"Octo King..." Lou Yusheng silently repeated the name, but his expression was buried in the shadows.

The azure gem had already been locked in his briefcase. Logically speaking, he hadn't paid the final payment yet, so Ivan shouldn't have let him hold the gem so quickly.

But Ivan now looks as if he has completely forgotten the rules of business.

Lou Yusheng pursed his lips. Ivan's team had already completed his task perfectly, and now they only need to wait for Lou Yusheng to pay the final payment, and they will clear the money and goods.

"Forget it, murdering and stabbing King Octot is a felony, even if I think about it, I can't do this kind of behavior that arouses the anger of the people of the Kingdom of Octot..." Lou Yusheng subconsciously touched his shoulder, hesitated and said He said, "You don't have to worry about the shoulder repair, I will handle it myself. Let's see how I settle the balance with you, shall we?"

Ivan paused for a moment, staring at his side face without blinking, as if to confirm whether what he said was serious, that gaze made Lou Yusheng sullenly feel like his ears were shaking. It's about to get hot.

It was obviously only a few seconds, but the inexplicably depressing atmosphere made Lou Yusheng feel that the time had become infinitely long.

"The tail money is not a small sum, can you raise it now?" Just when Lou Yusheng was about to lose his composure, Ivan slowly broke the dull atmosphere.

His eyes were calm as usual, but his attitude was unpredictable.

"For cash, I can take it out for you in the capital of Octet. After all, compared to the task you completed so quickly, money is a trivial matter." Lou Yusheng remembered that Qi Yinan valued it more than anyone else. With the character of money, he hesitated for a while and decided to tell the truth.

"It's so refreshing, I can't tell... So you are a rich man, but that's okay." Ivan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I should be able to reach Oct's capital 'Zhangdu' tonight. Can."

For some reason, although Ivan's tone was normal, Lou Yusheng felt as if his heart was being twisted.

But King Oct's matter had nothing to do with Ivan, and he didn't want to involve him.

In fact, Zhangdu was not a long-term place for Lou Yusheng himself.

The procedure of withdrawing money was very smooth, but when Ivan took the box, he held that hand and paused.

The raised bright green eyes held a hesitation that even its owner didn't know: "Our Ghost Hunting Guild treats you to a drink, a toast to such a refreshing employer."

After speaking, he raised his chin towards the bar across the corner from where they stayed.

Lou Yusheng felt that Ivan's attitude tonight was extremely strange. He clearly said "our Ghost Hunting Guild", but they were the only two people who entered the bar.

But Lou Yusheng didn't expect to meet acquaintances in this bar.

"Huh, Jonas?"

Cosmic superstar Jonas looked at the familiar splicing monster Raul in surprise, but his expression changed from surprise to horror when he saw the man following him.

The man with chestnut hair and green eyes leaned casually against the table, drinking a glass of amber spirits alone.It was the bitterest wine in this bar, but the strong color in the glass was no match for the coldness in his eyes.

If you only look at his leisurely silhouette, any lady will definitely fall into his masculine charm.

But when they come into contact with those eyes, it will make most people feel as if they have fallen into an ice cave, and they will avoid them.

Well, Jonas rubbed his eyes to make sure he had an exception right in front of him.

He grabbed Lou Yusheng, his voice was so low that he could hardly hear him: "Are you crazy, why are you still alone with him? Aren't you afraid that he—"

Jonas made a chopping action of "chopping into eight pieces" in a timely manner, the meaning was concise and clear.

Apparently, the scene of Iwan pointing a gun at Lou Yusheng's head as soon as they met made him so impressed that he even forgot the persona he set up in front of Ivan at that time.

Before he had time to finish his good words, he heard Ivan's chilly voice from behind: "...the old age certificate of the cosmic superstar Jonas? Oh, it seems that I am ignorant."

Jonas turned his head stiffly, and saw that Ivan was holding the old age certificate that he had put on the bar when he was showing off with the bartender, and the bartender who had no eyesight was still bragging about his relationship with the superstar Dude, every time Jonas comes to the Oct Kingdom to perform, he will come here to drink or something...

In a matter of minutes, Jonas' life experience was completely explained!

