Lin Yühsia had been paying attention to Yunyan for a long time.
She had noticed this undocumented person of unknown origin ever since he reported the first gang.
After all, that gang had originally been her target.
Those people had broken her father’s rules, so Graytail naturally had to act.
But before they could move, Ch’en Hui-chieh received Yunyan’s report and led people to sweep them all up.
The second gang marked the beginning of her contact with him.
At the time, after Yunyan had just finished reporting them, she sent people to get in touch with him.
Then, in her own name, she assigned him a task.
She gave him her contact information.
Not long after that, he took care of the third gang too.
Lin Yühsia felt it was time to pull Yunyan under her command.
She admired Yunyan.
He was capable, possessed empathy, and because she was preparing to inherit her father’s mantle, she naturally needed a capable subordinate.
The old men under her father were all formidable, but they were not hers.
They were willing to help her because they were her father’s subordinates, and because they were willing to show respect to her old man.
Lin Yühsia, who did not want to accept her father’s shelter, urgently wanted to prove her ability, inherit the title of “Gray Lin,” and become “Purple Lin.” For that, she needed Yunyan’s help.
“This card contains 100,000 Lungmen dollars.
The password is written on the back.”
Lin Yühsia pushed a bank card to Yunyan and issued her invitation.
“Yunyan, join Graytail.
Help me clean up the lower city.
You’re very capable.
I don’t care what your past was like, but I hope you can join us and end the chaos here together.”
Faced with Lin Yühsia’s invitation, Yunyan pushed up his sunglasses and put away the bank card.
“I currently have no interest in joining a gang.
My new friends have already started calling me Boss Killer.”
“Boss Killer…”
Lin Yühsia was speechless.
Yunyan was very good at backstabbing.
Those who didn’t know better might think he enjoyed this line of work.
“Aren’t you going to hear the benefits first?
If you join Graytail, we’ll pay your insurance.
Every month, there will also be various welfare subsidies.
The salary is stable, with full benefits.
Although rest time can’t be guaranteed and you’ll need to be on call, everything else can match Ch’en Hui-chieh’s treatment.”
Are you people really a gang?
Yunyan suppressed the urge to complain.
“I appreciate Miss Lin’s kindness, but I have no interest in joining Graytail.
For now, I plan to save some money and go traveling.”
“Traveling?
Have you decided where?”
“Kazdel, Ursus, or Victoria, maybe.”
Aside from eventually going to Kazdel to challenge the Demon King, Yunyan had not yet decided where to go.
There were not many good places on this land.
Who told this crappy place to be called Terra?
No matter how beautiful the scenery was, after a Catastrophe, it would become a scene of devastation.
The appearance of mobile cities, and their ability to steadily travel across the land, were all because of Catastrophes.
Catastrophes also flattened many mountains and rivers, making it less difficult for mobile cities to travel.
Of course, Yunyan did not plan to live idly here and wait for death.
If he had no power, then living a safe and stable life would be perfectly fine.
But now that he had power and a cheat, then as a true man born between heaven and earth, how could he remain depressed under another person for long?
Most importantly, Terra had no shortage of world-ending problems.
Demons of the north, Seaborn, Originium, the stars.
No one knew when the worldline would suddenly turn elsewhere.
It was not that he did not believe in Rhodes Island.
But compared to Rhodes Island, he believed more in himself.
Since he had come here, he had to do something.
He had to bring something.
If he could not accomplish anything, then let Terra burn.
“There’s anything good about those three places?
As far as I know, Kazdel is at war.
Ursus has friction with Yan, and most of its territory is frozen tundra with a harsh environment.
I don’t know much about Victoria, but as Terra’s strongest land nation, perhaps it has something reliable about it.
But wouldn’t staying in Lungmen be good?”
“There’s nothing bad about staying in Lungmen.
But if I go elsewhere, the sea and sky are broader.”
Yunyan smiled.
“The future era will have more opportunities.
I don’t want to miss them.
But if Miss Lin has business, please continue to support me.”
“All right.”
Lin Yühsia could only give up temporarily.
Yunyan was also preparing to leave.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.”
After he walked out of the teahouse, Lin Yühsia watched his departing back and sighed helplessly.
“Dad, come out.”
Soon, a large gray rat walked out from behind a hidden door, smiling.
“My good girl, didn’t I tell you?
He is not someone willing to remain under others.”
“But I don’t understand.
What’s wrong with joining Graytail?
We can’t be placed openly in the light, but I can arrange for him to work somewhere legitimate.
Could it be that he wants to become Ch’en Hui-chieh’s helper?”
The benefits she offered were top-tier in Lungmen.
Even Ch’en Hui-chieh’s current treatment could not compare.
Not to mention he would not need to go out and cut people down.
“No.
Little Ch’en won’t do either.
Compared with him, Little Ch’en is too immature.
Yunyan knows what he is doing and what he should do in the future.
Little Ch’en is still too young.”
“Dad, how can you tell?”
The young man had once been secretly observed by Lin Kojui.
His eyes were very different from the people of the lower city.
They were not lifeless.
They were full of vitality.
At the same time, hidden deep in his eyes, there was… disgust.
Was it disgust toward his own situation?
Disgust toward the people around him?
Or disgust toward the environment he was in?
He did not know.
But Lin Kojui understood one thing: his daughter could not control this young man.
The Rat King stroked his beard and said with a smile, “He only does this line of work because he lacks money.
That does not mean he is willing to join.
He is not someone who can settle down.”
Lin Yühsia was unconvinced.
She still wanted to keep Yunyan and make him her right-hand man.
“I wasn’t prepared well enough this time.
Next time, I’ll definitely manage it.”
Lin Yühsia encouraged herself like this, feeling that she would definitely win Yunyan over.
Seeing his daughter so stubborn, Lin Kojui merely shook his head and said nothing more.
Some things had to be personally experienced before one understood.
On the other side, Yunyan was in trouble.
After leaving the teahouse, he ran into a group of kind-hearted people.
After taking care of them in three moves and two gestures, the kind-hearted people lay on the ground and contributed their wallets.
“Counting the time, I should buy lunch.
While I’m at it, I’ll see if there are any manga and send some to A’Quan.
Hopefully she can understand the writing.”
He bought twenty manga volumes, then bought char siu rice and a bowl of fish balls before sending them to A’Quan in a red packet.
At noon, he casually found a restaurant and made do.
After paying, he glanced at the time.
Furina had also sent a message in the chat group.
Fufu: It’s about time.
Everyone, come over.
Before afternoon tea, we can sit down and chat.
Bomb Royal Court Princess: Damn it, why is Rusthammer at the Kazdel border?
