Chapter 474, May 2009, 5

The high-rise buildings outside the glass window are set against the flashing neon lights. The raindrops hit the window, reflecting the light, like colorful pebbles.

In the blink of an eye, it is already May and the weather is starting to get hot. It is already the third month after graduation.

The endless sky was covered by a layer of deep darkness. The cooling breeze gently blew the light blue curtains from top to bottom. The blue light illuminated the girl's delicate cheeks. The clicking sound of the mouse and the clacking sound of the keyboard composed a unique melody.

Zhuo was sitting next to Ling with his face close to hers.

The two people were not surfing the Internet or watching movies, but preparing to find a task.

In other words, making dirty money.

After using his [Scale] to obtain the Great Sage and [Vector Turn] abilities, Zhuo rarely used them. This was not for any special purpose, but because he felt it was unnecessary. In fact, Zhuo did not dislike gaining abilities, even if he had to pay a price for them.

It was said to be making black money, but that was just Zhuo's opinion. Officially, there was a more rigorous term for this matter, called a mission.

The source of the task comes from a website called "Hunter Market", also known as the Hunter Website.

'Hunters' do not refer to the kind of hunters who go up the mountain to hunt. They refer to a specific group of people who are hired to help others solve problems.

The field of hunters is very large, including but not limited to mercenaries, desperadoes, artists, avant-garde literary youths and gangsters. The composition is very complex... Of course, there are also mixed-races. In fact, they are the real mainstream of this platform.

Some tasks are announced on the website regularly. These tasks are released by the client website to hunters all over the world. Registered members who are confident that they can take on the tasks can reply to the email on the website and attach their resume.

This process is called "posting", and the client will choose his "favorite" hunter from the posted hunters.

If the employer is satisfied with your resume, you will receive a letter. After completion, the commission will be automatically deposited into your account.

Zero stared at the computer screen that he had just borrowed from the rental company and entered his account and password on the Hunter website. With a loud enter key sound, the page refreshed from top to bottom. The style changed abruptly. The dark background gave people a serious and mysterious feeling, and the dark red bold font showed the bloody storm hidden behind the mission.

To use Zero's words, the website designer seems to be afraid that others don't know that this is a place where "bad things" are done.

Most of the bounty-offering tasks were related to the illegal movement of cultural relics, but Zhuo also caught a glimpse of posts asking for help in exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts.

Zhuo leaned forward to look closer and found that this place was somewhat different from the "Hunter Website" he imagined. In Zhuo's imagination, this should be a place where retired special forces kings, mercenaries, wandering hybrids, the world's top tycoons, and deep mountain families with a thousand-year heritage acted as black and white gloves for each other. For example, who would blow up the Baigong today, who would assassinate the president, and so on.

There is a big gap between reality and fantasy.

Zhuo discovered that there were no straightforward assassination missions here. Most of the missions were between illegal and gray, mainly involving theft, grave digging and looting of cultural relics.

Having said that, Zhuo also knew that these seemingly ordinary tasks might not be that simple, and most of them might be a bit weird. If you don't have some "talent", you might not be able to do this job.

To explain why this happened suddenly, we have to go back to a few days ago.

…A few days ago…

Friday, May 2009, 5.

In front of a 24-hour drugstore, or rather, on this path not far from the viaduct and completely deserted, there is a red sports car that is out of place here. To be precise, it is a Ferrari 599GTBFiorano that is as red as a flame and is said to be worth 500 million. Because it is too remote and too close to the noisy viaduct, only this drugstore can emit a little light nearby.

The girl in an evening gown and the boy in a cheap suit that looked like it was bought at a street stall were playing hopscotch based on the chalk marks left by some kid on the path.

A huge sound traveled through the dark night sky. Su Enxi looked up and saw a huge black shadow approaching at a low altitude.

A black helicopter flew across the sky of the southern town like a giant bird, passing over the heads of the young boys and girls below.

Su Enxi put down the telescope and looked at the beautiful woman sitting on the chair beside her, holding a goblet in one hand and browsing her phone with the other. Su Enxi seemed to be troubled by her indifferent attitude and sighed helplessly:

"It's over. You can go back to them now."

"..."

The result was similar to what Su Enxi expected. The long-legged beauty chose to pretend not to hear and did not respond. To be more precise, she did not even raise her head. Only the "da da da" sound of the expensive cherry white nails echoed.

Su Enxi knew that this matter was very troublesome, which was why she wanted to throw it to the girl in front of her.

Furthermore, regardless of the matter itself, the two people who deliberately chose to quietly leave Neon before the two people got married should not have any qualifications to visit again. Or if it were someone else, Su Enxi would be able to gain the other party's understanding, and even if she failed, she could still send Long Legs to play.

Of course, this kind of appearance does not mean that Long Legs wants to impress the other party with her beauty. In fact, Long Legs would not do such a thing. She always likes the mini pistol hidden in the thigh ring, which is enough to clear away all troubles.

The reason why the two of them were reluctant and both felt troubled was that one of them was their former partner.

Sanwu knows them too well.

There is absolutely no way to hide the truth by lying.

Even if it was true, Su Enxi was willing to attend San Wu Niu's wedding for personal reasons. After all, this kind of scene was something she dared not imagine in her dreams. Before this, she had never thought that San Wu Niu would marry someone so resolutely. However, it happened just like that, and it was fueled by them.

Naturally, Su Enxi felt that she did not have the power to decide Zero's future, and her devil boss's opinion was naturally involved.

That being said... After all, she had been with the accounting maid for so many years that Su Enxi felt that her boss was not such a magnanimous and generous person. She also did not think that a nasty guy who maliciously manipulated the stock price of a company just because he was not satisfied with the game made by that company would suddenly and generously give up the three-no girl whom he regarded as his little cotton-padded jacket to another man.

'I hate it most when someone takes my things away.'

A boss who says this will make a trade-off for greater benefits, but that doesn't mean he will keep his word.

Generally speaking, things like "when the bird is dead, the bow is put away", "when the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked", "after crossing the river, the bridge is demolished"... these are what Su Enxi expected to happen in the future. Su Enxi felt that the boss would definitely retaliate, and this was something that she, Changtui, and even Sanwu could imagine as a future that did not need to be spoken out.

According to this, they and Sanwu are destined to meet again from different standpoints.

Under such circumstances, Su Enxi was certainly unwilling to visit those two people.

(…I’m sure he’ll get beaten up or thrown out. Oh, these two things don’t seem to conflict with each other. I’ll beat him up first and then throw him out.)
