Chapter 592: Do you know you're raising a ghost at home!

Polugas looked at the figure in the mirror that was exactly the same as himself and asked with some hesitation: "What do you mean by 'mixed in with the mission target'?"

"Literally. The debt collector you wanted to kill must know something, so they defected on the spot."

Ronan scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed, as if he hadn't expected this situation to occur.

Seeing his display, Polugas didn't know what to say for a moment.

He had considered many possibilities, but never this.

After a brief silence, the Gluttony Demon said expressionlessly: "Ronan... I came to you to ensure there would be no mistakes, and this is how you handle things? Is that all the level a dignified [Man in the Mirror] has?"

"Your commission was already very difficult to complete, okay? Under normal circumstances, how could a professional capable of dealing with that debt collector appear at the Grand Casino?"

Hearing Polugas's words, Ronan couldn't help but mutter.

Not just anyone could be a debt collector for the [Underworld Gold Guild]. If that group hadn't happened to come knocking, he would have been considering returning the commission.

Furthermore, the guy in front of the mirror hadn't left him much time to begin with; it was already good enough that he could find people willing to take the commission.

Seeming to hear the [Man in the Mirror]'s muttering, Polugas frowned and asked: "Don't you have a contract? Is there no punishment if that bunch didn't complete the commission?"

"There was supposed to be." Ronan shrugged helplessly. "But since there was a Great Demon among that group, the restrictions I added to the contract were basically seen through, so the punishments inside were equivalent to nothing for them."

Hearing this, Polugas was so angry he laughed.

However, the Gluttony Demon also knew that dwelling on this now was meaningless; the important thing was how to remedy the situation.

He took a deep breath to force his emotions under control, then asked coldly: "What should we do now? You can't possibly have no backup plan, right?"

"If you ask me, just do it yourself..."

Before Polugas could finish, Ronan interrupted: "You should know my situation. Let's not talk about such unrealistic things."

"But don't worry, I already know what to do."

"You should have already seen the unfamiliar faces around that debt collector, right? They are the group that took the commission."

As the [Man in the Mirror]'s words fell, Polugas instantly realized who he was referring to: "Them? They don't look like they could handle that guy."

"It's just a disguise, it's a pity it couldn't fool me." Ronan shook his head slightly, but then a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. "But come to think of it, there should have been five of them. Why did I only see four?"

"And the one who disappeared was that demon..."

Hearing this, the young man taken away by Laveline immediately came to Polugas's mind.

After hesitating for a moment, he informed Ronan of this matter.

Upon learning this news, the [Man in the Mirror] clapped his hands: "That's it. Laveline is indeed likely to have taken a fancy to that little guy."

"So that's how it is... No wonder they chose to abandon the commission; it turns out they had already locked onto a target."

Seeing the figure in the mirror show a sudden realization, Polugas couldn't help but scratch his head.

Before he could ask, Ronan explained: "They want to find the group that robbed the [Giant God Heavy Industry] cargo not long ago. Although I don't know where that group is, I can roughly guess who is involved in this matter."

Hearing this, Polugas was stunned: "...Is the rumor that the Grand Casino is related to those robbers really something you spread?"

"How could it be." Ronan rolled his eyes. "It was Laveline... probably."

"Ah??"

The Gluttony Demon showed an incredulous expression; he never expected to get such an answer.

But immediately after, as if realizing something, he opened his mouth wide and asked: "So Laveline is related to those robbers?"

"Is she crazy?! She dares to touch things from [Giant God Heavy Industry] and [Aeon Logistics]?!"

Before today, Polugas had always thought he was bold enough, but he didn't expect there to be an even bigger expert at the Grand Casino.

But according to Ronan's statement, it seemed to explain why there had always been rumors outside that the Grand Casino was related to those robbers.

Now it might not be a rumor anymore.

Ronan ignored the Gluttony Demon's shock and just shrugged: "I don't know if she's crazy or not, I only know that you should be saved."

"Since it's inconvenient for both of us to act, why not let Laveline do it?"

"But before that, you have to be sure she really is related to those robbers."

Hearing this, Polugas's eyes lit up.

That's right, if Laveline was willing to act, a mere fifth-level debt collector was nothing.

Thinking this, a cruel smile couldn't help but appear on the Gluttony Demon's ugly face.

Just as he was pondering how to extract information from that succubus, Ronan suddenly said: "By the way, I have to warn you."

"That group is highly likely related to [Giant God Heavy Industry] and [Aeon Logistics]. After all, it's rare for dragons to team up with mechanical-type professionals. I just don't know why a demon is leading them..."

This was a question that had always puzzled Ronan.

