Chapter 128 Commission and Conditions
Chapter 128 Entrustment and Conditions
This person smiled very elegantly, his eyes were full of smiles, such expression, such posture, and such manner... suddenly made Chen Xiao couldn't help but think of someone - the service club's spade j, Lei Hu!
The same elegant, the same handsome appearance... the same, the same pretentious tone.
He didn't say anything, but just looked at the other party. Gonggong next to him raised his eyebrows. Looking at the visitor, he looked a little unhesitant: "White gloves?"
"White gloves?" Chen Xiao looked at Gonggong.
Gonggong looked at this guy coldly without looking back, but he explained to Chen Xiao on purpose: "The guys in the club... Humph, there are likable people and some unpleasant guys in every organization... There is no doubt that for most people, this gentleman belongs to the latter. As for white gloves, it is his code name... it is equivalent to the committee of the service club. However, the club is not called the committee, but the 'judgment group', which is composed of eight senior members. As members of the judgment group, they are all coded with gloves of various colors."
White Gloves seemed to have no concern about Gonggong's details in front of him. He even gently pulled out the white handkerchief from his pocket and covered the corner of his mouth and smiled.
His smile was very confusing. He seemed not very old, about thirty years old, a young man in his thirties, fair, clean and handsome. When he smiled, there was even a hint of shyness in his eyes, as if he was a well-educated family. He covered his mouth and looked at Gonggong. His eyes were full of smiles: "Konggong, after so many years, it seems that you still know the club very well."
As he said that, he sighed intentionally: "Okay, now isn't the time to reminisce about the past... can you invite me in? I heard that the content of your commission here seems to be not strict with the customer requirements. I come from the club or the service club. For you, they are all door-to-door customers, right?"
Gonggong didn't say anything, but looked at Chen Xiao with inquiring eyes. The meaning was very clear: You are the agent, you have the final say here.
Chen Xiao pondered slightly, nodded, and made way out: "Please come in."
When several people walked into the coffee shop, Lao Tian Zhurong and Xu Ershao and others inside had put away the mahjong table.
Seeing the white gloves coming in, Lao Tian and Zhu Rong immediately looked at each other quickly, and then both of them frowned at the same time.
"Xiao Xu, you go back first." Lao Tian waved his hand.
Xu Ershao was an extremely smart person and nodded immediately: "Okay!" He stood up and left without hesitation. When he walked past Chen Xiao, he whispered: "Be careful, brother!"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly.
Bai Glove looked at Lao Tian, then looked at Zhu Rong. She sat down slowly on a sofa: "It seems that they are all old friends. How many of you have been doing well over the years?"
Lao Tian shrugged: "It's okay, I'll just eat and wait for death."
Zhu Rong rolled his eyes directly.
"So, after the greetings, can you start to discuss business?" White Gloves still wiped the corner of her mouth with the white handkerchief, but looked at the champagne and the fat man: "Can you leave for the idle people first?"
Champagne immediately raised her chest and smiled proudly: "I am the waitress here, not a mess."
White Glove nodded, frowned and looked at the fat man.
"I...I...I am the cook!" The fat man also imitated the appearance of champagne and straightened his chest. However, the action of thrusting his chest was a unique charm for a beautiful girl like champagne, but he, as a fat man, was a little clumsy.
White Gloves smiled, then he reached into the top floor and slowly took out a thin envelope.
“Here is information and commissioned content.”
The envelope was slowly pushed to the table by him. The three old guys looked at Chen Xiao at the same time, which meant: Look.
Chen Xiao walked to the opposite side of the white gloves and sat down. He looked very calm and opened the envelope.
There is a photo inside, which shows a girl who looks about seventeen years old... but it is a photo of her side face, and her appearance is not very clear. Her round and soft face contours, and her long black shawl hair... From this photo of her side face, she looks quite beautiful.
But... Chen Xiao's first reaction did not have much good impression in his heart.
