Chapter 1534


    Matthew didn''t answer Rat''s pleas. Instead, he looked at Tiana with a faint smile. "Tiana, I''m going out


    with your brother to run some errands. How about you go into the house to rest?"


    Tiana nodded obediently in agreement. "Okay, Mr. Larson."


    With that, she ran into the house and went into her bedroom as told.


    Matthew nced at Rat, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Do you wish to save your


    sister? If so,e with me! "


    Rat immediately scrambled off the dirty ground and followed Matthew.


    Finally, Matthew turned toward Robin and suggested. "Mr. Lane, I guess Hairy will return to exact his

    revenge. Why don’t you take Tiana with you and find a hiding ce?"


    When Robin heard Matthew''s proposal, he sighed in resignation. "That''s fine with me too. I''ll close


    early today. Take care."


    Matthew nodded with a smile.


    Afterward, he left the clinic with Rat, and Robin immediately shut the door.


    Rat followed behind Matthew nervously as he didn''t know what Matthew was nning.


    They kept walking, and Matthew only halted in his tracks once they were out of the alley.


    As for Rat, he stood not far behind Matthew. He had his head lowered as he kept tugging at the corner


    of his clothes, looking like a child who had done something wrong and was caught red-handed.


    "I''m sorry, Mr. Larson. I shouldn''t have stolen your stuff. Don''t worry. I-I will pay you back the money as


    soon as possible..." Rat stammered pathetically while shifting about anxiously.


    Matthew merely smiled at Rat as he observed the apprehensive man. Then, he fished out a cigarette


    and handed it to Rat.


    He had never nned on causing trouble for Rat since the beginning.


    Actually, Matthew knew that Rat wasn''t an irredeemable person ever since Rat ced his wallet near


    the police booth.


    Later, after Matthew scrutinized how Rat was so worried about his sister and guessed why he had been


    leading a life of crime due to his care for his ill sister, he couldn''t help but think of his past self.


    At that time, I was also near desperation. Even so, I was still ready to risk everything and tried my best


    to keep Nat alive.Rat is exactly the same as I was back then''.So, I decided not only would I not punish


    him, but I would lend him a helping hand.Moreover, my trip to Cummeal this time is also a secret solo


    trip I make to investigate some matters by myself.Hence, I will eventually need a local to help me lead


    the way and help me investigate the matter that was going on here.And Rat, this local pickpocket, is


    the perfect guide!


    With that in mind, Matthew asked, "Do you want to earn some money?"


    Rat was stunned for a moment before he stared at Matthew in surprise. "W-What kind of money are we


    talking about?"


    Matthew didn''t give him the full details on what he needed Rat to do; instead, he was rather vague


    when he replied, "Help me get something done. Once you''vepleted the job sessfully, I will write


    off the money you stole from me. Not only that, I''ll give you another 300,000 and treat your sister for


    free. How about that?"


    Rat almost cried out in joy when he heard Matthew''s offer.


    Therefore, he stumbled when answering in his haste to agree, "Mr. Larson, y-you don''t need to give me


    money. As long as you can cure my sister''s illness, no matter the job, I will never back down despite


    how perilous it might be!"


    Matthew chuckled softly after hearing Rat''s deration. "It''s not extremely dangerous. What I want you


    to do is very simple. This is my first time in Cummeal. So, I need a guide who can help me lead the way


    and give me a detailed exnation of the local climate in Cummeal. So, would you like to be my


    guide?"


    Rat couldn''t help but be taken aback by the turn of events. He thought he would have to do something


    that might stain his conscience, so it never crossed his mind that the task Matthew would ask him to do


    was actually so simple.


    I just have to be a guide. Any local in Cummeal can do that.


    Matthew nced at Rat''s apprehensive expression and inquired, "What''s wrong? Do you not want to?”


    Matthew nodded in satisfaction. "Very well. Let''s go."


    Rat asked in confusion, "Where are we going?" Co?tent of Drаmа?ovels.cоm


    Matthew answered, "I''m hungry. Let''s find a ce to have some food first. Also—since I have just


    arrived here, I have to find a hotel to stay in."


    Realization hit Rat, and he immediately added, "Mr. Larson, I know a hotel with pretty cheap rates. I will


    take you there..."


    Rat nced at Matthew in shock as he didn''t expect that this non-local who came here by bus was


    actually a secret billionaire.
