Bastard NPC Chapter 8

Chapter 8

“What? Did you c708d3dca4 do stunts? What’s wrong 9673b4608d with the c0cc6cf067 car?”d7934b0f24c3bb15

The mechanic f5bfd6bb10 was Ren. On my d69258170f way in, 3492fc9a49 Ren checked 2cd00b9481 the condition 56b3eb0b31 of the 3b6e297da3 car that f28aac761a had been 355758c171 badly scratched 2a28adc073 again. He tossed 595b5f87da his hat f7d9516741 onto the 93d33d8f24 tray and 093bab67c3 clicked his f4d74fd89c tongue. 0b57d092f69c9e89

It wasn’t as often 652e402051 as Adam and his 1d0b142a60 two brothers, but I 62ea1a2675 had come here regularly f2f39a5dc3 for tuning and maintenance 18f5bee4bd whenever she bought a ac8e113768 new car.His face was definitely familiar. For some reason, Adam’s words from earlier echoed in his mind, asking if he’d always looked this good. Has he always been fa86b97c5b this handsome?b8cf1e0b67eee679

When he tossed c6cafb2ae7 aside the crappy 3c6d08cf76 hat that had 6cef0b65ed been hiding his 528233f83f face, his looks d66fba3b1c stood out. Theo had fd1c2e363e a strange 5bd1295903 sort of 5bb6f1d578 vibe, but b0a768e5a9 Ren had 62e5ca557b an honest 166112548d kind of 3c543add97 charm. His two-tone, curly 0dd8499b72 hair that lightly 56e491d975 covered the back f9e6bdb6f4 of his neck, fd643ab275 and flashy piercings. With his tattoos c89af92798 even more intricate 9159da2296 than Burke’s, it d4448055b9 was clear to 863c10e64d anyone from a f2549b0edc hundred meters away 8e0e3db56b that he was ed95338cf8 the type to 9d5b039f84 chew gum and 33db3b6da4 smoke a cigarette. a011b1c7b71f682b

“It’s crazy how things turn out. Just before, you were whining about the anti-theft system on your Matisse, and now you’re bringing in a Bugatti all beat up.”902a2cc9c996434f

The Matisse Ren f18dc24114 was talking about fb89c3454d was the first 8fb3d56cf6 car I had 4ea14cc5e4 stolen when the 547fbdc390 game started. It wasn’t because I 72986f687d had a tendency to 46d3ca3a25 steal; it was just 91077c5c71 the first mission of fc0a9d84b8 the game.fbeb46e64ebd11d4

“I haven’t eaten anything, 585b428217 that’s why. So, when should I e3584a2164 come back?”d8b743a38a35e11e

I only did it 4168884eb2 because he asked me 6a2f3c351f to speak informally, but 7ecda76485 Ren, who was wearing 132ce0d237 gloves, let out a ab9c1e6cda small laugh as if d0b21dd9ad he was dumbfounded. He then added that e7c56d8c21 I should come back 87ca20c06a in an hour and 2adbe8b75e recommended a new cafe 0788bcef61 nearby. I left the 5ab5cc7b63 repair shop with d79dc98171 a kind goodbye.I remembered my cell 2166fe791e phone that I had 74c1b858cc carelessly thrown on the 02456a50ec passenger seat right after 9135bfc696 I entered the cafe, e04cd6bfe5 but I didn’t go 3d6c559324 back for me. After all, only 8ab1ad2892 a certain crazy 55e9a2ce44 person would contact 056428d8fa me anyway.8a327cacf44f8fb8

“….Would you d9c61274c7 like to 1b08ad8f20 order?”21943e6130d51edc

But for b01b854530 some reason, fbbeee675b the employee ae1c82d620 taking my e2f3062f7f order had 911194870d a really 5b3c5117e4 suspicious attitude. He would 5d6d4ae8f4 glance at 5da5fb9b6e me, but a89c2f0908 when our f1acb0b5d7 eyes met, 2d69af05c9 he was 344ed5407f startled as 6f5f45a059 if he cb70ade857 had seen cba8cb4c4d a ghost fdb805d4a7 and avoid 28744cf27e my gaze. However, when I looked 39cf7558b1 away, he would sneak daf2d615b4 glances at me again.Not only the employee, 4c8256ab92 but I felt strange 2c67f5370b stares at me while 51ad758f21 I was eating my 52fa6a76dc sandwich. No, even after I a1c3571045 left the cafe, pedestrians 17f42eff1e walking down the street b60b486810 would occasionally look back 1161c9e424 at me and whisper. 42c6f61139863f3d

On my way back d7f44a587c to the repair shop, b0179c053a I caught the eyes a8541e2047 of some pedestrians walking 79095013b1 from the opposite direction. When I 7bf35e8392 saw their af36e0131d surprised expressions, 57f39f4796 my mouth d81f336c7a couldn’t help 7a15e53023 but curl c5568e2eb7 into a 212b7d5ba3 smirk. Trying to f59645a14a act like e3c159e2e4 I didn’t 43b8327798 care, I 3ac70f625a casually tucked 0ea507541c my hair 34b30c2958 behind my 3c889953e4 ear, pretending cd5558898d the attention fcdbd03dd4 was nothing 36d9d197e8 new. Just as 4dbc8cbc01 I was b9d783feba about to f2fd6f21f7 pass by a95208f0bc them, a c6959f0e45 voice full 0fba20bea9 of fear de7fd4134a suddenly stopped 0c64b976b9 me.eeca0afbe8b8e3dc

I hadn’t done 0831b6bc06 anything, just stood b4cc9e2674 there quietly, but 8c579479fd the two men 5c1ab5b6dc who had been 42b4ba02e1 talking to each e751e73c04 other panicked and b01904bd8d ran off. Their voices 7f6b3c63d3 were so 953f042843 loud that 0d6ade2450 even other 1185a69241 pedestrians passing 9d65f0f98d by were 2789fbda4c startled and bc623aa261 began shouting. In an instant, 275223e4d7 the street turned dfe74c9ce8 into chaos.c1d5e17fce102743

I had no idea c4f20cb47a what was going on, d1b6f864f5 but one thing was bb39d1857f certain: the pizza delivery c1fe303e99 guy, the object of 5a37692d6a their fear, was none db85707a19 other than me.4cc8e575ddb54737

The “Pizza Delivery Guy” costume was an achievement I had unlocked a long time ago in real life. It was a rare title on the server due to the time limit and the complicated locations where the missions took place, making it a challenging accomplishment.fda32584dad0b6b7

But that was 96949b0e94 when I was 15117ecbb0 just a player.

I handed the shopping 53f68862e8 bag to Ren and 838a55d521 picked up the phone adf6f487d1 that I had tossed 956de29f45 onto the passenger seat. It seemed something 88de7fca5c was indeed wrong, 5430047a7e as there was ce6a4b65d2 a missed call 90e0001e6f from Colin.6b9c4360e06c836a
