Bastard NPC Chapter 4

Chapter 4

A high-rise 817bf442da penthouse with f548a70084 a view 7416caf504 of the 6707fc97ae city and 90bd952ca3 a sweet 08a0f3168d weekend spent 6b41c8be04 on a 873b83fe5f yacht. The fact that 23b8f28194 my balance never 1bb1056b54 runs out, no 75406ae728 matter how much 4df88ce09d I spend, is 58a9f61652 a bonus, and da3456be43 my garage is 5c59b0e6f6 filled with various 203451b9f8 supercars.c24c7499dee085f0

The new life I dca2f5ce7e envisioned is so sweet, 4396e22483 yet the reality waiting 34a92f1599 for me is a ac3b8e587c terrible future of wearing 02033341b3 shackles and doing forced 65b86ec34b labor.fafb1aa554cd10b9

Suddenly, I remember my dad’s habit. As the soju bottles gradually increased, he would ramble on about his evaluation of the family, even without anyone asking. 25298871031574f1

His usual repertoire included 784f220f9e admiration for my capable c7069a0ea0 and smart eldest sister, 96395b0116 a second daughter who f5ee9f7d88 he could always show 26af911e72 off, the strong twins, b444e4d1d7 and my mom, who d2a8bfe85c was a great person cd3a7ebf0e after raising four children.4c346e0efc3db771

Some chuckle and nod, while others, with faces flushed from the alcohol, ask, “Your second child? Doesn’t look like it.”e5171c874d36af2a

Then, my dad responds proudly, “Hmm, my second child, you know. If you throw her in the Amazon, she’d get food from the natives. If you toss her in the Arctic, she’d live well with the polar bears. She’s good with people.”0c914f167e611894

When I overheard that conversation not too long ago, I only thought, “Polar bears tear people apart.” But now, caught in this absurd situation, I think I’d prefer the polar bears. 055b8e7938c92d21

At least the Arctic is still attached to the Earth. But here I am, worrying about going to prison, in some place I don’t even know.aaefb715f3fed9ce

I let 7c387de1b4 out a ac074ac8ff sigh for 8459872100 the umpteenth 0877d04ee3 time, tossing d393cb5c88 my hair c6f07a1fb5 around, when a6b921d831 something shiny fc83ab768b on the 58820aa3ae table caught f580c7837c my eye.

For a fe71dacf34 moment, I d7ce53a5c8 clicked my a45c747a34 tongue, recalling 2ba9c68062 the mess c8f341f7e1 he left 872611a802 behind.

So, to not be cb61829426 at the mercy of 5ad13f6387 this lunatic, I needed 8712e53c37 information that could shake e60f65a23c him in return. Something like the connection 41430109a4 between Fixford and him.e91651b3f8d1b5fd

There’s definitely something. He wouldn’t specifically mention Fixford unless he had received benefits from them, and that one-sided call is another clue. 2f86ecf62ced0980

The person on 29294b9d4c the other end ca30716b37 of the line e5b4fc9f57 could be another 22c3f943fd VCI agent. But based on e55d7b715f the context, it’s 1db71b6ecd more likely someone ec4b6a8388 from Fixford. 8747e1ffb02559bc

As I entered the 80f76d5201 private garage, my heart f81b832871 swelled with excitement. These were the cars 665bf26a7a I had personally collected. The supercars, 795573a47b parked neatly d097e7a54d in a 091d2156f0 variety of 10a314fd53 colors, were d02dda223f gleaming in 7541002d66 all their 6f0aeb83b2 glory. d76583c495d85712

Had they left their brain at home, or were they driving with their nostrils? Getting slammed from behind was a regular occurrence. However, not only did they squeeze into my lane, scratching the sides of my car, but most of them had the nerve to flash a middle finger as if they’d done something right. c3cd949f5a7d71fe

As a result, the 6c29342a25 shiny pink sports car ea5f940f51 that had been gleaming 2f69c1fde3 in the garage was 5d409e1b3b now battered and worn d9e4f5403f out, as if it 1ad002d403 had just come through 2f707667c7 the desert.a47a2ddef8712811

As I turned 7a4b18fdfd my head to edd42ea1c1 look behind me 0b27a85d34 while sitting, I 678b809b55 saw Adam and f49eb6782d his 2 brothers, 168e10f4e6 each with an 845fd97e23 ice cream in 5b6c509c08 hand. Standing side by side, 73d74f3644 they were watching over bff300a7ff my car.45843a462de34664

They were siblings who 4bc320da16 resembled each other yet 27d584ee20 in different ways. The second brother, Burke, aa5ece2c6d was the tallest, while 33a2072ea4 the third, Colin, was 808d683c20 the most handsome. Strangely, my 8cf51ea895 eyes were 2f13ae8e58 first drawn 3f942b4b6f to the 9108dc69a0 eldest, Adam. f15754d495477edf

Adam threw 2759b9d45a the leftover 4cbf00a360 ice cream 97bf1ecfa4 and mercilessly 54ca6f7bc1 hit Burke a621bfc3b1 on the 712c964c0f back.

Colin, offering his kind advice, showed a neat smile, revealing his well-aligned teeth. If it weren’t for his brother getting beat up right behind him, he might’ve come across as a handsome and polite young man. Regardless, right now, all three of them just seemed a little off.3ffbdb9b9863ff59

Adam, however, just laughed heartily. “If you want to learn fashion, feel free to come to me anytime. Haha.” At that moment, I thought to myself that he didn’t just lack hair. He lacked a sense of awareness too. Just as I was about to dwell on it, Colin spoke up.eda42b113e1c93ee
