Socially Anxious Little Four

Xiao Xiao had witnessed the absurdity outside the city and knew that every city was like a giant living organism. Ordinary strangers, even those under Knight Pact, had no right to leave the city. At most, they could follow Yang Jia and go to the edge of the city, just like he had done before. But even then, there were great restrictions, and they could not go far.

There is another situation that Xiao Xiao learned from Yang Jia.

There are quite a few ways to smuggle people into this world. For example, she is not currently under a knight or Lord Pact, but she can travel freely between cities. However, most smuggling methods will result in punishment after leaving the city, and her own power will be weakened to a certain extent. Some people will even have all their power taken away by the city and become ordinary people.

However, the Lord Pact is different; it allows one to freely enter and leave the city and maintains immense power.

According to Yang Jia, this is because, as a lord, even if you leave the city, the city's will will always be watching you. Therefore, no matter where you go, you are always under the city's gaze, and you always retain the power bestowed upon you by the city.

And this ability can even be shared.

That is, the power to approve one or more other strangers to leave the city temporarily.

Will other people need my permission to leave the city from now on?

"Leave the city..."

Upon first hearing about this power, Xiao Xiao felt a slight surge of excitement.

But then it suddenly dawned on me that it didn't seem to be of any use.

What are we doing outside the city?

The city he was in was a giant monster, so he subconsciously had the idea of escaping it.

But are other cities not monsters too?

"Although, in fact, I was essentially sidelined as the president from the very beginning..."

After carefully understanding his current power, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but think to himself, "But the privileges this city has given me are real. That Mister Ye, who is paralyzed from the waist down, has always been so mysterious. When I took office as the chairman, he didn't even show his face and often spied on us... But in reality, I can now punish him?"

Of course, it's just a thought.

Xiao Xiao knew that this city was strange and mysterious, and there were still many things he didn't understand.

That Mister Ye had everyone in Black Gate City completely fooled, including even a powerful figure like Yang Jia.

Try your best not to provoke him.

The advantage is that this Mister Ye. Ye never forced himself to do anything.

Xiao Xiao was already quite certain that the man who helped him sit in the chairman's seat must have some purpose.

But when I ask him, he won't say. He usually acts very conscientiously, so what can I do?

Is it because the boss's employees are too ambitious that he feels insecure?

Xiao Xiao felt that this idea was wrong, so he adjusted his thinking. Yang Jia and Mister Ye were both very diligent and had lofty pursuits or mysterious goals, so let them pursue them. Although he, as the president, didn't know anything, he knew how to keep quiet. Anyway, his strength was still far from sufficient, and he hadn't even figured out his own affairs yet.

With this in mind, he has been spending the last few days in bars, trying to understand his own abilities and organize his thoughts.

Black Gate City was genuinely concerned about what was in the Old Chairman's safe.

Whether it was Red Eyes Ling Ping, Old Zhou Under the Bridge, or the Serpent Sisters, they all initially expected Xiao Xiao to bring out that thing, or at least let them know what it was. But after that night, Xiao Xiao didn't mention it at all, and neither Yang Jia nor Mister Ye asked about it, making it seem as if that thing was unimportant.

Although they were eager and greedy, they could only remain silent.

Put yourself in their shoes. If you got your hands on something so precious, you probably would have kept it to yourself too, right?

However, the elder of the Serpent Sisters mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally when she came to report to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao at the time simply looked at her with a smile and asked, "Are you curious?"

The snake sister felt a chill run down her spine, chuckled dryly twice, and from then on, she tacitly agreed never to mention it again.

"Brother Xiao, the deal for that batch of alcoholic beverages has been finalized..."

Just as Xiao Xiao was sitting in his office, lost in thought, a timid voice suddenly rang out beside him.

"Holy crap..."

Xiao Xiao suddenly turned his head and saw Little Four standing obediently beside him.

He was still wearing the red vest that the shop's waiters wore, but even though it was already a very slim size, it still looked a bit baggy on him.

Xiao Xiao Little Four, then at the tightly closed office door, and felt a little helpless:

"You still don't like to knock on the door..."

"..."

After Yang Jia arranged for Little Four to come and work for him, he became Xiao Xiao's assistant as a stranger in the city. However, Xiao Xiao felt sorry for Little Four, as it wasn't a sustainable way for him to scavenge for food in the garbage every day. So, he gave him a job, letting him work in the store with the other waiters, carrying plates and serving drinks, etc.

But they soon discovered that it wouldn't work.

Little Four is afraid of people.

This shop is always bustling with people coming and going, indulging in all sorts of unrestrained and bizarre drinking behaviors.

Little Four was afraid of this very thing. Not only could he not work properly, but he also always found excuses to run to Xiao Xiao's side and follow him. Once Xiao Xiao left him alone downstairs, he became more and more afraid and retreated further and further to the side. Before long, he disappeared into some corner.

