Chapter 100: Trap
Extra chapter from "Mahina" by Kofi!
With a soft click, a figure quickly jumped into the carriage and closed the door. Then he formally sat across fromTang Qi, looking a little restrained. He said in a respectful tone, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"It seems that you chose the second path. Weren't you worried that I was just saying it casually and might have cut off your future? After all, if you don't share those gold coins, you may be able to live a good life."
Tang Qi looked at Macauley with interest, his eyes indicating the location of the alley. The young beggars in it were obviously the "team" that Macauley bought with money.
Of course, if you wanted to have a group of subordinates, it was useless to just bribe them. The key point was to build prestige, but he didn't know how Macauley did it.
Faced with Tang Qi's question, Macauley just smiled and then firmly said, "I believe in you, sir!"
Very clever. Sure enough, some people just lack a little bit of opportunity. Once they get it, they may be able to carve themselves a career.
I am giving him such a chance now.
Tang Qi stared at Macauley and finally nodded.
Since the young beggar had already embarked on an unfamiliar and dangerous path according to his advice, Tang Qi would naturally not be stingy about his job opportunities. The most important thing was that he really needed a role like Macauley to arrange something.
With that in mind, Tang Qi took out a business card and handed it to Macauley. He said quietly, "This is your first job, to go to this place and pick something up, it's a pile of old newspapers. You need to act out a play, allowing the two twin sisters to find a message in the newspaper. "
"Remember, you can't be too deliberate, you must create an unexpected atmosphere, can you do it?"
Macauley was undoubtedly very excited at this moment, because not only did Tang Qi take out a business card, but he also took out a cloth bag that Macauley felt very familiar with. With a slight shake, the sound inside was enough to make the businessmen of Moses City give up their moral integrity and gasp in admiration.
It was the taste and sound of divine grace.
In the heart of the young beggar, something called ambition was brewing, and he suddenly realized that the path he had chosen might really have a future.
What's wrong with serving "big shots"?
As long as he finished the jobs, he would soon be able to live a decent life.
Macauley took a deep breath, and then quickly shifted his attention to the business card. After receiving it, he said: "Sir, Macauley will definitely make your will come true. As for the reward, I want to report to you in the evening before I receive it."
Tang Qi was a little surprised at Macauley's reaction, but the appreciation in his eyes became more intense. He put away the bag and said, "Okay!"
Then, after explaining some details, Tang Qi let Macauley get off the bus to complete their first small job after the establishment of their pitiful organization.
The content of the work was actually very simple.
They were going to set a trap for him.
Tang Qi had made up his mind to attack the Samra family, but he didn't intend to kill them directly by paying a visit. That method was simple and crude, but it was easy to lose some prey, and there would be a lot of unforeseen events. If other organizations or the government get involved, that was not something he wanted.
Therefore, he chose the Hariya Sisters as the entrance to the trap.
He asked the young beggars to perform an act, letting the inexperienced twin sisters discover a "search notice" on a pile of old newspapers.
The content was of a young rich second generation who was very grateful for his old steward's dedication. After the old steward's death, he was looking for the relatives of the old butler's who left abroad, and giving away a lot of money while returning the old steward's remains and ashes.
This search notice was naturally fake, and so was the pile of old newspapers. Such fake news was easy to deceive the Hariya Sisters but obviously couldn't deceive Abu, an ambitious witch. Whether attracted by the ashes or the money, Abu would go to buy a new newspaper to verify it.
Although newspapers that publish search notices were many times more expensive than ordinary newspapers, a rich second generation habitually publishing a search notice in newspapers specially set up for nobles sounded completely normal, didn't it?
Then by coincidence, Abu would find the same notice in the new newspaper.
Here, they could basically confirm that the message was true.
No matter what Abu originally thought, the family would urge him to contact Tang Qi as soon as possible.
Tang Qi did this, which was both a trap and a test.
He was testing the Samra Family. Did Abu know the truth?
If he knew that Old Morgan once wanted to change souls, but was now missing, he would definitely notice that it was a trap and would not contact Tang Qi. But if he didn't know, Tang Qi would soon receive a telephone call, or see a family member visiting directly?
…
After confirming that everything was correct, Tang Qi finally returned to the campus and happened to attend the "Monster Archives" class, and also met Sally in the same class.
Recently, the second generation with excess hormones and very bad temperament all mysteriously asked for leave, so Sally's life can be said to be very comfortable. She went to school and went home on time, nobody would bother her.
The girl's desire was simple, she just wanted to finish the courses of the thorns high school with peace of mind.
Then rely on her hard work to enter the Exquisite Phoenix University and leave this city with her mother, which in her eyes was only a city of suffering. And her mother also promised that when she was admitted to college, she would not interfere too much in her life, such as not letting her take off her glasses, not making friends, and not being allowed to dress up…
Tang Qi knew the "inside story", but he couldn't say it.
With regard to the handling of the witch of misfortune's secondary personality, Tang Qi didn't have the corresponding power for the time being
Even if he wanted to intervene, it would not be now.
After the class, Tang Qi said goodbye to Sally and went back to his brick building. He originally wanted to make extraordinary bullets, but after thinking about it, maybe the people in the Old Castle Bureau wanted something more with their order, so Tang Qi dispelled this idea.
Of course, Tang Qi wouldn't fall into boredom.
Instead of choosing a comfortable sofa, he came to the workbench, took out the "magic hair knot", and skillfully entered the state of decryption.
Time passed very quickly.
Before the workbench, beautiful figures of young girls kept appearing and then disappearing with smiles of relief.
This time, Tang Qi spent almost half a day working on it. It had already shrunk by a little, and in the evening, only one-third of its original volume was left. Although Tang Qi didn't receive any gifts in the process, the increase in mental strength was also a good harvest.
"Buzz ~"
Another hair knot slowly dispersed under the guidance of his mental power.
Tang Qi looked up, only to see two beautiful girls fluttering at the same time. Both of them chose a cheek, and after giving a kiss. In Tang Qi's mind, two pieces of information flowed in at the same time.
[You acquired a knowledge! ]
[You have learned Oro! ]
…
[You acquired a knowledge! ]
[You have learned how to tame beasts! ]
"Huh?"
Tang Qi, who was subconsciously digesting the information fragments, suddenly saw the name of the second fragment and immediately showed a look of surprise.
