Chapter 205: Living Openly and Fairly

In a secluded alley.

Sewage overflowed, garbage piled up, everywhere presented a dirty and chaotic appearance, making people feel irritable.

Very few people would come here, because the environment was obviously unsuitable for humans to stay, yet this was the dwelling place for some of the poor.

They were either disabled or suffering from diseases, able only to spend their days living in this place comparable to an underground ditch.

In their spare time, they would look up at the sky, silently counting their days of unknown quantity, with a future visible at a glance.

Today, however, a pair of upper-class individuals passed by, completely out of place with the surrounding things.

The man wore a high-end suit, a tie, and a pair of small round glasses, his figure tall and straight.

The woman wore an orange long dress, her long pink hair styled; this was something she had recently paid hundreds of thousands of Jenny for a famous hairdresser to do.

The two walked side by side, their faces showing disgust, very dissatisfied with these filthy things.

They should be stepping on noble red carpets, not this lowly place where mud water spread.

This would only lower their status.

The woman said dissatisfied: "It's all your fault!"

"Walking through such a filthy place, you got my expensive shoes dirty!"

The man's face twitched, and he said resentfully: "Aren't I the same?!"

"My leather shoes are covered in mud spots; staying here is truly disgusting."

While talking, the two increased their speed again, as if this place was filled with some terrifying poisonous fog, and staying even one second longer would be fatal.

The woman's branded wallet quietly fell to the ground, but it did not attract the couple's attention.

At this moment, a ragged boy with bean-shaped eyes passed by.

As an orphan with no money, he could only use a broken pair of scissors he found to cut his own ragged crew cut.

Glancing at the expensive wallet on the ground, Benoit was startled in his heart, quickly looking around, wanting to see where the owner was?

Discovering the couple not far away, Benoit suppressed the inferiority in his heart, picked up the wallet, and walked towards the two.

"My wallet is missing!"

"Really? Didn't you just have it in your hand?!"

The couple was very anxious, and the woman was constantly rummaging through her handbag.

Benoit held the wallet with both hands and said timidly:

"Um..."

"This fell on the ground..."

Before the words were finished, Benoit's face tightened, his pitch-black pupils filled with fear, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

The upper-class dressed couple now showed fierce eyes, those eyes full of hostility mixed with Benoit's disgust and disdain...

Their eyes were not looking at a person.

They were looking at garbage.

Burning with anger.

The man casually picked up the bottles and jars nearby and threw them at Benoit one after another.

Caught off guard, he was smashed until his head was broken and bleeding.

The two did not stop because of this; instead, they became demons, throwing all the bottles and jars around at Benoit.

After the clay jars shattered, sharp fragments left bloody marks all over his body.

His originally thin face, caused by malnutrition, was now smashed until it was swollen and bleeding without stopping.

After a long time.

Benoit, covered in blood, collapsed on the ground, motionless.

"It's all your fault! It's because you said this road is faster."

"You made my clothes dirty."

"Do you mean I am wrong?!"

Hearing the couple's argument in his ears, Benoit felt deep regret in his heart, then a burst of anger ignited from his heart.

He did not want anyone to repay him in any way.

Nor did he expect anyone to be grateful to him.

He only wanted to live openly and fairly.

In the next moment, the couple's argument suddenly disappeared.

Replacing it was the sound of two bodies hitting the wall in succession.

Before Benoit could come to his senses, he suddenly realized his injuries were healing rapidly, and waves of power surged from within his body.

He sat up from the ground.

Two different figures appeared in his eyes.

One was dressed in a sloppy manner, comparable to him, while the other was gentle and refined, with an extraordinary temperament.

A glow flowed from the latter's hand, falling onto him, making his injuries heal rapidly.

Looking again at the violent couple, they were already gone, perhaps kicked flying into some alley.

"If you can't survive, go to the Gulo Company."

"Say that Luo Ge arranged for you to come."

"At least, you can live openly and fairly."

Luo Ge said with deep meaning.

Turning around.

He left together with Jin Yi.

Leaving only a stunned Bi Nuote standing there.

After a long while, Bi Nuote suddenly kowtowed several times toward the direction Luo Ge had departed, tears bursting from his eyes, all his inner malice vanishing.

Only when he could no longer see the two figures did Bi Nuote slowly rise and leave.

He was going to that so-called "Glo Company".

To live openly and honestly!

"Tsk tsk, I wouldn't have expected it."

"You actually have quite the heroic bearing."

"Otherwise, what kind of person do you think I am in your eyes?"

"Besides, even if I hadn't stepped in, you probably wouldn't have just walked past as if you hadn't seen anything."

Luo Ge raised an eyebrow and fired back.

Jin said nothing, merely smiling.

Luo Ge withdrew his gaze, thinking of that wretched boy just now, and felt he looked somewhat familiar.

Had he seen him somewhere before?

Most likely not since arriving in this world; it felt more like he had seen him in the original work.

Since he had appeared in the original work, there was some fate involved, so he simply added a remark, telling that boy to go to Glo Company.

Perhaps he was a promising talent, only forgotten by him. "By the way, where exactly is that place you mentioned?"

"Soon. This counts as the suburbs; just on the other side of that hill nearby."

A few minutes later.

The lake water shimmered; clouds left white halos on the mirror-like surface, testifying to the lake's stillness.

This was deep within a forest; the lake lay beside a cliff, and the deeper part of the larger lake connected to a cave entrance.

There was lake water inside as well.

However, the cave entrance was quite deep; standing outside, one could not see what lay within, only knowing there was lake water inside.

Both were top-tier Nen users in the world; such things as "chasing a mountain until the horse dies" did not apply to them.

They arrived at their destination in just a few minutes.

At the shore.

Luo Ge pointed toward the deep cave entrance and said:

"It's in there?"

"It's in there."

"You mean we have to swim in? Then face hidden dangers underwater?"

Luo Ge was not afraid of fighting in the water.

With a Milotic capable of using Z-Moves present, fighting in the water was nothing.

Mainly, moving in the water was somewhat restricted, and it was easy to come into contact with certain undesirable things.

For instance, what if the lake water was poisonous?

Or if some poisonous creature hid in the lake water; although having an 【Antidote】 would prevent death, it would still be somewhat troublesome.

Otherwise, they could use 【Nen】 to walk on the water.

Jin shook his head.

"It's not that troublesome; no swimming is needed."

"From the outside, this cave looks narrow and consists entirely of water passages."

"But once inside, you'll find it wider, with shores on both sides where people can walk."

"However, once inside, you'll have to face that black gas. Do you plan to use 【Golden Spray】, or...?"

Bai Guang flashed past.
