Chapter 1540: Mowen and Lu Jiayun’s… Double Act?
Qiandao Turing’s appearance broke the bizarre atmosphere in the grand hall.
He looked around suspiciously, and when his gaze fell upon Mowen’s face, he curled his lips in resentment.
With a casual toss, he threw a storage item filled with food over to Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order).
“Mowen, don’t you think you’re an eyesore?”
Mowen chuckled lightly.
“Is that so?”
“Of course! Damn, the guy you sent out earlier almost killed me! Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order) won’t care, but Ye Qiyan is my ally. With the two of us joining forces, we can definitely take you down.”
Qiandao Turing said fiercely.
Yet Ye Qiyan didn’t sense any malice in his words.
He ignored Qiandao Turing and instead turned his gaze to Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order).
“Uncle, don’t tell me your purpose in calling me over is just to argue. If that’s really the case, I have other more important things to do.”
Mr. Order’s Sloth Body pulled a bone-in roasted meat leg out of that storage item, eating as he said:
“Do you want to accept employment, just like Abucado? I’m not very familiar with the others in your Emperor Sequence, and I don’t have friends among them.”
“As for Zhu Xingtu…”
“I hate her.”
“So I don’t want to talk to her either.”
He waved his hand in the air.
A line of text appeared on the system’s light screen.
[High-Tier Employment Contract of the Kingdom of Order]
[After the employment contract is signed, until this war of the Kingdom of Order ends, all [Emperor Sequence] members will receive a base employment reward of 500,000 Train Coins.]
[The remaining price will be determined based on the high-level hostile units killed.]
The word count was very small, and one could even say it was full of loopholes.
But the other party was the King of Order.
How could a contract he handed over be so simple?
Ye Qiyan was not dazzled by the 500,000 Train Coins.
He was indeed short of money.
But on top of gaining wealth, what he needed most was bonds.
Ye Qiyan frowned slightly, directly taking out both [Demon Card: Bewitchment] and [Demon Card – Defiance], and asked coldly:
“Are you using a mere contract to exchange for our bonds?”
Qiandao Turing and Mowen on the side both cast their gazes over, observing these two card sequences of Ye Qiyan.
Yet under the effect of [demon card: pride], they simply lacked the qualification to observe them.
Even Mowen.
The Sloth Body chewed on the meat chunk, seemingly having guessed long ago that Ye Qiyan would have this kind of reaction.
“Oh, you noticed quickly. It seems you are indeed a very qualified Top-Tier Train Captain, with such keen perception regarding bonds.”
“I am indeed using the contract to exchange for about half of your bonds.”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t offer such a high price.”
“The 500,000 Train Coins is just the base price.”
“When the war ends, the number of Train Coins you can get will be at least around three million.”
“Reducing a bit of territorial bonds is not a loss for you at all.”
“Those people under Abucado are very clear about this, and the contracts they accepted are of a similar type.”
What Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order) said was indeed unproblematic.
Under the influence of Demon Card: Bewitchment × Demon Card – Defiance, this fellow couldn’t possibly lie.
Just exchanging half of their bonds to obtain millions of Train Coins.
Even if placed on the black market, this amount could buy some useful things.
But…
Ye Qiyan tore apart that light screen, and the look he cast at the Sloth Body actually carried a bit of disappointment.
“Senior, you have become much more boring than before.”
The Sloth Body’s eating motion paused slightly, without speaking.
It was just that the exhaustion deep within those eyes could not be covered up no matter what.
This was the price paid by Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order).
Order required sacrifice.
He was that sacrificed Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order).
Even if Ye Qiyan didn’t say it, he himself understood that his current self was… utterly boring…
“If you don’t like being employed, then forget it. I suppose people like you who can hang out with Zhu Xingtu are existences meant to be freer than anyone else.”
“Hehe…”
“I have indeed become boring.”
“Suit yourselves.”
The throne he sat on turned around, and he closed his eyes, continuing to gorge himself.
Only by continuing to eat like this could he make himself feel that he was still himself.
Ye Qiyan turned around and left.
That fellow named Mowen spoke up just as he was about to leave:
“Did you see the thing inside that lacquer box?”
“Just a seal. Do you want to take it back?”
Ye Qiyan stood with his back to Mowen, without turning his head.
“No, I just wanted to know what you thought after seeing that thing. But now it seems, hehe… you truly are the epitome of a Train Captain.”
“Even after knowing the truth of that matter, it won’t shake your determination.”
“In this regard, my good-for-nothing disciple is quite different.”
Mowen lit a cigarette once again.
“If he sees it, he will definitely go even crazier than now. What he might do is something even I don’t know.”
“Oh.”
Bang——!
The doors of the Hall of Order were heavily slammed shut.
Qiandao Turing looked perplexedly at Mowen, then at Lu Cangxiao (Mr. Order) on the throne, and simply left this place as well, continuing to the command room to vie for command authority with Fan Huo.
The door was closed once again.
Neither Mowen nor Mr. Order’s Sloth Body spoke.
In the huge hall, there was only the sound of food being haphazardly shoved into mouths.
“That Mowen is bound by the agreement, huh.”
Ye Qiyan walked out of the Hall of Order, not going to Fan Huo’s place for a drink.
He rejected the employment, but the things he could get were not limited to just a contract.
Without a contract, he could still exchange various resources based on the spoils of war after killing enemies.
In this way, although the income of Train Coins would be much less,
compared to trading his accumulated bonds for a bunch of incorrect Train Coins,
Ye Qiyan didn’t feel there was any error in his judgment.
Just like the last time he came, he would find a suitable area to establish his battlefield, or simply find a fortress and guard it there,
waiting for things to develop slowly.
However, before that, he had to take a trip to Monroe Gina’s bowling alley.
Zhu Xingtu and Zhao Lin were also there.
“Does Master mean that he has grown tired of his own agreement?”
Lisette had become the driver, and upon hearing Ye Qiyan’s words, she chimed in.
“It probably has to do with his Talent, and also his conviction. I can sense that he is very strong.”
“Not the kind of person ordinary Top-Tier Train Captains can compare to.”
“Yet such a person has always stayed in the City of a Thousand Stars, never advancing in the wilderness.”
“This explains two things.”
Ye Qiyan paused.
“First, he is not someone who stands still. Although I don’t know if his past strength was even stronger than it is now, even Zhao Xi of Solomon City only stagnated for ten Wasteland Years before forgetting part of her power.”
“And the time he has stayed since the city was established is definitely much longer than Zhao Xi’s.”
“But the feeling he gave me didn’t have that reluctance to leave that Zhao Xi had back in Solomon City.”
“Second, if all my analyses are correct, deep down in his heart, he desperately wants to get rid of the agreements that bind him.”
“That is… those people lingering in the City of a Thousand Stars who are influenced by Sloth.”
“Relying on the news that Lu Jiayun wanted to kill him and the talks with the Kingdom of Order, he temporarily unlocked the constraints and headed to the Kingdom of Order, the human nation closest to the wilderness.”
“Could it be… that he is putting on a double act with Lu Jiayun?”
