Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 336 Acquaintance

Valery still had that cold expression on her face. When she arrived at the door, she greeted Roger and

the others. Then she paid the money and said, “Install all these things in the house. Move all the

mattresses to the second floor. Install one of the air conditioners on the second floor, and the other on

the first floor.”

Valery commanded in an orderly manner.

Many neighbors looked over with envy and complicated emotions in their eyes, and some of them

looked unfriendly.

Someone shouted, “Roger, have you become rich?”

“Good for you, Roger. They bought you so many good things!”

Roger’s family entered the house. Roger took out a cigarette and lit it up, starting to smoke. His brows

furrowed.

A poor person should not have bought these things in this area. Firstly, he could not afford them.

Secondly, it would make him easily targeted. It was even possible that someone would take their

house away.

The neighbor’s words did not sound like congratulations to Roger, but more like ridicule and jealousy.

This made Roger a little worried.

At the same time, Roger simply calculated all the things that Valery had bought. They at least cost 20

to 30 thousand lucs. Where did Gerald and his men get so much money?

No matter what, Roger didn’t want to get involved with dangerous things.

Valery walked in and put some meat and vegetables they had bought on the table and said to Nikki,

“Nikki, here are some meat and vegetables. Please make some dishes with these. I need to supervise

them to install the air conditioners.”

Nikki was a simple and warm-hearted woman. She quickly said, “No problem. I didn’t expect you to buy

so many things.”

Valery smiled. She pointed at a man and said, “Install this air conditioner in that room.”

She pointed at Nikki and Roger’s bedroom.

Nikki and Roger were both stunned. Nikki quickly said, “No! Just install it on the second floor. We don’t

need this. We are used to it.”

Valery smiled and said, “Please accept it, Nikki.”

Roger frowned and asked, “Dr. Manning, Gerald only earned more than 4,000 lucs last night. Where

did you get so much money to buy so many things?”

Valery obviously knew why he would ask this. She whispered, “We brought in some jewelry from the

outside world and sold them today. You can rest assured. We are going to eat meat for every meal from

now on. Jenna is growing up. We should offer her a balanced diet.”

Hearing Valery’s words, Roger calmed down a little. But when he saw the appliances installed in their

room, he was still a little worried.

Gerald, on the other hand, was sitting at the side and watching happily. Occasionally, he also came to

help. Now that the bedding and mattress had been changed, he could sleep much more

comfortably at the very least.

Valery also felt a sense of accomplishment.

After a while, she asked Roger, “By the way, Roger, have you heard of Dark Reapers?”

Roger put off the cigarette in his hand and said, “Dark Reapers is actually the force that is in charge of

this area. They charge us protection fees. They are considered one of the largest forces in the Eastern

District. They are roughly three forces in this area.”

Hearing this, Claude asked softly, “Boss, Dark Reapers sounds quite familiar. Have we met them

before?”

Gerald scratched his head and said, “I don’t know. It has been five years. Who knows? Maybe they

are just some nobody.”

“Okay.” Claude nodded and did not take it to heart.

Roger did not think much of it when he heard what Valery said. He did not think that Gerald and his

men had the ability to go against Dark Reapers. Roger frowned and said, “By the way, tomorrow is the

day that Dark Reapers will come to collect protection fees. They usually come in the evening, 500 lucs

per person. You have six of you now, which means that you need to prepare 3,000 lucs.”

“Good,” Valery said, and then commanded them to start working again.

Gerald walked to Valery and asked, “Did you fight with someone?”

Valery nodded and said, “Some people of Dark Reapers tried to tease me, so I gave them special

treatment. Not fatal, by the way.”

Gerald trembled slightly. Valery could always find places on a body that wouldn’t cause pain and not be

fatal to stab. Gerald silently prayed for those people who provoked Valery and then sat back aside. He

did not take this matter to heart at all.

Before he regained his Vital Energy, he wanted to keep a low profile, but it did not mean that he would

be a coward. He had four people who could combat and handle most of the fight now. As long as those

real big shots in Sin City did not show up, there was nothing he should be afraid of.

Even if those big shots came out, Gerald had his own way to deal with them.

The air conditioners and the water heater were installed for more than an hour. When they were done,

it was almost one o’clock in the afternoon and lunch was ready.

Because Valery had bought a lot of meat and vegetables, they all had the best meal ever since they

came to this city.

Nikki was not an excellent cook. But they were all satisfied as long as they could fill their stomachs.

They wouldn’t mind the taste at all.

Jenna was very happy when she received the book that Valery had bought for her. She instantly sat

aside and started reading. Although she couldn’t understand what the book said, she was still

excited.

In the afternoon, Roger and Nikki went out to work.

In the evening, when Gerald and the other two went out to work, Valery suddenly stopped Gerald

and said, “If you don’t want to have a conflict with those who came to collect protection fees

tomorrow, you better earn more money tonight. I only have more than 100 lucs now.”

Gerald was helpless, but he had to nod.

Gerald planned to pay the so-called protection fee first and then let Theo find a way to get the

money back again.

At seven o’clock in the evening, they arrived at the entrance of the bar on time.

Cory was still at the entrance of the bar with bandages on his face. When Tom walked past him and

saw his appearance, he said, “I knew you would get this one day. You were beaten up, right?”

Cory sneered, “I was drunk last night and fell. None of your business.”

Tom was not angry. He patted Cory on the shoulder when he saw Gerald. Then he asked, “Here. come

the three newcomers! Do you want to work with me? I only want a 20 lucs commission, and

you can have all the tips you earn.”

Gerald was surprised. How would Tom be so friendly to them?

Cory sneered, “They are with me. Don’t you think about laying a finger on my business.”

Tom smiled and did not say anything else before he walked into the bar.

“Go and change your clothes. You guys are still responsible for the same area.” Cory looked at Gerald

with fear in his eyes.

Gerald also did not ask for another boss. As long as Cory was cooperative, they did not need to

replace him.

Moreover, they did not know much about Tom, but they clearly knew who Cory was now.

The three bypassed Cory to the dressing room. Most of the people also came to work early. There

were quite a lot of people in the dressing room. However, apart from the people who knew each other,

most of them remained silent and did not greet each other.

What was most lacking was the trust between people in this city.

After changing his clothes, Gerald quickly got to the area he was in charge of.

People slowly walked into the bar.

Suddenly, Gerald’s eyes lit up. He saw two beautiful women walking into the bar. The two of them.

looked around. When they saw Gerald, they fixed their eyes on him.

Then, they walked straight toward Gerald.
