Aghasas, a city full of sin and blood.

It has thousands of years of history, full of sin and killing blood drenched, and every corner of the city is full of the taste of blood.

Of course, it also has the most beautiful place. That is, the city's downtown, which belongs to the rich district, is where the rich people live. Everything in the center of the city is full of luxury, and people here have status and wealth that is the envy of countless people.

To the rich, the poor are just like ants, which in their opinion, these poor people are not worth mentioning.

Just give them the leftover food from their pets, and it is enough to make them grateful.

Criminals are nothing but clowns, just making life a little more fun.

The rich enjoy it, but they are not satisfied at all.

The rich enjoy it, but at the same time, they cruelly take the poor's lives and trample on their dignity.

The poor are slaves of the rich, but they have no choice.

The rich are superior, while the poor are humble as dogs.

Such a law of survival is the rule set by the rich, and the poor can do nothing but follow it.

Today, a thin black criminal hides in a shady alley. A pair of cold eyes gazed ahead, his face could not be seen clearly. The only visible thing was the tear mole at the corner of his eye. And from the bodily form one could tell he was a boy.

A teenager, about ten years old, with a thin body, was almost ready to be blown over by the wind.

His clothes were tattered almost beyond recognition, his body was covered with various wounds, his nails were full of dirt and blood, his long black hair covered his forehead, and the whole person looked very confounded.

He grasped a piece of black iron,a rusty dagger, by his hands.

At this moment he was looking for prey in the streets where people were coming and going. The gold watch on the man's hand and the jewelry on the woman's body were his targets. But these targets may cause great damage to the boy's body. In despite of the risk of high returns, he will not be so irrational. He has to wait patiently for a "destined person".

At this time a silver-haired girl on the street opened her white shoulder bag, which contained several Bella's(Here Bella means money), a dark red necklace and two hair cards. These have been taken in by the boy, so he has locked the girl is his target. The other party was similar to his own age, and besides, she was still a soft girl, dressed in gorgeous clothes. Therefore she should be a lady of the house.

"Goo."

The boy's stomach was growling. Hunger did not make him lose his mind, he knew the opportunity had come. The boy followed slowly behind the silver-haired girl who apparently didn't know she was being hunted.

While the girl was arranging her clothes, the boy knew that the time had come. He took out the rusty dagger from his pocket and stabbed it towards the girl's back, pulling the purse off her shoulder with force.

"Guards! Guards! Mugged," shouted a portly woman. Then she ran away, afraid that the gangster would do too much to her. The boy grabbed the purse and pulled the dagger out, spurting the girl's blood onto the boy's face.

The guards on the street heard someone yelling and immediately began to apprehend the boy. With the advantage of the terrain, the boy quickly went around the alley and then hid in the stinking sewers.

"These rich man's dogs! Run so fast..." Cried the boy. The guards didn't catch the boy and they went back to check on the girl's injuries, only to see a puddle of blood on the ground and the girl was gone.

"Get out of here, She may just come home with a minor injury. Don't lose your job because of this. Even if she dies from blood loss, it has nothing to do with us." A dark-skinned guard said without conscience.

After several people left, the girl's wounds had long since fully recovered, and then the corners of the girl's light blue eyes gradually transformed into a bizarre scarlet color.

"Interesting! Interesting! Thousands of years, you are the first dare to stab me." The girl looked at the alley where the boy was fleeing from in the sky.

...

The boy followed the sewer all the way to the river and used the cold river water to clean the dagger and the blood on his face. The cold river water kept the boy from having the aftermath of the murder. Following the river all the way to the river, the boy returned home.

Although there were no daily necessities here, no pots and pans, a shelter from the wind and rain hut, the boy was already very content.

The boy lay down on a bed made of straw, and with an excited heart checked out his loot. In addition to the three items he had seen, there was a 500ml bag of blood inside the leather bag.

"No wonder a leather bag is so heavy! With a bag of blood stuffed inside, I thought it was all jewelry, I thought I could still have a rich life." The boy sighed.

The boy only hoped that the necklace could be exchanged for more money, depending on this necklace by living prosperous life. The girl was wearing gorgeous clothes, I should have known that even the clothes were also robbed, maybe it would be worth a few pieces of Bella.

The boy kicked the necklace in his pocket, with only 100 Bella, the rest were hidden in the straw. Soon the boy came to the store, the clerk looked at the dirty boy with contempt.

"There is food in the tub outside for poor people like you." The female shopkeeper said disdainfully.

At the same time the clerk's words drew laughter from the customers, and the boy ignored the clerk. Of course, he knew that she was scolding him, then the boy walked towards the shelf and took a piece of bread and handed the clerk 100 Bella.

"Change!" The boy showed his emotionless eyes.

The shopkeeper said in a bad mood while changing money, "I don't know which unlucky person you are stealing from."

The boy took the money and left. The world is so cold and indifferent, and you are also the people at the bottom. You just rely on the power to give you a job which anyone can do. That's all. There is no need to look down on others. To put it more clearly, the shopkeeper is more like a dog, living on the bones given to you by the power. And if you don't do as you're told, the power will be replaced by a more loyal dog.

Left the store, while nibbling bread Night White came to a pawn store. The pawn store boss is an old grandfather, so he should not be cheated. Even if cheated, he did not have any way. In short, it's nice to change some money.

