"..."
Several workers had their own reasons for not wanting to accept the tasks Will assigned them.
"Alright, alright, I have no ties, so I'll be bold and take their wages back for them. I'll search one by one, I'm sure I'll find them!"
Will seemed somewhat helpless, but he understood the workers. They were strangers to each other, and after experiencing life and death, all they wanted to do was go home as soon as possible. They didn't have the time or inclination to find the workers' homes and deliver their wages.
"Will, you're a living saint, aren't you? You really took this thankless and arduous task?"
After overhearing their conversation, Joey couldn't help but look at Will with new respect.
"Lei Feng?"
Will looked puzzled; he had never heard of this person before.
"He's a good person who's willing to be a cog in the machine and has lofty ideals!"
Joey patted Will on the shoulder, as if he saw the brilliance of D in him.
"I don't know if he's a good person or not, but someone has to do this, otherwise my conscience won't allow it!"
"But you, aren't you leaving yet? I heard that Lady Catherine telling you to go with her!"
Will crouched down and began to take stock of the coworkers' belongings piled together. They mainly consisted of some money bags. These people who went out to work didn't bring anything important with them. High-end items like photos were indeed useless to them in this world.
"I also have something I'd like to ask you, kind person, for a favor!"
Joey pulled Will aside, agreeing that Will was indeed a trustworthy person, and waved to call the bearded man over as well.
"I'll be taking Big Beard with me later. There are still some things to take care of in town, and I need you to help me out!"
Joey looked around to make sure no one was nearby before lowering his voice to speak.
"But from what I heard from that official, he only wants you to go with her alone!"
Influenced by Joey, Will also deliberately spoke in a very soft voice.
"Don't worry about that. I'm a little uneasy about leaving Big Beard alone!"
Joey glanced at the big, goofy guy beside him. This brother had a lot of flaws, but he also had his good points. Although he hadn't discovered them yet, he believed that he would eventually find them.
“Joey…”
The bearded man was deeply moved, and his two large, twisted whiskers trembled.
"Is there anything else you need me to do for you?"
Seeing that Joey didn't mind having such a burden as the bearded man, Will became curious about what else in town needed his attention.
"There are two sisters in town, named Fri and Fran. They've been with me for quite a while now. I'm leaving suddenly and didn't have time to say goodbye, so I wanted to ask you for a favor!"
As Joey spoke, she began to show some reluctance.
"Twin sisters? They've been with you for a while now? Tsk tsk tsk..."
Will's gaze towards Joey instantly changed, becoming filled with envy. Indeed, this topic never goes out of style among men.
"What I want to ask you is to explain today's events to the two of them. The orcs are coming, so please advise them to leave as soon as possible. You can also mention that I killed the orc. As for where to go, it would be best to go to a big city, as it will be much safer there!"
"Also, there's something I'd like you to give to them for me, as a small token of my appreciation!"
After Joey finished speaking, he carefully took something out of his pocket, held it in his palm, and hesitated to open it.
"What's that? It's all so mysterious!"
Will leaned closer, staring at Joey's palm, but it was covered so tightly that he couldn't see it at all.
"A gold coin!"
Joey checked again to make sure no one was around before slowly opening his palm.
A gold coin suddenly appeared in his palm, its captivating golden light never tiring to look at, no matter how long one gazed upon it.
Will and the bearded man were completely stunned.
After a while, the bearded man came to his senses. He straightened his clothes and appearance, feeling that this was the respect that should be shown to the gold coins in front of him.
Although one gold coin is only equivalent to one hundred silver coins, in this small town, even though there are some wealthy people, they cannot produce a single complete gold coin, let alone one in the hands of a migrant worker.
"Joey, are you really going to give this gold coin to those twin sisters? I think the Lei Feng you mentioned is more suitable for you."
Will's eyes never left the gold coins, but he still checked with Joey again.
"Okay, give it to them. I believe I'll earn more gold coins in the future!"
After Joey finished speaking, she resolutely stuffed the gold coin into Will's hand, afraid that if she was a few seconds late, she would really regret it.
Will accepted the gold coin with a flattered expression, wiped his hands on his already not-so-clean clothes, and then put them close to his chest.
"Alright, everything's settled, Big Beard, we should go!"
Joey walked directly in the direction Catherine had left.
"Joey, you're just going to give it to him like that? At least let me touch it!"
The bearded man stared longingly at Will's chest, not moving an inch.
Will, at this moment, acted like a young girl, hurriedly covering her chest, as if afraid that the bearded man would see her exposed.
"Hurry up and follow me, I'll take you to earn gold coins!"
Joey shouted, partly to reassure herself.
The bearded man then started walking and caught up with Joey, turning back every three steps to continue staring at Will's chest.
