593: Florian
Chapter 593: Floreali
It was past one o'clock, well past lunchtime, and at noon, most people were either taking a nap or wouldn't be out and about under the scorching sun.
Ye Zian made a meal for himself, and of course, for his boss as well.
After they finished eating.
"Alright, close up shop. I'll take you to the office. Oh, right, make two large pizzas to take to your colleagues. They probably haven't eaten yet," Thrace said to Ye Zian, remembering something.
"Okay!" Ye Zian nodded and immediately started making the pizzas.
Soon, Ye Zian, carrying the packaged pizzas, followed Thrace to an SUV (it looked a bit like a Knight XV).
"This car is..." It was Ye Zian's first time seeing Thrace drive this car, and such a big, cool one at that!
"It's mine. I just rarely drive it normally. This is for missions," Thrace said with a shrug. "Pretty cool, right? I've made a lot of modifications to it!"
"Very cool!" Ye Zian nodded earnestly. He couldn't help but look at the car a few more times, and the more he looked, the cooler it seemed!
A real man should drive a big car!!!
"If it's cool, look at it more. Once you've had enough, we'll get in and go," Thrace said with a smile from the side, then opened the driver's door and got in.
...... Ye Zian rolled his eyes, but quickly got into the car. Hmm, it was a bit high.
"Buckle up, we're about to go!" Thrace said to Ye Zian in the passenger seat.
"Okay... Hey, hey, hey, whoa!" As soon as Ye Zian buckled his seatbelt, the car launched forward.
He couldn't understand how such a large car could do a launch start.
"Feel good, right!" Thrace said to Ye Zian with a smile.
He drove the car on the main road. The road was wide, and perhaps because it was noon, there weren't many people or cars.
Ye Zian admired the world outside the car.
To be honest, he had never traveled far. This world was unsafe, especially with his talent for perception. When he was out, he felt... like he could die at any moment. The constant warning from his perception made him extremely irritated and uneasy.
So, for many years, he had become accustomed to a two-point, or at most, a three-point linear life.
But now... he had to change, or rather, he was forced to change his life.
Soon, Thrace drove the car into a very large and spacious courtyard.
"Get out, little brother~ This is my office," Thrace said to Ye Zian with a smile.
After Ye Zian got out of the car, he saw a huge building in front of him, mainly minimalist in style, with simple and clear color coordination that was both pleasing to the eye and aesthetically appealing.
Two large doors were wide open, very large and wide, at least enough for more than a dozen people to pass through simultaneously.
This building had two floors, and not counting the courtyard, the single-floor footprint of the house alone was at least three hundred square meters.
Walking into the building, it was very large and spacious, with many things, but it didn't look cluttered; instead, it was well-organized.
There were two semi-spiral staircases, one on the left and one on the right. The middle of the second floor was "hollow," allowing a large part of the first floor's central area to be seen, an open-plan style.
Ye Zian saw many people in the hall on the first floor.
These were either cleaning staff or some consulting staff. Compared to them, there seemed to be only about a dozen working staff.
"Alright, stop looking around. Let's go up to the second floor. Everyone on the first floor is an employee; those on the second floor are partners," Thrace said to Ye Zian.
Ah! Is that so? Ye Zian glanced at the people in the first-floor hall, then nodded slightly and followed Thrace upstairs.
Some people saw Thrace taking Ye Zian upstairs, but only glanced at them before looking away.
That was the boss; they wouldn't fail to recognize him.
As for the guests? The staff didn't say anything when they saw them, so what was there for the guests to say?
Thrace took Ye Zian to the second floor and entered the largest room on the second floor.
Behind an office desk sat a woman wearing glasses.
"Yo! Isn't this my dear Lily! Long time no see! Let the boss give you a kiss!" Thrace's eyes lit up when he saw the woman with glasses. He then walked towards her, opening his arms.
"Be serious!" The woman called Lily looked at Thrace and said unhappily, simultaneously pulling a gun from under her and pointing it at Thrace: "Unless I'm mistaken, we just saw each other last night."
"Hehehe! I'm the boss!" Thrace raised his hands and said to Lily.
"Is this the new person?" Lily spun the gun once before putting it away, then looked at Ye Zian and asked.
"Yes, he was originally my employee, well, not from the first floor, but from my food truck," Thrace said with a shrug. "But there was a small accident last night."
"Hmm." Lily nodded slightly after hearing Thrace's words, then looked at Ye Zian and said, "Hello, my name is Floreali. You can just call me Lily."
"Uh... Flo... Florea... Alright, Lily! Hello!" Ye Zian tried to pronounce it once, then immediately gave up.
"So cute!" Lily smiled, looking at Thrace.
"Ah! Lily, am I not cute anymore?" Thrace said with a pained expression, then looked like he wanted comfort and was about to hug Lily.
"Get lost! You damn greasy middle-aged boss!" Lily directly pulled out her gun and pressed it against Thrace's forehead.
...... Ye Zian looked at the two, not knowing what to say. It was a bit wild... Was this how Thrace lived his daily life?
"Ahem, don't mind it~ The life of a Demon Hunter is inherently unrestrained and free! The Inner World is too oppressive, so pressure release is needed~" Thrace turned to Ye Zian and said, then finished and said to Lily, "So, Lily, how about we get a room tonight and discuss life together?"
"I think shooting your head, which is full of perverted thoughts, would be more practical!" Lily directly refused.
"That's truly a shame," Thrace said with a shrug.
Hmm... Ye Zian suddenly noticed Lily's eyes. Light purple pupils, seemingly with mysterious patterns.
"You noticed, didn't you?" Thrace suddenly said.
"Huh?" Ye Zian was startled.
"Lily's eyes," Thrace said to Ye Zian with a smile.
"Ah~ Yes..." Ye Zian nodded: "Are those colored contacts?"
"Pfft~" Lily immediately burst out laughing.
"Do you remember what I told you before, that gods and demons exist in this world?" Thrace said to Ye Zian.
"I remember... Are you saying? Is Lily a demon?" Ye Zian's pupils contracted slightly.
"Congratulations!"
