In a luxuriously decorated restaurant, Moyu glanced at Bisiki, who was performing a lady's sitting posture next to him.
Opposite the rectangular dining table is an energetic middle-aged man wearing a black suit and slicked back hair.
Not far behind the middle-aged man, stood four burly men also wearing black suits.
Wearing sunglasses, they were so quiet that they didn't even make a breath, standing there like motionless pillars.
Farther away, and outside the restaurant, there were at least a hundred young men standing in a queue.
Such a pomp is worthy of a gangster.
That's right——
The client that Lizzie was talking about was the middle-aged man with a big back and a gangster who was one of the most powerful gangsters in Laxiang City, named Tolan Patrick.
Moyu had no interest in these, but Bisiji followed him shamelessly...
This made him, who was already a little uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable.
"Yorkshire lawyer, these "trivial matters" will trouble you."
Tolan raised his glass to pay tribute to Lizzie. In his words and deeds, he did not have the fierceness and debauchery of a gangster, but was more like a gentleman.
Li Zi raised her glass and said calmly: "It's our job."
Accept the assignment and complete the work.
This is the center of the world for professional hunters.
Tolan smiled and drank the glass of wine, sincerely praising in his heart: The existence of professional hunters is really...
So convenient.
As long as the reward is enough, you can entrust the other party to help you solve troublesome things.
So for him, problems that can be solved with money are no longer problems.
Tolan put down his wine glass, pointed to the delicious dishes on the table with an invitation gesture, and said with a smile: "Try it, these dishes are the masterpieces of the "food hunters" I specially invited. Both the selection of materials and the production are top-notch in the industry.
.”
After saying that, he looked at Moyu and Bisji who were sitting next to Lizi.
Why bring two small children when we are talking about business?
Tolan only kept the doubt in his heart and did not show any of it.
Just because Li Zi sitting in front of him is a one-star professional hunter, any action he takes has a certain reason.
Also because of Lizzie's identity, Tolan even felt that——
Those two seemingly weak children might be able to beat up the four top bodyguards behind them.
All in all, no matter how many evil things you do in private, you must do well on the surface.
This is the code of conduct that Tolan has always adhered to.
Moyu glanced at the well-mannered Tolan and felt a little strange in his heart.
Do all the gangsters in Laxiang City have this style of painting?
Or is it because of the so-called "legalization of G drugs" that the gangs have directly adopted a business-style route that requires consideration of appearance?
While thinking about it, Moyou picked up the knife and fork, added a piece of lamb chop to the plate, and immediately started eating.
He didn't know why Lizzie brought him to such an occasion.
Because sitting next to him, even if he was not interested, he could only be forced to listen clearly to the conversation between Lizzie and Tolan.
This city called Laxiang City is rich in a legalized drug called "G-Drug".
It was originally used in medical treatment. In terms of efficacy, it has excellent anesthetic effects and no side effects.
But I don’t know when it started…
The "G drug" circulating in sales channels has an additional hallucinogenic effect that can cause dependence on the human body.
The gangsters who were aware of this immediately rushed in like sharks smelling the smell of blood, thus promoting this improved version of G drug.
Thanks to the name of "legalization", the gangsters who were the first to enter the scene made a lot of money, so much so that even the "ten old men" who led the gangs around the world couldn't help but become interested in it.
And this huge economic benefit also makes Laxiang City officials willing to become gangsters' helpers.
With the promotion of "G-drugs", due to the dependence and side effects of the drug itself, more and more people are addicted to it. In the end, they are unable to restrain their desires, and their families are ruined.
But how can a gangster who only cares about profits care about the lives of unrelated people.
Even if these desire slaves want to cause trouble, gangsters can use "legalized" means to solve the problem.
Hiring a powerful lawyer is one of the ways.
And it seems that because they have tasted the sweetness of "making money through legalization", the gang's outward performance can be said to be very reasonable and legal.
Don’t be afraid of gangsters, just be afraid that gangsters are educated.
This is Moyu's perception of the gangsters in Laxiang City.
but--
Moyu didn't expect that Lizzie would accept such a scumbag's commission.
But then I thought about it, since this city allows the legalization of "G-drugs", then as a professional hunter, there is really no reason for Li Zi to refuse the commission within the legal scope.
