Endless Debt.

Chapter 83 Retirement Life

Opals, Landerling, Quay.

The lights were turned off in the office, and in the vague darkness, David sat in a recliner with his feet resting on the desk.

"Hmmmm~"

David hummed a song, he liked the feeling of being in the dark, like a poisonous snake hiding in a dense forest, which brought David a lot of sense of security.

In the shadows, he looked comfortable.

Turning his head and looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sky has entered the night, but the lights outside the windows are still brightly lit, and the buildings are shining with light, reflecting the river along the way brilliantly.

There was a knock on the door, and the office door was pushed open. A bald-headed man stood at the door, holding a flashlight in his hand, illuminating David in the office.

"Too bright, too bright, Bill."

The moment he was illuminated by the light, David shouted impatiently.

Bill has long been used to this, and after confirming David with the flashlight, he extinguished the light, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

"Boss, you're like a dark mouse," Bill said.

They could obviously turn on the lighting of the factory, but because of David's eccentricity, they could only use flashlights for lighting. Light beams flickered in the dark factory, and countless figures patrolled in the dim light, ringing along with the sound of footsteps. And greedy gasps.

A large amount of philosopher's stone and liquid spirit potion are stored in each sealed box. The demons suppressed their inner greed, swallowed their saliva, and restrained themselves.

From time to time, they turned their eyes to the top of the factory, peeping at the huge glass window, and after that was David's office. Recalling the cruelty under David's harmonious smile, everyone restrained their thoughts that they shouldn't have.

"Be careful I deduct money from you, Bill, I just... like the dark."

Under the vague outline, David's voice sounded.

"And the darkness helps me take control of it all."

David added, and then Bill saw it, the light hovering in David's eyes, he was like a revived ghost.

I could clearly feel that there was something wriggling in the darkness, it was peeping at Bill, walking briskly, and soon disappeared.

Bill raised his eyebrows. He was used to David's eccentricities, but it was still difficult for him to accept the coldness, like an invisible poisonous snake with sharp snake eyes staring at your throat.

"Today is the day for Codningen to perform?" Bill asked.

"Hmm, he even invited me to take a look, but someone has to look at the goods here."

"Then he should be dying too? Will this be his last performance?"

Bill asked again, he still remembered the uninvited guest that day, the man called the "ghoul". Although he didn't know what he and David talked about, after that conversation, David chatted with Bill About giving up Kodnin.

"Probably, Kedening is about to die anyway. It depends on when the king's secret swords throw out all his information, and then the Bureau of Order will bite him into pieces like a pack of wolves smelling blood."

David sighed, looking sorry for Kodening.

"Poor Kedening... But if you think about it better, we will be much safer, and we will lose our personal money."

After being sad for a few seconds, a smile appeared in David's voice again.

"Sounds so cold-blooded."

"I just made the division clearer. Private life belongs to private life, and work belongs to work."

David waved his hand and compared his movements, but Bill couldn't see his movements clearly in the darkness.

"But to be honest, I do feel a little sad when I think that Kedening is going to die." David said sincerely.

Bill moved a chair from the darkness and sat down, listening to David's words.

"Kedning and I are college classmates. This guy has been fond of acting since then, and he is extremely talented... His acting skills are amazing, and he often deceives the teachers. We once skipped class for half a semester. I thought we Will be expelled from school, but was fooled by Ke Dening.

He told the teacher that the two of us came from poor backgrounds, and we were running around for tuition and life. Because we were too tired from part-time jobs, we were often late and missed a lot of classes, but we did not waste our studies because of this. We knew what the teacher taught us.

Then the teacher gave Kedening some questions, and the guy answered all of them. What's more, he really moved the teachers. Later, we even got some bursaries. "

David chatted about the past, full of admiration for Ke Dunning.

"That's when I realized that each of these performers is a consummate liar, just like every writer is adept at lying."

The past years were beautiful and golden, and for David, it was a good time.

"By the way, how did you and Kedening get into this business?"

Bill curiously said that he was a mercenary hired by David. Whenever he saw David and Kedening, Bill felt unknown and weird.

"Boss, it's quite easy for you to understand. Everyone is the same. Becoming a mercenary is just to make money, but what about Ke Dening? This guy doesn't seem to be doing it for money at all. If it's for his performance, he should get out as soon as possible."

Although Kedening couldn't get out, Bill whispered in his heart.

"Well, you may not believe it, but I was brought into the business by Ke Dening."

After talking about this, David laughed helplessly.

"Kordening's reason is more personal. I can't answer it. Although he is about to die, he is more or less my friend. Right, Bill. As for my reason, as you said, it's just for making money .”

