"Even if you say so..."

Guo Linglong said noncommittally: "Xingguang, I can be sure that you won't lie to me, but how can I be sure that your opinion of Dark Eden is not the result of being deceived by others?"

"Of course... um..."

Xingguang was speechless for a moment. It wasn't that she suspected she had been cheated, but right now she really couldn't come up with any evidence to convince her benefactor.

"so be it."

Guo Linglong stretched her body and yawned, "When you find evidence that proves that Dark Eden is indeed plotting something bad and planning something earth-shattering, come to me as soon as possible. Although it may not be of any use, I should be able to help you in some way. But before that... you must change your stubborn temper."

Looking at the blurry starlight, the man gave a solemn warning: "Integrity is undoubtedly a good quality, but integrity also requires flexibility. If the enemy you meet is not me, any witch who catches the hostage can pin you to the ground and rub you. You must pay more attention to this in the future."

Xingguang's heart warmed, and then she nodded obediently and said, "Well, next time I won't give others the opportunity to threaten me with hostages."

"That's good... Although I really want to keep you for dinner and listen to your stories over the past four years, this is not the right place. The tool man should be back soon, and I don't know when the cat will jump out from where, so you'd better leave quickly."

After listening to Guo Linglong's advice, Xingguang hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her fingers to control the sunlight in the room to condense into a straight line. Then, with a subtle mood, she used her fingers as a pen to leave a series of numbers composed of scorch marks on the white paper. That was also her phone number.

In the past, when she walked on the street, people always asked for her contact information. This might be the first and last time in her life that she would take the initiative to hand over her contact information to a man...

"I will not give up on finding evidence that will convince you."

Xingguang, who had not given up on trying to steal someone else's girlfriend, stared at Guo Linglong and said seriously, "Please wait for me. I swear I will definitely pull you back from that fake Eden!"

"Hey, I told you not to mind what happened four years ago."

Guo Linglong rubbed her hair in annoyance: "In theory, I should be the one who feels more sorry. After all, I am such a bad person, you must be very disappointed when you admire that person."

Xingguang did not deny it and nodded honestly.

"My ideal idol, the perfect person who pulled me out of hell and gave me a second life, turned out to be someone who would take innocent people hostage and be so despicable as to threaten a girl's chastity. This contrast really makes me feel extremely disappointed... But, what makes me even more disappointed is the fact that I am actually 'disappointed'."

After saying that, Xingguang bowed deeply to Guo Linglong again, then turned around and left in great shame. Although she wanted to stay and find out how her benefactor had been doing for the past four years, she really couldn't stay in her benefactor's home any longer!

Compared with her home, the man's home was so shabby that it was outrageous. There was an old refrigerator, a desktop computer with a noisy fan, a small squat toilet that couldn't even fit a bathtub, and a stove that was not sure if it could be considered a kitchen. These simple conditions told her, who was ignorant of her benefactor's suffering, what kind of life her benefactor had lived over the years.

The dog house she prepared for Fuduo is ten times better than the one his benefactor had.

But even though life is so difficult, there is still no benefactor who tries to use the evil talent given by God to make some money...

The starlight fled up to the sky, using the cold wind to blow away the heat on my face caused by shame, and I kept questioning myself.

What on earth was there that disappointed her about this benefactor who didn't match her imagination?

Chapter 23 Falling out

Inside the cabin, looking at Xingguang's departing figure, Guo Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, then shook her head with satisfaction.

Xingguang was not the only person he saved. After all, there were many victims in this world who had not walked far but were lucky enough to meet him. However, Xingguang was the only one who made him feel that it was really great that he could lend a helping hand and save her life that day...

I didn't expect that a rude and unsympathetic rich girl has grown into a heroic and outstanding woman. My humble contribution has really brought some good changes to the world.

"To be honest, I didn't expect..."

Just then, a teasing female voice sounded from outside the door.

"The witch or devil of Dark Eden actually colluded with the enemy and had such a secret personal relationship with the famous magical girl Xingguang in the Three Sages Alliance. If this gets out, what will the witches think? And what will the maid who regards the sages as mortal enemies think?"

boom!

The bullet witch had hardly time to react before she felt the world spinning around her. When she came to her senses, she found that she had been thrown onto the cold floor without any mercy. A huge and ferocious armored monster was sitting on her belly without any mercy, with his right hand pressing on her wrists above her head, and his dishonest left hand stroking her snow-white neck.

"When did you come in, Miss Xia?"

The man's voice was unexpectedly gentle, but the Bullet Witch's eyes were quickly filled with fear...

She had heard this voice before. The man used this gentle voice to praise her cuteness while hitting her on the head with a diamond Parkin handbag worth ten million.

