"Well, you can leave tomorrow morning. However, since this involves the relationship between Mond and Winter Solstice, the information is top secret. To be on the safe side, you should stay here tonight. As a reward for helping Mond, I will give you a generous reward."

After hearing Gao Muming's reasons, Diluk could only agree to let Gao Muming leave the tavern, and then looked at Ying beside him.

"Ying, I've seen the wanted poster before. It only mentions your blond hair as a wanted person. The Knights shouldn't be suspicious of you because of your identity. I'll trouble you to watch this guy and go with him."

Although she was a little confused, Ying nodded to show that she understood. Gao Muming, who was standing by, did not raise any objections after hearing that there was a reward.

Everyone rested for a night in the angel's gift.

The next morning, when Gao Muming woke up, Diluk had left the Angel Tavern for some time.

Looking at the rather hearty breakfast Charles brought him, Gao Muming's face, which had been a little ugly due to his unhappiness, finally looked a little better.

"It smells so good."

Paimon emerged from the staff lounge behind the bar, sniffing his little nose.

"Let me see what's delicious."

"Zao Shang is good at making people confused."

Gao Muming greeted Paimon in a somewhat unclear manner with his mouth full of food.

After looking at the food on the table, Paimon flew to Charles and spoke impatiently.

"Where's my food? Bring it up quickly. Oh, and there's also Ying's portion."

Soon, fried carrots with honey sauce, Teyvat fried eggs, manor baked muffins and raspberry mint drinks were placed on the table.

"It's so rich."

Paimon looked at the breakfast with shining eyes. It was much richer than Gao Muming's breakfast, and then thanked Charles.

"Thank you, Charles."

Charles smiled slightly.

"No need to thank me, this is what Master Diluk ordered."

At this time, Ying also pushed open the door and walked over. Seeing Ying's still confused and sleepy eyes, Paimon quickly waved his hand and greeted Ying.

"Ying, come and eat. My mouth is watering."

After finishing his meal, Gao Muming held his cheek with one hand and looked at Paimon who was eating with relish, then sighed.

"Ah, I still feel a little annoyed."

"what happened?"

Even though she knew the identity of Takagi Akira's treasure-stealing group, Ying still asked with some concern when she saw Takagi Akira, who could barely be considered her companion, sighing.

Gao Muming was playing with his fingers out of boredom and responded casually in a nonchalant tone.

"I'm just expressing my feelings. I feel a little depressed when I think about what happened last night."

"I'm sorry, if I hadn't dragged you to the second floor, you wouldn't have been dragged in."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Ying showed a trace of apology on her face.

"You don't have to apologize to me. It has nothing to do with you."

Gao Muming shook his head and explained helplessly.

"I've been in trouble since I was recognized by Diluk."

Gao Muming curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"The first time I saw him, I could tell from the black-hearted capitalist Diluc's expressionless face that he was full of calculations."

Paimon approached Gao Muming with some curiosity.

"Eh? Even though I can't see the expression on his face, can you tell that Master Diluk wants to plot against you?"

"Can you teach me? Hey, don't turn your head away."

Ying, who was standing by, quickly pulled Paimeng back to her side and whispered a few words to him.

"Don't ask any more, little Paimon. Can't you see that he is just upset that Diluk threatened him with the identity of the treasure-stealing group, and he just said it casually to vent his anger. It will be very embarrassing if you continue to ask."

Paimon looked at Gao Muming, who turned his head away and didn't look at him, and was surprised to find that Gao Muming's ears were slightly red.

"Let's skip this topic."

"By the way, didn't you say you were worried about your subordinates? We have just finished breakfast, so let's go together."

Gao Muming brought Ying and Paimeng to the hotel where they were staying. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Lao Wan and others gathered at the counter. Hearing the doorbell, Xiao Cheng turned around to take a look and hurriedly pulled Lao Wan's clothes.

"Lao Wan, Lao Wan, this is unbelievable, the boss has returned with a woman, a young girl."

Hearing Xiao Cheng's scream, Lao Wan turned around while scolding him.

"Xiao Cheng, go wash your face if you're still drunk. How could the boss... No way, that's not right. The boss who didn't come home all night actually has a little girl with him. I must not be awake yet."

Paimon pointed at Takagi Akira's head with his little finger.

"I feel like you, as a boss, have no face at all."

Gao Muming ignored Paimon's teasing and hooked his finger at several people.

"Ahem. Come with me."

As soon as he entered the guest room, Xiao Zhu pounced on Gao Muming.

"Boss, when we woke up this morning, we saw the Knights of Favonius guarding us. If we hadn't seen the iron bars, we would have thought our identities were exposed and we were arrested by the Knights of Favonius."

Ayi on the side also joined in the conversation.

"Indeed, such stimulation is not good for the heart."

Lao Wan hit both of them on the head, and signaled with his eyes to Ying and Paimeng who were following beside them.

"What are you talking about? We are all decent businessmen. Why should we be afraid of the Knight of Favonius?"

"Ah~ this, that's what..."

Just when Ayi was at a loss and wanted to say something, Xiao Cheng spoke in time.

"It's all my fault. I'm prone to causing trouble when I'm drunk, and I made you worry about me."

"Okay, no need to act. They know that our identities have been exposed."

Gao Muming rubbed his forehead helplessly as he watched the performance of Lao Wan and the others in front of him, and continued to speak amid their surprised looks.

"I was recognized by Diluk, the owner of Dawn Winery, in the tavern last night."

After hearing Gao Muming's explanation, Lao Wan also showed a look of understanding.

"It's him, then it's not surprising. After all, he was once the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius, so it's normal for him to recognize us. Since we have revealed the boss's identity and we have not been arrested, what conditions did you agree to, boss?"

Gao Muming sat on the chair and explained in an indifferent tone.

"Nothing, I just got caught up in some trouble. I'll be busy for a while, so you guys can just enjoy yourself in Mondstadt."

Xiao Cheng spoke with some surprise.

"Isn't the trouble in Mondstadt the Wind Dragon the problem now? You can even agree to this, Boss? That's a Wind Dragon. You're asking someone like you who doesn't even have the Eye of God to provoke that kind of thing..."

Gao Muming simply dispelled their dissatisfaction with just one sentence.

"As you know, Diluc is the owner of the Dawn Winery and is very wealthy. The other party promised to give me a valuable reward for this commission."