Because, the girl in the photo was wearing a kimono and gently climbing on a cherry tree branch with one hand...
Japanese?
Although Chen Xiao is not an angry young man, he naturally doesn’t have much favorable feelings for Japan.
"Simply put, this is a protection task. The people in the photo are targets that need protection. Miss Chiba Sato, seventeen years old. She has encountered some trouble recently, and her safety has a little problem, so..."
Chen Xiao frowned: "Mr. White Gloves, since you are a senior executive in the club, if you want to protect someone, I believe that with your power, you can mobilize many advanced superpowers at any time! Is it necessary to come to us to entrust?"
Bai Glove smiled: "According to my understanding, the commissioned work here does not seem to have any provision to ask customers for such questions, right?"
Chen Xiao smiled faintly: "That was the past. Here we are the agents who have the right to make some adjustments at any time. The agents in the past were Mr. Edward, but now they are me! I have the right to make some adjustments at any time according to the situation... You also know that we are a small business, independent and free, and there is no need to put too many rules and regulations on ourselves to limit ourselves."
"Then... Is it necessary to answer?" Bai Glove nodded, and he looked at Chen Xiao's eyes and looked serious: "Because... like the service club... the inside of the club is not a solid piece of solid! According to some information I have received, I have reason to suspect that the hidden dangers that threaten Miss Chiba Sato's safety may be from other different factions within the club. Therefore, I cannot mobilize people from within, and I cannot take this risk."
When he said these words, he looked at Chen Xiao seriously, as if he didn't even look at Lao Tian and others next to him, and seemed to really treat Chen Xiao as the person who was talking here.
"So, the characters in this photo are very important to your club?" Chen Xiao sneered.
"Yes, it's very important." Bai Glove nodded without hesitation: "I can't continue to say specific things."
"But, for you, as a senior executive of the club, encountered difficulties, he came to ask for help from several people from service clubs. This approach will inevitably not arouse my suspicion."
"You are wrong." Bai Glove suddenly laughed: "This time my commission has another special request, which is... the content of the commission does not require the other three old friends to intervene! But... you!"
He stared into Chen Xiao's eyes: "I want you to take action yourself, not them! You can only do this by yourself."
Chen Xiao was a little surprised: "Why?"
In terms of strength, although Chen Xiao's strength has improved by leaps and bounds recently, he is still far behind the three old guys.
Is there any conspiracy to abandon the strong and seek the weak?
"This is a very difficult reason." Bai Glove waved his hand, and the action seemed to drive away mosquitoes: "This lady, her personality is a bit strange and weird. The one she hates most in her life is the psychics. She hates any psychics, especially my subordinates. The most embarrassing thing is that she knows us very well. If the people I sent out, she will probably be identified by her within two days. So, I have to find a new face. Unfortunately, Lao Tian and Gonggong are so famous in this circle. If they go to the local dialect, they will be able to see their identity by this smart lady in less than half a day. As for you... Chen Xiao, you are still a newcomer. As long as you disguise properly, she will leave you."
"for……"
"Because of this lady, she has seen our database, she seems to remember most of the famous and surnamed supernatural masters in the world." Bai Glove smiled bitterly.
The expressions of Lao Tian and others became strange.
Database! For any superpower organization, although the database is not a top-level secret, it will not be easily read by others. Not to mention... Remember?
"I have a request." Chen Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked at Lao Tian and the other three behind: "Since this task, the guest asked me to complete it in person. So, can I talk to the guest alone?"
Lao Tian’s face was a little weird, but he hesitated for a moment and nodded: “Okay!”
As he said that, he grabbed Zhu Rong, who was still trying to say something, and walked out the door with great strides. Gonggong walked at the end, nodded at Chen Xiao, threw a "careful" look, and quickly left.
"Talk about the remuneration issue." Chen Xiao suddenly relaxed, a leisurely smile appeared on his face, and then he actually hugged his hands behind his head and leaned against the sofa.
