Manson Gurup’s lair is a huge courtyard, located in the deepest part of the slums on Bafan Street and close to the outer wall.
The high wall outside the courtyard is made entirely of discarded iron plates and wooden boards, which are tied with spiked steel cables and thick iron wires. The surface of the wall is covered with random spray-paintings.
Two burly men wearing nailed leather jackets stood on duty in front of the gate of the wall. The two people who were chatting suddenly noticed a figure appearing at the end of the steamy street in the distance.
He has black hair, wears glasses, has an ordinary appearance, wears cheap clothes and looks thin. He has no sense of threat, and he looks like a resident of the slums.
One of the strong men laughed: "Hey kid, you're in the wrong place! This is Boss Manson's territory, watch out for your life!"
Another strong man laughed wantonly: "You want to find your mother to breastfeed? Then you have to go to the Walled Commercial Street, hahaha..."
Click!
Before the second strong man who taunted could finish his words, his jaw suddenly went numb. In the sight of his companions, this mean-mouthed man had his jaw removed, his limbs and joints were twisted into weird shapes, and he collapsed.
It made a frightened and painful "ho ho" sound on the ground.
Heather quietly appeared behind the first burly doorman and said in a calm tone: "Do you want to be like this too?"
The burly doorman shook his head desperately.
“Open the door and notify Manson Gulup that [Heather] is coming to visit.”
Heather? The burly doorman thought the name was familiar at first, and then his eyes suddenly became horrified. He was the super ruthless man who killed the boss of Doleg from the slums in Qifan Street in just two hours! He was not just in Qifan Street.
Are you doing any activities? Why did you come to the slums of Baban Street?
The thoughts just ran through his mind quickly. The strong man immediately pressed the red button of the remote control in his pocket without hesitation, and the dark red door covered with rust behind him slowly opened with a creaking sound.
Under Heather's gaze, the strong man tremblingly took out his walkie-talkie and pressed the call button: "Is Boss Manson here?"
【The boss is having a meal, what's going on?】
“Yes, a guest is coming.”
【Hmm? Guest?】
“It’s [Heather]!”
【Hiss...】The walkie-talkie took a breath, and it was silent for a while before it started ringing again——
【The boss said, please move to the main hall of Manson Mansion.】
The strong man hung up the walkie-talkie and looked at Heather timidly: "Boss Heather, look... how about I take you there?"
“Lead the way.” Heather said concisely and to the point.
Manson Yard was transformed from a huge garbage dump. It is full of abandoned cars from the upper floors, huge metal parts, and mechanical facilities, forming mountains of scraps. There are still some gaps between the mountains filled with water vapor.
At the end of the wide passage is a unique three-story villa made of metal parts.
Manson Gulup himself had already taken the lead in coming to the door of the villa to greet Heather.
This is a middle-aged man with dark skin and an unusually strong build. He is wearing an open-chested red leather jacket and black leather pants. There are horrific claw marks on the corners of his mouth and bare chest. He wears dark sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and has long hair combed
It became big and small dreadlocks hanging on the back of my head.
Manson Gurup, the underground king of the slums of Bafan Street.
When Heather looked at Manson, the latter also looked at Heather through his sunglasses.
Doleg from the Qifan Street slum is a big boss with many subordinates. Although his power is not as powerful as Kuruneo, who has controlled the walled commercial street for many years, he can control the life and death of ordinary people in the Qifan Street slum.
The strength on our side is almost the same.
It was such an underground boss. Under the hands of this humble young man in front of him, he didn't even last two hours, and his territory was razed to the ground. From then on, the name Doleg completely disappeared in Midgar. Chapter 7
Street slums have also become 'land of freedom'.
Manson didn't dare to bet on whether Heather would move into the slums on Badan Street on a whim. He could only secretly pray that Heather would come to him for help if she really had something to do, and then he could let this evil star satisfy him as much as possible.
Get lost.
Resistance? Don't be stupid. The guy in front of you has at least the strength of Shinra Company's 2nd level [Special Forces]. His subordinates are just a gift to him.
After a few simple greetings, Manson invited Heather to the living room. He first politely asked Heather if she had any idea of having a meal together. After being rejected, he asked tentatively: "Brother Heather, I don't know what's going on."
How can I help?"
