The Arrogant Heroine Was Too Overbearing, So I Immediately Switched Sides to Become the Traitor-Chapter 44 - Red Hair Family
Danny quickly passed through the alley piled high with various debris, and filled with sewage and messy trash.
His ears were filled with sounds coming from the broken windows. Curses, quarrels, and occasional gunshots. Of course, besides that, there were also the sounds of televisions and harsh, noisy music, and the heavy panting of women and men.
The red-haired dwarf boy had long been accustomed to all this. He stuffed the great gold dragons from his palm into his pocket, clutching them tightly with his hand. Only feeling their presence could slightly calm Danny’s wildly beating heart.
Those two noble masters just let him go like that? They really gave him that much money? Huh???
Danny couldn’t believe it. Then he thought about whether he should go rob something else elsewhere. But, feeling the great gold dragons in his pocket. The red-haired dwarf youth decided to just go home. Since he had earned enough money for the day—even more—there was no need to continue working.
Work is for clocking out!!
He hurried his steps. Danny passed through the winding alleys, climbed over stacked wooden boxes and a rusty iron gate, arriving at the block belonging to his own gang. Finally, he arrived outside a car repair shop.
[Red Hair Family International Limited Group]
This sign stood in front of the auto repair shop, but it was indeed a very dilapidated auto repair shop, at least Danny thought so. Old factory buildings were surrounded by piles of tires and various second-hand cars. The ground was covered in black, dirty puddles. Many dwarf men and women with red hair, just like himself, were busy working inside and out.
“Danny, you’re back so early today?” A young dwarf greeted him.
“Taking a break today, what’s wrong?”
“Well, I advise you to take a walk outside. The Big Sis is furious upstairs.”
“Is that so? Which unlucky guy made Big Sis angry again? What am I afraid of? It has nothing to do with me!”
Danny said this, but instead ran excitedly into the factory building. Then, he heard screams coming from the depths of the second floor.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
The screams were extremely miserable and chilling, making Danny shiver.
In a partitioned room on the second floor of the factory building, Danny pushed the door open and saw the situation inside clearly. Under the dim yellow light bulb. A red-haired dwarf youth was half-kneeling on the ground. His hands were pinned to the table by other red-haired dwarves.
On the other side. A small—relatively petite even for a dwarf—red-haired loli was holding an iron hammer larger than her own head, suspended above the table, seemingly about to strike.
“Our Red Hair Family never sells pills. Who allowed you to sell this stuff?”
“Big Sis... Boss... I...”
“How many times have I told you? Call me President.”
With a “bang.” The iron hammer fell, breaking the other hand of the dwarf kneeling on the ground.
Danny instinctively closed his eyes. He knew this was Boss Lororiel punishing the unruly members of the family.
“Ahhhhhhh! But Boss, everyone in the Outer Street sells this stuff! If we don’t sell it, the guys in the neighborhood who need it will just buy it from other streets, and they’ll be charged more!!”
“So what?” The red-haired dwarf loli said righteously. “I said no selling, that means no selling. Don’t you understand?”
“...”
Danny quietly walked into the room and saw. Many colorful pills were scattered on the floor, blue, red, purple, like candy.
It was “Instant.” Danny recognized these painkillers; the professional name should be called A-something... Anyway, taking them would make people feel relaxed and numb to pain. They could also be wrapped in rolling paper and lit, smoked like cigarettes, which would produce a sweet scent.
Danny hadn’t taken them, but many people in the Outer Street used this stuff, so it was easy to know about it.
“Our Red Hair Family always repays debts, borrow three, return seven! You used your hands to earn dirty money, so I’ll cripple both your hands!!”
“Anyway, starting today, you are no longer our family. The family doesn’t need unruly members.” Lororiel put away the hammer and stood up from the low stool.
“Get lost, get lost to another block!”
“Boss...”
“How many times have I told you? Call me President!!!”
It was a direct kick. Lororiel’s short leg instantly sent the pleading dwarf boy flying.
“Throw him out!”
“Yes, Boss... President.”
The other red-haired dwarves, as if granted amnesty, immediately helped up the dwarf who had made a mistake and been kicked into the corner, then hurriedly ran out of the room.
Danny himself was also planning to slip away with the crowd.
As a result.
“Danny, why are you back so early today?”
“Uh... Boss Loro...”
“Hmm?” Lororiel looked coldly at her family’s younger brother, giving him a very dangerous look.
“I mean President, I got off work early today!”
“Got off work early?”
“Yes, just now I...” Not daring to hide anything, Danny told her about the strange encounter he had just experienced. At the same time, he also took out the ten great gold dragons from his pocket.
“???” As a result, Lororiel showed an even more perplexed look.
“You mean, you went zero-dollar shopping today, happened to be caught red-handed by the Urban District knights, but two kind masters living in the Castle District made them let you go, and even gave you ten thousand gold dragons, telling you to go home and sleep?”
“Yes.”
“Think again, does this story you made up sound reliable?”
“...”
Danny was speechless.
“Forget it, get lost and don’t bother me again.”
“Oh...”
Danny silently left the room and came outside the factory building. As a result, he was quickly called over by a family brother lying on a rotten sofa watching TV nearby.
“Hey, Danny, you’re back?!”
“What’s wrong?”
“I was a little worried about you.”
Why? Danny looked puzzled. Then, he saw the news currently being broadcast on the TV. The small supermarket surrounded by fully armed knights looked somewhat familiar. Wasn’t that one of the supermarkets he often went to for zero-dollar shopping?
In fact, it should have been his third stop today. He was planning to grab some new clothes from inside because the children’s clothes in this supermarket were quite good.
“You often go to this supermarket, right, Danny? Just now a lunatic opened fire inside and killed people. Seems like an old man from outside.”
“Holy crap, even several knights who rushed in died. Damn ruthless!”
Old man? At this moment, Danny happened to see the news reporter pointing the camera inside the supermarket. Among them, he could vaguely see corpses strewn everywhere inside, and a white-haired old man holding a rifle.
On his forehead, there seemed to be some pattern drawn with thick, fresh red blood. It looked like a character.
[One].
What character was this? Danny hadn’t gone to school and couldn’t recognize it.
But his family members were indeed right. Luckily, he had good luck today, ran into a kind noble master who gave him money, and came straight back after getting off work.
If he had continued with the zero-dollar shopping. He probably would have run into this lunatic too...
