“Eh, what’s-your-name.” Nameless Nie glanced at Spray of Flowers. “Spray of Pine.”
Spray of Flowers’ mouth corners jerked. “It’s Spray of Flowers!”
“Spray of Flowers, care to join our group?” Nameless Nie inquired, grinning.
“Heh, even if this madam dies and has nowhere to go back to, I won’t team up with you, a crook!” Spray of Flowers huffed.
Nameless Nie spoke chillingly, “Sure, you can refuse, but then I’d need to eliminate you. You’re a mercenary dispatched by Zhao Yechao, after all.”
“Well, actually, joining you sounds okay… You’re ace at making deals, so tailing you should let me enjoy a lavish life.” Spray of Flowers’ face shifted abruptly, and he quickly smiled to amend his words.
“Finally, you got it right. A life of luxury is just the bare minimum,” Nameless Nie remarked.
…
Upon discovering Taoist Devotee and Spray of Flowers’ hiring fees, Nameless Nie’s gaze lit up. He bonded swiftly with both and assembled a mercenary squad.
“What’s our mercenary group’s name?” Taoist Devotee asked, eyeing Nameless Nie.
Nameless Nie pondered briefly. “It’s Lots of Money Mercenary Team!”
Taoist Devotee: “…”
Spray of Flowers: “…”
Ling Miao: “…”
“Captain, Lots of Money Mercenary Team sounds way too tame! How about World Go Round Mercenary Team?”
“No chance! Wealthiest Mercenary Group hits harder!” Taoist Devotee cut in.
Nameless Nie: “That’s even lamer than my Lots of Money!”
“World Goes Around is still tops; money makes the world spin! Super profound!”
Moments later, Nameless Nie turned to Ling Miao. “Pretty auntie, got a name suggestion for us?”
Ling Miao stayed silent, grabbed a pen off the table, and scribbled words on some white paper.
“God Killing Mercenary Team”
…
With bellies full, Nameless Nie sent Taoist Devotee and Spray of Flowers home ahead.
He extracted plenty of intel from them.
Details like Zhao Yechao dispatching hordes of pros to waylay him and Ling Miao, plus owning guns.
Nameless Nie ordered Taoist Devotee to handle the firearms upon returning.
In the woods:
Nameless Nie snatched Ling Miao mid-fall from the tree, using the moment to scoop her into his embrace.
“Let… go!” A faint flush colored Ling Miao’s face.
“Alright.” Nameless Nie released her on instinct, and she thudded hard onto the dirt.
“You!” Ling Miao’s expression turned pitch-black with fury.
“Huh? Warned you against climbing for that fruit, but nope, you ignored me. Down you went, right?” Nameless Nie shrugged casually.
In the end, Ling Miao brushed off Nameless Nie, settling anxiously by the tree trunk. “Can we trust those two?”
“If they weren’t reliable, they wouldn’t have left,” Nameless Nie answered coolly, his grin vanishing.
Nameless Nie hesitated a second. “Nameless Nie killed your father. Old Ling tasked us with this job, so we’ll see it through.”
“Still, I’m concerned…” Ling Miao furrowed her brows.
“Don’t fret.” Nameless Nie gazed at her, softly taking hold of her hands. “I’ve got you.”
Ling Miao trembled and yanked her hands away instinctively.
Nameless Nie pouted. “What’s the deal? You grabbed my hand daily as a kid! Why’s it fine for you but not me?”
Ling Miao shot him an annoyed look, paused briefly, then offered her hand. “Take it.”
Nameless Nie had only been venting and never thought Ling Miao would actually proffer her hand. His earlobes flushed oddly as he extended his arm slowly, tenderly gripping the girl’s delicate palms…
