Female NovelKreene was a city that Olivia had heard a lot of rumors about.
She knew that this was Wayne's hometown from the information she read about him.novelbin
She only realized how segregated the city was when she saw it with her own eyes.
The city was very prosperous.
The roads led to all corners of the city, and the streets were busy.
But there was such a rundown area in this city.
It was like the difference between heaven and hell.
Olivia had been to many cities.
She had met many refugees as well.
It was her first time seeing such a place.
It looked so prosperous, especially the airport.
It was better than a lot of the cities in Arlandia.
The refugees from other places appeared because their entire city was destroyed.
Olivia was shocked that there was such a slum in such a nice city.
novelbin How poor were the people here? There were some people that lived under bridges in someother cities, but there were whole families living in graveyards in Kreene.
The children's faces were covered in dirt.
They gazed at strangers cautiously.
On a street not far away, there were some barefooted kids in rags.
They were carrying a sack of stuff that they had just stolen.
Some adults were chasing after them, yelling profanities.
Before Olivia could react, a boy ran into her.
The boy rubbed his hands together and apologized.
"I'm sorry, miss.
I didn't mean to run into you." Olivia grabbed his hand.
"Did you want to pick my pockets? Unfortunately, people rarely carry cash around these days.
I'll give you some advice." She pointed at Wayne and said, "He has more money.
Go steal from him." The boy looked toward Wayne's direction.
Wayne didn't say anything, but he had a scary expression on his face.
It was like he saw himself apologizing.
Wayne put his hand into his pocket.
The boy immediately got on his knees.
"I'm sorry.
I was wrong.
Please don't kill me!" In this part of town, human life was the cheapest thing there was.
Unexpectedly, Wayne pulled out a wad of cash.
"I'm in a good mood today.
This is for you." The boy stared at the money with a stunned expression.
He was still in a daze even after Wayne and Olivia left.
"Why did you give him the money?" Olivia looked at him from the side.
Wayne raised his head and wore a proud expression.
"Weren't you the one who asked me to do it?" Olivia had no idea why he was acting proud.
Olivia witnessed several robberies in less than ten minutes of arriving at the place.
"So, this is where you grew up in?" "Does it seem unbelievable to you?" "It is hard to believe.
So, I think you're actually quite incredible to have gotten to where you are today." Wayne was takenaback.
He didn't expect Olivia to say something like that.
"You..." "What?" Olivia smiled at Wayne, who was stuttering.
Olivia was rendered speechless.
"You must've sacrificed a lot to get to where you are today.
I'm impressed by your achievements.
"But I still think you're despicable for kidnapping me.
These two are separate things." "This is what I like about this straightforward personality of yours."Wayne grabbed her wrist.
Olivia frowned.
"Let me go." "A single woman like you would be targeted if you don't have a man with you in a placelike this." Ike, who was following behind them, grunted.
"How pitiful.
Smiling despite getting scolded."