Heather put her hands in her pockets and was looking at the decoration of the living room. Unexpectedly, Manson was quite tasteful. The decoration here was filled with a hardcore wasteland metal punk feel, a bit like "Mad Max".
When he heard Manson's inquiry, he said without looking back:
“I heard that you have a new subordinate named [Kos]?”
“Coase?”
Manson was stunned for a moment: "Probably a few months ago, I did take in such a subordinate. Is this guy... causing trouble? He just came to the slums not long ago, and maybe he was ignorant and offended Brother Heather.
I don’t know if I can…”
If it were any other subordinate, Manson would have handed it over immediately without saying a word. But Kos was different. This guy was originally a prominent figure in the urban area of Bafan Street. Even though his family was ruined and he lived in the lower-class slums, he still had a lot of money and many connections.
Guang. He found a partner rather than taking on a younger brother. Manson had recently made a lot of money relying on Cos's connections. It was really hard for him to hand over Cos rashly.
“He hasn’t offended me yet. It depends on his reply and attitude.”
In Manson’s eyes, Heather was the evil Riddler, but Manson really didn’t want to offend such an evil star, so he had to tell his men to bring Cos over.
After a while, the door of the living room was pushed open, and a young man with long curly hair walked in.
He was wearing some old-fashioned SUPERDRY brand fashion clothes, with long wet curly hair hanging casually on his shoulders. Although his face was still handsome, his deep-set eye sockets and high cheekbones ruined the beauty, and he had a deep anger on his face.
.
“Manson, are you looking for me?” Kos asked rudely as soon as he came in, his voice a little hoarse.
Manson pointed at Heather and said something to the point: "It's Brother Heather who is looking for you. Cos, if there is any dispute or misunderstanding, just talk it over, don't be so nervous."
Kos looked at Heather with an impatient look on his face: "Who is this kid? Heather? I don't know him!"
"This..." Manson looked at Heather, then at Kos, and had to stand up and leave the living room: "You guys talk slowly, just tell the men at the door if you have anything to do."
Click, the door is closed.
Kos sat down on the sofa and sunk deeply in. He took out the metal cigarette case from his arms and lit one for himself. He took a nice puff and then blew out a large cloud of smoke towards Heather: "Tell me.
, What are you looking for from me? It’s not impossible to borrow money, but I don’t like your attitude.”
Heather sat on the sofa opposite him, with a half-smile on her face: "My name is Heather, and I come from Qifan Street Lower City."
“Oh, Qifan Street slum, I also stayed there for a while. Why, do you want to make friends?” Kos crossed his legs and held a cigarette between his fingers.
“No, I came to you on behalf of others.”
Heather stood up, put her hands in her pockets, and looked down at Kos who was sunk in the sofa. The corners of her mouth slowly raised:
“Do you remember an old man named [Monty]?”
Monty Coss fell into a brief thought, and then his originally indifferent expression gradually turned ugly: "...It's still about that bar? It's not over, right? I got this bar through legal means, Monty
But I signed the contract!"
"Using deception to buy that bar for less than one-twentieth of the price, and then hiring someone to severely injure Monty and throw him out of Midgar? It's indeed [legal]. Then I'll use a little more with you [
Legal means..."
Heather's tone gradually became colder:
"I spent a year and a half looking for you, and I have to say that your skills in hiding and running away are indeed very good. But you also have another enemy, [Naya], remember this name? She wanted to avenge you.
But you willingly owe me a favor."
Beads of sweat continued to leak out from Kos's forehead. He suddenly threw the metal cigarette case and lighter in his hand at Heather, then stood up holding on to the armrest of the sofa and tried to escape. As soon as he stood up, he fell to the ground suddenly.
All the joints of the limbs are twisted and deformed.
“Let me put it bluntly. I am not a messenger of justice, but an assassin on commission, a very romantic kind.”
Heather slowly squatted in front of Kos, who was lying on the ground squirming and wailing. He took out a contract from his arms and unfolded it in front of Kos:
"Monty's only wish before he died was for you to die. I owed him a favor, so I agreed. I didn't expect that when I came to Midgar, I found that you actually abandoned the bar and ran away. I had no choice but to entrust
Other forces are investigating the matter. Fortunately, you couldn't bear the loneliness and showed up in Bafan Street again. This time you can't run away. Look, is it this contract? The one you tricked old Monti into signing.
.”
