Chapter 54 Elite Among Thieves
Andrew was very unlucky.
Because his second foster mother gave birth to a son.
With a biological son, the foster father became impatient with Andrew.
The second foster mother was full of schemes. Stepmothers were always like the evil queen and Snow White, perpetually at odds with each other.
While the foster father was just being mean with him, the second foster mother started abusing Andrew.
Andrew dropped out of school after the baby's birth and then had to work for the family at a young age. He lived in terrible conditions. In short, Andrew's life was very miserable.
Not only could he not go to school, but he also had to work, eat worse than a dog, and be inexplicably beaten and scolded by the second foster mother, almost abused daily. His body was always covered in bruises, battered and bruised.
People had various characters.
In the same situation, some chose to endure.
Some chose to resist desperately.
Some used wit to resolve conflicts.
Some would rather choose to die!
Andrew's character was not one of endurance. Due to his young age, Andrew was powerless to resist and had to endure. When Andrew grew a little older, at the age of twelve, he finally couldn't bear it and exploded.
It was a snowy night when Andrew first strangled his younger brother, then bludgeoned the second foster mother to death, crippled the foster father, and then fled with the family's money. His ruthlessness was formidable.
But Andrew, a child, soon fell into the hands of a criminal organization after leaving the slums. This criminal organization was a large theft group that specialized in controlling various children to steal and beg.
Fate was varies for different people.
Some children were stiff, had short hands, and lacked the talent for theft. Andrew witnessed these children being cruelly mutilated, having their arms cut off, legs broken, even blinded with hot oil, and then sent out to beg as beggars.
The criminal organization deliberately exposed Andrew to these scenes, hoping to intimidate him.
But Andrew was not intimidated. He only grasped one principle.
"Survival of the fittest!"
Andrew deeply understood that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, where the weak were insignificant, and the strong could dominate everything!
He wanted to become strong!
Andrew had a talent for thievery. His fingers were slender, his mind sharp, and his stature small. He ran as fast as a horse and was diligent in learning. Before long, he stood out among many children and became the most prominent one.
The leader of the criminal organization was a thief master with exquisite skills. It was a piece of cake for him to open any lock with a piece of wire. His hands were so nimble that he could peel a raw egg without damaging the egg inside.
The leader admired Andrew.
Andrew also respected the leader and built good relations with the criminal organization. While other children were beaten daily, Andrew got along very well with its members.
The leader, who had been hit in the groin with an iron rod during a fight in his youth, lost his reproductive ability from then on.
After testing Andrew several times, the leader took Andrew as his adopted son, passing on all his unique skills to Andrew.
Andrew became the second-in-command of the criminal organization.
However, Andrew was smarter than everyone else. He knew that such a criminal organization could not develop long-term. Sensing the impending danger, Andrew secretly informed the police, which led to the complete destruction of the criminal organization. Andrew then kept polishing his skill, and finally became a legendary thief!
Now, at the age of twenty, Andrew was already a renowned thief king, with a high appearance fee.
Jack spent 20 thousand dollars to hire Andrew!
Jack harbored deep hatred towards Skyview. Although 20 thousand dollars was expensive, he thought it was worth it. Ordinary thieves would soon be caught. Only someone like Andrew, the thief king, could continuously steal packages from Lakeview Express, doing consistent damage!
At this moment, on a dilapidated street, Andrew, dressed in black, held a book named "Master Thieves". He was deeply engrossed in reading.
Everyone had some fantasy books they enjoy.
Andrew was no exception.
In that dark era, it was these novels about thieves that expanded Andrew's mental world, allowing him to relax.
Becoming a thief master had always been Andrew's dream.
After reading these novels, he took out his phone and called Jack.
"Jack, for some reason, public opinion about the company has reverted. Are we continuing with this job?" Andrew asked.
"Media opinions are always unpredictable. As long as Lakeview Express continues to lose deliveries, they will still be questioned! After all, facts are more important than any debate!" Jack said bitterly. "My money shouldn't be wasted. We agreed to steal for a week. You are still doing it, aren't you?"
Although Jack was about to go abroad, he still asked Andrew to continue stealing deliveries. Since he had spent one million on it, he wouldn't easily call it off.
"How could I?" Andrew replied. "I just wanted to ask for your opinion. Since you insist on continuing, I will keep my promise! Thieves also have their principles. As an elite among thieves, I am not a person without integrity!"
"Very well, it seems my money was not wasted. I wish you success!" Jack said.
