Mr. Melancholy Wants To Live A Peaceful Life

CHAPTER 111

Lian Yufan considered his wording, then said, "Behave yourself and do your job. Though you don't have your special ability, with your brain, you can still provide a great deal of information to the Protection Organization. Adding in the meritorious service you rendered in taking down Destroyer 217, even if you can't become a Protector, you can still be an outside staff member. You'll have rank and pay, you can..."

"Can get by clinging to the Protection Organization's coattails, life out my days at ease?" Huan Zixu coldly interrupted Lian Yufan.

"If you must take it like that, then yes," Lian Yufan said.

Huan Zixu shook his head. "You seem to keep misunderstanding something. The Protection Organization as you see it is different from what I see. You belong to this world. You've grown up being cultivated by the Protection Organization. You're one of their branches. The Protection Organization is your foundation. You supplement and complement each other. You're a unified entity. You think of joining the Protection Organization as a good thing, but it's different for me. I've survived in broken worlds where trusting the rules was tantamount to death. If I can't control my own future, then I won't feel secure."

There was nothing Lian Yufan could say. Their experiences were different. Anything he said would be futile.

"I have in fact decided to survive in this world, but even so, I still have the power of self-determination," Huan Zixu said. "A stable residence is one of the basic safeguards in life. Money will determine mine and Feng Kui's future living standard. I won't be satisfied with the present situation."

Lian Yufan sighed almost inaudibly. "I'll help you get your advance back from the sales office. Though you did unilaterally violate the agreement, from the standpoint of feeling, they really did take too much. Don't get up to your tricks again. Work hard to earn money. With your abilities, the down payment won't be a problem."

"Whoever loses is in the wrong. I've lost to Yu Hua this time. I'll take the eighty thousand as my tuition cost." Some unnatural redness appeared in Huan Zixu's cheeks when he finished speaking. He bit his lip, turned his face away, and said, "But if I could get a bit back...that would be better." Lian Yufan laughed lightly.

"I-I'll owe you a favor," Huan Zixu said, turning his back.

"There's no need for that," Lian Yufan said. "You bought that healing medicine from Destroyer 217 for me. That medicine far surpasses current human technology. It could fetch a sky-high price."

"Huh? Oh, that's right, I'd nearly forgotten about that. In that case, shouldn't you also split me a part of your 30% bonus? Then we'll be even." Huan Zixu turned quickly and began to bargain.

Lian Yufan had picked up his phone to call a friend to ask about the money. His finger paused. He looked at Huan Zixu and said, "You really are... I was just feeling sorry for you a second ago, and now I don't want to help you get the money back."

"I don't need your pity." Huan Zixu pointed at the phone. "Dial!" Lian Yufan shook his head. He got in touch with a friend, hoping to get the contact information for the developer.

To get the advance back, it would probably to no good trying to go through the law, because the advance payment was a guarantee. If the payer violated the agreement, the payee had the right not to refund it. If the payee violated the agreement, the then payer could demand double the advance payment in compensation.

Of course, if Yu Hua hadn't been in the middle making difficulties, the developer wouldn't normally have taken so much money. This wasn't entirely fair, either. Lian Yufan's friend did in fact know the developer and after reaching out to them called back:
