The Seven Deadly Child
Liu Hong and Liang Fu
(Manager Xiao's room, just after Theo left)
"What an interesting young man!"
An old man suddenly appeared from within the shadow of one corner of the room.
"Hihihihi. Manager Liu, I am currently starting to feel like I am finding a treasure map! I became very enthusiastic and impatient to immediately explore this map! Find the hidden treasure in it!" Xiao Shiu said.
"Hahahha, as always, young Miss Xiao is very good at reading opportunities to build relationships and invest in social!"
"This young man is very promising! With that in mind, he didn't die before he could develop!" Said this old man that Xiao Shiu called Manager Liu. Then put on a strange smile.
"Hihihi... What do you mean say that?" Asked Xiao Shiu.
Along with Xiao Shiu's question, another figure came out from behind the shadow. This time, the one who came out was an old woman.
"Hmmm... young girl, for the size of a Manager, you're too under-informed!"
"Don't I tell you a lot, information is one of the deadliest weapons in the world!" Said this old woman.
"Hihihihi.. Manager Liang, please say directly!" Xiao Shiu replied.
The old woman who was before Xiao Shiu at the moment was none other than Liang Fu, the Manager of the GAIA Mercenaries branch of Ice Lotus City, the organization's son from the Gaia Son Pavilion was concerned with mercenaries as well as the gathering of classified information.
While the previous old man was Liu Hong, the Manager of the Gaia Treasure branch of Ice Lotus City. As explained earlier, Gaia Treasure is a merchant city belonging to the Gaia Son Pavilion that takes care of all kinds of trade.
"Isn't that young man Theodoric Alknight, the third young master of the House of Alknight? The young master who was once said to have died, but had suddenly appeared again in the past few months!" Liang Fu said.
"Hmmmm... If it is true like that, then why? I don't see anything wrong after hearing this information?" Xiao Shiu replied.
"Haha... There's nothing wrong with that, I just want to give you a little opening information to just introduce this attractive young man!"
"The problem is, the house is currently in a precarious condition! They are now in the midst of a coup attempt by one of the Lord's younger brothers!"
"And a few days ago, I was informed that the rebel side of this house, had sent an envoy to pay a visit to the Nameless Market Branch of Ice Lotus City!" Liang Fu closed his explanation with a small meaningful smile.
"Nameless Markets?"
"You're saying, this rebel party is trying to eliminate the young man, using the services of the Dark Guild's League of Assassins?" Asked Xiao Shiu.
Hearing the question, Liang Fu gave no answer, he still maintained his small smile, as he began to look at Xiao Shiu with a nodding look.
"Hihihihi.. what an interesting! You know, I'm not the kind of person who would just give up my long-term investment!" Xiao Shiu said then.
"So? What are you gonna do?" This time Liu Hong entered into the conversation. While putting on a small smile, just like Liang Fu's.
Hearing that question, Xiao Shiu began to smile. "You sly old fox!"
"All right! Help me take care of this young man! After that, I will reconsider about the request of the two of you a few weeks ago!"
"Hehhehe.. so much better! The 5% rebate belongs to this young man! and also, I will guarantee his safety when the auction is grand!" Liu Hong replied, then without giving any greetings, immediately leaving the place.
"If you've been this wise a long time ago, I thought we'd be friends!" Liang Hu said after Liu Hong left the place.
"As you wish, I will deploy my soldiers to protect her from the shadows for the past few days!" Said later. After that, too, leave the place.
Seeing these two old men already leaving the place, Xiao Shiu's little smile turned into a strangely sly smile.
"Just wait, it won't be long until I get rid of you two!" Xiao Shiu muttered.
Meanwhile, in one corner of the room, there was a white shadow whose presence had not been noticed by the three people in the room. This figure continued to meticulously pay attention to the conversation of the three.
"Hehehe.. This will become even more interesting!"
"If you think my student is a property that you can play as you please, then next time maybe it is me who will make you a joke!"
"What funny! Ahhaha...!" Said the figure, then laughed out loud, before it began to float leisurely through the walls of the room.
(Outside Gaia Inn)
"Boss, is your business with that woman over?" Arthur asked, as soon as Theo came out of the Gaia Inn.
Hearing that, Theo only gave a brief nod, confirming Arthur's question. Before you start looking around.
"Where's Aria? Is he not coming with us for a walk?" Ask Theo.
"From last night this girl didn't come out of her room at all, maybe she's still pissed at you!" Answer Arthur.
"Obsolute? I should have been annoyed by him for being too cruel!" Dengus.
"Ahh.. Come on Boss, forget about that strange girl! Wouldn't it be better if he didn't come!" Answer Arthur.
"Well, you're right too!" Answer Theo briefly.
"So Boss, where are we going today? Are we going to visit the Dark Guild?" Ask Arthur enthusiastically.
"Hmmm.for now, I want to go somewhere else first!" Answer Theo.
"Ohh.. where?"
"Oh, come along! It's also an interesting place!"
"All right! Wherever it comes from, it doesn't matter!" Answer Arthur. The two then started to leave the place.
**
Moments after Theo and Arthur left the place, Aria was seen coming out from inside the Gaia Inn.
"So it's better if I don't come? Really sucks!" Dengus Aria's. While putting on a pouting expression.
"Young lady! Let me teach them a lesson!" Said Master Estro who was beside Aria, her face looking extremely angry.
"Don't interfere in my business!" Jerky Aria.
"Ahhh.. good! Forgive me!" Master Estro replied quickly, unwilling to refute any of Aria's words. She knew, this girl was looking for someone to vent her frustration.
"Hmmm.. You're a bitch too!" Dengus Aria's. Then start walking towards the direction where Theo and Arthur left.
"Ahh... young lady! Wait for me!" Seeing his young miss start walking away, Master Estro immediately followed behind him.

"Wahh, what a magnificent gate!" Arthur said when he saw the gate in front of him.
"I told you, you'd be interested if I brought you here!" Theo responds to Arthur's admiration.
"Ahh.. Boss, although this is indeed a magnificent gate, but honestly I don't like being in this place!" Answer Arthur.
"Ohh.. why?"
"A few years ago, I actually had the qualifications and was accepted to this place, but because my father was worried that I would go berserk again, he canceled to register me in this place!" Arthur replied, putting on a sad expression.
Hearing that, Theo could only smile and pat Arthur on the shoulder. He could understand what Arthur was feeling, because a few years ago, he also felt more or less the same.
"Boss, why do you want to visit this shitty place?" Ask Arthur.
"Hahahaha.I want to visit someone, as well as introduce them to you! I think you'll fit in!" Answer Theo.
"Ohh.. Who is that?"
"My brother! Gregorica!" Answer Theo briefly.
