The reason they were able to come in was the excuse of "redistribution of benefits".
To be on the safe side, Lucky Finch had to at least come up with a proposal that looked decent.
Xu Mu knew very little about this and of course couldn't help.
He nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
"No, no... It's my honor to serve you."
Captain Finch was very polite.
He pointed out the window and continued, "The Upper City and Inner City of Sea Mist Demon King's City are very safe, with plenty of shops and entertainment. The Outer City is a bit chaotic, with many unsightly people, so it's best not to go there."
Xu Mu nodded: "I understand."
"Then I won't bother you three anymore."
Finch nodded and went back to his room.
"Aha--"
On the other side, the Rose Demon King yawned, turned around and said, "Lord Invincible, Lord Invincible, I'm sleepy."
After running around for a day and a night, Xu Mu felt a little tired.
He said, "Let's take a break first, Black Skirt, take Little Rose to take a bath."
The Rose Demon King nudged Xu Mu and said, "I want Lord Wudi to help me wash!"
"no!"
"Why, why?"
"I said no and it means no. Go take a shower with the black dress. Hurry up."
"Um--"
The Demon King looked reluctant, but he still followed the woman in the black skirt and left obediently.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the gate: "Master Finch! Master Finch!"
Who is it?
Xu Mu leaned over to the window and saw that an obese middle-aged man in a purple brocade robe was standing at the door with a group of people, shouting at the guesthouse.
Lucky Finch also heard the voice. He walked over to Xu Mu and said, "Master Xu, this is the 'higher human' I told you about before. The one in the front wearing purple is called 'Sea Mist Dafu', the president of the Demon King City Human Association."
"is it?"
Xu Muduo took a look and said with a smile, "They are well-informed. They came to our door as soon as we arrived."
Lucky Finch scoffed with disdain, "This Sea Mist Tycoon was once a wealthy tycoon in the Free City, and apparently held an official position. Two years ago, his murder scheme was exposed, and he fled to the Demon King's Castle. Of all the 'higher humans' I've come across, he's definitely one of the most shameless!"
"Shameless?" Xu Mu asked, "How shameless?"
Finch shook his head repeatedly, his expression filled with disgust. "He desperately wants our Central Land to be crushed! The last time I came, he stuffed a thousand gold coins into my pocket, calling it a 'small greeting gift,' asking me to 'put in a few good words for the Lord!' He even said there would be more gifts after the Central Land was destroyed... Alas, this beast's ugliness truly chills my heart!"
what……
Theoretically speaking, as a person who has been expelled from human society, Xu Mu certainly cannot accept the idea of "being rich in sea fog", but it is still easy to understand.
and.
Are you a good lucky Finch?
what?
Now you keep calling it ugly and your face is full of disgust. What were you doing before?
When others were put on the "human nail" by Lord Xiao, Xu Mu would think that Lord Xiao was very cruel.
But this person in front of me...
I really can't sympathize with it. I even think that this is a kind of salvation. The cold-blooded owl rarely does a good thing.
Xu Mu said, "Let's go and meet them. According to you, these people will be of great help in infiltrating the Demon King's Palace."
"Yes, yes. Sir Xu, this way please."
Finch bent over and led the way.
The guesthouse is not very big, and the distance from the bedroom to the door is not long.
In this short distance, Finch thought for a long time.
He was currently under the control of the "Human Nail." Lord Xiao's mind control skills were extremely advanced, and their most obvious characteristic could be summed up in four words: "Absolute Submission."
In Lucky Finch's understanding, things are like this -
He is not controlled by anyone.
Instead, he took the initiative to "turn from darkness to light" and consciously "pledged allegiance to the Rose Demon King". Therefore, the logic behind all his current actions is based on the identity of "an employee who urgently needs to be recognized by the new boss."
no doubt.
This is not simple.
Therefore, Finch was particularly enthusiastic and cautious.
Now, here's your chance!
There is a task on his head right now. As long as he helps Lord Xu achieve his goal, he may be able to gain the collective recognition of the new boss and thus consolidate his position.
"call--"
Lucky Finch breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked ahead, thinking secretly, "No matter what, I absolutely cannot mess up this first mission! If I can't make a contribution in this matter, then if I want to gain the recognition of Master Xu, Master Qiangwei, and Master Xiao, it will take even longer and require even greater effort!"
and so……
No room for error!
While I was thinking, the door was already in front of me.
……
……
As soon as Xu Mu and Finch walked out of the door, Haiwu Dafu immediately brought people to greet them.
