Remnant Blood Player

Chapter 74: The beginning of a thief career

Tom seemed to hear something he couldn't believe, and asked in a daze: "Why are you helping us..."

   "I want to do something good." Li Nuo said blindly.

   Tom lowered his head, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said: "Do you take the money?"

   Li Nuo: "If you ask again, you will accept it."

   Tom turned his head and glanced at his house, with a look of helplessness, then turned around and said, "Sir, let's not talk about it here, let's change the place."

   is quite vigilant, fearing that his family will be worried when he hears the conversation, Li Nuo followed Tom with a cane and walked to a corner of the street where no one was everywhere.

   "My name is Tom Lane." Tom took off his patched hat. "What do you call the sir?"

   "Li Nuo." After introducing himself, Li Nuo moved a few fairly clean stones and built them up as a bench for the two.

After Tom sat down, he looked into Li Nuo’s eyes and sighed: "Mr. Li Nuo, first of all I must thank you for your rescue yesterday, and please forgive my rudeness. These are the etiquette my mother taught me to abide by, but I was too nervous yesterday and I forgot all about it."

   This kid really has an unusual family education, Li Nuo chuckled and shook his head: "It's okay, you can start talking about the topic."

   Tom began to explain his family history...

   Many years ago in Novigrad, there was a leather factory that almost monopolized the leather business in the city, whether it was production or export.

   This leather factory is called "Lane Leather Manufacturing", which is the predecessor of the Tom family.

   Tom’s father, a self-made man, has grown from an unfamiliar person to a well-known businessman in a few years and established his own business field.

   Tommy’s mother, although not a noble child, grew up in a wealthy family. She is knowledgeable and supportive of everything in this family.

  A capable husband, a good wife, two lovely children, and countless money. This should be the life model of two rich second generations.

   But three years ago, everything changed. Tom's father and all the members of the caravan were killed in the suburbs of the city. The bodies were torn and eaten, which was not done by humans.

   Within a few weeks after his father’s death, without Jasmine’s knowledge, the new merchant took over the leather factory.

   After changing the boss, the subordinates and managers who had a good relationship with his father suddenly changed their faces, cut off Jasmine's source of funds, and took away all his father's inheritance, including an important treasure handed down from the ancestors of the Ryan family.

   Jasmine, who was struggling to support, could not escape the ending of being driven away.

   From worry-free eating and clothing to penniless, after becoming a lower class, he could only move to the Nanjiexiang area and live like a mouse.

   A series of blows made Jasmine seriously ill and bedridden.

   It takes money to support the sickness of his younger sister and mother. You can earn a meager income as a child laborer in the South Street and Lane area, but it is not enough to support his family, so Tom embarked on the road of stealing.

  Looking at Tom's sad eyes, Li Nuo felt pity for this kid, "The whole family depends on you stealing things to support?"

Tom shook his head lightly: "In the beginning, my mother would go to the laundry factory to make odd jobs, but recently, when her health is getting worse, she can only help the old people in the street mend clothes to make money. As for Marfa... at this age here It is very dangerous for girls to go out alone..."

  The words have come to this. It's very easy to make this family live well, and you just have money.

   But the series of circumstances explained by Tom made Li Nuo aware of the business opportunities hidden under this branch.

   Thinking of this, Li Nuo hit Tom with a brain collapse. Under the boy's incomprehensible gaze, Li Nuo smiled and asked, "Who is behind the scenes who took over your business?"

   There are no large numbers of wild monsters in the suburbs of the city, which Li Nuo can know through previous inquiries and observations on the way.

  His father was attacked and killed by a monster in the suburbs. It was someone who killed someone behind him, and this person was probably the businessman who took over the leather factory.

   Tom frowned, his eyes stained with a little anger, and he said, "Philip...Philip Jones."

   It's this grandson again... Li Nuo glared at him, half-smiling, not knowing why there are such **** everywhere.

   "Mr. Li Nuo, what's the matter with you?" Tom looked at Li Nuo's tangled face and couldn't help but wonder.

   "It's nothing..." Li Nuo shook his head, and then said: "Also, don't care about my name as Mr., just call my name."

   It’s a bit unaccustomed to be visited by Mr. Ren, and I am not a successful person.

   Li Nuo continued: "Tom, I ask you, how can you make your family...regain happiness?"

Tom said without hesitation: "Money, we need money, and..." He clenched his fist when he said, and said angrily: "There is also the legacy left by my father, a book passed down from generation to generation, and The necklace my mother gave to her when she got engaged. I believe that after seeing these things, her mentality will definitely improve. This is very important to her heart disease!"

   "These are all in Philip now?"

   Tom said: "Not sure, but I've heard people mention that Philip likes to collect spoils and put them in the treasure room of the mansion."

   The spoils...It's really nasty, Li Nuo stood up with suppressed vomit mentality, dusted his butt, and asked with a smile: "Do you know where Philip's house is?"

   Tom nodded and said, "I know, can't you..."

   Li Nuo pulled Tom up and said, "Don't be idle, take me there."

  ……

   Philip's house is located on Caulis Avenue in Folia, which is a veritable street.

  The width of the road allows two carriages to drive side by side. There is a green belt in the middle of the road, and there are masonry pavements on both sides.

   There are no dirty water ditches and no beggars. The fresh air makes people want to take two more breaths. It is a heaven and **** separated from the Nanjiexiang District.

   After passing the disgusting eyes of passers-by, Li Nuo remembered that he hadn't taken a bath for many days, and he had a bad smell, so he bought a shirt in a clothing store, took a pair of trousers, and finally washed his head in the wishing pool.

   Philip's house is indeed much more stylish than ordinary civilian houses. Although there is no garden of its own, if this three-story bungalow is put in reality, you will not be embarrassed to stroll by the door if it is not tens of millions.

  For example, Li Nuo, who has been in the poor for a long time, is really embarrassed to stand in front of a house with walls and a small courtyard.

   "Li Nuo...I think it would be better for us to come at night?" Tom looked at the crowds coming and going, and it was a bit too much to step over the wall to enter the room during the day.

Li Nuo ignored him. Instead, he took Tom behind a tree. After handing Tom his stick, he walked to the iron gate alone and asked the guard at the door: "Excuse me, is Mr. Philip at home?" "

   You really asked! Don't you hide a little bit!

   Tom was shocked, hiding behind the tree and holding his hair worriedly, what kind of desperado is this!

   The door guard looked at Li Nuo, was taken aback, looked up and down and asked: "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

   "Mr. Philip went out to find me in the morning. I just wanted to ask if your master has done what he promised to help me." Li Nuo said.

   At this time, the guard put down some vigilance and said, "Excuse me sir, my master is meeting an important guest."

   Li Nuo shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Well, then I can only go home and wait..."

   After nodding slightly to the guard, Li Nuo returned to Tom. The kid was surprised with his mouth open.

   "Are you really going!" Tom worried.

   Li Nuo smiled and took his cane, anyway, Philip would only treat him as a debt collector, there was no exposure.

   "Tom, find a safe place to hide." Li Nuo said, taking off his windbreaker and putting it in his backpack, avoiding the sight of passers-by, and walking into the unmanned alley on the side of the wall.
