All-Professional Master of Darkness

Chapter 169 The tavern owner’s strange commission

Lan Wu's curiosity arose as he looked the fat tavern owner up and down. He turned his head and glanced at Olvera. Seeing that the latter had no objection, he nodded happily and said, "Okay, if it's not too much trouble, I can agree to it."

"No trouble, no trouble." The tavern owner shook his head like a rattle.

"Then sit down and talk." Lan Wu chuckled and sat down again.

The tavern owner looked embarrassed, secretly looked back at the other people in the tavern, and then quickly looked away like a thief. He stammered, forced an embarrassed smile, and lowered his voice to invite: "Honorable Sir, it's best not to let others hear this matter. Can you go inside with me and talk about it in detail?"

Lan Wu looked at the fat man strangely. Don't let others hear it yet. This thing is really weird. Professionals don’t have so many secrets. This fat man, who is obviously a civilian, is so mysterious. He thought for a while, stood up again, and winked at Olvera.

"My lord, it's best..." The fat boss laughed dryly and lowered his head weakly. He knew that his proposal was too abrupt, and he didn't even dare to look at Olvera.

Oh, not even Olvera?

Lan Wu was happy and nodded happily. This fat boss is very interesting. I don’t know what kind of weird commission it is. He became even more curious about what would happen next.

The fat boss received Lan Wu's approval and saw Olvera sitting down without saying a word. He obviously acquiesced. He immediately led the way diligently and led Lan Wu into the backyard of the tavern.

The backyard of the tavern is huge. The kitchen and the like are all piled here. Several waiters hurried back and forth, delivering plates of steaming dishes. There is also a pile of firewood as high as a mountain in the corner of the yard. A little girl who looked severely malnourished was struggling to chop firewood with an ax that was almost as tall as her.

This little girl looked to be ten years old at most. She was thin, sallow, and skinny, like a child who had just escaped from a refugee camp. But she was meticulous when chopping firewood and was quite serious. She is obviously a diligent little girl.

"My distinguished lord, can you please take her away?" The fat boss looked at Lan Wu with concern and put forward his request.

"Huh?" Lan Wu opened his mouth wide and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. This fat man also works part-time as a human trafficker? His eyes turned cold when he looked at the fat boss.

Buying and selling people... I wonder what I hate most are human traffickers?

The fat boss saw the smiling Lan Wu change his face in the blink of an eye. He quickly kept his smile and defended awkwardly: "Your honorable sir, I am an honest person. I rescued her from a villain who specializes in human trafficking. I don't know her origin, but she won't say anything and won't leave. I have to leave her here to do some chores. You are a noble and powerful professional. I can ask you to send her home."

Lan Wu's expression softened. It’s not just about doing human trafficking. He smiled and had no intention of accepting this commission. The little girl herself didn’t want to leave. No matter how powerful I am, I can't take him away by force. What's the difference between that and Hundan who is engaged in human trafficking?

When he saw that Lan Wu had no intention of accepting this commission, the fat boss was so anxious that he almost cried. With a mournful face, he begged: "My lord, please do me this little favor."

"Uh...she may not be willing to go with me." Lan Wu was embarrassed. The fat boss almost fell to his knees. It's a good thing to send a kidnapped little girl home. But they don’t want to leave, so what can be done.

Kneel down, really kneel down.

The fat boss immediately knelt on the ground, begging with tears and snot, and strongly urged Lan Wu to take the little girl away. That look made people sad and gods shed tears.

"She doesn't want to leave." Lan Wu shook his head in embarrassment and nuzzled at the little girl: "Look at how diligent this little girl is. You have worked extra hard for nothing, aren't you happy enough?"

These words seemed to touch the sad part of the fat boss, and he burst into tears and burst into tears. It attracted the side glances of the waiters going to and from the front hall and back yard. But Lan Wu saw a little pity in the eyes of these waiters.

mercy?

The mere wage earners who work for others take pity on their bosses. What is rhythm?

Lan Wu was stunned, his mind filled with questions. This fat boss is really interesting. The capitalists are begging for free labor. This fat man got such a hard-working job for nothing... well, he was still a child laborer. But how much can a little girl eat in one meal?

Suddenly, a thunderous abdominal rumble sounded in the backyard. Lan Wu was immediately shocked. This was the first time he heard someone making such a loud abdominal rumble. He immediately lowered his head and looked at the fat boss. It's understandable that people are fat and behave strangely when they are hungry. Unexpectedly, he saw that the fat man was frightened by the sound of abdominal rumblings and his face was ashen.

What kind of rhythm is this?

Lan Wu was inexplicably surprised. This abdominal grumble was obviously not coming from the fat boss. At this time there was another burst of sound. This time he heard it clearly, it was coming from the malnourished little girl.

I'm afraid it would take three days of starvation to have this effect.

