Adventurer of the Elf World

"Bookstore...are you the person sent here by Miss Yuan?" Kurokawa thought for a moment and realized that this person should be the person mentioned above.

But why did you get here so quickly in just half a day?

"That's right~"

The hooded man slowly raised his head, but Kurokawa was even more shocked when he saw the dark whole scene.

Under the hood, there was actually a mask that looked like a child's toy.

But with the current environment and the dark aura of this person, it seems even more weird.

For a moment, Kurokawa was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.

Xiu observed Kurokawa through the mask. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.

But Xiu knew very well that the man in front of him named Kurokawa was only thirty-six years old, and he knew his situation even more clearly.

Because this person was the first batch of employees that Xiu personally selected, which is why Xiu wanted to conceal his identity.

This man knew him.

"Kurokawa, the boss trusted you and handed over the company's business in Joban City to you, but is this how you work~"

This statement made Kurokawa suddenly wake up. He subconsciously waved his hands and shook his head to explain, but he knew very well that he was certainly to blame for such a big problem in the bookstore, so he fell silent.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xiu had no intention of letting him go. He asked sternly: "Are you, the person in charge, also involved? Embezzling the company's property!"

When questioned like this, Kurokawa was even calmer than before, and replied calmly:

"It is indeed my negligence that this problem occurred in the bookstore, but I have not done anything to regret the company. The incoming and outgoing of the chain I control can be traced."

Kurokawa was originally just an ordinary worker in Qianhong City. Due to time and family reasons, he did not read much. He went to work in a factory at the age of fifteen. With his tenacity and eagerness to learn, he rose from apprentice to foreman, and his work also gradually Relaxed.

At the same time, he had a happy family, with a virtuous wife and two children. Everything was normal until he collapsed in the workshop due to overwork.

When he rested for a few days and wanted to go back again, he found that his position had been replaced by a new young man, and he was fired for a very ridiculous reason.

I have worked for the company for more than ten years, but I still haven't been able to get any justice. All my hard work in the past seems to have been in vain.

However, some familiar workers revealed to him the news about his days off. The young man was the nephew of the manager and had been interested in his position for a long time.

Knowing this information didn't change anything, his dismissal was a reality.

Although there was some compensation, it also meant that he also lost his source of funds.

In order to get back to work as soon as possible, he had to travel back and forth to many factories.

I thought he would be popular as an experienced technician, but reality gave him a hard blow.

Almost no companies are willing to recruit people of his middle-to-high age with potential medical problems.

Even if a company is willing to recruit him, it will be under the premise of constantly squeezing his benefits and salary.

It's just that he can't accept this condition at all, because this little money can't afford the expenses of a family of four.

The previous treatment had already spent all the savings he had finally accumulated, and at the same time, he was burdened with the financial pressure of the entire family.

The pressure from all aspects almost overwhelmed him for a moment.

Just when he was forced to have no other choice, a man came to him...

"If you have any problems, the company will naturally investigate them. I am only responsible for solving the problems." Xiu looked at Kurokawa's appearance and did not continue the topic. Instead, he said: "Let's go and work."

"Go there?"

"bookstore."

Xiu stood up from the sofa, passed by Kurokawa, and left the room first.

Kurokawa thought for a moment and followed him out.

Outside the rental house is a slightly old white van, which is the official vehicle equipped for him by the company.

After the two got in the car, they didn't communicate much, only silence.

After a while, the van left the old city and drove towards the bookstore.

Soon the car stopped on the roadside opposite the bookstore.

Kurokawa stared at the lighted bookstore opposite, then looked back at Xiu, and found that he was flipping through the books in the car. His leisurely attitude made him couldn't help but ask:

"What now?"

Xiu opened the books casually and said unhurriedly:

"The bookstore gets off work at 8:30, don't be in a hurry~"

When Kurokawa heard this, he could only suppress his anxious mood and stared at the bookstore opposite.

But not two minutes after Xiu finished speaking, Kurokawa discovered that the lights in the bookstore opposite had dimmed, and a figure was closing the door.

Upon discovering this, he quickly said: "He's out!"

Xiu looked up when he heard this, and then joked in a weird tone: "I left almost an hour early. I don't need to guess to know that I will be late in the morning, so I will be punished~"

For some reason, Kurokawa felt a chill when he heard these words, and the hair on his body stood on his head.

"Follow me."

Xiu threw the book aside and stared at the man walking on the street.

This is not a very prosperous commercial street, not to mention that people in this world mostly watch TV at home for their evening entertainment, so the street is empty.

After finishing his day's work, Shota is preparing to go home and enjoy a comfortable night life.

But suddenly he felt something behind him, and he looked back without stopping, and found a hooded man walking with his hands in his pockets and his head down.

The whole person was almost hidden in the darkness, and only when he passed by the street lamp from time to time did his outline appear, but his face was in the darkness of the hood, so he couldn't see his appearance at all.

Shota glanced at him, and for some reason his expression immediately twisted, looking at the hooded man with contempt in his eyes, and spewing some trash words.

"Tsk~ Little Lada on the side of the road..."

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking on his way.

Since coming here, his life has changed dramatically. Not only did he get rid of the tiring work, but his income also soared sharply.

As for the reason~naturally, it was because he was smart.

The bookstore key was constantly thrown up, flying up and down in his hand, and he hummed a cheerful tune.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps behind him made him subconsciously turn around, but this time he was greeted by a fist, and the way he turned around was as if he was sending his face over.

A heavy punch directly knocked him flying, his body spinning and then falling heavily to the ground.

The intense pain and the constant roar occupied his brain, and his entire soul seemed to be knocked out. Before he lost consciousness, he only heard the sound of brakes.

The hooded man picked up the key that fell on the ground and looked around.
