Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

Chapter 59 I was convinced

Thomas forced a smile throughout the journey, offering words of comfort and concern to the fellow travelers at each of the passes.

"Datalia, you have disappointed me greatly."

They also didn't forget to protest against someone.

"I've already said, please understand. My partner is second only to my younger siblings in my heart..."

He glanced at Qin Ye beside him out of the corner of his eye, and fearing that he might misunderstand, he added another sentence.

"It can even be said that they are almost at the same level, which is an undeniable fact."

The young master shrugged and apologized to Thomas.

"Besides, I'm just a lowly eleventh seat among the executives, but my partners are..."

The conversation abruptly ended.

The partner seems to be one of the twelfth seats?

That's fine.

Why have I always considered him to be in the top five?

Seeing that the other party had fallen silent, Thomas secretly glanced at Qin Ye behind him and recalled the conversation in the wooden tea room.

"Why should I take you to see the patriarch?"

He stood tall and proud, exuding an air of righteous indignation, as if he were someone to be killed or tortured at will.

"If you really hurt me..."

"You mean the ninjas from the final arc are just watching from outside, right?"

Qin Ye sat down on a chair at the bar, crossed his legs, and spoke in a very relaxed tone.

Why...?

“I told you long ago, although what I did made you hostile towards me, I don’t have much animosity towards you, believe me, Brother Thomas.”

Keep lying... If I can get you to go see the head of the family today, I'll eat milk tea and hot pot for three days straight.

"In your eyes, your patriarch is omnipotent, isn't he?"

"Ah, that's natural."

"But in this era of rampant eye-hunting orders, Ayato Kamisato is also someone being watched by the gods, right?"

Thomas frowned, and his struggle subsided.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Ye raised an eyebrow.

That's right, getting caught in the trap really fast, very satisfying.

Do you really think everyone in Inazuma is of one mind right now?

Thomas remained silent. As a local strongman, he was well aware of the recent situation and quietly closed his eyes.

"Perhaps there really is a loyal dog of the general, who would not complain even if it meant giving up the Eye of God or sacrificing his life, but is your patriarch really that kind of person?"

Qin Ye's voice lingered in Thomas's mind, like a demon whispering.

"Enough! The patriarch's loyalty to the general is as clear as day."

"Hehe, you're right."

Qin Ye chuckled.

"Perhaps he truly is loyal and can bear the consequences of handing over the Eye of God, but... he has a younger sister, doesn't he? Hmm..."

Qin Ye gasped, a troubled expression instantly appearing on his face, and turned to look at the young master.

"What are the side effects of having the Eye of God taken away?"

"Huh? Buddy, you're asking me? How would I know?"

When Dadalia heard that he had been suddenly called out, the force he was using to suppress Thomas loosened for a moment.

To his surprise, his partner ignored him completely and continued, "Let him go."

"what?"

Why is this again?

However, given his years of trust in Qin Ye, his actions were faster than his thoughts.

Thomas relieved the soreness in his arms and stood there thinking carefully.

In front of Kamisato Yashiki Gate

I'm sorry, Master! I've been persuaded by him!

After much thought, aside from the head of the family, there was practically no one who could match the man in front of them who was full of flowery words.

Most people will be completely fooled.

Lord Kyoto might be able to defeat him by half a move.

But I don't want to see that person at all.

With their destination in sight, Thomas pondered carefully. Standing at the front of the group, he decided to repeat his previous tactic and lead the way to deliver the message.

"D'Artagnan, please bring your brother Thomas back to the team."

"okay."

The young master walked up to the other person and put his arm around their shoulder, holding them tightly.

"Was your good brother tipping you off before you came?"

Upon hearing Qin Ye's words, he recalled the events, suddenly realized what had happened, and looked completely deceived.

"Oh! So that explains why you were in such a hurry! You were checking your statements! I didn't expect you to be more honest than you seem!"

Thomas, seeing that he had been exposed, did not panic, but just grinned foolishly.

"Haha... As you said, you listen to your partner, and I'm also serving the patriarch, aren't I? We're in the same boat."

"?"

hiss...

The angry expression vanished instantly.

That makes sense.

"Disgraceful, hopeless."

Qin Ye shook his head helplessly and stepped into the Shefeng Office.

Thomas looked around, a sliver of hope still clinging to him.

It's alright. I believe the final batch of members arrived before me, and they will definitely complete their mission!

Within the Guardian Forest...

"Ha ha..."

A petite raccoon girl is tumbling in the forest.

"Oh no, I'm too late..."

She sensed something was wrong while she was in the wooden tea room, and when Thomas was pushed out the door with a business-like smile on his face, she realized that she had to report to the head of the family.

"Why are there such strange lenses?"

It has no effect on the body and is not aggressive. Its only use is to restrict movement, so no matter what method you use, you can only sway in place.

"Little raccoon, why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be guarding the wooden tea room today?"

The female ninja appeared beside Hayato.

"I already said it's a raccoon dog, not a tabby cat..."

Then it occurred to me that now was not the time to dwell on it.

"Speaking of which, didn't you see Thomas and his men pass by here?"

"To be honest, the animals in the Guardian Forest suddenly became restless, and we've only just dealt with it..."

"animal?"

In the woods, a distant song softly drifted out.

The girl's small mouth was slightly open, and her beautiful voice touched the hearts of the animals.

Hehe~

A silvery laugh rang out.

Seeing that Qin Ye's arrangements had been completed, she hurried away with small, anxious steps.

His big show is coming up, and we can't miss it.

Chapter 60 A mere last seat, not worth mentioning.

A procession of important figures entered the courtyard of the Shefenggong.

Ayaka Kamisato was discussing matters to be handled with Hyakubei Madarame. Her brother was often away from the magistrate's office due to official duties, so she naturally took on some of the responsibilities.

But it's mostly about event planning, hosting, humanities and arts, and sacrificial rites—things that involve a lot of public exposure but rarely involve contact with the negotiating table.

Today, she went about her daily work as usual, and although her brother was busy with his affairs, he rarely stayed at home.

Speaking of which, he's been going home more and more often lately?

But for Ayaka, this is also a good thing.

However, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.

The man in the red scarf whom Thomas had previously brought to see his brother has returned, and he's now hugging his housekeeper's neck. It's an intimate gesture, but Thomas doesn't seem to be able to smile at all.
