Claiming the bounty on the Clown Killer?
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Just a second ago, Piyuan was still arguing with Kang Zai about the Clown Killer.
And now, the person they had been pursuing had just shown up at their doorstep?
This made Piyuan and Kang Zai, who were in the midst of their quarrel, fall silent, their gazes fixed on the door.
Seeing this, Saz stepped forward with a shrug, walking towards the door, grasping the doorknob, and slowly opening it.
A creaking sound echoed.
Then, the door swung open.
Three figures came into view.
The newcomers were none other than Bai Ze, Ku Luo Mu, and Ya Ma Yin.
A child?
And a girl?
Two girls and a child?
What was going on here?
Kang Zai, who was straightforward and blunt, widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Oi, little brat~!”
“What were you just saying?”
Bai Ze replied honestly, “We came to claim the bounty on the Clown Killer.”
Upon hearing this, Kang Zai was taken aback and retorted.
“Don’t joke around, kid. The Clown Killer is a Class C wanted criminal, worth 38.88 million Jieni at the police headquarters, and 20 million Jieni at the Hunter Association.”
“You’re just a bunch of kids; how could you possibly take down the Clown Killer?”
“We are Hunters. If you lie to us, you might just end up dead...”
Clearly, in Kang Zai's eyes, Bai Ze and the others were just ordinary kids, and he was trying to intimidate Bai Ze into telling the truth.
In contrast, the more composed Saz observed Bai Ze and the others with a glint in his eyes.
Bai Ze, dressed in a black suit, had a pure black pacifier hanging in front of him, and there was a faint killing intent about him, which had been deliberately concealed.
Would an ordinary child exude such an aura?
Would they possess such killing intent?
The answer was no.
Moreover, Ya Ma Yin and Ku Luo Mu also radiated a strong energy.
In just a brief moment, Saz had already analyzed everything.
Although Kang Zai was stronger in terms of power,
he was clearly not as quick-witted as Saz.
With this thought, Saz maintained an elegant demeanor and smiled as he asked,
“Hello, may I ask if you are members of the Vongola?”
Bai Ze nodded, “Yes.”
As expected, the Vongola family was quite peculiar, with its members being all children and girls... Saz continued, “May I see some proof?”
As he pulled out his phone and opened the album, he showed Saz photos and videos.
He also took out a strand of hair from the Clown Killer and handed it to Saz.
Bai Ze said calmly, “Of course.”
After confirming everything was in order, Saz was internally shocked; the Clown Killer had truly been taken down by the child before him, who was definitely not as simple as he appeared.
Taking a deep breath to calm his mind, Saz's expression remained unfazed as he said,
“Thank you for helping our Hunter Association eliminate a Class C wanted criminal. Your bounty of 20 million Jieni is already prepared. Please follow me to the finance office, and I will settle the payment for you right away.”
To be fair, Saz, the composed gentleman, spoke politely and pleasantly, not putting Bai Ze in a difficult position.
In response, Bai Ze felt quite favorable towards him.
While pondering, Bai Ze instinctively patted Ya Ma Yin's bottom, signaling her to go collect the bounty.
Oh, that feeling was off.
Bai Ze, who had become quite skilled, was already familiar with the sensation of Ya Ma Yin's bottom.
This time, the sensation was noticeably larger and harder to grasp.
Looking up, he saw a beautiful girl in a pink short skirt, with lively orange waves in her hair, her sparkling eyes fixed intently on Bai Ze.
Even now, Bai Ze still hadn’t recognized the identities of Saz, Piyuan, Kang Zai, and the others.
After all, Piyuan and Kang Zai were not yet one of the Twelve Earthly Branches, and they bore no obvious distinguishing features.
The only characteristic was that Kang Zai had yellow hair.
Piyuan had a hot figure and a cute appearance.
In the original story, they had the traits of the Tiger and the Rabbit.
Now, they looked vastly different from their original appearances.
Moreover, Saz had little screen time in the original, and there were still six years until the plot unfolded.
Saz's current appearance also differed significantly from that in the original.
Because of this, Bai Ze only felt that the people before him looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t immediately recognize them.
Accidentally patting Piyuan's bottom, Bai Ze showed an apologetic expression: “Sorry.”
As a result, Piyuan took the initiative and hugged Bai Ze tightly, her exquisite face filled with affection.
“What a cute little friend, let sister hold you.”
“Little friend, how old are you this year~?”
Bai Ze, who was being hugged by Piyuan, was suddenly enveloped by a sweet milky scent.
Was this the rookie protection period?
Cough, cough... secretly delighted, it didn’t seem too bad.
“Five years old.”
He certainly wouldn’t tell Piyuan the truth.
Moreover, if he were to be honest, he was only one year old right now.
Looking at Bai Ze, who was dressed in a small suit with a black pacifier hanging in front of him, his cool yet adorable image melted Piyuan's heart, and she hugged him even tighter, continuously rubbing him.
Although Bai Ze was still young, his handsome features were already quite evident.
Piyuan loved children, and this was the first time she had seen such a cool and adorable little boy.
Usually, she wouldn’t even glance at other children, let alone hug them.
Her first time was given so sweetly to Bai Ze.
Bai Ze, who was being pampered by Piyuan,
upheld the principle of not being at a disadvantage.
He also took advantage of the age protection mechanism and rubbed back.
He sighed inwardly, was this the joy of being a little brat?
