"I'm much better than those two little guys behind you, right?"

Hearing this, Ying looked indifferent and just closed the door.

But Mei's anger was hard to conceal.

Of course, she was not angered by Himiko's frivolous words, but:

"Yue, this guy is very slick and dishonest."

"If I want to get information from her about the person who killed my father, I may need Miss Sakura's help."

Seeing this, Himiko chuckled:

"So it's you, Miss Mei."

"The pink-haired lady was right—"

"I am indeed lucky not to have been sent to your house to do the finishing work."

"Otherwise, you would be trembling with fear now."

Holding Mei's little hand, Ming Yue naturally knew that this cunning criminal was trying to extract useful information from Mei's mouth.

Therefore, he turned the tables:

"Captain Himiko, your information is no longer considered part of the transaction."

"The relevant information about the locust troop has also lost its value."

"Perhaps the only meaningful commodity is the new minister mentioned in your address book."

29 New Transactions

Looking at the watch that Ming Yue picked up with his fingers, Himiko's expression suddenly became subtle.

She subconsciously wanted to fold her hands, but the thick rope that bound her with moderate strength immediately sobered her up:

He is no longer a free man, but a prisoner with an uncertain future.

With her eyes slightly closed, Himiko's words revealed an indifferent attitude towards life and death:

"Again."

"If you want me to betray the Fire Moth, you have to make an offer that I can't refuse."

"Otherwise, who knows if you will just turn your back on me."

From her series of behaviors, Ming Yue has realized that this guy is an out-and-out realist.

However, this made him feel relieved.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect. As long as his bottom line is not touched, there is room for negotiation.

As for Himiko's mission to assassinate Mei, Mingyue would not vent his anger on a butcher knife controlled by someone else.

Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. As the ruler of Dusk Town, it is equally important to distinguish right from wrong and to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments.

Of course, if Himiko refused to cooperate right from the start, he would not tolerate her either.

"Everyone knows I won't make promises I can't keep."

"Himiko, I can give you a chance to decide the terms yourself."

"But you'd better understand—you only have this one chance."

After saying that, Ming Yue sat on the chair that Ying brought over, his expression calm, with no sign of joy or anger at all.

Compared with his calm and confident attitude, Himiko fell silent.

She understood that her next choice would be a turning point that would determine her future.

If the conditions stated are too high or too low, it will cause problems in the negotiations.

The former will prevent her from seeing a new sunrise, while the latter will make her sign an unequal treaty similar to a contract of selling her body.

After a moment, under the gaze of the three people opposite, Himiko finished her thoughts and gave her own offer:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"I can serve you, but you can't ask me to kill my former employer."

"That's my only condition."

After finishing speaking, Bimi said no more words.

She knew very well that no matter how good the words were, if they could not be realized they would be just castles in the air.

She also understood that a prisoner who betrayed his employer would have a very bad reputation.

If she were to kill her old master with her own hands, even if the new minister was no longer a good-for-nothing, her reputation would be completely ruined after killing him, and there would be no difference between being alive and being dead.

In Himiko's view, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness are the qualities that people should always possess in life.

This is her bottom line.

Seeing this, Ming Yue stood up and personally helped Himiko remove the restraints left by Sakura.

After demonstrating his attitude through his actions, he returned the watch to Himiko:

"Welcome to Twilight Town. I'm the local mayor, Ming Yue."

"Please remember - if you want to leave in the future, please tell me openly."

"Rather than agreeing to the loss of a talented person, I can't accept someone leaving without a word."

With a smile, Himiko promised:

"Don't worry, if things really get to the point where they can't be helped, I will definitely let you know."

"If conditions permit, who would choose to become a traitor out of boredom?"

After saying that, in front of several people, Himiko sold all the information about the new minister without reservation.

When Mei heard that the order to kill her father was issued by the minister himself, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.

After Himiko revealed the gossip that the parachuted-in Ghost-faced Minister came from Sky City, Mingyue and Ying looked at each other and could almost conclude:

The opponent this time is still the same person.

Only a minister with a violent temper would like to wear a mask and take such cruel measures.

