Is It Too Late For Me To Quit Now?
With Lan's nod of agreement, Light Nostrade naturally trusted him.
With a wave of his hand, he not only hired Squala but also took in all the dogs he raised.
Just when Squala felt that a surprise came too suddenly.
From now on, he can bring his dogs to work and see his girlfriend every day.
There is no better time in life than now.
He then realized that accidents often also come so suddenly.
"You're going to the Republic of Padokea?!"
While Squala was still dreaming of living under the same roof with his girlfriend, he was suddenly struck by a bolt from the blue.
"Well, the young lady is going there for two days."
Lan looked at Squala, who was standing there stiffly, and assigned him a task:
"At that time, the young lady and her maid will go, and the boss will also go to the higher-ups to report on his work."
"You are the only one left here to guard the place. Remember to bring your dogs with you, and do a good job guarding the house."
"Because when the boss brought me back, we killed a leader of a mafia family. We were not sure if they would come here for revenge, so…"
Lan said sincerely: "If that happens, you have to be careful."
Squala: "..."
Why do I feel like I joined at such a bad and dangerous time?!
Is it too late for me to quit now?
"By the way, in order for you to better protect the house and survive the revenge from the mafias that may come, I got something for you."
Lan threw a notebook at Squala, whose face was gradually turning pale and almost covered his dark skin.
The latter immediately stiffened and took it in a panic.
"It contains some basic knowledge and training techniques about Nen's ability. You should read it carefully and practice more."
Lan turned around and waved at him: "That's the best way to improve your strength as soon as possible."
"I don't want the little brother I worked so hard to recruit to be gone when we come back."
"Nen ability?"
Squala looked confused and bewildered.
But he vaguely understood what Lan meant.
"Is this the strange power I suddenly gained?"
Squala wanted to ask more questions, but Lan ignored him and walked away in the blink of an eye.
"Improve yourself..."
Squala looked at the notebook in his hand, looking like he wanted to cry but couldn't.
"What the hell is this?!"
Originally, he joined here just to raise a dog, meet his girlfriend, and then live a down-to-earth life.
As a result, he was caught up in the danger of the mafia's fight and revenge.
The string of death is always hanging over his head.
His life may be lost in the next second.
"How can this be possible?!"
When he thought of the consequence, Squala shuddered all over.
"I finally got to live under the same roof with these cute kids and Eliza; how can I ruin our beautiful life like this..."
Squala gritted his teeth, steeled himself, and opened the notebook in his hand.
On the other side, on the airship heading to the Republic of Padokea.
"Won't Dad go with us?"
Neon seemed a little disappointed that she didn't see her father going to the Battle Olympia with her.
"The boss is busy with work and can't come with us this time."
Lan explained.
In Meteor City, he killed Ken Porter, who was under the same Ritz Family as Light Nostrade.
They are all heads of mafia families; their deaths can't be in vain, and there must be an explanation.
Light Nostrade went to the Ritz Family to explain everything.
Strictly speaking, this is also to cover up for Lan's behavior.
However, the fact that there is one less strong enemy is a good thing for the Nostrade family.
"Don't worry, Lan, we will be fine this time!"
Light Nostrade has a generous and magnanimous face and is very particular about his righteous appearance:
"No matter what happens, I will be here!!"
These words were said quite beautifully, making people feel that he, as the boss, had to take responsibility for everything.
If an ordinary person is uninformed, he might be moved by Light Nostrade's words and work for him.
But Lan knew that before saying this, he went to Neon and asked her for a prophecy.
Although Lan didn't know the specific content, he saw Light Nostrade's smiling face.
He knows that this trip may be very smooth.
"Really, it's like this every time~"
Neon pouted again: "He said he would play and go shopping with me, but he turned around and left me behind for work..."
She spoke with a bit of loss and then looked up at Lan.
She found that the latter was concentrating on reading the book introduction about the Heavens Arena in his hand and ignored her completely.
Suddenly, she felt angry.
"Ahhhhh, I'm so sad!!"
She could only lean on her maid, Eliza, and complain.
Eliza stroked Neon's hair and comforted her softly.
Although she had just been hired and came to the side of this young lady.
But the fate between people is wonderful, and the relationship between the two people is very good.
However, while Eliza was comforting Neon, she couldn't help but worry about Squala.
She doesn't know how he is doing now.
Well, if Lan knew about this, he would definitely put her mind at ease.
With the threat of death hanging over his head, that kid will definitely study harder instead of just studying at a half-baked level like before.
