"You're still old, boss. Apart from your tone of voice, you don't look old at all. Boss, you're so strong, maybe when I become an old woman, you'll still be alive and kicking."
"That's impossible."
Chen Huijie smiled and took over and said:
"I remember you have Pegasus bloodline, so living to a hundred years old shouldn't be a problem. But it's different for me. By the time you're a hundred, I'm afraid I'll have died of old age. Well, the gap between races is quite big, I guess."
"...Boss, don't make jokes like that. It's a terrible joke, and it might actually come true."
Bai Jin's expression froze. She vaguely felt that Chen Huijie didn't seem to be lying, but she still forced herself to laugh it off. She patted Chen Huijie's shoulder in annoyance and said:
"My expectations of you, boss, are not high. I just want you to let me work under me until I can no longer do it. I want you to sign a lifetime contract with me."
"Really? I have no reason to lie to you. Barring any unexpected events, the maximum lifespan of my race is over a hundred. As far as I know, anyone of my kind who lives past seventy and survives without illness is considered very fortunate. So, Platinum, cherish me, your good boss. There aren't many bosses as generous and considerate as me in this land."
“Hmm…ah…”
Although Chen Huijie was teasing, Bai Jin couldn't smile at all. Why had it turned out like this? For the first time, I had a job I loved; for the first time, I had a boss I recognized... These two joyful things intertwined. And these two joys would bring me countless more joys. I should have been experiencing this dreamlike happiness. But why did it turn out like this...
Damn the lifespan theory, let this Platinum Lord smash it all, smash it all!!!
"I haven't finished talking about Casimir yet, listen carefully!"
Just as Bai Jin was saying "Ola Ola Ola Ola" crazily in her mind, Chen Huijie gently tapped Bai Jin's head with a pen, drawing her attention back, and continued talking about the problem with Casimir.
Just after speaking to Platinum, Chen Huijie raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there would be other guests visiting before Zofia and Margaret came back. But it was okay. Rhodes Island's current situation was not good, and these two guys really couldn't stay in Longmen for too long.
It just so happened that there were some things that needed to be returned to the old lynx first. In his next plan, the presence of Rhodes Island could save him a lot of effort.
So, Chen Huijie winked at Bai Jin, who immediately understood and left. Chen Huijie took the bag he had asked Bai Jin to buy and placed it at his feet. After waiting for a while, he heard a knock on the door. Chen Huijie waved his hand casually, and the door opened. Standing in front of the door was...
"Hey, you evildoer, take my quiet spell!"
241 W, go see my lover
The Blood Demon Greedy Ghost at that time, and the Blood Demon Buddha at this time, Logos couldn't help rubbing his forehead as he looked at Huafalin who was sitting next to him with a quiet and peaceful face, as if emitting a soft halo behind her head.
At that moment, Logos felt that he had witnessed a very exciting Originium skills confrontation, but the opponent was a few points stronger. After being hit by a talisman, Huafalin no longer had the wolf-like and ferocious appearance.
"Believe me, on the way here, this guy didn't show any eagerness to suck blood."
Logos noticed Chen Huijie's gaze and rubbed his forehead even harder. If they were close, there would be no explanation. It was just a playful banter between friends, just a little too intense. But...
Now they are not familiar with this Mr. Chen! Strictly speaking, the relationship between them and him is still that of a prisoner and a guard. What is this, Huafalin? Huafalin, you assaulted a police officer, do you know that?
Therefore, Logos could only continue to explain:
"How about this? You said before that if we both complete your commission and do it well, not only will we be rewarded, but we'll also receive an additional reward. I think we've done a great job, so we won't take the reward. We'll just consider it an apology for our previous disrespect. How do you say that?"
"can."
Chen Huijie smiled and nodded, then tore off the last few pages from the document he had just written on his left hand, then looked at Logos and said softly:
"I already know your purpose. As for Amiya's matter, I have two solutions."
Chen Huijie waved his hand, and a bound booklet flew out from a nearby cabinet drawer. It was something he had written while writing something for Liz, but this booklet wasn't for Amiya, but for Logos.
"It contains some methods for calming the mind and focusing the spirit. Don't rush to say anything. I compiled these methods based on the witchcraft of your Banshee clan. I believe that with your talent, Mr. Logos, mastering them will not be difficult. Once you learn them and use them on Amiya, you can help her get rid of those troubles."
Logos didn't say much, just nodded and took the booklet. Although he was still young, as Chen Huijie said, he was a genius. If there was any problem with the methods in this booklet, Logos was confident that he could easily detect it.
"After using this method to isolate Amiya's emotional problems for a period of time, I believe this strange illness will disappear on its own. But from another perspective, it's also a wasted opportunity. I believe you two are well aware of Amiya's special nature. If she can rely on her own abilities to resist those strange negative emotions, I think this experience will definitely be beneficial to her future."
