Chapter 946: Chapter 946: Moon Smith’s Story

Many memories now resurfaced as Peter Brown danced with Moon Smith, methodically sorting through the events he personally recalled.

Although Peter didn’t socialize much with his classmates, the issue of Moon Smith had come up while he was sharing a meal with a few of them at a barbecue stall.

According to them, Moon had committed suicide by jumping from the top of the Coastal Entertainment City shortly after Peter went to jail. Her death was a big deal in the county, revealing only after some media exposure that she had a tragic backstory.

Her mother was paralyzed, and to raise money, she was forced to sell herself to a gang in the county. But even though she had done what they demanded, her mother died from gas asphyxiation at home. In her helplessness, Moon jumped off the building.

Peter gazed at her as he thought about her sorry end.

Under the lights, Peter could see more clearly the striking beauty of this girl, who’d always been aloof in class, and noted the unique charm she possessed.

Further inspection revealed that she had a Water Spiritual Root of top grade, making her a perfect candidate for cultivation.

Lately, it seemed strange to him how all the girls he came across had Spiritual Roots!

Peter felt it odd that he, who used to find it extremely difficult to find someone with a Spiritual Root, could now spot them everywhere.

She really was a beautiful girl!

Peter speculated that her death years ago must not have been as simple as it seemed, perhaps there were many things she was aggrieved about.

Thinking about the times when the gang controlled him, Peter could imagine what she must have gone through under such circumstances.

Upon that thought, Peter said, "Surely you would not have been driven to do such things, even if your mother was paralyzed, right?"

"What? You!"

Moon, taken aback as if her tail had been stepped on, immediately paused mid-dance and looked up at Peter.

Peter continued, "I also know that you have an agreement with some people. You thought you could obtain a large sum of money in return for such actions, which you planned to use for your mother’s treatment. But have you ever thought, even if you do all this, as a weak woman, could you claim this money? And if your mother found out how you obtained the money, what would she do?"

Peter’s words struck Moon like a hammer blow. She became stunned, and appeared to be drained of all energy, and started to collapse.

Peter quickly grabbed Moon, sat her down on a couch and looked at her.

Tears began to stream down Moon’s face as her whole body shook with sobs, holding her face hunched over helplessly.

Seeing her in such a state, Peter couldn’t help but feel sympathetic and sigh. He felt that the girl who seemed cold as frost on the outside, might be carrying a weight of regret and helplessness inside her.

Peter didn’t try to console her, just sat there and let her cry for a while.

"What can I do? What can I do?" Moon suddenly looked at Peter.

"Let me guess. You might have made a deal with someone that, after offering yourself, you would get a large sum of money, probably 100,000 yuan, and then you would get a share of the earnings when you had clients. But have you ever thought that, given your beauty, these people wouldn’t let you go easily. If you take your money and leave, they will refuse, at most they give you a part of the money. From then on, you would be stuck in their clutches. Sure, you might say they keep their word and promise to give you this sum. But did you consider whether this money would be sufficient to treat your paralyzed mother? If it’s not, you may go down a darker path."

Looking at Moon, who appeared to be dazed, Peter continued, "So let’s consider another possibility. You got the money and sent your mother to a hospital for treatment. But when she finds out the source of the money, that her daughter did such a thing to get it, what will she think? Will she agree to use it for treatment? Given the character of your mother, would she take her own life?"

"Stop talking!"

Moon started crying again.

Peter sighed again, "You actually do quite well academically. As long as you work hard, you still have a bright future. Don’t you care about your own future?"

"It’s of no use, it’s too late!"

Moon murmured to herself.

"Share with me, perhaps, I might be able to help. At the very least, I do have money, you know." Peter looked at Moon.

"You can’t help me, I’m already in too deep!"

Moon said helplessly.

"Oh, what’s the situation?" Peter realized that things were not as he had understood them to be.

"My mother suddenly became paralyzed, and I was out of options. A friend introduced me to Mr. Hong, a local ringleader. He said he could lend me money, albeit on condition that I entertain clients here. They already lent me 200,000 yuan, to be deducted from my earnings, and I’ve used the money already."

Peter looked surprised at Moon; he didn’t expect that the gangsters had really lent her the money.

"Ha-ha, 200,000. With interest, there’s no way I can repay it. I’ve accepted their extensive ’training’, and now they’re just waiting for me to start working here. From today, only a girl named Iris exists here, there’s no more Moon Smith."

Faking a crazed state, Moon grabbed Peter’s hand, clutching it to her chest, and said loudly, "Here you go, take it. It’s better that I lose my virginity to a classmate - it’s definitely better than being taken by hideous old men. I know you all secretly like me and even want to have me. Now I’m all yours and you can even enjoy the various ’services’, I’ve learned."

As she spoke, she seemed to have further descended into madness.

Seeing her like this, Peter knew she didn’t want to resort to this; she was just backed into a corner with no other options.

"I can help you resolve these issues. I just want to ask one question: do you need my help?" Peter asked, holding the frenzied Moon Smith in place.
