It is a place where there is no sunrise or sunset, no daytime and no dusk.
Really never seen the light of day.
In a world that only exists at night, the dim light swaying weakly beside his mother's bed was the only sun in the heart of young Mahavira.
The white lion cub does not have such a long mane and does not look any different from a slightly larger cat.
It always wanted to nestle in its mother's arms. But his mother did not want Mahavira to get too close to her.
The reason is simple. Because she does not want to transmit her disease to her children.
tuberculosis.
It is not a disease that is difficult to cure. Rather, Ampoule Biomedical’s specific medicine can easily cure it in just two courses of treatment.
But the real problem wasn't her illness...
It's her disability.
Mahavira's mother was not a born uncensored person. In fact, she was the personal bodyguard of a young boss before entering the lower city. According to the rules of Happy Island, the boss's personal bodyguard also belongs to the social elite.
Her spiritual relative is the Bengal tiger, and her spiritual affinity is as severe as Mahavira's. But unlike ordinary Bengal tigers... her hair is naturally white.
Psychiatry destroyed her appearance as a woman, but it also gave her great physical strength.
Until she and her boss were suddenly attacked by a group of uncensored people in a completely unexpected place.
It was a brutal business war. His company was thriving, the core team was extremely united, and it had a profound background.
But the companies that were being squeezed were unwilling to give up their resistance—they made a desperate decision to hire Uncoders, intending to directly physically destroy their biggest enemy.
It was early morning on a weekday.
When they were about to leave their home, a truck passed by their home. A group of people suddenly jumped out of the truck and started shooting at them.
According to the general default rules, mercenary operations must wait until after ten o'clock in the evening. But there are always uncoded people who don't want to care about those messy "rules" - I have become an uncoded person, do you think I will still look like someone from the uptown area?
Do you want to be an obedient baby like a wage slave?
She was shot more than sixteen times throughout her body and killed four enemies with her bare hands without even a gun.
However, the bullet also destroyed the vision in one eye and injured her spine, making her lower body unable to move freely.
She has worked very hard.
But the bodyguard profession is all about results. She still failed - her boss was beaten on the spot.
At the same time, she lost her boss and powerful force, and she immediately lost her job. Not only that, she also encountered revenge from both sides...the revenge from the group of uncoded people, and the anger of the young boss and his old and wealthy father.
She could only rely on the help of her former colleagues to cut off her chip, escape into the lower city in embarrassment, and become an uncoded person.
But, she couldn't do anything.
The more powerful a person is, the more decadent they become after becoming disabled. If she could have money to assemble a prosthetic body, she might be able to become a mercenary... But she couldn't even move, and the chip that held the money couldn't move.
Removed. She is literally penniless.
Not to mention, even if the money in her chip can still be used, it won't be enough to pay for an artificial spine.
The only thing she can still sell is her own body.
It's not that as a woman, she has much charm with a tiger face... but that her extremely strong body, together with her rare heterochromatic appearance, has special value as a mother.
A boss purchased her offspring from her.
The other party as the breeding partner is the "manager" of an underground boxing ring in the lower city of Xingfu Island.
To put it nicely, it can be said to be the person in charge of the boxing ring; to put it harshly, it can be said to be a dog raised by the boss.
Because as the person in charge of the boxing ring, he also has to go into battle to box - it is a black boxing that cannot be ended until one party dies, and there is no turning back.
All experiences of both parties will be recorded as transcendental videos. Whether it is the experience of beating others to death, or the experience of being beaten to death by others, it can be sold for a high price in a calm place like Uptown.
To put it simply, this looks like a casino and a boxing ring, but it is actually a filming location.
The reason for choosing that manager is that he also has a tiger-like spiritual kin and is physically strong. He is extremely good at jujitsu and likes to slowly strangle his enemies to death in competitions.
The boss wants a rare white tiger cub to be raised with his own child and become his personal guard since he was a child. It doesn’t matter whether he is a male or female, what he wants is to be rare, loyal and strong.
Among them, rarity is the most important.
If the baby she gives birth to is not white, then continue giving birth. The boss can be responsible for her life and security during the period.
If Mahavira's mother can give birth to a white tiger cub, then he can construct a set of the highest-standard and perfect prosthetic body for her. From the prosthetic eyes to the spine to the legs, all of them will be strengthened, and then she can be adjusted back to normal.
