I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 124 - 124 116 Hello there~

?Chapter 124: 116 Hello there~ Chapter 124: 116 Hello there~ Lin An ultimately did not agree to Mr. Liu’s wife’s request.

For him, an orphan struggling alone in society, home was a sacred place. A house provided shelter from the wind and rain, with no worries that a landlord might suddenly kick him out. Family gave him the best comfort and became the force that drove him to continue advancing against the storms outside the home.

Mr. Liu’s wife’s actions were undoubtedly a defilement to the sacred concept of ‘home’!

“You are his wife!”

Lin An looked at her with sorrow, “How could you do such a thing!”

People’s gazes are powerful, and many, especially women, possess a miraculous sixth sense that can feel others’ stares.

Not to mention Lin An, a wizard in his Emotional Fluctuation Period.

His gaze seemed to turn tangible, instantly spreading over the woman and scaring her so much that goosebumps rose all over her body.

Her body, now exposed to the air conditioning chill due to the thrown-off blanket, actually made her shiver from the stimulation.

Humans are sometimes strange creatures, had the woman tied up and undressed before him not been Mr. Liu’s wife, Lin An truly wouldn’t have minded making some money off the situation.

But now, he looked at her so earnestly and sincerely, his eyes filled with a scorching power, kindly advising, “Don’t do such things as a family member, okay? If you don’t love him, please divorce him, then kill him, okay?”

Sincere words are powerful.

Mr. Liu’s wife seemed somewhat ashamed, almost crying, her eyes misty, and her bound body stopped struggling, limply collapsing.

Lin An felt like he had done a good deed.

Satisfied, he re-covered the woman with the blanket, beginning to wonder what things Mr. Liu had secretly kept at home for dealing with wizards.

Waiting is always a long affair.

It was a good half hour later when Mr. Liu finally drove back into the parking lot of the hotel, entering the range covered by ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’.

That length of time made Mr. Liu appear somewhat frantic.

After getting out of the car, he slammed the door hard, his eyes terrifyingly bloodshot as he kicked the door in a frenzy.

At last, leaning against a pillar behind him and gasping for breath, his eyes became increasingly cold.

It took a full three minutes for the coldness on his face to slowly dissipate, for him to regain calm, a calm so eerie.

Opening the car’s trunk, he took out a suitcase and placed it on the ground, then Mr. Liu solemnly lifted the rubber mat at the bottom, opened a concealed cover, and on the exposed lock, he rapidly inputted a combination—54724577482145244.

Lin An curiously watched the lock, amazed that Mr. Liu could remember such a long string of numbers.

Click~
The door of the sturdy car-mounted safe opened, and inside, with compartments made of velvet, were two items.

One was a balance scale with many transparent-looking weights nearby.

The other resembled a crossbow device, without arrows but with a vial of purple-red fluid, the base appeared to be a charging pressure pump.

Mr. Liu’s expression shifted, muttering to himself, “I’ll wait for you to kill Lin An, I’ll wait for you to kill Lin An…”

In the end, it seemed he persuaded himself, relocking the safe, covering the disguise, and closing the trunk.

Then he carried the suitcase toward the hotel upstairs.

At the door, he began to waver again, carefully pressing his ear to the door as if trying to eavesdrop on the inside.

His expression was strange, as though he wished to hear something, yet feared hearing anything at all.

Lin An did not understand his actions, and could only sit patiently on the sofa waiting.

Mr. Liu finally entered with a calm demeanor.

Watching Mr. Liu push the door open, Lin An suddenly felt as if he were looking at himself.

So cautious, so restrained, so suppressed. With similar longings, both undercover, both enduring the pressure from powerful superiors.

Sometimes, whether the things one possesses would be taken away by someone else depended entirely on the other party.

Lin An felt lucky, Professor Cao and the others, though ostensibly wanting him to test the new cultivation methods they had researched, had given him a choice. Despite Chen Xinmi’s domineering demeanor, after misunderstanding that he had saved her sister, she went out of her way to eliminate threats for him and offered the Three-legged Wooden Toad that she particularly cherished and liked.

He watched Mr. Liu as if looking into a mirror.

