George was right. Leo looked at him coldly, but he felt like a gentleman. Lin Quan sat cross-legged at the door of the manor's kitchen, gnawing an apple in his hand.

What he originally thought was that if he came to Badiman and was chosen to go away, as long as it wasn't something unethical, he would be able to do no matter how hard or tiring he was, and he would find an opportunity to contact the people of the alliance in the future and find a way to escape.

Although the most he does now is some chores of cleaning and washing every day, but he is far away from the first main city, and in the seventh city without the interstellar network, he has not thought of a way to contact the outside world for a while.

Maybe Leo has the right to use the interstellar network, after all, he is the lord of the city.But it is also very difficult to get it without being discovered. Last time when he went to Leo's room to clean, he deliberately observed and found nothing that could communicate with the interstellar network.

In principle, the interstellar network should be universal for the entire interstellar, but the population base in the alliance is many times larger than that of the star bandits, and the mainstream thoughts on the Internet are all in the hands of the alliance.

In order to unify the thinking, the interstellar network is completely banned in the territory of the star thief. As far as Lin Quan knows, only the first main city has a few access points to the interstellar network.

Although there must be intelligence personnel from the Alliance in Badiman Planet, firstly, he couldn't find anyone, and secondly, even if he was lucky enough to meet him, he had no tokens in his hand, and he couldn't do anything except expose himself.

Now it seems that he can only rely on himself to find a way to return to the league. Lin Quan threw the clean apple core into the trash can with a clean parabola.

At this time, a pair of black riding boots appeared in the field of vision, which was Leo in casual knight clothes.

Unlike other city lords who like to wear gorgeous long clothes to show their luxury, Leo seems to prefer the convenient knight clothes. He didn't even look at Lin Quan, and went straight to the back kitchen and opened the freezer.

Lin Quan got up from the ground very consciously, and respectfully helped the city lord hold the freezer door, probably because he had been a cook before. Leo seemed to prefer to cook by himself rather than let George do it.

Thinking of the dark cooking that George is good at, Lin Quan's face was slightly distorted. With such a housekeeper, he would rather do it himself.

"Buzz..."

In the frying pan, the fried golden egg exudes a strong aroma. Lin Quan, who had just finished eating the apple, swallowed without a trace. He also didn't want to suffer from George's abuse every day.

Leo added bacon, corn kernels and white rice, and stir-fried a few times casually, and the simple fried rice with golden and plump grains came out of the oven.He turned off the fire, picked up the plate, sat down on the long dining table, and ate.Lin Quan picked up the rag and forced himself to wipe off the non-existing oil fume on the stove, so as not to pay attention to the delicious fried rice.

At night, Lin Quan, who had nothing to do, lay on the mattress, which was spread in the living room, and a gong was placed next to it.

This is one of his daily jobs, and George arranged for him to stay on the first floor as a security guard.The gong was specially found for him by George, who was considerate of his inability to speak, and Lin Quan could ring the gong to remind them if there was any unexpected situation.

After working during the day, George would chat with him one-sidedly.After a few days, Lin Quan had heard the heroic story of Leo becoming the lord of the city no less than ten times. To his surprise, the old woman who was rumored to be saved by Leo turned out to be George's wife.

"At that time we were all desperate," George shook his head. "Fortunately, my lord came to our rescue, otherwise she might have died that winter."

George's wife persisted for three years and finally passed away. In order to thank Leo for saving his life, George insisted on staying and became his housekeeper.

Compared with most of the city lords who are difficult to protect themselves and need countless escorts to accompany them, Leo has always been used to going alone. The previous deeds of challenging the previous city lord with bare hands also established him prestige, and made many who wanted to attack him. Think about it.

What's more, according to George, the governance of the Seventh City is getting better and better. The people who live here, regardless of gender, old or young, are full of affection for Leo. Everyone said that the Lord of the City should not be too good.

It's just that no matter how well the Seventh City develops, no matter how wise and powerful Leo is, it doesn't matter much to him.

Lin Quan stared at the darkness outside the window in ecstasy, the desolation on his face was reflected on the spotless glass that had been wiped.Without the help of external forces, if he wants to return to the alliance by himself, he can only smuggle back by black boat, and he needs a lot of money to smuggle him.

A lot of money, let alone money, he doesn't even have a steel coin.After all, as a slave, it is a great gift for the master to give him food, and there has never been such a thing as wages.

If he can't get money here, he will have to find a way by himself.

The manor was located in a quiet mountain forest, and the noisy lights in the distant city were reflected in his eyes. The colorful neon lights that stayed up all night showed the prosperity of the Seventh City.

Night is the prime time for all kinds of casinos, bars, nightclubs, and high-end clubs. The soul hidden during the day can be released at this time, especially in the Star Bandits where the tertiary industry is developed. , bloody violence is much more reliable than hot-blooded speeches here, and what is most directly reflected here is that every boxing fight is always full of popularity, and tickets are hard to find.

boxing ring?