There was no other way, so Xiao Xiao had to arrange for him to do some other work.

For example, cleaning up after the bar closes, or staying overnight at the bar to keep watch.

But it soon became clear that this wasn't working either. Little Four couldn't break his habit of secretly taking leftover fruit plates or cigarette butts while cleaning. Xiao Xiao couldn't bear to see him so pitiful, so he paid him his salary in advance, but he still couldn't change his ways.

Helpless, Xiao Xiao decided to stop him from working and just let him collect his salary.

But he was quite professional and resolutely refused...

Finally, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to assign him to the sales department. Since the bar was actually managed by the Pink Maiden Gang, and each aspect of the business was handled by a specialist, he basically had nothing to do. Xiao Xiao had many excuses to pay him for his job there, but he never expected that Little Four would perform exceptionally well in this position...

It started as a workshop that usually delivered counterfeit liquor, but suddenly they wanted to raise their prices or they wouldn't deliver anymore.

Everyone in the store was furious and went to discuss it with Xiao Xiao. Before Xiao Xiao could make a decision, Little Four was usually in charge of counting the drinks, got anxious and ran out on his own. Not long after, they called and said that they would not raise the price anymore and would even lower it.

Xiao Xiao was surprised, feeling as if he had discovered one of Little Four's amazing abilities.

That is, he has a way of handling anything you ask him to do.

Some customers were dissatisfied and threatened to come and cause trouble, but Little Four stepped in and resolved the issue quickly.

People from the administrative office would come over every day under the guise of sanitation inspections to cause trouble, but Little Four would step in and resolve the issue quickly.

One of the shop assistants had her wallet stolen on the street and was crying in distress. Little Four stepped in and quickly returned the wallet...

In this shop, no one knows anything about Little Four's background.

He may look thin and Xiao Xiao, but every time he appears, he makes the final decision, and the news has already spread.

They say Fourth Brother has connections everywhere and high-ranking influence.

However, it wasn't until Xiao Xiao needed Little Four's help to handle something that he realized how Xiao Si had handled it. His mother had been recuperating in the hospital for a while, and recently, due to the shortage of wards, the doctor wanted to move his mother out and arrange for someone willing to pay more money privately to move in. Xiao Xiao was very dissatisfied, so he casually mentioned it to Little Four and asked him to handle it.

As usual, everything went smoothly, and that very evening the chief physician happily agreed to let Xiao's Mom stay.

Stay as long as you want.

However, Xiao Xiao, who had been keeping a watchful eye on things, kept observing the doctor.

So he saw that it was late at night, and the doctor and his wife were already in bed. The doctor, in fact, had been having some vigorous exercise and had just turned off the bedside lamp and was falling into a deep sleep when he suddenly saw a face looking at him from the ceiling.

The doctor was so shocked that he could hardly describe it, and he even managed to produce a superior soprano voice.

But the face on the ceiling watched him silently until his greatest panic subsided and it demanded to know who he was.

He then honestly replied, "My Little Four, and I'm here to ask you for a favor."

"You don't have to agree, but I'll come every day from now on."

"..."

The discussion went very smoothly, and the doctor agreed to Little Four's request without hesitation.

Little Four thanked him gratefully, then her pale face slowly disappeared into the surrounding shadows.

"Their efficiency is truly remarkable..."

From then on, Xiao Xiao's opinion of Little Four changed drastically, and he no longer dared to underestimate Little Four, who would squat on the ground to pick up cigarette butts and smoke them.

He even called Ruan Ruan, and listened to her earnest explanation:

"Little Four just has severe social anxiety, but her work ability has always been the best among us..."

"Otherwise, why would Jiajia-jie have arranged for him to be by your side?"

"..."

Xiao Xiao was shocked. "You call this social anxiety?"

"Yes..."

Ruan Ruan said, "Because he's timid and shy, and not good at interacting with strangers, he either avoids strangers and lives freely in an environment where no one pays attention to him, or he just kills the strangers directly... That doesn't make sense?"

That makes perfect sense...

Xiao Xiao felt that it must be because he was too ignorant that he couldn't understand it.

"That's good. Let's go down and take a look."

As he thought about it, Xiao Xiao got up and called to Little Four.

When Little Four is with me, he is bolder and has no problem speaking or acting.

When he arrived on the first floor, he found it filled with demons dancing wildly, the atmosphere eerie and gloomy, like something out of hell.

The Record Player Miss has made this bar famous throughout the city with her unique style.

Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, was very satisfied with this.

With no particularly outstanding advantages in his ability path, all he can rely on are these few special items that he personally enhanced.

And they performed really well.

Or rather, understanding the things you're good at is wonderful.
