Chapter 243 Before I Die

Alvin asks himself that he has seen the world, but it is the first time that a person can make his face so terrifying!

The gray-clothed man was thin and frail, and his exposed hands turned to the two dry chicken feet. The hair on his head is messy like a homeless man. The most important thing is that the corners of his mouth are cut open, and the knife edges on both sides extend all the way to the cheeks, making him look like he is always smiling!

The most unacceptable thing for Alvin is that the doctor who sutured his wound did not suture completely for him. As long as this guy has a big expression on his face, dark purple gums will be exposed, making him look extremely terrifying!

The little girl outside the door, Alexis, who has been living in Manhattan, has been scared and screamed by the terrifying appearance of the man in gray!

Young Nick now acted like a responsible little man, stared at him, and walked around in front of the two girls. He opened his arms to block the two little girls behind him, and bravely looked at the smiling weirdo! The thin body blocked the sight of the smiling eccentric, and by the way also blocked Ginny's curious gaze.

Alvin looked at this middle-aged man, who was obviously a heavy drug addict, and raised his hands skillfully under Beckett's gun!

Stark watched the man in gray involuntarily say a dirty word and said, "What the hell is this? Is he still alive?"

The man in gray seemed to be very familiar with the police's muzzle, and was not very afraid of Beckett's pistol. He just raised his hand honestly, with a terrifying "smile" on his face, and shouted, "I haven't done anything bad recently, Miss Police Officer, please put down your gun and don't point it at me!"

Alvin glanced at Sol and Dom, who were calm outside the door, and said to Officer Beckett, "Put down the gun! Officer Beckett, he can't hurt anyone here!"

Speaking of which, Alvin glanced at Cassel and Stark, and whispered to himself, "It should be!"

With an ugly face, Stark kicked Mark 5 under the bar at his feet! Glancing at Alvin angrily, he said, "Maybe we should fight in the ring, Alvin! I've been doing karate pretty well recently!"

Alvin shrugged noncommittally, kissed Fox on the mouth, glanced at Stark, and made a "weak chicken" mouth shape, which made Fox glance at Stark, and then couldn't help it. , with a dumb smile! Mmm, very figurative!

Cassel didn't hear Alvin speak softly. The old man stared at the man in gray with some fanaticism, and kept saying, "Thriller, horror, wisdom, evil, religion, a series of words!" He looks more like a perverted murderer than the man in gray, but he is dressed decently!

The man in gray, who was fearless in the face of the muzzle, was a little unnatural in the face of Cassel, and shouted at Beckett in a nervous tone: "Don't worry about this lunatic, what the hell is he talking about! "

Beckett didn't put down his gun. The man in gray would show his disgusting gums whenever he spoke. It was very terrifying. No matter who made himself like this, he must have nothing to do with good people!

Beckett changed from holding a gun with one hand to holding a gun with both hands, pointed at the man in gray, and shouted, "Raise your hand high, don't move!"

The gray-clothed man smiled bitterly, raised his hands obediently, and said, "Officer, you always have to tell me why you are doing this? I said, I haven't done anything bad recently!"

Alvin could feel that the man in gray was not hostile to this place, but he was not persuading Officer Beckett to put down his gun.

This dude looks really scary, and it's normal to be pointed at by a gun. If he appeared in Hell's Kitchen at night like this, he would never live the next day! When the gangs here encounter intimidation, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely to fight back! How can hell's kitchen feel safe when going out at night without a gun, so~~

Alvin patted Fox's butt, walked to Officer Beckett's side, smiled and said, "Dude, what's the matter with you here? To be honest, your appearance is not suitable for appearing in Hell's Kitchen, He will make you suffer!"

The man in gray had a strange expression, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm here to find Principal Alvin, and my boss, Robert McCall, said that Principal Alvin can be found here!"

When Alvin heard him call Boss Robert, he was stunned for a moment. He reached out and pressed down Beckett's pistol. He said to the man in gray, "Is there anything you are looking for?"

The man in gray saw Officer Beckett put down his pistol, and when he heard Alvin's question, he took two steps forward excitedly and said, "My name is John, John Cassini, I have a daughter and a son, I heard there is a community school in Hell's Kitchen that helps kids get to college.

I went to the school to find out, but they only accept Hell's Kitchen kids, and kids from outside need a lot of money to come and study!

So I'm coming to you, Principal Alvin! I don't have that much money, and I've tried my best to scrape together $20,000 to get my two kids into school? "

As John folded his hands together, he didn't even move when he faced Beckett's muzzle. At this moment, his knees softened and he wanted to kneel to the ground, but was stopped by the quick-eyed Alvin.

Fox walked to Alvin's side, looked at Alvin with strange eyes, and said, "Why didn't I know that community schools still charge tuition fees? How much more?"

