Era of Breakdown

v19 Chapter 18: Non-performing assets, heroes save the U

Remember [New] for a second,! With Yae Ji's keen perception, the change in the thin boy's expression just now could not escape his eyes.

'The surface of the contract market is almost gone, let's go and see what tricks this person is up to. ' Yaeji thought of it, and then said, "Then go and have a look."

"Okay!" The skinny boy looked even more humble, with a dog-leg appearance, "Two young ladies, please come this way~"

Rita hesitated, wanting to correct the man's name, but seeing no response from Yae Ji himself, she stopped talking.

‘Presumably the eight major people are too lazy to correct. ' Thinking of the number of times Yae Ji was mistaken for her identity along the way, the corners of Rita's mouth twitched slightly.

The thin man took Yae Ji and the two to the depths of the contract market, bragging about the quality of his "goods" as he walked. Seeing the two of them following unguardedly, the man's heart was filled with fiery heat.

'This noble lady's figure is not as good as that of a maid, which is a pity. But just with this face, she can sell as many drachmas... With her status as a noble lady, there are many people who would like it. This maid...at that time, she will also pack her identity and sell it for a good price! When you have money...' (Note 1)

Yae Ji, who didn't use his heart to spy on other people's thinking, didn't know what the thin boy was thinking. His eyes were attracted by the beggars on both sides of the street.

"Miss, miss, do it well~ Do it well~" Seeing the two beautifully dressed and temperamental men, the sloppy-looking disabled old beggar stretched out his hand, dangling the iron bowl in his hand, and a few coins that were polished to silver light went back and forth. Collision, making a tinkling sound.

"Go, go, go!" The skinny man who was dreaming of making a fortune kicked the old beggar's bowl, "Go away, you 'bad asset'! If you stain the clothes of the two young ladies, will you be able to pay for it? you?!"

Seeing the thin man's behavior, Rita frowned indistinctly.

Yaeji stood still, raised his chin slightly, and said to the thin man, "Go and pick it up."

"Uh...this..." The skinny man just wanted to reply, but when he saw those strange eyes without a trace of emotion, a pressure suddenly pressed him out of breath.

When the skinny boy reacted, he had already picked up the iron bowl that was kicked away.

'Liao! ' Recalling what he had done just now, the skinny man's face suddenly became ugly, and he didn't know why he suddenly listened to the woman's words like this. The commanding tone made him think of the extremely disgusting boss.

'It will enter my territory immediately, let her be arrogant for a while, just pick it up! ’

After some self-comfort, the skinny man stuffed the iron bowl into the arms of the old beggar, and just wanted to smile at Yaeji with a shy face...

"And all the money, get it all back."

"You!" The indifferent tone made the thin boy want to attack, but the inexplicable pressure made him admit it...

'Damn this stupid bitch*, I'm a ****, when it falls back into my hands, I'll make your life worse than death! ***! ’

Although the coins are not small, it is more difficult to find them in the streets and flower beds. It took a lot of effort for the man to find all the coins.

"Old man, do you have any of these?" Rita bent slightly, resting one hand on her knee, and asked the disabled old beggar.

"Yes, yes! Thank you, miss! Thank you, miss!" The old beggar bowed to Rita and Yae Ji, which made the skinny boy feel even worse.

Rita took out a 'drachma' from her skirt pocket—the currency Shakespeare gave her.

"Old man, this is for..."

"Miss, no way!" The skinny boy quickly stopped him: "You must not give it. There are a lot of 'bad assets' in this street. If you give one, they will come and ask for it!"

The old beggar bowed to Rita again, said some words of praise, and then laboriously moved his disabled body and left silently.

Rita straightened up, and her face was no longer the gentle smile she always had. She had a very bad impression of the man in front of her.

"What do you mean by non-performing assets?"

"What do you mean by them?" The man explained: "'Non-performing assets' are all indebtedness or criminals, **** with little technical talent, and they can't do the manual work given to them by the city hall. They are disabled and have no descendants. , the bad debts owed are giving the city hall a headache, and I don't know how to recycle these garbage..."

The man talked a lot, and his mouth was full of complaints about these "non-performing assets".

Rita's inquiry also pleased the man, further confirming that the two were outsiders. How could the locals not know what "non-performing assets" in the contract market mean?

"how much longer?"

After entering the alley, Yae Ji's question made the man's heart a little tight.

"It's coming soon, you don't know how dangerous it is for us to steal people from the big bosses at the city hall. The more indentured slaves with special skills, the more valuable they are. Our batch is definitely high-end goods, you Don't worry!

It's almost here, we have an underground banquet hall, and many foreign businessmen come to us to pick something..."

The man's mouth is bragging, whether it's true or not, it all depends on his own imagination. In his opinion, it's enough to fool people into it.

"It's here, please come in~"

The man's smile was still humble, but the fire in his eyes could not be hidden.

Yae Ji swept away with invisible energy, and found that there was no so-called underground banquet hall in this house, only a few squatting men squatting.

As soon as the two entered the house, the door slammed and closed tightly, followed by the wretched laughter of "hehe" from the hooligans.

"It's finally here, I*! I've been waiting for a long time! What the **** are you doing!"

The beautiful language spit out from the rogue's mouth, as if dissatisfied with the thin man's slow action.

"It's all to blame for this bitch! Damn it! What the hell! Now it's in my hands, I think you're still talking to me in that lofty tone!" Please beg me on the ground, maybe I can forgive your mistakes!"

"Hey~" Yaeji sighed, "I really thought there was an underground auction."

"They're all hooligans~lightnovelpub.net~ It's normal that they don't have the energy to contact high-end talents." Rita echoed and chuckled, not paying much attention to everything around her.

"It's also very good as a condiment for 'date'." Yae Ji smiled: "It's still a common hero saving beauty."

Hearing 'date', Rita's eyes flashed, and she didn't know if it was Yae Ji's joke about Shakespeare's declaration of activity, or if she really meant it.

"Then Rita is looking forward to it."

"You? Are you still a hero to save the beauty? Hahahaha!" The thin man didn't panic when he saw the two, and the expression on his face gradually became ferocious and terrifying, "As expected of a noble lady, her literacy is high! It's all like this, and I still have a mood. joke..."

"Hahahaha! They just read too many romance novels in the big library! They are also heroes! Little beauty, my brother is a real hero!"