"Ten million dollars." Bai Glove smiled faintly: "Of course, we all know that money is meaningless to people like us, but I can make a promise to you on behalf of the club: within the scope of my authority, the club owe you a favor, and at any time and place, you can ask the club to do something for you, as long as things do not exceed my authority, no matter what, we will do it for you!"
After pausing, Bai Glove looked at Chen Xiao and smiled: "I think you should understand how valuable and meaningful such a promise, a promise from the world's second largest superpower organization, has! And... I hope you understand, Chen Xiao, although I know that you personally have a disgust with the club organization, as an ancient organization with a long history, the club pays great attention to credibility! Once the promise is made, it will never change. Even if you become our enemy in the future, this promise will still be effective!"
"I can believe this." Chen Xiao refused to comment: "But I have a few other conditions."
The white gloves seemed not surprised: "Tell me!"
"Answer a few questions!" Chen Xiao looked a little serious: "First, two days ago, someone from the club came to me and tried to force me back with force..."
"I know, I personally approved this order." Bai Glove's unconcealed answer surprised Chen Xiao.
Bai Glove said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, we will not deny this kind of thing. And... one thing goes one by one! Since you have entered this circle, you should know more about the customs in this circle. The so-called hostility and allies change at any time with the situation! The enemies who were killed by life and death in the previous moment will suddenly become close comrades or partnerships as the situation changes. For our circle, we are already used to it. As for the arrest orders for you, I think you should understand why... you have the qualities that make our scientific research department very interested... The guys in the service club will hypocritically invite you to join. After you refuse, they will make some small moves behind their backs. But we won't! The club's style of doing things is more direct than the service club!"
"So. If I accept your mission, will you continue to harass me?"
White Glove thought seriously: "I think... at least during the mission period, you will not be harassed from the club, and I can guarantee you this."
"In other words, once the mission is over... the club may send someone to catch me?" Chen Xiao frowned.
"That's it." White Glove nodded without any concealment.
Although this answer is...excessive. But at least, it is quite honest.
If White Gloves promised Chen Xiao that he would never harass Chen Xiao again in the future, then there would be a ghost!
"One year." Chen Xiao quickly threw out a condition: "I require that within one year, the club will not harass me under any circumstances! Including my relatives and friends around me! In one year, even if it is the first condition for me to accept this commission!"
Bai Glove thought for a while, his expression was very serious, as if he was calculating something, and then he exhaled: "Yes! But it's only one year, start from the first day you accept the task!"
"The second condition." Chen Xiao said slowly: "It's about a... collar!"
Speaking of the collar, Chen Xiao noticed that the expression of the white gloves changed slightly.
"A few days ago, two guys came to propose a commission. They brought a collar... like this. Just the day before yesterday, when I met the red-haired arrested the club, I also saw that he had one in his hand!"
After saying that, Chen Xiao told me about the two strange men with top hats that night.
"I don't know the meaning and function of the collar in the club, but I'm very worried. I'm a person who cares about my friends very much, and I don't want my friends to encounter any danger." Chen Xiao frowned: "But those two guys wearing top hats seem to bring some dangers and troubles."
White Glove nodded, his expression became much more serious, and then he sighed: "This matter is a bit complicated. The two guys you mentioned belong to a different faction from me when they were in the club, and they had already left the club a few days ago to defect. We have always been severely punishing the traitors. As for you, they brought a collar and entrusted you to find... I think I guess what happened to this matter. I will deal with this matter. As for you... you can treat that commission no longer exists!"
"Sorry, this is not possible!" Chen Xiao shook his head: "Although I am an agent, I cannot do anything that breaks the principles. Rules can be changed, but principles are principles! Entrusts that have been accepted cannot be invalidated at will...unless it is..."
When Chen Xiao said this, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "Unless the entrusted task was suddenly suspended for some other reason."
White Glove smiled: "I don't think this is difficult. Another job I came to K City is to deal with this."
He took out an old-fashioned pocket watch from his arms - hell, in this era, people still wear pocket watches?!
