Chapter 1486 You are great
Game time AM09:49
Second floor of the main house of Keyworth Manor, main office room
“Lesa actually gave up this place to You~"
Mo Tan, who quietly appeared in the room, smacked his lips and smiled slightly at the petite girl who was studying several reports with lowered eyes: "She is too comfortable as a hands-off shopkeeper. .”
Xiao Ai, who had just reacted, immediately stood up and saluted Mo Tan in a panic: "First... Sir! I'm sorry I didn't know you..."
"It's not your fault, it's me. No knocking, just sit down."
Mo Tan smiled at Xiao Ai, then went to the large sofa on the side of the office and suggested in a brisk tone: "Even if it is. My instructions also have priorities, remember to balance work with rest, and don’t exhaust yourself to death at this young age.”
He didn’t sit down obediently, but trotted to the cabinet. The girl skillfully brewed the coffee and replied with a slight smile: "I didn't work very hard, and Miss Lesa is not a hands-off shopkeeper. She helped with many of the things my husband told me. Uh, I mean those things that can make people happy." Things that Miss Lesa knows.”
“It doesn’t matter, you can tell her most things from now on.”
Mo Tan nodded slightly, and while squinting his eyes contentedly and inhaling the aroma of coffee, he said nonchalantly: "Last night... well, she should have told me this morning that she wanted to climb higher in this place. I have already told her about the street committee."
Xiao Ai showed an unsurprising smile and said without looking back: "Miss Lesa will definitely choose to let the Kaivos family continue to change. Big and strong , After all, this is the only way to keep up with Mr.
“Yes, I know.”
Mo Tan also laughed and said in a playful tone: “If she doesn’t. This will make me feel strange. All in all, everything is expected."
Xiao Ai brought a cup of coffee to Mo Tan and smiled sweetly: "Yes."
"If you are dissatisfied, you can express it. Don't be stupid like that kid Cole."
Mo Tan took the coffee, took a sip happily and then shrugged: "As a sentimental person, Girl, you have countless reasons to be dissatisfied with my thoughts, practices and statements. It is obvious that I took advantage of Lesa Keyworth's feelings for me, and it was absolutely impossible to give her any feedback. Under the circumstances."
Xiao Ai blinked and looked at Mo Tan with some confusion: "Is love something that must be reciprocated?"
"Ah...I'm sorry. "
Mo Tan patted his forehead lightly, made a playful face at Xiao Ai, raised his eyebrows and said, "I asked the wrong person."
Xiao Ai did not continue the topic, but sat respectfully on the sofa opposite Mo Tan and said with a smile: "And I don't think Ms. Lesa has anything to lose. If there are people like you, sir, who are willing to help, yes It is something that many forces in the Free City dream of. In my opinion, the Kaivos family is very lucky, and Ms. Lesa is also very lucky.”
“There is nothing unlucky, it’s just what you need.”
Mo Tan. He waved his hand nonchalantly and asked casually: "Harlequin card?" Has your office taken root here? I remember you have been busy with this for a while, right?"
Xiao Ai immediately got into work mode and answered without thinking without any information at hand. Said: “It has begun to enter the trial operation stage. It’s over. Although there are only a few small cards with a card value below five in the Free City, it can already handle some small tasks, but it may take some time to achieve real results.”
< br>“Yeah.”
Mo Tan nodded calmly and asked: "Where is the Angel of Death?"
"We were given a lot of trivial tasks with low difficulty and low rewards on the grounds that we were busy."
Xiao Ai immediately gave the answer, and then added: "They said they would draw equal numbers from it. For a commission of 30% of the total remuneration, we are also required to be responsible for the docking work after the task is completed. On the surface, it seems a bit bullying."
Mo Tan raised his eyebrows noncommittally and asked leisurely: "Actually. What?”
