Have No Desire to Inherit the Family Business
Chapter 20
Edith took out a lighter from her pocket. When she jumped down, she had left her backpack on the airship and only took this one thing.
The paper wrapped around the painting was roughly torn off. She skillfully took the painting out of the frame. Edith pinched the corner of the painting paper and pressed the lighter with her other hand. A flame jumped out.
The flame climbed onto the painting paper and started to burn slowly from the bottom. The ashes fell on the soil near the stone slab, as if by doing so, she could convey her emotions to her old friend who would forever be in a deep sleep.
The expensive painting was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. At the same time, it was returned to its rightful owner.
Edith thought of a question that Herrault had once asked her. He had asked if she would still remember Herrault if he faded out of her sight in the future.
She had been annoyed by his pestering and had given him an answer like, "A rare fool like you is an unforgettable disaster in my life." But in return, he had given her an extremely stupid smile.
Herrault's love was too heavy.
He had stretched out his hands towards the unreachable sky, but he would never get the response he wanted.
What he thought was a one-sided sacrifice was a beautiful illusion that kept dragging him into the mud.
It was indeed a painting that this man with no artistic talent had taken a fancy to.
Love was like a swamp. How appropriate.
"Isn't it a pity?"
Chivalry watched the show from the side. It was said that this painting was even worth Edith's personal effort to snatch it.
He did not have any special feelings towards Herrault's death. When he received the news, he was only sad and shocked for a few seconds.
Death was a common occurrence in Meteor Street. He did not have much emotion to lament the death of his companions.
Just these few seconds of sadness were already considered luxurious treatment for a Chivalrous Knight.
"I won't feel sorry for something I'm not interested in, no matter how expensive it is."
Edith took out the Solo Slayer Bird's feather and repeated the same thing. "Moreover, it's just returning it to its rightful owner."
"What if it's something you're interested in?"
"This assumption is not valid. The thing I'm interested in is already in my hands. It won't belong to Herrault."
Now, even the Slayer Bird's feathers had been burnt.
"What if it's something that belongs to you?
Will you destroy it because of this? "
Edith shifted her gaze away from the stone slab and raised her head to meet Chivalry's green eyes. She gave a cruel answer without hesitation, "No."
She was a person who had very clear priorities. People she was not interested in could never be compared to things she was interested in.
One could say that she was cold-blooded and inhumane, or that her worldview was twisted, but she would always stop for "love".
Perhaps, the phrase 'love is like a swamp' could also be used on her.
…
Meteor Street was a small interlude, and Herrault's matter had come to an end. Edith once again returned to her normal daily life as a game streamer.
Their lives were almost the same as before. If there was any change, it would be that Chivalry had become more clingy.
It had to be said that under normal circumstances, Chivalry was a person who had both EQ and EQ.
He knew how to be just right. He would not send messages or call Edith every day. He would stop when she could accept it, and he would also let go appropriately so that he would not create trouble for her seamlessly connecting 24/7.
Although the word "trouble" might not exist in Edith's dictionary, things that could be solved with money and violence were not trouble at all.
Unknowingly, March had arrived, and the offline PUBG tournament in Moratti was just around the corner. Edith and Chivalry once again stepped onto the airship, but this time it was not Dolores's private airship.
"I'm only one step away from becoming rich!"
Edith held Chivalry's hand solemnly, as if she was entrusting the most difficult task in her life to him. "For the five million ring, you must win!
Even if it means giving the opponent laxatives or humanely destroying the opponent! "
Chivalry was too lazy to complain, so he perfunctorily replied, "Yes, yes, yes, we will definitely win the championship."
"Without this money, I'll have to sleep on the streets.
Oh, and I might be caught and brought home. "
Edith slumped in the seat of the airship, looking melancholy. "I used all my savings to configure a better computer."
It was the easiest time to spend impulsively at night.
Her memory was still stuck at the stage where she was hiding in her bed and shopping online. Who knew that when she woke up the next day, she would see countless "express delivery" notifications. She hurriedly checked the purchase records, and for her now, the astronomical expenses almost made her pass out on the spot.
Damn it, it was all her fault for letting her guard down. When people were in a daze, they would subconsciously do some habitual things, such as buying a bunch of things according to her previous expenses!
"It doesn't matter if you lose."
Chivalry comforted the poor rich girl. He suspected that she might be in debt. "When we go back, I'll send a gift of five million yuan to your live broadcast room."
Edith, who had never regarded money as money, actually felt a little warm in her heart at this moment for a mere five million yuan ring. She even looked at Chivalry a lot more pleasing to the eye.
Edith couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It turned out that being poor for a long time could really make one lose ambition.
"This doesn't seem to be counted as relying on the game to make a living … At that time, dad directly warned Yuloka not to allow him to take advantage of this loophole in this regard."
"Of course it's different."
"Euroka is your brother, and I'm just someone you got to know through the game." Vigilante A said with a straight face.