The middle-aged man's face was filled with an eager smile. He nodded and said, "Master Finch, Master Finch! Ah! It really feels like a long time since we last met! How have you been these past few days? Things must be going well out there!"
Facing the rich man of the sea fog, Finch changed his attitude.
He raised his chin slightly, a smile that showed both superiority and disdain on the corner of his mouth, and said, "President Dafu, I didn't realize you're quite cultured. You speak so elegantly."
"Where, where."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Haiwu Dafu looked at Xu Mu, who looked very friendly standing aside, and asked, "Master Finch, who is this brother?"
Finch's expression changed, and suddenly he slapped Haiwu Dafu in the face!
"!"
"!"
All of a sudden, the atmosphere on the scene took a sharp turn for the worse.
Haiwu Dafu looked shocked, and the people behind him looked confused. They looked at each other, but no one spoke, let alone dared to shout.
Finch sneered and said, "Brother? Haiwu Dafu, do you know who this person is? Could he be your brother?"
Chapter 198 #195 Smart as a whim!
"Ouch... Ouch, I said something wrong!"
Although his face was burning, Haiwu Dafu quickly smiled.
He bent even lower and said, "It was me—I didn't recognize the goddess mountain! I accidentally offended this gentleman... Damn it! Damn it!"
Finch's sudden move was beyond Xu Mu's expectations.
After all, this person has always been very polite and cautious in front of him. It turns out that he has such a violent and arrogant side to his character. It is really eye-opening.
Fortunately, Xu Mu will perform.
He smiled kindly, raised his hand and said, "Finch, President Dafu didn't mean it. He doesn't know me, so how would he know who I am? It was inappropriate for you to slap him suddenly. Give him an apology."
"..."
what's the situation?
Lord Xu—why is that the reaction?
Finch's brain worked at high speed and he immediately understood!
He thought to himself, "So that's how it is! He's worthy of being called Lord Xu! Lord Xu said this, not to help Haiwu Dafu, but to show his favor and establish his authority! Speaking up on Haiwu Dafu's behalf is a favor; and slapping me in the face is an assertion of authority—if he can even hit me, then what is Haiwu Dafu?"
but--
Why did Xu Mu want to hit Finch?
Lucky Finch smiled to himself and continued to think, "That depends on my cleverness. As a qualified subordinate, I must understand my superior's intentions; everything a subordinate does must be based on his superior's goals! Lord Xu wants to establish his authority by beating me, but he lacks a suitable reason to do so. So this reason—"
I will create it myself!
Finch's face showed great reluctance. He pouted and said, "Master Xu! This kind of person is shameless. It's his blessing that I beat him! Why should I apologize?"
As he spoke, he adjusted the angle of his face to make it easier for Xu Mu to attack.
"?"
Finch's small action, of course, fell into Xu Mu's eyes.
His intention was also discovered by Xu Mu.
Xu Mu did have the idea of showing kindness. He spoke earlier because he wanted Haiwu Dafu to understand one thing: Lucky Finch's words don't count in this place, and my, Xu Mu's, words are serious.
but--
Xu Mu had no intention of establishing his authority.
He would not use such ugly methods as "beating subordinates" to establish his prestige, which is very inconsistent with his style.
however……
Now that Finch had said this, and had moved his face closer, if he didn't slap him, it would have had a huge impact!
Hai Wu is very rich and will think that Xu Mu is just a facade!
Otherwise, how could Lucky Finch dare to contradict him in person?
same moment.
Finch found that the expected slap did not come!
He trembled all over, and there was a bit of panic in his eyes!
He thought again: "Oh no! Oh no! Finch, oh Finch, you are too self-righteous! Lord Xu is of noble status, but noble status does not mean he has a perverse personality. Can he still be called a 'benevolent monarch' if he establishes his authority by corporal punishment of a subordinate who has done nothing wrong? Lord Xu does not have to resort to such a shallow method as slapping his subordinates to establish his authority! You have lifted a rock and shot yourself in the foot!"
A fatal mistake has been made.
But, there is still room for recovery!
Lucky Finch took a deep breath, gathered a surge of magic power from within his body, and then—attacked himself.
"puff!"
Finch spat out a mouthful of blood, took three steps back and fell to his knees!
Control your magic power and attack your body.
How much courage and determination does it take to do this?
What's even more terrifying is that Finch overwhelmed his fear and subverted his instincts. He actively suppressed all defenses and caused real damage to himself!
"..."
Xu Mu's face was filled with horror. He looked at Finch with his mouth open and an incredible look in his eyes.
He could clearly see Finch's weakness, and he regretted not taking action more decisively...
I was planning to give Finch some face, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. Really...
