I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 117 - 117 109 Please pay the bill first

?Chapter 117: 109 Please pay the bill first! Chapter 117: 109 Please pay the bill first! After parting with Good Guy Liu, Lin An happily held onto the deposit card as he returned to the alley he’d just come from.

He believed Mr. Liu wouldn’t deceive him, which meant he suddenly had a million dollars?

That was a million dollars!

Not only could he pay off all his mortgage, but after doing the math, there might even be some left over, probably enough to buy a car worth tens of thousands.

Now he increasingly felt how inconvenient it was to not have a car.

For instance, he now had no idea how to get back.

In the dead of night, finding a taxi was extremely difficult.

Walk back?

Lin An once again felt the card in his pocket and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.

However, as he walked, his brows suddenly furrowed.

This Mr. Liu…

Before Lin An could set up the Mad Male Witch’s Tree Hole Organization and have them kill him…

He wouldn’t find someone else to kill him, would he?

It was indeed a possibility!

Lin An narrowed his eyes, quickly thinking things through, and slowly turned his head back to gaze at a certain part of the Green Sail Hotel’s towering building.

Otherwise…

Shouldn’t he lend Mr. Liu another hand?

No sooner had he thought it than he activated his innate witchcraft ‘Heavenly Eye’, scanning his environment briskly to ensure there were no issues and his brain, operating at high speed, began to analyze the best route to take.

Mr. Liu, here I come~

…

Mr. Liu couldn’t sleep anymore; he donned his bathrobe, holding a glass of wine with a complex expression as he stood before the hotel window, gazing out at the rolling thunderclouds with a flickering gaze.

A million dollars!

He was just a high-level wage worker; even after all these years, he didn’t earn much, despite taking advantage of his position.

To do great deeds, one must not care about their own well-being, he understood this principle and certainly didn’t cherish money.

But this money had not brought any advantages.

The only effect it had was to prevent the madman known as ‘Little Rabbit’ from finding an excuse to kill him.

The next step was still to kill Lin An.

Only a sorcerer’s mysterious and cunning methods could make Lin An’s death look like an accident: car accidents, cancer, cerebral thrombosis… Sorcerers had too many ways to deal with ordinary people.

He needed to find a sorcerer to take action.

He lit a cigarette, thinking rapidly about which sorcerer to approach.

Killing Lin An was only the first step; this man not only influenced the young boss’s ambition, he had also seemingly become an indispensable piece of the young boss’s business empire.

This was perfect; killing Lin An and then using Antler’s outsourcing to undermine Suxin’s business, Mr. Liu was confident he could bring down Antler Software Company.

Just as after Lu Tingyu’s death, he had used his means to make the old employees lose heart and leave, leaving the young boss isolated and in a difficult situation.

He wasn’t afraid of the relationship with the Witch Hunter Knights. He knew that these people could at best maintain some last shred of humanity and wisdom in their area of expertise; beyond that, they were all as good as idiots or wooden mannequins.

Nobody could help Lu Dexian.

Once the company was destroyed, this proud and arrogant young man would certainly face the biggest failure of his life.

Then, he would seek solace in the women of clubs and societies and lose himself in illusory fantasies…

At that time, the Antler would definitely separate from Lu Dexian’s body, he knew it, having followed Lu Ting for so long, he’d never eaten pork but seen pigs run.

The Antler…

Was his chance as an ordinary man without a sorcerer’s bloodline or innate talents, a chance to climb the ladder.

Effortlessly succeed Lu Ting’s every possession.

All the power, all the transcendent insights, all the might!

In one fell swoop become the most powerful transcendent in Shenhou City, not to mention the Witch Hunter Knights – even if they wanted to oppose him, they’d have to beat him first.

Dammit!

If it weren’t for the fear that the Antler would activate its automatic alarm and alert the prey, he should’ve actually poisoned Lin An directly!

“Some are born as donkeys and horses, some are born in Rome…” Mr. Liu sighed and shook his head, “Truly makes one envious.”

But that doesn’t affect anything.

The Antler will be his.

Next, Antler Software will be his, the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order will be his, and as for the Mad Male Witch’s Hollow, it all depends on the price offered by Chen Xinmi, otherwise, that too will be his.

The whole of Shenhou City will be his!

Boom~

Thunder suddenly crashed down, followed by the flash of lightning and the howling wind, as the sound of pelting rain hit the glass windows in an instant.

Reflected on the window was Mr. Liu’s face, growing more twisted.

Knock, knock, knock~

Suddenly, there was a soft knocking at the door.

Mr. Liu swiftly turned his head to stare at the hotel door.

He didn’t move, just kept watching.

But the door continued to be knocked on persistently, making an irritating knock, knock, knock sound.

So he reluctantly walked over, lifting his right hand while his left deftly flipped open a hidden small cover, readying himself to inject a sedative.

In the supernatural world, sometimes life and death happened in the blink of an eye, and this was his only means of survival.

Oh~

It was a life saved.

