Interstellar Era of Gossip

Chapter 26 [Paying off the balance]

Xi Jin nodded frantically with tears in his eyes.

　　The payment time agreed with Higgin soon arrived.

　　Nalun's mood became complicated when he thought of the gold-eating beetles that were under surveillance but were completely unaware of it.

　　Xerxes's decision to remain silent was obviously intended to lure out his accomplices; if he ran out now, he would be walking into a trap.

　　Since Xi Jin was able to contact Eli Da, it means that his friends also have Xi Jin's contact information. So the way to settle the balance may be changed.

　　Nalun planned to hide the money first, and then inform Xijin to get it himself.

　　So he sent a communication application to Eli Lilly.

　　"Hmm?" The call was quickly connected, and a lazy male voice sounded, "Nalun?"

　　Nalun frowned: "Who are you?"

　　"Elida often mentioned you to me...Do you have something to do with him?"

　　Nalun: "..."

　　"But he hasn't woken up yet. If you have anything to say, you can tell me first and I will convey it to you."

　　What the hell is wrong with this tone of declaring sovereignty?

　　Nalun tried to find out: "No need, some things must be discussed in person."

　　"Haha." There was a hint of danger in the lazy voice, "What a good relationship."

　　This time he had confirmed that the junior student on the opposite side was showing hostility.

　　So Nalun laughed softly: "Yes, very good."

　　"..."

　　Nalun cuts off the call.

　　After that, no matter when he sent a communication request, the lazy voice would always come from the other side.

　　He strongly suspected that his friend Elida had met with an accident.

　　In the end, he had no choice but to give up his original plan.

　　In a deserted area outside the imperial capital, a dark figure was moving quickly. Under the dim starlight, it was vaguely apparent that it was a thin man.

　　He had been waiting here for a whole day and walked around the villa nearly ten times, but the other party still did not show up.

　　Thinking of the 50,000 Yabis that he had not yet received and the difficult escape these days, the humanoid octopod was a little angry.

　　He felt in his pocket, took out a coin, put it in his mouth and started chewing it.

　　—The delicious metal calmed him.

　　However, Nalun, who was hiding in the dark, could not calm down.

　　There were many mosquitoes at night, and many red envelopes were found on the exposed wrists. Nalun pulled his coat closer and wrapped himself more tightly.

　　From a distance, he could see Higgin wandering around his villa. He wanted to rush over and take him away, but there were Xerxes' minions lurking around, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

　　I don't know how other people prevent mosquitoes.

　　At this moment, Xijin suddenly covered his stomach, looked around cautiously, and then silently ran to a patch of half-human-high grass.
