddenly scratched his head.
And Duke finally remembered that at his funeral, there were many men standing near Casey, and one of them was him.
"Uncle Matthew, it's you, hello."
Although he didn't know why the other party was so excited when he saw him, Duke still greeted him politely.
"Haha! I didn't expect to see you here... I was so sorry just now. Are you hurt?"
"Of course not."
Hearing Duke's words, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good. I'm still thinking of going to the Elvis family to visit you... By the way, what are you doing?"
"I live here."
Duke pointed to the Ronin Hotel.
"Huh? You live here too? Could it be... Haha, I understand!"
Matthew burst out laughing.
Duke looked confused. What did he understand?
"This must be your first time here. I, Matthew, am quite familiar with the roads here. Let's get together later?"
Matthew looked at Duke expectantly.
Duke and He looked at Alyssa, who was also confused and didn't know what Matthew was talking about.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't take the initiative to reveal your identity, no one will know your identity. Besides, with your status as an Elvis family, even if others find out, they won't dare to do anything to you! That's it.
Ah, I’ll come find you later! What’s your room number?”
Matthew hurriedly patted his chest and said.
"2233..."
Duke spoke subconsciously.
"Okay, I'll go up and get the things first, and you should hurry up and get ready!"
