Recently, Yefar has been very chaotic, and Abu’s robber team has stopped doing robbery business. Instead, they have been hired by an organization as peripheral personnel, responsible for patrolling Yefar every day. When encountering suspicious people, they will be interrogated and tortured severely. Abu was very talented in this area, and it didn’t take long for him to take charge alone.
The last external job cost them a lot of manpower, but Abu’s current status is considered high in their organization. Because he saved a small group of demons due to having diarrhea that time, Abu now has great prestige in the team.
Although he was obviously just a demon born at the bottom of Yefar, with no father, mother, brothers, or sisters, but he was born proficient in many “smart” arts.
Abu is a demon who knows how to… well, he knows how to use his power for personal gain.
Thanks to this, life for Ji Huan and others isn’t so difficult.
For example, he will greet the demons he knows and take care of the little grey devil who would pass by;
If there were no demons he recognized in the market where Naji and Grandpa were, he would just go there and stroll around by himself;
Then recently, he has been coming to Ji Huan’s house for dinner every day.
With such a group of extremely ferocious demons visiting every day, the black cloaks around Ji Huan’s house became even more polite.
Nowadays, the life and death of the Nine Demons are unknown, and the second-generation demons in the organization have started various overt and covert battles. As members at the bottom of the organization’s pyramid, these black cloaks are also in a state of panic.
In order to thank Abu for his kindness, Ji Huan has been specially cooking a lot of meals every day recently, not only for Abu to eat, but also for Abu’s subordinates to eat together. Those demons dared not enter the door, so Ji Huan put their meal in big bowls, and then those demons would sit at the door with big bowls in their hands, chatting and eating.
“It’s so delicious!” This is Abu’s subordinate A.
“This is the legendary Green Shade Area! If it weren’t for this incident, I probably wouldn’t have dared to come here in my life.” This is Abu’s subordinate B.
“There are green plants in the yard! The soil here is indeed different from other places and can grow things!” Subordinate C didn’t look at anyone just now, he only looked at the vegetables in the yard.
“But…” The three demons held their rice bowls and trembled together.
“It’s really scary here!”
The extremely powerful magic pressure enveloped every inch of this street. If the owner hadn’t taken the initiative to open the door for them, they would have been sweating like rain just standing on this street.
Although they are still Abu’s subordinates at present, they also consider themselves powerful demons with a future, and they will be even more stronger in the future. But all the confidence they had before coming to this street, especially in front of this house….…
Completely disappeared.
“I heard it’s because of the magic foundation. Demons with a little bit of ability will get themselves a powerful monster corpse as a magic foundation when building a house, not to mention the demons in the Green Shade Area. Those who can buy a house here are all big demons with backgrounds.” Demon B is a well-informed person. He did some research before coming here. He is also the one responsible for collecting information during robberies.
“Boss knows a big demon who can afford to buy a house here. We will indeed have a promising future in following him.” Demon A isn’t very smart, but he has good physical strength. He feels that the demon he chose to follow has a promising future, so he feels very lucky.
“But… although the food made by the demon just now is delicious, but… we didn’t feel much magic pressure now…” Ji Huan at home does not wear a cloak, so in the eyes of Demon C, Ji Huan is just a gloomy ordinary demon with a little bit of magic.
Demon B paused, and then whispered: “Those are probably the family members of a big demon with a background…”
This sentence was overheard by Abu who happened to come out.
“‘Family member, you idiot!” Abu immediately swung his fist and punched Demon B on the head.
“My friend is the second boss of the testing area!” Abu said loudly.
In his opinion, Adan is the owner and boss of the testing area, so Ji Huan, the only employee in the testing area, is naturally the second in command, that is, the second boss~
Ji Huan, who was behind him: =-=
All three demons have been to the testing area and have reached their position with a little bit of experience. Although not high, they are no longer the novices who knew nothing before. They have also heard a little bit about Adan’s status in the testing area.
Now that old demon almost didn’t care about anything. The affairs of the testing area are almost entirely managed by that grey-cloaked demon, not to mention that the demon seemed to be carrying out some reforms recently. The scope of the reform violated the rules of the territory of the Nine Demons. However, the Nine Demons not only did not stop it, it is said that they even signed an agreement with the other party, this… this…
This is awesome!
When they heard that Ji Huan was the demon that wore a tattered grey cloak all day long, the three demons were in awe.
“Ah! These are freshly baked steamed pumpkins, one for each demon. Ji Huan gave it to you.” After reminding his subordinates, Abu started to do what he originally came here to do. He was here to share the pumpkins.
After dividing the pumpkins, he turned his head and saw Ji Huan behind him.
“Don’t pay attention to what they say. Many demons outside are afraid of you now! You are a demon with your own career.” Abu whispered.
Ji Huan nodded and then smiled at Abu.
“Ah Jin really helped me a lot.” He never denied this and was grateful for it.
Between Ah Jin and him, Ah Jin seems to have always been the one who gives.
Ah Jin has a lot of things, and he doesn’t seem to care about giving a little to others. Ji Huan is grateful for his generosity, but he doesn’t take it for granted. He has been looking for opportunities to repay the other person, and then he… finally seems to have found an opportunity… …
The relationship between the two people suddenly underwent a subtle change.
