Chapter 552: Chapter 551: Four Strange People

Devin King couldn’t believe it, his mind went blank, and after such a long wait, it turned out to be this fisherman couple?

There was nothing particularly special about this fisherman couple either, not only were their clothes outdated, but they also seemed timid and shy.

He was utterly confused...

However, he still politely invited them into the car.

"May I ask your honorable names?" Devin asked as he drove.

"My name’s Kingsley Cooke, but you can just call me Dog Egg, and this is my wife, Dog Egg’s wife..."

"Alright..." Devin got choked up again, the wife’s name was simply Dog Egg’s wife.

"So, may I ask if you two know our team leader?"

"What team leader?" Dog Egg asked oddly. "What do you do?"

"Cough cough, you don’t know what I do?" Devin was utterly baffled.

"You’re government, right? Enough talk. We’re just entrusted by someone to help you assassinate a few people in Zhonghai, that’s all, don’t ask any more questions."

"No, I still have to ask." Devin was really overwhelmed, so he curiously said, "Do you two practice Qi, or do you have some special abilities?"

"Hehe, my wife won’t let me say, so I can’t tell you!" Dog Egg chuckled.

Devin’s face was filled with frustration, but he also realized that this couple was definitely pretending to be weak.

"By the way, when we get to the city, stop for a bit!" Dog Egg’s wife said.

"Sure sure sure, as you wish!" Devin nodded repeatedly.

The three of them quickly entered the city, and Dog Egg’s wife kept giving directions until they stopped in front of a small grocery store at the entrance of a residential area.

Just as the car came to a halt, the grocery store closed, and a man in his forties with a few boxes of milk jumped into the car.

"Here, take these. They’re expired, it would be a waste not to drink them..." He handed two boxes to Dog Egg and Dog Egg’s wife, and then gave one to Devin.

Devin’s sweat started pouring. Drink them although they’re expired?

"My name’s Kenelm Lopez, you’re Devin’s team, right? What’s this mess about, even for a trivial matter you call us?" This man wasn’t a fisherman and spoke boldly.

Devin had no choice but to drink the expired milk and said, "A lot of demons and ghosts have come from overseas, and we’re short-handed..."

"Hehe, how are we going to settle the losses of closing my small shop for these days?" Kenelm smiled and asked.

"One million!" This time, Devin didn’t hesitate and immediately offered one million.

"Alright, this trip seems worthwhile." Kenelm immediately smiled broadly.

"Let’s go, turn right, but hey, Mr. Lopez, why does this milk taste sour..." Dog Egg’s wife frowned.

"It’s expired, that’s why, but it won’t kill anyone..." Kenelm explained.

"It tastes pretty good." Dog Egg laughed on the side.

The car then got back onto the main road and soon after, a small road, and shortly after, they left the city area, but not in the direction of Zhonghai.

Devin didn’t ask, he would just follow wherever Dog Egg’s wife pointed.

After driving nearly thirty kilometers along the rural road, the van entered the yard of a town government office.

And just by chance, there was a Santana returning to the yard.

A man in his thirties, wearing a suit and tie, holding a briefcase, got out of the car and started greeting people in the yard.

"Mayor Danny..."

"Mayor Danny..."

The people who greeted him all called him Mayor Hart.

"I’m going to Zhonghai for business, and this trip might bring back some investment, so take care of things at home, will you?" As Mayor Hart spoke, he also climbed into the van.

This time, Devin King was truly shocked, damn, a mayor had actually shown up.

"Good day, Leader King, good day, my name is Danny Hart, please look after me in the future, I’ll look after you, I’m a Party member, I follow the leader’s orders, whatever the leader points at, I’ll hammer at!"

"You’re my leader, Sister Dog Egg, is there anyone else to pick up?" Devin King was completely on the verge of losing it. These four people, he couldn’t see anything special about them, they all seemed very ordinary.

"That’s all, drive slower, what kind of driving is that, making me carsick..." Sister Dog Egg grumbled discontentedly.

"This car’s too old, why don’t the five of us take my car? A Santana!" Mayor Hart offered proactively.

"Not a bad idea!" Before Devin King could speak, Kenelm Lopez, Dog Egg, and Sister Dog Egg had all jumped out.

Kenelm Lopez took the passenger seat, while Mayor Hart took the wheel.

Devin King stared for a while, then he had no choice but to squeeze into the back with Brother and Sister Dog Egg.

"Leader King, the car’s out of gas, do you have a fuel coupon? There’s a gas station up ahead, I left in such a hurry, I didn’t bring any money!"

"Fill it up, I’ve got it!" Devin King declared grandly, waving his hand—these bumpkins only recognized money!

Having filled up with gas, the car finally picked up speed, and Mayor Hart’s driving skills seemed quite good.

Devin King wanted to ask them several times what special skills they had, but he saw the four chatting in dialect, which seemed to be from around Guangxi, talking fast and urgently, he had no chance to butt in.

After getting on the highway, Sister Dog Egg grew tired, leaned on Dog Egg, and fell asleep, while Dog Egg puffed on his homemade tobacco, taking intermittent drags.

Mayor Hart seemed to have good taste and smoked soft Zhonghua cigarettes.

The convenience store owner Kenelm Lopez didn’t smoke, but eagerly started cracking sunflower seeds, where they came from, who knows.

"Leader King, although our village has developed well these past few years, there are quite a few people eyeing my position as mayor, you’ve got to help me find some investment in Zhonghai this trip, bring back a project to help the villagers get rich."

"How many years have you been mayor?" Devin King asked curiously.

"Twelve years, haven’t moved an inch, hehe," Danny Hart laughed.

"Once this mission’s complete, I’ll see if I can get you a position in the city, maybe a deputy mayor or something, if you’re interested. Aside from Hangzhou, any other city or county head position is available."

"No, no, I could’ve been an official long ago if I wanted. I don’t want to be, I just want to lead the common people to wealth, I don’t care about the rest, I just look after our village."

Devin King was speechless, this man really didn’t seem to want to be an official. Otherwise, knowing people in his group, getting a promotion to an official position would be easy, wouldn’t it?

"Do you know our group leader?" Devin King thought for a moment and then asked.

"Could I have come with you if I didn’t? Owe that bastard a favor, I can’t even dodge around for a bit of peace," Mayor Hart cursed.

"What about the other three?"

"They also owe him favors, or else who do you think could get us four to come along? Let me tell you, even though I’m the mayor, as long as I’ve done nothing wrong, not even the provincial governor can handle me!"

"I don’t owe him any favors." At that moment, Sister Dog Egg, who had been snoring with her eyes closed, suddenly spoke as if she was talking in her sleep. "It’s just that he used to fancy me. In the end, I married Dog Egg, and I felt like it really hurt him, so that’s why I’m helping him!"

"Pff—" Devin King rolled his eyes. He nearly choked himself to death trying to suppress his laughter.

"Our group leader sure has good taste," Devin King finally caught his breath after a while and even threw in a flattering comment.

"Hehe, my wife used to have quite the admirers..." Dog Egg chuckled naively.

"He doesn’t believe it!" Kenelm Lopez, who sat cracking seeds in the passenger seat, laughed, "He doesn’t believe anyone besides Dog Egg could like Sister Dog Egg!"

"Come on, what kind of taste is that." Mayor Hart and Dog Egg looked disdainfully at Devin King!

Devin King shivered, as he noticed the freckles on Sister Dog Egg’s face—their group leader really had a unique taste indeed!