Uptown life. As his own secret bodyguard - and as an assassin to eradicate his enemies.
——That's when she realized it.
Although the bodyguard profession is only about "protecting or not", in fact, the record is also very important.
She fought against eight experienced gun-wielding thugs with her bare hands, and killed four of them with her backhand after being shot first - even if the opponent only had a pistol in his hand, this was a feat that could be boasted. If she hadn't been shot by another
A big boss wanted her, otherwise she would actually have no shortage of employers.
But she had no choice.
Either starve to death, be tortured and killed in revenge, or abandon dignity and morality, obtain a stronger body, and restore one's own treatment.
Of course she would choose the latter.
But as she felt the rhythm of the fetus in her body, she gradually changed her mind.
She felt that it was not a ball of flesh, but a new life...
It's his own child.
When she was about to give birth, she couldn't sleep all night. She regretted it and wanted to leave with the child - but the result was a cold rejection.
Finally, it was determined by his hair color that he was at least white.
But if it's a cat or a dog, it's not rare enough. The rare thing is the white tiger, so we have to wait a few more years for the paranoia to be finalized.
The boss hesitated for a while, but decided to let it go and let it go for a few years to see if it was worth it. There was no need to regenerate it.
With fear, she breastfed her child and shed tears, waiting for the destined moment of separation. But the boss was too lazy to raise the baby and didn't seem to care about her that much. So he generously allowed her to give up the child.
Raise it until the child is three or four years old, wait until the child's psychic disease manifests, confirm that he is really a white tiger, and then take the child with him to Shangcheng District.
Four years have passed and the time of separation has come. During this time, she told Mahavira countless times that she should listen to her boss and take care of herself.
She is from Sogo Island and went to Happy Island because she had no job. She named her child "Mahabira", which means "great hero" in the Sogo Island dialect.
She hopes Mahavira can become a hero in the future——
If you become a hero on Happy Island, you will have a perfect and happy life. That is a brighter future than bodyguards and guards.
But in the end, Mahavira did not leave her. The boss did not send anyone to pick him up.
Then came five years and six years.
On Mahavira's seventh birthday, his psychic disease began to appear and worsened directly to a serious condition. She finally learned the true situation.
Because the "boss"'s child died four years ago - killed by another group of uncoded persons.
He no longer needs a playmate and bodyguard who will accompany his child to grow up, and everything has lost its value.
But fortunately, he did not vent his anger on Mahavira and his mother... In other words, three or four years have passed, and the boss has long forgotten about it. He found a better personal bodyguard,
A better assassin. He forgot that he had made a promise, so that a child who should not have been born was born.
And until now, the boss himself has died due to an accident, and his heirs are not interested in the business of selling this kind of transcendental videos. So he cut off all ties with Xiacheng District.
The "boss" whose name was unknown until his death, and the "boxing ring manager" under him finally got rid of his shackles - and established his own power based on the boxing ring.
Mahavira's nominal and blood father wanted to take him away and train him to be his own thug, and as a reliable successor, he would step in after he could no longer fight.
At this time, he no longer needs to box on his own. But the force he established, the Uncoded Group called the Black Tiger Group, gathered because of his strength. If he becomes weak, their "loyalty"
"will also disintegrate. Therefore, he must kill himself from time to time to prove that he is still strong.
But he also knows that he will eventually grow old. Therefore, he longs for a successor who will not liquidate himself after succeeding to the throne and who has the ability to sustain the organization.
At this time, he suddenly remembered - speaking of it, he seemed to have a son.
Because the boss's child died quite early. If you are lucky, he might not have time to be picked up by the boss.
Having lost her legs, she was unable to resist. She could only watch helplessly as Mahavira was taken away by his father.
But because of Mahavira's fierce resistance, he could come back one day a week to see his mother.
In order to punish Mahavira, to vent his accumulated dissatisfaction, and at the same time to tame his son, Mahavira was often beaten by his father. It was training in name, but in reality it was torture.
When Mahavira returned to his mother, she would look at him with heartache, pity, self-blame, and sadness, and gently caress his wounds.
"...will it hurt?"
Her hoarse voice trembled as she asked.
I asked knowingly. How could it not hurt when the injury was like this?
Mahavira thought.
"It doesn't hurt."
But in order not to worry his mother, Mahavira always replied nonchalantly: "It doesn't hurt at all."
