Five days later, Dr. 3716-7-8 Silver City Time, 9:00 a.m. and 95 p.m. Satt Time.

“Thump thump thump …”

In a small hospital on the outskirts of Lucheng City, two men and women were walking in the narrow passageway of the ward area. The surroundings were completely silent, and the crisp sound of the heels could be heard from afar.

Through the faint light, one could see that the woman was dressed in a professional dress. Although she looked quite young, at least thirty or forty years old, she was well maintained. Her skin was smooth and moist. Apart from the crow’s tail patterns at the corners of her eyes, she could not tell her age at all.

The man was relatively young, in his early twenties. He had a well-proportioned figure and a cold expression. Although he wasn’t handsome, he had a special temperament. His gaze was calm and tranquil, emitting an intoxicating light. As he passed, the nurses all turned to look at him.

At this moment, the woman was walking ahead, seemingly leading the way for the latter.

“Your Excellency, this hospital is the property of our Belle Foundation. Although it is a bit small, its medical level is at the top of the world. Your friend will receive the best treatment here, so please rest assured.” Selma turned around and bowed slightly to Tie Zha, explaining.

“Thank you.” Tie Zha nodded and said.

Not long after, the two of them walked to one end of the passage, pushed open the door of a single ward, and walked in.

“Snort … Snort …”

The ward was suffused with a faint smell of disinfectant. A tall and fat man was lying on his back on a small hospital bed. His round stomach was covered with a thin sheet, and it was rising and falling with the snoring sound.

Looking at the fat man on the bed, Tie Zha did not make a sound, and Selma followed quietly.

Seemingly aware that someone was coming in, the fat man slowly opened his eyes. When he noticed that there were suddenly two more people in front of the bed, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over his body. With a trembling wit, he got up.

“Old … boss, you … why are you here?” When he saw the woman in front of him, he immediately cried out.

Selma did not answer. Instead, she turned her head and looked at the figure on the right.

“Tie … Brother Tie!” The moment he saw Tie Zha, Lard-bucket’s entire body trembled, so shocked that an apple could be stuffed into his mouth.

“I can’t tell. I dare to punch the black market now.” Tie Zha grinned and said.

“What are you doing?” After a moment of daze, Lard-bucket looked at Selma and then at Tie Zha, as if he didn’t know what to say.

“My lord, please talk to your friends first. I’ll get you some water.” Selma said tactfully, then bowed slightly and left. But as soon as she reached the door, a cry of alarm sounded from behind her.

“Big Boss, how … how can this work!” Lard-bucket shouted as he struggled to get out of bed, but Selma stopped him with a cold gaze.

Afterwards, he stared blankly at the door, waiting for the sound of high heels to gradually disappear into the passageway. He immediately revealed a cunning smile and gave Tie Zha a thumbs up, saying, “Brother Tie, you are truly a god! She is a genuine Saint-ranked expert! She is going to pour water for you!”

“Speak, what’s going on?” Tie Zha didn’t answer the question and said indifferently. He was worried that Lu Shanhai had been implicated by him, so that the company could not continue to operate. However, he was completely more worried. If You Ge really wanted to attack his friends, they would probably have already turned into ashes.

“You mean …” Lard-bucket hesitated.

“Didn’t you start a company?” Tie Zha reminded.

‘”Oh” Lard-bucket nodded and sighed. “A lot of people died in the mine accident and went bankrupt” Then, he told the story.

When he left the Thinker Stronghold, he made a lot of money under Tie Zha’s care. Due to the abundance of funds and the dangers of dismantling waste mines, he began to transform his business and contract mines for mining.

However, the good times weren’t long. In the second half of last year, there was an accident at the mine he contracted. A Great Abyss Devil suddenly barged into the mining area and grabbed people everywhere to eat. The miners hid in the depths of the cave to seek refuge. The Great Abyss Devil was unable to drill into the cave and could not eat anyone. In his anger, he spat out a mouthful of sulphur fire. As a result, he detonated the pile of spirit ores at the entrance of the cave, causing a large area of collapse. More than a hundred miners were buried alive.

Originally, Lard-bucket had bought insurance, but the people from the insurance company said that this was “force majeure”, a “natural disaster”, and they would not compensate for it at all. Lard-bucket had no power or influence, and his connections were not wide enough. The other party refused to buy it, so he had no choice but to sell his property and compensate for his pension. After all, these miners were all old neighbors of Tieshan Town. If someone died and still couldn’t afford to compensate for their pension, then there was really no way to explain.

However, after the sale of the property, there was still a gap of 1,200 gold coins. So he had people bring the money back and he stayed here to play black fists. He could earn ten gold coins in a single match. He thought about how long he could live and how many debts he would have to pay …

“Brother Tie, help!” After saying that, Lu Shanhai grabbed Tie Zha’s arm and shouted with a mucus and tears.

