Chapter 308 Heather's Past
Bafanjie slums... Mason Group's site.

In Midgar, whether it is the upper city or the lower city, almost every district has an underground boss who occupies the land as the king.For example, Alves in the upper area of ​​Sanfan Street, Hu in the lower area of ​​​​Sifan Street, Gu Liugenwei in the lower area of ​​Liufan Street, and Manson in the lower area of ​​Bafan Street. The underground emperor who dared to disobey.

Only the lower urban area of ​​Wufan Street and the lower urban area of ​​Qifan Street are exceptions.The former is due to some reasons that the Shinra spy agency [Tax] has overly monitored this place, and the latter is due to the existence of Heather.

When Heather came to the Seventh Street slum a year ago, it was not much better than other places. The underground boss here was named Dorag Langtail, and he organized a large group of thugs to control the Seventh Street. garbage dumps and water sources.

Suddenly a new face came to the slum of Qifan Street, Duoilege naturally sent his men to test to see if he was suitable to be a fat sheep or could be accepted as a dog.Then, as soon as the dirty-mouthed subordinate spoke a few words on the scene, Heather crushed the joints of his arms and legs on the spot. It is said that the wailing sound could be heard even in Bafan Street next door.

Threats, peace talks, lures, begging for mercy... No matter which method will work, Duoilege doesn't even know where he offended this evil star, watching the expressionless Heather all the way into him through the monitor Junkyard villa area.Anyone who dared to try to stop them along the way ended up crushing their joints and lying on the ground crying.

Finally, when Heather stood in front of the gate of the villa, Dorag's men escaped cleanly, and only Doleg was left trembling in the basement of the villa alone.

Later, no one knew what happened in the villa, but no one in the Qifan Street slums ever saw Duolege again, and the garbage dump villa area was also demolished.

People in Qifan Street kept this matter secret, and only the neighboring Bafan Street and Liufan Street vaguely knew some truth.Since the bigwigs in each fan district seldom interact with each other, Heather's name has not actually spread to other fan districts.

It was beyond the expectations of the people in the slums of Qifanjie. They thought that there would be a new emperor rising, but Heather lived in Tianwangzhuang very low-key after finishing this big event. I don’t know how he convinced Marle that Stubborn old lady.

For everyone in the Qifanjie slum, Heather's behavior and character are extremely weird even in the slum.Sometimes I can’t see him for several days, and sometimes I can see him bargaining and buying vegetables in the bazaar. No matter men, women, young or old, as long as they block his eyes, they will be rudely spoken and slapped, and even have several cheeks. Bo's young man was scolded and cried by him.

Gradually, people also accepted the existence of Heather.After all, with Heather here, at least there is no need to worry about the appearance of a new 'Dorag' in the slums of Qifan Street.

As for Helmer, who was negotiating with Heather, he belonged to an organization called [Avalanche].This organization used to be powerful, and there was only one idea in the organization, which was to overthrow Shinra, because they believed that Shinra's behavior of extracting Moko was slowly killing the planet.However, with the death and disappearance of the leader of Xue Beng and the powerful people from all walks of life, this powerful anti-Shinra organization now only has two or three big cats and kittens, huddled in the slums of Qifan Street, lingering on their last legs, and dare not let Shinra find out .

The aroma of the food wafted from Tianwangzhuang, Heather got the information and was too lazy to entangle with Helmer, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Heather!"

Helmer plucked up the courage to stop Heather: "Why do you hate Xue Beng so much? You can't hide the true face of Shinra. This planet is being sucked out of life by them and slowly dying. Are you just watching..."

"What does the life and death of this planet have to do with me?"

Heather let out a sneer: "Shinra, Avalanche, Planet, Moko... These have nothing to do with me, don't mess with me and everyone will be fine. Don't think that you are qualified if you bring some information that you don't know the truth of." Talk nonsense to me and get the hell out of here."

He was targeted by the planet's will everywhere, how could Heather rush to save the planet?It's not my home planet, the big deal is to pat your ass and leave after completing the mission. At that time, whether your ghost planet was swallowed by Jenova or just blown up is none of my business.

Helmer is still unwilling to give up: "If the planet is dead, no one can live. Heather, you are the strongest I have ever seen. If you lead the avalanche, you will definitely be able to compete against Shinra!"

Heather stopped, turned her head slowly to look at Helmer, and said sarcastically:
"Poor Helmer, are you still dreaming of overthrowing Shinra? If [Alfie] is still there, then I admit that you have a little hope, after all, he is a powerful swordsman who can draw with Sephiroth It's a pity that [Alfie], [Sales], [Fecito], [Ravens]...these pillars of the avalanche all collapsed, what's the use of leaving only you trash? Hiding in the slums and shivering while barking at the magic furnace above your head to vent your anger? Listen to my advice, give up this ridiculous dream as soon as possible and go back to your hometown to farm."

After speaking, Heather walked away.

Only Helmer in the alley stood silently, motionless.

………………

In the kitchen on the first floor of Tembozhuang, Marle was chatting with Tifa while cooking.

"Yes, that's it. First put the minced meat and fry until cooked, then add chili powder and chopped tomatoes."

Tomato soup was simmering in the pot, and Marle instructed Tifa to make Midgar's famous dish [pesto soup].

Tifa is so ingenious that she only needs to be taught by Marle once, and she can follow the instructions almost exactly.A strong aroma wafts through the kitchen as the soup churns in the small cast-iron pot with the pitted edges.

Tifa took a deep breath, her stomach suddenly rumbled, and her little face turned red immediately.

Marle laughed: "Aren't you hungry? Don't wait for that kid, let's eat directly! Let me tell you, Tifa, pesto soup is to tear the bread into small pieces and soak it in the soup, very delicious."

Tifa swallowed quietly, but she shook her head firmly: "Grandma Marle, please eat first, I'll eat together after Senior Brother comes back."

Marle walked to the table, sat down, lit a cigarette and took a puff, then slowly exhaled a burst of smoke and looked at Tifa: "...you have been in touch with Heather for a day, how do you feel about him? "

Facing the question suddenly raised, Tifa was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Senior brother, he feels very reliable to me. It seems that nothing can trouble him, and he is also very kind to me. Granny Marle, Why do you say senior brother he..."

She hesitated to speak, but Marle understood what she meant and sighed: "You want to say that we say Heather is [weird], right?"

Tifa was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"You didn't see the tragedy that day, so naturally you wouldn't be afraid of him. Duolege is an underground boss who has dominated the slums of Qifan Street for many years. There are dozens of thugs under his command. But such a powerful force was killed by him a year ago. Heather, who had just arrived, crushed directly with thunder, and it only took two hours."

Marle flicked the cigarette ash and sighed:

"Rationally speaking, people in Qifan District are very grateful to Heather, and even secretly hope that Heather can become the patron saint of the slums in Qifan Street and become our hero. But we soon discovered that he is moody and repulsive. Thousands of miles away. Nothing can impress him, so he just hides himself in the thick ice wall and doesn’t talk to anyone. He doesn’t get in, treats people extremely indifferent, this is my evaluation of him.”

Tifa was in a hurry: "But brother, he is obviously not such a person! He just, just can't express well..."

"You know, for the people in the slums of Seventh Street, Heather is not a hero we look forward to, nor is he a thug that we fear. He is like... like a traveler passing through here, just so indifferent And watch everything from above, even intervene occasionally, just out of interest or because you are offended."

A puff of smoke was slowly exhaled from the mouth, and Marle was faintly shrouded in white smoke:

"Before you came, I was worried about the child. But now it's all right."
