Twilight War

Chapter 33 Drinking and lusting

Drinking greedily, why not get drunk.

01

The stairs of Paradise Lost creaked.

From the side of the railing, you can see women dancing in the middle of the dance floor and men throwing roses.Fragments of gold leaf slowly fell on the dancing men and women.

Huangxuan Jin slowly walked up the steps of the Lost Paradise to the top floor.

When the door was opened, the black widow was leaning on a chair with a bong in hand, with ledgers and rosters in front of her.

Seeing Huangxuanjin approaching, the black widow slowly raised her eyes: "Why do you have time to come?"

"Is there any suitable work recently?" Huang Xuanjin slumped on the swivel chair in front of the black widow, stepping on the legs of the table with black leather boots and turning around twice.

He has basically lost all his money recently, thinking about getting two votes and earning two money to support his family, otherwise he will really have to rely on Xiao Peizi to beg for a living to support him.

"No more money?" The black widow leaned on her beautiful chin and said, looking at Huang Xuanjin.

"Aren't you supposed to earn some money for my little Peizi's milk powder?" Huang Xuanjin was still swaying nonchalantly, as if he said absent-mindedly: "I know you won't be willing to let little Peizi starve to death on the street. "

"It would be nice if you didn't let your stupid dog keep you." The black widow lay back on the chair with a seductive posture. Although she was no longer young, her age-old style was even more fascinating.

"Sister, just tell me if you are alive or not."

"Would you like to be rewarded in the next life or in death?" Black Widow Manli exhaled enchantingly.

This is the slang here, life reward is the job of kidnapping a living person, and it is required to tie the person alive to the reward offerer. As for the degree of completeness, it depends on the specific requirements of the reward offerer. Some are just alive, and some must be completely rooted There is no shortage of hair strands.

The death reward is simple, as long as you kill the person that the bounty asks to kill, what letter you bring depends on the intention of the bounty, the letter is something that can prove that the person who was killed is dead, and most of them are the head of the bounty .

There are many people who are willing to do death rewards, and those who can do this are all desperadoes, who want to take a big living person across mountains and mountains to avoid being chased and killed!

Huangxuanjin never did life rewards, who the hell wants to hear the kidnapped people yelling and screaming along the way, it can't be bothering him to death.And some life rewards are actually downright dirty business.In fact, he never took the letter back when doing death rewards, for fear of dirtying his car.

There is a gold list in Ninth Street of the black market, the person who is offered a reward is called a lamb, and the person who accepts the reward is called a gold hunter.The bounty hunter told the middleman the lamb they wanted and the reward, and the middleman announced the lamb and the amount on the list.The Arrested Lamb was removed from the list.

Huang Xuanjin hadn't seen that list, but he heard from them that the top position on the hanging gold list hadn't been changed for several years, and he was the leader of the life reward and death reward list, and the bounty amount was frighteningly high.

But he really didn't think about accepting this reward. The amount of the reward is so high that no one can kill the lamb. That person must be very difficult to deal with.

It's just that he always felt that the person at the top of the list had a miserable life.

He really wanted to ask that person if there was blood and blood every day, and there was no peace.But this person is powerful enough to let others pay such a high price to kill him.

Every time he wanted to take a job, he would come directly to the Black Widow, and he would take whatever job the Black Widow gave him.He wondered if he should go to that list one day, so as to know who is so powerful.

"Is there anything else? I don't like seeing blood very much recently. Let's take it easy and pay back a lot of money." Huang Xuanjin looked at the black widow with a mean face, "Is there any such job? Give me Come two."

"Yes." Black Widow smiled slightly.

"Really? Come on, give me the information!"

"Sell yourself!" Black Widow said, holding a bong, "It's good to lie flat, and you won't be tired at all."

Huang Xuanjin lowered his head and glanced shyly at the Black Widow, "Then can you... ask me if anyone is willing to buy it?"

Black Widow: "..."

"If there is a beautiful girl who is willing to buy it, you tell her that I can buy it for free..." Huang Xuanjin lowered his head shyly, looking like a young daughter-in-law.

"Let me see if I have any guests with congenital vision defects. Maybe I can introduce two to you." The black widow looked at Huangxuan Jin and shook her head.

"Hey hey hey! Do you want to do this!" Huang Xuanjin roared.