In her life, too many men have praised her beauty, but Guo Linglong's praise was definitely the most impressive compliment in her life. Looking back, Xia even felt as if she had been punched in the abdomen and was still in pain.

"When Xingguang mentioned what happened four years ago, I was listening."

Listening to the beauty's trembling voice filled with fear, Guo Linglong pinched Xia's neck with satisfaction and lifted her up. Looking at the tool man who thought he had caught him, he shook his head and said, "I miscalculated. You actually got such fatal information. How should I treat you?"

can not breath……

The oxygen began to dry up, but fear surged like full throttle. Timid tears began to flow uncontrollably from her eyes. The extremely uncomfortable witch coughed and shook her head violently, indicating that she would not tell anyone anything.

"I have the talent to see through the evil in human nature."

After throwing Xia to the floor, Guo Linglong sat on her bed, ignoring the wooden bed that was groaning under the pressure of the heavy armor, and snorted coldly: "That's why it's hard for me to trust others, so do something. After all, my trust is very valuable. I can't give it to you unconditionally just because of your pretty face. Now, immediately, prove to me that you are worthy of me and let me believe that you won't talk nonsense about the information, otherwise..."

The witch raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with fear.

She couldn't see the expression under the black helmet, but the murderous intent emanating from the man was so real. It was obvious that the man was an ordinary man who sold his body to earn a week's pocket money not long ago!

I will die! If I don’t do something quickly, my neck will be broken without mercy! ! ! Although the man was just an ordinary person who had just entered the industry and had been living a simple life and received formal education, it was really absurd that I was killed in this simple rental house...

Something must be done, something must be done… something must be done…

Looking at the witch who knelt down in front of her, crawled to her feet on her knees, and rubbed her face against her cold leg armor like a cat, Guo Linglong's eyes flashed with surprise.

The information that Xia had heard about the secret relationship between him and Xingguang was indeed beyond his expectations. After all, he had miscalculated that the witch in front of him would patiently look at her enemy instead of being impulsive...but this miscalculation was so natural.

A leader who seemed to be of some formidable force actually did something to me that only a pet would do... It can be seen that this witch lady is, in some ways, very sensible.

"It's just that I'm a little mean."

The man pinched Xia's cheek and pressed his helmet against the witch's forehead, chuckling: "Well, you should really be thankful that I am a 'kind-hearted' man, otherwise, your pretty mouth would never have a chance to speak again."

Xia nodded repeatedly in fear, indicating that she would never talk nonsense again.

"I hope so."

Guo Linglong threw Xia aside, dispelled her magic armor, turned around, picked up her clothes and put them on her shoulders, and said without looking back: "The food is in the refrigerator, go get something to eat when you are hungry, I have to go out for a while, you stay here and reflect on yourself..."

After saying that, the man slammed the door and left roughly. The loud noise startled Xia's heart. She didn't slowly relax until Guo Linglong's footsteps went away. She collapsed on Guo Linglong's bed and wrapped herself in the quilt, craving for a little bit of warmth to calm her shivering body.

At this moment, she realized that the dignity, pride and reserve that she was so proud of were so fragile in the face of the great terror of death.

At this moment, she finally understood that her life was not much more noble because of her noble family background.

At this moment, she finally understood that just being alive was enough to move her.

At this moment, she finally understood that she, who thought she was a villain cadre, was actually facing the real evil...

It's so ridiculous, so humble, so... superficial!

Chapter 24: Farewell to Homeland

It’s barely been a week.

Standing on the familiar street, Guo Linglong felt as if she was in another world.

After a while, he shook his head and walked towards the bank. He took out several bank cards and inserted them into the ATM machine one by one. Then he clicked on the balance display and looked at the number that appeared on the ATM machine with anticipation.

In response to his burning expectation, it was the cold Zero...

Frowning, Guo Linglong decisively changed to the next card, which had another big zero on it.

The next one, the next one, and the next one, it’s still zero, still zero, still zero…

Guo Linglong clenched her fists, turned away with a gloomy face, and walked to the park next to the bank, feeling very upset, and sat down.

"So, a smart person like you can also get confused when you care too much?"

The Scottish Fold cat appeared out of nowhere and walked in front of Guo Linglong with elegant cat steps, looking at its contractor with amusement.

"I should have completed the task you gave me perfectly."

Guo Linglong stared at the Scottish Fold cat: "But you don't seem to be fulfilling your duties very well. Where is the 10 million you promised? Is it because I let Xingguang go?"

"Do you think we will just transfer 10 million to your account?"

The Scottish Fold shook his head and said, "That's a full 10 million in funds of unknown origin. How are you going to explain this to others?"