As he spoke, Chen Huijie took out another booklet from the drawer of a cabinet not far away. What was written on it was the meditation method he had taught Amiya. However, considering that in the previous world line, Amiya could never learn the last part of the meditation method, Chen Huijie made some modifications and deletions based on the complete version of the meditation method, and then wrote this booklet.
Although it is not a complete version, and its efficacy and functions are not destined to be that powerful, it can still be used to concentrate the mind and guard the spiritual altar. It has also become easier to learn. This is also the version used for Liz.
This time, Logos took the meditation booklet with caution. This kind of practice method needed to be treated more seriously. After leaving here, Logos would first learn it by himself... No, he would take it back to show Kal'tsit first. If there were any traps in this practice method and something unexpected happened to him, Rhodes Island would be in trouble.
"Finally, let's talk about Rhodes Island's current situation and how to deal with it."
After Chen Huijie stapled the remaining documents on the table, he handed them to Logos and said:
"Let Kal'tsit take a look at this. If she finds it useful, then when Rhodes Island comes to Longmen to seek cooperation in the future, this document will be considered as my advance payment for part of the goods. If she thinks this document is just empty talk, then when Kal'tsit goes to discuss cooperation with Governor Wei, she can just pretend I never wrote this."
"......"X2
When the document was handed over, Logos and Warfarin's gazes all shifted over. They suddenly felt that all the plans and preparations they had prepared before coming here were in vain. It was as if the other party could read their minds... or the kind of predictive mind reading, and had prepared everything they wanted this time.
So at this moment, Logos thought about it and felt that there seemed to be nothing more to say except a few polite words. After all, the other party didn't ask him for anything, so this expression of goodwill was already good enough.
As for whether this document is useful, haha, if Kal'tsit can repeat the same words that Mr. Chen said to her in the Guards' confinement area, with the main idea similar to the last time, and then Kal'tsit can veto the usability of this document, then Logos will agree. But if you can't even say it and still think that this document is useless, then you can only argue with Kal'tsit.
To be honest, regarding what Logos and Warfarin heard in the confinement area, their first reaction was whether Mr. Chen had a team behind him to help him deal with these things. Their second reaction was that if there really was such a team, and Kal'tsit replaced Mr. Chen's position, could Kal'tsit accomplish all these things in just a few days?
That's impossible. I don't have the ability.
"Why don't you punish us? Then you can put back the pieces of paper that were torn off."
At this moment, Huafalin suddenly spoke, which brought Logos back to his senses. Yes, Mr. Chen had just torn up the contents of this document! Although he hadn't had time to read the contents, it must be a very good plan since it was written by Mr. Chen.
"No need. Actually, those things I tore off weren't a big deal. I believe Dr. Kal'tsit will be fine even without those pieces of paper."
Chen Huijie smiled slightly and did not continue on this topic. Kal'tsit was just a little less capable, not incompetent. She would not be at a loss as to what to do just because of a few pieces of paper.
Since Chen Huijie said so, Logos and Huafalin couldn't continue talking. Just when Logos was trying to find a topic, he suddenly saw Chen Huijie take out a box from the bag next to him. From the packaging of the box, it can be seen that this is something that should be quite expensive.
Chen Huijie opened the long box and took out the fine wine inside. With a wave of his hand, he summoned three small wine glasses. Chen Huijie opened the bottle cap, and in an instant, the mellow aroma of wine filled the air. If those wine lovers like Huang smelled it, they would definitely come over impatiently.
"This must be your first time at Longmen."
While pouring the wine, Chen Huijie looked at Logos and Huafalin with a smile and said:
"Unfortunately, you came here just as an operation was underway, so you didn't have a chance to properly experience the scenery of Longmen. I'm also a Longmen native, and I just happened to have some free time. I'm sorry that this welcome wine is a little late, but please don't blame me. This is top-quality Zhuangyuanhong, which I asked someone to buy specially. Next time you come, I'll definitely find a good tour guide for you so you can fully appreciate the fun of Longmen."
Seeing that Chen Huijie had already picked up the wine, Logos and Huafalin didn't know what to say and could only pick it up as well. Chen Huijie smiled and took the initiative to clink glasses with Logos, then took a sip of the wine in the glass. Logos and Huafalin also took a sip.
But when they said "sip", they just touched the wine with their lips. No matter what, they had known Chen Huijie for too short a time, and Rhodes Island's current situation was so delicate, so they should be careful when they were outside.
"Okay, I think you two are in a hurry to get on with your journey, so I won't try to keep you here."
