She endured it all the way until she returned to the sanatorium, and then she couldn't wait to know the answer.
After knocking away Alicia's finger that was poking at his cheek and receiving a resentful look from her, Ming Yue finally responded to Aponya:
"You should know that money is not important to me."
"I can buy the entire Twilight Street anytime I want."
Putting his hands on the edge of the stone table, he continued:
"Aponya, what do you think—"
"If I can gain their support with such insignificant things, then is this deal still a loss?"
In an instant, Aponya suddenly realized the true purpose of the man in front of her.
From the other party's series of measures to stabilize people's hearts, she can be sure that Ming Yue is not shooting in the dark.
Based on his own experience as a dean, Aponya came to a very bold conclusion:
This charming man wanted to take control of Dusk Street completely, rather than simply being an underworld emperor as he had thought before.
Otherwise, who would waste time on things that don’t matter?
Take the Three Dragons Society as an example. Their leader would not be so generous in rewarding his subordinates.
After understanding Ming Yue's thoughts, Aponya clasped his hands together in front of his chest and made a prayer gesture:
"Mr. Mingyue, I really hope you can always stay the way you are now."
It seems like nothing was said, but it also seems like everything was said.
After listening to Aponya's prayer, before Mingyue responded, Alicia answered:
"Ah, it turns out all pretty girls think alike~"
"Dear Aponya, I also hope that Ayue will never change~?"
"I'll tell you in secret, Ayue... before..."
Seeing that his girlfriend was about to reveal her dark history, Ming Yue pulled Ailishiya into his arms and physically interrupted her with his lips.
After dismissing this guy's idea of doing something stupid, he smiled, not caring at all about Aponya's meaningful gaze:
“In this world, the only constant is change itself.”
“Instead of worrying about what the future will be like, it’s better to experience it with your own eyes.”
Holding Ailishia, Mingyue's words were meaningful:
"But I can assure you that controlling Dusk Street has never been my primary goal."
“It’s just a necessary process for me to achieve a certain small goal.”
"When the next morning comes, I will give this dilapidated and decaying little town a new lease of life."
"And the sanatorium is naturally included."
7. Pardo at Midnight
By late night, the carnival on Dusk Street finally came to an end.
Carrying a suitcase in her hand, the girl named Padufils was like a nimble gray cat, moving silently through the streets and alleys.
Passing through the previously bustling city, now under the bright moonlight, apart from the beer bottles and food scraps scattered all over the ground, she could also see many drunk people lying on the ground in all directions.
If this scene had happened in the past, Padu would have known without a second thought what would have been the fate of these people.
Having grown up on Huanghun Street, she knows the local security level very well.
Especially when this place came under the rule of the Three Dragons Society, it was like a riot of demons after dark. Not to mention children, even adult men did not dare to go out alone.
Shaking her head, Padu had no interest in paying attention to these careless strangers and began to think:
What kind of person is the source of this phenomenon and the man who is worshipped as a god by the local gang?
Having slept from noon to dusk, when Padu woke up, she was completely confused by the huge changes in Dusk Street.
From what other people said, she finally understood what she had missed during her sleep.
Therefore, with regret, Padu worked hard to become stronger——
While no one else was noticing, she stole a suitcase of gold bars from the secret base of the Three Dragons Society, pocketing these ownerless items to rob the rich and help the poor.
Anyway, the Three Dragons Society is gone, so Pado won't have any worries.
Her only thought now is to be a hard-working nature porter.
"So, that guy named Ming Yue is really terrifyingly strong."
"I heard from others that he almost destroyed the Three Dragons Society single-handedly."
"No wonder these gangs have all quieted down now."
After sighing a few times inwardly, Padu crouched down, almost blending into the shadows, and walked safely through another intersection.
Although the other party has indeed become a new legend on Twilight Street, she does not think that her life will be affected.
A small character like me probably doesn't even have the chance to meet this person, so how could I be targeted by him?
A few minutes later, just after climbing over the fence, Padu heard sobbing coming from the alley ahead:
"Hai Lan, today is your birthday, and I have good news to tell you—those villains are finally dead!"
"I know I'm useless and can only rely on others to help you get revenge. I'm totally unworthy of being your father..."
"I heard that person is going to change Dusk Street. I plan to try my luck tomorrow and see if I can repay this favor..."
After a brief pause and listening to the story, Padu suddenly realized that this was the owner of the grocery store at the end of the street.
She did not forget that she had been cheated out of a lot of money by the other party before.
Normally, this man is cunning and a complete profiteer, but I didn't expect that he would hide in the corner and secretly shed tears.
However, Pado had seen too many similar scenes tonight, so she didn't find it strange at the moment.