"Every time I see you, I sigh. Fortunately, you are not the girl of my lost paradise. Otherwise, I would have smashed it in my hand. No pig is willing to give up the cabbage at home." The black widow sighed.

The black widow shook her head, "Forget it, but I really have a bounty here, and the bounty is too high."

At the end of the Ninth Street of the Black Market, there is an ancient god's family tree, but it never blooms, and it seems to be dead.Anyone who has a reward can write the reward and the reward on the wooden sign and hang it on the tree.This is the hanging tree reward.

Hanging wood rewards does not involve life or death.Other things than life and death can be hung on this.If someone is willing to accept the reward, just take off the wooden sign.After finishing, give the wooden sign to the intermediary, and the intermediary will hand over the bounty to the gold hunter.

Wooden cards that have not been picked up by gold hunters for a month will be automatically taken away by the intermediary.

Anything can be written on the Xuanmu Award, no matter how bizarre or vexatious.The amount is at least one copper coin, and it can be as much as any.

It's just that within one month, the person who hangs the wooden sign must not take it off again. Hanging the hanging wooden order is a decision.

Huang Xuanjin's eyes lit up immediately, "What job?"

"It was said that he was asked to steal something, but he didn't say what it was. But it shouldn't be easy to see how high the bounty is."

"Who is the reward offerer?" The rules of the black market are that unless the reward offerer agrees, the information of the reward offerer must never be disclosed, but Huang Xuanjin always feels a little uneasy about not knowing who the reward offerer is.

The Black Widow shook her head, "You know, as an intermediary, I cannot disclose the employer's information."

Huang Xuanjin looked at the black widow pitifully, "That's how you treat your cabbage, what if I'm so juicy and the cabbage is taken away by wolves?"

"I will put up lanterns and colorful lights, and be happy." The black widow said, "Besides, wolves don't eat cabbage, let alone you are not juicy."

"You will share one-tenth of the reward." Huang Xuanjin said with a sigh.

"You are also familiar with that businessman named Ben Liwen Tiberius who is known as the oil rat." The black widow said.

Ben Liwen Tiberius is a businessman in Vana. He is self-made, but he must not be underestimated. In more than ten years, he has changed from a black dealer who lost money from the abyss to a big businessman in the Vana Empire. .

Known as a oil rat, one is because of his cunning, cunning, worldly and tactful personality, and the other is because he still makes a living by selling the silver of the giant abyss, but he has made the underground black business to the surface.

Huangxuanjin knew him because he had dealt with him several times when he was smuggling the silver of the giant abyss. No wonder the business can do this.

"No." Huang Xuanjin waved his hand, "I don't like that oil rat very much."

The black widow slowly pushed the wooden sign with the amount of reward written on it, and Huang Xuanjin glanced at it, "Actually, that Ban Liwen is not very annoying, right?"

Black Widow smiled without saying a word.

"Alright, let's take over the job." Huang Xuanjin smiled lightly, "Where is the specific information? Is there any?"

"The mouse is in Paradise Lost right now, and he said that if someone is willing to pick it up, he can go down and find him tonight," said the black widow.

It seems that the mouse didn't want to hide his identity at all, and one tenth of his money was hacked by the black widow.

Since so much money has been hacked, it can't be cheap for Black Widow.

Huangxuan Jin lay on the rocking chair with his legs crossed, looking like a gentleman, "Go and talk to him first, and let me know when we're done."

02

The rooms on the upper floors of Paradise Lost are dimly lit.

The luxurious Baroque-style red dahlia curtains are tightly covered, not a ray of light can be revealed, only a few silver wall lamps are quietly burning.

Ban Liwen held the cue and played the billiards like a born aristocrat on that billiard table. He couldn't find any mistakes in his posture and technique.

He came out of the slums on Queen's Road in Collins, and spent more than ten years in the black abyss of silver trading before he made his appearance.As soon as I got some money, I quickly copied the lives of those nobles. From the beginning, I made a fuss over foie gras. Now, I can do it even if someone throws money from the sky. Hurry to pick it up.

Although he is called a fuel rat, his size is far from that of a rat. He looks like a round ball, and he can basically roll up on the table.But the posture of hitting the ball is very standard.

Having been on the tip of the sword for more than ten years, at least he has seen a lot of the big world, and he thinks that even in the face of Queen Vaner, he can be calm and calm.But he was a little panicked today, pretending to be playing, Ban Liwen lay on the table and looked at the man sitting on the dark red sofa by the light of the wall lamp.