“Help us”
Xiao Ai gave his understanding categorically and said softly: "The Deathly Angels are an old gray organization. Logically speaking, there is no need to leave the matter to an unknown new force like the Harlequin Card. The reason why they will do something A small part of the tasks that I use to train new people are assigned to us, and we are even asked to be responsible for the connection. In fact, it is basically telling others that the [Harlequin Card] is protected by them."
Mo Tan nodded slightly in approval. He smiled at the girl in front of him and said: "Very good, the summary can be said to be quite insightful."
Xiao Ai shook his head shyly, wrung his hands uneasily, and whispered: "Actually, These are not summed up by me. Information such as the mode of training newcomers of the Death Angel is basically what Mr. Jun Wu told me."
"No, no, no, to be precise, this is not. Boss Jun, he told you, after all, I have never asked him for such a thing."
Mo Tan toasted to Xiao Ai and said in a brisk tone: "The reason why I can understand things so well. Clearly, in the final analysis, it was because you asked, and without any instructions from me, you found the most suitable person and asked him the most suitable thing based on your own ideas.”
If it were Cole sitting here, he would probably apologize to Mo Tan at this moment and feel guilty for being arbitrary, even though he knew very well that he just did the right thing.
But Xiao Ai is not Cole. Although she has the same origin as the latter, and is even half a year younger. She is undoubtedly a "country child", but she knows very well that her husband needs What he said was not an apology, but his own affirmation of the praise.
So the girl didn’t say a word, she just continued to smile shyly, perfectly interpreting what ‘silence is better than sound at this time’.
Mo Tan also smacked his lips with great satisfaction and sighed: "To be honest, you are much better than I thought. Although when you encounter problems, you can be said to be a human being when you go to someone for help. This is commonplace, and the matter itself is completely unworthy of praise, but it still cannot be concealed You already have the most important quality of a superior person - that is, 'knowing people and utilizing them well'. To be honest, putting aside the clown card, your utilization rate of that housekeeper Eva is simply amazing. . ”
“Mr. Overrated.”
Xiao Ai's face turned red immediately, and then he lowered his head in embarrassment and smiled coquettishly: "Actually, I'm just a little... willful."
Suddenly, Mo Tan looked at her with a more serious look. I appreciated it, because the girl did not apologize directly or make excuses, but frankly admitted that she had simply 'let her personality' go, and showed no signs of being ready to repent.
This means that the country girl knows her own value very well, and she also knows the value of Eva the housekeeper, so in this kind of private conversation, she does not put both parties on the same scale, Instead, I feel that I have this arbitrary right as a matter of course. And this does not mean that there is anything wrong with her loyalty to Mo Tan. In fact, Xiao Ai, whose life was saved by Mo Tan, is even higher than Cole in terms of loyalty. After all, even the latter himself I have to admit that Lorna Yuehui, who is still in the [Soul-inducing Bottle], is one of the driving forces behind Cole Shuren's desperate efforts.
“Oh, you have to throw away goods when comparing goods, and you have to die when comparing people with others.”
Mo Tan sighed deeply, drank all the coffee in the cup, and then put on a look of "bitter wine in the throat and heart aching", and said with great sadness: "If only that brat Cole could If you are half as good as you, I don’t even have to come back in person. It’s enough to leave this place to you two.”
“Ah! No…that’s not the case!”
After hearing this, Xiao Ai suddenly found it difficult to maintain the style of painting just now. He hurriedly waved his little hands and explained: "I...I think Cole is already very good! He is much smarter than me. He can learn things." He is also the fastest among our group except...Dave, the person who gave his soul to the evil god, he just...just..."
"Just what?"
Mo Tan did not follow Xiao Ai's words to excuse Cole. Although he knew the reason very well, he still continued to put pressure on the girl: "Tell me about it?"
Xiao Ai pursed her lips and was silent for a while before saying with a blushing face: "He is just easy to get into trouble, and he can't calm down because of Lorna's matter... I, I think if Cole can relax, he will definitely be better than I'm much more useful."
"So~"
Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "You are hinting to me that if you want Cole to change. If you want to be as useful as you, don’t waste time and hurry up and help resurrect that little girl named Lorna, right?”
