The night came as promised.
The moment Kieran hung the little blackboard outside, Amy ran in eagerly.
As a matter of fact, Amy had been waiting outside the Leaf Dining since the afternoon.
She was scared.
He was also very curious.
Fear and the unknown were like twin vines, growing in her heart and all kinds of guesses came flooding in.
"What's going on?"
Amy sat down at the bar counter and asked Kieran.
"As you can see, it's just like that."
Kieran turned on the TV and switched to the evening news channel before turning around to Amy.
"What do you mean just like that?!
And what happened before!
The night I was drunk, did Chief Teddy encounter something here as well? "
Amy wasn't an idiot since she was able to climb to the top of the publishing company at her age. Quite the opposite, she was unusually smart, especially when she didn't drink. Using the convenience of her identity, she slowly found some clues.
Kieran wasn't surprised though.
So, Kieran nodded.
"Em.
"It can also be considered your personal experience."
"However, you were too drunk at that time."
Kieran then picked up the newspaper.
Amy went silent.
Although she was prepared for it, when she got the confirmation from Kieran, Amy still couldn't accept it.
Because, this completely turned her world upside down.
From what she knew, death was death.
With the arrival of death, everything would dissipate.
Whether it was love or hate.
Everything would vanish without a trace.
However, what happened last night told her that death wasn't the end, but a new beginning. If it wasn't for her strong mental fortitude, she would have gone crazy.
Huuhaa, Huuhaa.
Amy's breath got heavier as she felt the impact.
"Give me something to drink."
Amy said.
"No alcohol, just chicken soup."
Kieran emphasized.
"Sure, chicken soup is fine as long as it's drinkable."
Amy said quickly.
Kieran put down the newspaper, scooped a bowl of chicken soup, and handed it to the man.
Without using a spoon, Amy picked up the bowl of chicken soup and gulped it down without caring about the temperature.
"Hiss! Hot! Hot! "
The moment her tongue touched the chicken soup, Amy cried out in pain.
"Being anxious and frustrated won't change anything. It will only make things worse."
"Therefore, calmness and calmness are the foundation of solving problems."
Kieran said as he moved the bowl of chicken soup inwards.
This was chosen by Starbeck, so it was considered one of his personal possessions. It would be bad if it was broken.
"I know."
"I should calm down."
"But if you encounter ghosts, dead people, or spirits, can you calm down?"
Amy asked.
He even said several nouns.
"Yes."
Kieran said resolutely.
Amy looked at Kieran in astonishment. It wasn't that she didn't believe him, but she was curious as to why Kieran was so straightforward.
"Because I don't want to die."
Kieran said calmly.
"But death isn't … not everyone can become like Deodor after death?"
Amy opened her mouth but quickly realized what Kieran meant.
"It's not just that."
"Just like how there are good people and bad people."
"Same goes for the dead."
Kieran said.
"So, you are one of those who deal with the 'bad' part of the dead?"
"You watch TV, read the newspaper, are you collecting information?"
"Don't you guys have similar organizations?"
Amy voiced out her speculations.
"I'm not, but someone is."
Kieran shook his head.
"Who is it?"
Amy's eyes shone.
It was the excitement of a professional reporter.
"Are you sure you want to meet him?"
Kieran asked.
"If it's possible, I want to meet him."
Amy answered.
"You don't mind losing some of your memories?"
Kieran asked.
"Losing my memories?
You are saying? "
Amy was shocked and looked at Kieran in uncertainty. After Kieran nodded, the female reporter couldn't help but stand up. She instinctively wanted to scold Kieran, but when she thought of something, she sat down dejectedly.
"Some secrets can never be revealed to everyone."
"Because it will cause the order to collapse."
"But we should have …"
Amy sat there and murmured to herself.
It was like the beliefs of her believers crumbling.
"Not knowing is a lot of times, it means happiness."
"The more you know, the more dangerous it will be."
"It's up to you."
Kieran looked at Amy.