After putting down his wine glass, Chen Huijie didn't say anything else. Logos and Huafalin had the same idea, because now was not the time to sit down and play, especially since they had already prepared what they wanted in advance.
So, Logos and Huafalin got up and said goodbye and left. But before leaving, Huafalin looked at Chen Huijie pitifully, like a puppy about to be abandoned, so much so that her little fangs showing made her look a bit cute and pitiful.
".....No, please."
However, Chen Huijie's response was as tough as ever. Putting aside other things, if he really let Huafalin suck such a mouthful of blood, she would probably haunt him in the future. Taking a step back, it would be good even if this blood demon haunted him, but!
Chen Huijie could see that the Huafalin who appeared here now was not her real body, but something like a blood clone puppet. In the previous world line, Chen Huijie had also seen this thing, but it was a waste product because the side effects of this thing were quite large and it was easy to target.
For example, if Chen Huijie uses the Heart Sword technique to attack Huafalin's blood clone, the blood demon will probably feel very uncomfortable when he turns around.
Warfarin and Logos finally left in a hurry, just as they came in a hurry. At this moment, it seemed that everyone was very busy.
Chen Huijie sat on the sofa, picked up the wine glass again, and shook it gently. At this time, Bai Jin also walked down from the second floor. Looking at Chen Huijie shaking the wine glass, he whispered:
"Boss, can I have a drink with you?"
Bai Jin felt that Chen Huijie's mood seemed a little off, because the intention of bringing wine to welcome guests... was a little inappropriate. Bai Jin could see that the two Sarkaz people were wary and did not dare to drink this unfamiliar wine. Bai Jin could also see that his boss knew the concerns of the two Sarkaz people, so he took a sip and did not drink it all at once, giving the two Sarkaz people a way out.
But looking at it this way, Bai Jin felt that, considering the style of his own boss, this seemingly meaningless and somewhat abrupt link should not be arranged, unless there is some deep meaning. No, there must be some deep meaning. After all, it was the boss who came up with this idea!
"No, please put the bottle away for me. Don't let Zofia and the others see it. We're about to leave, and it's a time of melancholy and sadness. If you want to persuade me to drink, I can't refuse. I have important things to do tonight, so I can't get drunk."
Chen Huijie said this, but he drank the wine in his hand. Then he took the wine glasses of Logos and Huafalin and evaporated the wine in the glasses with his true energy, as if he was toasting two friends who were not here.
After completing this set of movements, Chen Huijie stood up and walked towards the door. Although he left in an instant, his voice still echoed in the apartment:
"When Zofia comes back, tell her I'll be back for dinner."
Bai Jin nodded, then ran upstairs with the bottle of wine. Since the boss said not to let Zofia see the bottle of wine, he had to hide it no matter what she said!
At the same time, on W's side, she had obtained a release order from the Guards Bureau. Although her previous weapons and equipment were gone, with Chen Huijie's money, it was not difficult to rearm herself.
W also had her own black market channels for the Sarkaz mercenaries. She quickly found the small base of the Sarkaz mercenaries. What was even more surprising was that members of her team were also in this small base.
"*Sarkaz swear* You finally showed up."
Seeing W's appearance, the Sarkaz mercenary with a scar on his chest was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but curse:
"You're so bold! You actually came to Longmen to cause trouble! *Sarkaz curse*! I'm ready to announce your death."
"Stop talking nonsense. Since you're here, hurry up and get the stuff I need ready. *Sarkaz curse*, I've wasted too much time here."
W also knew that there must be someone in her team who had been keeping an eye on her whereabouts, so she was able to find acquaintances here. With acquaintances, things would be much easier to solve. W left this sentence and prepared to return to Longmen. The more she thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. The look in Chen Huijie's eyes when he asked for the book seemed to show that he was quite interested in the book. If he found a reason not to return it to her, then she really would have nowhere to go!
So, have to go back and keep an eye on it!
However, at this time...
"Hey, what's up, W? You don't even want to reminisce about the past, but you're in such a hurry to go see your little lover?"
242 W You fucked him
"Uh-huh!!!"
Hearing the words of the Sarkaz mercenary, W's eyes immediately fell on her. The Sarkaz mercenary did not show any fear. Instead, he approached W with a smirk on his face, gently placed his hand on W's shoulder, and bumped W from his butt, whispering:
"Alright, that's enough. I've heard everything. You've been having a great time working as an auxiliary police officer at the Guards lately. I saw you two hanging out together, being so intimate at that snack stand. Your movements looked so flirtatious... Hey, hey, hey, get your dirty hands off me. I'm telling you, if you dare to blow up, I'll hold you and die with you."
The Sarkaz mercenary felt W's hand pressing on her waist, and her smirk suddenly couldn't be suppressed, because she felt her waist was rapidly heating up. Obviously, W's Originium skill was taking effect, turning the Originium weapon hidden at her waist into a bomb.
