“Hmm, has the job stabilized yet?” The black-haired man looked out the window casually while speaking on the phone.
The weather outside was nice. From this angle, you can see a large green lawn with many small paths for people to walk on. At this moment, many demons were carrying things through these paths, and the red haired female subordinate was directing them.
The sun was very dazzling today. Of course, it was harmless. It was not like the intense sunlight near Yefar. Although the sunlight here was dazzling, it was very comfortable. Many people specially set up lounge chairs at home to enjoy the sunlight at this time.
The black-haired man’s new home has such a set of white seats, quietly displayed on the green lawn, looking very beautiful.
Many porters look enviously at the direction of the seats when passing by, but they dare not sit casually.
But the person who can sit on this set of chairs and enjoy the sun to his heart’s content was completely indifferent to it.
The sunlight became more intense, and part of it shone on his leather shoes through the window.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he stepped back, and stood in the room where the sun couldn’t reach.
People who are born in Yefar do not like sunlight.
Since they were young, they are used to covering their whole bodies with heavy cloaks, and they are used to the days when they don’t see sunlight.
Looking out of the sunny window, the black-haired man was startled and suddenly spoke, “I think we need curtains for the new house. Do you have any suggestions for the color?”
“Is it green? Good idea. The lawn outside the window is also green. The combination of the two should be very suitable.”
In the somewhat dark room, the deep laughter of the black-haired man occasionally came from inside.
“Was the demon’s insurance used? Apart from him, several robbers suffered serious injuries and were completely irresponsible. Only he stayed at the hospital in town because he had insurance? Hehe, tell him that if you want to make money, you must be willing to spend money. There is no need to save the money you should spend.”
The black-haired man talked on the phone happily for a while, until the designer knocked on the door and interrupted him.
Next, when the designer asked the dark-haired man what color he wanted for the room, the answer was green.
When the designer was rearranging the house according to the black-haired man’s preference, the black-haired man sat in the office of the new house to receive guests.
There were two guests, both of whom were familiar faces. They are the two demons named Nan and Xue introduced to Ah Jin in the party held in Croger’s castle.
However, unlike the last time they met, both of them looked a bit uneasy.
They brought many gifts, including the tea in front of the black-haired demon at the moment.
“I heard that you like drinks made from various plants. This time, we specially brought the famous plants of our clan here. They only grow in the nest where the clan has lived for more than one hundred years, and haven’t been cleaned for that much time…You see, our people are very hardworking, and are accustomed to trading everywhere. To be able to keep their homes for a hundred years is really…”
The dark-haired man’s prudent eyes moved from the black tea in front of him to Nan’s face who was talking, and stopped moving.
“Tell me exactly why you came here. I won’t accept any gift from you until you explain.” The black-haired man stared straight at the two demons with stagnant black eyes, and said slowly.
The two demons looked at each other, and finally the demon named Xue stood up.
“It’s like this, you entrusted us to transport a total of 120 collections, and the 119 pieces have arrived so far, only one…” The thin demon pursed his lips, finally raised his head, and spoke in one breath: “The collection of pocket watches named Roma’s Heart was robbed during transportation. We killed several robbers on the spot, but when we investigated their whereabouts along with the bodies of these robbers, we found that most of them came from Yefar. Afterwards, there were no clues left. In the following days, we searched the black market everywhere for news of Roma’s Heart, but by the time we traced them down, we were one step late and the pocket watch had already been bought by then——”
Those jet-black eyes were still staring straight at him without any waves, just like before. Under the gaze, Xue, who has always been eloquent, found that he was completely unable to make any sophistry, without waiting for the other party to further question him, he gritted his teeth and unknowingly said all the remaining things.
It’s like being hypnotized —— afterwards, he shared this feeling with his younger brother.
“Your collection… was bought by Mrs. Cantaro.” Xue said everything, and met the other party’s dark eyes, his gaze flickering.
The pitch black eyes stared at him for a moment again, and then the black haired man behind the huge brown desk suddenly stood up, carrying the tea in front of him. He placed the tea in front of Xue.
Then he smiled slightly.
“Don’t be nervous, drink some tea.”
“Thank you, here I have…” Xue looked at the teacup in front of him reflexively, and then realized that probably because he was too nervous before, his teacup was already empty.
He nervously picked up the tea handed over by the other party, and drank it one gulp.
After drinking this cup of tea, Xue has almost returned to normal.
“We have sent someone to negotiate with Mrs. Cantaro. Don’t worry, no matter how much it costs, we will definitely get the collection back for you. We will not let those robbers go. We must give you an explanation—” When he said this, a ruthless look appeared on Xue’s dry and thin face.
