In a small town in Europe, in front of the hut where Torre and Sean were based, Torre, who came to pick up milk, found that in addition to the milk, there was an envelope signed by him in the mailbox.
"Who will deliver the letter here?"
Torre scratched his head, but still tore open the envelope and looked at it.
What is more eye-catching than the content of the letter is a mark on the letter paper, a mark used by members of the "Guardians of Time" to express their identity, and the owner of this mark is the number one among the "Guardians of Time".
Torre didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he tore it up. He was about to throw it into the trash can at the door, but after thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. When he returned to the hut, he directly picked up the letter from Shi En who was sorting the weapon box. He took out a lighter and burned the shredded paper into ashes. After burning it, he deliberately crushed it into ashes, and then he safely swept the ashes into the trash can.
"Torre, what are you doing! If the smoke detector is triggered, will I sell you the money to pay for the fire alarm?"
Shien quickly picked up his coat and fanned at the smoke produced by the burning debris.
Their pockets were all deep now. If they had to pay another sum of money for the fire alarm, he might really have to let Torre sell his ass.
"Sorry, sorry, I'll pay attention next time!"
Torre apologized without sincerity.
Fortunately, there wasn't much smoke from the burning debris, and Shi En fanned him fiercely. The smoke nozzle in the room was not triggered, so Shi En was too lazy to argue with Torre - if he had to argue with Torre for everything. After all, he was already pissed off by Torre.
"What was that just now?"
Sean threw his coat on the sofa and asked Torre.
He vaguely saw that the things Torre burned before were some shredded papers with writing on them. To make Torre, who was always very nervous, handle them so carefully, the records on them must be some secret that cannot be known to outsiders.
"We've been entrusted with a mission."
Torre replied.
"Who would entrust you?" Shi En looked at Torre with disdain. Among the two, he was always the one responsible for contacting the task. Even if they wanted to entrust them, they should go to him. How could they go to Torre? Unreliable guy.
"Wait!" Shi En's expression changed, "Is it them?"
Looking specifically for Torre's commission, Shi En could only think of that organization.
"Um."
Torre nodded.
"Reject them!"
Shi En said without hesitation.
As a former prosecutor, Shion could not stand "Cronos", an organization with half of its body exposed and bathing in the light, but most of its body sunk underground and embracing the darkness, and did not want to have any contact with them - he There is no way to bring Europe's largest underground organization to justice, but if he is to be complicit with "Cronos" and become its minion to work for them, the sense of justice left over from Prosecutor Sean's time will not allow him to do so.
"Shi En, calm down...this mission is not some illegal activity, it is for us to go to Japan to help them bring home a runaway girl!"
Torre smiled bitterly. He knew that Shien disliked "Cronus" very much, and he didn't like it either, but there were indeed many old friends in "Cronos" who had taken care of him, and they asked him for help. Torre It's hard to say no, especially...
"Just bringing a runaway girl home? Cronus can't handle such a small thing and let us go? It's a joke! There must be some ulterior conspiracy in this, maybe they are prepared Use us as cannon fodder! I know that there are always people in Cronus who dislike you, and this commission might just want to kill you!"
Shien objected fiercely, and then Torre said slowly: "But the fee for this commission is one million euros..."
Shi En, who reacted fiercely, suddenly became quiet.
1. One million euros? A million euros just for bringing home a runaway girl? Damn it, this "Cronos" is too rich!
No, no! Sean Polfield, show your backbone as a prosecutor!
Shien patted his cheek to wake himself up.
One million euros is just to bring a runaway girl home. This is unusual in any way. Maybe it is human trafficking. This "Cronos" really does all kinds of evil!
Shi En was filled with indignation, but there was a voice in his heart that kept tempting him to accept this commission, otherwise they would lose next month's rent and car gas money.
"One million euros? Just find a little girl to take home? Is there such a cheap thing?"
A woman's voice sounded, and Rinslet walked down from the second floor wearing only a bath towel, all wet.
"Hey, there are two grown men here, please pay attention!"
Shien covered his eyes and yelled at Rinslet.
This woman increasingly treats other people's strongholds as her own home.
"What does it matter? We are all so familiar with each other anyway!"
Linslet said nonchalantly, then sat directly on the sofa, crossed her legs, opened the milk on the coffee table and poured it into her mouth directly.