“Ahhhh! You, you, you...uhhhhh...what do you want to do...ahhh!"
Cos was in pain and could not speak clearly, and his whole body was shaking violently. He looked expectantly in the direction of the door from time to time, but his new partner did not show up, and the door was not even opened once.
Coase understood that he had been abandoned.
He was originally a respectable man from the downtown area of Bafan Street, and he opened a bar with Naya. But he was obsessed with Naya's beauty, and he had the audacity to drug her. He thought that everything would be fine after he coaxed her away, but Naya didn't expect that.
Ya is a woman with a strong personality and her family has a good position in the Shinra Company. In order to save his life, Kos had to abandon the real estate and family business in the downtown area of Bafan Street and move to the slums of Qifan Street.
During this period, he met old Monty, who until a few years ago had been selling cocktails from a cart in the slums. After saving enough money, he opened a bar called "Seventh Heaven" in the slums of Qifan Street.
When we were in the Qifan Street slums, the bar had just been built not long ago.
Cos tricked old Monty into saying that he was a famous bartender on Bafan Street. He himself did have a few tricks. After showing his tricks to old Monty a few times, the old man believed him and was willing to open this bar in partnership with Cos. Cos felt that he could rely on this
After making a lot of money in the bar, he returned to Bafan Street for revenge. So he tricked old Monty into signing the contract in Heather's hand and took the bar as his own for 40,000 GIL.
Immediately afterwards, he hired Doleg's thugs to seriously injure old Monty who was trying to argue with him, and threw him out of Midgar's outer wall at night.
He originally thought that he could make a lot of money by relying on his bartending skills and the bar, and even changed the name of the bar to "Wild Fire" in order to avenge Naya's "Wild Rose". But Doleg was greedy and planned to give Kos a hard blow.
However, Kos did not dare to disobey Doleg and could only abandon the bar and run away. After hiding in the slums of Wufan Street for more than a year, he dared to go to Bafan Street to seek refuge with Manson after hearing that Doleg's gang had disappeared inexplicably.
I will soon be able to make a name for myself and go to Bafan Street to seek revenge on that bitch Naya! Why, just bullying a lonely old man in the slums can cause such terrible trouble!?
"You... oh... you can't kill me..." Kos burst into tears and said intermittently with his whole body twitching: "That bar... still... still belongs to me... don't kill me, I'll give the bar... away
……give you……"
Heather smiled and shook her finger: "NONONO, you made a mistake. I didn't come to you to force you to transfer the bar, I just wanted to make you understand. Old Monty didn't tell you that the bar actually still exists.
Do you owe money to the carpenter of Qifan Street Construction? After you die, the bar will be owned by the carpenter because of the debt, and I will pay to officially buy the bar from the carpenter. But all this has nothing to do with you.
Yes, you just need to provide your 'brain'."
Speaking, Heather folded the contract in half and then in half again, then slowly tore it into pieces and sprinkled them on Kos: "So, are you ready?"
“Don’t…don’t kill…”
Heather's right arm suddenly made a blast of air, and the fierce air blade she drew directly cut Kos's neck, leaving a deep and huge crack in the living room.
Outside the door, Manson was sitting on a chair sweating profusely, tapping the armrests of the chair with his fingers.
Bang! The door of the living room suddenly opened. Manson subconsciously looked up, but was hit by a heavy object in his arms. When he looked closely, he found that it was the painful and hideous head of Kos.
“Let your men spread the word that Kos is dead and his head is with you.”
Heather, who was standing at the door of the living room, had no blood on her body, and still looked calm and calm: "Is there any problem?"
For a moment, Manson really wanted to order his men to shoot Heather with guns. He had no intention of revenge even after Kos died. This was a huge blow to his reputation. But in the end, he still slumped down.
The person on the chair whispered: "No, no problem..."
Manson once encountered a monster on the outskirts of Midgar. All his companions died and he was the only one who survived. The scars on his chest and mouth were witnesses. He could feel that although the black-haired young man in front of him was dressed in human clothes, he was really not human in his bones.
An absolutely terrifying monster.
Can't be provoked, dare not disobey... Compared to one's own life, what is a mere face?
Finally, under the watch of Manson's men, Heather left Manson's courtyard and disappeared at the end of the steamy street.
But Manson stood in the blood-spattered living room, looking at the deep and huge crack, and said nothing for a long time.
