Don't use yourself as payment for the commission!

Chapter 10 Farewell, My Cowardice! Swire comes to buy melons.

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

Aiming at the limping man in black ahead, Haqi Swire hurled her meteor hammer, using it as a meteor chain to wrap around the man's legs, causing him to scream and fall to the ground.

"You, you don't come any closer!"

As the approaching, breathy Swire gradually closed in, the black-clad henchman instinctively screamed in terror, turned around, and crawled on his hands and knees, trying to escape the tigress's pursuit.

But he only felt a sharp pain in his back before he was stomped on the ground by Swire and couldn't move.

"You dare to use vulgar language to cause me trouble? Tell me, where is your headquarters?"

"I'd rather die than tell!"

The henchman in black screamed at the top of his lungs, but Swire merely smiled dismissively, picked up her flail again, and slammed the cold, heavy hammerhead against the henchman's ear.

"I'm giving you a chance to reframe your language."

Holy crap, this is the kind of police officer who uses excessive force!

As the meteor hammer smashed into the ground, creating visible cracks, the black-clad henchman swallowed hard. His previous resolute expression, ready to die, instantly transformed into a fawning smile.

"On the other hand, although I'm a gangster, I didn't have a choice before. Now I just want to be a good person."

What a joke! A gangster's underling only makes a few dollars a month. Why risk your life against this crazy old woman with a meteor hammer?

After much painful reflection, the man in black did not hesitate to betray the organization.

After Swire moved her foot, he quickly got up from the ground, bowing and scraping as he spoke to her.

"MISSY, this way please!"

Following behind her accomplice, Swire suddenly stopped as they passed a clothing store.

She looked down at her coat and frowned slightly. Because she wanted to make a sacred break with her cowardly self, even she was a little annoyed with the coat she was wearing.

"I'm going to change my clothes. Don't move around here, or I'll break your legs!"

She glared fiercely at the accomplice who had led the way, then turned and went into the clothing store to change her clothes.

In order to bid farewell to her former self and her cowardice, Hachi Swire changed into a completely different set of jet-black clothes, transforming into a sharp and dashing woman dressed as a man.

Farewell, my cowardice!

Standing in front of the clothing store, Swire casually straightened her black suit and followed her henchman toward the slums with a mesmerizing gait.

“MISSY, I know a path leading to the slums. Officer, please take this path.”

While acting as a guide for Häyhä, the black-clad henchman, who had already decided to abandon the darkness and seek a lighter sentence, reminded her...

"Officer, shouldn't you bring more men? The Ghost Head Gang may not be a big gang, but it still has dozens of members."

"You don't need to worry about this, just shut up and lead the way!"

Fine, fine, you're the boss, you call the shots.

Now, the underlings in black can only hope that Officer Felin has real skills, otherwise they'll be in big trouble.

With the Rat King above him keeping things under control, the boss might not dare to go too far with a police officer from the security bureau, but even if a small fry like himself were drowned, probably no one would care.

Before long, the henchman in black brought Swire, who was breathing heavily, into the slums. Pointing to a fruit stand around the corner, he explained in a low voice,

"Officer, that fruit stand is the Ghost Head Gang's official storefront. Their headquarters is in the small building behind it, you..."

Before the man in black could finish speaking, Haqi Shihuai walked out from around the corner and went straight to the fruit stand, crossing her arms and calling out to the owner.

"Boss, how much are these melons per pound?"

"Ten Dragon Gate coins per catty."

The seemingly fierce-looking, burly ghost boss casually replied, showing no enthusiasm for doing business whatsoever.

"*Longmen swear words*, are you made of gold in your melon rind or gold in your melon seeds?"

"Imported watermelons from Dongguo, this is the price, take it or leave it!"

The burly man with the horned horn frowned as he looked at the expensively dressed young woman, noticing that she was definitely not a local resident of the slums.

"Okay, give me one."

Although something felt off, the burly man with the horned horn didn't think too much of it. He casually picked up a watermelon from the counter and prepared to weigh it, but unexpectedly, Swire suddenly asked again, "..."

"Boss, are you sure this melon is ripe?"

"I run a fruit stand, would I sell you raw melons?"

As if ignoring the burly man with the horned ghost's reply, Huffy Swire repeated himself.

"I'm asking you, is this melon guaranteed to be ripe?"

"Damn, you're deliberately picking a fight, aren't you?!"

Provoked by Swire's breath, the burly man with the horned horn immediately lost his temper and stood up abruptly.

"I'm just picking a fight, what are you going to do about it?"

Swire kicked over the fruit stand, seemingly oblivious to the horned giant's rage.

I'm going to throw some ashes in your eyes!

After saying that, Haqi Shihuai picked up her meteor hammer and swung it out, knocking the burly man with horns who was two heads taller than her to his knees, forcing him to shout for help towards the small building behind him.

"Brothers, someone's here to cause trouble!"

"Who the hell dares to mess with our Ghost Head Gang's territory!"

A burly, demon-headed man with exceptionally thick horns charged out menacingly with a group of henchmen.

