Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Working Woman
Three hundred thousand dollars? The other party had actually added another hundred thousand.
"Thank you."
Kotone Asaba thanked him, then directly accepted the suitcase.
The suitcase was open. He merely glanced casually at the thickness of the cash inside before closing it.
Three hundred thousand dollars was now in hand. Converted by the exchange rate, that was about one and a half million yuan, meaning he was still only short by around five hundred thousand yuan.
This three hundred thousand dollars was naturally something the sponsor had raised on purpose, in order to curry favor with Kotone Asaba and Quanxi.
The original two hundred thousand had actually come from the major figure above him. The extra hundred thousand came out of his own pocket.
"As long as Mr. Asaba is satisfied."
The sponsor said with a smile.
At this moment, Pingtsi, Long, and Cosmo also heard the commotion here and came over. Sure enough, it had already ended, even faster than they had imagined.
"It’s already over? Who won just now?"
The first thing Pingtsi asked about was the bet between Asaba and Quanxi. That was what she cared about most.
Kotone Asaba pointed at himself and said nothing more.
"Whew... good."
Pingtsi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, Asaba would have been stolen away by that woman.
Long was also delighted.
After the job was finished, Kotone Asaba, Quanxi, and the others left directly.
"Speaking of which, that three hundred thousand dollars just now, how much do you want?"
Although Quanxi had not done much in this mission, Kotone Asaba felt that the money that should be shared still needed to be shared. He did not want to take advantage over such a small thing.
"No need. Or you can give me however much you want."
Quanxi was already consciously speaking to Kotone Asaba with the mindset of an employee.
Besides, she was not short on money at all, so she did not care how much Kotone Asaba gave her.
"Then I’ll give you about one-tenth. I remember that you dealt with a dozen or so people."
Kotone Asaba split thirty thousand dollars from the money and gave it to Quanxi.
"You actually saw that too..."
A hint of surprise appeared in Quanxi’s eyes.
Even without transforming into a Hybrid, the speed of her martial arts was something she took pride in. Across the entire human world, there were not many humans who could clearly see her movements.
What had happened in such a brief instant, yet the other party had actually been able to see how many people she killed.
"It’s nothing. My eyes are just a little different from ordinary people’s."
Kotone Asaba pointed at his Mangekyo Sharingan and explained casually.
Quanxi did not think too deeply about it either. She had already noticed long ago that the appearance of Kotone Asaba’s eyes was not something a normal human could have. It was probably an ability obtained through a contract with some devil.
On the way back, Pingtsi said she did not want to ride in Quanxi’s car again. Long and Cosmo were also clearly resisting the idea.
"Then we’ll head back on our own."
"Mm."
Quanxi casually replied, then slammed down on the accelerator and rushed off.
"Let’s go. We’ll take a taxi."
Kotone Asaba said to Pingtsi and the others.
"At present, we’re still a little over six hundred thousand yuan short of gathering the transfer fees. Let’s go find another bounty mission. Quanxi should be waiting for us at the black market."
At the entrance to the black market, Kotone Asaba said this to Pingtsi and the others.
When they went up to the top floor of the black market, sure enough, Quanxi had already sat down somewhere.
The other bounty hunters around her seemed to have deliberately kept their distance from Quanxi. None of them dared sit too close to her.
"Quanxi and the others came back so quickly. Has that mission already been completed? How long has it even been?"
"Probably. I heard Quanxi speedruns every bounty mission she takes, no matter how difficult it is. I’m more curious about what happened with the bet between Quanxi and that boy."
"There’s no need to be curious about that, right? Quanxi definitely won. We’ll probably be able to tell from their attitude and conversation later."
"..."
Whispers spread through the surroundings.
At this moment, Kotone Asaba walked to Quanxi’s side. "Did you find any mission you like, or were you just waiting for us?"
"I was waiting for you. Pick whatever mission you want. I’m only responsible for doing the work. I’m too lazy to look."
Quanxi said in a slightly lazy tone.
"Fine."
Kotone Asaba did not say anything more and looked toward the screen.
Naturally, he first looked at the mission with the highest bounty. It was only one hundred thousand dollars. The mission details were to eliminate the devils in a mountain forest, though it was only a small mountain forest, so there would not be many devils.
The specific situation was that the sponsor wanted to develop his own business there, but that place was outside Public Safety’s jurisdiction. He could only pay out of pocket to hire bounty hunters.
As for the meeting place with the sponsor, it was at the sponsor’s house.
