Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

"Don't tell me you agreed to that brat's request so easily? I don't think this is your style."

He sat there with his black glasses supporting half of his face, looking at Chi Yu with an expression that said, "Tell me what happened next. I know you haven't finished."

Well, it seems that even Black Glasses knows that this matter is not that simple.

Chi Yu took a sip of water and said leisurely, "I've said it before. Since I've accepted Cheng Bingqiang's commission, I will escort him to Peacock Country according to the commission requirements. Before that, no one can touch his life."

As he spoke, something white flashed between Chi Yu's fingers.

With a sound of breaking air, Black Glasses caught the thing that was attacking him, took it in his hand and looked at it, and suddenly laughed out loud: "No way, Boss Chi, you really want to steal even a child's things? This thing is not worth much."

"I'm taking him to see the dangers of society." Chi Yu said righteously.

In fact, he couldn't understand what the boy was thinking.

It's obvious that his family has already suffered a devastating disaster because of his mistaken trust in others, but now he dares to choose to trust a stranger with a completely different stance just because of a hunch?

If it were Chi Yu himself, then he would know from thinking back to the incident in Dongzhuang Village that he would not rely on anyone and would only use his own methods to deal with problems.

Chi Yu didn't know whether to judge that fool as courageous or ignorant and fearless for giving the choice of his own destiny to others.

However, thinking of the helpless expression on the peacock boy's face when he had his bone fragment snatched away by him, Chi Yu smiled and made a gesture to the man with black glasses to ask him to return the thing.

The man with black glasses shrugged and threw the bone fragment towards him.

"Although I did steal this bone fragment, I didn't take it for nothing. I didn't agree to his condition, but I did offer him another condition in exchange."

"What conditions?"

Chi Yu rubbed the bone, looked at the carved patterns on it, and replied: "Cheng Bingqiang can't die now, but I can make all of them suffer a little."

"Anyway, we still have a few days to spend together. It's not bad to let these guys have a memorable journey before they die."

The boy's bone fragments were taken away, and Chi Yu stepped on him and he couldn't move. He could only tilt his head and said aggrievedly: "What kind of exchange is this! When we get there, I can deal with them myself, and there will be no need for you to come then!"

Chi Yu said "Oh?" "Really? If you were really as capable as you said, you wouldn't be lying on the ground talking to me now, or is it that your real ability can only be used within the scope of Peacock Country?"

The young man immediately realized what he had said, gritted his teeth and looked at Chi Yu: "I originally thought that you were a good person compared to them, but now it seems that you are not a good person either!"

Chi Yu loosened his feet, squatted down, and looked at the boy who was standing up, and said calmly: "Little guy, when we first met in the warehouse, how did you look at me? Do you remember?"

"What little guy? Do you think you look old?" The boy muttered, not understanding what Chi Yu meant.

"When I first saw you, your eyes were full of hatred for everyone, including when you looked at me."

Chi Yu's eyes were fixed on him, like a giant snake that had been provoked and was ready to hunt a bird that had strayed into its territory.

"It's not like no one has looked at me the same way as you before, but do you know what happened to those guys in the end?"

The peacock boy suddenly felt a fear from deep in his blood. He looked at Chi Yu stiffly: "What?"

"died."

Seeing that the boy was so nervous that he almost forgot how to breathe, Chi Yu restrained his breath and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you for now. This bone fragment of yours is useful to me. It should be a fair trade to use it in exchange for your life."

It took the boy a while to recover from his stiff state. He looked at Chi Yu, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Does what you said before still count?"

"Which sentence?"

"Let them suffer a little before sending them on their way."

"of course."

After all, that was what he had intended.

Chi Yu nodded to the boy and raised the bone fragment in his hand: "However, if I want to buy your life and the lives of those guys, this piece of bone alone is not enough. It is incomplete and can only be regarded as a deposit. You have to tell me where the rest is."

"I was planning to tell you this after you agreed to my terms."

The young man looked at Chi Yu with a somewhat resentful expression, but also a little smarter. "But since you have already received the deposit, where are the remaining bone fragments? I will tell you after everything is over, so that it can be considered the final payment."

Hearing this, Chi Yu stood up, glanced at the flashing [Side Quest] column on the system interface, opened the details, and chose to accept.

"make a deal."
