Chapter 506 Bargaining
"Assassination commission?"
Hearing Lin Yu's words, the head of Buye Tian family was very surprised and reacted immediately.
"No wonder you were able to obtain so much information about commissions from the outer city... Did you obtain it as a commissioned person?"
Lin Yu nodded calmly.
"Of course, I disguised myself as a mercenary and used some tricks to gain the basic trust of those guys from Gray Third Street."
The head of Buyetian family nodded, she believed that Lin Yu had this ability.
Even I was almost fooled. This kind of ability is not something that can be used casually to fool the lower-class people on the edge of the outer city.
"So... is this commission something you have to complete?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Of course, this is what I have to do as a 'player'."
Upon hearing this, the Buyetian Patriarch said thoughtfully, "I understand. Is the target you want to assassinate a prince or noble?"
"Yes."
Lin Yu answered directly again.
From the attitude of the Buyetian Patriarch, Lin Yu vaguely sensed...
The other party doesn't seem to object to this.
"It shouldn't be Nevernight Fire Music or Nevernight Fire Tree, otherwise you would have already taken action... Hmm, since this is Huo Xing's coming-of-age ceremony, I guess, although it was requested by your employer, it should be someone you don't see often."
"And since you've come to see me and chosen to confess so calmly... you're not from the Buyetian family, correct?"
Lin Yu was somewhat surprised to hear the analysis of the Buyetian Patriarch: "No wonder you like to hear about those experiences of solving cases... With your reasoning ability, you will probably be very successful as a detective."
No wonder the head of the Buyetian family is chosen by the God of Wisdom.
The head of the Buyetian family clapped his hands, making a crisp "pa pa" sound.
"Since he's not from the Buyetian family, you can kill him. But... you chose Huo Xing's birthday party after all. I still want to know who you want to kill."
"In exchange... I can provide some conveniences. And once I know the target, I might be able to help you figure out who the employer might be."
Having said that, the Buyetian Patriarch looked at Lin Yu, a sly look flashing across his eyes: "You probably haven't found out who your employer is, have you?"
Lin Yu curled his lips: "Of course, issuing a commission like this targeting a prince or noble, even if it is another prince or noble... he must hide himself well."
Without waiting for the head of Buye Tian family to speak, Lin Yu spoke again.
"However, I am very curious...why Your Excellency is willing to make this 'deal' with me, even without knowing who I want to kill, and is willing to make such a promise."
Even though the person he wanted to kill was not from the Buyetian family, although there was competition among the royal nobles, as people of the same class, and the top monopoly class, they should still have a tendency to "stand together against the outside world" when facing outsiders.
"Of course, it's for someone's sake."
The head of the Buyetian family said in a brisk tone.
Lin Yu was surprised: "Forboluo is so respected by you. I thought he was just a toy for your entertainment."
The head of the Buyetian family was speechless.
After a long moment, the little girl with fox eyes finally spoke slowly, "I am now completely convinced that you are indeed close to him. After all, only someone who is very close to A'Luo would treat him this way... and most likely, it can only be this way."
"Although A'Luo's duty is mostly to please me, he is still a legendary 'detective' who has solved many cases in the inner and outer cities. In essence, he is the 'deputy' I chose for the future head of the family... Moreover, I sometimes ask him to help with the sacrifices."
Lin Yu was curious: "Sacrifice? Forboluo also has this skill, how come I don't know it?"
The head of the Buyetian family waved his hand: "My master is the god of wisdom, so the sacrificial ceremony includes offerings and solving puzzles to demonstrate wisdom... He is quite good at this."
Lin Yu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, then he is indeed an expert in this field."
This city that never sleeps is simply the most suitable place for Fu Luo.
"He's so important. I really misjudged him..."
Lin Yu sighed, and the head of the Buyetian family smiled.
"But I didn't make a deal with you just for his sake."
Hearing the deep words of the Buyetian family master, Lin Yu suddenly felt helpless.
The owner of this house has a weird personality...
It has nothing to do with Fu Luo, why say so much?
Is it just to save face for Fu Luo?
"If it's not his face, who else could it be?"
Lin Yu asked curiously.
"Of course it's the god behind you," the Buyetian Patriarch said calmly, "As one of the gods, I can easily recognize those who are also favored by the gods..."
"Even if you're not a spokesperson for the gods now, you've probably already been predestined by a certain god... someone within the Ten Realms."
The Buyetian family head chuckled and said.
"So, I don't want to offend a god because of some idiot from some family...Now, because of you 'outsider', communication between the ten realms is becoming more and more frequent. The god behind you might be of a very high status."
"He provided you with such concealed spying and calculation methods. This can be said to be a huge investment, which is enough to show how much he values you. Therefore, instead of offending you, why not make friends with you?"
"And since this is a deal, even if the person you want to kill is still of some use to me... then I can bargain with you."
The head of the Buyetian family said seriously.
Lin Yu nodded.
Now that things have come to this, there is really no need for him to hide anything.
What's more, if he were to carry out an operation in the Buyetian family, it would be a good thing to get the support of the head of the family.
Even if he hides it from her now... this person is probably capable of knowing who his target is before he carries out the assassination.
"My target is Art Mercury?"
Upon hearing this name, the head of the Buye Tian family showed a look of surprise on his face.
"Oh, oh, it's that old... that old man!"
Her expression was sincere. "That's really not possible. Art Mercury is the bridge between my Buyetian family and the Mercury family, and a witness of friendship. Personally, he is also my beloved uncle and senior, who has helped me a lot in my career..."
Lin Yu looked at the head of the Buyetian family and stared at her for a long time: "I say, no matter who it is, you will start bargaining with me, right?"
"Although you are the chosen one of the God of Wisdom and are very skilled at countering deception, your deceptive skills are terrible—you almost said words like 'immortal' or 'old thing' just now."
The Buyetian Patriarch stuck out his tongue and said, "I was just trying, but you discovered me!"
"By the way, the title I was going to use wasn't that rude!"
The head of the Buyetian family waved his hand and said embarrassedly.
"Then what do you want to say?"
"Old B lamp."
"How is this not rude, may I ask?"
