Chapter 757: A dupe, that's what

~8 min read 1,424 words

"Brother Yi, we are from the Chonghuo Bounty Hunter Group." One of the tall, thin men introduced himself as soon as he entered the door.

"You are from the Chonghuo Bounty Hunter Group?" Xu Tian instantly woke up halfway.

He had also recently learned about some bounty hunter group data on Wuji Island.

The Chonghuo Bounty Hunter Group was very famous on Wuji Island and even in the entire Western Alliance territory. As long as it was a mission they took on, they had never failed.

"Were you introduced by Yun Shuying?" Xu Tian asked.

"Yes, we are a bounty hunter group under Miss Yun, level one." The tall, thin man replied.

Like bounty hunters, bounty hunter groups were also divided into levels, with level one being second only to special level.

When the tall, thin man introduced himself, he first stated his affiliation before introducing the level, which meant that their level was divided according to the bounty hunter groups under Yun Shuying.

In other words, under Yun Shuying, they could only rank second, and above them, there was at least one special-level bounty hunter group.

He didn't expect the famous Chonghuo Bounty Hunter Group to be under Yun Shuying, and not even ranked at the top. This Yun Shuying really wasn't as simple as she appeared on the surface.

"Brother Yi, Miss Yun said to let us come help you." Before Xu Tian could speak, the tall, thin man continued, "Then before you formulate a plan, let's talk about the remuneration first."

Xu Tian was speechless.

It really was the familiar taste of people he knew.

Seeing that Xu Tian didn't speak, the tall, thin man added.

"This... as the saying goes, close brothers settle accounts clearly. If you don't pay the remuneration here, we won't be able to report back to Miss Yun."

"How much do you want?" Xu Tian asked.

"Miss Yun said that you would give a reasonable price." The tall, thin man smiled faintly, then added, "By the way, Miss Yun said that if you don't have cash, you can also write an IOU first, just like before."

"Fine." Xu Tian didn't say a word and wrote an IOU for him.

Then, he began to size up the four people standing in front of him.

A young woman caught his attention.

This woman had a slender figure and fair skin, looking as weak as a willow in the wind.

She discovered that Xu Tian was sizing her up, gave him a shy smile, and then shyly lowered her head.

Xu Tian:...

This style seemed a bit off.

A woman so weak that she needed others to protect her was also a bounty hunter? And was she classified in a level one group?

"Brother Yi, don't worry, we are all professionals." The tall, thin man seemed to have long been accustomed to this questioning and explained skillfully, "Miaomiao is just introverted. Her strength is the same as ours; she is a level one bounty hunter. And she has great strength and very strong explosive power. She once punched a 1.9-meter-tall, 250-pound strong man to death."

Xu Tian gasped.

Punched to death.

Sure enough, you can't judge a book by its cover.

He could even imagine how miserable the end would be for some men who thought this woman named "Miaomiao" was easy to bully.

"Miaomiao, this is our God of Wealth, hurry up and say hello to him!" The tall, thin youth guided softly.

The timid girl raised her head, her small face slightly red, and it took a long time before she spat out three words.

"Hello, Brother Yi."

"Hmm, for my missions, some unnecessary etiquette can be omitted." Xu Tian wasn't someone who cared about pomp, but small things like greetings didn't need to be taken seriously.

"Brother Yi is generous!" The tall, thin man's expression relaxed, and he said again, "Then tell me about the mission plan now."

"Yun Shuying should have told you the general situation, so I'll add a little more. You not only have to go to the meeting held by the Thorn Emperor with me, but you also have to cause a scene at the venue and stir up the conflict between us and Thorn."

"That's no problem!" The tall, thin youth took it all on himself. "We are a professional bounty hunter team. Let alone Asura, even if it were Wuji... ahem..."

Before he finished speaking, he was quietly kicked by another cold and beautiful woman behind him.

"Sorry, I went off-topic." The tall, thin man scratched his head indifferently. "In short, as long as the money you give, Brother Yi, is in place, there's nothing we can't do!"

Although he wasn't very satisfied with the number on the IOU for the deposit, it was ordered by Yun Shuying, so he couldn't say anything.

"If you complete the mission well, I will add some to the final payment as appropriate." Xu Tian said faintly.

Of course, with his current economic situation, he really couldn't add much.

Afterward, he discussed some specific details with these people from the Chonghuo Bounty Hunter Group and then let them go back first.

After these people left, Xu Tian also left the office and drove back to where he was staying.

After parking the car in the villa courtyard, he didn't enter the house immediately but walked out of the courtyard to the door of Qiao Jing Tian's villa next door.

The windows had already been replaced with new ones, looking like stronger anti-collision glass, and the outer walls of the villa had also been repainted, looking brand new and covering up those bloodstains cleanly.

Xu Tian walked up the steps and stood in front of Qiao Jing Tian's door, pressing the doorbell.

There was no response for a long time.

"Could it be that he's not home?" Xu Tian muttered to himself.

After waiting for a while, he knocked on the door hard again.

The villa was too big, so it was normal not to hear the doorbell and knocking.

This time there was still no echo.

Just as Xu Tian thought there was no one in the villa and turned to leave, the sound of a door lock came from behind him.

A few seconds later, the villa door was opened.

"You went to the wrong place."

This was the first sentence Qiao Jing Tian said after seeing Xu Tian with sleepy eyes.

Xu Tian:...

How could he not recognize his own home?

And who knocks on the door when they go to the wrong place?

"I didn't go to the wrong place, I came to find you." Xu Tian didn't know why Qiao Jing Tian's biological clock would be sleeping at this time, but he ignored the displeasure of being woken up and walked into the villa calmly.

"The windows and walls of your house are finished. I came to inspect them and listen to customer feedback by the way."

He blathered on without changing his expression, and Qiao Jing Tian didn't think there was any problem with this excuse.

"The windows are quite strong and don't leak wind."

The corners of Xu Tian's mouth twitched again.

If he had known Qiao Jing Tian's requirements were so low, he wouldn't have let Zhong Yu choose the ten-thousand-dollar glass.

"However... if the cost could be cheaper, that would be better." Qiao Jing Tian added.

"What did you say?" Xu Tian was a bit surprised. He hadn't asked Zhong Yu to ask Qiao Jing Tian for money.

"How much did you give?"

"The person you sent said the windows and paint were imported, and including labor costs, it was 500,000. Later, she gave me a discount, and it was only 250,000."

Xu Tian:...

What a total dupe.

Although this glass was anti-collision, even if you replaced all the windows of the villas nearby, it wouldn't cost 500,000. As for the paint on the walls, it was even cheaper.

These things, which cost only 10,000 or 20,000, she actually opened her mouth like a lion and charged 250,000, and she didn't report it to him at all.

"So, Mr. Qiao, you gave it to her?" Xu Tian asked silently.

"Otherwise?" Qiao Jing Tian glanced at him in surprise. "Who do you think I am?"

"Uh..." A dupe, that's what. Who else could you be? ===== CHAPTER 758 =====

"Otherwise what?" Qiao Jing Tian glanced at him with great surprise. "Who did you think I was?"

"Uh..." A dupe, what else could you be?
