Chapter 200 Optimism
Until the mercenaries' footsteps gradually faded away, the landlord outside the door groaned, turned his head and said, "Human woman, you're causing me trouble again!"
Huang Xuan's lively voice also rang: "What do you mean to cause trouble? Those mercenaries were not sent by me! I haven't held you responsible yet! When someone introduced this house to me, he said that although it was small and broken and it was difficult for the landlord to deal with, it was the safest place in District 5. As a result, they almost broke into the door!"
The landlord said in a deep voice: "No one can break my door!"
Huang Xuan said, "Yes, no one can break through your door, and no one can owe you rent. The legend of the red faced man, I heard the agent go over and over again on the way to [Leave], and I wouldn't have chosen you as a broken place. In short, you did help me block those gangsters outside the door. Although I suffered some thrills in the process, I didn't care about you anymore. Let's just count on your good performance, I will hand over the rent to you tomorrow."
"……snort!"
The landlord let out a very dissatisfied groan, but he didn't say much after all, and slowly walked away with heavy steps.
Then, Huang Xuan let out a long sigh, then opened the door, and came to Sean with a bowl of steaming mixed porridge in one hand, Zhan Yan smiled.
"Didn't you scare you?"
Looking at Huang Xuan's sincere smile, Sean quietly withdrew the lightsaber in his hand and said, "Some unexpected."
After a pause, Sean asked again: "I will cause you a lot of trouble if I stay here..."
"Nothing hassle." Huang Xuan interrupted, "They have eaten it once and will not come easily again. The red-faced person has a strong deterrence here. I originally thought it was the agent who was bragging, but it seemed that he was well-deserved just now."
"I'm not referring to those mercenaries, but the landlord himself... He should know that I'm here, right?"
Huang Xuan said: "Well, the landlord knows every property he has. I will drag you back from the hub and hide it at home. I can hide it from others on the road, but I can't hide it from the landlord. But he will not interfere. Compared to the hiding criminals, his tenants have done more excessive things... Speaking of which, how could you come here and become a wanted criminal full of scars?"
Sean could only say: "It's hard to describe...what are you? Why did you come here?"
Huang Xuan replied excitedly: "Because there are many opportunities here! Although the Silver Knights arranged jobs for us on the [Xun] side, it was obviously a novice benefit, and the content and income were ordinary. With the salary of being a tavern waiter, I don't know how long it would take to pay off the debt."
Sean was extremely surprised: "Debt? Did Li Yu arrange debts for you?"
Huang Xuan said: "Yes, but it's very reasonable. A group of strangers like us came to the hometown of the Silver Knights. We have to rely on others for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and we can't let others pay for it free of charge."
Sean opened his mouth, but still had nothing to say.
Although he spent a lot of money to help rescue this group of people, the money was only used to save people for a while, not for a lifetime. When Huang Xuan and others arrived in the abandoned area safely, the contract between Sean and his teammates ended. After that, Li Yu's placement of these survivors was another matter.
"And I think it's a good thing to have debts." Huang Xuan said, and stuffed the porridge bowl into Sean's hands. "In fact, most of our survivors cannot accept the huge gap in reality and are confused all day long. If there is no debt pressure, I'm afraid that they will die in their spirits if they last within three or five days. Now they can at least live to pay off their debts."
Huang Xuan said, and she laughed: "People like me who speak to creditors generally have to be beaten as labor thieves, right? So I can't stay in [Xun] anymore. Everyone around me treats me as a monster or even an insider. By joining forces to squeeze me out, I gained the meaning of survival... Although I was very happy to see them cheer up, it was really uncomfortable for me to get stuck in the crowd. It happened that there was an expatriate labor business, so I came to [Li]."
"At this point, I am mainly responsible for taking over the previous liaison staff and doing odd jobs for the Knights' import and export trade in Tianhuang District. But because I am a newcomer and Tianhuang District, my salary is higher than being a waiter in a deserted area, and I can't go much higher, so I can only save money. The agency responsible for contacting here recommended the red-faced person to me."
"Oh, Red Face is his nickname. He is a Kratoin man. He is called Red Face because of his red skin. Legend has it that he has a close relationship with the Huts and is very generous in [Li]. Although he is only a landlord, no one in Tianhuang District dares to offend him. The group of mercenaries just arrived just now and didn't know the rules. Real old fry know how to avoid the Red Face house."
Although Huang Xuan's experience was only a few words, Sean couldn't help but feel silent.
The shriveling girl had become positive and optimistic, and bravely took her pioneering steps to Tianhuang District. This was simply the best portrayal of rebirth from the fire... and this also made the apprentice who was determined to save people at that time feel strongly relieved.
With this feeling, Sean felt a strong flavor spreading in his mouth after taking a bite of mixed porridge, which was quite different from the mellow and rich mixed cooked flavor in Tianxuan District. It was a strong smell that stimulated people almost lost consciousness...
"Hehe, aren't you used to eating it? But this is actually a special delicacy on this street, which is very popular. It is said that even people from Tianxuan District came to eat specifically. The people who cooked mixed cooking made a unique courtyard in District 1. They were free for a while. Later, they became addicted to gambling and lost the courtyard, and then came back to practice their old skills."
With a bit of joking, Huang Xuan also took out a spoon and scooped a spoonful of thick meat paste into her mouth. Then she trembled and let out a long list of painful low moans. But when she swallowed the meat paste, she still stretched out her expression, wiped her sweat, and said, "I kept telling myself that when I can fall in love with this thing, I will be a qualified local!"
Sean couldn't help laughing, and picked up the spoon and swallowed it in big mouthfuls... To be honest, although the taste of this mixed porridge was a bit special, compared to the "customs and delicacies" he experienced when he followed his master to travel around the country, the cooking skills of Ramo people were quite approachable. He was just a little stimulated by the first bite. Once he was mentally prepared, this nutrition-rich food was the best food for him who was seriously injured and continued to reply.
While Sean was having a feast, Huang Xuan asked, "What are you? What are you here to do? Does the Hongxing Team have a new mission in [Lei]?"
Sean was silent for a moment and said, "No, I took my own initiative this time, and I have also implicated many people for this."
"Is that true? But it must have saved a lot of people, right?"
