Chapter 144 Wind and Rain Auction House
Owen looked at Lu Fan who suddenly appeared in front of him, he had already appeared in front of his eyes before he even reacted, and he had already tried to break free the moment his fist was caught, but the hand that was holding his elbow did not move at all.
"Presumably this is Mr. Lu Fan. Owen suddenly laughed, took a few steps back, and raised his other hand, indicating that he was no longer moving.
Lu Fan didn't pay attention to Owen, loosened his elbow and looked at Qian, who had already stood up behind him: "It's okay." ”
The black-haired girl nodded slightly, she naturally saw that Lu Fan helped her block this punch, otherwise she was afraid that she would be hit.
"You know us?"
Seeing that the girl was indeed fine, Lu Fan relieved himself, turned his head to look at Owen and asked.
Owen shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he hated the innocent: "Some people in the branch of Ah Li Town have reported the incident there, if you have the heart to investigate, you can still know something......"
Mercenary Guild?
Lu Fan was a little surprised, there was really someone who had a heart to report some of the things he had done, but he didn't know how far the Mercenary Guild could investigate......
"I just saw your ......," Owen said, looking at the dark-haired girl.
"Apprentice. ”
"Sister. ”
Two voices sounded at the same time, Lu Fan glanced at Qian awkwardly, and had to nod: "It's an apprentice." ”
“...... Seeing Your Excellency's apprentice, using the Yuan Qi technique, I was a little itchy, and I tried my hand on the field, and some didn't keep my hand, so I apologize first. Owen glanced at the two of them a little strangely, continued, and waved his hand at the examiner, "Naturally, Miss Akane passed the test, and now it's ......"
Owen took the document handed over by the man and showed it in his hand: "Miss Qian is now the official mercenary determined by the Mercenary Guild, and the current mercenary strength level is 4. ”
"Level 4?" Lu Fan was a little strange, didn't he say that the mercenary's strength level matched the person's own level?
Owen seemed to understand Lu Fan's doubts, handed the document into Qian's hand, and explained: "I think Miss Qian's actual strength is enough, so naturally she can have a level 4 mercenary certificate, which is also considered some of my personal energy, even if I apologized for my mistake just now." ”
"That's a thank you. Lu Fan nodded suspiciously, he always felt that the purpose of this president was a little impure, but he hadn't made any actual moves so far, so naturally he couldn't say anything, so he thanked him and prepared to leave.
"Wait, doesn't Mr. Lu Fan need to re-verify the mercenary level?"
Looking at the two people who picked up the giant sword next to the wall and were about to leave, Owen said suddenly.
"Thanks, I think it's good to be an apprentice......"
Lu Fan turned to the side slightly, shook his head and rejected Owen's proposal, and turned to leave.
Owen didn't say anything more, his eyes fixed on the already empty door, as if thinking about something.
"President, why do you care so much about ......" The examiner who had been watching next to him finally couldn't help it and asked curiously.
"The man...... It's not easy. Owen took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and put it in his mouth, as if he was talking to the examiner, and as if he was saying to himself: "There is no vitality fluctuation but there is speed and strength that I can't see clearly, the Cheng family values them, and the news that just came from Ah Li Town today...... This kind of person, I don't know what kind of storm will be set off when I get here. ”
When Owen thought that Cheng Chengyi, the head of the split family, came to find him in person, he didn't seem to particularly care about this Lu Fan, which made him a little uneasy......
"Sir, is there anything wrong with that president?"
Walking on the street, Qian took the document and looked at it a few times, and after putting it into the space ring, she asked Lu Fan curiously.
"I don't know, but I always feel that he is weird, as if he has some purpose......" Lu Fan shook his head, after all, it was just a feeling, and there was no actual evidence.
"What's the purpose...... Akane also whispered, helping the sword behind her.
The map has already been loaded, and it's time to see where Cheng Moyin is.
While thinking, Lu Fan's eyes began to load the map of the city.
"Auction house?"
......
Turn back the clock a bit.
"I didn't expect that as soon as we came back, we would come to trouble Sister Li and Brother Sang...... them."
Cheng Moyin looked at the magic crystal auction house in front of him and said with some emotion.
"This is also a matter of no choice, after all, only this is the auction house privately sponsored by Miss, even if the Cheng family sends someone to take over, the control will be far weaker than in other places. ”
Uncle Zhong smiled and was about to step forward.
"Wait a minute. ”
Cheng Moyin suddenly said softly, stopping Uncle Zhong's behavior.
Although Uncle Zhong was strange, he didn't ask much, and continued to walk forward with Cheng Moyin.
The two turned an alley, and Cheng Moyin said softly: "Someone is monitoring that auction house, if we stop for a while just now, it is estimated that they will be able to see it." ”
Miss's perception is already so keen?
Uncle Zhong nodded, and he was slightly shocked in his heart.
