I rely on myself

Chapter 189 The Promised Son Appears Again

After hearing the other party's words, Lin Yuan became somewhat alert.

After all, although Lin Yuan did not spend too much effort in disguising this puppet body, the other party saw through his true face just after they met. Such sharp eyesight cannot help but make people alert, or he may have other means.

No matter what the situation is, it means that the other party is no ordinary person. Lin Yuan thought vigilantly in his heart, but at the same time, he said it as if there was no problem at all.

"This body was originally used by me to carry out commissions. If there is any offense, please forgive me... Let's get back to the point. What do you want me to do? Why would you choose a nameless mercenary like me?"

After Lin Yuan dealt with the other party's difficulties with an insincere apology, he went straight to the point and asked what the commission was, and at the same time began to inquire about the other party's background.

After hearing this, the young man on the monitor smiled and said, "Oh my, it seems that you are more concerned about why I came to you than the commission. But that's right, it's normal to be worried about it so suddenly without any reason."

While the young man on the monitor was speaking, he did not forget to make an expression of approval. Of course, his face above the chin was still in darkness and could not be seen clearly.

Lin Yuan looked at the other party's pretentious appearance and did not answer, but just looked at him quietly. The young man seemed to realize that his behavior did not receive a response from the other party, so he could only sit down again helplessly.

"Really? It's not good to be so rigid. You need to cooperate with others more to be more popular, Mr. Lin Yuan!"

The sudden appearance of the name made Lin Yuan stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that his real identity was known by the other party, and this specific commission was indeed directed at him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan became more alert, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "You call me by this name, what is your purpose?"

Seeing Lin Yuan not panicking but looking calm after being called out by him about his true identity, the young man asked. Instead of feeling disappointed, the smile on his face became even happier.

This undoubtedly made Lin Yuan more alert, and the young man said, "Oh my, you are worthy of being Mr. Lin Yuan. It doesn't matter if I call out your true identity. You are really amazing. As for my purpose, I don't have any purpose. It's just like what I said before. I just have a commission to give it to you."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's first reaction was disbelief. However, now the other party really looked like he wanted to entrust him with a task. Lin Yuan was a little unsure about the situation for a moment and just waited and saw how it went.

"Okay, what is your commission?" Lin Yuan put on a work attitude.

When the young man heard Lin Yuan asking about the content of the commission, the smile on his face became more intense, which made Lin Yuan feel that he was being plotted against even more clearly.

"The commission is very simple. I just want you, Mr. Lin Yuan, to go to a place and investigate the situation there. It is an illegal smuggling dock, so please rest assured that the other party is not a good person, and you don't need to worry about hurting ordinary people. How about it, do you want to accept it?"

After hearing such vague information, Lin Yuan certainly would not be foolish enough to agree to it. When he was about to refuse, the other party seemed to see this and directly changed the picture displayed on the monitor. At the same time, the young man spoke.

"Oh, oh, I forgot to mention that this is the footage I collected using some means. It shows the condition of some of the goods. Please take a look."

Lin Yuan was stunned when he looked at the screen on the monitor. Although he could not see the expression directly because the puppet had no expression, he could tell how surprised he was just by looking at his stiff movements. The content of the screen was very simple, with a dozen children lying in a sealed room without any other items. These children had one thing in common, that is, their hair was pearly in color under the light. These were undoubtedly the artificial children of the covenant that Lin Yuan had saved in the God's Workshop a week ago.

Lin Yuan clearly remembered that they should have been taken in by the 'Gray Cross', a unit of the Magicians Association. This situation should not have happened. Lin Yuan's first reaction was that something might have gone wrong with the Magicians Association, and that they were continuing to use these children as material for human experiments like Bronson did.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's anger couldn't help but rise, but he still managed to remain calm. After all, the current situation was still unclear and he couldn't act rashly. The most important thing now was to find out the location of these children from the so-called client in front of him.

Lin Yuan stared at the screen on the monitor, trying hard to suppress the anger in his tone and asked as calmly as possible.

"When was this picture taken? And where was it taken?"

Although the young man's image could not be seen, his joyful voice could still be heard from the monitor: "Oh, Mr. Lin Yuan, are you agreeing to take on this commission? That's great. As for when this image was taken, this is the current image. As for the location, it's at xxxxxx. So, Mr. Lin Yuan, do you have any questions?"

After hearing that the current footage was a live broadcast and knowing where these children were, Lin Yuan did not answer, but turned around and prepared to leave. Seeing this scene, the young man was not angry, but became even happier, and kindly reminded them.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, you must be careful when you act. After all, if you are not careful, you may offend the Magician Association, which has been passed down for many years."

Hearing this kind reminder from behind, Lin Yuan left the warehouse without any hesitation.

At this time, on the other side of the monitor, the young man looked at this scene with an expectant smile from the bottom of his heart, muttering to himself: "Let me see, what are you going to do, Lin Yuan..."

After walking out of the warehouse, Lin Yuan started running towards the direction of the place the boy mentioned without any hesitation. At the same time, he started to contact Virginie and the communication was soon established.

"Virginie, are you there?"

"Yes, Master Lin Yuan, what can I do for you?"

"Please prepare the following things for me... and send them to this address, please."

"Okay, no problem, Master Lin Yuan, but what are these..."

Before Virginie could finish her question, Lin Yuan interrupted her and said, "I don't have time to explain now. I'll explain it to you in detail after we meet up. That's all."

After saying that, Lin Yuan hung up the call. He quickened his pace and muttered to himself, "This is terrible."
