Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lethal Poison sat in the Lazy Cat Tavern in the Western District of Hero City. Although there wasn't much difference in their outfits, they gave off a negative feeling. It was as if everyone was looking at you from the corner of their eyes, as if they were scheming something from the bottom of their hearts. To be honest, it didn't feel good to sit in such a tavern. Although the waitresses were enchanting and charming, the wine was mellow and sweet, and the food was fragrant and tempting, it didn't feel comforting to sit here.
Lethal Poison changed his posture and rested his chin against the back of his chair. He began to reflect on why he agreed to meet Gongzi You. He had not forgotten how Gongzi You had caused him to lose a huge sum of money a few months ago. He was still unhappy when he thought about it. But then again, when Green Hill's Moon contacted him and told him that Gongzi You wanted to meet him, he agreed without hesitation. This woman had too many legends about her. Other than the avalanche and the Bounty Order, there was no other connection between them.
But why was Gongzi You looking for him? Was she going to give him a Bounty Order as well? Lethal Poison pursed his lips. That was too ridiculous.
He took a look at the time. There were still five minutes to the appointed time, but there was no sign of Gongzi You entering the tavern. Is she late just because she's punctual? Or does she have the right to be late just because she's a woman? Lethal Poison's chubby fingers gently tapped on the rough wooden table as he quietly waited for the time to come.
If Gongzi You did not arrive in five minutes, he would not wait for another minute. No one was allowed to be late. Being late was not a right. It was a form of respect for others.
Time ticked by. When there were only thirty seconds left before the meeting, Lethal Poison raised his glass in disdain and downed a mouthful of wine. What a waste of good wine. He had planned to have a few more glasses of wine with Gongzi You during the meeting, but it seemed that his plan was ruined by her tardiness. Gongzi You might be good at playing, but she was just a little girl who got to where she was because of a false reputation. She would not go far if she did not know how to respect others.
Lethal Poison put down his glass and was stunned when he looked up. The empty chair opposite him was now occupied by a slender figure in a cloak. While he was still in a daze, he saw that person stretch out two slender and fair hands from the wide cloak and gently put down the hood, revealing a cold and indifferent face. Long silver hair was tied up high, sharp and cold amber eyes, and the slightly curved corners of his lips.
Although this face did not have outstanding beauty, it had a kind of magical power that made people unable to forget it. Many years later, perhaps you would not be able to accurately describe every detail of this face, or even her appearance would be blurred, but that kind of innate aura would definitely leave a deep impression that you would never forget.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm Gongzi You." She curled her lips, revealing a smile that was almost impossible to see.
Lethal Poison took a look at the time. Their meeting time had just arrived when Gongzi You spoke. A mysterious smile appeared on his face as he reached out to grab her slender fingers. "I'm the one who's early. I'm Lethal Poison," he said as he let go of Gongzi You's slender fingers, "I'm the one who's early. I'm Lethal Poison."
This was a secret meeting, an unexpected appointment. Life was unpredictable. Who would have thought that two people who used to raise their swords against each other would sit together and chat one day?
Ye Ci stood outside the Lazy Cat Tavern and took a deep breath. The cold night air entered her lungs through her nostrils, completely releasing the stagnant gas in her body. She stretched lazily and narrowed her eyes to look at the moon above Hero City. It was so bright that it looked like it was made of white jade.
"Can I ask you a question?" Lethal Poison came out of the tavern after Gongzi You. He stood behind her and looked at her relaxed appearance, feeling less nervous.
"What is it?"
"Why did you choose the tavern in the West District?"
"Is the wine not good? Is the food not delicious? "Ye Ci turned half of her face and curled her lips at Lethal Poison. There was a kind of unfathomable alienation in her amber eyes, which looked so charming under the moonlight.
"No, it's just that this place doesn't feel as magnanimous as the East District." Lethal Poison looked up at the moonlight and exhaled deeply, "Staying here, I feel like someone is staring at me. It's quite depressing."
"This is a place for bad people." Ye Ci put on her hood and turned to Lethal Poison with a smile, "I'm a super red name, so I can't enter the East District. I'll have to trouble you to stay here for a while." She paused for a moment before continuing, "I look forward to the day you succeed."
