Chapter 869

"Miss, would you like to buy some flowers?" A boy with a dirty face approached Debra, holding a bundle of slightly wilted flowers. Debra's heart softened, and she was about to take the flowers from the boy when Marion suddenly grabbed the boy's wrist.

The boy cried out in pain, dropping the flowers and revealing a hidden switchblade.

Debra gasped, shocked by the sight. Marion's voice was cold as he said, "Mugging in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of death?"

The boy paled with fright. He stumbled back and ran away without picking up the knife.

Debra looked at the crude but sharp blade on the ground. "Why would they want to kill someone?"

"The slums here have chaotic law enforcement," Marion explained. "People do anything to survive. These kids target wealthy people, fishing for sympathy. They stab, rob, and run."

Debra frowned. "Aren't they afraid of being reported to the police?"

"There are no cameras on this street," Marion said. "They smear dirt on their faces to avoid being recognized. With so many poor kids around, the police can't tell them apart. Once they save enough money, the kids will try to leave this city. But they only know how to steal and rob. They won't be able to survive any other way."