There was a gleam of light in Lin Quan's eyes.

For several days after that, every time Lin Quan accompanied George to the mountain, Lin Quan would secretly observe the surrounding environment. In addition to the crowds of people in the western part of the city during the day, the streets in the eastern part of the city were empty everywhere, and people who liked midnight carnivals were still immersed in sleep .Lin Quan roughly figured out the location of several boxing rings through the messy traces left on the street and the closed shop doors.

So, on a dark and windy night, after George and Leo went to bed early, Lin Quan, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and left the manor quietly.

"Fist?"

At the gate of the bustling boxing ring, a tall, thin man with a cigarette in his mouth looked him up and down sideways.

"You should go outside, you are going to die if you come to us," the tall and thin man puffed out a puff of smoke.

Lin Quan avoided the smoke he exhaled without any trace, "I know the rules."

The one he was looking for was not a formal boxing ring, but an underground black boxing place.

The boxing ring in Star Thieves is actually not very formal, after all, it is illegal in the alliance.

On the bright side of the boxing ring, if you want to make money, people must be bound there. The basic necessities of life are under the control of the boxing ring. There are competition rules to ensure the safety of the contestants.

And underground black boxing, once on the field, life and death follow the sky, the biggest rule is that there are no rules.

In addition to the benefits of being able to come and go freely for underground black boxers, although the risk is the greatest, the money is also the fastest.

The tall and thin man spit on the ground, seeing his determination, rolled his eyes, thought of something, turned his back and let him in.

The boxing ring was not as dark and smoky as Lin Quan imagined, and the surrounding spotlights above his head illuminated the entire boxing ring.

Lin Quan was taken to a room, which should be the waiting room for boxers.The innermost part is completely transparent glass, and the fighting ring in the center of the boxing ring can be clearly seen. The other wall is covered with all kinds of boxing gloves and protective gear, covered with a thick layer of dust.

Noticing his gaze, the tall and thin man shrugged, "In principle, we don't use protective gear here, and it doesn't matter if you want to use it," he said mockingly.

"Are you going to play tonight?" Lin Quan asked.

"Of course, your first show will be in the second game." The tall and thin man patted him on the shoulder, "Don't let me down," his tone seemed to say don't lose too quickly.

Lin Quan looked at the boxing ring in the center without saying a word, and the tall and thin man was not annoyed, he closed the door and left.

At some point, a round table was set up at the entrance of the boxing ring, and most of the people in the ring gathered there.

A middle-aged man who looked a little fat was sitting on the table, burying his head in a large notebook on the table, writing quickly, and occasionally raised his head to make fun of the bettors.

This is the main source of interest in the boxing arena. By betting on the two boxers, the audience will bet on the side they think will win, and get bonuses according to different odds, because underground black boxing is more violent and bloody than conventional boxing, and the odds are large. The number of spectators for a game is overwhelming, and every day someone becomes rich or bankrupt because of it.

As the atmosphere at the scene became more and more heated, the bright lights gradually dimmed, and the explosive music could not cover up the enthusiastic shouts of the audience. The girl in sexy underwear stood on the stage, twisted her hips and swayed her hips, releasing her passion.

This kind of prelude lasted only a few short songs, and after the atmosphere of the audience was about to overturn the roof, the boxers from both sides of the first fight finally took the stage.

The two boxers were about the same size, with fleshy faces and burly bodies, with coiled muscles that seemed to tear through their shirts.

As the master of ceremonies announced the start of the match, the two fighters collided immediately. Without any fancy moves, both of them were desperately attacking each other's key parts such as the head, abdomen, and lower body.

There was a "bang bang" sound when the ungloved fist hit the flesh, and the audience off the court unconsciously yelled "hit", "hit", "kill him".

Not long after, one of the boxers couldn't hold on and fell down, panting heavily, as if the winner had already been decided.

Lin Quan narrowed his eyes, knowing it wasn't over yet.

Sure enough, the boxer who was still standing rushed up, pulled his fallen opponent by the hair and pulled him up again, then grabbed his head and slammed it hard on his knee. The referee who was like a display did not He made a stop, and his action immediately caused the scene to scream, and many people applauded loudly!

The loser who was completely grabbed had no power to fight back. Perhaps the nasal bone was smashed, and his face was covered with bright blood. Probably this kind of blood stimulated the boxer. After the opponent hit four or five times in a row, he let go of the boxer who had completely lost consciousness, raised his hands, and let out a howl like a trapped animal, announcing the end of the match.

At this time, the staff in the boxing ring finally started to move. Two people came up from the field and quickly carried the downed boxer onto the prepared stretcher and left the field in a hurry. Lin Quan's room door was also opened at the same time. tall and thin man.

