The Harbringer

Money?

It has now been a few days after Eula and Ronan had their "night" and Ronan, was currently Liyue. Specifically in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

"Oh! It's Ronan! So, do you have another client for me to bury? The last time you went here you had 12 clients, and you payed for all of them?"

"Of course I had to pay, they were dead."

"Director Hu, you don't need to speak so loudly."

"Oh come on old man, don't ruin the fun now?"

"I'm going to go......"

Ronan sneakily left, as he was buying some grilled tiger fish. He managed to spot Aether and Paimon, he swiftly followed them, they stopped as the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing was making an announcement. After her announcement, Aether had a quick chat with Ningguang. After waiting for them to finish, he approached them.

"Yo Aether, Paimon."

"Oh, it's Ronan."

"So, what did the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing say?"

"You could just call her Ningguang."

"I say what I want to say, ok." He says with a threatening smile.

"She said that she was building a new Jade Chamber, and she was paying anyone who'll bring her 3 materials."

"And the materials are?"

"Sunset Vermilionite, Wonder Cores and Adepti Sigils."

"Hm......... I see, so how much does it pay?"

"We don't know but the minimum would be about half a million mo-"

"Sign me up, hey how about this! How about the three of us look for these items! I'll take the adepti sigils while you guys take the others."

"Um we have-"

"Hey guys! Something looks fishy over there."

Paimon says as she points at two men harassing a woman.

"Oh le-"

Ronan stops, he sees someone eerily familiar.

"Wait, you guys go check what's up. I need to check on something."

Ronan runs at a wall and jumps over it. A few turns here and there and he stands face to face with a certain ginger head.

"Tartaglia......."

"Hm? Oh! It's the traitor! Ah, it's great seeing you again! How are you?"

Childe says as he pretends to act like they were old friends.

"Fuck off."

"Awwwww, come on now."

"Why are you here? Don't tell me you're assigned in Liyue?"

"Yep, that's right."

"That's just...... great."

"Oh! Also, do you mind me capturing you? I could potentially be promoted to the top 8 if I capture or kill you." He says with a cheeky smile.

Ronan on the other hand gives him the finger as he leaves.

"Aw....... fine then."

Childe says as he fires an arrow at Ronan while his back is turned. But Ronan only tilts his head for the arrow to miss as he catches it and breaks it.

"I don't wanna do it here........"

"Well, I do."

He says as he charges in with his water blades. Only for him to miss as Ronan grabs him and sends him crashing into a few boxes.
