Chapter 83: You can tease the young master
The Talos family has a rich heritage and is very wealthy.

They hired dozens of bounty hunters, more than a dozen of whom were senior hunters, and the rest, except for those who came to gain experience like Jiang Yu, were intermediate hunters.

Aiden, the manor's butler, arranged them into the guest rooms of the castle behind them, where each bounty hunter had a separate room.

Jiang Yu lived next door to Zhu Qing. Before entering the room, Zhu Qing pointed at the molecular recombination device disguised as an earring on his earlobe, and Jiang Yu nodded.

She walked into the room and checked whether there were any surveillance or eavesdropping devices in the room according to Zhu Qing's previous method.

When she noticed the presence of a bug, she did not act rashly, but calmly sent a message to Zhu Qing.

【It seems Talos doesn't trust us.】

[Of course, old man Tadeusz is notoriously wary, and sometimes he doesn't even trust his own people.]

Zhu Qing sent several messages in succession.

[We should just slack off. I don't think there will be any big moves these days, so just hang out and have some fun. If you're bored, you can go tease the young master.]

Jiang Yu: “.”

Why is the senior always keen on letting her play with men?

night.

The bounty hunters hired by Tadeus arrived at the manor one after another. Jiang Yu did not go out to join in the fun, but rested in the room.

Until the bell of the manor rang, the manor that was originally brightly lit suddenly went silent. The huge territory was dim, and the sounds gradually decreased until everything returned to silence.

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows.

The Talos family still has access control?
The sound of servants and bodyguards patrolling back and forth could be heard in the corridor outside the door.

"Please rest early. The master does not like loud noises at night. Violators will be terminated and required to pay liquidated damages."

They kept repeating this sentence.

Jiang Yu complained in her heart about how many inexplicable rules Tadeus had, but the next second she felt sleepy and her eyes were drowsy.

"!"

She keenly sensed something was wrong and suddenly thought of the cup of hot milk the servant brought her after dinner. Could it be that something was added to it?!
This thing should just make them sleep more deeply, otherwise so many bounty hunters present would not have been unaware of it.

Before falling into a deep sleep, Jiang Yu vaguely heard a strange, horrifying cry, accompanied by a strong smell of gunpowder.

The next moment, she fell asleep.

*
Jiang Yu woke up the next day and did not forget what happened last night.

She sent a message to Zhu Qing on the terminal.

[Crying? I didn't hear anything.]

After a while, Zhu Qing sent another message.

[The stuff in the milk, I blame you for not telling you in advance. Not only us, but also the servants and bodyguards in the manor have to take it before bed. It's just Tadeusz's quirk.]

[This thing won't make us fall asleep, but it will make us sleep more peacefully, to prevent sleepwalkers from disturbing us in the middle of the night.]

Seeing this, Jiang Yu didn't say anything else, but just kept it in mind.

The strong smell of gunpowder was like the raging flames in war, which would never disappear. Such a strong smell was definitely not her fantasy.

There was a knock on Jiang Yu's door.

She walked over to open the door and saw the butler Aiden standing at the door, and Zhu Qing's door next to her was also open.

"Ladies Chiyan and Jingzhi, please accompany Master Logan to an auction in Evernight City today and ensure his safety."

".knew."

Butler Aiden then leaves.

Zhu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth and walked over.

"It seems that you are not interested in Logan, but Logan may not be interested in you."

She and Zhu Qing looked at each other, and she could see the regret of failing to slack off in her eyes.

Jiang Yu asked, "What's going on with the auction?"

"Well"

Zhu Qing thought for a moment and said, "The biggest auction recently should be the one held by the Bounty Hunter Guild itself."

"Perhaps there's something the Talos family needs in there."

After Zhu Qing finished speaking, he hooked his arm around her shoulders and led her downstairs.

"Don't worry, Tadeusz won't just let us two follow him. There must be others in the dark." "Yeah."

After Jiang Yu finished his meal in the restaurant downstairs, he saw many bounty hunters being assigned tasks and leaving.

"Tsk, tsk."

Zhu Qing met Yue Ye's resentful eyes before she left, and immediately realized that the task she had received might be a bit troublesome, and she couldn't help but gloat.

"It seems that our mission to accompany the young master can be considered a privilege."

"Thorns~"

Jiang Yu had just put down the knife and fork when Logan's voice sounded behind him.

She stood up.

"Young Master, are you going out?"

"I'm not in a hurry, take your time eating."

Logan looked at her with a smile.

He caught a glimpse of the residue on the corner of Jiang Yu's lips and wanted to raise his hand to wipe it away, but Jiang Yu moved away and wiped it clean himself.

"Thank you, young master."

".fine."

Logan put down his hand awkwardly.

Although Zhu Qing didn't want to be a third wheel, as a senior hunter, she was assigned as the captain of this mission.

Helplessly, she could only stand up and say, "Young Master, there is still an hour before the auction, and the vehicle has been arranged outside."

"I see."

As if he knew that they came together, Logan treated Zhu Qing quite well.

When they came outside, Logan once again invited Jiang Yu to ride in the same car with him.

Jiang Yu had rejected him twice, and if she refused again, her employer might be dissatisfied with her, so she agreed this time.

Logan immediately and happily joined her in the back seat.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Logan couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't worry, my task today is just to buy things."

"Although there are still several forces eyeing that thing, they cannot compare with Talos in terms of financial resources."

Jiang Yu: “.”

She hadn't even started asking questions yet, and the young master had already revealed himself?

Jiang Yu glanced at the young master's innocent face, staring at her eagerly, as if trying to get her response. She sighed and continued asking.

"Is that thing important?"

"Well, it is."

Hearing her voice, Logan's eyes lit up. "I heard it's a holy relic. My father and eldest brother said it's very important and told me to get it."

Holy relic?
Are they the same holy relics that the Chaos Tower had been searching for before?
Jiang Yu stopped asking.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Logan took out an auction book and handed it over.

"Thorn, do you see anything you like?"

"Thank you, young master. I don't need it."

Jiang Yu sighed in her heart, watching the car drive into the city center and stop at the door of a magnificent building. She opened the car door and got out first.

She went around to the side, maintaining her professionalism as a bodyguard, and opened the car door for Logan.

"You don't have to do this kind of thing."

Logan told her hurriedly.

Jiang Yu remained silent.

"cough."

Zhu Qing walked over and interrupted Logan who was trying to show his affection.

"Master Logan, the leader of the auction is already waiting for us at the door."
