Chapter 626 Picking Up Home

Turner was not familiar with Jack Phillips. In fact, during the days when he lived in Uncle Jack's house, he met Phillips only once in total.

It was a video communication between Uncle Jack and Aunt Ruth with Phillips once a month. Out of parents' habit of showing off their children, Uncle Jack took Turner, who had just entered their home, to the communication office.

Until now, Turner still remembers Uncle Jack’s expression when he introduced his son. It was an expression that Turner never saw again until he left Pato City—proud and relieved, as if all the wrinkles on that face were shallow. Even though she is old and her son has grown up, the maternal radiance on her face has not changed at all, just like when the child was just born.

It was only after the two spared no effort in their introduction that Turner remembered this young man. However, he was confident and full of vigor at that time, which was in stark contrast to the lifeless man lying on the ground now, reeking of alcohol. , if it weren't for his identical face to the video chat and the three zigzag moles on his distinctive neck, Turner would have thought these were just two different people with similar looks.

Looking at Phillips, who was lying on the ground, muttering less and less, but fell asleep because of the rising smell of alcohol, Turner shook his head and told him rationally that at this moment, one thing more is worse than one thing less. For safety reasons, he didn't even go to meet Fox, let alone pay attention to Phillips. In any case, Fox was at least a member of the Kona Federation and had cooperated with him, but Phillips was from the Argus Empire. He is a person who has only met Turner once. If this kid is taken care of, once something happens, it is likely to be a major event that endangers Turner's life.

However, thinking about how Uncle Jack and Aunt Ruth took him in when he was in Pato City and how they lived together afterwards...

Turner, who had already turned around and walked a few steps, finally turned back to Phillips, picked up the boy with one hand, and then raised his hand to hail a taxi, first threw Phillips into the back seat, and then sat in the front, the taxi drove quickly After leaving, the square in front of the airport quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened before.

With such a burden, Turner had no choice but to go to other places, so he simply took Phillips to the place where he agreed to take the boat. After waiting for more than 2 hours, a dim light suddenly appeared on the river in the night. Then, a speedboat quickly appeared in front of Turner.

The person who drove the boat was actually the same person who picked up Turner before. Seeing Turner walking with a person, the person's face darkened again, and he said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, you are going to go alone. He, why is there another one now? If I remember correctly, I told you before, don't break the agreement, otherwise we won't do your business. Do you think we can't survive without you as a customer? "

Turner carried Phillips into the boat, and then said: "You just told me to be punctual, and I'm not mistaken about it. I'm waiting here on time today. As for people, there are not many people now anyway." What's the difference between bringing more guests than one less? I still have the same old saying, since there are more people, I will give double the money. Of course, if you find it inconvenient, I will take him off the ship immediately That is, there is no benevolence and righteousness in buying and selling, so you don't have to say it so absolutely."

The sailor stared at Turner twice, finally shook his head, and said, "1 times the price, people who have not agreed to board the ship will have to pay 5 times the price, this is the rule."

"Deal." Turner finally nodded simply.

"Oh, you are really bold." The driver of the boat said as he steered the speedboat into the river, "Since you are also a regular customer, I would like to advise you that the principle of not revealing your wealth is applicable anywhere. Especially here in the pyramid slums, if you don't want to cause trouble because of money, even if you are really rich, don't show it, let alone be so bold, sometimes, iron roosters can live longer."

"Thank you for the reminder." Turner nodded with a smile, and the boat became quiet again, only the low sound of the boat motor and the sound of the river flowing on both sides could be heard...

After arriving at the other side, Turner paid the bill, picked up Phillips and left the bar. This kid was really drunk, and he was still like a dead pig until now. He didn't react at all when he was carried around like that by Turner.

Leaving the bar, Turner found some food nearby to fill his stomach. During this period, Phillips was naturally left aside. For this kid, Turner didn't even have the idea of ​​putting him on a chair. Thinking of Uncle Jack and Ruth Looking at the aunt's expectations for this son, and looking at his current appearance, Turner also has a feeling of hating iron but not steel.

Appearing with a person in his arms, throwing him on the ground to eat, picking up the person and continuing to walk after eating, this scene attracted the attention of people in the night market, but no one dared to say anything, just because of Turner's majestic physique and The look of carrying an adult in one hand without any effort made those people dare not talk nonsense.

Walking back along the road, just turning into the alley where the house is located, a figure approached from the opposite side. Turner hurriedly dodged to avoid the result of the two colliding with each other. It's his landlord - Xiao Qingyue.

This very mature beauty did not wear the cheongsam today, but put on a tight red leather jacket. Seeing her attire, Turner couldn't help but compare her with the eagle in his heart. In contrast, the almost identical tight-fitting leather garments produced completely different effects when worn on two women. The eagle had a wild and unruly beauty, but when worn on Xiao Qingyue, not only did it not affect the beauty of her body. The elimination of that lazy beauty gave her an inexplicable strange beauty, which made her even more attractive.

Xiao Qingyue took two steps back, and at this time she saw Turner clearly. She just glanced at Turner, and her eyes fell on Phillips who was in Turner's hand. She frowned slightly and opened her mouth. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. His eyes fell back on Turner's face again, he nodded slightly, and then walked out of the path with neat steps. The crisp sound of the heels of the leather boots falling on the ground gradually changed. Small, indicating that she has gone away quickly.

Turner also felt a little strange about the inexplicable reaction of this glamorous landlady. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason. He shrugged, ignored it, and continued walking towards the house with Phillips in his arms. .
