Storm of Gods

Chapter 179 A Gold Coin

When Li Xin woke up in the morning, he opened his eyes and felt so comfortable that he wanted to groan. Damn, what did I do last night?
It seems I drank a lot and even had a rather erotic dream.

But the traces in the room and the woman's scent made Li Xin realize that this was not a dream. Christy had left and tidied up very well. Suddenly, he felt something was a little hard to touch.

It was a sparkly gold lira, with a note underneath that read: "Two days off."

Li Xin was stunned. Damn it!
For a moment, Li Xin felt a bit conflicted. Christie was expressing their relationship, and two days was enough time to adjust his mindset. In the passionate and romantic Heldan, this was probably nothing.

I glanced at Kim Lila again; at least that meant I had performed very well yesterday!

Li Xin carefully put Jin Lila away, thinking that if he couldn't make a living in the future, finding a rich and beautiful woman to take care of him wouldn't be a bad idea.

After tidying myself up, I went downstairs for dinner. I'll just make do at the hotel today. I feel so comfortable that I can even accept diced chicken. As soon as I went downstairs, I saw a bunch of resentful faces. Some were painting, some were performing magic tricks, and even Lao Fang, who sets up his stall very early, looked like he had just gotten up. But Daenerys was still not up.

"I thought things would finally calm down after David left, but you've gone astray too!" Dali said. "How did you meet her? Old Fang said you brought back a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged girl yesterday?"

"She's a purebred Herdan, blonde hair, beautiful and sexy, like a noble lady. This kid was pounding away all night!" Old Fang sighed after taking a sip of his old tea. "Sigh, the young man is very brave, almost as brave as I was when I was young."

"Young Master Xin, could you be a little gentler next time? You kept banging all night, keeping everyone awake," Kan said with a resentful look. "You didn't use the magic tricks I taught you to fool the girls, did you?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Ma Liu, give me three breakfasts. Mr. Kan, your little magic trick may seem simple, but you really understand women's hearts."

Mr. Kane adjusted his top hat, looking resentful. He often conjured flowers for ladies, but how come he could never find one so young and beautiful... It was always Daenerys Targaryen who was twice as good.

"Ah-Xin, I'm not teaching you magic to pick up girls. Magic is art, a refined art. We should embrace a heart that brings joy to the world and know how to give and share... Next time, could you introduce me to someone too? I can teach you even more amazing tricks, for free."

“Ah Xin, why don’t you learn to paint with me? Those ladies love portraits. Does your friend have any sisters or anything? Does she have any friends at all?” Daliwen sat down beside him.

"Do they like fortune telling? For women, good fortune is the most important thing. You know my skills. I'm best at adjusting women's destinies, helping them pray for children and marriage. I'm an expert. Beautiful women can have it for free," Old Fang said, winking.

Li Xin was both amused and exasperated. "Dalvin and Mr. Kan are one thing, but Lao Fang, you're getting on in years."

“That’s not right. A man is a boy until he dies. I’m still young, I can still cause trouble!” Old Fang patted his chest. “Besides, I’ve calculated that I can have a son when I’m eighty.”

"Didn't you say that fortune tellers can't tell their own fortunes?" Daliven thought of one of his lira.

"That was a fortune telling I did before I learned it."

Li Xin quickly finished his meal and returned to his room. He understood; he was worried about his brother being poor, but also about him driving a supercar. He didn't need to go to the Bird Society for the next couple of days. He had already informed Christie about Anthony's situation with Simmons. The Hextech Bird Report was likely to act immediately and launch a counterattack. These things couldn't be delayed; the other side might also take action, perhaps even destroying evidence.

Christie, who had returned to work at the Hextech Bird Newspaper, had returned to her usual self, assigning tasks and officially launching her counterattack. The article had been prepared long ago. Christie was already sexy and charming, but today, for some reason, perhaps because she was in high spirits, she was glowing, and her already fair skin was even more alluring, like a bewitching enchantress.

Li Xin started typing on the typewriter in his room. Since the first draft was feasible, he needed to prepare the second draft. Thinking about it, it made sense. Even the best things need time to ferment. He had to trust Duke Utopia's strength. He had taken some information about the Secret Fortress regarding the prison, and combined it with Luther's deeds. This would be more in line with the Dao Yuan Continent.

While Li Xin was busy banging on the platform, the others below were not idle either. Daliwen, Lao Fang, Mr. Kan, and others decided to go out and find work. David was fine, being a seasoned womanizer and a Herdan, they couldn't compare.

Why can't Li Xinxing and others be considered immigrants?

Especially Kan, as a great magician, being smacked by a rookie he taught, how could he tolerate that? Everyone straightened their appearance, and they all looked a little more handsome than usual.

The next day, the streets of Heldan were clean and tidy in the early morning. It wasn't that the people of Heldan were particularly well-mannered, but rather that the city's layout was well-designed, and the environment and climate were good. There had been a heavy rain the night before, and the rain had washed the city clean and refreshed. The grass was lush and green, reaching towards the sky, and the air had a refreshing scent. If you were lucky, you could even find fish on the street.

Yes, that's the kind of city Heldan is; sometimes fish even fall during heavy rains.

Newspaper boys' calls could be heard at major intersections, and their excited voices conveyed the unique atmosphere of the day.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Viscount Anthony is also a visceral demon!"

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The Nasser family has been found to have an internal organ demon. Is the council protecting the murderer?"

"Extra! Extra! The true culprit behind the 'internal organ demon' has surfaced! Is it a distortion of humanity or a decline in morality? Where is the integrity of the nobility?!"

Although catching some of the murderers calmed the public's anger, something still felt off. Everyone vaguely felt that it wasn't that simple, but no one questioned it because they believed in the Undertaker's abilities. Suddenly, Hextech Bird News revealed the truth, and things became complicated. Could the Visceral Demon that caused such a huge uproar have been nothing more than some opportunistic thugs and some low-level, secretive ability users?
"Give me one!"

I want two!

The newsboy smiled; today was destined for a good sale. The nobility in Montcareta was a special class, upholding chivalry, and being a gentleman and noble defined the class. Now, the famous Nasser family had produced an innard demon, instantly igniting everyone's good intentions.

Moreover, the previous murderers were all burned at the stake, but now there is still one alive. The funeral attendant was arrested, but the council hall did not make a judgment.

Every newspaper buyer would hear the newsboys say mysteriously, "I heard they were arrested a long time ago and are still being held by the funeral parlor. The Herdan Daily knew about it a long time ago, but didn't report it. The Hexbird Daily is the most impartial newspaper on the Dao Yuan Continent."

Some curious people wanted to ask why, but the newsboy said he didn't know, leaving it all to the newspaper buyer's imagination.
