The faint fragrance lingered here, making Zhang Fan think of the girl's voice, appearance and smile who had been by his side during this period of time.

“It’s difficult!”

He sighed for no reason. He was not a fool, so how could he not feel the special feeling Liu Yingying had for him.

But he has never been a promiscuous person, and although this girl is beautiful, she still has flaws in his eyes.

Therefore, this feeling will definitely not be reciprocated.

As his strength grows, Zhang Fan also knows his fate very well, and there are only two outcomes.

Either he disappeared suddenly like the owner of the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth in the previous generation, leaving behind a mess, or he found the root of everything. Apart from the unknown threats, he never considered whether he should enjoy the peace and tranquility of the world.

These things only stayed in his mind for a few seconds before he put them out of his mind.

The current situation can be considered serious, but there is no time to think about these personal affairs.

"Now that everything in the Pawnshop Secret Realm is almost complete, it is time to expand our influence and recruit some real talents and geniuses. The more complicated a person's background is, the less pure they are. It is better to look at those who are powerless to resist and are deeply tortured by pain."

The reason why I had this idea was entirely because of what happened in the Ala Desert before.

He saw with his own eyes that Kevin and Sakasha were both born in humble circumstances, but they burst out with abilities comparable to those of geniuses who were carefully cultivated and trained.

Especially Kevin, what he did was shameful, and you could even say he was a criminal.

However, this guy is very much to Zhang Fan's liking, and this guy's background is also very interesting.

Instead of supporting a so-called savior, it is better to support a guy who is both good and evil. For Kevin, what Zhang Fan gave him was the beginning of a new life.

He will never change his vicious mind and snake-like character. If this knife is used well, it can be equivalent to training ten ordinary extraordinary people.

Even if Li Anna was a woman, if she really ran into Kevin before she gained her abilities, it would be difficult for her to get any benefits from this man.

For Zhang Fan, the role of a knife is far more practical than that of a vase.

Liu Yingying's biggest role in joining this alliance is to provide financial support and the ability to expand her network and influence.

Anna, who possesses a very strong ability to judge people, can be used to identify and select new members for the Tiandi Pawnshop Alliance.

And when it comes to intelligence gathering, this woman is smarter and more perceptive than anyone else.

But at the moment, there is still a shortage of manpower.

"There is a candidate." Zhang Fan came to the statue and thought of someone.

That was the guy he met in the scrap factory that day and who was almost swallowed by the monster.

The quality inspector seemed to be carrying a very heavy responsibility. As long as Zhang Fan showed a little bit of his ability, he was sure that the man would need his help.

At that time, you can not only earn merit, but also find a sharp knife for yourself to use. It seems to be a two-birds-with-one-stone thing.

…

Late at night, at the gate of a hospital in the city center, quality inspector Xiao Liu hurried out of the hospital.

Although the street lights are bright late at night, their light does not make people feel safe.

Xiao Liu lit a cigarette, leaned against the lamppost on the side of the road, and let out a long sigh.

During this period of time, in addition to being frightened every day, he also had to worry about his mother's illness.

Xiao Liu knew very well that his mother's illness was getting worse and worse, and perhaps she would leave him in the future.

So Xiao Liu always squeezed out time to accompany his mother and comfort her emotions so that he could feel less guilty.

After finishing a cigarette, Xiao Liu threw away the cigarette butt, sighed deeply, turned and walked towards a shared car. Half an hour later, he arrived outside a bungalow in the suburbs that he rented to save money.

When you push open the door and walk into this simple home, what you see are all kinds of study books for passing the exam to improve your grade as a quality inspector.

These books are extremely difficult to understand and give people a headache just reading them.

But in order to increase his salary and make it easier to treat his mother's illness, he had to learn.

Sitting on the chair, it was already one o'clock in the night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

My mind couldn't help but recall what happened in the abandoned factory.

A few days ago, after he was rescued from that place, he went through several indirect inquiries and signed an agreement in a daze, promising that he would never disclose what happened this time, before he finally left that place.

And just yesterday, he received an email, which was an invitation letter. The mysterious department seemed to be worried about him and gave him a choice, asking him to give up his current job and join this department.

But when he learned about the salary the department offered him, he became hesitant.

He needed a lot of money to treat his mother's illness, rather than being a leisurely typist.

Although that kind of salary is not low for ordinary people, he is under such great pressure that he would rather obtain a certificate to earn more money.

Therefore, he realized how stressful his current situation was, so he even forgot about his tiredness and studied hard every day. This was his only way out and the only way for him to make money.

Just as he gritted his teeth, opened his book, picked up a pen and paper, and prepared to start studying hard, suddenly, the door behind him was pushed open.

He was startled, stood up in panic and looked back, then stood there in a daze, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground.

“You…you are…”

Xiao Liu's face was filled with shock, and his eyes even revealed fear, confusion, and some panic.

"Quality Inspector Liu, you seem to have forgotten something."

Zhang Fan walked into the simple room leisurely, glanced at the various things in the room, and then formally set his eyes on Xiao Liu.

"Sir, no, Master." Xiao Liu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "I didn't tell anyone about you. Even if those people found me, I didn't tell them what you looked like. I didn't even dare to mention you. Please don't kill me... I really didn't say anything!"?
