'What a nice monster, good for quick kills' He thought but then suddenly realized something. 'Could she be an assassin from some underground organization?'

When Ji Liu made a look that he suddenly realized something, he saw that the woman noticed and suddenly started to walk calmly towards him.

'This is bad, I may get killed. Who did I even offended? Maybe I'm not her target. Better act indifferent and ignore.' His meal arrived.

Just as he was poorly acting calm and eating his food with shaky hands, the woman waved and greeted him.

”Hey Ji Liu! Long time no see! It's been months! How've you been?” the woman sat in the chair opposite to Ji Liu.

'FUCK! She knows me! I'm gonna get killed!' Ji Liu's face paled and his hands fumbled, but then he thought.

'Stay calm Ji Liu, stay calm and deep breaths. If she's pretending to know you, then also pretend to know her. Just talk and don't anger her. Deep breaths.'

”H- Hey! All's good, All. Is. Good. Yup! What about you? What about you? What've you been doing lately?” Tears started to form at Ji Liu eyes when he messed up.

'Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me. :'( '

”After my party got C-rank thanks to your help we made this city as our base and with the help of our reputation from fending off the Darth Mole, we completed a lot of requests and finally managed to complete the B-rank promotion test last month. I really can't thank you enough from back then.” The woman chattered as she pets her 5meter long Quick Strike Viper.

'Eh? You're from back then? Why didn't you said so earlier! Do you know how much pain and suffering you cost me as you walk slowly here?'

”That's nice! I'm on my way to Longyuan City to take the B-rank promotion test myself.” Ji Liu managed to resume eating.

The two chatted for a while longer before woman bid goodbye and left.
