Personality V: I will save everything

To be honest, when he originally promised Kreacher to donate money to the orphanage, but on the condition that he went to the orphanage to take a look, Andrew thought in his heart that he would definitely regret it.

However, as expected, his hunch was correct.

This...is...a house?

To be honest, the building in front of me... let's call it a building, is just a small house made of bricks and plaster in a field surrounded by a rusty iron fence.

The wooden steps in front of the door creaked when he walked on them. Andrew was afraid that if he stepped on them, he would break the steps on the spot.

He was obviously walking on the ground, but Andrew felt like he was walking on thin ice.

"S...w...e...t... H...m...e...Sweet Home?" Andrew tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and reluctantly read out the name of the orphanage.

It's really not Andrew's fault. The orphanage's plaque is completely made of a large wooden board as the base, and then several thin wooden boards are used to form letters and spliced ​​into words. Some of the letters have even fallen off.

Andrew's ability to pronounce the name of the orphanage correctly is already impressive.

Andrew sighed, the situation in the orphanage was worse than he imagined.

But Kreacher Pearson, who brought him to the orphanage, didn't think so.

"Welcome to my kingdom, Mr. Andrew." Kreacher stood under the orphanage's plaque and bowed to Andrew, like a comic stage actor.

"Well, yes, that's right, it's a great honor." Andrew said following Kreacher's words. (Reading)

Obviously, Andrew's answer made Kreacher very satisfied. He was really happy. This was the first time that someone other than the orphanage recognized him as a "king".

However, in fact, Andrew only answered Kreacher's words perfunctorily on the surface. Deep down, he was thinking, is this person sick? (;all)

Andrew has begun to regret why he came to this orphanage... He is not even sure if it is the building of the orphanage.

Andrew had begun to classify Kreacher as mentally ill. He felt that Kreacher's reactions just now were just teasing him. There were no orphans or orphanages here at all.

However, what happened in the next second refuted Andrew's current thoughts, of course, only half of it.

"Get out of here! You little mice!" The man named Kreacher Pearson shouted loudly towards the building, and soon he heard the sound of running footsteps coming from the building.

Children ran out of the orphanage one after another, but the number was very small, definitely no more than twenty.

And most importantly, these children all have varying degrees of disabilities.

Some children are missing a leg, some are missing an arm, and some are blind in one eye. Among them, one child is the most serious. He even has no lower body and can only sit on the ground and crawl on his own hands. .

"Poor children..." Andrew muttered to himself.

Even though Andrew spoke very quietly, he was still heard by Kreacher standing next to him. Kreacher thought this was a good sign, so that he could squeeze a lot of money out of the rich man in front of him.

"How did these children become like this?" Suddenly! Andrew turned back to Kreacher and asked.

Hearing Andrew ask this, Kreacher subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, for no other reason than because he was the cause of these children's disabilities.

Because disabled children are more likely to steal than healthy children.

But soon, Kreacher realized that the rich man in front of him might have just asked casually, and all he had to do was fool him.

"Oh, my God! Mr. Andrew, you have to know that it is not peaceful now. The war has just ended. Most of these poor children are the victims of that war. There are also some children with congenital deformities, otherwise they would also I won’t be thrown away by my own parents.”

Kreacher's intention was obvious, that he wanted to blame the children's disabilities on the war. After all, the situation on the battlefield was changeable, and no one could accurately avoid the falling rubble every time when the artillery fire came down.

And in order to ensure the credibility of his words, Kreacher also attributed the disabilities of some children to congenital deformities. After all, it was impossible for every child to be affected by the war, and this was not a war zone.

"Are you sure?" Andrew asked Kreacher Pearson again.

Hearing Andrew ask this, Kreacher thought he was about to be fooled, so he immediately said, "Yes, these children were like this when they were sent here."

Kreacher "explained" this to Andrew, but he didn't know if it was because he felt guilty about lying. It was precisely because of this that he didn't see Andrew's increasingly gloomy expression.

"Is that so? I understand..." Andrew said in a hoarse voice while taking something out of his coat pocket.

Kreacher, who noticed Andrew's move, was very happy. He thought that he had successfully fooled this stupid and deceptive rich man, and he would soon get a large amount of money.

Kreacher was so immersed in the dream that he was about to make a fortune that he didn't notice that if Andrew had taken a check, would the check be too big? Is it too hard?

That's right, what Andrew wants to get is not a check at all, what he wants to get is the gun hidden in his pocket.

A specially made small pistol is very small and can only shoot one bullet, but it is enough to deal with scum like this, not to mention that Andrew doesn't intend to shoot his head with one shot.

Andrew was neither stupid nor blind. The man named Kreacher Pearson told himself that these children were affected by the war and became disabled now.

Hmph... If Andrew really believed it, he would think that all the knowledge he had been forced to learn in the ivory tower by the manor owner for more than ten years was a joke, and his brain was just a decoration.

Are you really good at making up stories? Did these children become disabled because they were affected by the war? Andrew is neither an optimist nor an idealist.

He clearly knew that the warring countries only cared about their own victory or defeat and interests, and did not care at all about the civilians affected by them. In other words, the most they can do is to give these children a simple bandage locally and then let them live on the streets. It is impossible to send them thousands of miles to a safe area away from the war.

