Chapter 248 247.

After Inisha offered her own price, she carefully observed Lloyd's reaction.

Seeing that he was stunned on the spot for a few seconds, he didn't respond directly, as if he was shocked by his generous remuneration and sincere attitude, maybe he had already imagined a series of charming and ambiguous plots in his mind, right?

Hee-hee, what a cute and innocent teenager, and sure enough, this style is the most appetizing to me......

Inisha couldn't help but lick her lips, feeling that she was already sure that she had won, and Lloyd would definitely not be able to escape from her palm.

I couldn't help laughing at Olga twice, laughing at him for keeping his promise at such a time, and still maintaining the arrogance of a gentleman, he didn't know that he was secretly raising the price, and he was really a dead brain who only knew how to rely on the family.

In this important part of the eighth detachment, who would keep that verbal agreement?

Inisa's heart blossomed, and she couldn't help but secretly hum a little song, thinking about what kind of fancy she should play with her little cutie in the future?

She saw that Lloyd was still stunned, so she seized the opportunity and stretched out her finger to lift Lloyd's chin and make him look him directly into her eyes.

As a result, an invisible force suddenly appeared in the air, and unceremoniously slapped her hand away.

Hey? Is this the power of projection?

As a high-ranking powerhouse of the [Manifestation] system, even if Inisha is not involved in another route, it is not difficult to distinguish the power attribute of [Projection].

Is my cutie already involved in the [embodiment] system? Isn't that right? Isn't he only a second-order?

Wait a minute...... This power doesn't seem to come from him, but more like it comes from some mysterious and powerful being?

And in this vicinity, there is no sign of other strong people, indicating that the distance where that existence is at this moment must be very far away.

An being that can project power over such a long distance......

Sage?

The Shining City's Veto Sage?

Inisha felt her scalp tingle.

Why is there a sage behind this little guy guarding him?

He's obviously only a second-order, right?

Even if he has a special physique that can resist spiritual pollution, he is the best among the so-called 'qualified people', but he is really too tender to deserve the attention of the sage himself, and even take action for him, right?

After all, such gifted genius qualifications, although rare, are by no means unique in the long history of mankind.

Could it be that there are other qualities in him that can be valued by the Sage? Or does his talent deserve the constant gaze of the Sage?

Then it is not surprising that he can stay awake in [the story].

It's just that he must be in pain all the time being watched by the Sage like this and under such pressure, right? It's strange and pitiful to think about it, and I really want to take it into my arms and comfort it......

While thinking quickly in his heart, Messe Inisha looked down at his hand again, the back of his hand was already red, and there was some hot pain, indicating that the force of the previous moment was really not light.

Is the attitude very rude? But fortunately, it wasn't that Lloyd hated me, it was that the Sage behind him didn't like my style......

Damn, it's not going to ruin my big deal, is it?

I can only hope that the Veto Sage will not care about the slightest offense of my little Seventh Order.

Inisha suddenly felt remorseful in her heart, and she wished to give her face a solid face, and instantly put away the little evil thoughts about Lloyd.

It was at this time that Lloyd finally came to his senses.

His previous stunned was actually thinking about the wording in his heart, how to refuse the overly enthusiastic aunt in front of him.

Considering that the other party was a seventh-order powerhouse and an old friend of the housekeeper, of course his words had to be carefully considered, so he was stunned for a while.

As for the conditions offered by the other party, they are the same as the previous Olga bosses, they are all the same three fifth-order grade remunerations, which is indeed very generous; The attached conditions sound even more intimate than Olga's.

But Lloyd still chose to refuse without hesitation.

Because this man calls himself 'sister' in vain......

Even if you are older, you can forget it, but this alone is unbearable.

"Lady Inisa, I ...... just now"

Lloyd was about to say the excuse he had thought of before, but he saw that the other party suddenly put away the frivolous smile on his face, became solemn, and then stood up, waved his hand again, and hurriedly said:

"I was too abrupt just now, but I just saw that you were so cute, and I couldn't help but want to tease you...... Anyway, I didn't mean that, well, yes......

As for the invitation just now, you should think about it, and I will wait for your reply. ”

She said in a panic, and also left a business card, and prepared to leave.

