Chapter 4

Inside the apartment, Sister Morna stood in the kitchen, completely indifferent. My wheelchair silently glided into the kitchen.

"Your colleagues are outside, don't you want to go and see them?"

In the morning, I encountered Sister Morna's colleagues at the supermarket entrance. The leader, Cui Dong, had already visited Sister Morna's new house before nightfall. According to their conversation, this exquisite house belonged to the company and was supposed to be occupied by both Sister Morna and another female colleague. However, their boss had placed me here before her arrival.

"You go outside, dinner will be ready soon."

"Do you need any help?"

"It's fine."

"Then let me wash these ingredients for you."

My floating wheelchair can adjust to any height, so the height of the stove is not a problem.

As I quickly washed the vegetables in water, I secretly glanced at Sister Morna's face and noticed that she looked even more exhausted than in the morning. Her calm demeanor couldn't hide the melancholy in her eyes.

"With Sister Morna's current state, how can she greet the guests when she goes out? Honestly, I can tell that this Cui Dong has given you some painful memories. What exactly are those memories? I shouldn't ask, but I just want to know why you insist on remembering this person. Or why your heart insists on giving him a place?"

I turned my gaze to the crowd in the living room and had a feeling that this Cui Dong and the girl beside him were trying to show off, because I noticed that every time he appeared in front of Sister Morna, his hand would always be holding that girl's hand.

"Is he your first love?"

"Yes." Sister Morna's voice sounded tired.

"Do you like this kind of older man?"

This Dong guy looks much older than Sister Morna, and it feels strange that she would like someone like him. Could it be the saying that "people will always love a few scumbags"?

"He's only twenty-four."

Sister Morna's answer surprised me. This Dong guy is also a tragedy. Some people still look like teenagers even when they're a hundred years old, while he already looks like an old man at twenty.

"He needs plastic surgery."

"Heh." Sister Morna chuckled dryly.

"You're laughing? You look good when you smile. If you ever want to confide in someone, come to me. After all, you've taken care of me for many days, so I can be your sounding board as a way of repayment."

Sister Morna paused her work and glanced at how I was washing the vegetables.

"The way you talk sounds more and more mature. Maybe when you regain your memories, you'll find out that you're a thousand-year-old monster."

I wanted to say that the memories in my brain have turned me into a monster, but I didn't want to say it here.

A male colleague hurriedly entered the kitchen. "Morna, it's a message from the boss. She said the dress for the upcoming award ceremony has arrived downstairs, and she wants you to pick it up."

"Okay, I'll go now."

"Sister Morna, let me go instead. I want to end the gathering early, or it would be even more awkward."

After my floating wheelchair left the kitchen, the male colleague gave me a string of passwords. He said I needed these passwords to retrieve and open the box with the clothes. It's the first time I've heard of clothes being encrypted.

"Young man, let's go together. It seems that you're not very convenient, and I have more compassion for people with physical disabilities." Dong said as we stood in front of the elevator door. His words were about compassion, but the way he made me feel was like a normal person violating the dignity of a disabled person, even though my self-esteem is very strong.

"This elevator sounds a bit problematic." Dong heard the sound of the elevator behind the door, and the noise was quite loud.

"Are you suggesting we take the stairs, Dong? If you don't trust this elevator."

"The floor is so high... of course I'm not afraid of walking up the stairs, it's just... not a good idea with you."

I adjusted the buoyancy of the wheelchair, so our eyes were at the same level.

"For me, it's like descending directly to the ground from here, and it's effortless. Let's go."

Dongge cleared his throat a little unnaturally and said, "Let's just sit in this."

In the ladder, the atmosphere between the two of us was a bit tense, but men like to destroy the atmosphere.

"Our boss spent a lot of money on you as treatment for young people, and now it seems that not all of it was in vain. But maybe our boss will still count on us in the future." Dongge's gaze stayed on my wheelchair.

"Dongge, my name is Reisgolo."

"This name... sounds a bit complicated, is it a transliteration?"

"Probably, but speaking of which, our boss has been kind to me. I might need to do something to repay her."

For Li Yihe, she is a beautiful and dazzling actress, and it seems that she lacks nothing. With her century-long fame, the only thing I can do is "offer myself"? But this may not be realistic. With the size of this harem, it's not impossible, but at least the time should not be too short. We need to give everyone some buffer period.

At this time, Dongge tidied up the wrinkles on his clothes, and I felt a hint of a routine.

"How about joining our company to repay our boss? As a 'determined youth with disability', as long as we find a reason, we can let you debut. With my current ability and resources, you will be able to repay our boss's money in three years."

"Oh? Can I debut with my looks? Are you kidding?"

As an agent, making money from artists is Dongge's lifelong goal. In my understanding, newcomers should be the best money-making tool, because they make money quickly and they don't bargain. Of course, this is just my guess. I don't know the actual situation. But we've been in this elevator for so long, and this Cui Dong has been persuading me all the time.

"You have a good appearance, just a little touch up and some sympathy, and you can easily become popular."

"Dongge, it's good to be able to repay the money, but I'm not really interested. Do you have any other jobs, like being an assistant..."

"Hey, being an assistant won't even cover your own treatment costs, unless... you find a girl with very good family conditions, like Mona. But don't count on it, poor people will always be poor."

Dongge's words made me angry. He spoke without thinking, and he never considered how I would feel. Perhaps he thought I knew nothing and understood nothing.

"What's wrong with Mona? She has been taking care of me these past few days."

"Kid, don't you understand yet? You need to find someone who can repay the money, not a caregiver."

"Dongge, you seem to care a lot about our boss's money."

"Nonsense, when my girlfriend's family's money will eventually be mine." Dongge slipped up and revealed a little. I heard a little from Mona's colleagues that Dongge's girlfriend's family is a partner of the company.

Li Yihe's clothes were parked on the side of the road in a luxury car. It was the pinnacle of civilian cars, capable of resisting high-level magic.

Isn't it just to deliver a piece of clothing? Isn't this a bit too much?

"Sir, the password." The driver stood in front of the car door, gesturing for me to enter the password and open the door.

There was even a sealed magic inside the inner side of the rear car door. Could it be some kind of artifact-like holy clothing? But if it's just regular clothes inside, I can't describe this extravagant behavior.

"Young man, I suggest you open it and take a look," Dongge said after I received the clothes. "What if the goods are wrong?"

"No, the clothes have to be opened by their owner. I don't want to take the blame for any damage. The Magic array shows that it's important," I replied.

Cui Dong's mind was a bit slow to catch up. He asked, "The messy drawing inside the car is the Magic array?"

Cui Dong was not a full-time student at the Magic Academy and didn't know much about Magic arrays. However, he could use simple Magic spells at an intermediate level.

"In that case, let me take care of it. It's the company's property and I have the responsibility to protect it," Cui Dong snatched the box with the clothes from my hand. To him, it was a chance to show himself by securing something valuable. Mona said he was only twenty-four, just graduated from college, and his position as a manager was not yet stable.

I should have been angry that my things were snatched away, but my main concern was not the clothes. It was seeing the legendary star who had been famous for a hundred years and expressing my gratitude to her. After that, I had to find a way to leave and find a safe place to deal with the Dragon Tooth. The only person who could help me within the five kingdoms was Juguang, the puppet with half of my soul grafted onto him. I didn't know where he was, but I hoped he would be smart enough to find me on his own.

"Bang bang!" As I returned to Mona's house, I suddenly heard the sound of things breaking.