When he said the last two words, Mo Tan’s tone suddenly turned cold. , a frightening fierce light flashed in his eyes, and a certain aura of madness and chaos spread quietly, causing the girl on the sofa opposite to subconsciously hug her shoulders.
"I...I didn't mean that...no...I just wanted Mr....well..."
After all, Xiao Ai is just a childish girl. Although she has real potential, potential is just potential after all, and it cannot directly transform her into a Futaba who can violently confront her husband, so this The child immediately became frightened after being so frightened, and said stammeringly: "But I definitely didn't...I didn't mean to rush you. I know it's very difficult to resurrect a person, so..."
"Pfft hahaha~"
As a result, Mo Tan suddenly smiled and waved his hand. The crazy aura that made the girl shudder instantly disappeared like an illusion. He winked and said with a playful smile: "Indeed, it is indeed for For most people, let alone a year, even if it takes ten years, they may not be able to get a clue about this kind of thing. But if it is you... you should know very well that the reason why I haven't come up with a solution now is entirely because You don’t take resurrecting that little girl too seriously, do you?”
Xiao Ai bit her lower lip lightly and said nothing.
"You know very well that if I want to rescue Lorna, even if I can't resurrect her so quickly, I won't make no progress at all like now."
Mo Tan grinned, stood up and walked to Xiao Ai, raising his hand and placing his hand on the latter's slightly shaking shoulder: "Although the serious damage to the body is indeed a bit troublesome, if I am willing, I can find a friend to take good care of her. "It's probably possible to ask Lorna to say a few words to you. After all, my friend who likes to deal with dead people is very good at psychics."
Hearing this, the girl immediately raised her head. Come and call softly: " Then why are you..."
"On the one hand, I have been busy recently. Although I met that person when I went to Academy City this time, we were busy with more important things, so we had no time to talk to you. The friend in the jar."
Mo Tan took away the hand on the girl's shoulder and rubbed the latter's hair: "On the other hand... do you think this is really good?"
“Hey!”
Xiao Ai's figure suddenly froze, and her slightly raised face gradually dropped together with her voice: "Sir, what do you mean..."
"You are a good girl, so You hope that your good friend, the kind, simple, pitiful, innocent, and wasted Luo Na Yuehui can return to being a human being and continue to enjoy her new life. Of course, there may also be a sweet love."
Mo Tan said with a smile, his tone was very provocative. : "Believe me, even if that lovely lady didn't have the slightest thought about Cole during her lifetime, , but as long as she knows what happened after her death and what Cole did for her, she will definitely fall in love with that boy. There is no other possibility. After all, our Cole’s character is there and his appearance is He's quite handsome, and his temperament has improved dramatically after being used by me for nearly a year. Gao, there is no reason to get a cold butt."
Xiao Ai smiled and nodded slightly: "I think so too, after all, Cole has done so much for Lorna, and they are very... ”
“But, my dear Xiao Ai, but~”
Mo Tan suddenly leaned down, raised the corner of his mouth and whispered in Xiao Ai's ear: "Even if you are an undoubted good girl, everyone has another side. For example, there is a certain person in your heart. There will be such a voice in the corner, praying day after day that the husband will not be so anxious to put the matter of resurrecting the child on the agenda, hoping that everything will not go so smoothly, and even...occasionally I think even if something goes wrong during the resurrection... it will be fine, right?"
"Sir!"
Xiao Ai looked up with a pale face, beautiful eyes. Overflowing with fear and grief, she lost her voice: "I didn't... I didn't think about it that way... I..."
The next moment, she suddenly buried her face in her hands and burst into tears.
But Mo Tan just looked at the girl who was crying out of breath, and finally even had some difficulty breathing. After a long time, she said softly: "I said, everyone has it. The other side.”
"Sir..."
"You can hear that voice, but you don't follow it. You even found the opportunity to urge me today. Isn't this enough for you to forgive yourself?"
"I..."
"You are great~"