The former was easy to explain; although mechanical demons were a bit abstract, it wasn't something that couldn't be accepted.

But the latter...

Among the five universal giants, [Aeon Logistics] was the most xenophobic.

If that demon had joined the Bahamut branch, it would be fine, but if it were the Tiamat branch...

They would probably be fighting to the death on the first day.

Facing the [Man in the Mirror]'s warning, Polugas couldn't help but chuckle: "It was all Laveline's doing, I didn't do anything."

"If those two companies want to find someone, they'll look for [Price Desire Group]'s trouble. What does it have to do with the Guild?"

Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Ronan's eyes. He didn't expect that one day the IQ of this Gluttony Demon in front of the mirror would be able to reclaim the high ground.

It's just a pity that even so, his IQ wasn't high; that succubus likely wouldn't do that.

With a bit of emotion, he scratched his cheek and said: "Then that's it. Summon me again if you have any questions, but only regarding the commission."

He and the other party had never been on the same side; offering advice now was just out of professional ethics.

Of course, a small part of it was to take revenge on that succubus; after all, not just anyone could make him take the blame.

After speaking, without waiting for Polugas to react, the figure in the mirror vanished instantly.

Seeing this, the Gluttony Demon didn't care, silently pondering how to utilize that colleague.

After a long while, he slowly opened his big mouth, and a low laugh came from his throat:

"Hehehe..."

"Laveline, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too careless."

In the palace exuding a lascivious aura.

Li Ang was secretly observing Laveline's every move through the seed left by [Twin Hands].

It was just a bit disappointing that the succubus hadn't shown any abnormalities in the past few days, doing the deed every single day.

Perhaps because Li Ang used [Great Luo Cave View] to cover his demon aura, she hadn't summoned him again since the last time.

But dragging it out like this wasn't a solution. Li Ang had decided that if no useful information was found within three days, he would take more aggressive action.

After all, he had already used [Twin Hands] to control quite a few male servants in the palace during these days.

'Tsk... could it be that she really has nothing to do with those robbers?'

Just as Li Ang was thinking this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows.

'What is this Gluttony Demon doing here? Does Laveline have such heavy tastes?'

At this moment, in his line of sight, the other person in charge of the Grand Casino he had seen at the starport, the Gluttony Demon named "Polugas," had come knocking for some reason.

Just as Li Ang was feeling puzzled, he seemed to hear something, and his expression instantly became extremely serious.

At the same time, in the large bedroom, Laveline was draped in a thin gauze that couldn't hide her graceful body, and asked lazily: "Polugas, don't you always hate my place? Why did you suddenly think of visiting?"

Facing the inquiry, Polugas didn't answer immediately, but sat cross-legged on the spot.

Looking at the succubus who was still much shorter than him, he grinned: "Laveline, you must have a headache these days, right?"

"Headache?" The succubus opened her half-closed eyes. "Why would I have a headache? It's not me who needs to deal with the debt collector."

"Is that so? But I know everything you've been doing behind the scenes."

"What matter? Could it be that I caught many of your subordinates to serve as male servants before?"

"?"

Hearing this, Polugas was stunned.

There was such a thing?! He said why his subordinates would disappear from time to time; it turned out it was this slut in front of him!

However, just as the Gluttony Demon wanted to get angry, he remembered today's purpose and instantly regained his calm.

No, he was almost led astray by this guy.

He restrained the smile on his face and asked very calmly: "You are related to those robbers, right? The news that the Grand Casino is related to them was also spread by you, right?"

Facing Polugas's accusation, Laveline's expression didn't change, and she asked with slight confusion: "Who did you hear that from? Wasn't it done by that [Man in the Mirror]?"

"I heard it from him."

"..."

The succubus's smile stalled, and a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in her eyes.

She knew that letting that [Man in the Mirror] take the blame would cause problems. Fortunately, this idiot in front of her had no evidence.

Thinking this, Laveline curled her lips and said: "Polugas, you actually believe in such low-level provocation; you're really getting worse as you age."

"I could also say it was you who did it."

Hearing this, Polugas shook his head slightly, as if he had expected the succubus to say so.

In silence, he pulled an arm from the big mouth on his abdomen and started gnawing on it, without refuting.

Laveline frowned slightly, unable to figure out what this Gluttony Demon was planning for a moment: "If there's nothing else, you can go."

But facing the order to leave, Polugas continued to gnaw on the arm in his hand, with no intention of leaving at all.

Seeing this, Laveline's expression turned cold.

Just as she wanted to say something, Polugas finally finished eating the arm.

After a burp, he stared fixedly at the tiny succubus in front of him and said softly: "Then what if I tell you that those two companies have already set their sights on you?"