Alvin glanced at John and said irritably: "That's for foreign students. Now the capacity of community schools is limited, and even if we enroll students in other places, we will only ask for children with excellent academic performance, such as Peter and Gwen. of!

This dude's kid clearly doesn't meet the requirements of a community school! Otherwise, no one would tell him about tuition fees at all!

It was a project to relieve the school's financial constraints. Now only one child has entered the school through this project, and that is Harry! "

Fox nodded and didn't speak. She was a woman with compassion, but not the kind of woman who swayed her kindness. Since Alvin has said that the community school has rules and is not discriminating against John, who has a scary face, she feels that there is no need to meddle in her own business!

John obviously knew about these things, and someone at the community school must have explained it to him. Seeing Alvin say it again now, John folded his hands together and said the most sincere words with his terrifying mouth, "I can see that you are a kind person, please help me!

I have $20,000, please take it and let my two children go to school. I'll work hard to make up what I owe, please, Principal Alvin! "

Alvin frowned, looking at the man who was covered in despair, stretched out his hand and motioned him to sit at a dining table, and poured him another glass of water!

Sitting opposite John, Alvin tapped on the table with his fingers, and his heart softened. Alvin felt that a father who was willing to ask for help for his child should not be too bad anyway!

But some things still need to be asked clearly. Looking at John's terrifying face, Alvin said, "John, you can tell me about you. You know what you look like, you must be an addict. Don't lie to me! If you really love your children!"

John held the water glass with trembling hands and poured himself a large gulp of water. He seemed to be very thirsty, so he was a little anxious to drink it. He didn't even know that some clean water came out from his slashed cheek!

With a heavy sigh, John put down the water glass, thought for a moment, and said, "I used to be a stockbroker on Wall Street, I used to be very successful, I have a beautiful wife, and a pair of lovely children!

But because of a failed investment, I lost all my and my clients' money, and I went bankrupt!

The bank took everything from me, my house, my car, and my dignity!

I moved from a villa on Long Island to an apartment in Brooklyn, and as you can see, I'm addicted to drugs.

My wife left me with my two kids! Married an accountant!

I was desperate, I thought I would die next to some trash can one day!

But last month, I got a call from my wife's lawyer. My wife was in a car accident and she died! That accountant never loved my kids and they wanted me to pick up both of them.

I went and picked up my baby! I can't let them live with a man who doesn't love them at all!

But now I find that I can't take care of them at all, I don't have money, I don't have a job, I don't even have the strength to pick up my kids now! "

Saying that, John covered his face in pain, and said in pain: "I am not a qualified father, I beg you, Principal Alvin, let my children enter your school, this is the best choice I can make for them. It's gone!"

Speaking of which, John took out four rolls of dollars from his pocket, pushed them in front of Alvin, and said pleadingly: "Here is twenty thousand dollars, which should be enough for my two children's tuition for one semester, if not, I have now A job, I will try my best to pay it back!

Your school is the best civilian school I've ever heard of and I don't want my kids to be on the streets in the future!

Please, give the kids a chance! "

Alvin glanced at the twenty thousand dollars on the table. He was familiar with this method of bundling money. Only those drug gangs in New York would bundle banknotes like this.

Staring at John's red eyes, Alvin asked in a deep voice, "You told me about your situation, I sympathize with you, but where did your money come from?

If you are really doing it for your children, why don't you send them to the orphanage? Someone will take care of them there, send them to school, and you can even visit them often!

You know you're an addict after all, can you take care of them? "

John covered his face sadly and said, "I quit, believe it or not, since I found out that I couldn't even hold my little daughter up, I quit!

I love my kids! I would do anything for them! "

Alvin looked at John, he could understand John's feelings, a father can do a lot of incredible things for his children, quitting drugs, it seems not impossible!

After tapping on the table, Alvin pointed to the two bundles of dollars and said, "What's going on?"

John looked at the bundles of dollars, smiled happily, and said, "I met a rich lunatic, and with him, as long as he is willing to open his mouth, he can get 20,000 dollars. My request is to stay in New York!"

Saying that, John pointed to his face and smiled terribly, "I did, so I got $20,000!"

Alvin looked at John's weird smiling face, he didn't know what to say, he admired John, no matter what happened to him in the past! He is now devoting all his strength, just to give his children a bright future!

Maybe he once fell, but now he is awake, and the identity of his father has awakened him!

Glancing at the dollar on the table, Alvin pushed it back with his hands in John's panicked eyes.

Alvin raised his hand to stop John's impending plea and said, "To be honest, your story touched me, and the last question, why don't you want them to go to the orphanage? That would be much better than being with you!"

John stared at the dollars being pushed back, and said with some helplessness and some sadness: "I grew up in that place! I won't let my children go there!

before I die! "
