Chapter 595: My Job Panel—How Is It in an Anime Style? Chapter 280

"."

Hearing this, Ravelin immediately swallowed the words at the tip of her throat, and she began to wonder whether the glutton demon before her truly knew something.

More precisely, whether that 【Person in the Mirror】 truly knew something, since she had never doubted the other's ability in intelligence gathering.

After a long moment of thought, Ravelin let out a soft breath, then shook her head and said, "Speak, what do you want?"

The moment those words left her mouth, Borugas's eyes went wide. "You really are in contact with that group?!"

"?"

She'd been bluffed!

In an instant, Ravelin realized this.

Her face immediately darkened; she never imagined that one day she would actually lose out in a game of wits to a glutton demon.

Of course, she couldn't blame the succubus, since these past few days her stress had nearly maxed out, and combined with the existence of that 【Person in the Mirror】, she truly felt she must have let some flaw show somewhere.

But this was no time for regrets. Ravelin began to consider how much effort it would take to kill the glutton demon before her.

But before she could reach a conclusion, Borugas had already recovered from his shock. "Don't worry, as long as you do one thing for me, I won't go blabbing."

"What thing?"

"Help me kill the debt collector."

Hearing this, Ravelin couldn't help but pause, then the corner of her mouth curved into a faintly mocking smile. "So you're not clean either."

"So you don't need to worry about me spreading your business around."

A low laugh rumbled out of Borugas.

He could naturally use this leverage to hold Ravelin over her entire life, but doing so might very well drive her to choose mutual destruction.

So the glutton demon chose to exchange leverage instead; that way the two of them would be grasshoppers on the same string.

Sure enough, after hearing Borugas's words, Ravelin suppressed the thought of killing him and nodded very readily. "Fine, I agree."

"But the people from those two families need you to take care of for me."

In her view, since those two families had chosen to investigate covertly, it meant they weren't prepared to escalate the matter.

Therefore, by exchanging kills, she could easily shake off suspicion.

She would kill the debt collector, Borugas would kill the investigators from those two families; that way neither side would be connected to their own trouble. Perfect.

The only thing giving Ravelin a bit of a headache was how to shut that 【Person in the Mirror】 up.

And Borugas clearly hadn't thought of that angle. He opened his mouth wanting to say something, only to find he simply couldn't refuse the succubus's proposal.

Damn! It seemed he'd been outmaneuvered!

After a long silence, Borugas hung his head and replied weakly, "Fine."

Seeing this, Ravelin gave a soft laugh, then asked with a touch of curiosity, "Speaking of which, I never spotted any trace of those two families. Surely you can tell me who they are now?"

Hearing this, the glutton demon raised his head and answered somewhat oddly, "Actually you've already met them. The demon you took away a few days ago was one of them."

"?"

Ravelin immediately froze on the spot.

At the same time, Li Ang, who was hiding in the shadows eavesdropping on their conversation, darkened his expression.

He'd been discovered.
