Chapter 630: Pick it up and go home
For Jack? Phillips, Turner was not familiar with, in fact, he had seen Phillips once in total during the time he lived at Uncle Jack's house.
It was Uncle Jack and Aunt Ruth's monthly video communication with Phillips, and out of the parents' habit of showing off their children, Uncle Jack took Turner, who had just entered their home, to the Communications Bureau.
To this day, Turner still remembers the expression on Uncle Jack's face when he introduced his son, an expression that Turner had not seen until he left Pato City—pride, relief, as if the wrinkles on that face were much lighter, and Aunt Ruth was the same, even though she was old, even though her son was an adult, but the maternal radiance on her face was the same as when the child was born.
It was also under the introduction of the two of them that Turner remembered this young man, but at that time, he was confident and full of vitality, in stark contrast to the drunken and lifeless man lying on the ground now, if it weren't for his face exactly the same as on the video communication and the three zigzag moles on his unique neck, Turner would think that these were just two different people who looked similar.
Looking at Phillips, who was lying on the ground, muttering quieter and quieter, but he fell asleep because of the rising smell of alcohol, Turner shook his head, and reasoned to him, at this time, more is better than less, for safety reasons, he didn't even go to meet the fox, let alone pay attention to Phillips, anyway, the fox was at least a member of the Kona Federation, and he had cooperated, but Phillips was a member of the Argus Empire, and he only had a relationship with Turner, if he took care of this kid, once something happened, it is likely to be a major event that endangers Turner's life.
However, I thought of the reception of Uncle Jack and Aunt Ruth when he was in Pato and the various ...... when they lived together afterwards
Turner, who had already turned and walked a few steps, finally turned back to Phillips, picked up the kid in one hand, and then raised his hand to hail a taxi, first threw Phillips into the back seat, then sat in the front, the taxi quickly left, and the square in front of the airport quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened before.
With such a burden, Turner had no way to go anywhere else, so he simply took Phillips directly to the agreed place to take the boat, and waited for more than 2 hours, a little dim light suddenly appeared on the river in the night, and then a speedboat quickly appeared in front of Turner.
The person who drove the boat was actually the same person who had taken over Turner before, and seeing Turner walking with a person, the man's face sank again, and he said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, you asked someone to cross the river, why is there another one now?" If I'm not mistaken, I told you before, don't break the agreement, otherwise we won't do your business, do you think we can't live without you as a customer? ”
Turner carried Phillips into the boat, and then said: "You just told Sù that I should be punctual, I am not mistaken, I am also waiting here on time today, as for the people, anyway, there are not many guests now, what is the difference between pulling one more and pulling one less?" I still have the same old saying, since there is one more person, then I will also give double portions of the money, of course, if you find it inconvenient, I will take him off the boat immediately, the transaction is not benevolent, you don't have to say so absolutely. ”
The sailor stared at Turner twice, then finally shook his head and said, "1. 5 times, and those who do not have an agreement will have to pay 1 when they get on board. 5 times the price, this rule. ”
"Deal." Turner nodded without dragging his head.
"Heh, you're so bold." The sailor steered the speedboat into the river and said: "For the sake of you as a regular customer, I advise you that the truth that wealth is not revealed is appropriate 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, the iron rooster can live longer." ”
"Thanks for the reminder." Turner smiled and nodded, and the boat was quiet again, except for the muffled sound of the boat's motor and the sound of the river flowing on either side......
Arriving on the other side, after Turner paid the bill, he picked up Phillips and left the bar, this kid was indeed very drunk, and until now he was still like a dead pig, being carried around by Turner like that without any reaction.
Leaving the bar, Turner found some food nearby to fill his stomach, during which Phillips was naturally thrown aside, for this kid, Turner didn't even have the idea of putting him on the chair, thinking of Uncle Jack and Aunt Ruth's expectations for this son, and then looking at his current appearance, Turner also had a feeling of hating iron and steel.
Carrying a person appeared, threw the person on the ground to eat, and after eating, picked up the person and continued to walk, this picture attracted the attention of the people in the night market, but no one dared to say anything, just Turner's majestic physique and the appearance of carrying an adult in one hand made those people dare not talk nonsense.
Walking back along the road, just turned into the path where the house was located, a figure on the opposite side walked towards him, Turner hurriedly dodged, which avoided the result of the two colliding together, and at the same time looked at it and found that that person was actually his landlord - Xiao Qingyue.
This big beauty with a very mature charm did not wear the cheongsam today, but put on a tight-fitting leather coat with the same bright red, seeing her dress, Turner couldn't help but compare her with the eagle in his heart, almost the same tight leather jacket, but it produced a completely different effect on the two women, the eagle is a wild and uninhibited beauty, and wearing it on Xiao Qingyue, not only did not eliminate the lazy beauty on her body, On the contrary, it gave her an indescribable peculiar beauty, but it made her more attractive.
Xiao Qingyue took two steps back, and at this time she also saw Turner on the other side, just glanced at Turner, her eyes had already fallen on Phillips who was in Turner's hand, her brows couldn't help frowning slightly, she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, her eyes fell back on Turner's face again, nodded slightly, and then walked out of the trail with neat steps, and the crisp sound of the heels of her leather boots falling on the ground gradually became smaller, indicating that she had quickly moved away.
Turner was also a little surprised by the inexplicable reaction of the glamorous landlady, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, shrugged his shoulders, simply ignored it, and continued to carry Phillips towards the house.

It's late, I'm sorry ~~~~~
