Lake agreed immediately.
The same thing.
Respect is mutual. Lake felt Lister's deep respect for him, and it was mutual. Lake was also willing to extend the time limit for Hydra's order to within half a month.
That makes sense.
Leaving the Continental Hotel.
Lake had only one thought in his mind.
I have money now.
I can finally splurge a bit and have a chance to participate in the ten plus one lottery.
Lake couldn't wait.
He had a premonition.
This wave of ten consecutive draws will definitely produce a golden legend. He has this feeling, a very strong feeling, much stronger than the previous few draws.
This time... it shouldn't be an illusion.
Out of the alley.
Lake, who had returned to his glasses-wearing appearance, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the Star Building, which was only one block away.
The weather is very nice tonight.
Lake looked up at the stars and seemed to feel that the stars in the sky were blinking at him, as if saying, I'm rich, I'm rich.
Very magical.
Lake was in a very good mood, even his pace quickened. He was just waiting to get home, take a shower, and then happily pump ten times in a row.
godhead.
Divinity.
Kingdom of God.
I am coming.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!"
"…"
Lake came back to his senses, blinked, and looked at the girl who was sitting on the ground three steps away from him, covering her head.
What is this?
Scam?
Skye rubbed her head, tears on the verge of coming out.
It's a bad year.
This is especially true today.
Skye had just finished her part-time job and was about to go back to an abandoned hut she had found to sleep. Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, she discovered that the abandoned apartment had been inspected by the Child Welfare Agency and the police. Fearing that she would be discovered and taken back to the ugly rescue center, Skye quickly turned around and left.
result.
Skye felt like a big lump had grown on his head, and immediately looked up at Lake: "Pay me money."
"...What?"
Skye covered her head with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes: "Pay me money, or I'll call the police."
Lake gasped.
Good job.
It's really a scam.
MMP.
Just as he made a fortune, he encountered a scammer, and the scammer was a little girl who seemed to be of Asian descent.
From the Korean family?
It's an island country.
Lake thought so in his heart, and then asked curiously: "How much do you want to compensate?"
Skye rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, looked at Lake, and held up two fingers.
two thousand?
Good man, you are not here to scam me, you are here to blackmail me.
What does two thousand US dollars mean?
The last time George treated five people to a meal at that high-end restaurant, the total cost was eight hundred US dollars. Spending eight hundred US dollars on a meal was already a very luxurious thing.
Lake planned to call the police.
Skye looked at Lake's changing expression and said, "Why, you won't even pay the $200 medical bill? I'm going to the hospital, I want my injuries checked, and I'm going to sue you."
Lake came back to his senses: "Two hundred?"
Skye hummed angrily, "Should we settle it privately or call the police?"
Two hundred is fine.
Lake was about to take out his wallet to ward off disaster, but when he touched his pocket, he remembered that he had left his wallet at home.
Skye watched Lake's movements, then took a look at Lake's clothes, and said suspiciously: "You don't even have two hundred dollars."
Lake raised an eyebrow.
What does the distrust and suspicion in this statement mean?
I'm short of money?
I just made a million, I'm a millionaire.
Lake shrugged: "I left my wallet at home."
Skye said, "Where is your home?"
Lake looked at Skye and said, "What do you want to do, little girl?"
"I'll go back with you to get the money."
"…"
Good job.
This little girl probably has never experienced the beatings of the federal society. She went home with a stranger without even knowing him. Does she want to be destroyed?
Skye said, "Do you have your ID?"
"...what?"
"Show me, I'll call my friend. If I'm missing, the police will find you."
"...clever!"
"Thanks."
By the time Lake came to his senses, his ID was already in Skye's hands.
Then...
Lake blinked as he looked at the little Asian girl who seemed to be talking on the phone with her friend in the public telephone booth not far away. Because the Black King did not have a telephone, he always used a public phone to make calls. If Lake remembered correctly, that public phone broke down a few days ago and no one had come to repair it.
so...
Who is this little Asian girl talking to on the phone?
Air?
After a while.
Skye walked out of the public phone booth, handed Lake's ID back to him with great momentum, and said, "Let's go. My friend and I have already agreed that if I don't call her in an hour, she will call the police."
Lake opened his mouth.
Next second.
Lake chose to hide the secret of this public telephone booth.
He's not a bad guy anyway.
and.
In a boring life, a little surprise from time to time can embellish life.
Downstairs of Xingchen Building.
Skye opened his mouth wide and looked up at the Star Building that reached into the sky. The appearance alone was extremely luxurious. "You... live here?"
She couldn't believe it.
Skye also knew the uniqueness of the Star Building. After all, every month news about black people suing the building's owners appeared in major media newspapers.
