Chapter 163 Someone Else’s Gossip (2/2)

“Is this one of my conditions or an opportunity?”

“It’s both.”

Without offering more words, Unbridled Willow squeezed his legs against his horse’s sides, pulled the reins, and the horse’s head reared up.It let out a long neigh as it raised its two front legs. From afar, Unbridled Willow was exceptionally handsome. With that, he galloped into the dungeon without looking back.

The first thing Ye Ci saw as she returned to Red Lake City was the face of Green Hill’s Moon that was decorated with a sly smile. As he hurried his way towards Ye Ci, she wished that she could just disappear. Not every wish however, could be granted so easily. Green Hill’s Moon grabbed at her arm and smiled, “Boss! Boss! I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Let go, or you’ll die a horrible death.” Ye Ci’s hand was already on her Venomous Scorpion Stinger as she issued her threat.

Who are the scariest people in this world? Those who were not afraid of death? They were scary, but you could still put them down by simply killing them. Who was even more scary than someone who is not afraid of death, you ask? The answer is simple: someone who is shameless.

When a person is shameless, he can do a lot of unexpected things that will definitely impress you.

Ye Ci regretted associating with Green Hill’s Moon. His intelligence was vast and he was a decent person who could keep a secret. Besides, he was rather compatible with her in her last life. There was, however, a downside to Green Hill’s Moon’s character: he was a shameless person. As someone who was bad when it came to interpersonal relationships, dealing with such a shameless individual was something Ye Ci was incapable of.

“Aiya, aiya, don’t be angry! I merely wanted to forge a better relationship with you! It was not my intention to make a fool out of you.” Green Hill’s Moon’s face was lit up with a broad smile, as if Ye Ci’s torrent of abuse had not occured.

Ye Ci immediately pulled her arm away and turned around. She had no intention at all to deal with this person at the moment. The run in with Unbridled Willow had foiled her plan. She needed time for herself to decide if she could follow through with her original plan.

If Green Hill’s Moon would leave just because of that, he would not be Green Hill’s Moon. One could see a male Elf in shabby clothing wearing a mask following close behind the famous persona of Red Lake City, Gongzi You. As if it was not weird enough, the male Elf was boisterous, while Gongzi You’s expression was cold as ice. The sharp contrast was a sight for sore eyes.

“Boss! Boss! Just listen to me!”

“I’ve said this before. I’m not paying the downpayment. I’d rather face the penalty from the system for breaching the contract.”

“Boss, please don’t be angry! To make up for my mistake, I’ll tell you some gossip. It will definitely be very useful for you.”

“I’m never interested in gossip.”

With that, Ye Ci walked into the Mercenary Guild and headed for her room.

Green Hill’s Moon was still following close behind, “No, listen, you might be interested in this.” Seeing that he was still being ignored by Ye Ci, Green Hill’s moon stomped his foot while gritting his teeth, “Alright, if the gossip that I’m about to tell you is of no interest to you, I’ll cancel the contract myself, and not ask for the downpayment. How about that?”

For someone as greedy and shameless as Green Hill’s Moon to say something like that, it was like red rain would pour down from the heavens. For a gossip to be held by Green Hill’s Moon with such high regard, Ye Ci’s interest was suddenly aroused. She stopped abruptly in front of the carved doors and looked at him coldly. “Alright, come in and tell me what you know.”

Green Hill’s Moon was as happy as a inmate on death row who had just been pardoned.

As expected. Ye Ci was interested in this gossip.

Ye Ci had originally planned to get Green Hill’s Moon to investigate the background of Thousand Sunsets so that she would have a contingency plan if everything went wrong. She did not expect Green Hill’s Moon to come up with so much information.

Thousand Sunsets was indeed from a wealthy family with a long history. The family’s business was very renowned in Ye Ci’s city, spanning into multiple sectors throughout the nation. The person who wielded power in the family was none other than the grandfather of Thousand Sunsets. Despite being healthy and well, his grandfather was desperate to appoint an heir.

The family was very cautious when it came the the selection of heirs. Thousand Sunsets’ family, however, was rather lacking in terms of offsprings. The grandfather of Thousand Sunsets had 2 sons. The eldest was the father of Thousand Sunsets, while the second son was a willful child. It was said that he had broken ties with the family a long time ago. This incident saddened Thousand Sunsets’ grandfather, and he made the decision to leave all the family’s wealth to his eldest son.

In truth, among both of the Old Master’s sons, the second son was more talented in running a business. His interests however, lay elsewhere…