Even though the perception of magicians is generally stronger than that of swordsmen, I didn't notice that someone was watching me just now, did the young lady actually notice......
"We went in through a closed side door and I knew the location. ”
Cheng Moyin said and pointed in one direction.
Uncle Zhong nodded, looking at Cheng Moyin's back, and felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Lady has become stronger......
In a room inside the auction house, a woman is jotting down something in a book, which appears to be a bill.
"Knock knock. ”
There was a knock on the door, but the woman did not look up, but shouted to please come in.
The door creaked open and closed again, and Cheng Moyin walked in, but he didn't rush to speak, just sat on a nearby chair.
The woman originally thought that she was the one who reported the work of the auction house, but there was no sound for a long time before she raised her head.
Suddenly, the woman's face showed joy.
"Miss, you're back?"
Before Cheng Moyin could wait, the woman showed a hint of worry again, and everyone stood up: "Miss, why are you back now, the Zong family is looking for you to settle accounts, and the family will do everything possible to kill you......"
"Sister Li, I'...... I'm fine" Cheng Moyin also stood up and saluted the woman.
"What are you doing. The woman named Sister Li hurriedly helped Cheng Moyin up, and the two sat on the chairs next to them
"In the days when I'm away, I'd better ask you and Brother Sang to help me take care of this place......" Cheng Moyin smiled slightly, and asked again, "Speaking of which, what about Brother Sang?"
"He...... He's still dealing with those who split the family, since the news of your escape from the Rhodes family came out, the Cheng family has begun to speed up their erosion of the property that the young lady left for the family. ”
Sister Li shook her head, pointed out the current situation, seemed to think of something, and asked Cheng Moyin again: "I don't know what you think, Miss......?"
"I want to be the head of the house......"
"That's right, I think you have to avoid the limelight first, and then ...... it."
Sister Li was talking down, and was suddenly stunned, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
"Miss, what did you just say...... The head of the house?"
Cheng Moyin nodded lightly.
"Yes, it's the head of the house. ”
Sister Li's face underwent a wonderful transformation, first in disbelief, then with some relief, and then into an excited expression.
"As long as the young lady is willing, I will naturally do my best! ”
With a hint of excitement, Sister Li said this.
"Thank you, Sister Li. Cheng Moyin hurriedly said. She didn't expect Sister Li to be so excited.
"Miss doesn't know, in fact, many people ...... I have long thought that the young lady is the real head of the house. Sister Li thought for a moment, but still spoke.
“......”
Hearing Sister Li's words, Cheng Moyin was silent, she remembered that before she was sent to the Wusa Empire, her grandfather looked at her every day.
It was a look full of jealousy and no family affection.
And his younger brother, Cheng Moxing, has never been willing to get close to him since he was sensible, and he didn't have much time to contact him because he was studying magic and busy with his family business, which led to this situation.
Starting from the management of the family, he vigorously developed the magic crystal-related industries, and in just a few years, he took over most of the mercenaries' magic crystal sales, which cannot be said to be very powerful, but it can also be said to be thriving.
Even the cooperation of the Rhodes family was facilitated in order to compete for the domestic magic crystal market, but he became one of the trade goods, and he sent himself to the Usa Empire.
"As long as the young lady returns to Cheng's house and initiates the order, I believe that many people will be willing to respond, the current head of the family is old, even if he can manage it for a while, he can't manage it for too long. ”
I have to say that Sister Li entered the role very quickly, and she began to give advice to Cheng Moyin in an instant.
At this moment, Uncle Zhong's voice suddenly came to mind outside the door.
"Miss, there is a case"
......
"Wind and Rain"
Lu Fan looked at this sign and couldn't help but joke a little: "I didn't expect an auction house to come up with this name, is the wind and rain coming?"
Akane just wanted to say something, but seemed to sense something and looked at the side of the street.
Lu Fan also felt that a group of people seemed to appear on the side of the street, as if they were ......
The Cheng family's soldiers?
Coming at the two of you?
"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with us. ”
Lu Fan stretched out his hand to stop the girl who had already touched the giant sword behind her, pretending that nothing had happened, and missed the group slightly.
"What auction house are they aiming for?"
Akane watched a leader-like person walk directly into the wind and rain, and said softly.
"It may have something to do with Miss Cheng and them, and they acted on the opportunity. ”
Lu Fan looked at the map, and the icons of Cheng Moyin and the two were still in the auction house, and said in a low voice.
Qian also nodded, and temporarily blended into the crowd with Lu Fan, observing the situation at the door.
"Why did the people from the Cheng family get here so quickly?"
Inside the house, Sister Li asked Uncle Zhong anxiously, but Uncle Zhong could only shake his head.
Cheng Moyin was not flustered: "Actually, I've been in the city for so long, and it's strange to find me now, I go back early and late, and there is no problem now." ”
