Chapter 21 The Underworld's Revenge(1/2)

Levi temporarily accepted Seraphine and allowed her to follow him.

He planned to go to Piltover University with Seraphine to find his sister, and chat more on the way to get a closer understanding of the young lady's state of mind.

However, the two of them haven't started talking about anything yet, and they haven't gone very far.

As soon as Levi walked downstairs to the apartment ahead of others, before Seraphine could catch up a few steps later, he bumped into an acquaintance at the top of the stairs——

The fat landlord, Mr. Bill.

"Hey!" Mr. Bill dangled the keys in his trouser pocket and shouted when he saw Levi: "Stop! Where do you want to run?"

"One night has passed. Have you collected the few months of rent you owe me? I'm not kidding you... If you don't pay it today, just pack up and go back to Zaun! Alas!

, you Zuan guys..."

Levi suddenly stopped and looked up at the landlord.

Somehow, just one night later, Mr. Bill felt that this guy's aura was different.

When Li Wei glared at him like this, he was actually a little scared for no reason.

"You, what do you want to do..." Seeing Levi approaching slowly, Mr. Bill did not dare to continue scolding.

He instinctively took two steps back.

But Li Wei just handed him a money bag: "This is the rent I owe you, please accept it."

"This..." Mr. Bill said with surprise on his face.

He didn't seem to expect that Levi would be so cheerful this time.

"Wait..." Mr. Bill suddenly thought of something: "I met a young lady from a rich family earlier. She came to see you specially and asked me where you lived."

"I said...Levi, you can't be..."

"Are you dating a rich woman?"

"You're thinking too much." Levi rolled his eyes.

"Really?" Mr. Bill was quite skeptical: "Apart from that...how can you earn a few months' rent by working one night?"

Li Wei was speechless. But there was nothing he could do, he looked like he was capable of eating this bowl of rice.

"I didn't do anything. This is just my advance payment for next month's salary." Li Wei explained casually and solemnly handed the money bag to the landlord.

Mr. Bill angrily opened the bag and counted the money, but unexpectedly heard Levi say to him: "Thank you, Mr. Bill."

"Why?"

"It was you who helped us as brothers and sisters when they were in the most difficult time." Li Wei was really saying thank you, not being polite.

This is what he said on behalf of the original owner.

Although Mr. Bill's curses were unpleasant and his words were mean, the original owner actually didn't hate him at all.

Because a landlord who tolerates Zaun apprentices' rent arrears, and threatens to evict them after several months of arrears... Among the landlords in Piltover, he is already a good person who can't even find a lantern.

Already.

If Mr. Bill had been crueler, his sister might have died of illness on the street long ago.

The money you owe others must be repaid.

A word of thanks is also appropriate.

"Levi..." Mr. Bill's eyes were also complicated.

He silently accepted the rent and looked at Levi with emotion:

"Not even close."

"Why?"

"The money is still close, not enough."

"..." Levi didn't know enough either. One month's salary plus a few silver coins stolen from Aubrey were still a little short of that.

So he spread out his hands as usual: "That's all I have. I'll pay back the rest later."

"You bastard, you!" Mr. Bill's fat face sank, and he habitually wanted to curse. But this time, he didn't curse: "Forget it, I'll let you stay here for two more days..."

"Don't forget to pay back the remaining money!"

Mr. Bill made an angry face.

Then, the next second, he saw...

The beautiful lady who asked him for directions before came down the stairs out of breath.

"Mr. Levi, please walk slower..."

"I'm a little out of strength."

Seraphine was already delicate and frail, and she had run all the way here in excitement before, so she was indeed a little tired now.

She instinctively wanted to find a place to lean on.

But this shabby apartment building was broken everywhere. The walls and handrails were more and more dirty, which made Seraphine really unable to do anything.

So she subconsciously wanted to put her hand on Levi's shoulder.

But Levi pushed this noble lady out as if he was electrocuted:

"Let go! Didn't I tell you, don't touch me again if nothing happens!"

"Hug, I'm sorry..." Seraphine hurriedly took two steps back, very shy and well-behaved.

"Hiss..." The landlord was dumbfounded.

"Levi..." After Mr. Bill was shocked, he couldn't help but ask: "You are all so messed up, and you still can't pay me the rent... Isn't this a bit too much?"

"No, you misunderstood..." Li Wei's face darkened: "She is actually the daughter of my factory boss, and she came here to see me..."

"Boss's daughter?!" Mr. Bill's expression became even more exciting.

Then I don’t know what he was thinking: “Forget it...Li Wei, you are a promising person. I don’t want you to pay back that little money.”

As he spoke, the landlord patted him on the shoulder encouragingly:

"Young man, do a good job."

"When you get rich in the future, don't forget me."

Levi: "..."

............................

Soon after, a certain private clinic.

The boss of the Iron Fist Gang, Iron Fist Avery, was sitting in front of his brother Aubrey's hospital bed, quietly listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"Boss, we went to the kid's house to look for him immediately. But he slipped away very quickly and had already packed up his things and ran away."

"Where did he go?" Avery asked coldly.

Unlike his bloated brother Aubrey, Iron Fist Avery is tall and muscular, with over-developed muscles like tumors crowding every place on his body where muscles can grow, making him look like

It's as scary as a mutated meat mountain.

Just sitting there, his aura can overwhelm the younger brother and make him speechless:

"No, I don't know...I don't know where he went...but...that kid's sister is studying at Piltover University...he should go there...but you also know, boss.

...Piltover University...we wouldn't dare go there and cause trouble."

"Yeah." Avery nodded noncommittally.

The younger brother was not sure what he was thinking, so he had to continue reporting: "Boss, we have another discovery:"

"Although the boy ran away, we met his landlord. According to the landlord, that Levi seemed..."

"What seems to be wrong?"

"It seems that he is with a rich woman." The younger brother told this information that looked like a movie script: "The landlord said that Levi appeared with a pink-haired lady. The relationship between the two seems to be very close."

"Huh?" On the hospital bed, Aubrey, who had been tied into a rice dumpling with bandages, couldn't lie down.

He "kindly" wanted to introduce a rich woman to Li Wei, but Li Wei beat him up like this.

As a result, this kid fell in love with a rich woman? Damn it!

"Wait... is it true? Wasn't he so poor that he had no money just a few days ago? Why did he suddenly fall in love with a rich man?"

"It should be true...The landlord told it from beginning to end, it doesn't look like he was making it up."

"Then who did he hook up with?"

"Well, according to the landlord... the one Li Wei slept with was his boss's daughter."

"That's the Hex Audio Factory..." Boss Avery frowned slightly: "Mr. Erwin's daughter?"

"Yes." The younger brother nodded and asked, "Boss, what should we do next? Should we send all the brothers out and search the whole city for that brat?"

"Just do it!" Aubrey gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.