To Kotone Asaba, this was a fairly standard mission. After looking it over twice, he directly accepted it.
Quanxi immediately stood up and followed him.
The other bounty hunters around them watched this scene and immediately felt that something was strange.
Why did it feel like Quanxi had become that boy’s hired muscle?
They arrived at a private luxury mansion.
This was the meeting place agreed upon with the sponsor. Sure enough, he was a wealthy man.
And there were even maids.
As soon as Kotone Asaba and the others arrived at the gate, a maid dressed in a classic maid outfit led them inside.
At first, the maid was a little frightened when she saw the Fiends, but she quickly controlled her emotions and calmed down to receive the honored guests.
After entering the main gate, they still had to pass through a large courtyard before they could enter the castle-like house.
At this moment, Kotone Asaba’s extremely sharp vision noticed a little girl at one of the windows.
She seemed to be a mixed-race blonde girl, holding a patched doll in her arms, and her expression was somewhat melancholy.
At this moment, the little girl noticed that one person among the unfamiliar strangers seemed to be looking at her. Shy around strangers, she shrank back, then revealed only half of her head and continued secretly observing them.
The maid beside them noticed that Kotone Asaba seemed to be looking at something, but when she followed Kotone Asaba’s gaze, she saw nothing. After all, an ordinary person’s eyesight was worlds apart from Kotone Asaba’s.
Only after looking more carefully did she barely manage to see her family’s young lady.
At this point, Kotone Asaba stopped looking at the mixed-race little girl, so as not to frighten her.
But just then, the maid asked him, "Sir, were you looking at our young lady?"
"Ah... so that’s your young lady. I was just curious and glanced over. I didn’t mean anything else."
Kotone Asaba smiled.
"Mm..."
The maid seemed to have something on her mind, but she did not say it. Instead, she said, "Our master is just ahead."
Following the maid to a garden, Kotone Asaba saw the sponsor for this bounty mission. He was waiting for them in a pavilion.
"Sir, the guests have arrived."
The maid then invited Kotone Asaba and the others to sit.
The master she mentioned was a man who looked to be over fifty, but his energy and spirit still seemed strong.
After a round of polite small talk, they finally began talking business.
Kotone Asaba had already learned that this man’s name was Fang Zhen. It was also very obvious that Mr. Fang did not know Quanxi. When he heard Quanxi’s name, he did not react.
"And as Mr. Fang can see, these three are all Fiends. Quanxi, Long, and Cosmo. However, there is no need to be afraid. They are all my companions and will not attack humans."
Kotone Asaba also introduced the three of them.
"Very good. Your connections truly are impressive, sir."
Fang Zhen sighed with admiration.
"You flatter me..."
Kotone Asaba smiled a little awkwardly.
This old gentleman was clearly an outsider. Even the way he spoke belonged to a completely different style.
"I apologize. I don’t know much about bounty hunters. This is also my first time posting a bounty mission, so I’ll be relying on you next."
Mr. Fang had a very good personality and did not put on any airs at all.
The maid went to prepare desserts, tea, and the like.
"Leave it to us. More accurately, leave it to her."
Kotone Asaba glanced at Quanxi sitting beside him.
"We can set out now."
Quanxi did not want to waste time. She directly stood up and left.
"So quickly?"
While surprised, Fang Zhen immediately brought two maids with him and followed.
These two maids were not ordinary maids. They were maids with combat ability. To put it plainly, they were Devil Hunters privately hired by Fang Zhen to protect the mansion, in order to deal with the small possibility of devils appearing inside the mansion.
However, the strength of these two maids was ultimately limited, while the devils hidden in that mountain forest were even more dangerous. So to be safe, Fang Zhen had still hired bounty hunters.
Of course, there were three such maids in total. One remained at the mansion just in case.
"Sir, with this many Fiends, will it really be all right?"
Looking at Pingtsi, Long, and Cosmo, who all had obvious Fiend traits, one of the maids could not help quietly asking Fang Zhen with concern.
She was afraid these three Fiends might be emotionally unstable and suddenly lash out, harming their own side.
"It should be fine. Judging by my eye, that young man seems very reliable. His companions should not be bad either."
Fang Zhen said.
"All right..."
Since the master had said so, the maid had nothing else to say.
At this moment, the other maid said, "Since they are Fiends, their strength is also guaranteed. I hope this extermination operation can be completed smoothly."
Clearly, not only Mr. Fang, but these two maids also did not know Quanxi.
