Chapter 594: You Didn

Borugas stared at the reflection in the mirror—the exact same figure as himself—and asked hesitantly, "What do you mean by 'mixing with the target'?"

"Literal meaning. The debt collector you wanted to eliminate knew something, so they defected."

Luonan scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, as if he hadn't anticipated this situation.

Seeing his expression, Borugas was at a loss for words.

He had considered many possibilities, but never this.

After a brief silence, the Gluttonous Demon spoke without expression: "Luonan. I hired you for absolute certainty, and this is how you handle things? Is this the level of the 【Mirror Man】?"

"This contract was impossible to begin with! In normal circumstances, how could a major casino ever have a professional capable of eliminating that debt collector?"

Hearing Borugas's words, Luonan muttered under his breath.

The debt collectors of the 【Mingjin Society】 aren't just anyone—you can't take the job. If those people hadn't shown up, I was even considering returning the contract.

Besides, you didn't leave me much time to begin with; just finding someone willing to take the contract was already a miracle.

As if hearing the 【Mirror Man】's muttering, Borugas frowned: "Aren't you bound by a contract? Don't those people face any penalties for failing?"

"There were penalties, originally," Luonan shrugged helplessly. "But one of them is a great demon—every restriction I added to the contract was exposed. So the penalties mean nothing to them."

Upon hearing this, Borugas let out a bitter laugh.

Still, the Gluttonous Demon knew it was pointless to dwell on this now; what mattered was how to fix it.

He took a deep breath, forcing his emotions under control, then asked coldly: "What now? You can't have no backup plan at all?"

"I say just do it yourself."

Before Borugas could finish, Luonan interrupted: "You know my situation—don't say such unrealistic things."

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

"You've seen the unfamiliar faces near that debt collector, right? They're the ones who took the contract."

As the 【Mirror Man】 spoke, Borugas instantly realized who he meant: "Them? They don't look like they can handle that guy."

"Just disguise. Too bad it didn't fool me," Luonan shook his head slightly, then a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes. "But wait—it should've been five people. Why did I only see four?"

"And the one who vanished? The demon."

Upon hearing this, Borugas immediately thought of the young man taken away by Lavilin.

After a moment's hesitation, he informed Luonan of this.

Upon learning this, the 【Mirror Man】 snapped his fingers: "That makes sense—Lavilin might very well have taken an interest in that kid."

"So that's why they abandoned the contract—they've already locked onto their real target."

Seeing the reflection in the mirror suddenly look enlightened, Borugas scratched his head.

Before he could ask, Luonan explained: "They're looking for the group that robbed 【Giant God's Gravity】's cargo. I don't know where they are, but I can guess who's involved."

Hearing this, Borugas froze: "... You're the one who spread the rumor that the casino is connected to those robbers?"

"Impossible," Luonan rolled his eyes. "Lavilin. Probably."

"Huh??"

The Gluttonous Demon looked utterly incredulous—he never expected such an answer.

Then, as if realizing something, he opened his mouth wide: "So Lavilin is connected to those robbers?"

"She's insane?! She dares to touch 【Giant God's Gravity】 and 【Aio Logistics】's cargo?!"

Before today, Borugas thought his own courage was big—but now he realized the casino had even bigger players.

Still, according to Luonan's logic, it did explain why rumors about the casino's ties to the robbers had persisted.

It might not be a rumor anymore.

Luonan ignored the Gluttonous Demon's shock and merely shrugged: "I don't know if she's insane, but I know you're saved."

"If neither of us can act, why not let Lavilin handle it?"

"But first, you must confirm she's truly connected to those robbers."

Hearing this, Borugas's eyes lit up.

Yes—if Lavilin intervened, a fifth-tier debt collector meant nothing.

Thinking this, the Gluttonous Demon's ugly face twisted into a cruel smile.

As he pondered how to extract information from the succubus, Luonan suddenly spoke: "By the way, I should warn you."

"Those people are likely tied to 【Giant God's Gravity】 and 【Aio Logistics】—few teams combine dragons with mechanical professionals. I just don't get why a demon leads them."

This had always puzzled Luonan.

The former was understandable—mechanical demons were odd, but not unthinkable.

