Fighting with the sky is boring, fighting with the earth is boring, fighting with Thalia is endless fun.
"..."
Thalia's thoughts fell into silence.
Think carefully.
She actually wanted to reject Lan Qi every time, but finally agreed to him.
From the first time he fed the cat, he later became a guard, a teacher, helping him make cards, and so on.
Why couldn't I reject him as decisively as this girl named Christina?
"Master, you are really a girl that I can easily get my hands on."
Lan Qi added provocatively, his voice full of victor's attitude.
"..."
"Do you want to think about it again?"
Thalia's invisible hand of thought gently touched Lan Qi's heart.
She could grab his heart if she wanted to.
"No, no, no, it's easier for you to deal with me!"
Lan Qi quickly begged for mercy.
After playing ten games in a row, he had already used a lot of his mana.
In addition to maintaining the most basic safety power, he felt that he could fight at most one game today.
The two people who were facing each other in their hearts gradually returned to calm.
"Do you really want to play with Count Baptiste's family?"
Thalia asked Ranchi.
Based on her observations over the past two days, this family is actually not bad, but their behavior is a bit stupid and can easily offend others.
Putting aside Lan Qi's abnormal influence, Talia felt that this family was really loyal to Lan Qi.
Count Baptiste at least treats Ranchi, a parasitic species, sincerely.
"Then if you take one hundred thousand pounds from someone else, you have to work for them. If I just take one hundred thousand pounds and run away, wouldn't I become a liar?"
Lan Qi asked rhetorically.
Even if the other party is willing, he doesn't feel right.
"...You are quite professional."
Talia didn't know how to evaluate Lanqi's wishing machine.
She couldn't tell whether she belonged to the evil side or the good side, order or chaos.
She might not have known Lan Qi that well before.
Since connecting with Lan Qi's soul, looking at Lan Qi's life every day, she began to feel that she gradually understood this guy a little better.
This guy's contract looks as dangerous as a devil, but it's actually quite angelic.
Even when he was a student named Bacher at Purgatory Corridor College, Lan Qi did not harm him. Instead, he was as kind to him as Bai Yueguang.
In the rest area, Lan Qi still stood in front of Christina and didn't speak again for a long time.
"In short, you are not from the same world as us. If you are really willing to give me a choice, then I will definitely pay you liquidated damages. Please step down from your position as the housekeeper of our family and regain your freedom."
Christina bowed expressionlessly but extremely respectfully.
It was like asking God to leave with all his heart.
Even if he hires housekeeper Rocky McCarthy for even one more month, he might still be able to make a lot of extra money after the contract is terminated.
But as soon as she saved fifty thousand pounds, she would immediately pay all the money to the housekeeper.
"..."
The people around overheard the conversation between Miss Christina and her housekeeper, and they felt that there was something wrong with the Miss Christina's mind.
At present, she is only playing in the fast competitive mode based on the Baptiste family's reputation for high hatred and in the name of the family.
If you are participating in a business dispute-type commission battle, leasing out the butler Rocky McCarthy as a player will also result in a high commission.
"Don't worry, if you pay me fifty thousand pounds, I won't work anymore."
Lan Qi smiled helplessly and promised Christina.
What makes him sad is that although Miss Christina is sincere, it is not easy to make friends with her. She has only slightly let down her guard against herself.
The two chatted briefly and walked outside.
The moonlight shines through the open round hole on the top of the Holy Silver Vine Arena and falls on the many connected magic equipment terminals. The tall spectator stands in each branch are scattered like mountains.
Eight or nine o'clock every night is the golden moment for competitive competitions, attracting fighters and monsters from all over the world to fight here for honorary gold and faith.
At this moment, battles in other branches are still showing on the screen. Two demons holding swords are fighting fiercely. The swords are shining like waterfalls and their fighting spirit is high. The audience's cheers, applause, and disappointed sighs are intertwined. From time to time, it spreads to the edge of the venue through the air.
Just as Christina and Lanci were about to leave the rest area and walk towards the brightly lit passage of the open-air venue under the night sky, a wealthy businessman with a hooked nose in an expensive suit quickly ran over and blocked their way.
"You two, please wait a moment!"
The wealthy businessman had an eager and serious expression on his face, and it was obvious that he came to them with something urgent.