Edith rolled her eyes. "Don't give me that.
When did I get a boyfriend?
It's not even set in stone yet. Please be clear about the identity of your suitor. "
Even if she was a little interested in Chivalry, she still righteously labeled him as a "suitor."
Chivalry heard this and complained very aggrievedly. "But we've kissed."
"… If you mention this again, I'll tear you apart."
Edith flew into a rage out of humiliation. When she recalled how she had been taken advantage of by a swordsman who didn't play by the rules, her heart started to beat faster … Oh, no, it should be said that she was furious.
"By the way, I seem to have to show up in this game."
Edith suddenly remembered this matter. "Do you need to disguise yourself, Mr. Wanted?"
"You should disguise yourself, rich girl."
The chivalrous swordsman did not have the self-awareness of a wanted criminal. Instead, he began to analyze the situation for Edith. "When the time comes, they'll find out that the young lady of the Dolores Family not only showed up in the game, but they might even report her for hanging out with a wanted criminal like me."
Edith looked indifferent and said matter-of-factly, "Dad and Yuloka will help me take care of it." She looked at the scene in the sky through the airship's window. "You know Yuloka, right?"
"Hmm?
Yeah, we're quite familiar with each other. We met during the Hunter Examination. "
Chivalry followed Edith's gaze and looked out of the window. There were only large clouds and blue sky, presenting a dull scene. "He was the one who gave me the membership card.
Aiya, now that I mention him, I feel like he's already on the road with a knife, wanting to cut me into pieces. "
He wouldn't just cut you into pieces.
Just imagining Yuloka's expression when he found out about this, Edith couldn't help but feel sorry for Chivalry for a second.
However, even though she felt sorry for him, she still had to turn the tables on him.
"I was the one who gave him the membership card."
Initially, Edith wanted this matter to remain a mystery forever. However, when she thought about how she had suffered a loss at the hands of Vigilante A, she decided to reveal the truth to the world. "It's because I own that shop."
Chivalry's smile froze.
…
This time, Edith brought a lot of personal belongings with her. Other than a suitcase, she also brought along a computer.
Chivalry almost didn't have any luggage, so Edith asked Chivalry to be her luggage mover.
They went to the hotel to get two single rooms and simply packed their luggage. At this time, the sun was about to set.
Edith took out her laptop, skillfully plugged in her earphones and microphone, and opened the live broadcast room.
"It's time for the easter egg."
Within a few seconds, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had increased to an astonishing number. However, the number of viewers was not as high as the fixed daily broadcast time. Edith adjusted the position of the microphone and said, "I have arrived in Moratti."
[Hahahahaha, I set up a special notification and suddenly received a notification.]
[I was just about to turn off the computer and almost missed 100 million.]
[Good luck, Ica!]
[I'll go to the live broadcast tomorrow to cheer you on!]
[I envy those who can go to the live broadcast … I have to go to work tomorrow orz]
[Quietly, has the surfer prince charming arrived?]
"I have to go to the competition tomorrow, so tonight's live broadcast is canceled."
Edith didn't open the chicken dinner this time. Instead, she clicked on the gluttonous snake. "This time, the main thing is to chat a little, no chicken dinner.
Ah, Langlang is here. "
The earphones on her head were suddenly removed. Edith looked up at Chivalry speechlessly, indicating with her eyes that there was something wrong. She had already noticed that he had entered her room through the window as if nothing had happened.
"Hmm?"
Chivalry made a sound of confusion. He put one hand on the table, leaned over slightly, and held the headset with the other hand. "Why is it the gluttonous snake?"
Edith stared at Chivalry unhappily and stretched out her hands to Chivalry, waiting for him to return the headset to her. "Give it to me."
"No —" Taking advantage of his height, Chivalry raised the headset higher. His hand on the table gently pressed on Edith's head. Her soft light gray hair only reached his waist. "You're ignoring me with the headset on."
Because there was no time to turn off the microphone, this conversation was clearly heard by the audience in the live broadcast room.
While the two were fighting over the headset, the live broadcast room was already in an uproar.
[???
This is surfing, right?]
[Routine @ I Love Paperman Forever]
[F * ck …]
[Are they in the same room?!]
[The Lang Yi couple is real!
This world belongs to our Lang Yi gang, hahahaha]
[This coquettish tone is too cute. 1551]
I'll always support this couple!]
[Paperman, come out!!!]
Edith finally snatched the headset back. The gluttonous snake interface was already dead. Her face instantly darkened, and then she looked at the content of the live broadcast room. She suddenly covered her chest.
Oh no, this is the feeling of a heart attack.
"We came together. He's in the room next to mine."
Knowing that she could not explain it clearly, Edith waved at Chivalry weakly. "Go get a chair, let's play together."
"Okay." Chivalry was quite satisfied with the result. He smiled brightly. "What do you want to play?
Is it still the gluttonous snake? "
