Chapter 162: The Mysterious Formation: Illusionary Land of the Myriad Kingdoms (1/2)

Zhuang Ming did not immediately answer Bai Xiaofei. He instead turned and asked Rui Mengqi, “How much longer before your contract ends?”

Rui Mengqi blinked and answered, “It’s my last day today.” It was as if she knew no fear; not a single trace of the nervousness of facing one’s superior could be seen on her.

“In a while, go receive your commission for this deal. And take an additional couple hundred thousand Amethyst Coins as well. From then on you’ll belong to this young brother.” Zhuang Ming turned and looked at Bai Xiaofei again. “Young brother, are you satisfied with this arrangement?”

“You are indeed fitting to be a vice president. I believe our next meeting will also be a pleasant one.” Bai Xiaofei stretched out his right hand, and Zhuang Ming shook it.

The vice president, however, did not make a comment on Bai Xiaofei’s evaluation of him. A casino was a place where one party would be happy while the other would be sad. It was impossible for both parties to feel happy at the same time, and Zhuang Ming was certain that Bai Xiaofei would definitely not be the happy one. “I will be looking forward to our next meeting.”

Sly smiles simultaneously appeared on their faces, and both the smiles were nearly identical. To the side, Fang Ye gulped.

Is this the “merchant’s smile” father once mentioned? Big Brother Fei is indeed a natural merchant…

By the time Bai Xiaofei and Fang Ye left the Babel Merchant House, their group of two had become a group of three. Rui Mengqi had taken off her purple cheongsam uniform and was now wearing…a maid outfit. There had been no other option. According to Rui Mengqi, it was the only clothing she had, but when she put it on, Bai Xiaofei and Fang Ye no longer dared to take an extra glance at her.

Imagine the scene of an innocent maiden wearing a maid outfit and walking by one’s side as she unceasingly asked questions.

This was precisely what was happening to Bai Xiaofei and Fang Ye.

While they were on their way to their destination, Bai Xiaofei suddenly looked at Fang Ye and spoke with an extremely serious expression, “I have a mission for you.”

Fang Ye’s heart throbbed when he saw how serious Bai Xiaofei seemed.

Nothing good will come out of this!

“Can I reject your mission?” Fang Ye gulped and expressed his true thoughts.

Bai Xiaofei patted Fang Ye’s shoulder and spoke earnestly, “If you’re hoping I won’t be able to participate in the tournament tomorrow, feel free to reject.”

Fang Ye took a deep breath and decided to accept his fate, placing his life in Bai Xiaofei’s hands. “You have to think of a way out for me, then.”

“Don’t worry. When have I ever disappointed you?”

“You have indeed never disappointed me when it mattered. But when it comes to small issues like this, you haven’t exactly been trustworthy…,” Fang Yue remarked mercilessly, causing an awkward expression to appear on Bai Xiaofei’s face.

“What are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a word you’re saying?” Rui Mengqi approached them. As if intending to frighten the two to death, she offered, “If you can’t do the mission, leave it to me! I am very competent!”

“It’s nothing,” Bai Xiaofei said. “Fang Ye will be the one to bring you to your new workplace. Follow him. He will arrange everything.”

Fang Ye sighed. His guess had been correct after all. This was indeed what Bai Xiaofei had in mind.
