Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 116 Gin: You pretentious guy, let me vent my frustration.
"Where's my gold?!"

Gin stared at the empty vault, his face contorted with rage, a chill running through him.

The gold is gone, which is bad news, but he has some good news.

That means the base only stores a small portion of the gold; the rest is stored elsewhere.

If he stored all his gold here, he'd probably be furious.

Even so, his heart was still bleeding.

Recently, I've been changing bases quite frequently, and all the bases have been destroyed, making them unsellable for money. In addition, Gastly stole some of my resources, which has put a lot of pressure on my finances.

Now the vault has been robbed again, and the funds are in dire need of repairs.

And now he really wants to kill someone to vent his anger.

The man in black standing nearby trembled slightly upon sensing the killing intent emanating from Gin, and hurriedly said, "Lord Gin, there's a line of writing left on the wall of the vault."

Gin's eyes narrowed as he looked at the man in black: "A line of text?"

"Yes, Lord Gin, it's over here."

The man in black quickly led Gin to the place where the inscription was carved.

When Gin saw the words on the vault wall, his expression turned even more grim.

[Ghosts was here! Thank you for your gold, Gin!]

"asshole!"

Gin was so angry that he cursed out loud. His underlings, upon hearing this, shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

He just wanted to be invisible, to avoid being noticed by his boss, Gin.

In that case, he should be able to live a few more minutes.

After all, he was the person in charge of overseeing the vault.

Now that the vault has been robbed, he, as the person in charge, is undoubtedly responsible, and the only outcome awaiting him is death.

"When did you discover the problem?" Gin took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and turned to ask.

Upon hearing this, the man in black glanced at his watch and immediately replied, "It was forty-five minutes ago."

"I called you immediately after I spotted a figure flashing past the vault."

Upon hearing this, Gin's fists clenched so tightly they turned white.

He knew that Gastly had done this on purpose, and specifically for him, as if it were a silent mockery.

Damn guy.

Gin's murderous intent intensified, but instead of drawing his pistol and shooting his subordinate, he spared him.

"Go down and receive your punishment yourself."

"what"

The man in black was stunned for a moment, as if he had misheard.

To be punished?

Isn't that a death sentence?
Gin glanced at him, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Do you need me to repeat myself?"

At this moment, the man in black came to his senses and quickly bowed: "Yes, Lord Gin, I will go to receive the punishment immediately."

After saying that, he bowed and left the vault, only straightening up after Gin was out of sight.

He let out a long sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead, still shaken: "I really escaped with my life."

"But who is this Gastly? How could it possibly make Lord Gin let me go?"

He was unaware of Gastly's existence, and neither were most of the people in the base.

After all, Gin, Vermouth, Korn, Chianti, and Vodka all suffered greatly at the hands of Gastly, and such a dark history was naturally not something they could tell these little Karami.

It's perfectly normal that they don't know.

"Forget it, this kind of thing is not something someone of my level should know. Knowing too much is actually not a good thing."

The man in black shook his head, dismissing the idea, and then left to receive his punishment.

After his subordinate left, Gin stood in the vault, staring at the writing on the wall, lost in thought.

"How did this guy even get in? Was he just here to mock me?"

Gin had too many questions in his heart, but no one could answer them for him.

Unless Gastly appears in front of him.

But if Gastly actually appeared in front of him, he would turn around and leave without saying a word.

Don't ask, the answer is he can't beat it, and he hasn't figured out a way to deal with Gastly either.

There was very little useful information. Even after asking Vermouth, we didn't get any useful information.

But one thing is certain: this guy doesn't seem to actually kill anyone.

Otherwise, they might not have all come back alive last time.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this anymore."

Gin put his hands in his pockets, turned and left the vault.

He didn't return to his own office, but went to Sherry's office instead.

In this base, the most important thing is not the gold in the vault, but the woman Shirley.

Shirley's value is above that of gold, but her recent performance has caused her net worth to drop considerably, though her remaining value is still above that of gold.

If Shirley continues to submit no new research findings, then her fate is already predictable.

Gin preferred to use Sherry as bait rather than kill her directly.

And this fish is Shuichi Akai.

However, Shuichi Akai has always stayed in the United States, making it difficult for them to make a move. Even if they use Sherry or Akemi Miyano as bait, they might not be able to catch him.

But it's not a big problem; it's just making use of waste.

If you win, you make a fortune; if you lose, you don't lose anything.

dong dong dong.
At that moment, Gin arrived at Sherry's office and knocked on the door.

Soon, a cold voice came from inside the room.

"Enter."

After hearing Sherry's voice, Gin opened the door and went in, quite politely.

The moment you step inside, a series of crackling sounds begin to fill the air.

Sherry was typing away on the keyboard, constantly adding and modifying information, quite focused, without even glancing at Gin.

