Era of Breakdown

With Yaeji's keen perception, the change in expression of the skinny man just now cannot escape his eyes.

'The surface of the contract market is almost complete, so it's good to go and see what tricks this person has. ’ Ya Chongji thought about it, and then said, “Then go and have a look.”

"Come on!" The skinny man looked even more humble, looking like a dog's leg, "Two ladies, please come this way~"

Rita hesitated to speak, and wanted to correct the man's title, but saw that Yaeji himself didn't respond, so she stopped talking.

'Presumably the eight majors are too lazy to correct. ’ Thinking of the times Yazhongji was misidentified along the way, the corners of Rita's mouth curved slightly.

The thin man led Yazhongji and the two into the depths of the contract market, bragging about the quality of his "goods" while walking. Seeing the two people coming along unsuspectingly, the man felt a surge of fire in his heart.

‘It’s a pity that the figure of this noble lady is not as good as that of a personal maid. But with this face alone, how many drachmas can be sold... Plus her status as a noble lady, I think there are many people who like this. This maid... also pack her identity when the time comes, and sell it for a good price! When I have money...' (Note 1)

Yaeji, who didn't use his energy to spy on other people's thoughts, didn't know what the thin man was thinking. His eyes were attracted by the beggars on both sides of the street.

"Miss, miss, please do me a favor~ please do me a favor~" Seeing the two people dressed in beautiful clothes and extraordinary temperament, the sloppy disabled old beggar tried his best to reach out his hand, shaking the iron bowl in his hand, and a few coins that were polished to a silver light went back and forth. Collision, clanging sound.

"Go, go!" The skinny man who was dreaming of getting rich kicked the old beggar's bowl away, "Go away, you 'bad assets'! If you stain the clothes of the two young ladies, can you afford it?" you?!"

Seeing the skinny man's demeanor, Rita frowned unobtrusively.

Yazhongji stood still, raised his chin slightly, and said to the thin man, "Go and pick up the things."

"Uh...this..." The skinny man just wanted to reply, but when he saw those strange eyes without a trace of emotion, he was immediately overwhelmed by a pressure that made him breathless.

By the time the skinny man reacted, he had already picked up the iron bowl that had been kicked away.

'凎! ’ Recalling what he had just done, the skinny man’s face suddenly became ugly, and he didn’t know why he listened to that woman so suddenly. The commanding tone reminded him of that disgusting boss.

'It will enter my territory immediately, let her be arrogant for a while, and she will pick it up! '

Consoling himself, the skinny man stuffed the iron bowl into the old beggar's arms, just about to smile at Yaeji with a shy face...

"And the money, all back."

"You!" The indifferent tone made the skinny man want to explode, but the inexplicable pressure made him give up again...

‘Damn this stupid bitch*, I’m a fucker, when it falls back into my hands, I’ll make your life worse than death! ***! '

Although the coins were not small, it was difficult to find them in the streets and flower beds. It took a lot of effort for the man to find all the coins.

"Old man, do you know what these are?" Rita bent slightly, with one hand resting on her knees, and asked the disabled old beggar.

"Yes, yes! Thank you, miss! Thank you, miss!" The old beggar bowed to Rita and Yaeji, which made the skinny man even worse.

Rita pulled out a drachma from her skirt pocket—the currency Shakespeare gave her.

"Old man, this is for..."

"Miss, no!" The skinny man quickly stopped: "You must not give it away. There are a lot of 'non-performing assets' in this street. If you give one, they will all come to ask for it!"

The old beggar bowed to Rita again, said some words of praise, then moved his disabled body with difficulty, and left silently.

Rita straightened up, her face was no longer the usual gentle smile, she had a bad impression of the man in front of her.

"What do you mean by distressed assets?"

"What do you mean by them?" The man explained: "'Bad assets' are debts or crimes, garbage with no technical skills, and the manual work entrusted to them by the city hall can't do well, and they are disabled and have no offspring. , the bad debts owed have caused the city hall to die of headaches, and they don't know how to recycle the garbage..."

The man talked a lot, full of complaints about these "bad assets".

Rita's inquiry also pleased the man, further confirming that these two are foreigners. How can a local not know what "non-performing assets" in the contract market means?

"how much longer?"

After entering the alleyway, Yazhongji's question made the man's heart tense.

"Hurry up, you don't know how dangerous it is for us to snatch people from the bosses in the city hall. The more special skills the contracted slaves have, the more valuable they are. Our group is definitely high-end goods, you Just rest assured!

It's almost here, we have an underground banquet hall, and many foreign businessmen come to us to pick things up..."

The man is bragging, whether it is true or not, it all depends on his own imagination. In his opinion, it is enough to fool people into it.

"Right here, please come in~"

The man's smile is still humble, but the fire in his eyes can't be hidden no matter what.

Yaeji swept away with his invisible heart energy, and found that there was no so-called underground banquet hall in this house, only a few men in a hurry squatting in all directions.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, the door slammed shut tightly, followed by hooligans saying "Hey!"

Hey" wretched laughter.

"It's finally here, I***! I*** have been waiting for a long time! What are you fucking doing!"

Beautiful words spit out from the hooligan's mouth, as if dissatisfied with the slow movement of the skinny man.

"It's all to blame on this bitch! Damn it! What the hell! It's in my hands now, and I see you still talk to me in that superior tone!" The skinny man tore off his disguise, pointed at Yachongji and cursed, "Kneeling now! Please beg me, maybe I can forgive your mistake!"

"Oh~" Yazhongji sighed, "I really thought there was some kind of underground auction."

"They're all hooligans. It's normal that they don't have the energy to contact high-end talents." Rita chuckled, not paying much attention to everything around her.

"It's also very good as a condiment for a 'date'." Yaeji said with a smile: "It's still a common link for heroes to save the beauty."

Hearing the word 'date', Rita's beautiful eyes flickered. I don't know if it was Yaeji's teasing of Shakespeare's declaration of activities, or if it really meant it.

"Then Rita is looking forward to it."

"You guys? Are you still a hero to save the beauty? Hahahahaha!" The skinny man didn't panic when he saw the two of them, and the expression on his face gradually became ferocious and terrifying. joke..."

"Hahahahahaha! They just read too much romance in the big library! He is still a hero! Little beauty, brother is a fucking hero!"
