The contractor came out of the house, then got into the pickup truck. He looked at Vergo and spoke casually.

"Get in, let's head to your house."

Vergo nodded, then he got into the vehicle and sat in the passenger seat.

He looked ahead and immediately opened his phone.

The contractor started the engine, and the vehicle moved forward, leaving his house behind.

"I haven't introduced myself to you yet, are you new to Area 6? I've never seen you before."

When Vergo was asked, he shook his head. "I've been here for quite a while. I just rarely leave the house."

"Oh, no wonder I've never seen you before. By the way, my name is Alex. I'm a contractor in Area 6."

"Yes, I saw it on the signboard outside your store earlier." Vergo replied casually. "My name is Vergo, and I'm just an ordinary student."

"Vergo...? Ah, so you're Vergo. If you had told me your name earlier, I would've known who you were right away." Alex suddenly realized who the young man beside him was.

He did not expect to meet the person who was rumored to be a young man who had completely lost his spirit.

There was no vitality in him, and even his own house had not been properly maintained. It was as if Vergo was not a young man with a bright future.

"So, have you finally decided to change for the better?" Alex asked, smiling as he posed the question.

Vergo looked at Alex for a moment, then leaned back in the passenger seat. "Change... maybe."

Vergo answered truthfully, because change itself was not a matter of personality, but of a different soul replacing everything bad with something good.

There was nothing wrong with his answer, because the transfer of a soul could not be considered wrong.

Alex was naturally pleased to hear that. He then spoke casually. "If you ever need anything, just let me know. If I can help, I will."

Vergo smiled, then replied jokingly. "What about dealing with the Dog Hand thugs?"

When the contractor heard that, he frowned. "Oh, dealing with them... that's easy. After all, workers aren't afraid of mere thugs!"

Vergo looked at the contractor and realized that the man's words were not a lie.

Those words were genuine and filled with confidence, as if he regarded thugs as nothing more than a group of useless people.

"Heh, workers really are unpredictable." Vergo said casually, then looked straight ahead.

Alex smiled broadly. "Yeah, what can I say? We're more afraid of our wives and children going hungry than facing punks like them!"

It was the unwavering resolve of a worker. Vergo understood that, he nodded in agreement, and not long afterward they arrived at the location.

Fortunately, Vergo's house was quite far from the area controlled by the Dog Hand group. It could be said that his house was deep inside the district.

It could also be said that the place where he lived was known as the inner area, and it was inhabited only by people living miserable lives.

Back to the present...

The vehicle stopped, and both Vergo and Alex got out while looking at the house that appeared to be in ruins.

Alex fell silent when he saw the terrible condition of the house. He looked at the small iron gate that had already been badly dented.

"Is this really your house? It's not a haunted house, is it?" Alex asked, honestly, this was the first time he had ever seen someone living in such a rundown place.

Vergo nodded. "I live here. That's why I want you to renovate it and clean up a few things."

"I can handle the renovation, but for the cleaning, I'll call my wife's team. They're the best choice for a complete overhaul." Alex suggested.

Even though he was also promoting his wife's business, he could honestly admit that his wife's cleaning company had the best team.

As soon as Vergo heard that, he nodded lightly. "Alright, no problem. You can start calculating the details."

"Alright then, I'll inspect the place first!" Alex walked inside, passing through the small iron gate.

He carried his writing tools and began recording every part of the house's structure, especially the land where Vergo's house stood.

It took nearly ten minutes for Alex to finish the inspection.

"Honestly, this house is completely ruined. There's practically no proper foundation left."

"If you want a complete renovation, the cost will be 15 million Col. That already includes the cleaning!"

The price Alex offered was quite low because he knew about Vergo's life, so he naturally felt some sympathy.

Vergo frowned slightly. "Are you sure it's only 15 million Col? Why not 40 to 50 million Col?"