Seeing this, Gin was quite satisfied. Knowing to voluntarily work overtime was a good thing; it proved she sensed the crisis.

A crisis creates motivation, and this way, they can squeeze out as much of Sherry's remaining value as possible before killing her.

"Is there something you need, Gin?"

Shirley stared intently at the computer screen, her hands flying across the keyboard.

Upon hearing this, Gin stood aside, noticing the Gastly keychain on the table, but didn't pay it any mind.

A mere Gastly charm hasn't crossed his line yet.

"Did you know Gastly came today?" Gin asked.

Upon hearing this, Sherry paused in her typing, turned to look at Gin, and gave him a mocking look.

"Gastly? Is that the monster that beat you all to a pulp?"

“If it was him, I didn’t know he had been here. And since I came back, I’ve only been in my room and here, so I don’t know what’s going on outside.”

When Gastly asked her where the organization's vault was, she knew that Gin would definitely ask her about it when he returned.

After all, she's the one who most wants to see the organization suffer, and Gin might suspect that she's colluding with Gastly.

That's why she had already figured out a way to deal with Gin.

That means doing what you're supposed to do, speaking as you're supposed to speak, and just using your sharp tongue to your advantage.

If she didn't speak with her usual sharp tongue, Gin would probably suspect her!
Just as she expected, Gin's expression didn't change at all after hearing these taunts; in fact, he seemed quite relieved.

Shirley was as sharp-tongued as ever, and her sarcasm was undisguised, coupled with her natural expression.
Gin believes that Sherry is not involved with Gastly.

At this moment, Shirley spoke again, her face full of contempt, and she started to act arrogantly.

"You came back in such a hurry, is it because Gastly came to this base and you're scared, so you're packing your things and moving again?"

She wasn't afraid that Gastly wouldn't be able to find her after Gin changed bases, because Gastly was invincible, a fact she knew all too well.

So once she had no more reservations, she could go all out with her flirtatious behavior, which was what she always did.

Furthermore, she knew exactly where Gin's bottom line lay; mere flattery wouldn't make Gin kill her.

Gin isn't like Vermouth, that petty woman.

"Hmph." Gin snorted coldly, a terrifying smile appearing on his face. The temperature in the room dropped several degrees, and Sherry couldn't help but shiver.

But this is exactly the effect she wants!

"Shirley, watch your mouth, or you know what will happen."

Faced with Gin's threat, Sherry's expression instantly turned grim: "I understand."

"If there's nothing else, please leave."

Arrogant at first, then obsequious – that's Sulli's daily routine.

Upon hearing this, Gin gave Sherry a deep look, said nothing more, turned and left, closing the door behind him.

After Gin left, Sherry breathed a sigh of relief.

Looks like I've fooled Gin.

I'm just not sure if I should move again.

Well, these are things I can't decide. Let's deal with the problem at hand first.

If the data is correct, the second-generation APTX-4869 should be able to be produced, but the effectiveness will require experimentation.

However, the organization must not know that I have developed the second generation.

Then, another series of crackling sounds came from inside the office.

After leaving Sherry's office, Gin went straight to the base's monitoring room, where he had all the surveillance footage retrieved and personally reviewed it.

But the results of the inspection were as he had expected; he couldn't capture any image of Gastly at all.

He was certain that Gastly revealed itself to mock him.

"Gastly, what a troublesome fellow. But I will definitely find a way to deal with you, to make your power work for me, and to make you mine!"

Gastly's provocation didn't anger Gin; instead, it seemed like a woman trying to seduce him, constantly striking seductive poses.

This gave him an idea: he absolutely had to get Gastly and use it for his own purposes!
So this time he's not planning to move again.

The previous two moves had already significantly reduced their funds, and with the additional funds for Shirley's research, the landlord family really had no surplus.

Besides, Gastly came once, and it might come back a second time.

So he decided to modify the base to see if he could turn it into a cage for Gastly.

Then, Gin took out his phone and made a call.

Agave

The next day.

The entrance to Teitan Elementary School.

Today, Kitahara Natsuhiro didn't go to the cafeteria, but arrived at school early.

Today is his duty day, so he needs to stand guard at the school gate to protect the students' safety.

He looked at the energetic little ones in front of him and couldn't help but yawn.

He didn't sleep at all last night, spending the whole night wandering around Beika Town, and also took a trip to the neighboring Beika Town to see Akiko, who was fast asleep.

By the time he finished all that, it was already morning. He then rushed to school without stopping, feeling quite tired.

Fortunately, his hard work last night was not in vain. He devoured a lot of souls and has already leveled up one and a half levels, from level four to level five.

Seven or eight people died in one night. This is typical Tokyo!

"Good morning, Kitahara-sensei."

At that moment, a troublesome person appeared before him.