However, while listening, Ivan shook the wine glass with one hand, and read the content on the old age certificate line by line with great interest.

At the end, he glanced at the duo of "godfather and godson" who were in a mess, his eyes lingered for a moment on Jonas' face, which had obviously been drinking, and finally raised the corners of his mouth: "It's really a 50-year-old goblin pretending to be a child." Thank you for your hard work...it turns out that I was deceived."

He drank the spirits in the glass, then threw the empty glass on the bar, and approached Lou Yusheng: "I hate people cheating on me, and you are no exception."

He weighed the gold coin box in his hand, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "But maybe I forgot, you are a businessman, and you are very clear about maximizing your profits."

After finishing speaking, he left the wine money for two people and left without looking back.

"..."

"..."

The bartender looked at Lou Yusheng and Jonas who were frozen like puppets, and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Um... did I say something wrong just now?"

In fact, Lou Yusheng's face froze from the moment Iwan said the first sentence.

That's right, he should have thought that Ivan in this world is the leader of the Ghost Hunting Guild, and he would value the spirit of contract more than anyone else.Originally, the relationship between the two was a little delicate, but now Ivan discovered the lie he told before——

This time, the play spirit possessed can't be saved!

"It's terrible..." Lou Yusheng covered her face, her voice was bitter and exhausted, "What should I do now..."

Jonas gritted his teeth: "Now, there is only one way to win back his heart. I mean, if you really don't consider taking this opportunity to break contact with him and insist on moving forward." His last sentence He spoke extremely quickly and in a low voice, "But even the stupid Titans can see your thoughtfulness, I think you won't listen no matter how much I persuade you, why don't you give me a hand, hey! Bartender!"

With an angry roar, the bartender saw Jonas standing on the chair with a cleverness.

He pointed at the shelf aggressively: "This, this, and the one above, yes, yes, yes, these kinds of wines are all mixed together!" He turned his head to look at Lou Yusheng, the baby's face squeezed A vicious grin came out, "You don't need me to teach you to pretend to be crazy by drinking, young man?"

At this time, in the foothold of the Ghost Hunting Guild, the members of the Guild were spending a relaxing night.

Hailey's long hair was braided into a wreath-like delicate and complicated hair by Stephen's hand, and the green tree buds were interspersed and braided in the middle of the silver hair, perfectly setting off her elf-inherited beauty Extremely.

Because of his developed upper arm strength, Stephen has always cooperated well with Haili in her squad, but only the members of the squad know that Stephen is a tall and burly guy who has grown a healthy tendon in vain. In fact, the girl is not very good at thinking, even so clever that she looks like a noble lady.

In this comparison, Hai Li, who is slow in emotional intelligence and poor in handwork, is like a straight man of steel in front of him, with only a good-looking elf face.

"Hailey, does this look good?" Stephen rubbed his big rough hands nervously, looking at Haili carefully.

"It's amazing!" Haili showed a rare smile, and took a mirror to look at the front and back, "I thought it would be too troublesome to comb my hair every day, but recently I was thinking of cutting it into a hair that is convenient for missions like Master Ivan. Here comes the hairstyle."

What she said casually made everyone in the squad turn pale.

... Lord Ivan's hairstyle? ?

"But your braided hair is so beautiful, I suddenly changed my mind, so I don't want to cut it for now." Hai Li's words made Stephen heave a sigh of relief.Although he was sure that even short-haired Hailey would be beautiful, but in his heart he still wanted to braid long-haired Hailey's hair.

Ivan watched the team members laughing and teasing in a relaxed manner, but felt that this time he was not as comfortable as finishing a business after completing the task as usual.

He even lacked interest in counting money, which he loved most. It was already halfway through the night, but the box of gold coins had been thrown aside.

Ivan twirled the ring on his finger, the only different reward in the box of gold coins.

The black cat's-eye gem has a hint of blue color under the light. This familiar color evokes a pair of unforgettable eyes in his mind.

"Hailey, what is our total reward for this mission?"

Haili was stunned by Ivan's thoughtless question.

This is definitely not a question that the boss would ask. Hai Li looked puzzled: "Didn't you finish counting yourself? Is there something wrong with Wei Jin?"

