Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

The little girl’s words stunned Valery!

Beside her, Gerald also frowned slightly.

On this island, studying was something only for people with real power. This little girl’s family was at the

very edge of the city. They were struggling to survive. What they were thinking about was how to

survive. Studying was way too extravagant for them.

The two girls, Valery and Kristen, felt lumps in their throats. Valery’s cold face revealed a warm smile.

She touched the little girl’s head and said, “Yes, there are schools in the outside world. Schools are full

of children of your age. They live peacefully and cannot fight…”

When the little girl heard this, her eyes almost shone.

“Really? Really?” The little girl was excited. She directly pulled a chair over and leaned on it as if she

had been very familiar with Valery. She said, “Miss, can you tell me more about the outside world?”

“Okay!” Valery nodded.

Gerald and the others listened aside and felt a little upset. He did not expect that in this modern society,

this island was still in such a situation.

Of course, the world was like this. Every place had its own rules of survival, including every city and

every country.

Gerald let out a breath, pulled a chair, and sat down. Currently, he had no time to think about these

things. He did not like this place very much. He wanted to recover his Vital Energy, find Jolie and

Jacob, and leave this place as soon as possible.

Of course, according to Red Rose, Franklin was hiding in Sin City. Gerald had to find him and kill him.

When all of this was over, Gerald would leave this place to find Perrin!

He felt that this process should not be long as long as he recovered.

The most important thing was that he would have to pass the tribulation two days later.

The news that Perrin had given him was that they would show up in Fantasy Hotel within three days.

They arrived two days earlier. These two days were enough for them to do a lot of things.

Just as they were talking, they heard arguments in low voices.

Gerald looked over and found that the voices came from the kitchen.

“Why did you take out this piece of meat and these eggs? Didn’t we keep them for our daughter’s

birthday?” This was the voice of the middle-aged man.

“Well, these people are newcomers. They have to slowly adapt to life here. You won’t let them live

here. They might need to struggle for food after they have this meal. Especially the two girls. I don’t

know what kind of encounters they will face. Just let them eat. I will think about other ways for our

daughter’s birthday.” The middle-aged woman’s voice also came out!

Gerald was touched!

In fact, now he really felt it. The middle-aged woman was indeed kind. It was rare that someone who

had lived in a place like Sin City for many years to still maintain this kindness.

The middle-aged man paused for a while before saying, “But… we have to pay the protection fee

recently. Otherwise, we might be chased away. At that time, we can only leave the city and live in the

nearby villages and towns…”

“It’s fine. Don’t worry. At worst, we don’t eat meat on our daughter’s birthday. We’ll save money for her

next birthday,” the middle-aged woman said with a smile.

The man saw that he couldn’t convince her. He walked out of the kitchen very gloomily. He glanced at

Gerald and the others unhappily, then walked to the door. He sat down and took out a fairly poor-quality

cigarette. He lit it up and puffed on it twice!

Theo frowned. He rummaged through his backpack and took out a carton of cigarettes.

Theo had experience in Sin City. He knew that the cigarettes here were not good. He was a smoker, so

he brought a lot of cigarettes.

After taking it out, he thought for a moment and put it back. Then he took out a pack of cigarettes from

his pocket and walked toward the door!

In Sin City, cigarettes from the outside world were quite expensive. If people found that he them a

carton of cigarettes, it might cause trouble for the family.

gave

This kind of thing that was very common in the outside world was likely to be huge trouble for ordinary

people in Sin City.

“Boss, they are not bad people. We should help them if we can,” Claude took off his backpack and

said.

Gerald nodded and said, “Well, let’s stay here. It happens to be the Eastern District. We can also

investigate.”

Valery and Kristen chatted with the little girl. The little girl had stars in her eyes and she was extremely

excited.

After thinking for a while, Kristen took out a piece of chocolate from her bag and gave it to the little girl.

It seemed to be the first time the little girl had eaten some chocolate. She licked it lightly and was so

excited that she jumped up. She didn’t want to finish it too fast, so she carefully put it away and then

ran excitedly to the kitchen!

For the first time, Gerald saw a trace of mist in Valery’s eyes. Then, she stood up and looked at Gerald.

She said with certainty, “When I leave, I will take them with me!”

Gerald was speechless.

There were too many families like this in Sin City. They couldn’t save them all.

However, Gerald would not refuse Valery’s request. He nodded and said, “Okay!”

They sat down. The depression they felt after they came to Sin City was unbearable even for Claude

and those who had come here before.

Theo walked to the door and sat down with the middle-aged man. He handed him a cigarette. The

middle-aged man hesitated and took it.

About an hour later, Gerald and the others were called over for lunch. On the table, there were three

dishes. The first one was potatoes. The second one was meat mixed with some vegetables. The third

one was a pot of boiled vegetables. On a small plate aside, there was some chili for them to eat with

the boiled vegetables.

“Hope you like it. We are the poorest people in Sin City. We did our best to prepare this,” said the

middle-aged woman.

“I’m sure I’ll like it!” Valery quickly said.

They ate calmly. As they ate, the couple also told Gerald and the others about the rules of survival in

Sin City.

Gerald and the others also knew the names of the couple. The man was called Roger Aubin, his wife

was called Nikki Aubin, and the little girl was called Jenna Aubin.

After lunch, Kristen ran over to help clean up the dishes. At this time, Gerald let out a sigh and said,

“Mr. Aubin, I have a presumptuous request.”

“Huh?” Roger looked at him and had a bad feeling.

“We have just arrived in Sin City, and we don’t have anywhere to go. I want to stay here, and you rent

the second floor to us. Of course, we heard about the protection fee, and we will find a way to earn it

ourselves. You don’t have to worry about that. In addition, we will pay you some rent,” Gerald said.

Roger and Nikki were different. Nikki was kind to everyone and did not ask for anything in return.

Roger, on the other hand, had some characteristics of the people in Sin City. He did not want to find

trouble and only wanted to survive.

If they wanted to stay here, they had to give him some benefits. Otherwise, he would definitely not

agree.

Roger extinguished the cigarette in his hand when he heard Gerald’s words. Then he looked at Gerald

and said, “Actually, you can, but there are conditions. I’ll give you three days to find a job. If you can’t

find a job within three days, you have to leave. Newcomers are always easy to be targeted. If you live

in my house, we will have risks!”

“No problem!” Gerald said, “What do you think about the rent?”

Roger exhaled and gritted his teeth. “100 lucs!”

Luc was the currency of Sin City.

Gerald was stunned. 100 lucs!

In Sin City, it was a small amount. 100 lucs might not even be enough to buy a single piece of pork.

“Is… Is it too much?” Roger was a little flustered.

“No!” Gerald showed Roger a bright smile.
