NovelEnglishChapter 1534
Matthew didn't answer Rat's pleas. Instead, he looked at Tiana with a faint smile. "Tiana, I'm going out with your
brother to run serrands. How about you go into the house to rest?" Tiana nodded obediently in agreement.
"Okay, Mr. Larson."
With that, she ran into the house and went into her bedroom as told.
Matthew glanced at Rat, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Do you wish to save your sister? If so,
cwith me! "
Rat immediately scrambled off the dirty ground and followed Matthew.
Finally, Matthew turned toward Robin and suggested. "Mr. Lane, | guess Hairy will return to exact his revenge.
Why don't you take Tiana with you and find a hiding place?"
When Robin heard Matthew's proposal, he sighed in resignation. "That's fine withtoo. I'll close early today.
Take care."
Matthew nodded with a smile.
Afterward, he left the clinic with Rat, and Robin immediately shut the door.

Rat followed behind Matthew nervously as he didn't know what Matthew was planning.
They kept walking, and Matthew only halted in his tracks once they were out of the alley.
As for Rat, he stood not far behind Matthew. He had his head lowered as he kept tugging at the corner of his
clothes, looking like a child who had done something wrong and was caught red-handed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Larson. |
shouldn't have stolen your stuff. Don't worry. I-I will pay you back the money as soon as possible..." Rat
stammered pathetically while shifting about anxiously.
Matthew merely smiled at Rat as he observed the apprehensive man. Then, he fished out a cigarette and handed
it to Rat.
He had never planned on causing trouble for Rat since the beginning.
Actually, Matthew knew that Rat wasn't an irredeemable person ever since Rat placed his wallet near the police
booth.
Later, after Matthew scrutinized how Rat was so worried about his sister and guessed why he had been leading a
life of crdue to his care for his ill sister, he couldn't help but think of his past self. At that time, | was also
near desperation. Even so, | was still ready to risk everything and tried my best to keep Nat alive. Rat is exactly
the sas | was back then'. So, | decided not only would I not punish him, but | would lend him a helping hand.
Moreover, my trip to Cummeal this tis also a secret solo trip | make to investigate smatters by myself.
Hence, | will eventually need a local to helplead the way and helpinvestigate the matter that was going
on here.And Rat, this local pickpocket, is the perfect guide!
With that in mind, Matthew asked, "Do you want to earn smoney?"
Rat was stunned for a moment before he stared at Matthew in surprise. "W-What kind of money are we talking
about?"
Matthew didn't give him the full details on what he needed Rat to do; instead, he was rather vague when he
replied, "Helpget something done. Once you've completed the job successfully, | will write off the money you
stole from me. Not only that, I'll give you another 300,000 and treat your sister for free. How about that?"
Rat almost cried out in joy when he heard Matthew's offer.
Therefore, he stumbled when answering in his haste to agree, "Mr. Larson, y-you don't need to givemoney.
As long as you can cure my sister's illness, no matter the job, | will never back down despite how perilous it
might be!"
Matthew chuckled softly after hearing Rat's declaration. "It's not extremely dangerous. What | want you to do is
very simple. This is my first tin Cummeal. So, | need a guide who can helplead the way and givea
detailed explanation of the local climate in Cummeal. So, would you like to be my guide?"
Rat couldn't help but be taken aback by the turn of events. He thought he would have to do something that
might stain his conscience, so it never crossed his mind that the task Matthew would ask him to do was actually
so simple.

I just have to be a guide. Any local in Cummeal can do that.
Therefore, he looked at Matthew suspiciously, wondering what on earth Matthew was getting at. There's no such
thing as a free meal, plus curing his sister was something worth more than one free meal. Matthew glanced at
Rat's apprehensive expression and inquired, "What's wrong? Do you not want to?"
Rat feared that Matthew might go back on his word if he disagreed, so he immediately stated, "I-I'm willing to. M-
Mr. Larson, I'll do whatever you wantto do!"
Matthew nodded in satisfaction. "Very well. Let's go."
Rat asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
Matthew answered, "I'm hungry. Let's find a place to have sfood first. Also-since | have just arrived here, |
have to find a hotel to stay in."
Realization hit Rat, and he immediately added, "Mr. Larson, | know a hotel with pretty cheap rates. | will take you
there..."
Since Matthew was rich, he didn't bother much about the price rates of the hotel. Therefore, he said, "It does not
necessarily have to be cheap. Just taketo the best local hotel."
Rat glanced at Matthew in shock as he didn't expect that this non-local who chere by bus was actually a
secret billionaire.