Ivan twirled the ring boredly: "I didn't count at all. I don't know what happened tonight. I'm in a strange mood...Counting money seems to have become boring to me."

The last sentence made John pick his ears in disbelief. Has Mr. Ivan been suddenly dropped?

You must know that Ivan has always been a cold-blooded animal with interests above all else, and his reputation for getting into the pockets of money is well known throughout Peria City.

Not to mention that he almost directly killed an employer who was in arrears with the mission payment. This is already a legend among the employment guilds.

Only a few of them from the Ghost Hunting Guild know that this is not an urban legend, it is a real thing that happened a few months ago!

Even... Ivan has turned his face more than once because of his employer's financial dishonesty.

Other guilds also privately gave Ivan the nickname "Dragon Descendant". Although the last dragon family has long been extinct from this world, anyone who has seen Ivan's way of collecting money will agree that he is really like A giant dragon perched on gold coins and jewels.

How can such a person who only thinks about maximizing profits get bored with his favorite thing, counting money?

This is simply the most ridiculous thing a few of them have ever heard!

John and Hayley, who had guessed something, looked at each other in dismay, and a thought arose in their hearts.

John tentatively asked: "Is it... related to the employer, uh, I mean the pharmacist?"

Ivan paused the movement of his hands, looked up at John, and motioned for him to continue talking.

"I think the reward for this mission is no longer measurable with gold coins." After all, you don't care about the box of gold coins with your distraught look!John complained in his heart, and hinted as cautiously as possible: "In this case, you should ask for more from the pharmacist."

"...More?" Ivan touched his chin, seemingly distressed, "But I almost beat him up just now."

……What? ?

Cold sweat was about to drip from John and the others, and it was already hard to tell whether Ivan and Lou Yusheng were flirting or enemies meeting each other.

No matter how dull the steel-like straight male cancer Haili is, she can see the crux of the boss's troubles: "Anyway, let's apologize, but the pharmacist has a temper, I don't know if he will listen to explanations." She pondered After a while, he patted his leg, "It's okay, if you don't listen to the explanation, just use your actions to make him listen!"

Listening to Haili's simple and rude suggestion, Ivan twirled the ring thoughtfully.

So when Lou Yusheng was poured into eyes, and just stepped out of the door of the bar, he saw the person he had planned to go to "Night Attack" standing in the shadows, waiting for him.

Ivan was still a few steps away from him, and smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body, and frowned: "How much have you drunk?"

Lou Yusheng raised his finger and compared with him.

"I'll settle the score with you next time, big star of the universe." Ivan's expression darkened suddenly, and he glanced coldly at Jonas and the bartender, making the two of them tremble, and then went upstairs without saying a word. Yu Sheng hugged her whole body.

"...Hey, what are you doing?" Lou Yusheng felt that Jonas's level of bartending was really harmful, and his head was spinning, but Ivan even took the opportunity to give him a princess hug.

Ivan glanced at the drunken man covering his forehead: "What are you doing? Of course, I want to prevent you from sleeping in the trash can on the street corner."

"..."

The feng shui turns, the former cardinal archbishop/now drunk pharmacist only thinks that they have to pay back when they come out to mess around.The little kitten I held in my princess's arms was getting fiercer every day...

When Ivan put the man on his bed, he wrinkled his nose belatedly: "The smell of alcohol on your body is too strong. Is the metabolic function of the goblin's digestive system so poor?"

Lou Yusheng's eyes narrowed drunkenly, and he blurted out words that he would never say normally: "There is no way, after all, it is spliced ​​goods, and many of them are leftovers... there must be some problems."

Ivan pursed his lips and stared at him for a moment, then bent down, touched his hot cheek with one hand, and started to unbutton his shirt with the other hand.

The half-supported posture on the bed made his shoulders wider and his waist narrower, like a cheetah sizing up its prey.

"I said those things, so...you just use wine to drown your sorrows?"

Lou Yusheng half-closed his eyes, and when Ivan unbuttoned his shirt completely, he pulled him towards him in a drunken way——

"It's not drinking to drown your sorrows, it's drunken sex, idiot."