His eyes narrowed as if he had noticed something."This ruthlessness... why am I only finding out about it now?"Drian was quite shocked. There was a young man who fought with such ruthless efficiency.There was no fear of killing someone, just like a military soldier, no, even beyond that.A mindset like that could only be developed after someone had personally experienced what it meant to kill."Find out whether this kid is dangerous or not!" Drian felt that he needed to be wary of the young man."Yes, Master!"Just as the bodyguard turned to leave, the woman sitting beside Drian glanced at him and asked gently, "What's wrong? Why do you look so troubled?""The appearance of that new person has truly been on my mind." Drian replied calmly, not hiding the anomaly.The woman named Irene Trastian looked at her husband with a calm expression. "Why worry about it? Have you forgotten that Dave is following that

    The three students were stunned. They did not expect the loser standing before them to actually dare to mock them.This made them laugh in anger."Haha, good! Good! It seems the lesson Gutso gave you really didn't make you come to your senses!""Yeah, it looks like you need another lesson right now!""You two stay back, let me teach him!"One of the three stepped forward while cracking his fingers.The young man charged toward Vergo, then leaped forward and swung his fist.Vergo watched the attack while sneering. "What an idiot!"Swush!Vergo dodged, the fist passed by his side, then he raised his hand.Without mercy, he grabbed the young man's arm and twisted it behind his back, forcing him to his knees.Vergo showed no mercy at all and applied even more pressure than before.Crack!"Ahhh!" The young man who launched the attack widened his eyes and screamed loudly.The other two students were shocked by what they had just witnessed. They did not expect the class loser to have changed

    Vergo walked out of the room where he was staying. He locked the door and went downstairs from the floor where he now lived.As he walked down the stairs, he came across two young women climbing up."Oh, are you a new resident?"The young woman with long black hair paused in surprise when she saw a young man coming down from the upper floor.Vergo looked at her and nodded lightly. "Yes, nice to meet you. I'm staying in the room at the very end."After saying that, he continued downstairs while waving his hand.However, he did not notice the shock on the two young women's faces at all."He actually dares to stay there?""I don't know. A lot of people moved out of that room, even though they said it had already been cleaned.""Yeah, but why do I feel like that young man looks familiar?"The young woman with short brown hair seemed to recall something.However, she could not remember anyone whose face matched the young man from earlier."I thought I was the only one, but it turns out you

    Vergo looked toward the door of the room that would become his new place to live. He saw Grandpa Fan handing him the key to the room."Remember, keep the place clean and well maintained. You can use any of the facilities inside, but take good care of them!" Grandpa Fan gave a direct reminder.Vergo nodded lightly as he accepted the room key. "Yes, I'll make sure to take good care of everything inside!"Grandpa Fan smiled, then turned around and left the floor where Vergo was staying.As for Vergo, he watched the elderly man for a moment before opening the door and walking inside.As soon as he entered, Vergo looked around and raised an eyebrow when he saw that the room was quite clean.There was a kitchen connected to the living area. Beside it was a door leading to the bedroom, and there was also a bathroom near the kitchen.This made Vergo feel somewhat relieved. He walked into the bedroom and placed down his belongings.Then, he looked inside the refrigerator and found nothing at a

    Alex smiled, then gave a brief explanation. "Honestly, this is an easy job, just think of it as me helping you!""Keep your money and just pay 15 million Col. You can pay it in installments, you don't have to pay the full amount right away!" He said.This made Vergo pause for a moment, then he smiled and nodded once. "The price can stay the same, but I'll accept the installment payment!"Vergo naturally did not want to owe too much to other people. He knew that Alex was a good person, but he was not someone who trusted such things easily."I'll pay 3 million first, then I'll pay the rest later when I have the money." Vergo said casually.He needed 1.5 million to strengthen his body before carrying out his next plan.Alex nodded in agreement. "No problem, you can send it to this bank account!"He handed his bank card to Vergo, then turned around and headed toward the vehicle. "I'll come here tomorrow and start the work.""Alright, thank you, Sir!" Vergo replied casually, then watched t