Ji Huan paused.
After the night that day, Ah Jin didn’t come back for the next few days.
Ji Huan…
Ji Huan and Hei Dan breathed a sigh of relief together.
But Abu seems to be quite concerned about Ah Jin’s whereabouts.
“That guy…won’t… just run away, right?” ← Even though he never told Ji Huan, Abu has always had this doubt in his heart.
“Hey, isn’t that guy rich? Like… really rich?” While chewing on a pumpkin, Abu suddenly said something incoherently.
Ji Huan glanced at him and saw that the two of them were in the yard now. Ji Huan was picking up vegetables, while Abu was nibbling on the pumpkin next to him.
“Hmm.” Ji Huan nodded.
That’s obvious.
“You have to be prepared, men become fickle when they have money.” Abu said again unexpectedly.
This time, Ji huan no longer felt confused like before, and suddenly, he pieced together all the words that Abu had said to him before.
Realising, Ji Huan’s face turned slightly red, and then black.
“Huh? You…how do you know?”
“Because that’s how smart I am.” After chewing the last pumpkin, Abu didn’t let go of the pumpkin seeds.
After chewing and swallowing them all, he wiped his mouth and said, “But don’t worry, I will continue to get promoted, and when I have more subordinates in the future, I can help you keep track of the other party’s whereabouts at all times.”
Then waving his hand from behind, Abu left in a cool manner.
Ji Huan: =-=
Should he say thanks?
Although he was a little bit startled and a bit embarrassed that he had been exposed, Ji Huan suddenly felt at ease as he watched Abu leave.
This is the sense of stability that comes from friendship.
He has never been so convinced as at this moment: he truly has a very good friend.
It is said that the Yefar’s demons are cold and fierce, but Ji Huan’s first few friendships in this world were all born here.
At this moment, Ji Huan suddenly felt a strong sense of belonging to this place.
Unlike family relationships, friendship is another nutrient that supports life in this world.
And……
Ah Jin didn’t just leave without any further news. On the first night after he didn’t come back, he suddenly sent a text message:
“Was the meat delicious?”
Thinking of the dead monster in the kitchen that looked like a murder scene, Ji Huan sent the other party photos of the various dishes he made using the monster’s meat.
Then there was really no news.
He couldn’t figure out Ah Jin’s thoughts in the past, and he still couldn’t figure it out now.
But…
If you can’t figure it out, there is no need to think about it. Ji Huan has never been a person who likes to worry about things. Watching Abu’s figure disappear from the street corner, Ji Huan was about to close the door when suddenly, another black figure of a demon appeared at the end of the street corner.
Although he was wearing a black cloak, Ji Huan recognized the other party’s identity at a glance——
It’s the demon named Colivan.
After Ah Jin left, he came here almost every day.
He wanted to see Ah Jin, but Ah Jin didn’t come back, and Ji Huan couldn’t reveal Ah Jin’s phone number to him. As a result, this person came to visit every evening (to block people by the way).
“Good evening.” Taking off his cloak, the other party took the initiative to say hello.
“Good evening.” Ji Huan replied to the other party, and said: “The person you are looking for is not here today either.”
The other party is looking for Ah Jin, and Ji Huan understands it very well.
After hesitating for a moment, he said what he had always wanted to say: “Actually, he is usually not here. Instead of looking for him here, you might as well go to Yuma City.”
The other party shook his head: “It’s the same when I see you. Regarding the recent credit rating plan in the testing area, perhaps I can take the lead to start a small collaboration with you.”
This is a gesture of goodwill.
Ji Huan’s credit rating plan was not very smooth from the beginning. Now that the Nine Demons incident has happened, although it is much smoother than before, he is still affected by the chaos within the organization.
Ji Huan paused. “Sure, but please go to the testing area to talk about this tomorrow.” He didn’t invite the other party to his home to talk about the matter on a whim.
The time and date of the matter must be in one’s own hands, and one cannot follow the other person’s schedule just because they are proposing something you urgently wants to talk about— this has always been Ah Jin’s way of doing things, who is a very organized person. Unknowingly, Ji Huan has been influenced by him.
“Okay, when will you be free then?” Colivan remained polite.
“Three o’clock in the afternoon.”
“No problem, I will see you tomorrow at three o’clock.”
“Ah, by the way, please help me pass this to Hei Dan.” Before leaving, the other party handed over a small paper bag.
Seeing that Ji Huan had accepted it, he put on his cloak and left. As he was about to reach the corner of the street, several demons wearing black cloaks surrounded him, and Ji Huan knew that they were his subordinates.
Ji Huan pursed his lips and carefully closed the door.
It’s very chaotic outside now, but as long as they are in this house, they are safe.
Ah Jin’s scent still lingers here, he can smell it, and other demons can smell it even more.
However, although Ah Jin left a text message and there was no further news from again, and although the situation in Yefar became tense due to the assassination of the Nine Demons…
But Ji Huan didn’t pay much attention.
Because something happened that concerned him more——
Glancing at the paper bag in his hand, Ji Huan walked towards the big house behind him.
“Hei Dan, someone brought a gift for you.” While calling softly, Ji Huan opened Hei Dan’s small room.
