Four Split Personalities

"What do you think this place is?! Get lost, but leave the money and Second Madam here!"

Such shameless remarks, under normal circumstances, Jun Wu might not be able to utter, but given that he was talking to Motan, he said it without any hesitation, which could be said to be extremely shameless.

And to this shamelessness, Motan was quite receptive. He nodded happily and chuckled, "Good, then it’s settled. If you guys are busy, Laisa can help out a bit. Don’t worry, although she’s from a rich family, she doesn’t have any princess sickness at all, she can do dirty and tiring work."

"Lady Laisa..."

Wei Yang got up and sat down next to Laisa’s left hand, whispering, "Why do I feel like you’ve been sold out by Tan Mo?"

Laisa sighed and glanced at Motan before shrugging, "That’s true, and he didn’t even consult with me, the very person involved, before bringing me here."

"Huh?"

Jun Wu, who thought the other party was prepared, looked at Motan in surprise and exclaimed, "You didn’t tell us, okay, but you didn’t even tell Lady Laisa about this?"

Motan leaned back in his chair lazily, and when he heard this, he immediately tilted his head to look at Laisa and asked with dismissive indifference, "Do you have a problem with that?"

"What if I do?"

Laisa huffed lightly.

"Then I’ll walk away immediately, and after that whether you get caught and taken back or killed in some dark alley, it will have nothing to do with me at all."

Motan smiled carelessly, not giving her an inch.

Wei Yang, who was also a girl, glared at him fiercely, hissing, "You, how can you talk like that?"

"Ha ha, I’m just telling it like it is; look, she’s not even angry~"

Motan blinked, slipped an arm over Laisa’s shoulder, and chuckled softly in her ear, "So, baby, what do you say?"

"It seems I’ll have to impose on both of you for a while."

Laisa was not really angry, only smiling gracefully at Jun Wu and Wei Yang, "You’ve heard him; since he’s spoken to that extent, I can only obey."

Jun Wu gave a slight nod and then pushed up his glasses to stare seriously at Motan, "Alright, now that we’ve agreed, shouldn’t you also tell us the real reason for letting Lady Laisa temporarily stay with us?"

"Heh, I didn’t see it coming that you are quite curious, is it because you look a bit feminine."

Motan, still looking casual and relaxed, teased before carelessly explaining, "You might have guessed, I’ve been in the City of Freedom for quite some time now. During this time, I’ve had Laisa laying low in a place not too far or too close from here, until a few days ago, when I finally gained a decent understanding of the City of Freedom, as well as figured out a lot of the ins and outs. So, I’m planning to move on to the next phase of the plan, the first step of which is to bring her back to the City of Freedom, show her face a bit, and then find a place where she can avoid most dangers. And your establishment is, for now, the best fit for that."

Jun Wu kept nodding while listening, but ten seconds after Motan finished, he frowned and asked, "Is that it?"

"That’s it."

Motan nodded, wearing an ’otherwise what do you expect me to do’ innocent face.

"How long have you actually been here? Why haven’t you contacted me during this time? What exactly is this so-called plan? Why is the Cavos Family after Lady Laisa? And how can my place provide a safe haven?"

Jun Wu immediately rapid-fired a bunch of questions, staring at Motan with gritted teeth, "And most importantly, what the hell do you want to do?"

Motan shook his head with an especially irritating expression, "What I want to do doesn’t really concern you. Although I could tell you, it’s one of those things... Are you sure you want to know?"

"I..."

Jun Wu, catching a warning glint in the other’s eyes, tugged at the corner of his mouth and after hesitating for quite a while, resolutely shook his head, "Forget it, just tell me when you think it’s appropriate. Then what, are you planning to leave now?"

"No hurry, I plan to provide you with some interesting news first, and then entrust you to collect some targeted intelligence."

After saying this, Motan saw Jun Wu’s rapidly souring expression and added with a smile, "Don’t worry, it’s not a difficult task for the person in charge of the No Night Area Traveler Inn."

The other person sighed heavily and leaned back onto the sofa, "You go ahead."

Motan didn’t beat around the bush and simply blurted out, "The Dark Elf lad who’s downstairs settling accounts for you guys is named Cleo Ilumina. He used to be the manager of a hostel in Vienne City, and three months ago he went to the Violet Empire to gather intelligence regarding the Supreme Council. Furthermore, he was spotted near the main battlefield during the Lord’s Allied Forces campaign against the Marshall Family and then disappeared. About three days before or after his disappearance, the Vice Manager of Vienne City’s hostel also vanished after handing over the business to a temporary replacement. That’s pretty much what happened, not sure if it helps you."

"Cleo Ilumina..."

Jun Wu dropped his head and rubbed his chin unconsciously while pondering, "I’ve heard this name, hmm, if I remember correctly... Wei Yang."
