To an outsider like Rodan, the relationship between Le Yuan and Bayonetta was that of rivalry. Although the two of them could not say that they would fight every time they met, they would inevitably taunt each other.
It is not Le Yuan who often starts the war, but Bayonetta, who is a woman. Although Bayonetta often suffers as a result of every provocation, Bayonetta is like a child who only cares about food but not about beatings. , still willing to challenge Le Yuan.
Both an opponent and not an opponent. Having seen this kind of awkward relationship so many times, Rodin, the bar owner, felt relieved. He even saw that the two of them had a tendency to clash with each other, so he found a place to sit down by himself and said, "Double compensation for damage." "Just like an audience watching a play.
Bayonetta's only partner in recent years is Enzo, a short, fat man who speaks in a slippery tone and is always complaining.
Enzo is very ordinary. At least there is nothing eye-catching about this man except that he smells like cigars. He is an out-and-out ordinary person. Unlike witches like Bayonetta and angels like Rodan who have fallen into demons, he has no power of his own.
As an ordinary person, Enzo relies on his keen eyesight to discern the secrets behind dangerous societies, and uses complex interpersonal relationships to obtain information and earn rewards.
As an intelligence agent, such a person could live safely to Enzo's age. Without any means, he would have died on the street long ago. Not only did Enzo not die, but he still had a family, a beautiful wife and two children.
There is a lot of money to be made in dealing with paranormal events, and this is the reward that comes with high risks. But with such high remuneration, there are very few people who can truly say that they make a fortune.
Enzo's source of income is divided into two parts, one of which is his job as an intelligence merchant, and the other is the commission he receives for introducing work to Bayonetta.
There is no doubt that the latter's reward is definitely a lot, but it is difficult for Enzo to get that high reward. This is naturally not because Bayonetta deducted Enzo's reward after completing the task, because even Bayonetta You can only get part of the reward.
The supernatural missions issued by the government provide only ideal rewards for revenge. The rewards that are actually sent to those who complete the task need to deduct other expenses, such as damage to public facilities caused by dealing with angels and demons, repairs to historical buildings, hush money for ordinary people, etc. The more impact it has, the more Then the income will be less.
The level of completion of Bayonetta's mission was very high, and the efficiency was not slow. However, the noise caused by the completion was a bit too much, which resulted in a large amount of expenses deducted for the aftermath.
Another morning, Enzo staggered around like a big penguin, but from the way he took three steps and sighed, it could be seen that he was not in a good mood, and his head was about to fall apart. Chest, head lowered as if looking for coins dropped on the ground.
Walking on a remote road, Enzo was about to think about whether he should go to Rodin's for a drink, but then he thought about it, Bayonetta still owed Rodin a large amount of money, and Rodin would not look for Bayonetta. For trouble, most of the bills were written under his name.
"Alas -" It's difficult to be a middleman these days, Enzo sighed again.
Bang—
Enzo, who didn't raise his head, bumped into a person. According to Enzo's tonnage, although he was an ordinary person who was not good at fighting, he could still run rampant with his weight of more than 100 kilograms, but Under this collision, he felt as if he had hit a wall.
thump-
Sitting down on the ground, Enzo, even a thick-skinned man, felt a heartbreaking pain at this moment. Enzo, who came back from his meditation, instinctively raised his head and yelled: "Why are you walking? It hurts so much." Got it!"
It's just that this kind of yelling was only half a sentence and then couldn't be uttered anymore. Enzo raised his head and saw clearly the person who knocked him down. It was the man who was so terrifying that Bayonetta couldn't turn over. —Le Yuan.
As an intelligence dealer, Enzo also has a lot of information about Le Yuan, and Bayonetta has also specifically asked him for relevant information.
But even if Enzo used all his connections, he knew very little about Le Yuan. Everything about Le Yuan originated from the man who suddenly appeared in this world like Bayonetta 16 years ago. Everything is a mystery, only this man's power shows that he is definitely not easy to mess with.
But what Enzo cares more about is the completion of Le Yuan's tasks. He can complete the assigned tasks perfectly every time, and he can get a big reward every time. This is for Enzo who is almost used to being deducted from his pay. That is simply the most perfect partner.
Sometimes Enzo would involuntarily imagine, replacing Bayonetta's cynical character towards tasks with someone like Le Yuan, completing every task with excellence. If he could really do this, I'm afraid he would have become a rich man even if he relied on the commission.
This kind of imagination is just Enzo's imagination in his spare time. Based on his many years of cooperation with Bayonetta, he knows that this kind of thing is impossible to become a reality.