And even if Andrew's thoughts were too evil, these countries did do this and sent the children to safe areas away from the war, so why not send them to orphanages established by the government, but to this kind of private, It couldn't even be called an orphanage.

Those countries will send war orphans to the country just to save their own face and prevent themselves from establishing a cold-blooded and ruthless image. So since it is such a superficial effort, they will definitely do enough.

In other words, no matter what the situation is, these children cannot be war orphans, and their disabilities cannot be caused by the war.

And, congenital malformation? Even more ridiculous.

Are the disabilities in these children congenital or acquired? Andrew is instantly recognisable.

Although he said this, Andrew felt that he was a little sorry for Ji Ke, but after all, there was a ready-made example in the manor. If Andrew couldn't tell the difference, he would really be a fool.

Therefore, to sum up, the deformities in these children are acquired.

So who would be so cruel as to forcefully turn some healthy children into disabled children? What good does this do to him?

In fact, when it comes to this, the answer is obvious, it was this man named Kreacher Pearson who did it. The reason was obvious. He had just stolen Andrew's wallet on the street. If Andrew hadn't noticed the man's malicious look in advance, his wallet might have been stolen by this man.

He does not hesitate to make some healthy children disabled just for his own benefit. Andrew swore that he would not let this man die easily.

Just when Andrew was about to take out his pistol, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the orphanage.

Andrew subconsciously let go of his hand and did not take out the gun from his arms, because he didn't know whether the person coming was good or bad. If he shot rashly, Andrew would not be able to explain it at that time. After all...he only had one shot. bullet.

Hearing a knock on the door, Kreacher Pearson went to open the door and found that the person who came was his old acquaintance Father Duke.

Seeing that the person coming was a priest, Andrew subconsciously felt that he had seen him somewhere.

Where is it?

Andrew pushed forward his memories. Soon, he remembered where he had seen this person. It was just a fleeting memory, but Andrew still managed to recall it. It was on the street, Kreacher... Pierson showed himself the priest in a photo of him and the orphans at his orphanage.

Thinking of this incident, Andrew quickly assigned the priest in front of him to the "will be dealt with" position.

Why is it going to be processed? Because Andrew was not sure whether the priest in front of him knew about the "good things" that Kreacher Pearson had done.

If he didn't know and was kept in the dark the whole time, then Andrew might let him go.

But if he knows the truth and is even helping others to do evil, then Andrew promises that he will never let him taste death easily.

However, Father Duke, who was completely unaware of the danger, was greeting Kreacher Pearson.

"Long time no see! Mr. Kreacher Pearson, how are these children doing lately?"

Andrew silently watched the priest greet Kreacher. He was always observing the priest's every move, fearing that he would miss any details and make a mistake in his judgment.

Andrew doesn't want to let a bad person go, and similarly, he doesn't want to accidentally hurt a good person.

"Then again, Mr. Pearson, what happened to the thing I proposed to you before?" Father Duke had no idea that the danger was coming, and instead began to discuss the deal they had discussed with Pearson.

"Of course it's no problem, respected Father Duke, I believe these children can get more systematic treatment there." Kreacher Pearson certainly knew what Father Duke was talking about, and he didn't care about those children. What he had experienced, on the contrary, he thought that those children had nothing to worry about eating and drinking there, and were very happy.

"Wait a minute! What treatment?!"

Father Duke looked at the source of the sound unkindly, because he discovered that it was not the voice of a child, but the voice of an adult male. It was precisely because of this that Father Duke felt that he had been saved face. Someone dared to Interrupting people in church.

It was a man wearing black hair and a black hat. He was leaning against the rotting wall of the orphanage. It was obvious that he had just listened clearly to the entire conversation between Kreacher Pearson and Father Duke.

Father Duke smiled contemptuously. He didn't care whether the man in front of him was a rich man? After all, the power of the church is much greater than that of the rich.

And look at this man's strange outfit. No part of his body is white, especially his strange wide hat.

In fact, Father Duke's complaint here is correct, because the hat Andrew is wearing is indeed very big. Let's put it this way, if you stand directly above Andrew's head and look down, you can only see Andrew's hat but not his person. .

It was precisely because of this exaggerated hat that could almost cover the entire face that blocked Andrew's face that Father Duke recognized him as a stupid but rich guy who was deceived by Pearson.

Father Duke didn't bother to argue with this kind of person, but Kreacher Pearson was different. It was rare to find a fat and oily sheep, so he didn't want to let him go easily.

"Oh, sir, it's just... because... you know, the children in the orphanage are more or less suffering from some mental illness, so the respected Father Duke talked to the staff in the White Sands Lunatic Asylum and wanted to Give these children some systematic treatment." Kreacher explained to Andrew, and then he continued to talk to Father Duke.

However, if one of the two of them glanced in Andrew's direction, they would find that they were already targeted prey.

Andrew quickly adjusted his facial expression, then silently walked to the door of the orphanage and closed the door.

"What are you doing?" Father Duke asked at this strange behavior.

"It's nothing. It's too cold. It would be better to close the door." Andrew lowered his head the whole time while speaking. His broad hat blocked the upper part of his face. Father Duke could only see Andrew's mouth that was still talking.

It was precisely because of this that he didn't see Andrew's red eyes, which were already like the eyes of a beast locking its prey in the dark.

The game has started.

(The game begins.)
