Chapter 263: Lair

~7 min read 1,353 words

Seeing Anku's extremely reluctant look, Huo Ye Yingsi instead smiled at Jiang Xia.

This time, by using Ouzi in Anku's hand, they gained an advantage, and eventually they will be able to change Anku's mind.

"How about Officer Quan's sister?"

Huo Ye Yingsi wanted to speak but stopped; for this matter, he also had no better method, could only take it step by step.

"I'll take responsibility, I'll send her back safely." Jiang Xia nodded and said.

"Please."

After Huo Ye Yingsi thanked Jiang Xia, he then chased after Anku's retreating figure.

He felt he needed to keep an eye on Anku, otherwise if something similar happened again, Anku might cause big trouble.

Meanwhile, Quan Binnai stood silently to the side, and she also heard those words just now.

Although she looks just like her brother, she has a monster's heart.

Just now he actually wanted to attack her; she didn't know what to do for a moment, could only helplessly stand aside, like a soulless puppet.

Quan Binnai was truly heartbroken, that kind of grief from losing the most important person, leaving an empty space in her heart.

Jiang Xia had always known that the siblings' relationship occupied most of Quan Binnai's life; since their parents died, the two have depended on each other.

This feeling is very hard for outsiders to understand, and she never shows this side in front of others; even classmates tease whether Binnai has a brother complex.

However, for Jiang Xia, who just finished checking the data, it can be confirmed that the relationship between Binnai and her brother is merely that of relatives, with very pure feelings.

It is the kind of relationship where they depend on each other for survival, each regarding the other as the most important person.

Jiang Xia said, "I'll send you back; this area isn't very safe."

His gaze lingered for a moment in the direction Huo Ye Yingsi left.

Then he looked at Quan Binnai, waiting for her answer.

"Mm."

Quan Binnai fought back the urge to cry; her brother just couldn't return for now, not that he would never return.

She should stay optimistic, live well, and wait for the day her brother returns.

"Is this where you work?"

Jiang Xia looked at this multinational restaurant named CousCoussier.

The wooden sign also bore the slogan "Work dressed in clothing from around the world."

In Earth's memory, this restaurant was run by a woman named Bai Shi Zhi Shizi as the owner.

The background is very clean, the owner is a decent person, and Quan Binnai working here is safe.

The promise to Huo Ye Yingsi to ensure Quan Binnai's safe return must be kept to the fullest.

"Mm, thanks for sending me back, I will look into matters concerning my brother and that man named Huo Ye."

Quan Binnai nodded at Jiang Xia, showing no sign of having almost cried just now.

Both her actions and her heart are now full of strength.

In such a short time she could quickly compose her mind and understand what to do next.

This is enough to show that Quan Binnai is not someone completely dependent on Quan Xinwu, but has a strong inner self that contrasts with her delicate appearance.

"Then I can rest easy."

Jiang Xia put on his helmet, lowered the transparent visor, and rode the Riding Sales Vehicle away from the restaurant at high speed.

"Binnai, you're back!" Bai Shi Zhi Shizi exclaimed, seeing Binnai push open the door.

But seeing Binnai's expression, Bai Shi Zhi Shizi instead became worried.

She had rushed out anxiously, now returning with a lonely look—what happened? "Nothing, I guess it's good news." Quan Binnai forced herself to speak.

"You look tired, you should rest well today," Bai Shi Zhi Shizi said.

"Let's hire a temporary worker in the shop lately."

Night fell, and Jiang Xia finally arrived at the target location.

He parked the Riding Sales Vehicle at the roadside, turned it back into a vending machine appearance, and looked around.

To the north lies a nightclub crowded with bars; to the south are brightly lit high-rises.

And this outwardly dilapidated building is the boundary between the two worlds.

This is exactly when nightlife is just beginning, and the number of people strolling is gradually increasing.

And the office workers who have finished overtime also come out of the office buildings one after another,

they will go to some cheap shops to lightly drink a cup of sake to relieve work fatigue, then return home; and the next day the cycle repeats, this is their life.

Jiang Xia glanced around; the pedestrian flow was huge.

He sighed inwardly: "They really know how to pick a spot."

This is a gathering place of all kinds of desires; almost no need to deliberately choose, just tossing a coin can create a powerful Yummy.

Watching the coming and going crowd, Jiang Xia entered the building with a broken exterior and walked straight in.

Only now did he realize that compared to the inside, the outside was actually relatively well kept.

Inside, spider webs and trash are everywhere, as well as completely airtight, lightless enclosed spaces.

Normal people wouldn't live in such a place, which makes the usually cleanliness-loving Jiang Xia somewhat intolerant.

Jiang Xia entered, grimy and dusty, and began slowly making his way upward.

And he covered his body surface with a transparent film, blocking those lethal amounts of dust on the outside.

If that dust were to invade his body, he couldn't help but set fire to burn the whole place down.

And now, the group of four on the top floor of this long-abandoned building also noticed something odd.

They exchanged glances with each other.

The ones who had been building a castle out of chairs stopped.

Playing baseball also jumped down from the steps,

Looking at the magazine, they closed the front page in their hand.

And the one sitting on the chair simply stood up.

Three men and one woman.

A person with yellow hair wearing a hat, dressed like a hip-hop singer. (Kazhali, Cat-system Greed)

A person wearing a green leather jacket, with an arrogant expression. (Wu Fan, Insect-system Greed)

And another one is like a child with intellectual deficits but tall and sturdy. (Jiameer, Gravity-system Greed)

Three people simultaneously turned their gaze toward the only female among them.

Shouldn't be called a woman, but a girl; she looks only about ten years old.

Wearing a white sailor uniform and black short skirt. (Meizier, Aquatic-system Greed)

This is the lair of the four Greeds, and also their current dwelling.

"This aura is Anku." Meizier said.

"Hmph, Anku that guy, relying on Ouzi's power, stole a lot of Core Coins from me; this time I won't let him off."

Wu Fan punched and overturned the castle made of stacked chairs in front of him.

"My castle."

Jiameer sadly looked at the hard-built castle and let out a crying sound.

However, no one paid attention to him; even Meizier, who always doted on him, remained silent.

"Given Anku's personality, even if he knew this place, he wouldn't come alone; maybe it's a trap, maybe not."

Kazhali shrugged, saying indifferently.

Just based on the current Ouzi and Anku, even a pre-set trap couldn't defeat the four Greeds; that's also where his confidence comes from.

The combat power of the new era's Ouzi is even weaker and pitiful, not even half of the original king's strength.

Although the Greeds' power is not complete, at least it's stronger than the current Ouzi and Anku.

Amidst the sky-full of dust, they each reverted to their original forms, ready for battle.

Although full of confidence, Anku has always been the smartest among them.

If you're not careful, you'll be badly screwed by him; it's better not to listen to any of Anku's words.

"Wait a minute"

Meizier suddenly spoke, stopping Kazhali and Wu Fan who were about to act.

"This place is really too messy; we really need to clean it up properly."

Jiang Xia looked at the four Greeds ahead and spoke.