"It's your turn, let's go!"

Lin Quan walked all the way to the arena in silence, the man thought he was frightened when he saw that he was silent, and sneered inwardly.

"The next one is our rookie, Hei Lu!" The emcee roared on the stage that had been scrubbed clean of blood, "He will face our mad bear!"

Lin Quan frowned slightly, the name "Black Heron" seemed to be randomly given to him by them.

"Mad Bear" is the boxer who won the previous duel, standing fiercely on the other side.Lin Quan put one hand on the fence and jumped up onto the stage. The moment he went up, the whole venue booed loudly.

"It seems that our black heron is very young," said the master of ceremonies.

Unlike the muscular bulges of boxers, Lin Quan, who was tall and smooth with tight muscles, was like a little chicken mixed in, which could be crushed with just a light grip.

Kuang Xiong raised his middle finger at him contemptuously, and then pointed his middle finger at the backstage of the master of ceremonies, which meant that he looked down on them for sending such a weak opponent up, and all the audience in the audience also let out a huge sigh following his movements , and then shouted his name frantically.

"Mad bear! Mad bear! Mad bear!"

Kuang Xiong raised his hands up and then slowly lowered them down. The shouts of the audience gradually receded. He squinted his eyes to enjoy this worship, and hooked Lin Quan contemptuously.

Lin Quan sneered coldly, disdained to talk to him, and rolled up his cuffs unhurriedly.

It seemed to be irritated by his arrogant attitude, after the master of ceremonies gave an order, the mad bear roared and charged straight at him!

Just when everyone thought that this overbearing black heron was about to be smashed into a meatloaf, Lin Quan turned his body slightly and dropped his hands lightly. The huge mad bear seemed to be crushed by a mountain The same crashed to the ground.

The entire venue was so quiet that a needle could be heard dropped, but this silence lasted only two seconds. When the referee found that Kuang Xiong lost consciousness and raised his hand to signal Lin Quan's victory, the entire boxing arena was surrounded by louder roars and louder noises than before. The cheers are overwhelming!

"Black heron! Black heron! Black heron!"

People were shouting his name like crazy, this seemingly lost bet with odds as high as [-] to [-] made the ring a lot of money, almost most people lost the bet, but this It does not hinder their high enthusiasm.

God!What did they find!A must-lose reversal!An easy win!That weak man actually defeated the crazy bear who had been trending recently in just one fight!The image of the thin man in their eyes instantly rose, and his cold expression was like a real ruthless killer!

"Excellent!"

After Lin Quan left the field, the tall, thin man who was still looking disdainful before entering the field walked towards him with joy, "It's amazing, your first show will definitely open up the market for you!"

"When is the next game?" Not as excited as he thought, Lin Quan was no different from before playing, even his clothes were not messed up.

"Tomorrow! You must come tomorrow!" The thin and tall man was very excited. Just because of today's upset victory, the boxing ring has almost earned the previous month's money. There will be more people looking forward to Heilu tomorrow. s arrival!

After getting the dividends for today's game, Lin Quan didn't say much, and left without hesitation.

He returned to the villa, and came in flexibly through the half-open window. The quilt at the door was still in the shape when he left. Lin Quan lay down again and closed his eyes.

Today's victory is not unexpected. He could see from the first match that the mad bear has no more skills other than brute force. The reason for his easy victory is entirely due to the contempt of the mad bear, which made him weak. The back of his neck was actively exposed in his field of vision, and Lin Quan only needed to grasp the timing and give a light elbow to knock him out easily.

He is not too excited, and there is still a long way to go from the funds he expected, and the opponents he will encounter will only become more and more difficult.

Sure enough, in the following week, although he won every game, he was more or less injured. He just wanted to get money, and he was not prepared to risk his life for money.

So, after a game was won, Lin Quan and Steven proposed to suspend the progress of the game.

Steven, the tall, thin man who brought Lin Quan in before, said regretfully, "Now is the time for you to become famous, and it would be a loss to stop."

Sitting in the waiting room, he could vaguely hear the audience in the boxing ring enthusiastically shouting Hei Lu's name. After a series of victories during this period, Hei Lu's name has become completely popular.

Seeing Lin Quan's resolute look, Steven had no choice but to give up persuading, "Then when are you going to come over?"

"Next week," Lin Quan said.

"Okay," Steven shrugged, "you must come, we want to start with big odds, and your opponent is Iron Legs." He knew that Lin Quan needed money urgently, so he arranged for him without hesitation. Big odds game.

Iron Leg was one of the popular boxers in the underground black boxing a few years ago. He retired for two or three years due to an injury in a single match. He is planning to come back this year. The opponent he arranges for the first match of his comeback is the most popular black heron at the moment. .

