Trafford's Trading Club

Humans needed to use around 30 years to build their whole worldview, and common animals would probably not be able to do that; as for monsters... they needed more time along with good positions and fortunes.

Luo Qiu, who started to research these, almost had new surprises every day.

It abided by its instinct, although it had learned how to think. Luo Qiu didn’t try to lead its direction of thought with outside viewpoints.

He wouldn’t tell Iron Whistle all the content it wanted to know... For example, a mathematician could give a basic equation, but nobody knows what kind of theoretical system they could put forward.

"What are you doing here?"

...

What are you doing here?

Iron Whistle had gotten used to the sudden voice, so it acted calmly. It didn’t even want to open its eyes, merely moving his body slightly.

There was a thin blanket around its body, with the smell it enjoyed---cheese.

Also, there were some other smells that could trigger its appetite.

This was a bed in the basement---to be exact, this was the house Cheese and his family had lived. It had been empty for two days after Shu Xiaoshu and her babies were taken away by Long Xiruo’s followers.

"Killing time." Iron Whistle gave him a lazy answer.

Luo Qiu felt that was a proper answer.

Wasn’t it? iron Whistle wore a thin blanket and its legs were spread out on the bed. Even if its heavy body bent the bed board, but from any angle, it was like a domestic cat lying in the basket after a big lunch.

"Are you full?"

"No. On the contrary, I feel hungrier. Recently I found I cannot feel full no matter how much I eat... Is this the ’desire’ you mentioned?"

"Appetite is one kind of desire."

Iron Whistle fell silent; he asked, "But why don’t I want to move even if I feel hungry? I’m sure I want to eat Cheese, but I don’t know why I can hold back this feeling when I stay here... Well, is it the ’pain’ you mentioned?"

"This place?" Luo Qiu said with slight astonishment.

Crack.

Iron Whistle opened its eyes, looking around before saying, "It’s a weird feeling. I know it is bad for myself, but I’m unwilling to leave. Anyway, I know I will not stay here any longer."

"Why?"

"Because it’s bad to me." Iron Whistle gave him the answer as per its biological nature, "I cannot stay in a place where it is bad for me."

"Do you think you may be a threat to other beings, so they don’t want you to stay here?"

Iron Whistle was stunned, and said so, "It’s a very common thing. I need to exist, and others too. They are weaker than me, so they cannot stop me from eating them. If I’m weaker than them, I’ll be eaten."

"In other words, if another creature is able to expel you from this place, you won’t feel angry or hateful, will you?"

"Hateful? Angry?" Iron Whistle thought for a very long time, then shook its head, "I don’t know, but..."

"Did you hesitate?"

Iron Whistle shook its head, "I don’t know. I think if I cannot stay here, I don’t want the one who would kill me to be Cheese... Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because that will cause me a lot of pain. I know something in my body keeps stopping me... no, I cannot stay here any longer."

Iron Whistle got out of bed; its tail lashed the bed violently, dividing it into two parts.

It suddenly roared and climbed out of the basement room.

Boss Luo then showed himself. He glanced at the broken bed, waving his hand to restore it.

Luo Qiu looked up to the thing sticking on the wall.

It was a certificate of merit that kids brought back from school. Parents tend to stick it on the wall.

Nobody knew who set this precedent.

That weekend afternoon, the sunny weather turned cloudy.

...

...

Being operated by a large amount of capital power, a gorgeous huge stage had been built half a day before the program.

Therefore, all the singers had time to prepare... and it gave rise to the rehearsal.

Hong Guan didn’t know if he could avoid stage-fright and perform well in the studio of the TV station, let alone such a huge gymnasium.

Could only his nightclub experience calm him down?

Looking at a famous singer practicing on the stage, Hong Guan palms sweated--- ’Was it to easy-going to promise Zhong to take part in this program?’

But thinking that he had mentioned it to his pregnant wife and her admiring look, Hong Guan had to make good on his promise.

"Mr. Hong, Mr. Hong!"

Cheng Yun called him and walked quickly towards him, "Why are you staying here? Isn’t it your turn? Are there any problems? Just tell me."

Hong Guan appreciated that and smiled bitterly, "I feel... a little nervous."

’Then why did you come here’... Cheng Yun thought that, but didn’t show it. Instead, he said, "Mr. Hong, good news, I found what you asked me to look for and will send it to you tomorrow!"

Hong Guan was surprised, "In such a short time..."

Cheng Yun was complacent, "Mr. Hong, Feiyun Entertainment is powerful! This is just a small case... Oh, do you have any other requirements? I’ll try to coordinate with you!"

Hong Guan took a deep breath and shook his head, "No... I’m going to the rehearsal! I need to pass this stage."

Under the gaze of those old stars and the other singers’ agents, Hong Guan stiffly walked onto the stage.

It was wonderful...

One day ago, he was just a street singer, singing while selling power banks on the square.

’Yiran... did you want me to tell you something here?’

Such an idea rose up in Hong Guan’s mind, when he faced the spacious gymnasium without any audience.

...

Another man got on the stage... watching the guy under it, Wind sneered, "Enjoy yourself, because you’ll have no time to show off."

Wind was now standing at one corner of the rooftop, overlooking this city.

Soon, a figure climbed up to the rooftop behind Wind, then walked carefully to him.

It was a human with a staff uniform, not a monster.

Well, a high-level staff.

"Wind, I’ve done it." The man said, "I’ve changed it before it was sent here. They also set it up and didn’t find anything weird."

The wind blew strongly, making sounds through the human’s clothes. Wind revealed a slight hint of a smile, "Good job."

"We’re good friends right! It’s just a small case." The human laughed.

"Right, we’re good friends." Wind squinted his eyes, "I’m eager to watch the show tomorrow..."

Wind sneered, clapped his hands, before saying, "BOOM!"