But when he walked at the door, he gritted his teeth again, turned around and said:

"That guy Olga can't be trusted, he and his family have been secretly involved in some gray areas, if you don't want to be implicated, you'd better be cautious...... Oh yes, I also heard that he seems to prefer men from? ”

After saying something bad about others, she pushed the door and left.

Lloyd couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and didn't know where to start complaining.

How can you high-ranking bosses act in such a consistent style?

It's all generous, and then they say bad things about others behind their backs, regardless of the demeanor of a big guy at all......

But considering that this matter involves the eighth [detachment], it seems that it is not difficult to understand? Between the Eighth Order and the Grace, everyone will make a similar choice.

He was complaining in his heart, and then the butler's 'narration' came to his ears:

"Lloyd, are you done talking to them? Don't rush to say yes to any of them, wait until they're gone. ”

Lloyd then heard the sound of the engine of a steam car outside, and three high-end steam cars came to the door of the hotel one after another.

Then Olga took his nephew into the car and left, and before leaving, he could hear a burst of exclamations and angry curses:

"What? In the last story, that second-order rookie only took three seconds? How is this possible? Those girls are so cute, does he like men? ”

"Woman, woman, you are an unsuccessful loser, you died on a woman! We've lost all the face of our family! ”

Then it was Mess Enisa who came downstairs with her face, and she could still hear the discussion between them:

"Ma'am, you're not joking with me, are you? The speed of three seconds is obviously not in line with common sense, he is only second-order? ”

"Heh~ You idiot, you only know that little bit of textbook stuff, common sense? There are some people in this world who will not be bound by what you think is 'common sense', and after following me for so long, don't you even know this 'common sense'? It's really not a growth at all! ”

Belch...... They were all scolded so badly......

Lloyd listened to the sidelines, and they all sympathized with the two opponents.

It seems that it's not easy to be a follower to the big guy.,In this world.,Sure enough, you still have to rely on yourself.,Fortunately, I've always been a hard-working and motivated young person......

After sighing in his heart, he saw the housekeeper come to his room, and then sat down on the edge of the bed very casually, and said very sincerely:

"Thank you, Lloyd, for helping me, you never disappoint."

"You're so polite, it's nothing."

Lloyd waved his hand, smiled a little embarrassedly, and continued:

"If you hadn't persuaded Miss Desda to give my sister a job, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I always remember the kindness you and Miss had back then."

"After that...... Will you help me protect Miss Good? ”

The butler asked.

"Of course......"

Lloyd said, and when he sensed that something seemed to be wrong, he asked:

"You don't seem excited?"

"I've been excited."

The butler explained casually, then took out a pair of oiled paper bags and a check from his waist and handed them over.

"This is the reward promised to you before, [Veto] is the core material for the promotion to the fifth order-'The Time to Be Remembered', and this money was given to us by those two guys."

As he spoke, he briefly described to Lloyd the next abacus of the two old friends, so that Lloyd understood why they were so generous.

Of course, the ugliness of the quarrel between the two was omitted, which was regarded as saving some face for old friends.

But after hearing the cause and effect of this, Lloyd scratched his head and said with a little embarrassment:

"Uh...... But the reward they promised me was three or five grades? ”

He gave an overview of the bids of the two bigwigs just now, and added the link of 'saying bad things behind his back', and then specially explained:

"Of course, I don't mean to dislike your reward when I say this, and I don't do you a favor for it."

"Huh? How do they give so much? This is different from what they agreed to themselves, huh? ”

This time, the housekeeper was a little surprised, and then he sighed with tears and laughter:

"I really didn't expect my two old friends to be so cunning, and so generous and tacit, I originally deceived them in order to help you fight for as many interests as possible, and I still felt a little guilty, but I didn't expect it......

Sure enough, the guys who focus on the [story] route are all deceitful, but fortunately, you can also be regarded as the beneficiary of their 'tacit understanding'. ”

Lloyd couldn't help laughing, and then asked casually:

"Is the Eighth Order really that important? Is it worth it for them to come up with so many things in exchange for a favor? ”

"If it is changed to the conventional price, it is actually the share I gave you, but the two of them have stayed in the seventh order for too long, and their desire for the eighth order far exceeds mine, and the pressure and responsibility they have to bear are far heavier than mine."

Although the butler also thought it funny, he understood the actions of the two bigwigs better than Lloyd.
