Hearing the young man’s words, Wang Mang was stunned.
There was already a candidate?
He hurriedly asked, “Tell me about this person.”
To this, the young man retorted, “Do you agree to my request?”
“Alright.” Wang Mang nodded slightly. “Tell me about the situation first. As long as this person fits the requirements, it’s not impossible to fulfill your request.
Then, the young man sighed.
“Actually, speaking of this brother of mine, sigh, he’s quite pitiful.”
“His parents passed away when he was young. Later, when he entered society he was scammed by a multi-level marketing scheme at the age of 15, and was forced to work for them until 18. He lost his leg at the age of 20.”
“Then, when he was 22 years old, he lost his other leg in a workplace accident while setting up a roadside stall.”
“Originally, the compensation money was enough to live comfortably, but who would have thought that the world would change so suddenly and money would become useless.”
“Now, he basically makes a living by begging.”
The young man felt emotional just speaking about it.
Wang Mang was stunned.
F*ck! This was too tragic!
Furthermore, it seemed that Wang Mang was about to make things worse for this person, in a way.
Thinking this, he could not help but ask, “Are you sure he’s willing to do it?”
The young man immediately nodded and said, “Absolutely! He’s living a life worse than death now!”
“As a beggar, he is ostracized and often beaten up. He’s told me more than once that he is thinking of dying.”
Hmm…
It seemed that this fellow’s brother really fit the bill.
Thus, Wang Mang nodded.
“I can agree to your request, but you have to help me convince him.”
“Can we go find him now? If it is possible, 1 would like to settle this matter as soon as possible.”
The young man nodded confidently.
“Follow me! 1 know where he lives!”
Seeing this, Wang Mang did not say anything more and followed the young man, who led him to a dilapidated corner of the town, which seemed to be full of squatters and homeless people.
There were many shanty houses here that were slated to be demolished, but no one bothered with it anymore given the current state of the world.
At this moment, the young man sighed.
“If it weren’t for the great changes in this era, this guy would definitely be a multimillionaire.”
“As you can see, the times have changed!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang could not help but sympathize with this guy. Had this guy been cursed in his previous life?
Otherwise, why would he encounter all kinds of unlucky things?
Soon, led by the young man, Wang Mang arrived at a foul-smelling and crude street. Not far away was the town’s garbage dump.
It was simply not a place for people to stay!
“This is the place!”
At a place near the garbage dump, behind a dilapidated building, the young man stopped and covered his nose. Wang Mang’s acute sense of smell was killing him at this moment.
“Hurry up and lead the way!”
They then entered the building. Inside, they saw a man who had lost two legs who was laboriously cleaning up the old junk.
Wang Mang was a little surprised to see this, but after thinking about it, he understood.
Even though the times were about to change, these old and dilapidated waste products were still worth some money, and perhaps would come in handy in the future.
It was like the scrap metal and recycling industry. After all, even if the world collapsed, materials would not become worthless, and would be useful to create tools and weapons.
The young man walked up with a smile and said, “Brother Liu, I’m here to see you. How have you been recently?”
Upon hearing this, the man who was cleaning up the trash looked up at the young man with a self-deprecating expression.
“Brother? Look at me? I’m not worthy of being your brother now! You are now an official member of the Black Dragon Gang.”
“When I begged you to help me join the Black Dragon Gang, you refused to say anything. How dare you call me your brother now!”
“Are you pretending to be kind? You haven’t even visited me in two months!”
Hearing this, the young man smiled awkwardly and said, “Brother Liu, 1 was busy, but I’m here to see you now!”
“Besides, we’re childhood friends! We’ve known each other since we were young!”
“We’ll be good brothers for life. How could I forget you if there’s something good?”
“This time, I’ve brought you an opportunity! Whether or not you can grasp this opportunity will depend on you!”
“When you become rich, don’t forget me!”
Unfortunately, in the face of the young man’s touching words, the man who had lost his legs sneered.
Seeing this, the young man smiled shamelessly at the legless young man and said, “Brother, just wait for a while. It’s really a good thing this time!”
With that, the young man gestured toward Wang Mang to go outside with him.
Seeing this, Wang Mang was puzzled, but he still walked outside.
After arriving outside, the young man looked at Wang Mang with a bitter expression and said, “Brother, this matter won’t be easy to handle! You saw his attitude yourself.”
“Besides, to be honest, he’s my childhood friend!”
“So…”
Hearing this, Wang Mang’s eyes turned cold. “So, were you just taking me for a ride? You gave your word before you came here, but now you want to tell me that you can’t handle it?”
The young man quickly shook his head and explained with a frown, “Brother, don’t misunderstand!”
“I really didn’t expect him to throw our friendship out the window!”
“His attitude is very difficult to deal with now, but I am still confident that I can handle him!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang’s expression eased up a lot, but he still snapped, “And so? What are you trying to say here?”
Seeing this, the young man sighed awkwardly and said,
“Actually, what I mean is…”
“He and I have been brothers for decades, and our relationship is very deep.”
“You have to pay more…”
