After Li Cheng finished speaking, he saw the note on the ring again. He quickly spread out the note and glanced at the paper. Then his face changed and he looked at Li Wei, his elder brother, with a slightly nervous look.
Li Wei was originally angry, and seeing the look in his third brother's eyes, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. He temporarily suppressed his anger and asked, "What's wrong, third brother?"
"Brother, look at this." Li Cheng handed over the note.
Li Wei took it and read it out: "It has been several months since the family competition, and the Li family has not yet paid back the 100,000 contribution points they owe. I now order you to prepare 100,000 contribution points within one month, transfer them to an anonymous account card, and hand them over to Bi Dou, the owner of the Hunger Dance at the Gray Market in the Lower City District."
"If you fail to pay on time, you will bear the consequences."
"grim Reaper?"
After reading it, Li Wei was confused: "What a mess! Who is so bold as to leave such a note in my study?"
"No."
Li Cheng hurriedly shouted, "Brother, this is not a prank. The person who left the message is the 'God of Death', have you forgotten? During the family competition, my second brother and Cai'er were surrounded by the Xiao family and almost couldn't come back."
"It was a mysterious man who called himself 'Death' who sent them back. For this, my second brother even paid him a set of level 5 medium materials."
Li Wei then remembered: "Why, the second brother still owes him 100,000 contribution points?"
Li Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "My second brother seemed to have said so, but after the family competition, this person has not appeared. I am afraid that even my second brother has forgotten about it. I didn't expect that he would suddenly show up today."
"and... "
Looking at the ring on his palm, Li Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Besides, we don't even know when he came to our house. We don't even know when he came. In this case..."
Li Wei continued for him: "In this case, the Li family is no different from his own backyard to him! What are those rubbish doing? They didn't even know someone had entered his study and left a message!"
"And the second brother, look at him. Not only did he pay for a set of level 5 materials, but he also promised me '100,000 contribution points'. He thinks he is the head of the Li family, right? He didn't even discuss it with me beforehand and made the decision on his own!"
Li Cheng wanted to say that under the circumstances at that time, the second brother would not have had time to discuss it with you, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it and changed the topic, "Brother, then this matter..."
Li Wei waved his hand and said, "This is the time when our Li family needs money. Thanks to that gentleman, we have a great opportunity. If we seize it well, the Li family may soar to the sky from now on."
"Besides, there's nothing to be afraid of a guy who hides his head and shows his tail and pretends to be mysterious. The situation is special during the family competition. It's really troublesome to deal with this kind of loner master."
"But if he dares to act recklessly now, can't we, the great Li family, deal with such a person?"
Li Cheng originally had the opportunity to use that set of level 5 materials, but because Li Ye gave them to the God of Death, Li Cheng was delayed by several months before being promoted to level 5.
Li Cheng had no good feelings towards his second brother, this god of death who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Now that I hear what my brother said, I think it makes sense.
"At that time, my second brother suspected that this person was a retainer of a large family. Afterwards, I investigated and found that there was no such person in the upper five families. I think he was just a temporary helper invited by a family."
Li Cheng put down the ring: "If that's the case, we don't have to worry too much when dealing with this person."
Li Wei snorted: "If he knows what's good for him, he'll just run away with his tail between his legs, and that'll be fine. But if he doesn't know how to appreciate it, then he'll have to suffer a little."
Li Cheng hesitated and asked, "Should we inform my second brother about this?"
Li Wei said decisively: "No need, can't I make the decision on such a small matter? Do I have to ask the second brother for permission?"
Li Cheng smiled and did not answer.
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside the study: "Master, Master Dong Fang is here."
Li Wei immediately perked up: "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be there soon."
Then he patted Li Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Come with me to see Lord Dong Fang."
The two brothers left in a hurry, and the ring and note left by Tianyang were left on the desk, with no one paying attention to them...
... ... .
Nightcrawler Headquarters.
Training hall.
Tianyang finished his training, walked out of the training room he rented, used his ID card to pay the rent, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After changing into clean clothes, I came to the restaurant. I smelled the aroma of food in the air and my stomach started to growl.
If the restaurant was not closed at night, Tianyang would have wanted to have dinner before going home.
It's not like I can go to Xun's house for dinner every day... .
I can't be so shameless as to disturb Lao Xu's happy little family every night... .
Tianyang recently began to realize that his apartment lacks some popularity. Maybe he should hire a maid to cook for him every night
He thought about this question seriously as he walked towards the window where there was a long queue.
Finally thought about it and gave up.
I have too many secrets.
It would be really troublesome if the maid found out.
We can't just leave people in the drifting town again, can we
One psychopathic Nuo Jin is enough, but two
I dare not think about it. I dare not think about it.
