Chapter 263 Chapter 260 Farewell to Master
Ge Gongdao showed his impressive fighting ability, and easily defeated his opponent with the supercomputing martial arts · Five Flashes. He stood back beside his master with a confident smile, and then raised his eyebrows to Zhuang Xuteng. The meaning was obvious: I had a great fight, I wonder what you will do.
Zhuang Xuteng twisted his mouth, rolled his eyes, and then continued to maintain an upright posture and a cold expression, but there was a little expectation in his eyes. He looked at Morgana in the corner with his peripheral vision, wondering if he could also have a chance to show his face.
After a long while, although some people kept making noises, no one stood up to resolve the grudge. At this time, it was finally Lucy's turn to appear. She raised her hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be quiet and listen to her.
"Everyone who has had lunch is here, and everyone is busy. If no one has any grudges to settle, then today's ceremony ends here. I'll ask again, if anyone around you can't hear, please remind each other - this is just a restaurant, and I don't care about ear implants. One last time: Is there anyone who wants to come up and settle grudges?"
Lucy waited for a few seconds, then clapped three times, announcing the end of the ceremony. Famine Stranger officially retired from the mercenary industry and would be an ordinary person from now on. The grudges during his time as a mercenary have been settled, and from now on he is just a passerby.
Everyone present also clapped three times, and then stood up and left in twos and threes. They would greet each other, wave to Lucy, and even blow a kiss to Ge Gongdao, but no one paid attention to Famine Stranger anymore, and even tried to avoid eye contact. The best way to do the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony is to wash your hands in a golden basin to remove the dust, and then shake them without taking anything with your hands.
Soon, only Lucy's people, Morgana, and Famine Stranger were left in the restaurant. The legendary mercenary is gone, but the master is still here, so Zhuang Xuteng must accompany the master first. At this time, the wine can finally be served. Lucy poured four glasses for them, sat down with them, raised the glass and said, "Congratulations, the ceremony went smoothly."
Famine Stranger raised his glass and smiled in front of everyone. "Lucy, thank you, but I don't believe you will drink that glass of wine."
"I can't drink it without taking off the mask, so of course I won't drink it. I just raised the glass for show. Your identity information has been destroyed. I did it myself, so you can rest assured. Anyway, you know my phone number, and I will continue to accept commissions as long as I don't retire. But don't think about getting any regular customer discounts from me."
"Understood, I will try not to look for you unless I hear that day you retire." Famine Stranger tilted his head back, drank the wine in the glass, and then sighed. "It's strange. I've been looking forward to this day, but I don't feel anything special when I finally retire. I should feel calm and happy, or sad and touched, but I feel nothing."
"Empty? Or is it hypocrisy?" Lucy shook her head, put down the wine glass and said, "I'm not a psychologist. You three can talk slowly. I'm upstairs. When you two are done, come to me. I have a task for you. It's not an urgent task, so you have enough time to take care of this hypocritical old man first."
"Okay, beautiful lady, don't be an eyesore here. You only show the mask but not the face. Alas..." Famine Stranger waved his hand, leaned forward, and drank Lucy's glass of wine again. Then he picked up the Qingquan from behind, gently placed it on the table, and then pushed it to Ge Gongdao.
"Master..." Ge Gongdao picked up the Qingquan with both hands and held it in his arms.
Zhuang Xuteng was happy for Dao Ge and worried about his master: "Master, it would be bad if you go out empty-handed. What if someone ambush you outside without morality..."
"It seems that I have to teach you a lesson." Famine Stranger said: "Do you know why it went so smoothly today? Do you think I have a good relationship with everyone? Naike, you are smart and you definitely don't think so. Do you think my enemies will think that I have many friends and don't want to be the target of public criticism, so they don't want to come to the restaurant to make trouble? The most likely action of such people is to ambush me outside, especially when the ceremony has just been completed. They are worried that it will be difficult to find me once I am in the crowd, right?"
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and admitted that he thought so.
"I went to investigate and arrange retirement. You don't think I went to see the scenery or find a house? No one jumped out to cause trouble at the ceremony because there was no one. I went to the door in advance and resolved all the grudges that should be resolved - it's that simple."
"Kill them all?" Zhuang Xuteng was stunned.
"If it's just a lone wolf, then kill it to avoid being killed. For the rest, I must grasp their weaknesses and make them cautious. The key is to buy ten years. As long as I disappear during this period, they will never find me again."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "But Master, you still have to be careful. Some people don't show up themselves, but you can pay others to show up."
"Find mercenaries through middlemen, or let the gangs do it? In fact, both middlemen and gangs have concerns and will worry about retaliation. Those who dare to pat their chests and come to me for trouble are either super idiots or really capable and knowledgeable guys. As for the latter, even if they find me, they are here to discuss the return of the meal."