"Hey! That's my milk!"
Tore was more concerned about his milk than Rinslet was only wrapped in a towel.
"Luosuo, what's wrong with drinking your bottle of milk? I still pay the rent of your stronghold!"
Rinslet said arrogantly.
Hearing what Rinslet said, the two grown men all lowered their heads in despair.
The heroic man was driven to death by a penny, just because of the temporary lack of cash flow. This was obviously their stronghold, but in the end it seemed that they had become dependent on others.
"Shi En, how about..."
Torre whispered to Shi En.
"no!"
Shi En refused without hesitation.
No matter how poor you are, you cannot accept the mission of "Cronos". This is a matter of principle!
Linslet drank half the bottle of milk and put the remaining half back on the coffee table. Then the old god asked Torre on the ground: "Tore, is the little girl you are talking about the same as La from the Kingdom of Debi Luke?" Princess La Satalin Debiruke?”
"how do you know?"
Torre was surprised.
"Don't forget who I am. I am the most powerful thief agent in Europe, Lynslet Walker. Is there anything in Europe that I don't know about?"
Linslet said proudly.
The fact that Princess Lala of the Kingdom of Debiruke ran away from home has long been spread among the upper class circles in Europe. After all, she is a princess of a country, and the Kingdom of Debiruke is an emerging country with extremely rapid development momentum. Pay attention to Daibiluk Kingdom. The Biluk royal family has always had a lot of eyes.
It is said that the reason why Princess Lala ran away from home was that King Debi Luke wanted to find a husband for his eldest daughter. As a result, Princess Lala was dissatisfied, so she ran away from home, which can be regarded as a Cruel person.
In recent years, the Kingdom of Debbie Luke has developed very rapidly with the help of some inexplicable black technology. It has not only seized the market share of many technology companies, but also aroused the jealousy of many people. This time Princess Lala ran away from home and was severely punished. A slap in the face from the Debbie Luke Kingdom, which made the Debbie Luke Kingdom the laughing stock of many people. One of Linslet’s regular customers told Linslet about this matter in a very relaxed and cheerful tone. , only then did Rinslet know about this matter. Otherwise, no matter how well-informed she was, she would not have known so clearly about a princess who had nothing to do with her business running away from home.
After bragging about how well-informed she was, Linslet said to Shi En: "Shi En, I advise you to agree. Lala Satalin Debiluke is the princess of the Debiluke Kingdom. It has nothing to do with 'Cronus'... Well, it can't be said that it has nothing to do with it. After all, her mother is from the Yax family and the sister of the current head of the Yax family, but she herself has nothing to do with 'Cronus' It has nothing to do with it. I understand your hostility to Cronus, but hating a little girl who has nothing to do with Cronus is against the gentlemanly behavior you pursue."
"But……"
Hearing Linslet say that Lara had nothing to do with "Kronos", Shi En was a little moved, but it was still difficult to get over the hurdle in his heart.
"Shi En, this mission was entrusted to us by Sister Saifei in her own name and has nothing to do with the organization. As you know, I can still be at ease now because Sister Saifei is protecting me. Her request is really unacceptable to me. I can’t refuse, if you really refuse, I will have no choice but to go to Japan alone.”
Torre clasped his hands and begged Shi Eun.
"You go alone? Then make a big fuss in Japan? I don't want to go to Japan to catch you!"
Shien was not at all at ease about letting Torrey act alone. This man did things based on his mood and did not consider the consequences at all.
"It's just this once, we won't do it next time." Shi En agreed with an embarrassed look on his face. At the same time, he was thinking in his mind, after getting the one million euros, should he pay off the debt first or do some maintenance on his car? ?
No, that's one million euros, which is enough for a new car!
The excitement in Shi En's heart was almost overflowing.
"Um, I'm not here to throw cold water on you. Do you have any travel expenses to Japan?"
Linslet leaned on the sofa with her chin in one hand and looked at Shi En and Torrey with a teasing look on her face.
"..."
The two grown men were silent again.
Indeed, they didn't even have money for tomorrow's meal, let alone the travel expenses to Japan. This time they were traveling across continents and it was impossible to drive there.
"Uh, it's okay. Sister Saifei knew that we had no money, so she specially gave me a check of 200,000 euros in advance as a deposit, and promised that as long as I accept the commission, no matter what the outcome is, the deposit will not be refunded!"
