The noisy bar was as lively as ever, but with the absence of a waitress, Barkin seemed a little in a hurry.
Aaron glanced at the counter and called to Barkin, who was very busy: "Bring me a glass of lemonade."
"Okay, boss."
Barkin replied, and immediately brought Aaron a cup filled with water, with a slice of green lemon stuck on the edge.
Aaron took a casual sip, glanced around and said, "It's quite busy tonight. After all, we are missing two people... How is William doing lately?"
The kid volunteered to explore the church last time and almost lost his life! If he hadn't entrusted Karl to rescue people in advance, he might not have seen the kid. Even so, William was seriously injured after he came back.
, three ribs were broken.
"With your potion, boss, he's almost ready, but I see that his spirit is a little sluggish, and he's currently busy in the wine cellar."
Barkin replied.
"Oh, young people always get hurt in love. This is youth..."
Aaron sighed, rolled his eyes again, and thought for a while: "After Isabette, the bar needs to recruit new people. You go and find two more waitresses."
"Okay, I've been wanting to propose this for a long time. In terms of requirements?" Balkin asked.
"Are you asking for it?" There was a smile on Aaron's lips, thinking of some of William's hobbies, and said seriously: "Of course, you must be young, beautiful, and charming. At the same time, you must have a plump figure and a particularly prominent hip line.
…”
"I understand, boss..."
…
As the night grew darker, the bar door suddenly opened, letting in the cold wind outside.
Many drunkards looked up at the door and saw a young man coming in.
He was wearing a pitch-black cloak that covered his chest and back, and also wore a hood, making him look like a mysterious man who was moving about furtively.
When he walked in, Aaron could see the silver hair on this man's forehead.
He has thin cheeks, a pointed chin, and a pair of breathtaking bright eyes. He looks very handsome.
The young man came directly to the bar, glanced at Barkin and Aaron, and said, "Who is the boss? Please bring me a mojito."
This is the code for the bounty hunter to complete the task, the rules Aaron personally set after he became the boss.
Aaron, who was behind the bar, felt a subtle sense of familiarity, with a smile on his face: "I am the boss, you can tell me if you have anything."
He looked around and decided to trade at the bar, because the young man didn't have any blood on his body, and he didn't bring any scary items such as corpses. It seemed that it was a relatively ordinary commission, such as finding someone
Return valuable lost items and pets.
The young man put his right hand into his cloak and took out a volume of documents. His voice was steady: "It's the commission to investigate the arson case at Baron Jacques's manor."
"Have you found out the truth?" Aaron asked curiously.
This mission was issued by him personally, anonymously of course.
During this period of time, many bounty hunters have taken on this task, but they can only produce some messy investigation reports.
As for the real culprit of the arson case, he has never been found.
Even so, Aaron generously reimbursed the bounty hunters for their paper and transportation expenses. In addition, no one took away the 100-pound bounty.
"Yes..." The young bounty hunter raised his eyebrows and replied very confidently: "That Baron Jacques is not simple. He has a palace position, although he is only in charge of His Majesty the King's cloakroom..."
"As for his social circle, there is review and supervision by the Kingdom's guards, so I don't think there is any problem. As for the real culprit of the arson case, he is here."
He opened the file and pressed the last report on the table.
Aaron raised his brows slightly, smiled suddenly, counted out an 80-pound note and handed it over: "Young bounty hunter, if you prove that you have successfully completed the task, I am willing to pay you for it."
"very good."
The young bounty hunter turned the paper over, and it was shockingly...blank!
Aaron resisted the urge to complain and suddenly felt an extraordinary ability being activated.
Since the 'Danger Sense' was not triggered, he smiled and allowed the other party to move.
'This is not a change in cognition, but the power of illusion...'Shadow'? He covered the surface of the paper with a layer of illusion...'
Aaron looked at Barkin next to him, and saw that the manager seemed to have seen the name on the paper and exclaimed: "Green Potter?!"
"Boy, are you here to cause trouble?"
Aaron pretended to be angry, reached under the bar with his hands, and quickly pulled out a double-barreled shotgun.
The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at the young bounty hunter's head.
"Haha... I just want to perform a show without being so nervous."
The bounty hunter tugged on the cloak with his right hand and threw it into the air.
His attire suddenly changed - he was wearing a shiny silver suit, a white top hat, a pure white cape behind him, and a red rose on his chest.
A gold-rimmed monocle is placed on his left eye, which makes him look even more bookish. Coupled with a slightly pointed chin, big bright eyes, and a handsome face, he looks very unique and aura.
: "Reintroducing me, I'm Copper Phil!"
"The famous magician Copperfield?"
Aaron's hand holding the shotgun did not relax at all, and he pointed it straight at Copperfield's head: "Why do you come to my bar and make trouble?"
"Boss, your bar's reputation in the mysterious world is getting bigger and bigger. It's a good stage..." Copper Phil took a sip of the drink on the bar nonchalantly, with a playful smile on his lips.
: "I'm just a magician here to perform magic. Hmm...for example, your shotgun might shoot out not bullets, but fireworks?".
"You can try it!"
Aaron simply pulled the trigger.
Bang!
With a gunshot, countless white, red, green, blue, and colorful ribbons spurted out from the mouth of the shotgun. It seemed that this was not a murder weapon, but a holiday salute gun.
Even after the fireworks, a small chess piece was played out, and the rolled-up chess piece drooped, revealing the words Inves on it - 'Happy New Year'!
This is a colorful flag to celebrate the New Year. I don’t know where Copperfield got it from.
"Everyone, Happy New Year...well, the New Year has passed..."
Copperfield, who was telling a cold joke, took off his tall white hat with his gloved hands, flicked his silver cloak, grabbed the ruby-encrusted cane in his hand, and bowed like an actor leaving the stage:
"goodbye!"
Bang!
Another gunshot rang out, it was 'Crazy' Carl!
But the bullet could only pass through a puff of smoke in vain, and the magician in it had long since disappeared.
