Chapter 254: Chapter 131 Maid Gone Mad_2

"The landlady is so generous!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd, and a few wine ghosts immediately made their way to the bar, demanding the good stuff.

Lin Baici had no experience with searching a corpse, so he watched Xia Hongyao, but High Ponytail only found about twenty Meteorite Coins.

There were also three credit cards in the wallet, and over a thousand yuan in cash.

The cell phone was an Apple, and that needed to be taken back to the forensic department for unlocking; perhaps it contained important information.

"Here you go!"

Xia Hongyao handed over the seized items to Lin Baici.

Nangong Shu snapped her fingers, signaling the bartender to serve up three drinks.

"Come on, have a drink to steady your nerves."

The landlady slid the drinks over to Lin Baici.

"Your composure is way better than mine was back in the day!"

Xia Hongyao was envious; she had been nowhere near as composed as Lin Baici when she’d first started killing.

"What if they go after my family because I killed this guy?"

Lin Baici’s brows furrowed so deeply, they could have trapped a crab.

Last time he killed the Black Shark Triton duo, no one had seen it, but this time was different. However, given the choice again, he would still kill.

"My sister has already arranged for someone to protect your mother,"

Xia Hongyao said casually, which took Lin Baici by surprise, followed by a nod of acknowledgment, "Please thank Director Xia for me!"

"No need for thanks. You’re a rookie my sister has high hopes for. So, what do you say? Want to join the Bureau of Safety?"

Xia Hongyao spoke, full of expectation.

"Can you quit after joining?"

Lin Baici treated Xia Hongyao as a friend, so he didn’t beat around the bush.

"That... well..."

Xia Hongyao didn’t know how to respond. Joining the Bureau of Safety meant being privy to secrets, making it not so easy to leave.

"I’m worried about breaking the rules or something. Paying fines is a minor thing, but the key is no one would be happy afterward."

Lin Baici was concerned about this. Xia Hongyao had her sister to cover her, but he was on his own.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got your back!"

Xia Hongyao confidently patted her chest.

"Does Director Xia hold Little Linzi in high regard?"

Nangong Shu, following Xia Hongyao’s lead, casually called Lin Baici "Little Linzi."

"Of course! My sister offered him a genius recruitment clause!"

Xia Hongyao was proud because Lin Baici was the first person she took a liking to, which meant she had great judgment.

"..."

Nangong Shu, always graceful and beautiful, showed a hint of surprise on her face, her red lips forming an ’O’ shape.

She was a bit out of character. The reason was that Xia Hongmian’s name made waves in the entire God Hunter Circle; very few young people could garner her attention.

The genius recruitment clause Nangong Shu had heard of was so special that, on average, only one newbie every five years was worthy of it!

Lin Baici felt conflicted. Someone had arranged to protect his mother; the favor felt rather substantial.

"If you’re worried about your mother, you could issue a mission to protect her!"

Nangong Shu suggested, "Actually, you may be overthinking it. Although Lost Coast has a bad reputation, they wouldn’t take it out on an ordinary person—after all, such an act would be shameless and a major taboo.

Annihilating someone’s family stirs up vendettas that don’t end until death, making it difficult for such a person to mix in the God Hunter Circle afterward."

Because no one would want to cooperate with such individuals.

"How much would a mission like that typically cost?"

Lin Baici decided to spend money to secure safety, fearing the worst.

"One hundred Meteorite Coins, per year!"

Nangong Shu quoted a price.

"Then, please, Aunt Shu, could you issue a mission for me?"

Lin Baici took out a hundred Meteorite Coins from the Black Tripod Bowl and handed them to the landlady.

Nangong Shu was a bit surprised, "I didn’t see it coming; are you a bit of a rich kid?"

A hundred Meteorite Coins were a considerable sum of money.

"Heh."

Lin Baici now hated Lost Coast more than ever.

Damn it,

wasting these Meteorite Coins instead of buying Taboo things with them, isn’t that a better idea?

But then again, he thought, since he had already gotten a piece of God’s bones and a Divine Grace from Black Shark Triton, and now twenty-six more Meteorite Coins and a Dream Top from this young guy, he had made a huge profit.

"Little Lin, if you join the Bureau of Safety, someone will protect your family, and you won’t have to worry!"

Xia Hongyao persuaded.

"Sorry, can I think it over a bit more?"

Lin Baici was actually somewhat tempted, not for himself, but for his mother’s sake.

Nangong Shu became more interested in Lin Baici and wanted to chat with him, but before they could talk much, a middle-aged man pushed open the door and entered the bar.

"Yeehaw, the second delivery has arrived!"

Lin Baici immediately looked over.

A middle-aged man, with an ordinary face and casual clothes, looked like an office worker.

Is this guy also from Lost Coast?

Shen Fujiang sat down at the bar, "Give me a bottle of beer."

After ordering, he scanned the surroundings, his gaze lingering a few seconds longer on Nangong Shu and Xia Hongyao, as for Lin Baici?

Worthless trash!

"What flavor would you like?"

The bartender, true to his professional ethics, did not serve Shen Fujiang the most expensive beer automatically.

"Craft is fine," Shen Fujiang lit a cigarette, "Has there been a young man about this tall with a buzzcut here?"

Zhuang Du had heard that the landlady of Dragon and Beauty Bar was very beautiful and wanted to come and see for himself, but where was he?

Had he gone to the bathroom?

Upon hearing this, the bartender’s gaze instinctively went to Lin Baici.

Shen Fujiang, very alert, immediately caught this detail.

He knew Xia Hongyao and Lin Baici; in his eyes, Xia Hongyao was a prime target, and if Zhuang Du was attacked, she was likely the culprit. So, why did the bartender look at this young man?

What could he have done that I don’t know about?
