standing up, Max felt a little tired.
Shaking off the tiredness, Max had a solemn expression on his face as he spoke.
"little Lu, listen to me carefully".
Lucy went silent and listened to Max obediently. Whenever she saw Max being serious, it means it was no time to play.
"you can't use your skill without my permission. Ask me first if you want to do anything. "
Lucy nodded obediently.
Max still felt unconvinced, so he kept explaining for a while longer, leaving Jamie waiting outside.
After Max judge that Lucy truly understood, Max held her in his arms and opened the door.
Jamie had a helpless look on his face. He has been waiting for a long time.
"What is it? Why are you so jumpy? Jamie, it's almost night".
"Sigh, big brother, I got some news. Let's talk somewhere else"
"just come inside."
The two sat in front of each other In Max's cabin.
"so what is it? ".
"first there are some new goodies assigned to me in the next station, if you're interested".
"oh, of course I am, but that could wait till the morning. "
"well, I am here about the other news. You see, there's two new passengers asking questions about that woman, ah what was her name.. Beatrice?. "
"Oh, tell me everything." Max's lazy expression disappeared as he listened carefully.
"so they asked all kinds of questions. I don't remember much, just common questions. But the guys themselves are interesting. You see, no matter how I look at them, they don't seem like good people. I thought it would be the police looking for her, but those guys are obviously outlaws, same as you, Max."
Max's mouth twitched a little. 'what do you mean an outlaw? I didn't even do anything wrong, at least not yet. '
Max suddenly remembered his days under boss Hu.
Other than killing, he did everything else.
'ahem, forget about it'.
Jamie seems embarrassed. He was too blunt just now without realizing.
"alright thanks a lot Jamie." Max transfers 1k credit to him,
Jamie smiled. Just like Max in the past, he is saving money for the talent serum. however, unlike Max buying it at the school price, he has to pay at least 100k for the worst kind with the lowest chance of success.

"alright I will go back to my room. Good night".
"see you tomorrow". Nodded Max, looking at Jamie's leaving back.
...…. Max jumped on the bed deep in thought. "Maybe I still have a chance".
Max didn't plan to check on the new passengers now. At this time, he would look suspicious.
He just fell asleep.
... On a nearby cabin, two individuals were engaged in a heated argument. One of them, a tall and muscular person with brown skin and long hair, expressed frustration. "This job is too big for us. Are they trying to get us killed?".
His partner, a scholarly-looking man with a starfish on his shoulder, gave him a stern look. "The significance of this task depends on our actions. Besides, the target is just an E-rank individual."
The frustrated burly man continued venting, "how useless can they be? Those fucking vampires, even their princess betrayed them. If she reports our cooperation with the vampires to the government, we'll be in trouble. Two weaklings like us shouldn't be burdened with such a job."
"shut up, what if someone hears you?".
The burly man just shrugged and pointed at his necklace. That's an E-rank concealment artifact. Their voices will not leave the cabin.
"sigh. You need to understand that the organization is also helpless in this situation. All S-rank powerhouses are being monitored by the government. If an S-rank were to rush all the way just to kill an E-rank vampire that snuck into human territory, it would raise suspicion and we might be stopped. Additionally, other members cannot be fully trusted. Only descendants of the organization's Higher Ups, like us, can be trusted to take care of this."
The burly man felt annoyed. He understood all of that, but still this kind of thing related to his life and everyone he knows put a lot of pressure on him.
Looking at the burly man's expression, the scholarly men comforted,
"Nicholas, look at it like this. If we succeed, then forget about the D-rank beast you've been asking for, even B-Rank isn't a problem".
"Sigh, whatever Julio you always been the smart one, I would just follow your plan".