The collection escorted by the security company, which is apparently a serious business, has been robbed by gangsters! And it’s still the business of a new client. Although this Mr. Firzaha’s foundation is still shallow, no one can figure out his background. Xue himself managed to win this client through his clan brother’s connection. As a result, such a thing happened in the first order, so the major shareholder of the underground fighting arena was undoubtedly very angry!
The black-haired demon opposite him picked up the teapot on the table at this moment, and poured another cup of tea into the teacup in his hand.
The black tea gurgled from the teapot spout, and the movements of the black-haired demon were extremely elegant.
He has always been unhurried, but Xue at this moment dare not doubt the opponent’s strength.
The panic he felt just now was not fake!
The other party didn’t say a word, but just relying on his aura, he let himself tell everything, without concealing anything!
“Drink tea, and then tell me about Mrs. Cantaro.” Pulling a chair, the black-haired man sat directly in front of the two demons at a very close position.
And then, the two demons together told all the information about Mrs. Cantaro that they had learned during this period.
Mrs. Cantaro, Cantaro is her first name, her surname is no longer known.
Possessing vast wealth and extraordinary magic power, the lady had had no less than twenty husbands, each of whom was one of the world’s most famous handsome men, and is jokingly called a collector of handsome men.
However, more than 20 husbands only brought her three daughters in the end. It is said that the three daughters have recently reached the age of marriage, and Mrs. Cantaro is buying artworks everywhere as dowry gifts for her daughters.
“That’s how Mrs. Cantaro saw your collection and bought it back…”
The black-haired demon lowered his eyes and stared at his fingers for a moment. When he raised his head again, he asked the two opposite demons: “Where can I meet Mrs. Cantaro?”
“It’s very easy to meet by chance. Mrs. Cantaro is a local. Her hobby is to watch monster fights. You can meet her in the luxurious box of the Colosseum. I can arrange this…” Xue replied.
“Then I’ll leave it to you, next… I plan to meet this Mrs. Cantaro… by chance.”
“I’ll arrange it right away.” The thin demon vowed.
Next day, he delivered the tickets of the Colosseum’s luxury box for that night.
Just like the world Ji Huan once lived in, in this world, every city has its own culture, and this culture was even more distinctive.
For example, the Utah area is a famous art city with countless antique shops, famous art auctions, historical research societies, and even the largest historical library;
For example, the medical skills of Lute City, there are various hospitals and clinics there and the first place people think of when they want to see a doctor is Lute City, the difference is that rich demons come here to ask for a doctor, while ordinary demons have to go to seek medical treatment in person;
But in Yuma City, where big demons live, things like ordinary auctions can no longer stimulate the hearts of these demons, and they prefer more primitive activities.
Blood and Strife, a legacy etched in the blood of the demons, has been thoroughly carried forward in this city.
This city is most famous for its various underground fighting arenas.
In the beginning, it was just a way to find a job.
If poor low-level demons come to big cities and want to find suitable jobs for them, they need to prove themselves, and for a demon, their most important property is often themselves, and the best way to prove their abilities is to fight.
It’s a real fight with real guns and bullets, where the winners are appreciated and get the job they want.
On the other hand, the loser will be scarred, and if he is weaker, he may even die.
At first, it was just a screening method, but the people at the labor market soon found that this method was very popular with employers, and gradually, even some people came specifically to watch these demons fight.
Therefore, it is unclear when the original labor market gradually developed into a fighting arena.
Employers can no longer enter for free, they have to pay to watch various fights. Gradually, fighting is no longer a way to find a job, but simply a profession.
There are many demons from small places who come here with dreams. Many demons die on the fighting platform, and their blood seeps through the cracks of the stone platform, staying there forever; Only a small number of demons stand out, showcasing themselves in this way, seizing opportunities, and achieving everything they want.
There are two types of fighting, one is when the organizer sends a demon; the other is that the demons signs up for its pet monster it has raised to fight with other demons. In this case, once the pet monster wins, the owner can get quite a lot of bonuses.
So now many people like to raise monsters.
Mrs. Cantaro is one of them.
She carefully raises monsters and would come to participate in the competition every once in a while. However, she doesn’t participate in the competition for the prize money. Although her victory rate was high and she would also receive a large amount of money, she would always laugh and give out all the prize money after receiving it, leaving nothing for herself.
She is not interested in the prize money, she is the woman who comes here entirely for the rich and tempting smell of blood in the fighting arena.
Dressed in a high-quality black formal attire, with a signature large scarf draped over his shoulders, Mr. Firzaha sat down under the guidance of the waiter.
Not long after he had taken his seat, the owner of the box next to him also arrived, accompanied by a rich fragrance.
Looking up inadvertently, he saw the black hem of the woman’s skirt.
That is Mrs. Cantaro.