Torre suddenly remembered the contents of the letter and the check for 200,000 euros attached to the letter.
"He is worthy of being the No. 1 'Guardian of Time'. He does things properly!"
Shi En felt happy for a moment, and then felt a little sad unconsciously.
Even the No. 1 "Guardian of Time" knew that they had no money. How miserable they were...
Shi En cast a somewhat resentful look at Torre.
It's all this guy's fault. He always causes all kinds of damage when arresting criminals with bounties on them. The bounties they earn are often not enough to compensate for the damage caused. Especially since this guy can't keep money and spends it everywhere whenever he has money. , and like children, they always buy useless toys randomly, which makes them unable to save any money. Otherwise, with the strength of their combination, they would have become rich by now!
"Torre, where is the check? Give it to me quickly so I can book a ticket to Japan!"
Shien asked Torre for a check, and booking a flight was actually secondary. The main reason was that he didn't trust Torre to manage the money.
"Oh, the check, the check is..."
Torre was about to say where the check was, when suddenly he froze, and then his forehead began to sweat.
Shi En suddenly felt suffocated when he saw Torre's expression. Could it be, could it be, tell me I was wrong...
He and Torre looked at the trash can at the same time. Well, it was the trash can that had just swept the ashes into it.
Shi En sat limply on the sofa.
He should be angry, scold Torre or even beat him up, but now he seems to have no energy to be angry or curse. He is tired, he is really tired. After partnering with this idiot, he It seems like nothing good has happened...
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Seeing the two of them like this and the smell of smoke that had not completely dissipated from the room, Linslet couldn't guess what was going on and immediately fell down on the sofa and burst out laughing.
Why is the god of poverty possessed? This is called possession by the poor god! These two idiots should really go to church and pray to the pastor, otherwise they may be unlucky in the future!
The check and the letter were torn into pieces and burned by Torre. In other words, it would be impossible for them to go back on their word now, otherwise the "Time Guardian" of "Cronos" would not be a vegetarian.
However, they really have no travel expenses now!
When Shi En had a splitting headache, Linslet suddenly said: "We are just getting to know each other. If you encounter trouble, I can't just sit back and ignore it, right?"
Shien looked at Rinslet suspiciously: "Are you willing to lend us money?"
Then he immediately became wary: "How much is the interest?"
This woman borrowed money and charged more severe interest rates than loan sharks, and she also attached various conditions, such as being ordered by her to do this or that. If he hadn't really had no place to borrow money before, he would not have borrowed money from this woman even if he was beaten to death. of.
"Look what you said, am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others' danger?"
Linslet blinked with an innocent smile on her face.
Who are you!
Shi En's single eye was filled with certainty.
"Don't just borrow it, you can try asking the people at Cronus for another check and see if they will give it to you."
Rinslet pretended not to care.
People will just think we are idiots!
Shi En knew the other person's reaction without even thinking about it.
People under the eaves had to bow their heads, so Shi En could only compromise and said: "Okay, I'll borrow it!"
"late!"
Shi En was about to give in, but Rinslet started to put on airs.
"I just wanted to lend you money, but you actually questioned my good intentions. I regretted it, I regretted it!"
Rinslet pretended to be angry.
"Okay, Linsi, I don't have time to argue with you anymore. If you want me to do anything, just tell me!"
Shi En said directly.
His sanity is limited, and he just lost a lot today, so he doesn't have time to mess around with Rinslet anymore.
Linslet raised her tapping foot and spread her toes as white and cute as silkworm babies.
"I just finished taking a shower, and there are still water droplets on my feet that I haven't wiped off. Please help me lick them clean!"
Rinslet raised her eyebrows with one eye.
Of course she didn't really want Shi En to touch her toes, she just wanted to tease this self-proclaimed gentleman and give him a blow.
Torre couldn't stand it anymore. He stood next to Shi En and spoke for Shi En: "Hey, Linsi, even if you are joking, you are going too far. There is no one like you..."
"..."
With almost no hesitation in his silence, Shien grabbed Torey's head, who was standing beside him, and pushed Torey's head onto Linslet's feet.
Let you dog couple... no, it's the cat couple who prank me!
Shi En said angrily.