Zhuang Xuteng frowned and said, "And the company, if..."
"I understand what you mean. Big companies can survive corporate wars. They are very powerful and are not afraid of retaliation. It is indeed impossible to solve the problem. This is why Lucy does not accept or rarely accepts commissions against companies. Okay, you don't need to worry about me. I'm just retired, not demented or paralyzed. You two just need to be mascots."
Ge Gongdao nodded and said, "Master is so confident, I can accept Qingquan with peace of mind. I promise..."
"You don't have to promise me, and I won't supervise you, which is tiring. I have taught you everything I can teach you, I..." Famine Stranger thought for a while and said, "There is one more thing. Ge Gongdao, I am a little worried about you. You have completed the five flashes now, and it's time to solve the problem of Viper. Everyone in the industry knows about your matter. If you don't solve it, there will always be trouble. And your former teammates, it's best to get an ending as soon as possible. Solve these things, and you can move up a level in the industry."
"Okay, I listen to Master." Ge Gongdao nodded.
"Nai Ke, I will keep the things you gave me. You are thoughtful. You are smart and can find ways to solve problems, which makes me feel relieved. I will tell you one thing: although you have a good brain, you can't solve all problems. You have to improve the ranking of using fists to speak in various solutions."
"If you can't make it through, just fight." Ge Gongdao added.
"It's not like you... You have to do the opposite. You can't be sentimental in everything. You have to turn your face when you have to." Famine Stranger raised his hand and patted the shoulders of the two at the same time, saying: "Okay, I'm leaving now, don't see me off, Lucy has arranged for me to leave through the secret passage. You don't need to remember my alias and contact information, it's best to forget them as soon as possible. You two are the best mission I have done in my life. In order not to make you proud, I added the word "one of"."
The master left with his hands behind his back, and Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao sat in the middle of the restaurant-they had to sit here, which was also one of the arrangements for the whole operation. In the future, if anyone wants to find the Famine Stranger who disappeared in the crowd, the most direct way is to find them. From then on, they became the master's safety layer, but they did not feel troubled, and they only felt honor and responsibility in their hearts.
"You don't have to stare at me here, I won't lend you the spring to play with." Ge Gongdao raised his chin and said, "Go see your girlfriend, don't ignore her."
Zhuang Xuteng nodded, and just turned around and saw Morgana standing up. She waved her hand, pulled open the hem of her shirt, revealing the PCPD badge hanging on her belt, and then made a phone call gesture.
Although he understood what she meant, Zhuang Xuteng still chased after her. "Why don't you sit for a while? There are actually quite a few good meals here."
"There are still tasks in the team, and there are a pile of documents waiting for me to process." Morgana posed as if she was playing an accordion vertically, and said with a smile: "I won't stay any longer today, I'll find you another day. This retirement is quite interesting. It seems very lively on the surface, but it's actually quite warm at the core. I don't think it's in vain. Let's go, don't see me off, otherwise I'll be mistaken for a starving stranger with makeup on, and that would be bad luck."
"My master can't put on makeup like you no matter how hard he tries." Zhuang Xuteng was amused. He also knew that he could only stay in the restaurant today, and it would be best not to go anywhere, let alone go out on a date. For safety reasons, he didn't even send Morgana to the door, but let her go by herself.
"Naike, I solemnly apologize to you, I can't put on makeup like Morgana - I'm not cute enough." Ge Gongdao chuckled evilly, with a sly expression on his face that I was happy to see a good show. "Master has told you, don't use your brain all the time, just beat him violently, everything will be solved."
"If I do that, I will probably be the one who gets solved." Zhuang Xuteng rolled his eyes and said, "How happy you are talking now, how embarrassed you will be when it's your turn. I have a good memory now, I will definitely keep an eye on you and see what you will do."
"Oh, thank you for keeping an eye on me..." Ge Gongdao shook the Qingquan and said, "Although I have got it, I will definitely reach the Seven Flashes before you. Hehe, Master gave me special training and gave me special guidance based on my situation. I am full of confidence now."
"That's great, you go first If I improve, I will save my brain. In the past, I always had to find a way to be one step faster than you, otherwise you would not make progress. Alas... It is such a wonderful thing to not have to use my brain! "
"Master also asked me to take good care of my fellow apprentice."
"Master will definitely not say that. I can tell from your expression." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "Master is retired, and it is time to look forward to the future. If you are not in a hurry now, come with me to find Sister Lucy! She said there is a mission, and I am curious and itchy. "
"You are really a qualified mercenary." Ge Gongdao stood up, hung Qingquan on his belt, twisted his buttocks to find the center of gravity, and walked in front with square steps.
