“Your sister! Like hell I’ll think of you! And what the fuck’s up with that disgusting tone of yours?!” Feng Yu Lan was creeped out on the other end of the phone; he was doubting whether Luo Jian was possessed by so up the phone for the second time
“fuck! I, your father, made a fortune and even planned to treat you to aan to feel indignant, and so he thren his phone in rage
On the other hand, Luo Jian was following the masked man into a private room on the second floor of the bar Bottles of ere strewn across the ground, and there were two ; they appeared to be in the ae scene Finally, one of the men called out, “Boss, some people have returned”
The ed uncle dressed in tattered clothes His hair was a bird’s nest, he even sported a five o’clock shadow, and his cheeks were also bright red froine that someone with this kind of appearance could still be addressed as ‘Boss’
“Oh, a newcomer How rare indeed…really rare!” This uncle was obviously drunk out of his mind He clutched a wine bottle in his hand, wobbled as he stood up, and approached Luo Jian to get a better look at him As soon as the man leaned closer, Luo Jian was able to make out the distinct smell of alcohol on the other man’s body, which ly, although this uncle was intoxicated and even looked as if he couldn’t figure his right from his left, his senses were nevertheless sharp; he could easily detect Luo Jian’s aversion, how Luo Jian kept his guard up and was distancing hih heartily and sit back down on the couch Setting aside the bottle, he said to Luo Jian, “Rookie, I’ll give a brief introduction of e here, and I’uide for all newcomers in this city Our rule is that we can’t say our real name, and we can only use a codename Everyone calls me ‘Boss’…or maybe Bosu1?

The masked man looked like he was touched by this old boss’ description of him, but Luo Jian swears he saw the masked man clench his fists under his sleeves; if not all, the corner of his eye twitched ever so subtly, suggesting how he really felt
However, the boss didn’t seem to be concerned about these particular details This thick-skinned person just laughed obnoxiously, then bluntly asked Luo Jian, “What’s your naive out a codenalish name is fine also The simpler is it, the better; it has to be convenient to call out”
Luo Jian thought about it; he didn’t have a nickna of that sort Ever since he was a kid and up until he grew older, he’s never received a nicknaive each other nickna, “Well then, call ht, Jean, what do you want to know?” The boss exposed aI want to know everything”
“Greedy little fellow Okay, sit down and listen tofor Luo Jian to sit Luo Jian nodded and obediently sat down, and the masked man next to him soon followed after and seated himself beside the boss There was another man inside the private roo contest with However, this man didn’t lift his head to look at Luo Jian, rather, he shrank into the corner and continued indulging in his wine
Luo Jian didn’t pay attention to theBoss instead, earnestly listening to hih you’re a newco from the cha that huies can produce”
The boss ian, “I do not knoho created these ]chambers; it hosts, or perhaps even aliens, in short, it appeared in our lives So having said that, its existence is reasonable
“We don’t have to investigate its origins; it’s fine so long as we knohat these cha, this great uncle didn’t forget to take a sip of his wine He sether, hiccupped, and then continued on, “These cha about miracles

“Wait! Great teacher5…” At this point in the lecture, the obediently-listening and well-behaved darling child, Luo Jian, raised his hand and spoke up
“Speak!” The great teacher was absolutely ied everything down
“You said that the first level all newcomers have to pass is very easy?”
“Correct”
“Is it really?”
“Why lie to you? Don’t tell me that the first level you had to pass wasn’t that simple?”
