The next morning, the sun shone through the colorful glass on the face of the sleeping boy. Shen Tong rubbed his eyes with his hands in confusion and opened his black eyes. He had a good rest last night, so his mental state was also very good. After getting up, he simply washed up and knocked on Nina's door across the street. "Nina, I have something to do today, so I may be back late." "Well... I know." After a while, Nina responded lazily inside, obviously not awake yet. Shen Tong did not stay any longer after hearing this, and quietly left downstairs. On the way downstairs, he accidentally met a woman with glasses wearing nun's decorations. Soma, the director of the orphanage, is about 40 years old. He has a kind and warm smile on his face, giving people a sense of intimacy.

"You are Nina's friend, right? I heard that you will live here for a while."

Soma asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Shentong thanked politely after hearing this.

"It's okay. Helping children is my mission."

"I'm very happy for Nina to have such a polite friend like you."

"If you don't mind this place, you can stay as long as you want."

Soma generously accepted Shentong's stay here.

Shentong felt very surprised. He was worried that he would be driven out if he was discovered. Now that he has received the director's personal recognition, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Thank you."

After thanking Soma again, he hurriedly left the orphanage.

He has a lot of things to do today.

First, he is going to go to the farmer's market to meet Jeff, his stepfather.

Shen Tong went to Jeff not to ask for money, but to report that he was safe in the city. After all, this was the first time he had lived independently since he was a child, and it was inevitable that his mother Azeya would worry about him.

After he arrived at the farmer's market, he found the old place and waited.

Usually, Jeff could enter the city around noon. If he was delayed in the middle, it would probably be delayed until the afternoon.

But this time Shen Tong was lucky. At noon, a carriage full of cherries came to the market. It was Jeff who arrived.

"Father."

Shen Tong hurried up to greet him.

"Shen Tong, how have you been these two days?" Jeff smiled when he saw him.

"Well, not bad, I have found a job." Shen Tong reported to him.

"That's great, what do you do?"

"Bounty hunter."

"What?!"

Hearing the answer, Jeff, who was originally calm, suddenly showed a shocked expression.

He thought that even if Shen Tong found a job, it must be a newspaper boy or a postman, after all, a child could only find such a job.

But Jeff really didn't expect that he would be a bounty hunter.

"Shen Tong, you...are you kidding?"

Jeff's face was full of disbelief. After all, as an adult, he must be very clear about the threshold to become a bounty hunter.

"It's true. I picked up a pistol in the city, and then ran to register."

Shen Tong knew that Jeff was also doubting him, so he took out a pistol from his waist and showed it to him.

When he saw the conclusive evidence, Jeff put aside his doubts.

"Oh my God, this is crazy."

"Should I say you are brave or lucky?"

"Do you know that being a bounty hunter is a life-threatening job."

"I know."

"Then why are you still going to participate?"

"Because the reward is high, and I want to improve my family's life."

Shen Tong lowered his head at this point.

He didn't lie in this sentence, but it came from the heart.

When she first came to this world, her mother suffered a lot for her. Not only was she forced to end her family, she also had to leave her hometown and remarry. If other women had the same experience, they would have collapsed long ago.

It was because of Azeya's strength that she was able to grow up to where she is today.

So Shentong has always been worried about it and wanted to repay Azeya by compensating her.

In addition, her younger brother Eric is growing up day by day, and he will definitely have to go to school when the time comes. Tuition is an expensive expense.

In short, there will be many places where money will be needed in the future.

So Shentong wants to do his best to help this family reduce the burden.

After listening to Shentong's thoughts, Jeff showed a trace of shame on his face.

In fact, the living expenses he gave before were only enough to barely maintain food and clothing. After all, the minimum cost of staying in a hotel in the city starts at five dollars.

From this, we can imagine where Shen Tong would stay during these nights.

Without a doubt, he must have been sleeping outdoors.

Because of this incident, Jeff was scolded by Azeya after he returned.

"Shen Tong, you are indeed a sensible and good child. You know how to share the pressure for the family."

"Take this. I know you must not have much money on you."

I don't know if it was out of guilt or because he was moved by Shen Tong's words just now, Jeff took out a ten-dollar bill and handed it to him.

Shen Tong didn't want to ask Jeff for money, but since the other party took the initiative to give it, he naturally took it.