They seemed to think that Kotone Asaba and Quanxi, the two humans, were responsible for keeping the Fiends under control, while Pingtsi and the other two Fiends were the main combat force.
Next, the two maids personally drove separate cars, taking their master and Kotone Asaba’s group toward the target location.
Kotone Asaba, Pingtsi, Long, and Cosmo did indeed get into one of the maids’ cars, while Quanxi drove her own supercar and vanished in an instant.
Sitting in his car, Fang Zhen saw Quanxi’s supercar and could not help feeling a little surprised. "That model of supercar is not something an ordinary person can afford. Is that young lady from a wealthy family, or did she earn it herself as a bounty hunter?"
"She is probably from a wealthy family. A supercar at that price is hard to reach even for a bounty hunter."
The maid said.
"A wealthy young lady actually came to do such dangerous bounty hunter work. Am I also being too strict with Rou...?"
Fang Zhen, who had originally been full of energy, suddenly fell into sorrow and looked as though he had aged ten years in an instant.
"You are only doing it for Miss Rou’s own good, sir. Once Miss Rou grows a little older and becomes more sensible, she will understand your painstaking efforts."
The maid said while driving.
"..."
Even though the maid said that, Fang Zhen still seemed weighed down with worry.
The mountain forest that was the mission target was not far from the Fang family mansion. This land belonged to the Fang family, but because of the devils’ influence, it had remained idle the entire time.
The two cars stopped at a distance from the mountain forest and did not dare get too close.
Quanxi had already arrived at the entrance of the forest and was waiting there for Kotone Asaba, not caring at all that devils could appear from inside at any moment.
"Sir, shouldn’t you remind that young lady not to stand too close?"
Seeing Quanxi standing right in front of the mountain forest, Fang Zhen said to Kotone Asaba with some concern.
"No need. She’s the one who’s going to deal with those devils."
Kotone Asaba said.
"She’s going to deal with them?"
Fang Zhen was immediately slightly stunned.
The two maids beside him were also stunned. Shouldn’t those three Fiends be the ones taking action?
Kotone Asaba then walked over and waved to Quanxi, signaling that she could begin.
Quanxi nodded slightly. The three bagua dao had long since been hung at her waist, ready to go.
In the next instant, she seemed to disappear from where she stood.
"Hm...? Where did Miss Quanxi go?"
Seeing the person in front of him suddenly vanish, Fang Zhen could not help asking.
The two maids beside him also looked around, but they could not see Quanxi’s figure at all. Even though they were Devil Hunters, they had completely failed to see Quanxi’s movement just now.
In reality, Quanxi had already charged in and started killing.
Kotone Asaba smiled faintly and said nothing, because Quanxi would come back out in a while.
Sure enough, only a short while passed before Quanxi suddenly appeared in front of Kotone Asaba.
Only he could see clearly that Quanxi had run out from inside the mountain forest.
Fang Zhen and the two maids were immediately startled. In their eyes, Quanxi had completely appeared out of thin air.
"It’s done already?"
Kotone Asaba asked Quanxi.
The bagua dao in Quanxi’s hand was already covered in cracks. She casually threw it onto the ground, and that bagua dao finally failed to hold together and shattered into pieces.
"Not one left."
Quanxi replied flatly.
"Okay."
Kotone Asaba then turned to Fang Zhen and said, "Mr. Fang, the mission has been completed."
"What?"
Fang Zhen was immediately dumbfounded. What did that mean?
Hadn’t they not started yet? How was it already over?
The two maids, meanwhile, felt that he was messing with their master.
"How can you say it is completed? Please do not joke around, sir."
One of the maids spoke, her tone already a little impolite.
Although the other maid did not speak, the expression on her face also looked somewhat wrong.
"Don’t be so rude to our honored guest."
Fang Zhen reminded the maid.
Although he also felt a little that the boy was joking, the behavior of the young lady with the eye patch just now had been very strange, and he was more curious about that.
However, curiosity was one thing. He did not connect that young lady’s strange behavior with the mission completion the boy mentioned. After all, less than a minute had passed from start to finish. How could the mission have been completed in such a short time?
"I’m really not joking. If you don’t believe me, you can come in with us and take a look."
Kotone Asaba did not take the maid’s attitude to heart. After all, this was only the thought process and reaction of a normal person.
"I’ll go look. Master, please stay here and be careful."
The maid who had spoken impolitely just now spoke again.
