Chapter 503

~3 min read 556 words

Vermouth returned to normal after a pause:

"The BOSS already knows what you've done, he should be summoning you back soon."

"Be careful yourself, and prepare well."

Hoshino Mu was silent for a moment:

"Prepare..."

He was just about to thank her when he suddenly noticed someone approaching from behind.

Hoshino Mu swallowed the words he hadn't yet said.

He changed the subject:

"Is it time for a paycheck?"

Paycheck?

Vermouth on the other end of the phone was stunned.

Hoshino Mu... is he that short of money?

The previous Hoshino Mu was only a peripheral member of the Organization.

The tasks he did were all simple chores.

Indeed, there was no money to be made.

And now Hoshino Mu has just joined the internal part of the Organization.

The BOSS will not feel at ease letting him go on missions alone before understanding him.

And for Organization members, no missions mean no money.

It's obvious!

Hoshino Mu is really poor!

"I will tell the BOSS that I will take you on the next mission, and you will have a salary."

Vermouth said helplessly.

"Okay, thank you."

Hoshino Mu hung up the phone quickly and then turned around.

Who exactly was the one who just snuck up behind him?

Hoshino Mu walked slowly towards the competition venue.

Upon entering the venue, he saw Mao Li Lan sitting in the first row.

She was staring at the ring intently, as if she had never left.

Could it be a reporter?

No, judging by the aura, it should be an expert.

Definitely not an ordinary person.

Hoshino Mu came to Mao Li Lan's side and sat down.

Mao Li Lan also noticed that Hoshino Mu had returned.

So she turned her head to look at him:

"Mu, what a pity, you didn't see it just now, the last match was really wonderful!"

"..."

Hoshino Mu opened his pitch-black eyes and stared steadily at Mao Li Lan.

Seeming to be judging whether what the other person said was true or false.

"Uh... Mu, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have something to do?"

Mao Li Lan felt a bit guilty being stared at by Hoshino Mu.

She looked away the moment she met his gaze.

A thin layer of sweat even seeped out on her forehead.

"No, it's just that the place where I work is about to pay the salary."

Hoshino Mu glanced at Mao Li Lan and then turned his gaze to the competition field.

Mao Li Lan doesn't really know how to lie.

It seems it's confirmed that she was the one eavesdropping!

Fortunately, it wasn't anyone suspicious.

"Is that so? Then you won't leave, right?"

The person eavesdropping in the dark just now was indeed Mao Li Lan.

But she didn't hear any suspicious events from beginning to end.

She only heard Hoshino Mu talk about "salary."

Hoshino Mu turned his head to look into her eyes.

His pitch-black pupils were full of seriousness:

"I won't leave."

Mao Li Lan smiled sweetly.

"810, please call contestant number 3, Mao Li Lan, to the stage!"

The sound of the loudspeaker on the field rang out.

Finally, it's time to go on stage.

Just at the moment Mao Li Lan left.

The gazes from all around were attracted to Hoshino Mu.
