"Crack----"
The sound of a dry branch being stepped on. The sound of a dead branch being stepped on was so obvious in the silence of the night that it made Levin stop in his tracks.
"Who is it?"
Levin rushes forward into the darkness, trying to stay calm.
"Hey, you've been spotted!"
A voice with a duck's voice came from the darkness, along with the sound of several different footsteps, Levin could only see a few black shadows, but Sirena raised her pupils and saw clearly who was coming.
They were three fierce-looking, yellow-haired punks who looked to be in their teens, but were so skinny that they looked like skeletons.
"One of them slowly walked up to me, holding a stick in one hand and tapping it on the other, "You've made a lot of money from this kitten, haven't you?"
The man laughed in a grimace, revealing a mouth full of black and yellow stained teeth, and reached out his fingers to touch Sirena, but retracted his hand when he saw Sirena's fierce grin.
His arms tightened, and Sirena could feel his nervousness and anxiety.
"Do you realize that you're going to a place where you're covered by your brothers?" The thug closed in on Levin, his eyes fierce and greedy.
"If you know what you're doing, you should pay the protection fee. These days, we've stopped a lot of trouble makers for you, you know?"
Sirena heard that these people are blackmailing, but Levin looked at the three in front of him, although thin, but he is still against the powerless, the heart hesitates for a long time, but still open the mouth to ask, "to ... pay how much?"
Sirena anxiously meowed twice, but only in exchange for Levin to hold her tighter.
She didn't know that Levin wasn't being deceitful, but was worried about her safety.
Even though she was just an ordinary cat. But it seems that in Levin's eyes, she is a unique treasure.
While Sirena was still lost in thought, the thug on the other side had already spoken.
"It's not much, let's pay 500 for this month."
That's not much!
Levin took two steps back, and made up his mind not to pay.
You know, basically, all the money they collect every day has to be given to the head, that is, in the past few months, with the cat, the income has become a bit more, and after paying the required money, they can still secretly save a few dollars or ten or so every day, but now, he has only saved four hundred dollars, where can he find that much money?
Moreover, even if he gave all the money to these people, according to what Thug said, it was only for this month, so he would still have to pay for the next month, wouldn't he?
Levin gritted his teeth, when will he be able to go home? Levin scanned the area out of the corner of his eye, took advantage of a dark cloud blocking the full moon, hugged Sirena tightly, and turned to run.
The three men probably didn't expect to be deterred, and after a moment's hesitation, they rushed towards Levin.
Levin holding Sirena turning left and right, although because they are familiar with the terrain and the advantage, but carrying Sirena, although she's not heavy, but for the child is also a small burden, did not run for long, was the three people caught up.
"Stinky kid, you mother fucker!!!" the thug panted as he grabbed Levin, pulling him back by the hair and sending Levin tumbling to the ground with the force.