But that was already quite good, wasn’t it? After all, he was just an ordinary mortal.

Looking out through the peephole, a person wrapped in a loose black top and wearing a black fisherman’s hat came into view.

Under the brim of that fisherman’s hat was a mask adorned with a spiral pattern.

“Painter?”

How could this guy possibly find him?

Was his innate witchcraft to locate people? Divination? Or some other ability similar to locating people?

Since the Wizard had sought him out, Mr. Liu saw no need to question and beat around the bush, because there was no point; these lunatics never played by the rules.

He slowly opened the door, peeked out to check the hotel corridor to the left and right, gesturing for the Wizard to enter first, then cautiously closed the room door.

“Respected Wizard, may I ask what brings you to me?”

“I’m sorry, according to the Tree Hole Organization’s rules, we mortals should not be interacting with Wizards when we leave the headquarters.”

The ‘Painter’ Wizard seemed indifferent, muttering about ‘boring rules’ and looking around the hotel room, and when he saw a woman on the bed, he even whistled.

Finally, the ‘Painter’ slumped lazily on the sofa, propped up his legs on the coffee table, and with a gesture towards the neighboring sofa, said, “Sit~”

Heh~

As if he were the one who had booked this hotel room!

And Mr. Liu had to say thank you.

His tone was full of feigned honor.

With a smile, he looked at the ‘Painter,’ “May I know what matter brings the Wizard to my door?”

The ‘Painter’ Wizard seemed young and impatient, speaking hurriedly, “I heard that you spent a lot of money to have two senior Wizards kill an ordinary person.”

“If you ask me, there’s no need to use such a big knife to kill a chicken.”

“Someone like me, who is both inexpensive and experienced in killing people, is your best choice.”

“I don’t expect to snatch orders from the senior Wizards, I came to let you know, if you want to kill someone else in the future, find me.”

His tone of voice appeared particularly strange, filled with a weird excitement and agitation.

He patted his chest, speaking fervently, but from his chest came a dull thud as if from an empty wooden barrel.

But it didn’t matter, Wizards were all kinds of weird.

“Alright~”

The Painter stood up and dusted off his buttocks, “I came to you with just this small matter; I won’t disturb your sleeping beauty anymore, we’ll be in touch at the Tree Hole Organization when there’s something.”

“No, wait a moment, Wizard!”

Mr. Liu’s gaze flickered, and without much hesitation, he had made a decision.

A pillow is offered when one is sleepy; it would be too wasteful not to seize it firmly.

“?” The Painter turned his head back, looking at him puzzled.

“I do have someone I need killed, and I would like to trouble the Wizard to do it.” Mr. Liu signaled Lin An to wait momentarily, hurriedly walked to the table to grab his bag, and fished out a photo from an inner compartment to hand it over.

Lin An took the photo, raised an eyebrow intriguingly, appreciating his own handsome shot.

But, ah, Mr. Liu~

Your photography skills are quite something~

You’ve captured my dashing looks~

Cool!

“This person is called Lin An, employed at Antler Game Software Development Company, an orphan with no apparent friends, and he’s either working or at home every day.”

“I need his death to look like an accident, not a murder.”

“I have some conflicts with him, or at least that’s what some people think, so I don’t want to be suspected.”

“Easy~” Lin An chuckled coldly, “Too easy~”

He looked up at Mr. Liu, “Flat rate, a million!”

“!!!” Mr. Liu’s eyes widened incredulously, weren’t you just saying you were inexpensive?

You should know that for hiring the ‘Little Rabbit’ Wizard and the raccoon-masked Wizard, the price had been no more than a million in total.

It’s not that Wizards were inexpensive to hire.

Rather, for a Wizard to kill an ordinary person, it truly might be something done while going out for a meal or a casual stroll.

“Wizard, please!” Mr. Liu was struggling to maintain his composure, his money was painstakingly saved, not blown in by the wind, with much of it even being over-time sweat money, “By market rates, an ordinary person with no kin, no social status is worth about two hundred thousand.”

“Two hundred thousand?” Lin An voiced disdain, “I think you’re underestimating me!”

“!!!”

Market rates, market rates, do you understand the meaning of the word?

How is that underestimating you!

Mr. Liu was nearly spitting blood with anger but had to speak humbly, with a somewhat wronged tone, “But it can’t exceed the market rate by that much, I simply don’t have that kind of money.”

“Then how much do you have?” Lin An looked at him curiously.

Well, great.

You’re going to quote me the amount I say I have, aren’t you?

Mr. Liu’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, “I paid ‘Little Rabbit’ Wizard half a million, and I can offer you the same. I really don’t have any more than that.”

Lin An smacked his lips, looking down at the photo of himself.

“Fine, consider it a special discount for the first deal.”

“How do we transact?”

Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, “It’s usually after the job is done that the payment is made.”

“Heh~,” Lin An looked up at him with a ghostly gaze, “Usually? I’m sorry, but with me, it’s always pay first, then action!”
