The lobby on the first floor of the apartment was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.
Huang Jinxiang had blisters on his body from high temperatures, sore and itchy, but he dared not scratch the wound. He knelt cautiously in front of the bandaged woman, like a death row inmate waiting for his sentence.
"I’m gonna blow your damn lungs out, no more sugar-coating it, I’ll shoot you straight through the stomach!"
Huang Jinxiang cursed inwardly.
The monstrous woman had her head wrapped in bandages, her face impossible to see, but she picked up the gold bracelet, held it before her, seemingly observing it. A few seconds later, she slipped the bracelet onto her left wrist, turning it over, satisfied.
The bandaged woman opened her shoulder bag and took out a business card, handing it to Huang Jinxiang.
Huang Jinxiang hurriedly accepted it with both hands, his gaze quickly scanning the business card, noticing three Korean characters on it.
Translated, they meant ’Kim Agent’!
This was the woman’s position.
"Damn it, a teagirl acting all high and mighty in front of me?"
Huang Jinxiang was fuming with rage.
In Goryeo and the Cherry Blossom Country, at the corporate hierarchy’s bottom are the employees, and just above them are the agents. So, this bandaged woman, despite looking the part of an elite, was nothing in terms of rank. Not even a deputy director needed to acknowledge her—she’d have to serve tea and water obediently with just one look from them, else she’d face retaliation.
The bandaged woman was thrilled with the gift, admiring it a while longer before noticing that Huang Jinxiang was still kneeling before her. Displeased, she immediately lifted her leg and kicked him.
"What does this mean?"
Appa frowned, wondering if the gift was insufficient.
Huang Jinxiang was cunning, instantly realizing she found his presence annoying.
"Goddess, you’re busy, I have other matters. I’ll be leaving."
Huang Jinxiang said with a smile, though he was extremely unhappy inside. He remembered the way his ex-girlfriend had treated him before he became a God Hunter.
It took several gifts just to successfully invite her out.
The bandaged woman waved her hand impatiently.
Hua Yue Yu was shocked. Was even the monster this materialistic?
She took the gift but gave nothing sweet in return.
Huang Jinxiang quickly moved aside, looking at the business card in his hand, unsure how to handle it.
Carrying this thing, he wondered if the monstrous woman would seek him out again.
But to throw it away...
Truthfully, he was reluctant to part with it!
Huang Jinxiang glanced toward the Chanel bag the monstrous woman carried.
This item was one of the Space forbidden items. If he could obtain it, then his trip to Busan would be more than worth it.
Considering the combat power the bandaged woman displayed crushing that black man earlier, if he could ’conquer it’—find a Taboo thing to influence her—he’d gain a top-tier enforcer.
Apart from her head wrapped in bandages, which was a bit frightening, this female office worker had a nice figure. If he put a hood over her head, she wouldn’t be so bad!
The weathered Huang Jinxiang felt a surge of competence, wondering if he could gain an advantage from the situation.
Seeing Huang Jinxiang survive, everyone exhaled a sigh of relief.
It seemed that offering gifts to the monster could save one from misfortune. They began calculating what valuable items they could offer, better and more expensive than the rest, just in case.
Right, judging by that black man’s death, you can’t simply give money.
Li Yintong cursed quietly yet envied the bandaged woman—refuse a gift, and she’d simply kill you. That must feel fantastic.
The office lady sipped her coffee through a straw, pulling down on her dress hem to smooth wrinkles, looking around before walking up to Lin Baici and extending her hand.
Bath and Jilu instantly relaxed.
However, Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu started to worry.
The Goryeo girl came from a wealthy family, usually decked in luxury, but the high temperatures on the 10th floor had nearly melted everything she had on, except for a Van Cleef & Arpels watch.
If not for the honey smeared on it, the watch would have melted too.
Seeing Lin Baici targeted by the monster, the Goryeo girl didn’t hesitate. She quickly removed her watch to hand it to Lin Baici.
Hua Yue Yu was about to take off her jade bracelet for Lin Baici, but seeing Kim Myungjin’s watch, she backed down.
Looking at the sprinkled diamonds on the dial, appreciating the exquisite craftsmanship, and considering its function as a timepiece, it looked more like a piece of lavish jewelry.
The Little Merperson, having just started to earn money from streaming, had glimpsed this brand of watch and was promptly discouraged.
A wristwatch costing millions was simply out of reach.
Lin Baici didn’t accept the watch. If that was all Kim Myungjin had left, what would she offer as a gift if the bandaged woman turned her attention to her?
"Damn, this woman is really simping!"
Gao Heng was green with envy.
"Why won’t he accept the watch?"
Jie Susi furrowed his brows, contemplating whether Lin Baici had a better gift to offer.
It hardly seemed likely. If the bandaged woman was pleased with a gold bracelet worth tens of thousands of yuan, then a luxury watch worth over a million surely would suffice. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel⚑fire.net
Lin Baici could afford such gifts, but could he spare them now, when needed?
Or did he discover another critical point to avoid the pollution?
Jie Susi observed the professionally dressed monstrous woman, recounting everything since her arrival, yet remained clueless.
"Brother Lin, don’t be rash!"
Li Yintong, braving herself, offered a warning.
The goal was to stay safe, quickly gift the creature to send her away, and not even think about fighting.
