Chapter 285: Cat Getan Playing House (Part 2)

Soon, the circus performance began. The first few programs were animal training programs. Neither Bruce nor Selina had any interest in this kind of program. While the performance was on stage, the two chatted off stage.

"You said you were a vendor before, then why didn't you continue, but went to steal things?"

Selina rolled her eyes and said: "My young master, you shouldn't think that being a vendor is better than stealing things, right?"

Bruce turned to look at Selina. He originally wanted to say that at least being a vendor was not illegal, but after getting along with Selina for so long, he also knew that the life at the bottom of Cat Getan might not be what he thought.

After getting along with Selina for so long, he recognized a reality: in this dark city of Cat Getan, some people spent all their energy just to stay alive. At this time, talking to them about abiding by the law was no different from a joke.

loubiqu.

"Actually, those vendors, smoke children, and flower children are the most miserable." Selina sighed, her tone still carrying a bit of sympathy. She said: "When I told you about my experience before, you might think that Lucky Mama, who taught me stealing skills, was a bad person. She taught me skills, let me steal, and once beat me, but in fact, I don't hate her. I still call her now..."

Bruce showed an uncomprehending expression. He asked: "You still have contact with that thief leader?"

"We don't talk about business matters, just ask if her health is good, etc. It's just some polite words. Although she wanted to take the diamond necklace I stole before, which made me a bit angry, but later, after my anger subsided, I still called her..."

Seeing Bruce's somewhat shocked expression, Selina suddenly smiled. She said: "You are Young Master Wei En, everyone flatters you wherever you go. In order to get money from you, everyone can come to please you humbly. But I am different. The most praise I have received in my life was when I followed Lucky Mama to learn skills."

"She always said I was the child with the best talent she had ever seen, learning everything very quickly. You know, when she was young, she was a hostess in a bar in the East District. Her mouth could praise people to the sky. When she was in a good mood, she would even sing and let me wear the dress she wore when she was young to dance..."

Selina supported her knees with both hands, took a deep breath, and said: "I know you think I have no future, but she was really good to me."

"You might think that her finding all kinds of children to help her steal is heinous, but in fact, Lucky Mama was already good to these children."

"Her eyes are very vicious. The children she picked out all have talent and can earn a lot of money for her. Therefore, her hands are also looser, occasionally leaking two pocket money for us..."

"But the old villain next door is different. Under his hands are just some vendors and smoke children. All the income of these children every day must be handed over to him, and they are searched every day. It is absolutely not allowed to hide a cent. If they don't complete the goal he set, they will be beaten."

"He only gives those children leftovers to eat, and when he is in a bad mood, he makes them hungry. I once saw a child who wanted to run away, and his feet were cut off, and he bled to death."

Selina shrugged and said to Bruce: "Actually, I'm not hungry at all, and I don't really like eating pancakes with cheese. But when I encounter such vendors, as long as I have some money in my pocket, I will buy some things, which might let them eat a full meal tonight."

"Do you know?" Bruce looked into Selina's eyes and said: "Every time you tell me such stories, it makes my mood instantly heavy."

Selina showed a smile. She reached out and touched Bruce's cheek and said: "This is exactly the problem. This is a sad story for you, but for us, it is the most ordinary daily life."

Selina took another deep breath and said: "Actually, you also taught me many things, such as the context or something you talked about last time..."

"I recalled it. I seem to have heard Lucky Mama say that part of the money she earned also had to be handed over. The person she handed over to also had to hand over. Anyway, they just handed over layer by layer, and finally handed it to one person..."

Bruce narrowed his eyes and asked: "Who is that?"

Selina shook her head and said: "I don't even know Lucky Mama's boss, how would I know who the final person is?"

"There is a person controlling the children of Cat Getan, right?"

Selina nodded and said: "Actually, the children of Cat Getan are very easy to control. Most of these children are orphans. Either their parents are dead, or they were abandoned by their parents. As long as they are given a bite to eat, they can be driven at will."

"And..." Bruce continued: "Almost no one will make things difficult for this group of children. Even those high-end nightclubs will let those smoke children go in to sell cigarettes..."

Clearly, he recalled those occasions he had entered. In the past, he didn't care because he was used to it. But now looking back, whether it was a ball, a dinner, or a banquet, there were some children waiting on the edge of the venue, waiting for some rich people to buy cigarettes from them.

"That's it. If these children mess up something, or make some mistakes, as long as they show a pitiful look and apologize, and beg for mercy a few times, people who care about face won't make things difficult for them."

Bruce didn't expect that chatting with Selina would give him an unexpected harvest. There had always been a person in Cat Getan who used a network layer by layer to control these ubiquitous children.

"And that's not all." Selina continued: "These children also form cliques among themselves. It was like that since my time, and the competition among peers is especially fierce."

