Austin listened to Sycamore's words and asked a little puzzled, "Mr. Sycamore, there doesn't seem to be any enmity between us, I wonder why you said that?"

Wutong still smiled brighter and brighter, and said: "After that incident, I was hunted down for a long time, it was really an unforgettable experience, and the person in charge was the executive officer of your department. If I hadn't chosen to resubmit to the Monroe clan and show enough value, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me right now. ”

This answer is not within the scope of Austin's thinking, but it is also reasonable, and it is indeed a common tactic of the Operations Department that the personnel hired by the periphery are killed after the fact to cover up some truth that is difficult to disclose. Of course, this was something he only learned about after joining the Operations Department, which is not a lot of cases, after all, the Operations Department's mercenary assignments also require a certain amount of credibility.

"I apologize to you on behalf of the Operations Department if such an incident had happened, and I myself had no knowledge of such a situation. ”

"Of course, I'm sure you don't know, otherwise you wouldn't have the idea of working with you, just a little joke. ”

As the level of ability increases, Sycamore's temperament becomes more and more unpredictable, and Austin doesn't bother to tell that Sycamore's words come from the heart, which won't have much impact on his next actions.

"Do you have anything else to do with me tonight? other than bring your ...... Greeting. ”

"Aha," Wutong said in his usual theatrical tone, "I'll give you the rest of the cold jade, and two hundred gold and fifty silver coins as the final payment." ”

"Does this seem to be a little better than what we were going to do?" Austin smiled a little, on the one hand, he was short-handed, and on the other hand, he was really happy to be paid extraordinarily.

Sycamore said, "Take it as a reward, the speed at which you completed it is worth the price." Even if ordinary people can seize the opportunity for him to go out, they may not be able to take people's lives at the hands of the monster that White McCreeth. This time, I showed enough sincerity and hope to have a pleasant cooperation experience in the future. ”

"Thank you. However, I hope that the way of remuneration in the future can not be just simple cold jade, but can get the specified materials or currency, of course, the monthly payment is still cold jade in the absence of accidents, I don't know if it will be difficult?"

Wutong shook his head, as if he had anticipated this request: "Of course, this is your right. ”

The two sides said goodbye after a few more words, only the traces of the collision of the source force still remained on the street, as if the secret was accidentally left behind.

"Come on, how am I done?" Sycamore suddenly spoke as he felt the two of Austin disappear at the end of the long street.

However, no one or anything appeared, only a voice came to mind, a very ordinary man's voice, neither low nor high-pitched, if I had to describe it, it was the voice of those old men who talked loudly and buried in the tavern. It's just that the voice is fluctuating around, so that the sycamore can't always make out the direction.

"Very good, I have now basically confirmed what I want to do, from now on the Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce will have a foothold in Apocalypse City, this is from ...... protection. ”

"Thank you, sir. Whether the other party could see it or not, Sycamore put away the playful smile on his face and bowed to the inky dark darkness ahead.

"I can't afford to be called an adult, but I'll relay what the gentleman said to that person. ”

When Austin and the others returned to their lodgings, they found Moroji waiting for him in the living room, while Anna was busy in the kitchen, when Austin came in and served the decanting soup, and smiled as they finished drinking.

"Are you alright?" Moroji asked with some concern when he was secretly poked by Anna.

Austin shook his head and said that it was okay, there were no special potions added to the decanting soup, but some soothing tonic was herbs, and the communication with Wutong made him a little tired, and then simply explained the situation to his friends and rested early.

Moroji and Anna were also called in to make some simple inquiries as planned, but they did not arouse the slightest suspicion. Indeed, with the identities of the two of them, here referring to the identities in the family, there is no motive for the assassination at all.

Austin didn't want to dwell on the issue, and since he had endured this non-formal inquiry, the matter was over in his mind. What made him more concerned was the fight with Wutong just now, although both sides had some restraint, but there was still a lot of momentum, and the fact that the patrol team did not appear at that time did not mean that no one would find out afterwards.

This is another thing that needs to be explained by finding a reason, if you tell the truth, I am afraid that you will have to make some adaptations and concealments on the basis of the present.

One lie always needs another to cover up, until the last moment the god of fate puts the last weight on the side marked "collapse" in the scales, and mortals have to wait for the storm of judgment to come.

Austin is not good at dealing with such a situation, and Davix and others are also a little helpless, which makes Austin feel a faint headache, dipping his thumb in a little warm water and slowly pressing his temples, but his thoughts are still a mess.

The next morning, the arrival of a man solved the problem for him, but it brought a small trouble.

"Hello sir, I am the postman of the official post office in Beiwangcheng, do you have any letters that need to be sent? ”

Austin did need to tell Von Lantlin about some of the events and document them, and while most of the information could be transmitted remotely through the alchemy apparatus, a single fixed process was necessary.

Quiraf opened the door and watched outside as a postman in dark green overalls handed over a letter, carefully sealed with a "top secret" stamp, not afraid of anyone else stealthily opening it.

To his surprise, the postman smiled embarrassedly after receiving the letter, and his middle-aged honest face flushed a little, and said, "My lord, can I go in and beg for water? ”

The postman's account was a little confused, but Quiraf understood, and looked at Austin with some hesitation, believing that Austin, though in a wheelchair by the fireplace, had a clear understanding of the conversation.

Sure enough, Austin nodded, and the postman flashed in with a grin and greeted Austin and everyone in the room, as if the strangers had known him for years.

Austin looked at him twice, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Bone Eater, you are also a senior, is it interesting to tease a few of our juniors?"

The postman wiped his face, and an equally ordinary but unfamiliar face appeared on the body, seven or eight points similar to the middle-aged man who picked him up when Austin first arrived in Beiwang City that day.

"Mr. Austin, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”