Lin Quan nodded, knowing it.

****

The night was as cool as water, and in the simple and spacious bedroom, the cold moonlight shone on the mask beside the bed, reflecting a cold and harsh light.

The man on the bed closed his eyes tightly, his supposedly handsome and perfect face was covered with shocking scars, he seemed to be in a nightmare, his brows were deeply furrowed, his cheeks were swollen due to exertion, and his painful expression made his facial features even more serious ferocious.

The scene in the dream was covered with a thick white mist as usual, only the voice was clear.

"elder brother……"

"The school is going to have a physical test again..."

The golden sunlight shone down, splitting the thick fog in front of him. A boy in a white school uniform was kneeling and sitting on the grass. Under the wide school uniform, his figure was thin. He was obviously a boy but had a slender waist.

Leo's eyes seemed to be locked, staring at the back of his neck, which was more beautiful than a swan's neck. Under the raven black hair, was a skin whiter than milk.

The world is stable and the years are quiet.

A tree is blooming one after another, and birds are whispering in the forest.

What the self said in the dream, the young man listened attentively, his earballs were pink and round, he shook his head slightly, and chuckled, "Brother is in the front, it's fine if I'm in the back."

The boy's voice was warm and clear, like the gurgling water of a mountain stream.

"Anyway, my brother said that he will protect me for the rest of his life..."

"My brother said that he would protect me for the rest of his life..."

The boy's voice suddenly became shrill, and the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere was like colorful soap bubbles under the sun, which burst with a poke.

"You said it! You will protect me!"

"Why... did you leave me..."

The young man covered his face, his voice was crying, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his frail appearance caused severe pain in Leo's chest.

No, no, didn't leave.

Leo frantically wanted to rush at him, but he couldn't reach him anyway. There seemed to be a long distance between him and the boy forever. No matter how hard he yelled, he couldn't say a word. He could only watch the boy curl up Into a group of sad tears.

The man on the bed opened his eyes abruptly, and sat up abruptly, panting violently like a drowning person climbing ashore. Leo put his hands on his forehead, and his temples were soaked with thin sweat.

There was pain and bewilderment in the sharp black eyes.

I dreamed about that man again.

Leo reached out and rubbed his sore forehead.

Since more than ten years ago, he has dreamed of him intermittently. At first he thought it was just an ordinary dream, but he didn't care about it. It's just that in recent years, the dreams have become more and more frequent.

Leo lifted the quilt, grabbed the pen and paper on the table, didn't even turn on the light, and in the cool moonlight outside the window, with a few strokes, he outlined the back of a man kneeling on the grass.

He put down the pen as if he was relieved, stared at it for a while, then opened the drawer and stuffed the drawing paper in.

There was still a thick stack of drawing papers lying in the drawer, which were all sketched out by his incomplete memory after waking up from the dream. In the hundreds of paintings, the man looked like a child, a teenager, and an adult. The only thing in common is that his face is absent in each painting.

Leo never once dreamed of his face, even if he was facing up to him, his face was covered with a thick white mist, making it hard to see clearly.

It wasn't like he didn't dream once. Leo took out a sketch that was pressed inside, and carefully unfolded the white paper. Only a pair of eyes were drawn on the huge paper.

Those were a pair of gentle eyes, even if his facial features were not fully painted, no one would doubt the smile in his eyes.

Leo didn't dream of anything that day, only these eyes. In the dream, he always seemed to be looking at Leo so tenderly, no matter where Leo went or what Leo was doing.

Leo sat there quietly, his slender fingers slid across the eyebrows and eyes on the drawing paper, the touch of his fingertips was real, as if he could touch him from a distance.

The man who called his brother should be his brother, Leo thought.

Thirty years ago, he woke up from outside the city covered in blood. His hands and face were severely bitten by wild animals. Fortunately, he was rescued by a passing couple.

The level of medical treatment in the city is not high, and the kind-hearted couple almost went bankrupt trying to save him, but they only saved him from the brink of death.

He lost all his memories, didn't know where he came from, what his name was, was penniless, and had serious mental deterioration, so he could only work part-time in a small restaurant in the city, earning a little money while recuperating from his injuries.

He just felt as if he had lost something important, and his heart was filled with despair, and he spent more than ten years in a daze like this.

Until that day, George found him in a panic and said that his wife was about to be driven out of the city. In order to save her, Leo challenged the city lord in full view.

He has always felt that his body is in good shape. After a few years of such a serious injury, he can heal slowly even without taking medicine. Great skill.

As the body's memory was gradually awakened, the chaotic brain seemed to be infused with a sliver of clarity. From then on, he would occasionally dream of that man.

It's my family, but I can't find him.

In the dream, I can only see him, and the surrounding environment is blurred.

Leo never doubted the reality of the dream.

After all, the pain in my heart is so real.