"Father, please go back and tell mother that I am safe here."

"Yes, I will."

After the two finished their speeches, they separated and went about their own business.

Jeff continued to sell cherries, while Shen Tong prepared the next plan.

"System, scan the location of Bartybyne."

He silently said a sentence in his mind, and soon a triangle mark appeared in his sight.

I saw a red triangle mark, firmly locked to a certain position in the distance.

"Backstreet?"

From the location pointed by the mark, Shentong concluded that the area was the backstreet.

The backstreet is closely connected to the lower city, and the security situation is also worrying. Many people of all kinds like to go to this area.

Shentong groped in that direction along the mark, and soon arrived at the backstreet.

Compared with the lower city, there are many more people here.

He wandered around the street and finally found a card room.

The card room, as the name suggests, is a place for playing cards and entertainment. To put it bluntly, it is a casino, and it is the favorite place for people of all kinds to go.

"That's it."

Shentong confirmed that Bartybyn was inside and was ready to go in to investigate the target.

However, he stopped halfway because a tall and mighty strong man stood at the door with a pistol hanging on his waist and guarding the door.

"Children are not allowed in the card room, just like in the bar."

"If you force your way in, you will definitely be stopped, and you might even alert the other party."

Shintong frowned and thought.

This time he just came to investigate and see if he could find the other party's weakness. He didn't want to have a conflict with Bartybine now.

"If you know the transformation technique at this time, it will be much easier."

Shintong couldn't help but sigh. It was all because he was just starting out now. Many useful ninjutsu in Naruto were not available yet.

Just as he frowned and thought hard, he suddenly saw a newsboy with a height similar to his own selling newspapers at the entrance of the alley not far away.

"Got it!"

Shintong's eyes lit up immediately.

Then he quietly walked behind the newsboy, and while the other party was not paying attention, he knocked the newsboy's neck with a knife, knocked the newsboy unconscious and quickly dragged him into the alley.

A few minutes later, Shintong walked out of the alley wearing the newsboy's clothes.

"That's fine."

Looking at his current costume, Shen Tong smiled with satisfaction.

Newsboys are a legal profession and can freely enter and exit any public place, and the card room is also legal, so newsboys have the right to go in and deliver newspapers.

Shen Tong buttoned up his clothes, put on the newsboy's octagonal hat, put on the crossbody bag full of newspapers, and walked towards the card room.

"Stop, what are you doing."

When he came to the door of the card room, he was stopped by the strong man guarding the door.

"I'm delivering newspapers to the gentlemen inside. They really need to know the latest news."

Shen Tong answered in a leisurely tone.

Hearing this, the strong man looked down at him for a few times, and seeing that he was wearing a newsboy uniform, he said calmly: "Go in, remember to come out quickly."

After saying that, he took the initiative to open the door.

Shen Tong showed an imperceptible smile, and the other party did not stop the newsboy.

In this way, he successfully sneaked into the card room with the identity of a newsboy.

Buzz!

As soon as he entered the room, the noisy sound immediately reached his ears.

He saw that the room was crowded with people everywhere. The room was as spacious as a small gymnasium, and the air was filled with a strong smell of tobacco.

The card tables were already full, and there were all kinds of people playing cards.

There were ordinary people in shabby clothes, well-dressed businessmen, and even many special people with pistols hanging around their waists.

Shen Tong was also stunned standing at the door. Sure enough, this place was a mixed bag.

After he recovered, he walked inside.

Through the mark given by the system, it was determined that Batibyne was sitting in this hall.

After passing through the crowded crowd, Shen Tong came to the inside and found seven men with guns in the corner.

These seven people were playing cards attentively, in sharp contrast to the other noisy tables. They seemed particularly quiet, even a little too silent.

Among them, the man sitting in the main seat was particularly eye-catching.

He was wearing

He was wearing a yellow leather suit with a bullet bag hanging on it, a cowboy hat on his head, a pair of legs casually resting on the table, and a few decks of cards in his hands.

The man pulled the brim of his hat down so low that only his mouth could be seen from the opposite side, as if he was afraid of being recognized.

However, only Shen Tong knew that the man was exactly the target he was looking for, Barty Byrne.

"Found you!"
