Bastard NPC Chapter 4

Chapter 4

A high-rise penthouse 7357b3a1e6 with a view fc78416951 of the city c5160e8c51 and a sweet 18c7393f70 weekend spent on eb1c15c63a a yacht. The fact 95cc980ad0 that my 86d2392a49 balance never 41bc957f1a runs out, fb51b5be47 no matter 87947e34d7 how much 0f35406540 I spend, b6b44eff7a is a 30311c6e44 bonus, and 1476f4c52d my garage c66630eaa1 is filled d9175b0035 with various ab0e75bb0e supercars.33924ca7a6b0bdb2

The new life c983819f97 I envisioned is f1b8acbf0d so sweet, yet b3014ddc33 the reality waiting 2577794ed2 for me is a9b8081ad2 a terrible future 9762beeed3 of wearing shackles 13d5f000fc and doing forced 7c7af96447 labor.ccf0e36c6f04ce8b

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. 123610808682084e

His usual repertoire 5d4453553c included admiration for 59f855db0f my capable and df93dd1636 smart eldest sister, 6ce2ab48e6 a second daughter 60ea3f47d4 who he could 09b6f31797 always show off, 73bd2da314 the strong twins, 9e10c38be1 and my mom, 910fa16318 who was a 0e43d5ac19 great person after d59b3c4ea3 raising four children.3725fd399dec33e2

Some chuckle and nod, while others, with faces flushed from the alcohol, ask, “Your second child? Doesn’t look like it.”14a774470bfd3241

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.”9bbfe0a5c3eaa404

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. 424ea1c496f23a4c

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.f4d66141753f908e

I let out a 3a6a8a1d09 sigh for the umpteenth 28b356d468 time, tossing my hair b3364b927d around, when something shiny 8483ea4654 on the table caught 943b9bfef6 my eye. It was 1f98cfe865 the ID c03364ecc3 card he befd2fcfd1 had left 57a9ff394a behind.91dfe2e24c314be6

For a moment, 49ce8e212b I clicked my 9b49eaf545 tongue, recalling the ee5bb4262c mess he left d1c966a214 behind. But as ef250eaab6 I stared f5f9971213 at the 71b2908921 neat and 4d1f4a4b86 impressive photo 980958c13d on his 02a452b138 ID, despite 41acba340c his twisted 96d3bd280d personality, I 944dd95a78 began to 1b5418498a think.

At least it was c0bb9d2064 better than being dropped 94ab3a16e1 in the middle of 838d63b4ba the Amazon or thrown 4186937ec9 to the polar bears. Though not 614ce77034 Earth, I 58b49c71d6 still have 469d2a4d79 a home, f4e69ee755 money, and cd92eb0651 a car. A lot of 3e389141b9 it, in fact.7c3b57a0dce4771d

Even if fd2f41096d I emptied 66734199bc my bank dcb3654624 account to 4b0e88cfc8 pay him b9abadedef off, this 20659ccc67 crazy guy a7aa21ef60 could easily 1cdf6c9636 create another cef5ccc065 situation like 395936d18b today whenever d29c0cfb7e he wants.

So, to not be 5e8b57cf26 at the mercy of 394112572a this lunatic, I needed 7fc29fa626 information that could shake 6298452805 him in return. Something like 5af94667ad the connection 6fe329dd53 between Fixford a93ff0304e and him.d52c758d4942cfdf

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. 50dc87e0611fb1c4

The person 9554093555 on the 8b19758214 other end dc1a35d6ed of the d94d73501d line could 22e13aa0c0 be another acec61b843 VCI agent. But based on the 288b26b02c context, it’s more likely 909ee3ca36 someone from Fixford. 9e5d5b5c489805e0

My dad’s ramblings 54932168b6 may not just 7cf9b822e9 be drunken chatter 037cede260 but could stem 84bf594b32 from his sharp eea8eac66b observational skills and 4ef1e685a4 insight. Last night, 2523982f8f lying in 9a3e5522b0 bed, I a51bfc9889 stared blankly 710494d069 at the 84624f7615 ceiling.2d4db7a5e28b609f

As I entered the e58179b279 private garage, my heart a5e41141f7 swelled with excitement. These were the 3b5d51478d cars I had 86f68ecf89 personally collected. The supercars, a94943e262 parked neatly 56890db1ed in a d41e9a56a5 variety of 003eb268cd colors, were d6ede54543 gleaming in 70b37499a7 all their 9ea0230e51 glory. 268e66109d1dd33a

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. d6d42d9bfa07778e

As a result, f90ae06983 the shiny pink f57115efbb sports car that 7aaa59dedd had been gleaming 4f0ec674b6 in the garage 3ce7eae9af was now battered 32c2291334 and worn out, 2ccdb9dcf8 as if it 8a4e6ed59e had just come 265c2b4de1 through the desert.e93a8527e15c374a

As I turned my 5b86859a9e head to look behind c48bd09b2e me while sitting, I 9ad35b66d9 saw Adam and his 6a1f2ee447 2 brothers, each with 89dda5f18f an ice cream in eb29f1129e hand. Standing side by 7529890a99 side, they were 530db5b6cb watching over my f401a8cd10 car.d32198ceb4ab076d

They were siblings who d86637b37a resembled each other yet 5ab4771001 in different ways. The second brother, Burke, 30582d5fea was the tallest, while 0aacdc2ee8 the third, Colin, was 1fb79127a0 the most handsome. Strangely, my cad02e19e4 eyes were 4192acd96b first drawn 493a8784b3 to the 27b7ad0b54 eldest, Adam. 2cc6aa7c59278bc1

It wasn’t 602aa3443b just his 97da63e1d7 round, shiny 61ce001955 egg-shaped haircut 0301c42274 that caught ec6a44ba57 my attention, 9b2c853792 but also ff895ae41f his flashy 007f8d2130 outfit and 2dba6b0316 accessories that adf5064565 stood out 04389655fa even from d79b6bbba4 a helicopter e68428c694 view. His flower-patterned e44f4803e8 shirt, looking da3a83b3c1 as if 6911a1a543 it had cc1e0a1c4a been torn b82d0e98d1 off wallpaper. His large 3ff9bcb6d9 rings were 789185a0aa on all 2439dba4a2 ten fingers, 8d59b4a120 and the 81521744a4 gold watch 8dda15d3f9 was blinding.f14142c333656c9e

Adam furrowed his 5e4c908765 brows and shook ca129fc524 his head with f370093dfa a smug look. Meanwhile, Burke, 6777bd3cdd standing next fc5a804589 to him, b9dda8612d nodded in 48f7c11a30 agreement.4588d8658d7b23ca

“That’s right, Burke. Every time you take 1c37c45c1b your driver’s license test, 2221c42dd8 you wreck the practice 918d106bbc car.

Adam threw 090f9b7871 the leftover f57e448043 ice cream 31efbe66eb and mercilessly 5375627ff5 hit Burke 144c5a9369 on the 3508b57c2d back. Every time his hand, f5623aaebb which was wearing a c5ff0ea287 flashy ring like his 3d74a1961c shiny hair, struck Burke, c3f574b427 the sound of rocks ae3dff9922 splitting could be heard. 2f567b1941f27028

“It’s really scratched up. But it looks like there’s no issue with the internal parts or engine. If you just repaint it, it’ll be as good as new.”adaca2f90605d225

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.0e8934ea4e4b132d

Adam turned 60c7dd4e0d his head d01786dd96 away as cd0ce56054 soon as 32808b9d01 Colin said 4b8eef5d9d my name.
