Chapter 22: The Wealthy Woman Ye Chang

……

The hall suddenly went quiet.

Countless complex gazes focused on Lv Cheng, almost as if they wanted to swallow him whole.

Not taking the offer?!

You're not taking this? Are you blind?!

"Pfft, heh~" Ye Chang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Such a familiar scene; the first time they met years ago, Lv Cheng had said the exact same thing to her.

It's just that the child was small back then, looking cute and naive, but he has certainly grown up now.

"Little brother, are you a Magician?" Ye Chang asked.

Lv Cheng nodded and pointed to the service desk in the hall, "If you want to post a bounty commission, you have to go there."

You can also post personal commissions at the Hunter Union hall, but few people come here to do so; usually, they just call the City Demon Hunter Team directly, which is not only faster but also avoids middlemen taking a cut.

The Hunter Union also takes a commission on bounties posted; after all, they have to eat too.

This is also the main reason why Mages break their heads trying to join the City Demon Hunter Team; it's not only safer but also pays better.

"Can't I just ask you directly?" Ye Chang asked.

"I suppose, but I just registered and have no experience." Lv Cheng shrugged.

"Besides, I'm not short on money, so I don't plan on taking any commissions for now."

Of course you aren't short on money!

Ye Chang couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Before she left, she had given Lv Cheng a card with an eight-figure balance!

That was enough for this kid to squander freely in Bo City!

"Really not planning to take it?" Ye Chang raised an eyebrow.

"The reward I'm offering isn't small, one million, you know."

"One million?!"

Hearing this terrifying number, the surrounding Demon Hunter Teams and Hunter squads eagerly crowded around, but before they could even speak, they were forced back by Ye Chang's cold gaze.

Damn it!

The crowd's expressions stiffened; how could they not understand what this commission meant?

Damn it! This world is truly so unfair!

Being handsome really does come with privileges everywhere!

"One million?" Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Do I look like someone who is short of that little bit of money?"

Before Ye Chang left years ago, she had given him a card with an eight-figure balance!

Twenty million!

In a small place like Bo City, it was enough for him to spend carelessly without a worry.

At first, he didn't dare to use it, after all, it was money from the Black Vatican, but after he grew up a bit in the last few years and went to Magic City for a trip, he had someone check the status of the card and confirmed it was safe before he started using it.

So, he really wasn't short on money.

"Really not planning to take it?" Ye Chang pinched Lv Cheng's chin.

"The difficulty is very low, you know~"

"Not taking it." Lv Cheng refused.

"I'm not the kind of man who is available to just anyone, you should find someone else."

Ye Chang couldn't help but laugh, "That's truly a pity, but if you change your mind, remember to find me."

As she spoke, Ye Chang took out a business card with her phone number on it, tucked it into Lv Cheng's pocket, and turned to leave.

The crowd looked at Lv Cheng with envy and jealousy.

You bastard, you really deserve to die!!

"Trying to buy my body for a million? Who do you take me for?" Lv Cheng let out a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried that Ye Chang would torment him again, which is why he subconsciously ran to this crowded place, but it seems that after ten years, this big sister has become much more steady...

"Beep, beep, beep!"

"Hello?" Lv Cheng answered the phone.

"Sir, we regret to inform you that there is an abnormal flow of funds in your account, and service has been temporarily suspended..."

"..." Lv Cheng.

Awesome!!

She actually froze the card!

"Big sister! I think we can discuss this!"

Lv Cheng quickly got up and chased after Ye Chang.

Since she even froze the card, who knows if Ye Chang might burn his house down next to force him to come to her?

Damn! Ten years have passed, and this woman is still the same!

"Changed your mind so quickly?"

Outside the gate, Ye Chang looked at Lv Cheng with a smile.

Can't I handle you?

Lv Cheng only started using the money she gave him a few years ago; before that, he must have been using the little bit of money his parents left him, and only after that ran out did he start using her money, which means that after losing her card, this kid would instantly be dirt poor!

……

Half an hour later, sitting in Ye Chang's private car, Lv Cheng arrived at a dilapidated factory.

Looking at the rust-covered iron door before him, Lv Cheng's expression gradually turned strange.

"What... are we doing here?"

Could he have misjudged? Did this woman want to kill him?

"I dropped a bracelet in this factory and need you to help me find it," Ye Chang said.

"May I ask how you managed to drop a bracelet in there?" Lv Cheng asked strangely.

"No," Ye Chang said, taking out a key and opening the factory gate.

"You only need to know that the bracelet is very valuable, and the reward I am offering is generous enough."

The development of the Frenzied Potion was not yet complete; that night, the One-Eyed Magic Wolf less than twenty meters away from Lv Cheng had delayed its attack, even appearing to freeze in place, which completely defied the behavioral patterns of demons.

Was there a problem with the Frenzied Potion, the One-Eyed Magic Wolf, or perhaps, was there a problem with Lv Cheng!

"There shouldn't be any danger in here, right?" Lv Cheng asked.

Offering a million to come to such a remote, abandoned factory to find a bracelet—are you taking me for a fool?

This looks suspicious no matter how you look at it, right?

"Of course there is danger," Ye Chang turned around.

"There is a suspected presence of a One-Eyed Magic Wolf in here, otherwise why do you think I would be willing to spend a million?"

"Why don't you find someone from the Magic Association?" Lv Cheng asked.

"If there is a One-Eyed Magic Wolf, that should be their job."

The Magic Association is similar to the police, responsible for maintaining public safety, while the Hunter teams under the Hunter Union and the City Demon Hunter Team are similar to mercenaries and scouts; generally, the Magic Association issues commissions for these Hunter teams to investigate such safety hazards, and if confirmed, they report the situation for the Magic Association and the Military to handle these demons.

Of course, if one is confident in their own strength, they can also resolve it directly and claim a larger bounty afterward.

"If I let them come, my bracelet wouldn't be safe," Ye Chang said.

"When it comes to demons, their methods are very rough."

"Then you should also be looking for a Hunter team, right? I am just a newly registered Hunter," Lv Cheng shrugged.

"Do you really trust my strength that much?"

It wasn't that he wanted to talk so much nonsense, but if he didn't, and wasn't cautious, Ye Chang would suspect him.

The version of him that Ye Chang knew was not some fool who would risk his life for money.

Demons!

A Primary Mage facing a Servant-class demon alone is simply courting death!

"I saw the Summoned Beast you released at the night market a few days ago; it took care of that One-Eyed Magic Wolf with a single kick," Ye Chang said.

"So..."

"Was it you following me just now?" Lv Cheng's expression turned strange.

The logic checked out.

"It doesn't count as following, I just happened to run into you," Ye Chang smiled.

"If there are too many people, I worry about sticky fingers; that bracelet is very valuable."

"How valuable?" Lv Cheng asked.

Ye Chang shrugged, "Eight figures."

"..." Lv Cheng.

Impressive!

The Black Vatican is truly damn rich!