This is what professional hunters are.
Moyu stopped thinking about it, after all, these things had nothing to do with him.
He took a bite of the mutton.
"Well……"
The moment the tip of the tongue touched the meat juice, a taste that had never been tasted before spread softly in the mouth.
Delicious, quite delicious…
It was the first time for Moyu to eat such delicious food.
Since time travel, he has either been immersed in reading books or trying to find ways to improve his strength. He has completely forgotten that there is a profession like "Food Hunter" in the world that is dedicated to digging out dream-level delicious food.
Now I am lucky enough to taste the masterpiece of a "food hunter", and I can't help but feel "it's so good to be here".
"After rescuing Hawke, I must travel to every corner of the world, experience scenery I have never seen before, and fight against all kinds of strong men..."
Moyu ate the mutton chops in two bites, his eyes were lowered and there was a little sparkle in his eyes.
Li Zi noticed something strange about Mo You and moved the mutton chops that had just been placed on the plate in front of Mo You.
Moyu was slightly startled, but he was not polite.
He feels that since it is a product of Food Hunter, great attention should be paid to the selection of ingredients, and it can also replenish body energy very well.
Based on this idea, he wanted to eat more and then go back to practice all night.
"Is little brother Kester too hungry?"
Bisji looked at Moyu who was devouring his food with a strange look in his eyes, as if he suddenly discovered an unknown side of Moyu.
Tolan also noticed Mo Yuna's increasingly wild eating style. In order to better fulfill the friendship of the landlord, he made a gesture with his index and middle fingers together and asked the restaurant's chef to add more dishes.
This thoughtful hospitality immediately satisfied Moyu's temporary needs.
After having enough wine and food.
Lizzie said goodbye to Tolan, then left the restaurant with Moyu and returned to Suibian Law Firm.
Li Zi opened the office door and looked back at Bisji who was following her.
Although he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was clear: Why are you still here?
Bisji pretended not to see Lizzie's eyes.
Li Zi was quite helpless. Due to Bisji's ability and reputation, she didn't say anything to drive her away, so she could only walk into the office like this.
Moyu looked at Bisji.
The gem hunter's aunt's stalking skills were beyond his expectation.
Bisji seemed to be aware of Moyu's thoughts, and immediately silently waved his small fist at Moyu.
Moyu immediately withdrew his gaze and followed Li Zi.
The three of them entered the office.
suddenly.
Li Zi seemed to have noticed something and stopped in front of the stairs.
However, Bisiji's reaction was faster than hers, and he directly opened his sperm holes and released his telekinesis power to cover the body surface.
After she put on a completely defensive posture, Li Zi also released her telekinesis to cover her body.
"This vague sense of aura is messy and dull..."
Moyu noticed a slight sense of dissonance in the space, and immediately opened his sperm holes, allowing the maximum amount of Qi to linger in every position of his body.
After entering the threshold of Nian, he experienced three life-and-death battles, which gave him the ability to identify the aura left behind by the battle and respond to it.
But even if he didn't notice it, when he saw Bisji and Li Zi reflexively releasing telekinesis, he would not hesitate to take a defensive posture.
"I'll go up and have a look."
Li Zi looked back at Bisji and Moyu, who were releasing their mental defenses. Obviously, there was no need to explain the situation.
Bisji had no objection. She was just a show-goer and would not take action unless necessary.
"Sister Lizzie, I'll go with you."
Moyu took two steps forward.
He was a little ready to move.
Li Zi did not notice anything strange about Moyu, and said without any doubt: "Stay here, I know roughly what is going on, so you stay here and wait for me to go up and confirm the situation."
"..."
Moyu nodded silently.
Bisji crossed his arms and glanced at Moyu from the corner of his eye, feeling slightly surprised in his heart.
Li Zi didn't notice Mo Yu's imminent thoughts, but Bisji noticed it.
"I really didn't see it..."
Bisji thought with great interest.
Lizzie went up the stairs and then came to her office.
The office door that was originally closed was now half-open, and there were a series of blood stains on the ground in front of the door.
Lizzie's eyes moved away from the blood stains and turned to look at the darkness inside the door.
