Uchiha of Zero Zone

"So... you called us here in a hurry, causing us to lose several well-paid commissions, but he just waited for us there?"

Zhong Yan did not wait too long at the spot, and finally he received the reinforcements that the brother and sister had invited - the Cunning Rabbit House.

However, what no one expected was that Zhong Yan, who was supposed to be surrounded by corpses, was actually waiting for their arrival there as if nothing had happened.

This is indeed different from the description given by the brother and sister.

You know, they were exchanging fire with the enemy at the time, and then the two of them called and asked them to come over to help.

Because she owed the brother and sister a lot of money, Nicole had to temporarily put down her work and come to rescue this client who was highly valued by Phaethon.

It turns out that they didn't have to come at all.

"Well...the situation was really dangerous at that time. Who knew he would escape so quickly." Ies, who was controlled by Ling, scratched his head in embarrassment.

At the same time, the stone hanging in the hearts of the brother and sister fell.

The best news for them is that Zhong Yan is fine.

As for how he escaped, the two did not delve into it. After all, they were just partners with each other... Of course, they could be considered friends now.

Among the three people in the Cunning Rabbit House, Anbi always looks calm and composed when performing tasks, including this time, but only before he met Zhong Yan.

When she first set out, she didn't know that the person trapped in the cave by corpses was Zhong Yan, as the brother and sister said. If she had known, she would have been so anxious that she would have jumped off the wall.

The guy who just told her yesterday to cherish her life, turned out to be trapped in a cave by corpses. What he said and what he did were completely contradictory.

This also made An Bi a little angry, so from the moment she saw Zhong Yan, she showed a resentful expression and stared at him.

Being stared at by Ambi like this, Zhong Yan couldn't help feeling guilty. His eyes dodged and finally fell on Ies at his feet.

Tsk, why does this little guy become cuter the more I look at him?

"Nicole, thank you so much for this time, but we'd better not stay in the cave for too long."

Zhe was the first to remind them after Nicole finished complaining about the siblings.

Among the people present, except Zhong Yan who is quite special, all the others have strong ether adaptability and can survive in the void for a long time.

But this time is also limited, so they'd better get out as soon as possible.

......

Soon, led by the brother and sister, everyone emerged from the cave.

Nicole immediately took Ambi and Billy back to complete the employer's commission, leaving only Zhong Yan and Ies there.

"It seems that this commission has failed." Ling said in frustration in the deserted alley outside the cave. "In this case, I will return the three million deposit to you later. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate next time."

It was difficult for Ling to accept that she had lost a total of 10 million denarii in compensation in one go, but there was nothing she could do. As ropemakers, they valued credit the most. Since she had not completed the commission given by her employer, she absolutely could not take a single cent from her employer.

Things should have come to this point and logically should have ended, but in Zhong Yan's opinion, everything was just beginning.

He did not hand Fairy over to Phaethon, so the cooperation would never end.

Artificial intelligence of that level could even pose a certain threat to him. Zhong Yan would only feel at ease if it fell into the hands of someone he trusted.

So, after Ling said that she wanted to return the three million deposit to him, Zhong Yan immediately stopped her and said, "No, my commission has not yet ended. As long as you are willing to continue to cooperate with me, you don't have to return the deposit."

Hearing this, Ling was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "You still want to proceed with the commission? Is that box so important to you?"

Ling was a little confused. In this operation, Zhong Yan not only did not gain any benefit, but he almost died in the hole.

Most people who encountered such a crisis would probably give up their clueless goal, but Zhong Yan still planned to continue.

This is enough to show how important the box that was stolen by the Red Tooth Gang is to him.

At the same time, she became curious about Zhong Yan's identity.

A boy who looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, his strength and character are far beyond that of ordinary people. This is obviously not what a normal person should have.

Moreover, the box that the Red Fang Gang stole from the Wista Association was so important to him, which meant that he had a certain connection with the Wista Association, or the attraction of the box itself was worth him taking such a big risk.

No matter which one it is, they both have reasons why they can't refuse each other.

Phaethon always keeps his word, otherwise he would be unworthy of being a legend in the rope maker world. Since they chose to take on this commission from the beginning, they must make the employer satisfied.

What's more, they also wanted to know what was in the box. Maybe after getting it, Zhong Yan would reveal some information to them.

So, in the archive room of the video store, the brother and sister smiled at each other, and both understood what the other meant.

"We won't miss such a good opportunity to make money, but next, how are you going to find clues about the safe?" Ling asked.

Finding a safe is no problem, but the problem lies in how you find its location.

"I will investigate the recent activities of the Red Tooth Gang and find out their base camp." Zhong Yan thought for a while and replied.

Although the guys in the Red Fang Gang have territory, they are homeless most of the time. Sometimes they are surrounded and suppressed by the Public Security Bureau, and the territory they just occupied may be taken back the next moment.

Especially after attacking the Wistar Association's research institute, they have obviously shown up less frequently. This time, they even leaked false information and used it to kill many cave robbers who wanted to attack them.

The Red Fang Gang is simply unable to do things like this on a normal day.

In other words, behind them, there is an unknown mountain, which is the core gear that controls the operation of the entire Red Tooth Gang.

If such a thing really exists, then the safe that Zhong Yan has been thinking about must be in his hands, and at that time the two sides may form a confrontation situation.

In this case, the content of the commission is somewhat beyond the business scope of the rope craftsman, but even so, Ling does not intend to terminate the cooperation with Zhong Yan.

There's no way, that's 10 million denarii!