"Do you need help?"
Both men paused in confusion.
"Miss Christina, excuse me, I have a request."
The wealthy businessman seemed a little afraid of the Countess of the Baptiste family. He remained reserved but straightforward.
"I need a strong messenger to participate in tonight's business dispute competition. I saw that your butler is extremely powerful. I am willing to pay a high commission to ask him to fight on my behalf."
"There will be a fine for temporarily changing the players."
Christina frowned slightly after hearing this. She was caught off guard by this sudden request.
"That's right, Miss Christina, but the other party also changed the contestants temporarily. I was relatively sure of winning, but now I don't know. After watching Mr. Rocky's game, I feel that instead of If you lose, you might as well pay a lot of money to give him a try.”
After the hook-nosed wealthy businessman explained the reason, he showed Miss Christina the remuneration and rental contract.
As long as Mr. Lodge, the butler of the Baptiste family, is willing to play a game for their company, they are willing to pay a basic commission of 1500 pounds to the Baptiste family. If they win, there will be an additional winner's commission of 4500 pounds.
"This……"
Although Christina's family was wealthy, she had never made so much money while still in school.
If it weren't for the huge sum of money she got from betting on Rocky tonight, she would have suspected it was like money falling from the sky.
If you lose, you can get 1500 pounds.
She saw that Rocky looked indifferent, which seemed to mean that he still had working time, and if he wanted to participate in the war, he would have no problem with it.
"What's going on with my opponent?"
Christina did not agree directly. After calming down and thinking, she asked the hook-nosed wealthy businessman.
"That's it, Miss Christina, please take a look."
The hook-nosed wealthy businessman began to introduce the specific situation.
His name is Edward Winston, and he is the current CEO of Winston Watch Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and their company is also a long-standing and prestigious luxury watch manufacturer in the Kingdom of Poisson.
Tonight’s opponent, Charles Hammond, belongs to Hammond Financial Group, which is engaged in international financial services in the Southern Continent and provides a wide range of financial services within the Southern Continent, including investment banking, asset management and insurance businesses.
Behind this agency competition lies a decades-long business competition and dispute.
Many years ago, Winston Watch Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Hammond Financial Group became rivals in a large-scale international investment project. Winston attempted to globalize its watch brand through this investment, while Hammond Financial Group They took a fancy to the huge investment return potential of this project.
During the competition, a series of misunderstandings and opposing business strategies led to a long-term legal and media war, which seriously affected the goodwill and profits of both parties.
Ultimately, in order to avoid further financial losses and to try to find a more direct and decisive resolution, the parties agreed to a proxy contest to decide the outcome of the dispute.
The agreement stipulates that the winning party will gain control of the disputed project, while both parties will end all ongoing legal proceedings and restore each other's reputation in front of the public and media.
"The other party found a very bad proxy competitor tonight."
The hook-nosed wealthy businessman murmured darkly and sadly.
It is said that he is also a mysterious messenger who has just become famous in the past two days. He has won 16 games so far, and every game is an overwhelming victory.
What's even more special is that he never gave his opponent a chance to surrender. He almost vented his anger and tortured his opponent to death before letting him go.
Although there is no life threat in the artificial shadow world.
But such a style of play would put his opponents into deep fear and make him famous quickly.
The hook-nosed wealthy businessman's many years of experience told him that if it were the competitor he originally hired, he would have no hope of defeating the opponent.
This game is not only a power struggle between their two employers, but also a contest between two completely different business brands and philosophies, often involving long-term interests of tens of thousands of pounds.
Christina read through the contract and looked at the housekeeper next to her.
She felt that Butler Lodge should be someone who knew more about the law.
"There is no legal risk."
He answered as if he could understand what she meant.
"So I accept it?"
Christina asked Rocky tentatively.
"You're the boss, you decide."
Lan Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
To some extent, she is somewhat similar to Hyperion in some aspects of her personality, and she is always a little worried and afraid when encountering anything.
"Then please."
Christina thanked her, and then she looked at the hook-nosed wealthy businessman Edward Winston.
"Mr. Edward, I will rent out Rocky Butler to you to compete in this agency competition."
She picked up the pen the butler handed her from the side and began to sign the contract.