Upon hearing his underling's cry for help, Ghost Head Boss assumed that a rival gang had come knocking on his door. However, to his surprise, the enemy in front of him turned out to be just a young woman named Feline who looked to be around twenty years old.

Although his black suit and meteor hammer made him look intimidating, he was, after all, just one person.

The leader of the Ghost Head gang sensed something was wrong, so he didn't immediately order his underlings to take action.

Unexpectedly, Swire struck first, kicking the fruit stand owner in front of her flying to the feet of the Ghost Horn Boss, shouting:

"We're going to smash your place!"

"Holy crap, that's insane!"

After Huffy Swire shouted like that, Ghost Head Boss had no choice but to take action. He immediately called on his underlings to swarm forward and teach the film girl a lesson.

But instead of responding, Huffy Swire sneered and clapped his hands.

A dozen or so burly men in suits rushed out from all directions, lined up neatly, and shouted in unison.

"Miss!"

"Smash this store!"

With a flick of her jade-like hand, Shi Huaiya pointed, and more than a dozen family bodyguards immediately carried out their young lady's orders, engaging in a fierce battle with these burly, horned men with bare upper bodies.

"Oh! ~YES, MISSY♂"

The scene that followed was filled with a philosophical atmosphere.

"Hmph hmph hmph, ahhhhh!"

"Bang! Bang!" (A loud sound of bodies colliding)

“oh~FA♂Q”

"Yi Jianlian!"

"Rip" (sound of a security guard's jacket being torn)

"Ahhh!"

"Huff... Huff..." (Intense panting)

"Oh, that's good!"

“Ah♂!”

"Ah♂, the peerless♂ giant cucumber!"

In the end, the well-trained professional bodyguards prevailed. After the battle, a dozen burly men with torn suits stood next to the Ghost Head Gang members lying on the ground, striking various poses and showing off their strong and powerful bodies.

............

Does anyone actually watch this? I'm really worried because no one's giving feedback.

Chapter 11 Can you hear Swire's lament?

In the slums of Longmen, there is a mouse-shaped candy shop.

"Here, take your candy, don't drop it."

The Zalak girl with light purple hair handed a lollipop to a little girl. Watching her happily skip and hold her mother's hand as she walked out of the candy store, even Lin Yuxia, who was usually indifferent, couldn't help but smile.

This heartwarming scene makes even the corpse feel warm.

It was only then that Lin Yuxia understood why her father ran such a small shop—after briefly escaping the shady gray world, he always needed a little warmth to comfort himself.

Another customer walked into the candy store, but instead of choosing any candy, he quickly walked to Lin Yuxia's side and whispered something in her ear.

"Miss, something happened."

"explain."

The candy clerk paused slightly as she sorted through the candies, then instantly returned to the demeanor expected of Lin Yuxia.

Lin, who will eventually inherit the title of "Rat King".

"Miss Swire, accompanied by eighteen family bodyguards, smashed up the Ghost Head Gang's headquarters... in broad daylight, in full view of everyone."

"what?"

Miss Mouse frowned slightly, her usually indifferent face showing a look of incomprehension.

"What did the Ghost Head Gang do to make Swire act so outrageously?"

"According to our informant, it seems that members of the Ghost Head Gang accidentally dragged Miss Swire into the incident while provoking Penguin Logistics."

"That's all?"

Lin Yuxia was even more puzzled.

She knew Swire well; this young lady of the merchant guild was by no means delicate, so why would she bring her family bodyguards to cause a scene in the slums for such a trivial matter?

While Lin Yuxia was still puzzled, the informant added another sentence.

“Miss Swire also stormed the headquarters of three gangs... They've been behaving themselves lately.”

"I see."

It's confirmed, Swire really has gone mad.

Lin Yuxia let out a long breath, put her hands behind her back, took off her light pink shop assistant apron, and walked out of the candy store with a cold expression.

The city has its rules, and the slums have theirs. Swire has seriously crossed the line this time.

Her father couldn't intervene over such a small matter, but she had to get an explanation.

.................

"So, Swire was split in two by your spell. The one beside us is the kind and gentle side, while the one causing trouble in the slums is the evil and wicked side?"

After hearing Bai Xun's story, Chen Huijie looked quite surprised.

When Chen Huijie's gaze fell on the soft and cuddly Swire again, the little cat mustered up her courage, raised her tiny paws in front of her chest, and gently waved them at Chen Huijie, as if to say something softly.

"I'm a good girl, really..."

Chen Huijie was completely dumbfounded by her soft, sweet, and adorable appearance.

I believe it. What Bai Xun said is absolutely true. Swire, that char siu cat, could never make such a pure and cute appearance in her entire life!

Such amazing Originium Arts are truly unprecedented, but the facts are right there, and Chen Huijie can only assume that this is the mysterious Sarkaz power that Bai Xun brought from Kazdel.

"Hakimi, you're a cute Hakimi who doesn't breathe!"

Such an exceptionally beautiful cat, who in the world could resist petting it, resist loving it!