Seeing Le Yuan's face clearly, Enzo immediately changed his words, put on a smiling face and said to Le Yuan: "Isn't this Mr. Le Yuan? What a coincidence. I'm really sorry just now. I was thinking about something and bothered you. Already…”
In Enzo's mind, if you can avoid provoking a person as powerful as Leyuan and a small person like him, you should never have anything to do with him, otherwise you will be destroyed if you are not careful.
"Get up, Mr. Enzo!"
Le Yuan looked at Enzo who fell to the ground and smiled and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pull him up.
This move really confused Enzo. Judging from the rumors and previous confrontations with Bayonetta, it seems that Le Yuan's strength and temper are not very approachable, or that he is not very approachable. Most people can still keep a distance, but what are they doing now
After pulling up Enzo, Le Yuan patted the shoulder of Enzo, who was several heads shorter than him, and said, "Are you interested in going for a drink together? I think you should be free now, right?"
I am free, how can I not be free? It's just that Enzo would rather be too busy to keep his feet on the ground while drinking with Le Yuan in this free time.
But at this moment, Enzo did not dare to say no, and said with a shy face: "Of course, since Mr. Le Yuan has this interest, I will accompany you!"
This brought people all the way to Rodan's Gate of Hell. After coming here, Enzo felt a little sore, but he finally felt that his safety was guaranteed.
Not long after they sat down, Rodin placed a bottle of wine in front of the two of them, and then said viciously: "Enzo, when are you going to settle Bayonetta's bill together?"
Bayonetta's weapon repairs and replacements are not a small sum, coupled with a woman's shopping nature and the cost of searching for information about her past. Bayonetta's own money was far from enough, and she had to bear a large amount of debt, and it all ultimately fell on Enzo.
"Haha... Rodan, you also know that the world is difficult. When I receive a big task next time, I will definitely cancel all the debts!"
In other words, Enzo and Rodin were not short of money, otherwise no one else would have the guts to say such a thing.
Le Yuan and Enzo drank a few glasses of wine while drinking each other. Enzo, who was still a little bit reluctant to let go, immediately started to let go of the conversation and lost his initial restraint.
Enzo kept pouring out his bitterness, saying how difficult his family was, and how difficult Bayonetta, the eldest daughter, was to take care of. This made everyone sad when he saw it, and shed tears when he heard it.
"Enzo!"
"Huh? What's the matter, Mr. Le Yuan?"
"There is a promising mission, are you interested in taking it on together?"
"Mission, what about it?"
Although Enzo has been drunk, it does not mean that he is confused at this time. The task mentioned by Le Yuan cannot be an ordinary task. The most likely thing is that it involves angels and demons.
"Well! The mission requirement is for a man and a woman to go together to a certain cruise ship in a week. According to the information obtained, there will be a big scene there. The superiors asked me to blend in to protect the safety of the relevant people. I want to bring a female companion, so I might as well let that Bayonetta is coming too..."
Female companion? Enzo looked at Le Yuan with unreasonable admiration. In Enzo's opinion, Bayonetta is beautiful but inhuman. She has not changed at all in her appearance for 16 years. Ordinary people will definitely not be able to bear this important matter.
Only someone like Le Yuan, who has the same ageless physique and can subdue Bayonetta by force, dares to let Bayonetta become a female companion.
"Mr. Le Yuan, you also know that Bayonetta really doesn't hold back at all when fighting. It seems that she is not suitable as a guard..."
"No, no, no... What I want is not for Bayonetta to protect someone, but for her to take action at the right time to kill the angels who come out to cause trouble, that's all!"
The mission Le Yuan mentioned was obtained just three days ago, and its level is considered to be the highest in recent years.
These were originally random tasks for Le Yuan, but the target of this task involved an important group - the Izavel Group. This group was unknown in the past, but in recent years it has been maintaining... Gleed's reputation grew.
The Izavel Group is a giant complex enterprise. It can definitely be regarded as a giant in terms of assets. However, such an enterprise is currently only entrenched in Viglid. This cruise activity is carried out by this enterprise and the government. Organized jointly.
The top executive of the Izavel Group is none other than Baldr. Perhaps this name is not familiar to most people, so if he is called Bayonetta's father, many people will probably remember him.
The enchanting man who likes to wear a peacock around his neck is also the boss of Bayonetta. As the last member of the Lumen Sage, his union with Bayonetta's mother created the beginning of an unending feud between the two tribes.
Enzo is just a microphone. Although he is very interested in the reward of this task, the final decision lies with Bayonetta.