It had always been like this.

Before touching the Supernatural World, Mr. Liu was the role model for his anticipated future career. Now, Mr. Liu still had so much he could learn from.

No!

Suddenly, a desire surged in Lin An’s heart, furiously telling him—No! Don’t end up like Mr. Liu in such a pathetic state!

Suppressed?

Numb?

Calm?

Composed?

No! I don’t want any of that! Worst comes to worst, it’ll be a fight to the death! Worst comes to worst, we’ll all go down together! If I’m prepared to be slashed, I dare to drag the emperor from his horse!

Even if I face a formidable enemy, I must splash their face with blood!

Yes, his mindset had started to change.

Was this due to the combination of Spiritual Energy and his own emotions? Lin An didn’t know.

All he knew was that with this mindset…

He felt much better~~~
“Heh,” he chuckled lightly, eyeing Mr. Liu as he approached at a leisurely pace, and licked his lips, “I get the feeling you’re here to kill me?”

“!!!” Mr. Liu’s eyes bulged, and he hurriedly composed his facial expressions and micro-movements, adopting a groveling demeanor, “Respected Wizard sir, we members of the commoners would never harbor hostility towards a Wizard.”

“Is that so…”

The painter Wizard slowly stood up, strode forward, and took the suitcase from Mr. Liu’s hand, tilting his head and staring intently at him, “Then you better act more convincingly. This calmness only makes it seem like you’re plotting something in your heart, doesn’t it?”

“Understand?”

He patted Mr. Liu’s face, laughing heartily, “You need to show emotional feedback. Show anger when you should be angry. That’s how a normal person would act; don’t drive yourself mad holding it in.”

As he spoke, he shook his head in a rueful manner, “That’s not good.”

Moving with a light, rhythmic stride, he headed for the door, then turned back, laughing ‘Hahaha’ along the way.

The laughter was meaningless; he simply felt like laughing.

So he laughed.

He found this behavior particularly exhilarating!

Even more exhilarating than asking Mr. Liu for money!

“That’s really bad, you know~”
Saying this, he ignored Mr. Liu and jauntily walked towards the stairs next to the elevator.

Ascending the staircase, his movements seemed exaggerated compared to his usual walk, yet they didn’t trigger the light-sensitive stair lights.

After a few steps in the darkness, his silhouette twisted and soon turned into a middle-aged man with a beer belly.

Mr. Liu!

“Hey hey~” He chuckled oddly, coughed, and his voice began to sound somewhat like Mr. Liu’s sleazy tone.

Dragging the suitcase, he re-emerged from the stairwell, humming a tune, his steps relaxed as he passed by the hotel room he had just left.

Faintly, he could hear Mr. Liu and his wife arguing.

“Tsk tsk~” Lin An shook his head in pity, feeling that this couple really didn’t appreciate their blessings.

Stepping into the elevator, he glanced up at the camera with a slight smile.

The Witch-hunting Knight’s transforming armor was simply too handy.

It wasn’t just good for disguising as a particular person; it had a wide range of potential applications.

Just like that, he arrived at the parking lot.

“Click, clack.”

He opened the trunk and stuffed the suitcase back into its original place.

Humming a tune, Lin An, with the car keys he had lifted from Mr. Liu, unlocked the car door, swung himself inside.

But…

“Huh, why doesn’t this car have a keyhole?”

Lin An blinked, leaning down in confusion, searching under the steering wheel.

This car was so different from the ones he had seen during driving school. Finally, he tried pressing the ‘start’ button on the car’s control panel, and that’s how the engine roared to life.

“High tech, huh~”
He smacked his lips, too lazy to warm up the car, stepped on the gas, and headed for Mr. Liu’s home.

Lowering the window, he let the breeze waft in, rippling through his mood.

The cityscape slowly receded behind him.

Lin An was in high spirits. Waiting at a red light, he rested one arm casually on the window ledge and even gave a friendly nod to a guy in the next car.

“Hi there~”
“Freak!” As the green light came on, the guy drove off cursing under his breath.

Heh, if I weren’t in a rush to go treasure hunting, I’d take you on today. How dare you call me crazy!
