Clearly, things didn't go as Vodka had hoped.

Gin and the person with the black umbrella will not fight.

Instead, Gin spoke again, coldly introducing himself and his underlings to the man.

"Gin, vodka."

"Ah."

The man nodded indifferently. Before he arrived, the other person had already given him the code names of the two people he was meeting via text message.

It was these two people's code names that made him realize what kind of world he had entered.

"Lin Jiayou".

Lin Jiayou, that's his name in this world. As for his name in the previous world, to be honest, he had long forgotten it.

Gin's face remained cold as he heard the name, but he gave Lin Jiayou a deep look.

"Come in with me."

After Gin finished speaking, he led Vodka into the courtyard of the villa.

Vodka, who was following behind Gin, didn't dare to turn around. Although it was their first meeting, he was honestly a little intimidated by Lin Jiayou behind him.

This person is different from his older brother; he's like a machine.

Vodka secretly labeled Lin Jiayou as someone not to be trifled with.

Lin Chia-yu was unaware of this.

He continued to hold the umbrella, following behind Gin and Vodka with precise steps.

After a few steps, Gin stopped in front of the villa's gate.

He finally pulled his left hand out of his pocket, transferred a key from his left hand to his right, inserted the key into the lock with his right hand, and opened the villa door with a slight twist, then stepped inside first.

Seeing this, Lin Jiayou also took his right hand out of his pocket, and then pressed the switch on the umbrella with his left hand, and the umbrella closed up in a flash.

He casually placed it at the entrance of the villa, and then followed Gin into the villa.

Vodka was the last to go in. Before he went in, he took a special look at Lin Jiayou's umbrella. The doubt in his eyes seemed to still be lingering. Why did Lin Jiayou need to use an umbrella on a sunny day?

Lin Jiayou, who had already entered the room, seemed to notice Vodka's confusion. He turned his head slightly, glanced at Vodka without any emotion, and said indifferently,

"It's normal for people who live in darkness to dislike sunlight."

"Yes, that's true."

Vodka felt embarrassed that his thoughts had been seen through, and coupled with a slight fear of Lin Jiayou, he didn't dare to look Lin Jiayou in the eye and silently lowered his head.

Actually, Vodka was overthinking it. Lin Jiayou didn't know how to make eye contact with him either, since he was always wearing sunglasses. Who knew what his eyes looked like underneath?

"Humph!"

Gin, who was walking ahead, frowned upon hearing Lin Jiayou's words behind him, and gave a slightly forceful snort.

He liked Lin Jiayou's words, but he was very dissatisfied with Lin Jiayou's attitude towards his younger brother.

However, since the other party was a talent personally selected by that gentleman, he couldn't make a move directly for the time being.

Thinking this, Gin walked to the sofa in the villa first, sat down, and then swept his usual cold eyes over Lin Jiayou and Vodka, saying coldly,

"sit......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Jiayou had already sat down opposite him, looking completely at ease.

The other person's natural expression made it seem as if they were meant to be sitting there.

This made Gin somewhat uncomfortable; it had been many years since anyone from the organization had acted so naturally in front of him.

Vodka glanced at Lin Jiayou, who had already sat down, and then stole a look at his older brother's expression, feeling that his brother's face had become even more gloomy.

Seemingly sensing that Vodka was spying on him, Gin gave him a cold glance and said in a chilling voice,

"Vodka, you sit down too."

"Ah, yes, big brother!"

Vodka nodded emphatically and responded repeatedly.

He found a seat and sat down, but he didn't dare to get too close to Lin Jiayou, so he sat on the sofa next to Gin.

Looking at his underling's behavior, Gin sighed with a sense of disappointment, but he also knew that now was not the time to talk about it.

Gin slightly raised his head, his expression somewhat cold, and looked at Lin Jiayou arrogantly, saying,

"From today onwards, you're officially a member of the organization. What would you like to know?"

"How is my compensation?"

Without hesitation, Lin Jiayou uttered the words in a flat tone on his expressionless face.

His actions drew a jeer from Gin.

"Heh, as expected of bounty hunters, this is in line with your usual style."

"Take the money, get the job done."

Lin Jiayou uttered two words calmly.

This has been his life motto for two lifetimes: it is only natural and reasonable for him to do things for money.

"hehe,"

Gin let out another cold laugh, but the sarcasm on his face was less pronounced.

Pure opportunists are the easiest for organizations to control; they're much better than those ungrateful wretches who can't be tamed.

Gin looked at Lin Jiayou, whose face was calm, and spoke in a somewhat stiff and cold tone.

"Our organization has always provided very good benefits."

"Regarding accommodation, this detached villa you see here is yours alone. It's your private space, and the organization won't interfere."

As he spoke, Gin took a bunch of keys out of his pocket and threw them onto the coffee table between the two of them.

Meanwhile, he was also silently observing Lin Jiayou's expression.

As he expected, the other party remained calm and composed, completely unmoved, as if a villa worth billions of yen was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.

Gin greatly appreciated this and nodded to himself. The organization needed this kind of core member who valued benefits but wouldn't be tempted by petty gains.

Thinking of this, Gin then took out a set of car keys and threw them in front of Lin Jiayou.

"This is the car the organization assigned to you, a Lexus LX, parked in the villa's garage."

"The cars are provided by the organization, so they're pretty basic. Once you get your salary, you can get a better one yourself."

"Um,"

Lin Jiayou nodded calmly.

'This guy really isn't interested in cars,'

Gin silently drew a conclusion in his mind.

However, even a house worth billions of dollars couldn't sway Lin Jiayou, so it wasn't surprising that Gin was unmoved by a mere car.

"Tell me about your salary."

Lin Jiayou casually posed a question.

Gin listened to Lin Jiayou's question, then took out a bank card from his pocket and, as before, tossed it in front of Lin Jiayou.

"The hourly wage is 15,000 yuan, calculated on a 12-hour day basis. There is extra income for each task. The salary will be deposited into this card on the 8th of each month."

(PS: I was originally wondering which side the protagonist's stance should lean towards, but then I played the gacha machine a while ago and got the only black character, Qin Ye, out of more than a dozen characters, so I might as well let the protagonist stand on the black side!)