Surprisingly, at this time, David still cares about keeping a little secret, which makes Bill feel weird.

For this boss, Bill has always been somewhat respectful and vigilant. In his eyes, David is like a cunning poisonous snake.

This is not derogatory, but a compliment. As a mercenary, David is very professional.

Cruel, cold-blooded, not bound by anything, with the purpose of getting the job done, even if it kills his best friend.

Kodening is a little unprofessional, he is always thinking about other things, such as his terrible performance, such as taking care of his wife.

Once there are more things that people need to care about, their thoughts will become bloated, which is not a good thing.

This is a bloody job, if you are not professional enough, you will die, so Ke Dening is going to die, which is normal.

"My dream is to retire around the age of 40 with a lot of money. I have thought about a place to retire. Do you know Fengyuan Highland? Grass fell like wheat in flakes, and at last it became a vast green field.”

David said and fantasized.

"That place is much better than Opals."

"Sounds good," Bill said.

"It's pretty good," David emphasized.

The conversation between the two fell into silence, and only the sound of gentle breathing remained in the darkness. Their eyes swept into the darkness, but there was no response.

This silence lasted for a few minutes, until David broke it by speaking.

"Are you upset, Bill."

"Yeah." Bill didn't deny it.

"Are you afraid that you'll become the next 'Kordening'?"

"probably."

Bill stared into the darkness in front of him, he could feel the sight, David was staring at himself, and he guessed that the sly snake was smiling, the way he always put on when he violently hurt someone.

"Bill, don't think about those superfluous things, do your job well, this is the quality that professionals should have."

David waved his hand, his voice devoid of emotion.

"So do what you have to do, as long as there is 'value', it will not be given up."

"okay, I get it."

Bill didn't say anything more, got up and left, and when he walked to the door, he stopped again and looked back at the darkness.

"Fengyuan Heights, sounds pretty good, do you need a driver or something?"

"Let's talk about this kind of thing when we live to that time."

David said uncertainly.

When Bill left, he was the only one left in the office. David closed his eyes, and pictures of the factory flashed in front of his eyes, as if another David was running wildly in the factory, gathering everything in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry..."

David slowly opened his eyes, sighed, and looked at the phone on the desk. After hesitating for a few seconds, David dialed the number and connected the phone.

"Hello, is this the great showman, Mr. Cordening Caesar?"

The melancholy is gone, David asked happily.

After a brief pause, Ke Dunning's voice sounded.

"Stop teasing me, David."

"Hahahaha, it's not a joke, it's the truth. After tonight, you will be a rising star in the agreement area."

David praised, but no one knew what the poisonous snake was thinking, so he asked again with concern.

"Is the show about to start?"

"Well, there's still half an hour left, and the audience is already queuing up to enter, and the backstage is making final adjustments."

David could clearly feel the excitement in Kedening's tone, and he tried to calm himself down, but the fluctuation was still too obvious.

"Are you nervous?"

"Of course, it feels like my whole lungs are going to be crushed, and my hands are shaking now."

Ke Dening said without concealment.

"I can understand, this is the desire you have been chasing until now... I really want to be there and witness this moment." David said.

"It's impossible, but at least after tonight, everything will be over," Kedening fantasized about the future, "When we leave Opals and arrive at Fengyuan Heights, we can be neighbors, and then I will perform every day , you have a lot of opportunities to see."

"Well, I'll wait for that moment, how is Ginny doing?"

"It's not bad. It's been very stable recently. In fact, she also wanted to come tonight, but I discouraged her. It's not suitable for her to appear in crowded places."

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a few seconds, and then there was a little sadness in Kedening's voice.

"Think about it, it's really sad that none of you can be there for such a beautiful moment."

"Don't be so pessimistic, at least you'll have the perfect time to yourself, won't you?" David said.

"Compared to exclusive, I want to share this with you."

David squinted his eyes, picked up a cigarette, and lit it. A little flame lit up in the darkness, and he swallowed.

"Do what you have to do, Kedening, and I will do the rest."

David took a deep breath and spoke words only he could understand.

"Get ready for your curtain call."

He said goodbye like this.

After hanging up the phone, David's eyes were filled with thoughts. Just as Bill felt, David always had a friendly smile, but under the smile, twisted and weird thoughts echoed. No one knew what he was thinking. what.

Whenever someone asked about this, David would jokingly say that as a mercenary, he couldn't let people guess what he really thought.

He smoked heavily, and the rising cloud of smoke covered David.

Something was moving in the dark, and they were swarming.