Everyone on Dusk Street has their own secrets, and she is not very interested in peeping into other people's past.
Without eavesdropping any further, she moved her well-proportioned legs under her black shorts and headed straight for the end of the street.
This day of every month is the day when Paddo donates supplies to the nursing home. This has almost become her fixed habit.
As for why she didn't go in the morning, the biggest reason was that Aponya's reputation was too terrifying.
Pardo doesn't want to become the new protagonist in the top ten horror stories of Twilight Street.
Of course, in addition to being somewhat afraid of Aponya, the dean who could make the gangs surrender, her sleepiness was also a reason.
After spending a long time with stray cats, Padu inevitably picked up their habits and became a completely nocturnal animal.
"Because the Three Dragons Society was destroyed, all the shops are closed today. Even if you have money, you can't buy anything."
"We're here so late, I wonder if we'll be mistaken for thieves."
Stopping at the back door of the sanatorium, Padu thought for a moment and felt that since she had come here, she couldn't return empty-handed.
After all, even if she was discovered, she could still explain.
Padu felt a sense of security as she touched the gold bars hidden in her coat pocket.
Of the dozens of gold bars rescued from the den, he only kept one for himself to sustain his life. Surely that wouldn't be too much, right?
She quickly climbed over the wall and sneaked towards the dormitory entrance.
Pado's thinking is clear:
As long as she put the suitcase in a conspicuous place like at the door, she could retreat smoothly.
In fact, everything was going well until she passed by a secluded corner of the dormitory.
Sticking to the wall, Padu's extraordinary hearing ability made her face flush red:
"Hehe, good Ayue, where did I go wrong~"
"You tell me~"
"Ah! Why are you......"
Hearing these gasps, Pado's whole body stiffened, and some indescribable images flashed through her mind subconsciously.
From the other party's unwilling sound of surrender instead of provocation, she could even conclude that an extremely fierce and long-lasting war was going on in the room.
This made Paddo, who had never been exposed to the adult world, feel excited about eavesdropping on others, and she was also extremely curious about the other person's identity.
She knew very well that the only staff member of the nursing home at the moment was Aponya, and the rest were all children.
Although that person's voice was also very special, it was obviously much more immature than Aponya's.
Almost instantly, Padu judged that—
The unknown person in the room was definitely not an employee of the nursing home.
Combined with the gossip she heard at dinner, she instantly came up with an answer with a very high accuracy rate:
"Is it that man and his girlfriend?!"
Stunned, Paddo never expected that the legendary figure who was previously unattainable in her mind would actually be such a bold character who would mess around with his girlfriend in a nursing home!
Having heard the rumors spread among the locals, she had thought that the other party was a muscular monster with an expression of invincibility written all over his face.
At this moment, Pado was extremely grateful that she and the other party were separated by a thick outer wall.
Otherwise, if her whereabouts were discovered, it would be considered a blessing if she died on the spot.
Given the personalities of those bigwigs on Dusk Street, if they were caught with dirty tricks by others, they would definitely torture the other party severely.
Just by imagining herself being locked in the basement, Pado blushed, and even her long legs, which had been exercised all year round, became a little weak.
She looked around carefully and after confirming that there was no one around, she moved along the wall at a snail's pace, like a thief.
A few minutes later, as the sounds of fierce fighting gradually faded away, Pado finally completed her life-and-death journey.
After putting the suitcase on the steps at the door, the relaxation brought by the completion of the task finally made her aware of the abnormality in her lower body.
With a blank expression on her face, Pado was so sad that she could not even cry after confessing the first time in her life like this.
For a moment, she made up her mind to bury this embarrassing thing deep in her heart forever.
After calming down, Paduo complained bitterly to Mingyue in her heart. Then, when she turned around, she found a pink-haired girl she had never seen before looking at her with interest.
This frightened her so much that she jumped back immediately and almost screamed.
But the feeling of hitting steel made Padu realize that something was wrong.
Subconsciously turning her head, she saw Ming Yue's strange smile:
"In the middle of the night, there are still wild cats visiting."
"Tell me, what should I do?"
8. Stray Cat Adoption Guide
"Name?"
"Padofilis."
"Profession?"
"Item space transfer engineer."
Inside the room, Ming Yue and the shivering girl in front of him sat across a wooden table.
After listening to the other party's answer, he tapped the table with his fingers:
"Where did you get your engineer's license?"
"You didn't just write it yourself, did you?"
Holding her knees with her hands, Paduo was filled with fear of Mingyue and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"Boss, you are so smart!"
"I'm the only one who can get this kind of certificate on Twilight Street."
Suddenly, Alicia, who was standing in the corner, couldn't help laughing.
