Pol?
Kieran looked at the figure that walked in and instantly recalled the last time he brushed shoulders with Pol.
The strange sense of familiarity that Pol gave to Kieran last time was still fresh in Kieran's memory. They had never met before but it felt like deja vu.
This time, the feeling was gone.
It seemed like the strange sense of familiarity last time was just an illusion.
But was it really an illusion?
Kieran didn't think so.
Pol greeted the people around him like he was used to, walked up to the bar counter, and asked Rachel for a glass of water. Kieran raised a brow.
That was because that familiar feeling appeared again.
"Hey, 2567, this is Pol, the new guy.
Pol, I don't think I need to introduce him, do I?
"Believe me, the two of you will definitely become good friends."
After all, it's the first time I've met two equally stingy people. "
While Lawless was busy, Rachel acted as the introducer. However, compared to Lawless's sincerity of introducing friends to friends, Rachel's was more of a tease.
"Points aren't easy to come by."
Kieran shrugged and said that while his eyes were glued to Pol.
The man nodded as if he acknowledged Kieran's words.
He also didn't want to talk to Kieran too much, maintaining his cold attitude that kept strangers away.
Kieran glanced over the man again before he turned around and left.
It was true that the man was worth paying attention to, but this kind of face-to-face stalking was too inefficient. Even a commoner would know to be vigilant in front of a stranger.
So, some special methods were needed.
After walking past Lawless and greeting his friend, Kieran quickly left the inn.
Pol raised his head when he saw Kieran disappear behind the door.
His eyes were filled with doubts.
"Why? Curious why such a big shot came to my place?"
Rachel asked while wiping a glass.
"No.
"I'm just curious about something else."
Pol told the truth.
As for what he was curious about?
Pol didn't say much, and Rachel didn't ask either. However, in the following period of time, their conversation always revolved around Kieran.
However, this topic did not go well.
"Did he really get the Unique title?"
"Five thousand points for information."
"Is he really as soft-hearted as the rumors say a few months ago?"
"Information fee: 3,000 points."
"Is he really a lone wolf without the support of a team?"
"Information fee: 3,000 points."
"His flames are quite powerful?"
"Information fee: 3,000 points."
"Is there no such thing that doesn't charge money?"
"Yes."
"His name is 2567."
"…"
Pol's lips moved a little, but he couldn't say anything else. He finished the water in one gulp and walked over to Lawless' side. He looked at the noisy inn and fell into deep thought.
As expected …
Is it not the same era as I remember it?
Witch?
You are really something. '
Pol muttered the name that he would never forget in his heart.
He unconsciously clenched his fist.
"Borl, do you want a drink?"
"My treat."
As if he noticed something, Lawless, who was busy with his work, suddenly lifted his head and looked at Borl.
"Thanks.
I need to get some fresh air. "
Pol rejected politely and walked out the door.
Lawless frowned when he saw Pol's back. He wanted to stand up and give chase, but a slender hand grabbed his shoulder and pushed him back to his seat.
Lawless struggled a few times, but it was futile. He then looked at the owner of the hand with a bitter smile.
"Rachel, I'm just …"
"No matter what you discovered or what you are worried about, don't forget the promise you gave me."
Rachel said in a bad tone.
It could even be said that he was angry.
"I know you must have discovered something, just like me.
But you have to believe that if this matter is related to 2567, with his abilities, he will be able to handle it well.
If it isn't related to him, you don't have to be so nervous.
"Now, sit here obediently and finish what 2567 asked you to do."
Lawless spoke quickly, coupled with the bad tone and the guilt he felt towards Rachel, it made Lawless feel like he was avoiding and cowering before her.
Lawless was like a rabbit being forced into a corner, he nodded with a bitter smile.
"Okay, I got it.
"That's great!"
Rachel then walked back to the bar counter.
As she walked, she shouted, "You bastards, if you don't pay up the money you owe me, I'll have to add interest!"
The lone wolves in the inn were stunned at first, but soon, they started to cry in agony.
"No, you can't do this!
No, I can do this!
"My dear Rachel, you are so radiant."
You can see my face even with the system blur! Has your senses transcended the mortal realm?
Your mercy is like the saintess!
In the darkness, I am the saintess! "
Her words and words made the lone wolves feel Rachel's anger.
At the same time, they also knew communicating with Rachel wouldn't work. Some of the smarter ones immediately changed their initial strategy.
"You must have said those words out of anger.
"Please don't be angry."
"Yes, did Lawless piss you off?"
"Don't worry, please hand him over to us, we will calm you down."
A series of words later, the lone wolves in the inn surrounded Lawless.
"You bastard, kneel before Rachel and beg for forgiveness!"
"You freeloader, how dare you provoke Rachel!"
"Do you know you will drag us down?"
Lawless smiled bitterly again when he saw his angry friends.
"So this is how you treat your friends?"
"Compared to you as a friend, we care more about Lady Rachel's feelings!"
"Hurry up and pacify Lady Rachel!"
"Otherwise, you know the consequences!"
The group of them joked and cheered, pushing Lawless to the front of the bar counter before returning to their seats with their glasses in their hands.
They wanted to watch a good show.
Compared to Rachel talking about money, they were more interested in the scene before their eyes.
But soon, those guys couldn't laugh anymore.
"Double the interest."
Rachel said.
The air froze for a second.
Then, another wave of agonizing wails sounded.
At this moment, Wu, who walked in, curled her lips.
"A bunch of fools."
As she spoke, she went straight to the small hall at the back of the tavern.
Inside the living room, a tall, slender woman in a red mantle was standing beside the sofa. Around her, gemstones were flying around, shining brightly.
Blacksmith saw Wu walk in and asked with her usual cold tone, "Did you ask Rachel to look for me?"
"Mm.
I have something to discuss with you.
It's related to 2567. "
Wu pointed at the sofa as she spoke.
Blacksmith raised a brow, wanting to say something, but in the end, she kept quiet and sat on the sofa.
She really wanted to know what was related to 2567.