But the latter—

Of the Five Great Cosmic Corporations, 【Aio Logistics】 was the most exclusive.

If the demon joined the Bahamut branch, fine. But if it was the Tiamat branch—

They'd be beating each other's brains out on day one.

Facing this warning from the 【Mirror Man】, Borugas chuckled: "Lavilin did it—I did nothing."

"If those two want revenge, they'll go after 【Price Desire Group】, not the Society."

Hearing this, Luonan's eyes flashed with surprise—he never imagined this Gluttonous Demon could suddenly outthink him.

Too bad—even then, his IQ was still low. The succubus probably wouldn't do that.

With a sigh, he scratched his cheek: "Fine. If you have questions, summon me—but only about the contract."

He and this guy were never allies; helping him now was just professional ethics.

Of course, a small part of it was revenge against the succubus—after all, not everyone gets to make him take the blame.

With that, before Borugas could react, the reflection in the mirror vanished instantly.

Seeing this, the Gluttonous Demon didn't care—he silently pondered how to exploit his colleague.

After a while, he slowly opened his mouth, letting out a low chuckle:

"Hehehe"

"Lavilin, don't blame me—blame yourself for being so careless."

……

In a palace exuding lustful energy.

Li Ang was secretly observing Lavilin's every move through the seed left by the Double-Complete Hand.

What disappointed him was that, over these days, the succubus had shown no abnormal behavior—every day was nothing but wild fucking.

Perhaps because Li Ang had concealed his demonic aura using the Great Luo Insight, she had not summoned him since the last time.

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

After all, during these days he had already used the Double-Complete Hand to control many male servants within the palace.

'Tsk, could she really have no connection with those bandits?'

Just as Li Ang was thinking this, he suddenly furrowed his brow.

'What's this gluttonous demon doing here? Does Lavilin really have that much of a taste for them?'

In his line of sight, the other major casino operator he had met at Starport—the gluttonous demon named "Porugas"—had somehow found his way to her door.

As Li Ang wondered about this, he suddenly seemed to hear something, his expression instantly turning grim.

Meanwhile, in the vast bedroom, Lavilin, draped in a thin veil that revealed every curve of her body, lazily asked: "Porugas, you've always hated this place—why the sudden visit?"

In response, Porugas did not answer immediately, but instead sat cross-legged on the spot.

Looking at the succubus, who was still much shorter than him, he grinned: "Lavilin, haven't you been having a headache these days?"

"A headache?" The succubus opened her half-lidded eyes. "Why would I have a headache? It's not me who has to deal with debt collectors."

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

"What? Are you referring to how I captured several of your men as male servants?"

"?"

Hearing this, Porugas froze.

So that's why my men kept disappearing! I thought it was some random incident—it was this roasted chicken doing it!

But just as the gluttonous demon was about to rage, he remembered his purpose today and instantly calmed down.

No, I almost got sidetracked by this bastard.

He suppressed his smile and asked calmly: "You're connected to those bandits, aren't you? And you're the one who spread the rumor that the big casino is linked to them?"

Facing Porugas's accusation, Lavilin's expression didn't change; she asked with mild confusion: "Who told you that? Wasn't it the 【Mirror Person】?"

"I heard it from him."

"."

The succubus's smile faltered; a faint shadow flickered in her eyes.

She knew letting the 【Mirror Person】 take the blame would eventually backfire—but thankfully, this fool had no proof.

Thinking this, Lavilin sneered: "Porugas, you actually believe such a crude provocation? You've really regressed with age."

"I'm saying it was you."

Hearing this, Porugas shook his head slightly, as if he had expected exactly this reply.

In silence, he pulled an arm from his abdominal mouth and began gnawing on it, offering no rebuttal.

Lavilin frowned slightly, unsure what this gluttonous demon intended: "If you have nothing else, you may leave."

But despite the dismissal, Porugas kept chewing his arm, showing no sign of departing.

Seeing this, Lavilin's expression grew colder.

Just as she was about to speak, Porugas finally finished the arm.

After letting out a burp, he stared fixedly at the tiny succubus and whispered: "What if I told you that both of them are already watching you?"