"You know nothing, stop talking nonsense here *Sarkaz swear*!"
W didn't really mean to blow up the Sarkaz mercenary. After the warning, he dispersed his Originium skills and prepared to return to the Dragon Gate in a bad mood. However, the Sarkaz mercenary quickly stopped W again, continued to grin evilly, and took out a photo from the big scar on his chest.
In the photo, W was smiling very naturally and relaxedly, which was a rare emotion for a Sarkaz mercenary. W was so stunned for a moment when he looked at himself in the photo. Although the person who was talking to W was not captured in the photo, it seemed self-evident who that person was.
"You...!!!"
W came to his senses and immediately wanted to destroy the photo in embarrassment. W hadn't expected to be so careless that he would be secretly photographed. Besides, *Sarkaz curse*, you can't take a secret photo of me! Why only take a photo of me? At least take a photo of me and Lao Chen together! If he doesn't return my book, I will use this photo to threaten him!
The Sarkaz mercenary wanted to do it, but he couldn't. He had been looking for W all the way, and when he finally saw W chatting and laughing with Chen Huijie, he wanted to take a few secret photos so he could threaten W later. But...
Just as the Sarkaz mercenary slowly pointed the camera lens in his hand at the seemingly ordinary young man on the street corner, an inexplicable chill suddenly spread from the end of his spine to his whole body, as if a gust of cold wind in winter penetrated through layers of protection and reached his heart.
This sense of crisis is no stranger to the Sarkaz mercenaries. As a member of the Sarkaz mercenaries, she walks the line between life and death every day, living on missions and facing danger. Her intuition has saved her life countless times in life-or-death situations and has become her most reliable ally.
At this moment, the Sarkaz mercenary's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and her pupils shrank into two cold stars in the dim light. She began to carefully observe the young man who was communicating with W through the reflection in the mirror.
He was dressed simply and had a delicate face, but his deep eyes seemed to see through people's hearts, hiding secrets. The Sarkaz mercenary's intuition told her that this young man was more than he seemed. Perhaps he was the hunter hiding in the shadows, waiting for his prey to take the bait.
Therefore, the Sarkaz mercenary's fingertips rested lightly on the shutter of the camera, but she hesitated to press it. She vaguely realized that once the shutter fell, her presence might be completely exposed.
This sense of crisis, like a dark cloud pressing down on her head, almost suffocated her. She tried to suppress her inner panic with her professional ethics, telling herself that this was just an ordinary mission, but the uneasiness in her heart grew like weeds and could not be contained.
Therefore, the Sarkaz mercenary decisively gave up the idea of taking a group photo and just took a photo of W.
In fact, what the Sarkaz mercenary felt and thought in her heart was a bit too much. What she felt was just the sword pressure left on Chen Huijie's body after he had just used the sword energy for a while. For ordinary people, this kind of residue was nothing to worry about because they could not feel that kind of thing.
But for a special industry like the Sarkaz mercenaries, this remnant will become particularly conspicuous and can be captured by them, causing them to give up some not-so-good ideas.
And if this Sarkaz mercenary really wanted to take a secret photo, Chen Huijie would still be able to notice it under the circumstances at that time, because the Sarkaz mercenary's camera could not have a silent shutter, and the sudden shutter sound on the street also triggered some not-so-good memories of Chen Huijie. He would definitely subconsciously look back to see where the noise came from.
Of course, if this Sarkaz mercenary could retreat beyond Chen Huijie's perception and then take secret photos, that would be possible, but she would have to first figure out how large the range of this perception is.
At the same time, in the Sarkaz mercenary base, W had already taken action. Even if she was the only one in the photo, she couldn't let it fall into the hands of others. But what she didn't expect was that the Sarkaz mercenary on the opposite side was faster than her, and directly used his fire source stone skills to touch the photo.
"I see."
The Sarkaz mercenary said quite naturally:
"I was just joking. How could I possibly keep something so dangerous on my hands? Don't worry, I'm not in the mood to fight you."
only....
Staring at the photo, twisted in flames and ultimately reduced to ash, W's body involuntarily stiffened for a moment, as if time had frozen in that moment. Logically, the disappearance of these photos, carrying a dark history of the past, should have been a moment of relief for W.
However, unexpectedly, the sense of relief that should have emerged was slow to arrive, and was replaced by an indescribable complex emotion.
In this brief moment, at first, W was just a little dazed, as if watching the photo turn into ashes was like witnessing a part of his past being ruthlessly erased.
But as the flames gradually died out, an inexplicable anger began to quietly grow in her heart, like a dormant volcano suddenly awakening.