The man has been sitting there with a cue in his hand but has never touched the table once. In the mall, we are used to people who can't play billiards and use a cue to pretend, but that man is very different.

The people in this room are all well-known businessmen from the Vana Empire. It stands to reason that even the queen would have to exchange a few words when she came, but that man always seemed to ignore anyone.

He has never said a word, but his arrogant attitude has never been ignored. Even under such a dim light, the man's facial features and expressions cannot be seen clearly, but he can still feel a strong coercion.

"Master Ban Liwen, do you have any questions?" The smiling man on the other side of the table looked here, and with a cue in his hand, he hit the ball into the hole.

Ban Liwen knew this man. He was a high-ranking official in the Arthur Empire. His name was Tang De. He was not a character to be trifled with.The other businessmen in the room who were playing ball were also the identities that the Vana Empire spoke of, but they were all born with golden spoons in their mouths. They looked down on him, who was doing black work from the slums. people who come out.

The light was dim, and the people in the room were talking in whispers under the guise of playing ball, reminiscent of ants living in the dark, touching their antennae and exchanging messages of candy.And the senior officer of the Arthur Empire, Tang De, was obviously not a businessman, but he had smoother edges and corners than a businessman, and he shuttled among several businessmen like a fish in water.

The clinking of billiard balls became the loudest sound in the room.

The man sitting on the sofa remained silent. He didn't know the man's identity, but he could guess from some details that the man was also a high-ranking official of the Arthur Empire, and the almost icy aura on him was not something ordinary people could have. , just getting close to it feels like it will be frozen into powder.

He was invited here by the Arthur officer named Tang De.In addition, the officer issued a tree reward in his capacity.

He still doesn't quite understand what's going on.

Since coming here, Tang De has been in charge of most of the things, and that man is rarely responsible for anything himself.

He couldn't see through that man, but Ban Liwen knew that he had better not delve into it too much. It was not unrelated to his keen intuition that he could survive until now in the black transaction of the Silver of the Abyss.

There was a knock on the door, and Ban Liwen looked back at the man sitting on the sofa. The man raised his eyes to indicate that he could open the door, and then Ban Liwen opened the door.He doesn't know the identity of a man yet, but he has already subconsciously respected a man, like an instinct.

Human beings sometimes have an instinctive obedience to the king, just like ants facing a lion.

The enchanting black widow standing outside the door made Ban Liwen couldn't help but feel flustered. Not everyone can see the proprietress of Paradise Lost. A glamorous proprietress, the black widow held a bong in her hand, "Master Tiberius, someone who is willing to accept your hanging tree order has been found."

"Oh! Good!" Ban Liwen went back to the room, looked at the man sitting on the sofa, and whispered next to the man, "My lord, someone has accepted the hanging wood reward."

"En" the man nodded, indicating that he already knew.

So Ban Liwen went back to the door again, "I wonder who took this job?"

The black widow smiled, inadvertently, she was full of flair, "You are familiar with the black man who often takes the business of the silver from the giant abyss. Two nautical miles behind the boat on a string. You know."

As soon as the black widow mentioned Ban Liwen, she understood that in the smuggling circle, Huangxuanjin had a very good reputation, but it was not a good reputation.

That time, because the goods given to him by the other party were deliberately wrong in purity, those people were dragged behind the boat and ran for two nautical miles. When they were picked up, three of them passed out, and the rest were half dead.

That guy is very unruly, he looks lazy and careless, but when he gets mad, he can kill people to death.But when it comes to stealing something, I'm afraid no one can compare with Huangxuan Jin.

He has seen Huang Xuanjin's skills before, that is a bird, a fish, no one can catch him.

"Bring it here. He is in Paradise Lost now." Ban Liwen said.

After closing the door, Ban Liwen continued to play his billiards, and the man on the sofa remained expressionless.The others were still doing their own thing, continuing to whisper in the dark.

They waited in the room for a long time, and Ban Liwen thought to himself that this Huangxuan Jin really didn't know how to flatter him. In the Vana Empire, he had no backing, but he was so arrogant, and he didn't know how he survived until now.

It stands to reason that Huang Xuanjin has offended many people, big and small, over the years, but he has never seen anyone who can do anything to him, which is really strange.

The light in the room was very dim. After waiting for a long time, Huangxuan Jin did not come over. Ban Liwen was a little anxious, afraid that the man sitting on the sofa would wait too long.But the man waited quietly with a glass of red wine as if he was very patient.