Even from the political event of the other party being transferred to Changkong City, Ming Yue inferred that this old man must have been stabbed in the back by his colleagues because he had failed to perform his duties well before.

Otherwise, why would someone be transferred out for no reason?

Compared with Tianqiong City, Changkong City is not only much smaller in size, but also has much less say.

If it were him, Ming Yue would definitely not run from a city with version T0 to a place with population T1 for no reason.

After a while, when the conversation was over, Ming Yue took a few people back to his residence.

Speaking of which, because Dusk Town was a makeshift team built from scratch in his hands, the mayor's exclusive office building was actually next to his residence.

Mingyue's house is right next to the sanatorium and looks unremarkable.

Compared to the clearly defined class divisions in Sky City, Dusk Town is now a mixed bag, and no one knows whether their neighbor might be a big shot.

Soon, when Ming Yue and a few others knocked on the door, the sleepy-eyed Padu and Alicia immediately opened the door to greet them:

"Welcome home, Ayue~?"

"Boss, are all the troubles solved?"

But then, after looking at the few more women behind Ming Yue, Alicia's expression became strange.

The one with pink hair is Sakura, whom Alicia knows. She and her sister live downstairs, so they can be considered neighbors.

The girl with long straight black hair was Mei. Alicia knew that she had just lost her father and was a poor person who had recently moved into the house.

But who is this red-haired woman?

It can't be that these are kittens and puppies that A Yue picked up from the roadside, right?

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ying said goodbye to the two and immediately returned to her home.

And Paddo pulled Mei and hid in the living room to eat melon.

Even Himiko felt a little embarrassed because of her current identity.

She never expected that the man in front of her was so extravagant. He had a girlfriend but still dared to bring her home without restraint.

Has he always been so brave?

Or is it that the beautiful fairy-like girl opposite is too indulgent?

For a moment, standing between Himiko and Alicia, Ming Yue seemed to be caught in a war without gunpowder.

However, for him, things like Shura Field definitely do not exist.

Mingyue knows his network of relationships very well:

Aponia is a close neighbor, and they are bound together because of the sanatorium.

Ying is a loyal guard, and is inseparable from him because of Ling.

As for Paddo, she was a stray cat he adopted and was gradually becoming a domestic cat.

Mei placed all his hopes on him, and could be described as a gambler waiting for a comeback.

And there's Weiwei, the guy who's still serving his sentence and lives upstairs.

Not to mention Himiko, she was just an employee who had just switched jobs and hadn't even completed the formalities.

Only Alicia is the other half that truly loves me.

As the others secretly watched, Ming Yue rubbed his girlfriend's cheek:

"Ellie, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Will you be able to get up tomorrow?"

Rubbing his nose against hers, Alicia pretended to be angry:

"Well, Ayue, you're actually turning the tables!"

"I was waiting for you to come back~"

"You know I can't sleep without you, right?"

Holding her in his arms, Ming Yue walked into the living room.

After asking the eavesdropping Padu to take Himiko to the spare room on the second floor, he took Alicia with him into the bathroom.

In order to punish his naughty girlfriend, Ming Yue tried hard to make Alicia confess.

This indirectly caused everyone else in the room to be unable to sleep.

Finally, when the incompetent and playful Ellie was like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, he ended the bath.

After wrapping themselves in towels and returning to the bedroom, Mingyue and Ailishiya finally had a moment of peace.

Drawing circles on her boyfriend's chest with her fingers, Ellie's little emotions completely disappeared, leaving only satisfaction.

She actually knows everything, but chooses to accept everything about the other person.

She also understood that the other party did all this for her own sake.

With a charming smile, Alysia came close to Ming Yue:

"Ayue, what should I do? I want it again~"

Holding her in his arms, Mingyue was used to it:

"Then don't even think about going out to play tomorrow."

After another burst of wailing sounds from the bed, the two finally calmed down.

Before going to bed, Ming Yue looked at the high moon outside the window and slowly said to his girlfriend:

"They've crossed the line."

"This time, I won't listen to you and continue to choose to tolerate you."

"Whoever dares to disturb our paradise will have to pay the price."

Don't worry, the author won't take a break during Qingming Festival (probably)
