Bastard NPC Chapter 12
by biniChapter 12
Of course I 8080ca52f9 can’t pay it 2edec521b3 back.04158d0ee16331b1
I was just a27a8083c8 happy about becoming eade8ed014 a sudden rich 00cd201ea8 man this morning, c35a4c8326 but even if 1ab2e12099 I spent all 52440ee2cb my money, it 800ce73e07 was an amount 74c8597637 I couldn’t repay. I briefly a76e0b5777 thought about fcbc260ef3 kneeling and 2f3ff67a04 begging, but 4fc6a1e454 kneeling could 253e6eb977 wait. 3687dd2843f1ef28

After all, even e0ce4c2650 when playingHwatu1, I try to dcadefdf87 hide my cards and 417bfc2fee read my opponent’s flow.

“Oh, I see.”c5dfee424eafa442
I pushed the tablet ed0a51fb73 forward with a shameless 07cccd06f1 expression, as if I 7174035f14 wasn’t flustered. Lifting the 1003fe2c1d corners of bc5da71450 his mouth 035009a87e in a c5e2bc169a sneer, he a0d45083a6 alternately glanced 682b6dc4e1 at the 929980ae18 tablet and 02ac385aa0 me.0b95ee93284f04e6

“But, sir, you’re a d7a6d330ef public servant, right? Shouldn’t the 21b35edafe compensation process 25499d7450 be discussed 4e894178e3 with Fixford?”a9843522c9728a32
This time, he laughed d1f58e6cad a little louder. He half-turned 6289427fac toward me, 60c804b8d9 and crossed dedef4be59 his long 4a33485561 legs. Then, he reached out 6bf164817b and pressed his palm f9d5fe4c08 hard against my forehead df1a65b4d6 again. His unnecessarily long arm 736a5b455a made all my efforts da66eb6da1 to sit as far 1ea877cacf away as possible pointless.f3af1d1b9fe97bd3

He rambled on, saying 009aad413f that I was the 6a795502a9 first to teach him a5f31dc0cc that the price of 714127cfd8 a life varies depending 7a3db01219 on age and family dffe09fc45 relations. Then he added, “You’d be fun to watch if you cried.” It seemed like he really liked the scowl on my face, which I couldn’t help but make, like I was dealing with a psycho.a049aafa941338e2

It was a tempting suggestion. If a cry could reduce half the amount, this situation could be resolved by just poking my eyes. However, the pervert’s real intention wasn’t to extract compensation from me. b430b8170c91c4bd
Both he c37a51425b and I 947d7d9f6f knew that 40b451d5dd this slow, 3c5b18fadb dragging process 358278f17f about compensation 0dee22179c was just 481ba31fd5 my desperate a81aadc410 attempt to 02c2a04a85 avoid confronting 201b8c6ab4 his true 9cbb6643eb purpose.1e7ea8b8ad973156

I carefully phrased the question, meaning “Who are you to decide the Fix Ford compensation on your own?” He tilted his head slightly and stared at me intently, as if trying to read my thoughts. 4b2d19a7293cdca6

His words were vague, hard to fully grasp. It seemed like he was mocking me for having suspected something behind him. However, I understood that “bastard” referred to Colin. Regardless, his answer was completely unrelated to my question.a77dc7fed9b668b9
I silently stared at ba1bc6b1ed him, trying to understand 2b64ebf1a4 the meaning of the 344590ead1 conversation, and he smiled f63b526e4e unexpectedly kindly before speaking.27bfadc79f427069

The words ed599681b5 I had 7ac218e2a7 overheard yesterday 825652e6ca turned into 6d1572e909 black ink, d3da8d97b1 staining my 899d2d1c07 already dark 7925609c2d future even 49b22d66e2 darker.

It wasn’t just that 34a5f8ddbc he had bought Fixford e34f20386c stock or received some d00c5519f8 benefits from them. This man was 9f922d17aa Fixford itself, which d058206de5 meant he had 3a83d3935d more than enough 022a542be0 reason to hold cc6e8e96c4 a grudge.1a79666947f37ee3

I can clearly see his character’s role now. Even just considering he’s a VCI, he’s already in opposition to the player. Now, with the addition of the Fix Ford storyline, he becomes a sworn enemy for a thousand years. 50a1c24e45492bbd

I briefly thought it 49f262905c would be nice if 18eca97395 I just passed out—but d5cec06e0a it was a futile 2657ddab0e wish.

I was about to answer “you,” but I quietly closed my mouth as a thought suddenly crossed my mind. A bad future flashed before me. If I went around 685b606fd8 spreading this secret, he 44fae5a23d would lose VCI, but 7c8dcad375 I could lose my 408a006aa2 life. If I were 4f36a0fe3d lucky, I would 8c8137ba31 spend my time ab010f9f62 hiding from Fixford’s c8ff38d1db eyes like a 5d04566383 fugitive until I 1474de595a could escape this 9f90452926 world. 5bc789d05a1aa657