"Snapped."

The door of the room was suddenly opened, and a young man in the red military uniform of the Vana Empire walked in, and said as he walked in, "If you want to steal anything, tell me quickly, and pay for it as soon as you finish."

He still had that arrogant look that made him want to be beaten.

"You..." Huang Xuanjin raised his head, and found that there were many people in the room, and he was a little unhappy.

However, most of those people looked at her with dissatisfaction. He frowned, and was about to say something, but suddenly froze.

He looked at the man sitting in the corner who seemed to have forgotten what he was going to say, with his lips parted.

Then he suddenly smiled, showing the small canine teeth at the corners of his mouth, "Sorry, I went to the wrong room!" Then he turned around and wanted to leave.In the end, the lock on the door couldn't be unscrewed, so I could only smile and say apologetically, "Look, the doors in this room are all the same, and it's normal to go wrong....Why can't it be unlocked? Let Black Widow... change the lock."

"You didn't go wrong, you didn't go wrong!" Ban Liwen hurriedly stopped Huang Xuanjin.It was so hard to wait for someone, how could he let him go?

"Master Jin is already here, why bother to leave." Tang De looked at the young man in the red military uniform and said courteously.

"Why is this Huangxuanjin? What is he doing here?" A businessman said in a low voice to the people next to him.

"What's wrong?" The person beside him asked in a low voice.

"What's the matter? You don't know... this Huangxuanjin..." The merchants in the dark whispered, with mocking smiles on their lips, like animals lurking ferociously in the dark.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?" Tang De put down his billiard cue and looked at the boy who was twisting the doorknob and said.

Hearing Tang De's voice, Huangxuan Jin felt his back stiffen suddenly, forget it, it's too late to escape.

He found a place farthest from Wischpel and sat down.

So Ban Liwen saw the obedient and quiet version of Huangxuan Jin, which was completely inconsistent with the arrogant and arrogant image in Heping's impression, and even obediently put down the super presumptuous Erlang legs that were usually raised.

"My lord, can you tell me specifically why you came here this time..." Ban Liwen glanced at the man who was still motionless and said cautiously.

"Masters should have received the invitation letter from Earl Dodd." It was the Tang De officer who spoke.

Earl of Tudor, Huangxuan Jin, had heard about it. After inheriting the title, he began to use his status to start a business. He had contacts with many business people and made a lot of money.It seems that all the business is just a common business among nobles, but the queen has suspected him for a long time, and even sent many people to monitor the earl, but nothing was found.

"Earl Dude has been in the business world in recent years, and most of the people invited this time are people from the business world." Tang De said, while he was talking, he lowered his body and hit the ball on the table.

"Yes, I'm also flattered to receive the invitation from Earl Tudor." A businessman nodded, took the cue and hit the blue ball into the hole.

"Earl Tudor's mansion is in the mountains, away from the crowd, it's a secluded place." Tang De continued.

"I've heard about this, it's good to go and see this time." Ban Liwen said.

"I'm looking for you this time, and I hope you can introduce them to Earl Dudd. After all, Earl Dudd has not been involved in politics for many years. It is not easy for us to meet him." The red billiard ball fell into the hole In the middle, Tang De acted like a noble young master, with the corners of his mouth, but it made people feel not angry and arrogant.

Huang Xuanjin felt that it was meaningless to listen to it from the sidelines. He always hated this kind of occasion. A few people got together and talked for a long time. In fact, half of it was probing and politeness, which was extremely boring.

Several people were playing billiards, exchanging ideas back and forth, but in fact they were not focused on billiards.

He had once told Isabel that billiards were just beasts with bow ties.

Everyone with bow ties straight, expensive clubs in hand, coming and going with restrained grace.It looks like a gentleman's game, full of aristocratic atmosphere.

But in fact, from the table to the cue, to the ball, and even the posture is simply pornographic | especially in this dim environment, if nothing happens, I will be sorry for the ball on the table!Of course, what happened was that he was thrown out of the Palace of the Holy Rose by Isabel shouting beasts.

He lowered his head and chuckled, but suddenly felt eyes on him.

He raised his head slightly vigilantly, but saw that Wisipel was sitting in a dark corner of the room, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, the red wine swaying gently, lining his fingers like jade.

And the man was looking at him.
