Chapter 38: Bounty Hunter Varina
Suddenly hearing his name from someone else's mouth, Varina's whole body froze, almost thinking that he had been recognized by the other side.
Luckily, he reacted.
Varina shifted her sitting position sharply, leaning towards Zereel, as if she was beginning to take an interest in his commission.
Only Varina knew that he was acting to disguise his unusual reaction at that moment.
He secretly felt lucky.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been promoted to Sequence 9 a few days ago and had improved his control over his body a lot, he would definitely have exposed his flaws in front of the old detective.
"Let's talk about the tricky part of this commission, right?"
As she spoke, Varina controlled the muscles on her face and fine-tuned her expression so that she no longer showed her relaxed face.
It happened suddenly, and he could only do it so far.
"The main problem may be that I don't have enough connections in the gang."
Detective Zarrell laughed to himself before adding more explanations:
"One of my assistants found out that he had a conflict with the Dead Eels in the docklands before he disappeared."
"But then the investigation got into a dilemma, and the Dead Eels said he was from the Squirrel Gang, and the Squirrels said they didn't have this person."
"It's okay if the two sides don't say the same, the point is that the person has really disappeared since that conflict, as if he had suddenly disappeared."
Hearing this, Varina's heart relaxed a lot.
It seems that their current search scope is still focused on the eastern district, and they have not been exposed for the time being.
"If that's the case, then I might have some options, I still have a lot of connections in the East End that I can take advantage of." Varina opened his mouth to say a big word.
Of course, he couldn't let others track him down, and he must have tried to mislead them, lest they really find out something.
Hearing Varina's answer, Zerrell looked much more excited, and asked with a smile:
"Would you like to help?"
"I still have some information about him here, maybe I can receive a photo in a few days, if you are willing to help, and when there is progress, we can share the honorarium, half of it!"
"Before answering this question, I need to know who the employer is and why I am looking for him?"
Varina strives to play the role of a cold bounty hunter, speaking in a flat tone and showing an attitude that is not far off.
Zerrell frowned, feeling a little unhappy, but thinking of the gold pound that might be in his hand, he still gave an answer:
"It's a student at Beckland University named Reyes Wilker."
"He claimed to be the young man's cousin, and as for why he was looking for someone, I don't think there was any other reason needed to find the missing relative."
"Well, do you want to help?"
"It's okay to help, but I'll get 70% of the honorarium."
Varina learns to bargain, after all, there is no bounty hunter who doesn't negotiate a price.
"I believe that with my connections, it won't be too difficult to find someone."
Zerell looked at Varina for a few seconds, and after feeling his strong confidence, he took a step back and said:
"You take sixty percent, this is my bottom line."
"Deal."
"At this time tomorrow, you come over with the materials, even if I officially join this commission."
Varina sat up from the couch and walked to the firing zone, ending the conversation with an action.
Behind him, Detective Zerrell shouted, "You haven't told me your name yet, what should I call you?" ”
"Lexa, bounty hunter Lexar Hunter."
This is the identity that Figoro gave him, and it is also the identity he registered with this club.
……
Around two p.m., Green Park Street.
Varina got out of the double-decker carriage and finally saw the long-lost sky through the faint haze.
The downtown area of Beckland is shrouded in thick smog all year round, and the sun is not seen for a few days a year, and Varina feels much better when she can see the clear sky in the suburbs.
A gust of wind blew, and Varina couldn't help but shiver, and half of her good mood was suddenly taken away by the wind.
The suburbs are much colder than the urban areas.
It's late November, and he doesn't feel cold when he's in the city without an overcoat, but now he's feeling a little chilly.
Fortunately, I'm in good health, and when I get out of exercise for a while, this little bit of coolness is nothing.
Varina got off the bus and walked a short distance to the entrance to Green Park by this street.
Hugh was already waiting near the entrance.
To his surprise, Furth also arrived, and both ladies wore an extra thick coat.
It seems that Furth is still a little uneasy about me, or was he pulled out of the door by Hugh Qiang?
There were no pedestrians on the street, and the two ladies noticed him while Varina was still in the distance.
Seeing this, Varina greeted loudly and exaggeratedly:
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen."
"I wonder if you see the sky in the suburbs, are you in a much more cheerful mood than me?"
Obviously, the two ladies would not respond to him from such a distance.
Oh no, Hugh beckoned to him.
When he got closer, Varina smiled and asked, "Where are we going?" ”
"Is it practicing in the park?"
Hugh shook his head, pointed further west, and replied, "Let's go over there, there's a wooded forest over there." ”
"There's also a cemetery." Furth added with a smile.
"Miss Furth, do you think I look like someone who fears spirits and ghosts?" Varina spread her hands, "I'm an 'assassin' who walks in the dark. ”
Furth shook his head and said casually, "Wouldn't it be more interesting for an assassin who is afraid of the dark?" ”
After speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, this idea is good, I want to write it down!" ”
She pulled out a dark red pen and a somewhat crumpled booklet from her body, and took down the inspiration she had just taken seriously.
"So you're a writer," Varina asked, pretending to have just found out, "I wonder what works you have?" ”
"Stormstorm."
Hugh interjected from the side, laughing and quipping: "I've already written two parts, and she promised me that the third part will definitely be a hit." ”
"Of course, that's what she assured me about every single one."
Varina didn't follow Hugh to make fun of Firth, but nodded very seriously, "Maybe it's going to be a big fire this time." ”
He didn't expect that "Stormwind Villa" was actually released in parts, and it is not popular yet?
Hugh said that the distance between the woods was not too far, and the three of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived.
It was an untended birch forest, and after a few moments of wandering around it, and after rubbing some white ash on their bodies, they finally found a large clearing.
Hugh took off his oversized coat and handed it to Forth, walked to the middle of the clearing, jumped, and said:
"Come on."
"Follow me through a few warm-up moves, and then start the official practice."
Varina nodded, stepping forward.
Meanwhile, Firth hugged his coat and retreated to the edge of the field, making way for the two.
