Chapter 685: Chapter 120: I Told You, I Don’t Take Clients! Chapter 685: Chapter 120: I Told You, I Don’t Take Clients! War God Mountain, inside a secluded cottage.
Three delicate figures gathered under the light, gleefully counting the day’s earnings.
Watching the substantial haul they had gathered today, Circe, as the organizer, joyfully began to distribute the loot on the spot.
“Stheno, you managed the shifts well, 300 Gold Coins for you,”
“Euryale, your espionage was successful, 20 gemstones for you.”
The two Medusas eagerly took the scattered gemstones and Gold Coins placed in front of them while they waited excitedly for Circe to continue. However, she remained silent for quite some time.
An impatient Euryale couldn’t help but ask, “Why aren’t you distributing anymore?”
“It’s all distributed already,” said Circe, blinking and serious.
Stheno narrowed her eyes slightly and pointed to the pile of loot like a small mountain in front of Circe, “What about these?”
“The rest obviously belongs to me!” said Circe matter-of-factly, while her eyes gleamed as she pulled high-value items such as the Magic Guidebook, Mithril, and Mountain Copper towards the Magic Circle Diagram connected to her own vault.
“You wish!” scoffed the two Medusas, unceremoniously grabbing Circe’s hands and simultaneously activating the Magic Circle Diagram.
In an instant, the loot that had nearly reached the ceiling was reduced by nearly half.
“It’s all mine! All of it!” Circe stamped her feet and beat her chest in anger.
But seeing her two “plastic best friends” showing no signs of pausing, she gritted her teeth and increased the Magic Circle Diagram’s suction power, joining the fray to fight for the spoils.
Finally, after a chaotic scramble, the three looked at their almost even shares and couldn’t help but curse each other’s lack of integrity in their hearts.
Of them all, Circe was the most disgruntled, accusing her accomplices with a gloomy expression, “I raised him! Why should you get as much as me?”
Euryale, responsible for espionage, retorted first, “Was it only for me? Ladon, Hydra, and the Harpies all exerted effort too.”
“You said it, we’ve also got a bunch of siblings to support. What’s wrong with taking a little hardship fee from you?” added Stheno, who was in charge of planning, smiling slyly at Circe, “And after all, what’s left is still far more than what you earn peddling little cupcakes all over the mountainside.”
Circe, hearing this, nodded her head.
As her dissatisfaction gradually faded, the Witch of the Eagle looked at the glittering pile of loot in front of her under the light, her eyes sparkled brilliantly as she couldn’t help but exclaim, “The child really wasn’t raised in vain; he is so much more valuable than a little cupcake.”
“Are you content with just a bit of profit? There’s still a long way to go,” Euryale looked contemptuously at Circe and huffed a reminder, “I remember quite a few queens and divine blood types who haven’t bought tickets yet.”
Stheno nodded in agreement and began to sketch out a bright future, “No rush, as long as we work together sincerely, we’ll gradually unravel his full value.”
Inspired by these words, Circe clenched her right fist tightly and smashed it into her left palm, her face flushing with excitement, “Exactly, let’s expand and shine even brighter!”
* Bang!* The tightly shut door was kicked open, and a shadow cast a long silhouette into the room.
The three culprits dividing their loot inside the cottage trembled as they saw the sinister smile under the moonlight.
“I still have a pot of wheat porridge simmering in my kitchen…”
“I haven’t fed Hydra today…”
“The Harpies are taking me out for a meal…”
One after the other, the three perpetrators found excuses and simultaneously bumped into the walls trying to escape.
Luo En smiled with his lips curled, casually taking a half step forward.
Instantly, the wooden structure of the cottage was covered with golden patterns, transforming into an impenetrable steel cage as the space around them sealed off.
Caught off guard, the three criminals each banged their heads against the wall, forming large bumps, tears welling up as they clutched their buzzing heads, squatting down and wailing.
Luo En strolled up and examined the three, smiling with a false amiability:
“Daring to sell me, you’ve really grown some guts.”
Feeling the intense drop in atmosphere, the two Medusas looked at each other and simultaneously raised their hands in a certain direction, loudly declaring:
“It was all her doing!”
Circe, being jointly pointed out by the two, was suddenly infuriated and ground her teeth in accusation.
“What do you mean it was all me? Clearly, you were also involved!”
“We were just helping…”
The two shameless Medusas, feigning innocence, joined forces to shift the blame onto Circe.
“And yet you took so much!” Circe shouted in rage, wishing she could hammer her two plastic best friends on the spot.
We took the benefits together; don’t think I’ll take the blame alone!
Stheno and Euryale certainly weren’t easy targets either, rubbing their hands with sinister intentions at the side, their thieving eyes glancing towards the back of Circe’s head.
If we knock her out, can we pin these crimes on her for sure?
However, before the scheming trio could start their scuffle, three massive, heavy clouts struck them.
Their heads, previously raised defiantly like fighting roosters, suddenly drooped down, and large lumps emitting white steam bulged prominently.
Luo En huffed, extending his hand towards the three.
“The stuff you earned selling me, bring it all out!”
Faced with this formidable power, the gang could only reluctantly pull out their loot and place it in front of themselves, praying for lenient treatment.
Yet, Luo En scanned the loot barely taller than the three of them and couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