"A piece of cake."

Guo Linglong snorted coldly: "Just give me the money. I have plenty of ways to make sure it's used where it should be."

"Tsk, it's unnecessary for us to worry that you can't handle this money."

The Scottish Fold cat shook its head, licked its right paw, drew a black vortex in the air, and then took out a newspaper from the vortex and threw it to Guo Linglong.

"A mysterious company has arrived in the city?"

Guo Linglong looked at the big, bold headline on the newspaper, then raised her head and looked at the Scottish Fold cat in confusion.

"That's my other contractor."

The Scottish Fold cat said proudly, "I'm not looking down on you, little brother, but compared to her, you are just like the sun and a firefly. Even a ray of light from the sun can easily beat your hundreds of years of hard work."

"You mean, there's a witch behind this so-called mysterious company, and she's going to help me?"

Guo Linglong said thoughtfully.

"Not quite. She had no intention of helping you. I just told her that I needed 10 million to donate to a welfare home that was about to go bankrupt. Then she casually said to her secretary, 'Did you hear that?' and went on to do her own thing."

The Scottish Fold cat said affirmatively: "It's like a candy wholesaler casually throwing a piece of candy that it doesn't like to an ant. I guess she has forgotten about it now."

"What's her name?"

Guo Linglong closed the newspaper and asked solemnly.

"Hey, I told you she didn't take this little thing seriously."

Looking at the nonchalant Scottish Fold cat, Guo Linglong frowned: "Whether she remembers or not is her business, whether she needs to be thanked or not is my business."

"You're so stubborn."

The Scottish Fold cat muttered incomprehensibly: "Witch Wudan, the witch I signed a contract with two thousand years ago. But even if I knew her name, I couldn't express your gratitude. After all, the difference in realm is too great. She is the strongest witch in Dark Eden, and you are a rookie who has just entered the door with great potential."

"The strongest witch?"

Guo Linglong raised her eyebrows, and then said undeniably: "Anyway, I'll make a note of it. I'll stand in front of her and thank her in person some other day."

"I am very confident in you, but I am not confident about this matter."

Even though his contractor just wanted to say thank you, the Scottish Fold Cat still shook his head pessimistically and said, "Forget it, where are you going now, little brother? Why don't we find a place to talk about the next steps? There happens to be an event at Wajips Night recently. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"I'll tell you later."

Guo Linglong stood up, glanced at the park, and then looked into the distance, looking at the twinkling lights of the city, and said with a hint of nostalgia: "I will try to walk through here, remember everything, and then... leave without looking back."

"Eh?"

The Scottish Fold scratched his face in confusion and asked, "Why? Isn't this place very important to you? You are willing to sell yourself to protect this welfare home in this city."

"On the contrary, from this second on, I will never set foot in the welfare home again, not even at a distance."

Guo Linglong took out her cell phone, pulled out the phone card that stored all her contacts, and then held it tightly in her palm.

"No matter what, I am already a cadre of Dark Eden. I will definitely have enemies with all kinds of people in the future. If my enemies involve people here... I don't know how I will go crazy."

"Tsk, being too smart isn't a good thing."

Looking at the phone card that was crushed into pieces by the violent crushing, the Scottish Fold cat couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If I had just been a little dumber, I could have stayed here with a clear conscience. Well... I'm pretty free anyway, so just this once, I'll walk with you."

"What do you want with your condescending expression?"

Guo Linglong glanced at the Scottish Fold cat and said disdainfully, "If you want me to take you away, just say so."

"Do you think I'm one of those stupid dogs in the Three Sages Alliance?"

The Scottish Fold cat glanced at Guo Linglong in a very noble manner, then gracefully stretched out its claws to Guo... However, it was obvious that the man did not get her meaning, and he gave her a cold turn and walked away.

"Hmph, this is not a problem for me."

The Scottish Fold cat leaped with all its might and landed directly on Guo Linglong's shoulder. Then it lay down with a comfortable look on its face and said lazily, "Let's go, human."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Guo Linglong took a step forward and muttered, "Although I have thought about getting a cat before, it was just a thought due to economic reasons. Now..."

“Now you’re making a lot of money, right?”

The Scottish Fold cat wagged its tail proudly and ruffled the man's hair.

"Now I just want to have a dog, um, like a gentle golden retriever or something."

Guo Linglong ignored the Scottish Fold's furious protest and walked while thinking. Speaking of finances, it seemed that he should have paid the rent three days ago. Since he was leaving, he would have to pay the rent for six months in arrears... Including this month's rent, it has been seven months.

After hesitating for a moment, Guo Linglong reached out to her chest and took out the slave contract.