Amy frowned but didn't dodge his gaze.
"What do you mean?"
Amy asked.
She wasn't an idiot, she knew that Kieran's cold attitude had changed. Other than her honestly reporting about Deodor, there must be something else that he needed her help with.
It wasn't a sudden interest in her.
She knew that kind of man all too well.
She could tell the difference with a single glance.
"Do you want to pretend that nothing happened last night and live a normal life?"
"Or work with me?"
"As you can see, I'm indeed gathering information by watching television and reading newspapers. However, my speed of gathering information is far inferior to yours."
"In short, I need an assistant to gather information."
Kieran was being straightforward.
After discovering Amy's identity yesterday and confirming her position in the newspaper office wasn't low, Kieran had the same thought.
Otherwise, even if he did manage to log out Deodre's information, Kieran wouldn't have told him so much.
"You are different from the real … Demon Hunters?"
"They are professionals."
"And you are amateurs?"
Amy thought for a while before uttering a term that was acknowledged by the public.
"Something like that."
Kieran didn't refute.
He really wasn't a professional.
Kieran's current occupation was the owner of a restaurant. Killing some dead souls was just a coincidence.
However, in order to recover his strength faster, he didn't mind using his spare time to farm.
Amy didn't answer right away.
After thinking for more than ten minutes, the female reporter opened her mouth again.
"I can be your assistant, but we are equals."
"You can't force me to do anything."
"And I will try my best to help you."
Amy stated her request.
"No problem."
Kieran then extended his right hand.
"Happy working with you."
"Happy working with you."
Kieran's hand parted with Amy's and Amy heaved a long breath of relief.
At least, Kieran wasn't interested in her.
It was the best for her.
"Do you have a room for rent?"
After solving the biggest doubt in her heart, Amy moved on to the biggest problem at hand.
After meeting Deodor last night, Amy didn't return to her apartment.
For Amy, her life had been wonderful before last night.
But after last night, she kept feeling that there were 'people' beside her, at her feet, and above her head. There were 'people' everywhere.
It was a terrible feeling.
She thought she needed a safe place to stay.
Based on Amy's knowledge, other than Kieran's place, where else could be safer?
"Nope."
Kieran answered without hesitation.
"I am your assistant now."
Amy repeated.
"But we are equals, you said it yourself."
Kieran returned her words.
"I didn't take any commission."
Amy argued with reason.
"When you get information from the dead that should have disappeared from the world, you will get an unimaginable reward."
Kieran wasn't moved.
He had too many secrets.
Other than Starbeck, Kieran didn't want anyone else around him for an extended period of time.
Not even his so-called assistant.
"Then what if I go back at night?"
Amy asked.
"Do what you usually do.
A normal baton will help you deal with any troubles you might face.
If it's hard to accept, you can sit here and wait until morning.
The seat fee is 100 per night, and if you want to use it for a long time, I can give you a 99% discount. "
Kieran said in a serious tone.
"Greedy bastard!"
Amy muttered to herself. Then, she took out 200 yuan and put it on the counter.
Amy's chicken soup was 100.
The seat fee was 100.
Kieran took the money and put it into the cash box.
"Shouldn't you get change?"
Amy frowned.
Amy was very sensitive to numbers.
"A long time is 100. If it's only for a night, how is it considered long time?"
Kieran replied as a matter of fact.
"It's just 1 yuan!"
Amy's voice was a little higher.
Ten thousand yuan is also made up of ten thousand 1 yuan. A hundred thousand yuan and a million yuan all start from the first 1 yuan. "Wang Yao said with a smile on his face.
"Anyone who looks down on one yuan will never be able to become a true rich person."
Because they will spend every last dollar they have. "
Kieran said seriously.
Amy didn't argue.
Because she had the same thought.
For the rest of the time, Amy sat in her seat and arranged the documents. Kieran flipped through the newspaper and listened to the TV.
Soon, it was past midnight.
At one o 'clock in the morning, the program on the TV changed to a replayed TV series.