After getting his meal, Tianyang found an empty corner and sat down. The treatment of the Ascendants in the Fortress and even the Night Walkers was very good. For example, the meal of Lieutenant Tianyang was obviously more sumptuous than that of the soldiers.
It’s a combination of meat and vegetables and is rich in nutrition. The key is that it’s provided for free!
When Tianyang went home to make dinner with a food machine, he had to buy the raw materials himself. Ingredients cost money, no matter how cheap they were...
Looking at the delicious food in front of him, Tianyang sighed again, why is the restaurant not open at night
Just as I was about to pick up my chopsticks, a faint fragrance came into my nose.
It is not the light and elegant plum blossom fragrance like Feimei, but a stronger one, with the fragrance of the fresh air after the rain.
Then Ji Yu's voice rang in his ears: "Hey, Xiao Tianyang, I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to have grown taller."
Looking up, it was indeed raining.
Under the light, she seemed even more beautiful, and there was a hint of boldness between her brows that was rarely seen before.
Moreover, he put his arm around the boy's shoulders in the same nonchalant manner, touched him here, pinched him there, and finally snickered.
"Hmm, not bad, I feel a bit more manly. Oh no, my sister is moved."
As always, he made some light jokes on the boy.
"Come on, Captain Jiyu."
A slightly cold voice sounded above their heads, and then Cang Du, who still had her ponytail tied, sat opposite them: "You are already the captain. If you tease others casually like this, what will your teammates think?"
Ji Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, Captain Cangdu, you are teaching me a lesson now. This is really unbelievable."
Cang Du tied his napkin on himself in an orderly manner, arranged the tableware, used chopsticks when necessary, and used a spoon when necessary, showing good and specially trained dining etiquette.
"It's not a lesson, I'm just reminding you that as a captain, you have the responsibility to set a good example for your teammates."
Ji Yu teased, "So you want all your teammates to become sister-con?"
Cangdu coughed and lost his power instantly. He shouted with a red face, "Sister Qingdai and I are innocent!"
Ji Yu blinked and said, "I didn't say Qing Dai, don't confess."
Looking at this familiar scene in front of him, Tianyang couldn't help but laugh. Although everyone has gone their own way, we have not changed.
It's still the same as before.
very nice!
"What are you laughing at, White Hair? Don't think that just because you've grown a little taller you've really become a man. See you at the training ground later if you're capable!"
"Go, Tianyang, beat him up. If you beat him, I'll give you a reward!"
... ...
It was a meal that was enjoyed happily and lively.
After eating, he was ready to go to the training ground for practice, but at this time, Tianyang’s communicator rang.
It was a text message from Han Shu, asking the members of the Raven Squad to gather at the team barracks.
Looks like a mission.
Strangely, Cangdu and Jiyu also received the message.
The ponytailed young man snorted and said, "White Hair, you're lucky. I have something to do and I have to leave first. I'll settle the bill with you next time."
Ji Yu also stood up and said, "Me too, see you next time."
After saying that, he slapped Tianyang on the butt, then ran away with his eyes blinking.
Why do I feel like I'm taking advantage of this woman...
Special team, Raven team house.
When Tianyang walked into the hall, he found that everyone was there.
Xiaoniao and Qianhong were talking about something. Kunlan took off his uniform and was doing push-ups on the floor. Only the captain Han Shu didn't see it.
“They’re all here.”
Soon, Han Shu's voice was heard, and then the captain walked into the hall.
He sat down on a sofa, and as soon as his butt touched the chair, he took out a cigarette.
After blowing out a smoke ring, he said, "There is a mission."
Kunlan asked excitedly: "Captain, what mission?"
"Why are you so excited?" Han Shu scratched his head that looked like a bird's nest and sighed, "I finally managed to hook up with a good woman recently. Now is the critical moment. Four Eyes actually gave me a task at this time. It's really unfair."
After a pause, he said, "Recently, the Lighthouse Base is exploring unknown areas of the metropolis. Not long ago, they found some strange things, like some kind of device. However, this device is made of flesh and blood."
Tian Yang said in a deep voice: "The 'work' of the black people?"
Han Shu took a look and nodded, "It should be correct. According to the report of the exploration team, that thing should have been abandoned for a long time. Currently, a team of scholars is studying what the thing is used for."
"But just last week, somehow, they seemed to have activated that device."
The bird exclaimed softly, "So, someone is dead?"
Han Shu shook his head: "That's not the case, but there seems to be more than one such device. After the flesh-and-blood device in the metropolis was activated, it continuously sent a signal of a fixed frequency. And three days ago, Four Eyes and his team discovered a second signal of the same frequency..."
