But catching up with the Premier League and the United States in the future will definitely be a piece of cake.

But if he wades into this muddy water, then all of the above will be over.

And in return, what can Goro Takemura give him?

To put it bluntly, Takemura himself is a lost dog and has to rely on Hanako Arasaka to survive.

Besides drawing cakes, what else can he give?

He can't give anything.

Therefore, why would Su Xiao do something where the risks and rewards are completely inconsistent?

Even Oda, who was both a teacher and a friend of Takemura, refused to introduce Takemura to Hanako Arasaka...

What is the relationship between Su Xiao and Zhucun, and why would he take such a big risk to help Zhucun?

Seeing Goro Takemura opening his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, Su Xiao immediately raised a hand and interrupted before he spoke.

"Stop trying to persuade me. Nothing you say will change my mind. Instead, it will only make me feel sick."

"Also, since we are acquainted, let me give you a piece of advice:"

"Let me take a step back and say this, even if...even if I am willing to help you, even if you can board the roller coaster where Arasaka Hanako is, even if you see Hanako, so what?"

"You don't really think that Hanako Arasaka will listen to your one-sided words, do you?"

"On one side is her brother, and on the other side is the fugitive wanted by Arasaka. If it were you, what would you choose?"

"Don't try to go back to Arasaka again. Yorinobu hasn't sent anyone to hunt you down anymore. It doesn't mean that he has forgotten you. He just thinks that you are an insignificant pawn now and wants to spare your life."

"But if you still dangle in front of his eyes, he will crush you to death mercilessly like an ant."

Arasaka Yorinobu's goal is to create a world without Arasaka.

This is good and idealistic.

However, this does not mean that Yorinobu is a good person who will not kill people.

In other words, idealism and being a good person are actually not in conflict.

The world is not just black and white. Good people can also monopolize power, use underhanded tactics and vicious tactics.

In order to achieve their goals, idealists can do whatever it takes and kill people.

If a good person is restrained because of so-called moral restrictions, and a bad person takes advantage of the loophole, allowing the bad person to take control of the overall situation...

Then we generally don't call this person a "good person", but rather a "woman's kindness".

That’s why Siris said, “Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth, emotion does not establish affairs, and kindness does not serve as an official.”

Therefore, if Goro Takemura insisted on causing trouble at the Arakama Festival, Su Xiao was almost certain that Arasaka Yorinobu at that time would never let Goro Takemura go again.

Even if he chases him to the end of the world, he will definitely crush Goro Takemura to ashes.

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Goro Takemura's face suddenly turned as red as pig liver.

He subconsciously wanted to refute Lidya Su.

But he had to sadly admit that most of what Lidya Su said was right.

The only thing he didn't agree with was what Su Xiao said, "Arasaka Hanako didn't believe him," because this was Takemura's only motivation and hope to endure this kind of life.

But the other Takemuras agreed.

So in the end he couldn't say anything.

I can only leave in anger.

Since Lidya Su is not willing to help him, there is no need for him to stay here.

But before he could take a few steps, he heard Lidya Su calling him again.

"Wait a moment."

Takemura finally couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but said angrily.

"Susan, if you don't want to help me, forget it. Now you're calling me to stop, are you still going to humiliate me?"

Lidya Su spread her hands.

"I shame you for doing

What?I don't have that much free time. I stopped you to ask you, do you have a place to live now? "

Takemura answered quickly: "Yes."

Lidya Su glanced at him.

"Is it the kind of accommodation under the overpass?"

Zhucun didn't speak, but his face became a little colder, with a hint of impatience.

Su Xiao waved to him and pointed to the car he came from.

"Get in the car and I'll find you a place to stay."

Goro Takemura hesitated for a moment, but still got into the armored SUV with Su Xiao.

Watching Su Xiao skillfully drive the car out of the dock and into the tunnel.

The dim yellow light inside the tunnel, which had been in disrepair for a long time, was projected from overhead, reflecting Goro Takemura's puzzled face.

"Where are we going?"

Su Xiao said without looking back: "In the industrial area in the north of the city, there are cheap houses for rent there. I will rent one for you."

"But... I have no money."

It is said that a penny can defeat a heroic man, and this sentence is most suitable for Takemura.

He was unwilling to be like the street mercenaries whom he despised, working for a middleman who he also despised in order to get three melons and two dates, which also led to him having even less money to make money.

"I'll pay the rent, and I'll help you advance one year's rent."

The rent for a house in the industrial area in the north of the city is only [-] euros a month, twelve months a year, plus a three-month deposit, the total is only [-] euros.

This is less than the monthly rent of his apartment in the Valley area.

A mere [-] euros, this amount of money is just drizzle to him.

But for the now down-and-out Zhucun, this is a timely help.

Takemura Goro's expression became a little more relaxed and moved: "Thank you, Su-san."

Su Xiao did not say "you're welcome", but nodded slightly as a response.

Suddenly, he pulled over and stopped.

Before Zhucun, who was full of questions, could ask, Su Xiao got out of the car first.

"Wait for me in the car, I'll be right back."

Zhucun watched Lidya Su walk into a supermarket on the roadside.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao came out again, holding several plastic bags in each hand.

Zhucun hurriedly got out of the car and helped Lidya Su open the trunk.

Watching Lidya Su put large and small bags into the trunk.

"These things are..."

"Toothbrush, toothpaste, towels, bath towels, sheets and other daily necessities. Although you are poor now, you should still take care of yourself. As a man, you should be kind to yourself."

These little things are not worth much at all.But the effect of buying people's hearts is more effective than giving money of the same value.

Chapter 266 I have no dreams, but I can protect other people’s dreams (3K)

"It's here, it's here."

Su Xiao parked the car in front of a row of two-story houses.

This is the industrial area in the north of the city and close to the Kabuki District in the south. It is relatively less desolate than the north.

But the rows of low, faded buildings still have deep traces left by time. The life and prosperity of the past have disappeared without a trace in this dilapidated city.

It is in sharp contrast to the feasting and entertainment of the adjacent Little Chinatown and Kabuki District.

However, although it is now in great decline, there is at least one benefit.

Those guys in suits would not come to a place like this in person to look for traces of Takemura.

At least Takemura had one less thing to worry about.

Su Xiao and Zhucun got out of the car, took out the things they bought in the supermarket from the trunk, and searched for them one by one.

The two of them didn't spend too much time to find the apartment that Su Xiao rented for Zhucun on "Simple Real Estate".

After the identity information was confirmed, the automatic door slid open and retracted into the wall.

For a house in the city that only costs [-] euros to rent, you can imagine how dirty and messy the environment inside is.

Just taking a quick glance, all I saw was the floor covered with thick dust, the walls covered with dirt, the faded and worn furniture, and the garbage thrown casually on the ground.

Many of them stink and attract flies.

So the two of them had to do some simple cleaning before checking in.

The dirt on the walls can be cleaned tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but the garbage on the floor needs to be dealt with first.

Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to sleep at night.

It took a lot of effort, but at least the floor was cleaned.

Goro Takemura said with embarrassment and guilt.

"Sorry, Su Sang, I have to trouble you again."

"It's not too troublesome anyway, it's okay, but you can handle the rest of the cleaning work yourself."

After saying goodbye to Zhucun, Su Xiao drove away in the armored SUV.

From the dilapidated industrial area in the northern part of the city, through the Kabuki District, to the Company Square, it feels like you are in a different city.

In fact, it was not that Su Xiao was reluctant to give up money and rent a better apartment to Zhucun.

But doing so is his purpose.