"I'll take your blessings. Time is too tight. I'm sure Golden Era has already started looking for it." Lethal Poison sighed and frowned. He looked troubled.
"So what? They haven't found it yet, have they? " Ye Ci didn't care too much about the question. She had already achieved her goal, so there was no point in staying any longer. Under the hood, her thin lips curled into a smile, "I look forward to the day you can wait for me here again."
"Discuss the monopoly price?" Lethal Poison laughed, "Are you so sure that there's a huge demand for this thing? From the current formula, it's precious, but it's not to the point where everyone needs it. Where do you get your confidence from? "
Ye Ci raised her right index finger and gently pressed it to her lips, "This is a secret." She turned to leave, "Lethal Poison, sometimes the truth isn't as it seems. Do you want to bet?"
"What's the bet?"
"Give me half of the production?"
"No way, this bet won't do me any good." Lethal Poison smiled. He felt that he was starting to like this woman. It wasn't the love between a man and a woman, but the appreciation of an expert for another expert. It was rare for a woman to be so ambitious, and ambitious to the point that it wasn't annoying.
Ye Ci laughed out loud, "Lethal Poison, you're such a petty man."
"That's true. If I wasn't petty, I wouldn't have chased you for three months." Lethal Poison didn't care about Ye Ci's words at all. Instead, he smiled and narrowed his small eyes.
"Goodbye." Ye Ci did not stay any longer. She waved goodbye to Lethal Poison and plunged into the darkness of the night. Soon, her grey cloak was swallowed up by the dense darkness, leaving no trace behind.
There was no one in front of the Lazy Cat Tavern, as if no one had ever been there. It was as silent as ever.
Lethal Poison felt that he was a little slow. He didn't know if it was because he didn't know Gongzi You well, but he almost missed out on a huge fortune. Of course, he only realized this a month after he met Gongzi You in Hero City. That day, he finally saw a priceless white equipment in the auction house — the Mithril Shirt. Its price was as high as 500,000 gold coins. However, he only saw it once because when he was about to look at the equipment's stats, it was already bought by someone else.
At that time, Lethal Poison couldn't help but slap the table and stand up. F * ck, do you guys have nowhere to spend your money? Five hundred thousand gold coins were taken away without even blinking. Can't you let me see the stats? Then, he heard that Sapphire Shrine had defeated the first Boss of the Southern Continent's Large-scale Instance Dungeon, Emerald Mirage. Lethal Poison was even more displeased. Although Constellation, Sapphire, and Sanguine Rain were the top three guilds in the Northern Continent, Constellation was ranked first. Even if they were to clear the Instance Dungeon, they would be the ones to get the First Clear. Since when did Sapphire Shrine get the First Clear before them?
After asking around, Lethal Poison was speechless. It turned out that Sapphire Shrine had spent a huge sum of money to buy 20 Mithril Shirts, which were used to withstand the Magic Backlash of the first Boss. He finally believed that Gongzi You had a monopoly. Whenever he thought of that woman, Lethal Poison would feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, he was not a petty person. After receiving the coordinates of the Mithril ore vein from Gongzi You, he sent people to search for it. After a battle with Golden Era, he obtained the Quest Lock. It was not easy to get it.
When he thought about how he almost gave up on the search for the Mithril ore vein, he felt that it was really dangerous.
Lethal Poison laid in his room and stared at the ceiling. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh and contacted Green Hill's Moon. "I'm willing to discuss the monopoly with you." Green Hill's Moon sent a message to Gongzi You. His exact words were, "I'm willing to discuss the monopoly with you."
When Ye Ci received the message, she was sitting in the Kira Mountains of the Southern Continent, eating barbecued meat. Ol 'Six squatted beside Ye Ci and stared at the meat in Ye Ci's hands greedily. Ye Ci's lips curled up when she heard the message from Green Hill's Moon. She tossed the meat to Ol 'Six and leaned against a rock. She then stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth and stared at the blue sky with narrowed eyes.
I wonder how Golden Era, who has lost their economic lifeline, will be able to dominate Fate in this life. She thought that she was definitely curious about this matter.
"Little Ci, Golden Era has ambushed our stronghold," Bai Mo suddenly sent a message to Ye Ci while she was resting. (To be continued. If you like this series, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