From such a close distance, she could already clearly feel the breath fluctuations in the office.
To be more precise, it was that the other party gave up on hiding their aura.
"I think you need to give me an explanation that can convince me."
Lizzie looked across the half-open office door and stared into the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers.
After counting the interest,
Sambika's voice came from the office: "Sorry."
No explanation was given. Instead, he simply apologized, and his voice sounded very weak.
Li Zi frowned. She was mentally prepared before coming up.
She originally thought that the virus hunter who had been pestering her for several days would leave her alone so that he wouldn't cause any trouble to her.
It seems now that I was too optimistic at the time.
"If an apology is of any use, my firm should close down."
Lizzie pushed around the blood stain and pushed the office door all the way, then turned on a spotlight switch.
Orange light was projected from the top of the display cabinet next to the door, and the soft brightness was enough for Lizzie to see clearly what was going on in the office.
Messy, bloodstained——
And a corpse lying next to the sofa in the living room.
In the corner near the window, Sambika was leaning against the wall, with a lot of blood on his body and looking seriously injured.
"You must have stepped on thunder, Miss Virus Hunter."
Lizzie walked in, ignoring the existence of the corpse, and looked at Sambika calmly.
"..."
Sambika remained silent.
Li Zi took a few more glances at the body lying next to the sofa and said coldly: "Miss Virus Hunter, if you can make good use of the weapons you have, you will not make your situation so dangerous."
"Viruses are not weapons..."
Sambika lowered his eyes and said weakly: "I... won't use it for anything other than medical treatment."
"..."
This time it was Lizzy's turn to be silent.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she saw the shadow of her master in Miss Virus Hunter.
"Let me explain the situation first."
Li Zi sighed softly and motioned for Sambika to explain the whole story.
"Sorry...before I explain the situation..."
Sambika habitually apologized first, and then reminded weakly: "I was ambushed... now... there is at least one telepathic person..."
"say clearly."
Li Zi's eyes changed.
When he brought people over to her, he didn't even sweep his tail clean.
The lobby on the first floor of the office.
Bisji raised his head and stared at the motionless stairs.
"Little brother Kester."
She turned her back to Moyu and suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Moyu looked at her, waiting for the next step.
Bisji asked: "How long has it been since you learned to read?"
"Less than a month."
Moyu didn't hide anything.
"ha?"
Bisji suddenly turned around and looked at Moyu with a little surprise in his eyes.
She didn't ask, and her previous judgment was that it would take about half a year, but she didn't expect that it wouldn't even take a month.
Completely mistaken...
Little brother Kester's talent was even more exaggerated than she expected.
"Then you don't know how to be round, right?"
Subduing his surprise, Bisji continued to ask.
"Won't."
Moyu didn't know why Bisji asked such a question, but he still answered it.
It is not difficult to learn the skill of making a circle. The problem lies in mastering it.
If you can't master it, then even if you learn it, it's of no use.
"I'm really asking a stupid question. How can you, who only learned to read "Yuan" for less than a month, know how to use "Yuan"..."
Bisji shook his head, then raised his index finger and said, "Then I will send you a message for free."
"Um?"
Moyu looked at Bisji without knowing why.
"Outside……"
Bisji looked outside the office and said with a smile: "There is a telepathic person who comes with bad intentions."
Moyu's eyes changed.
Immediately afterwards,
Got a little excited.
When Bi Si Ji saw this, the smile on his face became even stronger.
----------
This chapter is 4000 words in two.
I slept all day today and was confused and had a nightmare.
I actually dreamed that I was twisted into dozens of pieces by Madge using mind threads...
Let me tell you something else.
According to the normal process, I will put it on the shelves next Friday, and the word count should be about 160,000 words.
Mainly because of your support, I didn’t expect that the recommendation process for this book would be quite smooth. I was surprised...
It's just that Zhuzhu, considering that the first few books were lined up to be recommended, and then waited until nearly 300,000 words to be put on the shelves, if this one with 160,000 words was put on the shelves, he would feel a little guilty.
So, let this week's recommendation be a bye, postpone the launch time to the first of next month, and write about ten more days of free period, which can at least increase the number of free words to more than 200,000 words.
As for the explosive updates and additional updates, that will happen after they are released.