"Boss,how much will this necklace cost?" The boy asked.

"Where did it come from? If it is stolen or robbed, the store will not accept anything." It was clear that the owner of the pawnshop did not want to get into trouble.

The boy said with a sad tone, "My mother gave it to me," the boy said in a sad voice. "My father ran away with someone else, so I used it to treat my mother."

The old man took it and looked at it carefully, then he handed a Blue Crystal Brother with its worth of 5,000 Bella to Night White. "Nice stuff! This is a blue crystal card with its worth of 5000 Bella, unbound identity, you can withdraw money from it as you wish."

Night White took the blue crystal card and left the pawn store, the old man looked at the boy's figure then laughed: "What a stupid guy, the value of this thing can't be measured by money. It is at least hundreds of thousands of years ago so I should treasure it. 5000 Bella will be considered as a cure for your mother, and it is also considered as a virtue for yourself."

Night White put the blue crystal card in his pocket and walked in the direction of home, the scent of barbecued meat filled the roadside, and Night White chose to ignore this. He had to control his desire, 5000 Bella at least able to let himself eat bread for a year so something like roast meat is really extravagant for him.

The boy arrived in the alley just in time to meet Gram and the two followers behind him.

"Give us the blue crystal card! We've seen all the things you've done in the pawnshop. This way you will be spared the pain and we won't have to waste our energy, it's better for you and me!" Gram was ready to make a play.

Gram was a full half head taller than the boy, and the two followers were instead about the same height as Night White. Night White was determined not to give the blue crystal card to Gram because the three guys had been bullying him a lot in the past.

The boy turned and ran into the alley in an attempt to get rid of the clingy guys. Everyone survived in this area and knew how to walk with their eyes closed. No matter how the boy ran, the three guys were always able to follow close behind. Soon the boy was surrounded by the three, and Gram looked like he was winning, "Hurry up and hand over the blue crystal card, or you'll live with disability for the rest of your life."

"Then you try." A cold smile appeared at the corner of the boy's mouth.

Gram was about to grab something when Night White shouted, "Someone's robbing."

The entrance to the alley coincided with the Patrol Division headquarters, from which many guards poured out and subdued the four men easily.

  The chief of patrol with a big belly, a very greasy look, the street lamp at the entrance of the alley shone on the head of the chief which almost blinded the crowds. "All dare to rob in front of the patrol division. All are taken away and locked up for a few years."

The boy knew that if he went to prison, he would be ruined. It was full of vicious thugs, even gay men, who would endure the torture of the strong men every night, and the food was even worse than pig food. "Plop", the boy knelt down to the chief, and his eyes can not help but wet up with tears, then he said: "My father died early, not long ago my mother fell ill. This blue card is my family heirloom for money, used to treat my mother. These guys saw me with the blue chip card and grabbed it and threatened to kill me if I didn't give it to them." "You are just like animals. This blue crystal card is people's life-saving money. Take it away!" Chief Division said with an expression of righteousness.

"No, Sir. The boy is making things up. He obviously took the necklace to the pawnshop.We just wanted to grab some money and we didn't say we wanted to kill him." Gram said in a panic.

"Sir, he told the truth, and he just wanted to rob me blue crystal card. Look, the blood on my body was what they did." The boy held a helpless look.

"How dare you steal and rob in front of my Inspection Division. How dare you. A few of you take these three men to work in the prison. I am just worried about the lack of performance."

"Yes, Sir." The guards took Gram and his two followers into the prison. "I'm innocent,Sir, I'm innocent!" The three men kept shouting.

"Thank you for your help,Sir. Please accept 3000 Bella as a token of respect." The boy said in a slinky voice.

"It's our duty to eliminate harm for the people, I'm going to interrogate the three robbers." After saying that, he took the boy's 3000 Bella into his pocket and walked towards the Inspection Division.

"Oh! It is the ultimate hypocrisy to take my money. I can't believe you eliminate the harm for the public." The boy's face changed in a twinkling. It was obvious that he was acting.

A fall into the pit and a gain in his wisdom, he took a long detour to the pawnshop so as not to be followed. He lost 3000 Bella with sad emotion. Back home the boy took a look at the 500 milliliters of blood and thought to himself, "Does that terrible hospital take blood bags?"

The blood was put into a black bag and taken to a terrible hospital where often does shady things.

For example, rich people who have some kidney problems because of overindulgence will come here for kidney replacement surgery. After all, the people who come here are the least short of money, the rich will find a poor man and give him a price he can not refuse to buy him a kidney. It is still a relatively civilized method, and there are even direct arrests to forcibly take a kidney. And this kind of thing is not uncommon.

When the boy arrived at this black hospital he called out at the front desk, "Is there anyone there?"

"Yes." A nurse a little taller than himself approached the boy.

"Can I help you?" The girl said gently.

"How much is this bag of blood worth?" The boy looked and pointed to the bag in his hand.

"Let me see." The girl took the blood bag and smelled it with a complicated smile on her face. But the girl's face was covered by the mask, the boy could not see the girl's expression.

"This is a bag of good blood, 1000 Bella."

"Deal."

Then the boy took the blue crystal card with its worth of 1000 Bella and left the hospital.