"You also know that business is very good in some areas, while it is not in others. Everyone wants to grab the area with good business. Except for the adults above fighting for territory, the children below also follow to form cliques. We all call these gangs 'Youth Gangs'."

"Then what gang did you participate in at that time?"

Selina shook her head and said: "I don't participate in any gang. Those are things on the ground, and I am a flying thief."

"I don't need to occupy any territory to steal things, or rather, I don't need to say hello to them when I want to go to whose territory. Anyway, they can't catch me."

"Everyone in the East District has heard of my name, and it is still the same until now. They all know that when the black cat on the eaves appears, don't think about aiming with a gun, because you can't hit her at all, that's just wasting bullets."

"Among the four great flying thieves in the East District, only I have the ability to travel throughout Cat Getan, while the other few people don't even dare to enter the commercial street, because once caught by those big-shot gang leaders, they are finished. But I am not afraid, because I know they can't catch me."

Every time he heard Selina talk about her career, Bruce had a strange feeling. Selina could be said to be a typical example of becoming famous by strength. Still the same sentence, if her professional ability was a little worse, she couldn't have reached this step today.

This life experience of turning over and living a good life by her own efforts should have been very inspirational and made people feel honored, but unfortunately, her profession was a thief. The harder she worked, the more likely she was to be sentenced.

The two had been chatting about the children of Cat Getan. Selina's bottom-level intelligence and Bruce's top-level intelligence combined, and the two inferred together who the person controlling this network was.

During this period, Aisha's attention had been attracted by various performances on the stage, and she was rarely quiet.

Suddenly, the lights on the stage became brighter, and the host said in a high-pitched voice: "Ladies! Gentlemen! Next, we will present to you the most wonderful—flying trapeze performance!!!"

A man and a woman, two actors, boarded the stage. In the process of them climbing high along the ladder, the host was still introducing hard: "I think some people may have heard of the Grayson family, which was famous on the East Coast. They were once known as the greatest flying trapeze performance family in the United States..."

"Some people may have also heard that the previous generation of members of the Grayson family fell from a high altitude due to a mistake in the flying trapeze performance and fell to pieces..."

The host whistled and said: "But if you ask me, this is the exciting part of this performance. If there is no danger of falling, who would be willing to watch this stuff? Don't you think so?"

The host's few witty remarks were originally intended to stir up the atmosphere, but the tall man named Grayson who had just boarded the high platform clenched his fists.

Just when he was about to start the performance, he shouted to the audience: "Grayson is the greatest flying trapeze performance family, we..."

At this time, he saw the circus boss under the stage making a threatening gesture at him. He turned his head to look at his wife beside him and finally closed his mouth.

The circus boss cursed loudly below: "What is this idiot talking about?! Wei En is sitting below! I said he would ruin my good deed, this bitch-born!"

At this time, the Grayson couple had already started their performance. The so-called flying trapeze was actually holding a horizontal bar and swinging back and forth in the air, making various turning and rolling movements.

It had to be said that the Grayson couple was indeed very capable. The husband and wife cooperated tacitly, and both the same and symmetrical movements were pleasing to the eye, and there were cheers from the audience.

Aisha watched very happily. After all, even if Selina's skills were superb, the manor's conditions were limited, and Bruce wouldn't agree to Selina swinging back and forth in such a high place. But the current performance satisfied Aisha's hobby of liking to watch people move.

She let out a sharp scream and kept waving at the stage. Bruce held her, fearing that she would turn over to the front seat. Selina patted Bruce's arm and said: "Give her some water, I hear her throat is hoarse from shouting."

Bruce took out the water bottle and was about to give Aisha water. The movements of the two flying trapeze artists on the stage just reached the interval of the performance. The husband and wife landed on the high platform, and Mrs. Grayson just happened to see Aisha waving at her.

This lady looked a bit haggard, but she still returned a smile and specifically waved at Aisha's side. Clearly, this somewhat overly excited little audience was very liked by Mrs. Grayson.

Seeing that she was noticed, Aisha was even more excited. She rushed forward directly, wanting to rush out of Bruce's arms.

But at this time, Bruce was unscrewing the water bottle. Aisha's rushing movement just hit his arm, letting the water in the bottle spill all over him.

Bruce showed a helpless expression, handed Aisha to Selina, and said: "I'll go to the bathroom to deal with my clothes."

Just when Bruce left the seat and walked to the bathroom, all this was seen by the circus boss.

That Grayson first collided with him, even punched him, and then said some crazy words before the performance. That Grayson's wife also deliberately attracted the attention of the little princess of the Wei En family, causing Wei En to spill water on himself. If he was dissatisfied because of this, his sponsorship would be completely ruined...

The circus boss's face became increasingly gloomy. Clearly, his anger had reached the limit. The performance of the Grayson couple made him go crazy. ===== CHAPTER 286 =====
