What?! You want me to become the Herrscher of Finality?!

Chapter 108: Chapter 108



[Island Exploding Crow]: "Okay, let's take a day off."

Considering that Bai Mo might not be in a good mood these days, Raven decided to accompany her to relax.

[Bai Mo]: "Well, Jackal should have sent you my address. Remember to come early tomorrow and don't be late."

[Island Exploding Crow]: "Don't worry. If you are lazy tomorrow, I will definitely pull you out of bed."

[Bai Mo]: "Tsk, do you have to be so cruel?"

In the rain, Bai Mo couldn't help but shudder.

Being pulled out of bed while sleeping? You will not be able to do such thing!

[Island Exploding Crow]: "Whether it's cruel or not depends on whether you're lazy tomorrow morning. Forget it, I'm almost at my destination, so I won't talk about it for now."

[Bai Mo]: "Well, remember to rest early after delivering the things. Good night, Island Exploding Crow."

[Island Exploding Crow]: "You too, good night, rabbit."

This time, Raven surprisingly didn't complain about Bai Mo's address. Maybe she was really used to it, or maybe Raven simply thought that she liked to be called that as long as she was happy.

....

In the dark night, a car slowly drove down from the viaduct, then turned left, went straight, and turned right. After a series of turns, it finally entered a small road with less traffic.

On the small road, homeless people were lying on both sides, and the garbage beside them was piled up like a mountain. It seemed these people had been here for a long time. As we went deeper, the number of wanderers gradually decreased until they disappeared completely. Instead, some vendors in black clothes setting up stalls appeared in front of the road. It seemed this was the black market of Tianqiong City.

As the name suggests, the black market is well-known to those who know it.

Mermaids and fish are mixed together, and darkness is shrouded. Crime? It is common here, so this is more like a microcosm of all the dark corners of the city than a black market.

"Tsk."

Raising her head and glancing lightly, Raven withdrew his gaze with some disgust.

Moving forward.

"Wow!"

After passing a flooded area, the tires of the vehicle splashed water.

As the vehicle continued to drive, a dazzling light suddenly appeared ahead.

Raven, who had temporarily adjusted to the darkness, couldn't help but shield his eyes with his hand. This ray of light seemed like dawn in the darkness, illuminating the way forward and leaving no place for the darkness to hide.

When she arrived, everything around seemed so quiet—there were no vendors, no insects chirping, and the sound of the rain seemed faint.

Only a dark car and a black figure holding an umbrella in the rain were visible not far in front.

"Stop the car."

At Raven's command, the car stopped.

Recognizing the person, Raven opened the umbrella and slowly pushed open the door, stepping out.

"Tick...tick...tick."

Raindrops dripped on the umbrella, creating a series of sounds that were very soothing at first hearing.

"How are you, Cioara."

Before Raven got close, the man in black clothes and a white mask—no, it should be said that it was Gray Serpent—greeted her suddenly.

"...."

Raven did not respond. She just looked at Gray Serpent quietly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Why, are you showing me what silence is golden?"

Gray Serpent, noticing Raven's silence, asked doubtfully, with a hint of joking in his tone.

"No, I was just wondering which Gray Serpent you were."

She spread her hands and shook her head.

"So, did you guess it?"

"10426, if I remember correctly."

After some thought, Raven finally managed to recall that string of numbers.

As one of the many Gray Serpents, this string of numbers is also his code name.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to still remember me."

His tone was slightly surprised.

"No way. After all, your tone of voice is different from all the Gray Serpents I've met. It can be said that... it's quite special."

"By the way, this is from the Gray Serpent at headquarters. They asked me to give it to you."

Rubbing her eyebrows, Raven handed over the black briefcase in her hand.

"The one from headquarters? I hope it contains my favorite Hawaiian shirt."

Taking the briefcase from Raven, Gray Serpent looked at it carefully, his words particularly relaxed.

"Although I don't know what's in it, I don't think it can be a Hawaiian shirt."

"Really, don't be so quick to pour cold water on me. Let me keep some fantasy."

He smiled bitterly.

"Sorry, I'm just telling the truth."

Compared to Gray Serpent, Raven's tone remained very calm. She just couldn't handle this way of speaking.

After all, having a white rabbit at home is enough.

Bai Mo's figure unconsciously appeared in her mind, and Raven's mouth subconsciously showed a smile.

Just then, Gray Serpent's voice came again.

"Since you've delivered the stuff, do you want to go to a nearby tavern for a drink with me next? I remember the last time I had the wine you mixed."

About a year ago, Raven and this Gray Serpent went to the Far East on a mission, where Gray Serpent had the honor of drinking the wine Raven mixed.

So, until now, Gray Serpent still remembers the taste of that glass of wine.

"Wait for another chance. It's already late, and I need to find a place to stay."

Raven declined Gray Serpent's invitation.

After all, she has to accompany Bai Mo to relax tomorrow, so drinking is out of the question.

Low EQ: Not this time.

High EQ: Definitely next time.

"Well, that's really a pity."

Gray Serpent, who was rejected, shook his head regretfully.

At this time, the rain started getting heavier. Seeing this, Raven did not stay any longer but turned around and walked towards the car.

Gray Serpent just watched quietly without moving.

"Click, click."

Raven's high heels made a crisp sound against the ground.

Soon, Raven reached the car door.

However, at that moment, she seemed to remember something and did not rush to open the car door. Instead, she stopped and turned back to look at Gray Serpent.

"Are you free recently, or do you have time?"

She spoke slowly.

"Why... Did you change your mind and want to buy me a drink?"

Gray Serpent was a little confused.

"No, I just want to ask you to do me a favor."

"Oh, as a mercenary, do you also ask others to do things? Tell me."

Gray Serpent was obviously interested, as he was really free recently and didn't have any tasks.

"I want to ask you to go...."