It was the kind of TV series that could be repeated for 4 to 5 episodes during the winter and summer holidays.
Kieran was watching the TV series with interest.
The fact that it could be repeated meant that it was a classic.
However, no matter how classic it was, one would get sick of it after watching it too many times.
Amy was no doubt one's case.
"You're such a boring person."
"He's not handsome enough either."
I guess you will be alone for the rest of your life. "
Amy couldn't hold back her words when she saw Kieran was enjoying the TV series.
Kieran didn't argue.
It was a fact that he was boring, he knew it himself.
As for his looks?
Although the system blurred it out, it wasn't to beautify or optimize his looks, it was still based on his original looks.
So, he had to admit that his looks were average.
As for being alone for the rest of his life?
However, it was too early to talk about it.
It was too early for him to even consider it.
However, just because Kieran didn't argue, it didn't mean Starbeck wouldn't care.
After Amy entered the restaurant, Starbeck, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Wearing an apron, Starbeck walked out.
Amy's eyes shone when she saw Starbeck.
Compared to Kieran's looks, Starbeck was unusually handsome.
Especially his masculine, robust, and feminine face, it attracted Amy's attention.
"You are his brother, Roye, right?
And also the chef of this restaurant.
Are you two really brothers?
You two look completely different. "
Amy stared at Starbeck, the burning gaze in her eyes was self-explanatory.
"Interesting soul, more than 200 kgs.
"A good-looking body costs 3000 per night."
And the normal, boring brother, with me by his side, he won't grow old alone.
What about you? "
Starbeck, who was standing beside Kieran, showed a warm and polite smile. His gaze at Amy wasn't aggressive, but it pressured her greatly.
She felt like the person standing in front of her wasn't a handsome young man but an authoritative figure in a high position.
She had only felt this way when she interviewed the mayor of Ai City.
Even the mayor of Ai City didn't give off such a suffocating pressure.
"Me?
"Naturally, I have my own plans."
When I become famous and successful, I'll find an honest man to marry. "
Facing such pressure, Amy's brain became sluggish. She wanted to come up with a more ingenious answer, but her answer had unknowingly fallen into a disadvantageous position.
This kind of feeling was simply terrible.
It was intolerable!
She was pressured by a young boy to the point that she couldn't breathe?
What a joke!
Fight back!
I must fight back!
The thought bloomed in Amy's mind, she wanted to say something else but when she saw the warm and polite smile again, the suffocating pressure grew stronger. She felt like she was facing a king who had the power to decide her life and death, she couldn't even sit properly.
"I-I'm sure you two are brothers now.
The way you speak is exactly the same. "
Amy said dryly with her hand on the counter.
Starbeck smiled but didn't say anything. He turned around and passed the mug with goji berries to Kieran. 'I'm just here to give you some water, I'm not targeting you.
If you think I'm targeting you, then you are mistaken. '
'You are mistaken.'
Amy read the meaning behind Starbeck's smile.
Unknowingly, Amy realized compared to her handsome little brother, the cold Kieran was easier to get along with.
"Royan, I …"
"Shut up."
Amy wanted to end the awkward atmosphere, so she opened her mouth to speak to Kieran, but the moment she opened her mouth, Kieran's shout echoed in her ears.
Kieran's eyes were glued to the TV.
It was then that Amy realized the drama on the TV had turned black and white without her knowing.
A hand appeared on the screen, a half-clenched fist with the back of the hand facing her. Then … the hand knocked on the screen.
Dok Dok Dok!
As the palm's knuckles collided with the screen, a crisp knocking sound was heard.
Amy's face turned pale.
Each knock felt like it was knocking on her heart.
With last night's experience as a lesson, Amy was already frightened by the mere twang of a bowstring.
She was even more frightened than before.
She widened her eyes and looked at Kieran with a pleading gaze.
She hoped that the professionals in the room could solve this' problem '.
Then …
She saw Kieran stand up, raise his hand and press the button for the drama.
Pak!
