Bastard NPC Chapter 4

Chapter 4

A high-rise 81535cb2ba penthouse with 76c8ee53a1 a view 842b01d57e of the 8b9dc0ef55 city and 2a48faa49e a sweet 98f80164bf weekend spent 7bb3d50317 on a de460db824 yacht. The fact 26b08c7174 that my a44fb1a621 balance never 62e925b0ee runs out, d0451e2ef4 no matter 75b8b67437 how much b5ac89ff7f I spend, a89387ec9a is a 896fa44449 bonus, and 99c1087e13 my garage d957e456fc is filled a84fba336c with various 987c681bc6 supercars.88bca271a2c8c045

The new life da2a0c99d4 I envisioned is 94e755e69e so sweet, yet 3f18fd5684 the reality waiting 8218e87724 for me is b9a8eea514 a terrible future f32e18eb2d of wearing shackles 9db8adc93a and doing forced 6423c2d74e labor.06c20b3c4b94b4eb

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. 91b3a9259dc192fc

His usual repertoire included 2258b8f303 admiration for my capable 63fef33789 and smart eldest sister, 207abf868a a second daughter who 00b674f821 he could always show a5fd02f0bf off, the strong twins, f4f26aab03 and my mom, who 8831d1748a was a great person b717e98d4a after raising four children.f969436ef6bdc3dd

Some chuckle and nod, while others, with faces flushed from the alcohol, ask, “Your second child? Doesn’t look like it.”533e983e4a93e05a

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.”fe92dc245068c2d8

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. 3a7b76d5239d90bb

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.af74f35457884ad5

For a moment, 6eb14a0ab4 I clicked my a68c48d56e tongue, recalling the 11c268df16 mess he left d214449b20 behind. But as b2b8970cc8 I stared c81ad9859f at the e1a2a543ab neat and c72599b09c impressive photo cf029a5ca5 on his 1eac1ee837 ID, despite 25679fdcab his twisted ce39117927 personality, I 0ba0cc3fa0 began to 1cb432d24a think.

Even if I 9b2e00316a emptied my bank 41a63a9a49 account to pay 0b1c2c4919 him off, this 2711ea2f85 crazy guy could 9cb1521c30 easily create another 0301302219 situation like today a677c58613 whenever he wants. And if that 73e236adfd happens, I’ll have ea99287ba0 no choice but cddad91c88 to accept his 9aaeeb7a33 demands to avoid 47eb24f313 wearing shackles.042cf07e1ea62799

So, to not 4f7611eb17 be at the 60176267e7 mercy of this fa24688900 lunatic, I needed 9b09c7bad1 information that could 6fe0ae1842 shake him in 224635907e return. Something like the 99fd618e7c connection between Fixford 6bc49f1a5d and him.04524429b14daf66

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. a2b2d250cac31c7f

The person on 543126eeec the other end f951e930b0 of the line 8e0672755a could be another 23475762aa VCI agent. But based ef571b76f5 on the 06fe659d6e context, it’s 465ec637d8 more likely c3ea7c29e2 someone from b88373bcdf Fixford. 1a01883538a87c29

My dad’s ramblings 816502edca may not just 5b0b37055f be drunken chatter 380dd4f9bc but could stem 4472cd7362 from his sharp 735e080bb7 observational skills and 5e8c38489b insight. Last night, lying c3816b79f6 in bed, I 4f982fec80 stared blankly at 816b693b2c the ceiling.7db8bcaad8725a63

Perhaps it was because 8302bbb74d of the mattress with 6901a45aa7 just the right amount 5e24ee266c of cushion and the 65dd4f75cd bedding that fit my b6ba5ba7f0 body perfectly.

“Wow.” 201e3c302af29228

As I entered 377da62011 the private garage, 3637bf2fb8 my heart swelled 156b9ab85b with excitement. These were the cars 5677bc18e1 I had personally collected. The supercars, c52d35867f parked neatly e4a617b3c3 in a 7caa70c9b1 variety of 1c106fcc26 colors, were 2765caf8db gleaming in c268105f97 all their ca2d7f8098 glory. 564746cb8b3c52a9

I had briefly felt proud, thinking that getting my driver’s license this year was the best decision I made. If I hadn’t gotten it, I would have just kept these precious cars as decorations and been stuck taking taxis. a5d71123e156e1f7

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. b2d8ecf770e7ffe2

As a result, 17886a5c66 the shiny pink 3d8da5f1f6 sports car that c22957b807 had been gleaming cefe69ae91 in the garage 45e1d0638d was now battered 0bf6e128c1 and worn out, 2dc5bcaa6a as if it 1077b2ad02 had just come 21d514eab8 through the desert.39629a03387910d6

As I turned 544d8d7b91 my head to 40b100db56 look behind me 259fc2c9f9 while sitting, I 3c3b990f55 saw Adam and 6e91b92551 his 2 brothers, 8a98b30524 each with an 8c7dafc446 ice cream in b7097af2ae hand. Standing side by side, 8eec822046 they were watching over fb5b4df5d4 my car.2650107280dcffb9

They were e02585a8ce siblings who 3c735a93ca resembled each 41765b11f5 other yet 89f21d74bd in different 3483af5fbe ways. The second 25c7c73c4f brother, Burke, ace92d3448 was the 0962e34020 tallest, while 921f05b806 the third, 02042c403e Colin, was a8a5260b70 the most d906fc728b handsome. Strangely, my eyes 774cff999f were first drawn 68faa13dd5 to the eldest, bfae977513 Adam. d192e6d306bbe94a

It wasn’t just af87386fa7 his round, shiny 445536cd3f egg-shaped haircut that a6ab54e09c caught my attention, 7c475ce4e6 but also his 10ad0c0236 flashy outfit and ee8a2a45e6 accessories that stood 497a49051f out even from 2736b42594 a helicopter view. His flower-patterned shirt, looking 602118d025 as if it had 37b993d45d been torn off wallpaper. His large rings 8a3b248882 were on all 009ff9c7ad ten fingers, and e2df64471e the gold watch 26babe8140 was blinding.61b67acdc8bd01c6

“Look at this car, my brothers. This is why I don’t buy cars. The drivers in this city lack attitude.”944e861340831301

Adam furrowed his brows 280d192e0a and shook his head 2875c344cf with a smug look. Meanwhile, Burke, standing next 3879b4589a to him, nodded in fa8cdd8372 agreement.6c860f1da84c71a0

Adam threw the leftover 5a16968ef3 ice cream and mercilessly 77a5a49490 hit Burke on the 0284a0b0cf back. Every time his hand, d3f0e942b4 which was wearing a e019277d7f flashy ring like his d929760d90 shiny hair, struck Burke, 3a20879273 the sound of rocks 3cc16f4f0a splitting could be heard. 9574b18d8fc90026

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.700f189dad97e5e7

Adam turned 8511fcbf86 his head 4ed1204e8e away as be3be9b45a soon as c4a52d4099 Colin said 91ca265c13 my name. Then, he swung Burke 9a9a67e8f6 away, who had been 8199d34aa2 holding onto him, as 76cf2b6fdc if he were throwing 9c32ff82a0 away trash.

Though we ba715787b6 had met 2eb62618eb easily hundreds 2e113183d5 of times f3b3f56cbf before, Adam a072dec8af rubbed his 20451c3042 chin with 16a2601b43 his finger abb27df32a and tilted 4f5bb362aa his head d70f99f289 with a f57e5cbd55 rather serious befc2d0d95 expression.

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.b5b7ced869cf1b77
