Chapter 866: Zero Failure. Increasingly Enigmatic
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Principal Zhang’s serious statement that was filled with reverence for Pete made Yun Jian narrow her eyes. It put her on a two-second freeze.
It came unexpectedly that Pete had stolen so many historical relics and made so much money only to donate them away! Then, realization struck Yun Jian why the man was always so hard-pressed; from what she knew, Pete accepted any type and level of mission.
According to the man’s capability, there was no way he was so poor to accept even the lowest level of robbery mission. When Yun Jian saw him in the past, he was poor as a pauper each time.
Yun Jian had been doubtful. Pete was the Grand Thief. Where did he spend all the money he earned throughout the years? And how could he expend all of it so fast? There was basically no difference between him and a poor man.
Yun Jian finally knew why now.
“Pretty good.” Yun Jian smiled and flashed her pearly whites at Pete. “We’re already old-time friends. Let’s walk around together?”
Pete froze for an instant. Had his eyes fooled him? Why else was he seeing a friendly gaze from Yun Jian?
“O-okay.” For some reason, Pete agreed to Yun Jian’s suggestion.
However, he regretted it right after words left his mouth. He really did have an immense fear toward Yun Jian. The previous times he had met Yun Jian, the girl had kicked his ass each time; the last time they met, she had even snatched the antique he risked his life for!
“Xiao Jian, Zhe, and I will leave for the competition now.” The competition was still going on. Looking at Yun Jian, Yun Yi did not know how she got to know Pete but the latter did not seem like a bad guy, so he made his way to the competition area with Xu Haozhe without worrying.
Shan Zihao and others were baffled while Yun Jian began to chat with Pete. Xu Zetian and Lin Wanru had gone along to watch Xu Haozhe compete. After several of them left, Ning Lanlan, Xiao Zhiming, and Shan Zihao were the only ones left. Principal Zhang had left to attend to other matters too.
Since Ning Lanlan and Xiao Zhiming had met in a coincidence and it had been difficult for them to meet otherwise, they were currently chatting happily. Hence, Shan Zihao was the only one left standing around to listen to Yun Jian and Pete talk. The guy had been interested in Yun Jian, so he was slightly disgruntled when he saw both of them engaged in a friendly manner.
Nevertheless, Shan Zihao was thoroughly ignored for the time being. All he could do was listen from the side as he stood roguishly but refused to leave.
As Yun Jian and Pete chatted, they realized that the other party was actually a decent person. Pete, especially, felt his fear for Yun Jian diminishing as he talked to her.
“Ay, liege lord, your home’s actually in Longmen City?” Pete was completely unaware that he had yet to find out Yun Jian’s name and was still referring to her as his liege lord.
“My name’s Yun Jian. Call me liege lord again and I’ll continue seizing what you have,” Yun Jian smiled and said as if threatening Pete.
“No sh*t, liege lord, you—no, Yun Jian, ma’am, stop snatching what I have. If it weren’t for you, I’m still the business record holder for having zero failures! Who knows if someone will give me a huge award for that one day!” Pete posed narcissistically as he retorted.
Both of them fell into an easygoing conversation as they chatted while Shan Zihao had no idea what was going on. He could not even understand what Yun Jian and Pete were saying. Seize what? What did he mean by business record holder for having zero failure?
Why did Shan Zihao think that Yun Jian was getting more enigmatic?
