Suddenly hearing his name from someone else's mouth, Warina's whole body froze, almost thinking that he had been recognized by the other person.
Fortunately, he reacted.
Wariner adjusted his sitting posture significantly and leaned toward Zerrell. He seemed to be interested in the commission he was talking about.
Only Varina himself knew that his action was to cover up his abnormal reaction at that moment.
He secretly felt lucky.
If he hadn't been promoted to Sequence 9 a few days ago and his control over his body had improved a lot, he would have exposed his flaws in front of the old detective.
"First tell me what's so tricky about this commission?"
While speaking, Varina also controlled the muscles on his face and fine-tuned his expression so that he no longer showed his relaxed face.
The incident happened so suddenly that he could only do so much.
"The main problem may be that I don't have enough connections in the gang."
Detective Zerrell laughed at himself first, and then added more explanations:
"One of my assistants found out that he had a conflict with the Dead Eel Gang in the dock area before he disappeared."
"But the subsequent investigation ran into trouble. The Dead Eel Gang said he was from the Gray Rat Gang, but the Gray Rat Gang said they didn't have such a person."
"It doesn't matter if the two sides have different opinions. The key point is that the person has indeed disappeared since that conflict, as if he disappeared suddenly."
Hearing this, Varina felt much more relaxed.
It seems that their current search scope is still concentrated in the Eastern District, and they have not been exposed yet.
"If that's the case, then I may have some ideas. I still have a lot of connections in the East District that I can use." Warina opened his mouth with a big statement.
Of course, he couldn't let others trace him. He must find a way to mislead them to prevent them from actually finding out something.
After hearing Variner's answer, Zerrell looked very excited and asked with a smile:
"Would you consider helping?"
"I still have some information about him here, and I may receive a photo in a few days. If you are willing to help, and when there is progress, we can share the reward, half and half!"
"Before answering this question, I need to know who the employer is and why I am looking for him?"
Varina strives to play an aloof bounty hunter, speaking in a flat tone and showing an attitude that's neither far nor near.
Zerrell frowned, feeling a little unhappy, but thinking of the gold pounds he might get, he still gave the answer:
"It's a student from Backlund University named Reyes Wilker."
"He claimed to be the young man's cousin. As for why he was looking for someone, I don't think there is any other reason needed to find a missing relative."
"How about it, do you want to help?"
"I can help, but I want 70% of the reward."
Varina learned to negotiate the price. After all, there was no bounty hunter who couldn't negotiate the price.
"I believe that with my connections, it won't be too difficult to find someone."
Zerrell looked at Varina steadily for a few seconds. After feeling his strong confidence, he took a step back and said:
"You get 60%, this is my bottom line."
"make a deal."
"At this time tomorrow, if you come here with the information, I will officially join this commission."
Varina sat up from the sofa, walked to the shooting area, and ended the unexpected conversation with action.
Behind him, Detective Zerrell shouted: "You haven't told me your name yet, how should I call you?"
"Lexa, bounty hunter Lexa Hunt."
This is the identity given to him by Figuero, and it is also the identity he registered with this club.
…
Green Park Street around 2 p.m.
Varina got off the double-decker public carriage and finally saw the long-lost sky through the light haze.
The urban area of Backlund is shrouded in thick smog all year round, and the sun is rarely seen for a few days a year. Warina feels much better when he can see the clear sky in the suburbs.
A gust of wind blew, and Warina couldn't help but shiver, and half of his good mood was immediately taken away by the wind.
The suburbs are much colder than the city.
It's late November now. He didn't feel cold when he was in the city without a coat, but now he feels a bit chilly.
Fortunately, I am physically strong, and when I start exercising later, this coolness will be nothing.
After Varina got off the car and walked a short distance, he came to the entrance of Green Park on this street.
Quinn was already waiting near the entrance.
To his surprise, Fors also came, and both ladies wore extra thick coats.
It seems that Forsi is still a little worried about me, or was she forced out by Xio?
The street was deserted, and the two ladies noticed Varina while he was still far away.
Upon seeing this, Varina greeted loudly and exaggeratedly:
"Good afternoon, ladies."
"I wonder if you feel as cheerful as I do when you see the sky in the suburbs?"
Obviously, the two women were not going to respond to him at this distance.
Oh no, Xio waved to him.
When they got closer, Warina asked with a smile: "Where are we going?"
"Are you practicing in the park?"
Xio shook his head, pointed further west, and replied: "Let's go over there, there is a forest over there."
"There is also a cemetery." Forsi added with a smile.
"Ms. Fors, do you think I'm someone who's afraid of ghosts and ghosts?" Varina spread his hands, "I'm good at being an 'assassin' walking in the dark."
Forsi shook his head and said smoothly: "Isn't it more interesting to be an assassin who is afraid of the dark?"
After saying that, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, this is a good idea, I want to write it down!"
She took out a dark red pen and a wrinkled booklet from her body, and carefully wrote down the inspiration just now.
"So you are a writer," Varina pretended to have just discovered it, and asked, "I wonder what works you have?"
"'Stormhill'."
Hugh interjected from the side and joked with a smile: "I have already written two parts, and she promised me that the third one will be a hit."
"Of course, that's what she promised me in every movie."
Varina did not follow Xio and tease Forsi, but nodded very seriously, "Maybe this time it will really be a big hit."
He didn't expect that "Stormhouse" was released in parts, and it wasn't even popular yet?
The woods that Xiu mentioned were not too far away. The three of them walked and chatted, and soon arrived.
This was an unmaintained birch forest. Varina and the others wandered around in it for a while, and after getting some white ash on their bodies, they finally found a larger open space.
Xio took off the oversized coat and handed it to Forsi, walked to the center of the open space, jumped, and said:
"bring it on."
"Follow me and do a few warm-up moves first, and then start the formal practice."
Varina nodded and stepped forward.
At the same time, Forsi hugged his coat and retreated to the edge of the field to make room for the two of them.
