Offensive Charm (Chapter 121)
Do you want the transformation potion?
Of course I want it, it’s free lottery points!!!
(✪ω✪)
Ye Sheng screamed internally. But considering the tense standoff right now, she didn’t want to be the first to break the deadlock.
This wasn’t just Sen Lan’s group trying to double-cross them, there were others on the scene itching to jump in.
Who knew how many more would join the ‘fight’ later!
So while the potion was tempting, Ye Sheng valued her life more!
“I don’t want it!”
With that thought, Ye Sheng quickly shook her head. Worried that Gu Luoyu might act recklessly, she immediately wrapped her arms around one of Gu Luoyu’s arms, pinning her in place.
Then she spoke seriously, “Gu Luoyu, I don’t want you to take unnecessary risks, especially ones we can avoid. Let them fight among themselves, we should get out of here.”
Even though Gu Luoyu was a powerful Esper, if they ran into the Black Market’s hired Espers… Even if they won the fight, the Black Market had connections within the base. They wouldn’t just let thieves go unpunished.
Who knew if their faces would end up on the wanted list?
(ㅍ_ㅍ)
Sen Lan and his crew were fearless, acting like they had nothing to lose, if things went south, they could just flee the base and survive outside.
But Ye Sheng had just bought a house in the Safe Zone’s outer district. Only a fool would abandon a home to live in a shack.
Just as Ye Sheng firmly resolved to leave, Gu Luoyu tilted her head slightly, resting a finger against her cheek.
Her crimson eyes watched Ye Sheng’s ever-changing expressions with amusement.
But outwardly, she sighed regretfully. “Thanks for worrying about me, Ye Sheng. If you don’t want to take the risk, then forget it. I already had a plan to trick the Black Market, get the potion and make them swallow the loss without a word… But since you’re so concerned, we’ll leave it.”
“……”
Ye Sheng: >_д<)
When Ye Sheng crouched near the booth, peering at the black box like a curious cat, her puppy-like eagerness, resembling a small dog yearning for meat and bones, successfully amused Gu Luoyu.
Pleased, Gu Luoyu stopped teasing her and instead raised a hand to ruffle Ye Sheng’s hair.
After that, she didn’t explain the solution she had in mind. She simply tossed out a “sit here and wait” before swiftly leaving her seat.
By the time Ye Sheng looked up again, Gu Luoyu was already gone.
Yet, Ye Sheng felt no panic, only excitement.
Her dark eyes sparkled brightly as she sat in place, fists clenched at her sides, eagerly awaiting Gu Luoyu’s return.
Surprise me.
However, she couldn’t help but glance at Mo Lin, who was trembling beside her.
He stared nervously at the other side of the booth, completely oblivious to what had just happened.
Weird.
Even if Mo Lin was overwhelmed by this "grand scene," he wouldn’t have missed Gu Luoyu’s departure… Then again, given Gu Luoyu’s abilities, she might have used her power to diminish her own presence.
Whatever, why overthink it?
Instead, she should focus on…
How to spend those spicy lottery points once the potion arrives~
(^▽^)
……
After successfully killing the Black Market Guard, Sen Lan didn’t celebrate.
Instead, he frowned, his gaze lingering on the corpses and black boxes near the booth before he sighed in resignation.
He had underestimated his opponent.
The fact that the black market hadn’t retaliated yet meant they were preparing for something bigger.
So, even after taking down one of theirs, Sen Lan didn’t act recklessly. He simply instructed Chen Yuan to recover her stamina quickly; they'd need it for the battle ahead.
Even if they can’t dominate, they can still seize an opportunity.
All they needed was to secure one box of top-grade transformation potions.
Now, it was a waiting game, to see who would break first.
Just as Sen Lan mulled this over, a commotion erupted from the far right side of the venue.
Someone’s making their move.
