Lin Yuxia had been watching Frez for a long time.
From the moment he reported the first gang, she had noticed this undocumented person of unknown origin.
After all, that gang was her target; those guys had broken her father’s rules.
Grey Tail Hall would naturally take action, but before they could, that fellow Chen Huijie received Frez’s report and led people to sweep everyone up.
The second gang was the start of her contact with him.
Right after Frez finished reporting them, she sent someone to contact him and then, in her private capacity, gave Frez a task.
She gave him her contact information, and not long after, he took care of a third gang.
Lin Yuxia felt it was time to bring Frez under her command.
She appreciated Frez; he had good abilities and was full of empathy.
As she prepared to inherit her father’s legacy, she naturally needed a capable subordinate.
The veterans under her father were all very powerful, but they weren’t hers.
Their willingness to help her was also because they were her father’s subordinates; they were willing to help her out of respect for the old man.
Unwilling to remain under her father’s protection, Lin Yuxia was desperate to prove her abilities, to succeed the “Grey Lin” and become the “Purple Lin,” so she needed Frez’s help.
“There are one hundred thousand Lungmen Dollar in this card.
The PIN is on the back.” Lin Yuxia pushed a bank card in front of Frez and issued her invitation: “Frez, join Grey Tail Hall and help me regulate the lower district.
Frez, you are very capable.
I don’t care what your past was like, but I hope you can join us and end the chaos here together.” Facing Lin Yuxia’s invitation, Frez adjusted his sunglasses, picked up the bank card, and said, “I don’t have any thoughts of joining a gang for now.
My new friends have already started calling me the Boss Killer.” “Boss Killer…” Lin Yuxia was speechless.
Frez was indeed a master of backstabbing; those who didn’t know better would think he enjoyed being in the backstabbing business.
“Aren’t you going to listen to the benefits?
Joining Grey Tail Hall provides insurance, various welfare subsidies every month, a stable salary, and social security.
Although rest time can’t be guaranteed and you need to be on call, everything else can match the treatment of Chen Huijie and the others.” Are you guys really a gang?
Frez suppressed the urge to complain.
“Thank you for your kindness, Miss Lin, but I’m not interested in joining Grey Tail Hall.
Currently, I plan to save some money and go traveling.” “Traveling?
Have you decided on a destination?” “Kazdel, Ursus, or Victoria, probably.” Aside from going to Kazdel later to challenge the Demon King, Frez hadn’t decided where to go yet.
There weren’t many good places on this land—who told this broken place to be called Terra?
No matter how beautiful the scenery, it would become scarred and devastated after a Catastrophe.
The reasons mobile cities could exist and travel steadily across the land were all because of Catastrophes.
Catastrophes forced people to make cities move to avoid them, and Catastrophes also leveled many mountains, making it less difficult for mobile cities to travel.
Of course, he didn’t plan to just wait around to die here.
If he didn’t have power, then living a stable life wouldn’t be bad.
But with power and a cheat, a real man living between heaven and earth—how could he be content to remain subservient for long?
Most importantly, this dump called Terra had no shortage of world-ending problems: Demons, Seaborn, Originium, and the Starry Sky.
No one knew where the world line might suddenly veer.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the people of Rhodes Island, but compared to Rhodes Island, he trusted himself more.
Since he came here, he had to do something, to bring something.
If he couldn’t achieve anything, then let Terra burn!
“Is there anything good about those three places?
As far as I know, Kazdel is at war, and Ursus has friction with Yan.
Most of its territory is in the tundra with a harsh environment.
I don’t know much about Victoria, but as the strongest country on the Terra continent, perhaps it has its merits?
But wouldn’t it be good to stay in Lungmen?” “There’s nothing bad about staying in Lungmen, but going elsewhere offers a broader horizon.” Frez smiled.
“The future era will have more opportunities, and I don’t want to miss out.
But if Miss Lin has business, please support me more.” “Alright.” Lin Yuxia could only give up for now.
Frez also planned to take his leave.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.” Walking out of the teahouse, Lin Yuxia looked at his departing back and said helplessly, “Dad, you can come out now.” Soon, a large grey rat walked out from a secret door and said with a chuckle, “My dear daughter, was I not right?
He is not one willing to live under others.” “But I don’t understand, is there anything bad about joining Grey Tail Hall?
We can’t be shown in the light, but I can arrange for him to go to other legitimate places.
Could it be he wants to be Chen Huijie’s assistant?” The benefits she offered were top-tier in Lungmen; even Chen Huijie’s current treatment couldn’t compare, let alone that he wouldn’t even have to go out and hack people.
“No, Little Chen won’t do either.
Little Chen is too naive compared to him.
Frez knows what he’s doing and what he should do in the future.
Little Chen is still too young.” “Dad, how can you tell?” “His eyes.” He had once secretly observed that young man.
His eyes were very different from the people in the lower district; they weren’t lifeless but full of vitality, while also carrying a deeply hidden…
disgust.
Disgust for his own situation?
Disgust for the people around him?
Or disgust for the environment he was in?
He didn’t know.
But Lin Gray understood that his daughter could not control this young man.
The Rat King, Lin Gray, stroked his beard and said with a smile, “He only does this line of work because he lacks money.
It doesn’t mean he’s willing to join, and he’s not a stable one either.” Lin Yuxia was not convinced; she still wanted to keep Frez and make him her right-hand man.
“I wasn’t well-prepared this time, but next time I definitely will be.” Lin Yuxia cheered herself up like this, feeling she could definitely win over Frez.
Seeing his daughter so stubborn, Lin Gray only shook his head and didn’t say much.
Some things needed to be experienced by his daughter before she would understand.
Meanwhile, things were getting troublesome for Frez.
After leaving the teahouse, he encountered a group of ‘kind-hearted’ people.
After a quick scuffle, those kind-hearted people were lying on the ground, contributing their wallets.
“Counting the time, I’ll go buy lunch.
By the way, I’ll see if there are any manga books to send to Kiana.
I hope she can understand the text on them.” Saying that, he bought twenty manga books, then went to buy some char siu rice and a bowl of fish balls, and sent a red envelope to Kiana.
At noon, he found a random restaurant to make do.
After paying the bill and checking the time, Furina had also sent a message in the chat group.
[Furina: It’s about time.
Everyone come, we can sit and chat before afternoon tea.] [Wišadel: Damn it, why are there Rusthammers at the Kazdel border?] [Group Mission: Saving Private W] A mission?
Now?