Subconsciously, his eyes turned cold again when he looked at the fat boss. As a result, the fat boss didn't look at him at all. He just called a waiter in despair and told him bitterly to bring the food over quickly.

Misunderstood him?

Lan Wu was at a loss. At present, it seems that this fat boss is not maliciously exploiting this little girl. This fat guy is pretty good. The little girl didn't take the initiative to ask for food when she was hungry, but he took the initiative to prepare food for the little girl.

After a while, the waiter brought out a large wooden plate from the kitchen. There are at least thirteen or four dry and hard noodles stacked on top of each other. Lan Wu knows this rough dry biscuit. The civilians in Camp Rogge used to eat this dry biscuit as their staple food. He also tasted it. It was as hard as a wooden board and the taste was not good. It's okay to satisfy hunger, but it's hard to enjoy it as a delicacy.

The waiter brought the wooden plate to the little girl, put it down and immediately turned around and ran away. It seemed that the little girl would eat him together with the dry biscuit.

The little girl is quite polite. She turned to the fat boss and nodded gratefully, then grabbed the dry and hard biscuits and wolfed them down. It was the size of a dry biscuit plate, and she destroyed one in three mouthfuls, without bringing any water. In less than five minutes, a dozen dry biscuits strangely entered her stomach. She licked off the crumbs on the plate, then turned around sheepishly to express her gratitude to the fat boss. Finally, she swung the ax and struggled to chop firewood.

Seeing this, Lan Wu already knew the plight of the fat boss. I'm afraid only a professional can support such a foodie with no taboos. The fat man finally opened a small shop to support his family. If you have such a foodie, why don't you rush in and give this little girl away like a plague?

"I'm embarrassing you." Lan Wu took out the bag of gold coins and stuffed it into the fat boss's hand, patted his shoulder and sighed. This fat man is a nice person and doesn't deserve to suffer like this. The latter felt sad and looked like he understood Long Live.

"I'll give it a try." Lan Wu nodded understandingly and turned towards the little girl who was working hard to chop firewood. Walking behind her, he hadn't spoken yet. Bruna suddenly made a confused sound.

"She seems to have a smell that I'm very familiar with."

Lan Wu looked at Bruna from the corner of his eye with a strange expression. After all, there are outsiders here, so it is not convenient to reveal the existence of the four ghosts of Rodament. In his impression, Bruna rarely opened her mouth and always stared expectantly at everything that looked edible. In this regard, she and this little girl do have something in common. Maybe I feel the same foodie soul.

"We must take her away." Bruna has become more mature than ever, changing her previous image of a foodie.

"Yes." Lan Wu nodded with a heavy heart. Eileen just couldn't keep up with her nutrition, so she was as thin as a stick. The little girl was obviously more malnourished. Not only to save the fat boss, but also to save this snack foodie is also a very important issue.

"Are you willing to come with me?" Lan Wu said gently behind the little girl with a stern look on his face: "I can take you home. I will make you eat before I take you home."

The little girl turned her head, her eyes full of contradictory emotions of expectation and suspicion. Obviously she didn't fully believe Lan Wu's words and still remained vigilant.

"I am the Divine Benefactor." Lan Wu smiled gently and rubbed the little girl's withered hair: "Have you ever heard of the Divine Benefactor? The Divine Benefactor is the incarnation of a god walking in the world. I am a god. The benefactor.”

The little girl's eyes lit up. The suspicion quickly faded away. Lan Wu felt relieved. This little girl has an extraordinary background. To know a name like God's Benefactor that is only left in ancient scrolls, it seems that her family background is not simple.

"Look, this is my companion holy weapon." Lan Wu smiled gently, raised his finger and pointed at the fifteen small amulets that were slowly rotating around him, and started talking nonsense.

The little girl's eyes became even more excited. Accompanying Sacred Artifact, what an awesome name.

"Are you willing to come with me?" Lan Wu rubbed the little girl's yellow hair again. Erin liked to rub her head like this. Now it seems that the little girl doesn't seem to be disgusted either.

"I...I am willing to follow you." The little girl may not have spoken for a long time, and her voice was very intrusive, but her words were clear.

"Boss." Lan Wu smiled and turned back, wanting to ask the boss to prepare some more delicious food. The dozen dry biscuits just now cannot really be considered food for children. Unexpectedly, he saw the fat boss staring at him blankly. He thought about it and couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the fat man had also been fooled by him.

God's favored person sounds noble, but in fact it is of little use. Except for feeling a little bit of authority in Rogge camp, other places are basically equal to zero. There are not many advantages, but there are many disadvantages. No, it can cause chaos wherever you go. This time when we come to Kurast Port, Mephisto might jump out.

Forget it, this fat man is a nice person, let's go eat somewhere else to avoid causing trouble to others.
