Nicole: I Want to Be Friends With Fu Hua

"Huh? What's empty? Anbi, spit it out—"

"It's nothing, Nicole, I'm fine, let's go."

"Right, who was that person who looked just like you? A relative?"

Hearing this, Anbi paused for a moment before nodding, a barely perceptible smile gracing its lips.

"Yeah, you could say that. My sister."

"I thought they were all gone. Seeing her alive now makes me really happy."

"Is that so? Billy, let's get out of here, quick."

Tossing two valuable watches into Billy's hands, Nicole flicked her hair and said.

"Got it, Boss Nicole! These watches are..."

"Found them on the ground. Thought no one wanted them."

"Uh, Nicole, you clearly stole those from the pockets of the person lying on the ground."

Su Ling scratched her head, somewhat speechless.

"What do you mean 'stole'? Can't you say it nicer?"

Opening the car door and sliding into the passenger seat with long strides, Nicole turned and flicked Bombo on the forehead.

"Boss Nicole calls that 'finding lost property and returning it to its rightful owner.' The person's lying on the ground, can they even eat Ether with these watches? Better to contribute to society."

"Exactly! Billy knows how to talk. Keep one for yourself to play with."

"Hehe! Thanks, Boss Nicole! I can get a new brand of oil for my machine now, maybe I can even snag a limited edition Star Knight figure!"

The group drove off like that, drifting away.

"By the way, Anbi, is Cuiji really related to you?"

Su Ling asked curiously.

"Proxy knows her?"

"Mhm, I worked with her before, of course I know her."

"Then can Proxy tell me how she's doing? If she's not doing well, bring her to Cunning Rabbit House. Is that okay, Nicole?"

Nicole waved her hand dismissively.

"Sure, it's just one more mouth to feed."

"Uh... with your financial situation, is that really okay?"

"What are you talking about?! Phaethon, even though Cunning Rabbit House is running a deficit every month, we can still provide basic necessities."

"Come on, Nicole. With Fu Hua around, Anbi, don't worry. Cuiji is doing just fine."

"Fu Hua? Who's that, Phaethon, have you made another new friend?"

"Mhm, Fu Hua is an agent introduced by the Shepherd, and she's also Cuiji's Master."

Since Nicole was an old acquaintance, and despite her love for money, her character was impeccable, plus Cuiji and Anbi's relationship.

Su Ling didn't think twice and mentioned Fu Hua.

"Oh~ I see. Judging by her fight just now, she's quite strong. What about her Master?"

Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly as she probed indirectly.

"In what way?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nicole turned her head and met Eous's gaze. After a long moment, she finally looked away.

"I mean her combat ability, her financial strength... what else could it be?"

"Mhm, mhm. With Fu Hua's strength. You know Hoshimi Miyabi, right?"

"Of course. Who doesn't know that martial arts fanatic fox? The youngest Void Hunter."

"Fu Hua is stronger than her. Last time, she single-handedly suppressed the entire Anti-Air Sixth Division."

Suddenly, a quiet atmosphere fell over the car.

"Haha! That strong!? That's the Anti-Air Sixth Division~"

"Billy, watch the road!!! We're going to crash—"

Getting too excited, Billy turned his head and exclaimed.

The car swerved and weaved, but finally stabilized.

"Phew, that was close—"

"Billy!! Your fancy watch is gone—"

"What! Boss Nicole, I was wrong~"

"Focus on driving."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Afterward, Nicole suppressed her excitement and asked Suzuki.

"So the reports from a few days ago were about that Fu Hua, truly..."

Amazing.

"How is her financial situation?"

"She owns a large apartment in the city center."

At these words, Nicole's body trembled.

She quickly grabbed Billy.

"Stop the car..."

"Huh? Boss Nicole, we're about to leave the void, why stop?"

"Stop talking nonsense and stop the car."

"Alright."

The moment the car stopped, Nicole pushed the door open and bolted out.

"A large apartment in the city center! I've never even dared to dream of something like this------!!!"

In the car, the three of them stared blankly at the pink-haired woman, who looked like the Monkey King escaping from under the Five Elements Mountain.

"While this is indeed shocking, isn't Nicole overreacting a bit?"

"No, no, no, Proxy, for Boss Nicole, who views money as her life.

I actually think her reaction isn't intense enough."

Billy, propped against the car window, said earnestly to Suzuki.

"But it's really surprising. A house in the city center costs over a hundred million Deni per square meter.

That's enough for me to eat burgers until I'm full."

Anbi couldn't help but picture himself lying in an ocean of burgers.

The three watched Nicole make a scene for a while before she got back in the car.

"Proxy, no. Suzuki~ Please introduce me to Anbi's Master.

I think she and I will become the best of friends."

"Uh... I'll have to ask Ah Hua about that."

"Phaethon, what's with that disdainful look!

Did I not pay you for a dozen commissions?"

"Oh, you remember it clearly, don't you?"

Back at Fu Hua's home.

Cuiji, with a smile on her face, opened the door with facial recognition and saw Fu Hua sitting on the balcony, listening to the wind.

She walked over, bowed slightly, and called out.

"Master, I'm back."

"Mmm... Was the commission successful?"

Without turning around, Fu Hua flipped through the pages of her book, her tone indifferent.

"Perfectly."

"That's good. The commission fee..."

"This, ah! I think I forgot to ask for it."

Hearing the panic in her voice, Fu Hua got up slightly and sighed.

"Sigh~ Did you see her?"

Her body stiffened. Cuiji understood Fu Hua's meaning and nodded.

"I, I did."

"Flustered and confused, you probably said things vaguely.

Next time, find an opportunity to properly arrange a meeting and have a chat."

"Yes, I understand, Master. You're so kind~"

Fu Hua nodded and stopped speaking. She picked up her scissors and began trimming the potted plant on the balcony.

"Master, the Proxy told you, didn't he?"

"Otherwise? The moment he saw you, he told me everything."

"Tsk..."

"What is it, Master?"

"It seems I've cut the wrong branch--"

Cuiji's lips twitched instantly.

"If I recall correctly, you just bought this plant yesterday morning."

"No, to be precise, it was just before noon."

"That's not what I meant! If you're not up to it, maybe watch a tutorial video first. You've already ruined three plants."

Completely ignoring Cuiji's grumbling, Fu Hua slowly put down her scissors.

She placed the flower she had just cut into a book as a bookmark.

Standing with her hands behind her back, she gazed at the bustling streetscape in the distance and sighed.

"I'm getting old. My mind doesn't work as fast as the young people's anymore. I feel like this fast-paced city life...

I just can't keep up."

Whether you can't keep up or never could, you know best.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. They might have just changed the name!
