Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 218 32. Lord Devil's Divine Punishment! (10k words for monthly ticket)_2

"If it weren't for him, ... I really wouldn't be where I am today."

"An old friend of Grandpa's," Fang Ze empathetically nodded. "You're right."

"I also think, you should properly thank that old friend of your Grandpa's."

Hearing Fang Ze say so, Wang Hao smiled and then said, "I do want to thank him. But that senior ... is a real master. He doesn't care about my gratitude at all."

"Helping me was just a trivial matter for him."

"So, I just hope I can quickly enhance my own strength and then develop my career. Hopefully, there will be a day when I can repay him."

After boasting about having such a big "backer," Wang Hao paused and then asked, "By the way, how are things on your end?"

"I heard you've become quite the celebrity in Emerald City recently."

"Your name is heard everywhere."

Fang Ze smiled and then said, "It's just that, a mere reputation. I haven't even officially joined yet, still in training."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao was also a bit surprised, then couldn't help but ask about the reason.

Fang Ze chose some non-confidential matters, and casually talked about them.

Just like that, the two chatted while drinking tea.

Waiting until all the dishes and drinks were served.

Only then did Wang Hao finally reveal the purpose of his visit today.

He raised a glass to Fang Ze and said, "Fang Ze. Without hiding it, I actually came today on a mission."

"Ever since Deputy Director Qiu Yue was taken away by your team, our Director hasn't been at peace."

"Now, seeing that a Municipal Councilor and the Minister of the Supervisory Department have also been taken away by you, he's even more worried."

Because type of defensive artifacts, Wang Hao really didn't have, and indeed... they would be a great help to him.

Moreover, although Fang Ze said it was a loan, he didn't specify a return date.

It was essentially no different from a gift.

So, Wang Hao finally accepted them...

Regarding Fang Ze's use of the word "loan", Wang Hao had some guesses.

He felt that the defensive artifact was probably issued by the Security Bureau. Normally, Fang Ze shouldn't give it to someone else.

And after using it, Fang Ze would have to collect the pieces and return them to the bureau.

That's why Fang Ze said it was a "loan."

Thinking that Fang Ze gave him such a critical lifesaving tool, an intense sense of gratitude surged in Wang Hao's heart.

He no longer had the face to pursue Director Qiu Yue's matter, and could only frequently raise his glass to drink with Fang Ze.

This time, he spoke much less, but his words were visibly more sincere than before.

After drinking more, the phrase he repeated the most was, "Back then, you ran off right in front of me, and I was completely startled."

"Then I hurried to find Officer Bai Zhi and the others."

"It turned out, you had even written us a letter."

"Hahaha."

"Back then, in the last part of your letter, you said. If fate allows, we should have a great drink together. Now, it has finally come true!"

"And moreover, both of us have transformed from ordinary people to Awakeners. We both have a bright future in our respective departments!"

Just like this, they chatted while eating, and by the time they finished dinner, it was past eight o'clock.

Both of them were quite restrained people, so they just drank a little tipsy and then ended the dinner gathering, went outside to hail a cab, planning to go their separate ways.
