Chapter 468 Principles
“How can it be worthless?”
The handsome man took a step forward with a pale face. "He has a special body. President Bin explained it so clearly yesterday..."
"You still don't understand what I mean," Xia Yan interrupted him, "When I say value, I mean the emotional aspect.
Even though I haven't met him in person yet, I know he's miserable, spending years in a lab without any privacy, being carried under a shadowless light. He's forgotten how to be happy, so how can he make others happy?
The handsome man's expression was intriguing, as if he was half crying and half laughing: "I heard from others that you opened a hotel..."
"Yes, a law-abiding hotel."
"You..." The handsome man was in a trance. He really hadn't heard that word for a long time. When he first heard it, it seemed so distant as if it happened in his previous life. But when he thought about it carefully, it turned out to be just a few years ago.
"Is there no other way?" He was unwilling to give in. He was terribly panicked, even more frightening than the first time he encountered zombies.
Suddenly his eyes lit up: "I'll give you the crystal core! Go and shoot it!"
Xia Yan:?
"And then I have to kill him for you?"
For no reason, it will affect her luck in drawing tasks next time.
"No."
Xia Yan turned his head to the side, expressing his attitude with his clear, smooth and beautiful jawline.
Maybe the angle was just right, my sight naturally fell on the cleaner who was cleaning the walls in the bathroom. She was wearing yellow rubber gloves and holding a rag, she was carefully wiping off the dried blood stains bit by bit.
It was as if an artist striving for perfection was facing his masterpiece, with his shoulders, neck and back tense.
The handsome man's anxious voice brought Xia Yan back to consciousness, "When did I say he should die?! Don't be so mean—Bah, sister, beautiful sister, I'll provide the crystal cores, and you can help me make the call, and I'll pay for all the expenses. Can't I? If the job is done, I'll pay you fifty level five crystal cores in one lump sum! Okay?!"
"Are you serious?"
Xia Yan was still staring at the same spot, but he was talking to the beautiful man.
"True! Absolutely authentic!"
"The key point is, do you have that many crystal cores? Mr. Mermaid is not cheap."
"...You're a bit contemptuous of me. After all, I've been with him for so many years. If you reveal his secret money, it would scare the living to death."
"Oh, one more thing. If you get caught, what do you want to do with the person?"
"...Well, how about letting him go?" The handsome man said, his eyelids half-closed, not knowing what he was thinking. "Let him see the outside world. Even though it may not be beautiful, it's better than the operating table."
Xia Yan finally turned her eyes to the handsome man.
After looking at it for a while, she smiled and said, "I can help you, but you have to bring the crystal core over now. I'm a principled person and I won't pay a cent of the money I shouldn't have advanced. And you have to pay me in advance."
The beautiful man choked: "You don't believe me...?"
Xia Yan smiled and said, "If you believed me, wouldn't you have asked this question?"
Beautiful Man: ...
It makes sense.
"Wait for me, I'll get it."
The handsome man admitted that he was gambling. Whether it would succeed or not depended on whether the man had the heart. If he really cheated him... he could only blame his fate...
Xia Yan: Huh? There's such a good thing? Next time, tell him in advance. I'll make him suspect that he's the reincarnation of Tang Monk. He went through 81 trials and tribulations in his life, and at the end of his life, he still couldn't see the Buddha or obtain the true scriptures.
The door closed and Xia Yan was the only one left in the corridor.
Somehow, people coming out of the room would rather give up the close stairs here and go around in a big circle to go up and down the stairs on the other side.
It seems like he is afraid of something.
The upper deck was bustling with people, and so was the lower deck; only her place was a deserted area.
Moreover, it was already this late, but neither Jing Yimai nor Chu Wanfu came to look for her. Perhaps they were too busy with their own things to come, or perhaps they were tied up and couldn't leave.
Xia Yan ordered a cup of coconut coffee from the food city to refresh himself.
After a while, the door opened a crack, and the handsome man waved from behind, "Come in, just in case there are spies outside. Besides, wealth should not be exposed!"
Xia Yan nodded silently, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then slipped in.
“Click.”
The door is locked.
The handsome man took out the heavy LV suitcase that was behind the door with both hands and said, "It's all here. Can you count it?"
"Of course." Xia Yan asked him to lie down and open his eyes, and his eyes instantly turned into $-$!
There are three such boxes in total, all of which are filled to the brim. Moreover, the handsome man seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. He actually divides the crystal cores by color and seals them in clean bags.
Just like Mei Nan didn't ask where her iced coffee came from, Xia Yan didn't ask him how he got so many level five crystal cores.
"This is all my belongings..." The handsome man suddenly felt reluctant to part with it.
Xia Yan stretched out his hands to protect him, saying in fear, "You're not going to regret this, are you? Don't worry, I will kill Mr. Mermaid cleanly and definitely not under your old attacker's nose!"
The handsome man glanced at her and couldn't help sighing.
Xia Yan suddenly felt something was wrong. "I haven't shown you my strength yet. Next time, when you have a chance, come to my place for dinner and I'll give you a discount! A VIP discount!"
The handsome man squinted his eyes and asked, "How much is the VIP discount?"
Xia Yan: "Sister, you have to know one thing, not everyone has the opportunity to get a VIP discount. You are different from ordinary VIPs, and you get a bigger discount than them."
The handsome man uttered an "oh" and continued to ask unwillingly, "How much is the discount?"
Xia Yan made a mysterious gesture with one hand and said, "88% off, awesome! Only you are awesome, hi~"
Beautiful Man: ...
Xia Yan: "There are more handsome guys than grains of sand!"
Beautiful man: "It's really awesome."
...
Xia Yan took the crystal core and went straight back to the hotel.
"Get rich, Xiongxiong."
She happily opened all the boxes. The colorful things were so dazzling that even Xiongxiong was stunned.
"Boss, didn't you go out to play? Did you...rob a pirate's lair?"
"Emmm, it's about right, right? Come and help me count. I need to know the exact number so I can quote you the price tonight."
Then, she picked out 50 colors she liked and stuffed them into her waist bag.
"I have to go over there. There are people waiting for me."
After saying that, Xia Yan returned to the cruise ship and appeared in the middle of the floor of his room.
From the bathroom behind me came the sound of water splashing, followed by the sound of a brush scrubbing the floor.
Xia Yan walked forward.
The cleaner who was squatting and cleaning the corner was startled when he saw her appear at the bathroom door, as if he had never expected her to appear suddenly.
Didn't she go to the next room?
When will you come back?
"We'll be almost done cleaning, please be patient for a moment." The cleaner lowered his head, listened to his heart pounding in his chest, and quickened his pace.
"No rush."
Xia Yan smiled, reached out to close the door again, twisted it lightly with his fingers, and locked it.