Lake turned to look at the surprised Skye and said, "Do you dare to come in with me?"
Skye came back to his senses: "Dare, of course I dare not, I am here to get my compensation."
She was already thinking of backing out. After all, only a small group of wealthy people in New York could live in this apartment. The money that slipped through the fingers of such wealthy people was enough to make her disappear from the world.
but...
Skye thought about his performance after transferring to Lake and the two hundred dollars, and decided to take a risk.
Two hundred dollars may not be a big deal to others, but for Skye, who escaped from her foster home, it was her living expenses for two weeks, and she could even buy herself a new set of underwear at a thrift store.
Lake shrugged and walked into the building.
The hall manager greeted Lake after seeing him: "Mr. Edwin."
Lake nodded.
The administrator saw Skye coming in and prepared to stop her.
Lake said, "She came with me."
The administrator stopped immediately and nodded: "Understood."
Lake glanced at the expression on the administrator's face and was speechless, but he was too lazy to explain anything and went straight to the elevator.
Skye trotted in.
bite!
Open the door.
Skye was completely shocked when he saw the large living room after opening the door, and the small swimming pool on the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window opposite the living room.
Is this the life of the rich?
Lake turned to Skye and said, "Wait here, don't wander around, I'll go get my wallet."
We just hired a housekeeper to clean the house today, and Lake doesn't want the house to be dirty by some irrelevant people.
only...
When Lake got the wallet from the second floor and went downstairs, he was stunned to see Skye lying at the door.
Upgrade of the scam?
Wow wow wow!
Lake watched as the ambulance from New Amsterdam Hospital pulled Skye into the car, then turned around and prepared to go back.
This isn't a good night for a lottery.
It's so unlucky.
Lake was speechless.
"gentlemen."
"...What's wrong?"
"You have to go back with us."
Lake turned around and blinked at the EMT's words: "I don't know her."
The emergency doctor said, "Sir, she is a minor."
Lake: "…"
New Amsterdam Hospital.
Lake stood in the corridor speechless.
Jack's wife, Martha, came over after receiving the news: "Lake."
Lake looked at Martha and greeted her.
Martha smiled. "I told Dr. Duncan about this. He misunderstood."
Lake curled his lips.
nonsense.
He has always been interested in mature women. As for lolis, he just admires them and never has any other thoughts. As I said, mature women are innocent, but lolis can only be admired from afar and not desecrated.
He had tried it before, and the result was not good. As I said, Loli needs to be coaxed, and Lake likes others to coax him.
Besides.
Playing with loli on federal land is risking your life. Those BT rich people only dare to play quietly overseas.
Martha then asked curiously what was going on.
Lake sighed and told Martha what had happened. It was completely an unprovoked disaster for him.
Just then.
The door to the emergency room opened.
Lake and Martha walked over.
The doctor looked at Lake and said, "You are the patient's family member. The patient has acute appendicitis and needs surgery. Go and pay the fee."
Have surgery.
etc.
Lake said to the doctor: "I'm not..."
The doctor didn't wait for Lake to say anything, probably because he knew Martha and thought it was not a big deal, so he went back into the operating room.
WTF!
I just bumped into her, how come she got appendicitis for no reason?
Can.
Just think of it as a good deed.
Lake sighed and said to Martha, "I'll go pay the bill first."
Martha said, "That's fine. When the patient wakes up, notify her parents to come over. They should be able to return the money to you."
I doubt it.
Lake looked closely at Skye's shoes as she pushed him into the ambulance.
Doesn't fit.
Bigger.
As long as one has parents, no matter how poor the family is, at least one will have a pair of shoes that fit, so the little Asian girl in the story should be an orphan.
Moreover, the foster family must have treated her very badly.
Payment window.
Lake looked at the printed billing list and took a deep breath.
Five thousand dollars?
Are you kidding?
Black-hearted hospital, does an appendectomy cost three thousand US dollars? Even if it is three thousand, but the ambulance fee is two thousand, isn't it a bit too exaggerated?
Lake looked up at the cashier and asked, "Can I use my medical insurance card?"
Toll collector: "Are you a family member?"
Lake shook his head.
"That won't work."
"What about the accounting?"
"…"
Lake expressionlessly pulled out his Department of Homeland Security ID and badge and looked at the cashier: "Bill, Department of Homeland Security, Senior Federal Special Agent, Deputy Director of Operations, Lake Edwin."
Toll collector: "…"
Three pictures, ten thousand words. Now, please don't say that I am short and weak. I don't accept it. Give me votes, monthly votes, thank you, pats on the back!
