Roy thought he knew Hicks very well about the nature of the profiteer, so when he saw the smile on Hicks's face, he felt creepy, as if the skin on his body was about to be peeled off and only a skeleton remained.

"Well, Mr. Hicks, please restrain your smile a little, you are smiling so badly that I feel very uncomfortable. ”

Roy said to Hicks with a dry smile.

Hicks restrained his smile very cooperatively, and did not show his teeth again, but smiled.

It seemed to be very kind, but Ainabel couldn't help but cry and said, "The appearance of smiling without showing teeth seems to be even more terrifying!!"

“......”

Hicks twitched the corners of his mouth, then put away his playfulness, and said to Roy and Ainabel very directly: "It's no problem to want to borrow from me, but on the contrary, you need to pay a certain price." ”

"It's like staying in a hotel is also paying for a room, so I won't give you a free place to stay. ”

"Do you think we don't know that?"

Ainabel said angrily, "Fools know that it's impossible to borrow money from you without paying any price."

Hicks coughed lightly, and when he didn't hear Ainabel's words, he looked at Roy and said, "Your money is probably buried in that pile of ruins, so I don't need you to give me money directly, and I can even cover your food money, but from now on, you have to give me free work for as long as you want to live." ”

"Eight hours a day, I will do whatever work I arrange for you, if it exceeds eight hours, I will pay you another salary, how about it? If you agree, I will let you stay, if you don't agree, leave as soon as possible, don't delay my business." ”

After listening to Hicks's words, Roy and Ainabel couldn't help but glance at each other, it's so simple?

To be honest, Roy thought about the price very seriously at first, he thought about selling himself into slavery and so on, but he didn't expect Hicks to let him use a part-time job in place of room payment, and he was very kind to arrange for them to work for eight hours, and after eight hours, they could be paid another salary.

Although Hicks was free to call them on for eight hours and ask them to do any dirty work, don't forget, he also offered overtime pay, which is almost exclusively a matter of legend.

Strictly speaking, Hicks's conditions were not harsh, and even a little beyond Roy's expectations.

So Roy was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly in agreement.

"No problem, we did it!"

After receiving Roy's reply, Hicks nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you can just agree." Let's get to work now, and I'll give you the contract later. ”

"This is also a contract?"

Roy looked at him with some surprise, what a big deal, but it can be solved by verbal agreement, as for such an exaggeration?

However, Hicks said to Roy and Ainabel quite seriously: "I will never solve the things that can be solved by the contract, I will never solve them in other ways, this is the only principle of my business and even life!"

Looking at Hicks' solemn appearance, neither Roy nor Ainabel doubted the veracity of his words.

It's just that they really didn't expect that this profiteer would still have such persistence, and they had slightly changed their opinion of Hicks.

"Alright, let's go to work. First, go clean up the warehouse, Roy, and follow this list to tidy up my warehouse. ”

With that, Hicks handed Roy a list of goods, which were arranged in a categorical manner, and even drew the area where the goods should be placed at the bottom of the list.

When Roy saw this, he looked up in surprise.

"You didn't think we'd come to you to borrow it, so you drew this thing and dug all the pits waiting for us to jump in, right?"

Anyway, this is too well prepared, and even the illustrations are drawn.

Hicks rolled his eyes and said, "I've always been so well prepared, I can only say that you are just in time." Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, get to work!"

Urged by Hicks, Roy and Ainabel had no choice but to turn around and go to the warehouse to start tidying up.

"Wait a minute!"

Roy and the others were just about to leave when Hicks suddenly stopped them again.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Roy turned around, he saw an unknown object flying towards him, he quickly reached out to catch it, held it in his hand and looked at it, and found that it was two sets of very simple and common clerk clothes.

Roy and Ainabel looked at Hicks with some surprise, and Hicks smiled indifferently: "Since you want to work officially with me, let's change into a formal set of work clothes." ”

Roy and Ainabel couldn't help but smile when they heard this, and they both nodded in unison, and then left the place for the warehouse.

For them, Hicks' warehouse was definitely the most familiar place they had here, so familiar that they could find it even with their eyes closed.

After watching Roy and Ainabel leave, Hicks took out a pen and paper from the counter drawer, and began to write something.

If Roy had been here, they might have thought Hicks was writing the contract, but in fact......

"People are fine, they are all here, don't worry, remember not to go out. ”

Hicks wrote a few words, then drew a coin symbol at the end of the message, and then rolled the paper into a small roll, walked out from behind the counter, and walked straight out of the store.

Arriving at the front of the store, Hicks put his finger in his mouth and blew a whistle with a "whoosh".

"Squeak!!"

At that moment, an unpleasant sound of metal grinding sounded, and immediately after, a silverclaw demon flew down from somewhere, and flew straight towards Hicks.

As we all know, the claws of the silverclaw demon are quite sharp, and if he catches them, it is impossible not to see red.

But Hicks was not surprised when he saw this, he even raised his other arm, and the silver-clawed demon landed on Hicks's left arm so steadily.

And Hicks didn't have any wounds on his left arm!

The silverclaw's claws were so measured that not a single tip touched Hicks' skin.

This is actually Hicks' domesticated silverclaw?!

If you look closely, this silver-clawed demon has a very beautiful silver feather, and coupled with his already metallic claws, the whole body looks like a silver eagle.

Moreover, unlike the last time they almost pulled Roy out of the bald heads, the Silverclaw Demons.

This silver-clawed demon is not bloody and ugly, but has a sense of divine horse, and those silver-clawed demons are just like two varieties, completely different.

"Ciel, I'm going to trouble you again. ”

Hicks raised his hand and gently scratched the chin of the silverclaw demon named Ciel, and Ciel's very human expression showed a very comfortable look.

Then an indeterminate voice came out of his throat, as if in response to Hicks, saying it was okay.

Hicks smiled before placing the scroll of paper in his hand into the small tube tied to Hill's right paw.

"Go ahead!"

After doing all this, Hicks flicked his left hand slightly, and Hill immediately spread his wings and flew into the sky, but in a few moments, it had disappeared into the sky, and it was no longer visible.

Seeing Hill disappear into the blue sky, Hicks turned around and returned to his shop as if nothing had happened, and after a while, there was the first customer, Hicks was like an ordinary vendor, and received this guest very warmly in person.

Selling his goods hard, he didn't waste his profiteer's personality at all.
