"remuneration?"

Xuan Li raised his eyebrows and then looked at Ailian, who was slightly stunned and looked at him warily.

"Miss Ailian, can you give me some candy?"

Xuan Li didn't pay attention to Ailian's gaze and just stretched out his hand.

Asking for a candy is not too much, right?

Ailian was stunned again when she heard this, then her tongue moved slightly, and a hint of sweetness came to her. This guy wants to eat candy?

Strange request, but not difficult to meet.

But it seems that the only thing left is this one in my mouth...

She frowned and looked at Xuan Li, then pinched the handle of the lollipop with her fingers and took the candy out of her mouth.

"I'm out of candy, this is the only one left."

The investigation had consumed so much energy that the candy was almost not enough. However, Ai Lian looked at Xuan Li who didn't say a word, her eyes flashed, and she quickly put the candy back into her mouth.

She just wanted to make it clear that she really had no more candy, and didn't want to give him the one she had eaten.

But—this guy is hesitating!

He is hesitating!!!

Ai Lian subconsciously took two steps back and distanced herself from Xuan Li. This guy was obviously quite good-looking, but why was he such a...

She didn't know that what Xuan Li was thinking at the moment was completely different from what she had guessed.

Xuan Li regained his composure, looked up at Lekaan, and said

"Please make yourselves at ease. I still have some unfinished business, so I won't be wasting any time. I was hoping to get to know you guys..."

"Goodbye, little Colleen."

Xuan Li waved his hand, and his eyes finally fell on Kelin, which made her feel a little flattered for a moment, and she nodded and said goodbye quickly.

"Goodbye, sir!"

Ailian blinked in surprise. She didn't expect things to be so easy. This person actually left like that?

On the side, Lina showed a relieved expression. This was the best outcome.

"Everyone, this time we owe him a favor. Even though he doesn't seem to care, we can't help but take it to heart."

"Next time, I'll have to find a chance to repay you."

Lekaan wasted no time and spoke as he led a few people towards the trembling, frightened defense forces not far away who looked like they had suffered great devastation.

This choice was both a gesture of courtesy and a way to minimize Victorian domestic involvement.

After all, it is best for Victoria Housekeeping if it is clearly calculated.

There is interaction but it is not deep, and the relationship is clear. This is a means of maintaining customers and is also the most appropriate way for Victoria Housekeeping to treat people it does not know.

Of course, the private relationships between the household members and each other are not something he should care about.

"Kelin, since you have a relationship with the other party, can you reveal some information to us?"

"This way, it will be easier to repay the favor in the future."

"Of course, if it's inappropriate, just pretend I never said it."

Considering Kelin's personality, Lekaan added.

Kelin held the chainsaw and thought for a while. She felt that there was nothing to hide, so she looked at Lekaan and told him what had happened.

"It seems that the gentleman has not introduced himself to Kelin, but Kelin has heard others call him that. The gentleman's name should be Xuanli."

"Xuan Li? I see."

Lekaan nodded, and Ailian beside him couldn't help but frown again. Xuanli? Why does it sound so similar to "I like you"?

This guy looks frivolous, his thoughts aren't serious, and why is his name so frivolous too...

Just as Lekaan and his team began to "interrogate" the remaining rebels, Xuan Li had already returned to the Baiji Heavy Industry team, and the ether crystal wall dissipated as he approached.

"Xuan Li, have you dealt with all the enemies? Hey? Who are those people?"

Nicole was the first to stand up and looked at Victoria Housekeeping in the distance with curiosity. Xuan Li did not answer her question. He stood in front of everyone and said calmly:

"The current situation at the Dead End Hollow is special. I'm sure you've all noticed it... and now, I have some news."

Xuan Li's eyes were calm and emotionless. Seeing this, Nicole immediately became serious. She knew that Xuan Li was talking about something serious.

"Something happened in the Hollow. Some people are carrying out some plans. Of course, this is not important to you, but there is one thing that requires your help."

"Some innocent people have been implicated. I need a few people to come with me to rescue them. The more the better. No pressure, just volunteers."

Xuan Li glanced at everyone and spoke softly. Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

"As the president of Baiji Heavy Industries, I..."

Keleida stood up and was about to say something when she was interrupted by Xuanli. He said

"Forget about the little one, but your condition is obviously worse now. You will only be a hindrance if you stay with me."

Xuan Li's words were very impolite. Hearing this, Keleda wanted to refute him, but she knew that now was not the time to show off, so she had to shut up.

"Xuan Li, I want to know what will happen to those innocent people if no one helps..."

Billy took a step forward and asked Xuan Li. After hearing this, Xuan Li also said calmly:

"I have to warn you, the danger may increase significantly after the dead end is hollowed out. Things may become very troublesome, and I cannot guarantee your safety."

"It's all up to you to decide."

He did not directly answer Billy's question, but the answer was self-evident. Faced with the greatly increased danger of the void, those innocent people would most likely die.

"Okay, now is the time for the Star Knight to take action!"

Billy stood up without hesitation, and Keleida beside him also spoke

"Xuan Li, do we need to report this to the Public Security Bureau after we leave the dead end cave? This kind of thing should require official intervention, right?"

Since she couldn't help directly, she could only try her best to assist in other ways. In her opinion, this seemingly serious matter definitely required official intervention.

"unnecessary."

"And all the evidence that could prove their crimes has been destroyed by me personally."

When Xuan Li's words fell into her ears, Keleda was stunned for a moment.

He was going to help those people... No, this idea was ridiculous. If that was the case, then he was planning to...

“Those things they did… hehe, please ask my master to investigate, they are not worthy.

"Even if it goes to trial, you'll still have to deal with a whole bunch of people. It's a mess and really troublesome..."

Xuan Li seemed to have thought of something. Although his tone was still calm, it was chilling to the bone.

His words fell softly.

"I will judge them myself, using my own methods, letting the flames of karma... sweep over everything."