Tie Zha coldly snorted and shook off his hand. “Old Man Tie said that he was responsible for the trouble he caused.”

“Brother Tie, I was wrong, but do you know?” Lard-bucket helplessly said, “When our people from Tieshan Town are outside, they can only do the dirtiest and heaviest work and eat at the edge of the knife. I was thinking that mining is safer than demolishing the ore, so I contracted it …” As he said that, Lu Shanhai’s eyes turned red. “These dead people are all brothers who have played together since childhood. I really don’t want to!”

“Alright, stop talking.” Tie Zha frowned and said.

‘”Good, good, good, good …” Lard-bucket hurriedly nodded, but his heart was filled with joy. He knew that if Tie Zha cursed, it meant that he would help. If he didn’t say a word, there would definitely be no chance.

As he had expected, before he left, Tie Zha tossed him a gold card. He said that there were 5,000 gold coins in it. Apart from paying off the debts, the rest of the money allowed him to reorganize Barren Mountain Industries and report to Syris at Sand Wind Castle. Lard-bucket immediately smiled and said a lot of promises.

“By the way, Big Sister is also in Sand Wind Castle. You can handle it yourself.” After saying that, Tie Zha turned around and left, leaving behind Lard-bucket, who was dazed and covered in cold sweat. The reason why the latter had left Tieshan Town and lived in Sand Wind Castle was to avoid Lena.

The reason was very simple. As a teenager, Lard-bucket had taken Tie Zha to see a woman in the streets, and many years later, this incident had unfortunately reached Lena’s ears.

The lioness was instantly furious, and completely unreasonable, trying to vent her anger on him. If he hadn’t escaped overnight, he would have been torn to pieces. Actually, this matter was brought up by Tie Zha himself. He had only helped and led the way. He was innocent and helpless, but he had nowhere to redress his grievances. You know, that lioness would never make things difficult for her lover. She would only make things difficult for people outside Tie Zha …

Who’s Lena? Nobody knew better than the people of Iron Mountain Town.

Before she came, Tieshan Town had hundreds of underground forces, large and small, both foreign and local.

On the night of her arrival, more than half of the forces had received the news and left Tieshan Town early. After that, all the underground forces in Tieshan Town disappeared overnight, leaving behind only the Saber Fang Society and the Ghost Horn Society.

At that time, the garrison team would only ask one question: “Who is the eldest sister of Tieshan Town?”

Wrong answer, or late answer, or a little hesitation, kill!

That night, he had personally witnessed the scene of blood flowing into rivers and corpses piling up into mountains. Fortunately, he was only an errand boy, and he answered the questions quickly and accurately. His expression was also extremely devout, so he was lucky to survive. Afterwards, with Tie Zha’s care, he would naturally be fine. Furthermore, he would be able to live in the town until that happened …

He dared to guarantee that if he met Big Sister right now, she would pretend that nothing had happened in front of Tie Zha, but behind her back, she would definitely hurt the killer without hesitation. A person capable of hitting three Saint-ranked cultivators only needed one finger to kill him. When he thought of this, he felt that the road ahead was long, and he sighed endlessly. The past was unbearable …

A few days later, Lard-bucket recovered slightly and left the hospital. He withdrew more than a thousand gold coins from the bank, then boarded the air train and returned to Tieshan Town.

He had to hand over the pension to the miners’ families as soon as possible. Although each person only had more than a hundred gold coins, they could feed their children for at least ten years. Most of the residents of Tieshan Town were descendants of the northern descendants. They might be vulgar, backward, or even a bit barbaric, but they were very trustworthy. Even if they were scavengers on the streets or Flowing Warblers in the back alleys, once they made a promise, they would risk their lives to complete it.

Pension was an iron promise.

I give my life, you send the money home.

That’s why they can survive in the worst of conditions. After the final war, the word “Northern survivors” had completely disappeared. It only existed in the stories they told by word of mouth. The World Council gave them a new name-Northern Desolate Ground People, whether they accepted it or not.

Over the next hundred years, Tieshan Town’s food supply was gradually reduced to half. Hunger and cold forced them to kill each other like wild beasts, forgetting everything from the past. However, keeping his promise was like hiding the marrow fluid in his bones, unable to be erased.

It was raining heavily in the sky. Lard-bucket took the money and walked through the dirty and dilapidated alleys. He walked past shacks and wooden houses one after another and delivered the gold coins that were stained with blood and meat into the hands of their families.

“Sorry, I couldn’t protect them properly.” He handed a bag of gold coins to an old woman and bowed.

Behind the old woman were two children dressed in rags. Their eyes were wide open and they looked at him without saying a word.

He really couldn’t face that kind of gaze and silently turned around and left.

“When he left …”

“Are you brave?”

A few steps later, a trembling voice came from behind him.

“Brave and fearless.” Lard-bucket turned around and came to the old woman, speaking solemnly.

“Thank you.” The old woman bowed to him with her two children.
