CHAPTER 277: CHAPTER 219: BLACK-HEARTED GHOST DOCTOR

The leader must have already gone far, after all, with their level of strength, they can advance several hundred meters in a second. It’s already been a few minutes since we last spoke, so they could have traveled several hundred kilometers.

"Do you have a phone here? I could give him a call and have him come pick me up?" Rosen thought it was too complicated and said.

"Sure, the phone is in the booth next to us. But if you don’t have the other party’s phone number, having a phone won’t help."

This reminder suddenly made Rosen realize he didn’t even have the leader’s phone number. What now?

"How about this? You post a missing person’s notice at the door. If a powerful Demon God passes by, maybe they’ll kindly help you with your problem after seeing the notice."

"Can you really do that?"

Rosen pondered the guard’s words and found some logic in them.

Although the leader had gone in first and likely gone far, with the speed of a powerful Demon God, they could catch up in no time. Perhaps a powerful Demon God would be willing to help.

So Rosen posted a notice, drawing a rough sketch of the leader’s appearance on it. Although it was hardly distinguishable, Rosen could understand it, and that was enough.

Demon Gods passing by would stop at the door to observe the notice and engage in heated discussions upon seeing the portrait.

Some said it was left by a master, while others claimed the man in the picture was a wanted criminal in the Demon Realm.

Regardless of the opinions, everyone agreed the person in the portrait was important and must be found.

And just two minutes later, a powerful Demon God returned to the city gate with a man in tow and threw him to the ground.

The man rolled several times on the ground before lying there and spotting Rosen: "I’ve finally found you. How could you just run off?"

Rosen said, "Did you forget to introduce me? I couldn’t get through the city gate."

"Oh yeah, right. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten." The leader climbed up from the ground, handed a recommendation letter to the gatekeeping Demon God, allowing Rosen to pass through.

The leader then whispered to Rosen, "Do you know who that Demon God was that dragged me back?"

"I don’t know."

"You should be careful. He’s one of the three main protectors in the Demon Realm, the Barbaric Power Demon God!"

"Is he very powerful?"

"Of course! Let me put it this way: after entering the city gate, I’d nearly covered five hundred kilometers, and yet, the Barbaric Power Demon God caught me and brought me back here in a single step. Isn’t that something else?"

"That’s quite impressive! With such long strides, isn’t he afraid of pulling something?"

"You don’t get it. A Demon God of his caliber has long since dealt with any such issues and makes egg drop soup with seaweed using what’s left. They have no weaknesses anymore."

"Such strength! Wouldn’t encountering him in the future be extremely dangerous? With their giant steps, we wouldn’t even be able to escape."

"There’s no need to worry. Our Tomb Raider organization holds an immunity token. With it, you’re completely safe from sudden attacks."

The leader took out an archaeological permit and handed it to Rosen, saying, "That’s why I rushed five hundred kilometers ahead—to get you this permit. It’s your life-saving charm. Carry it with you, and show it to the powerful; it will keep you safe."

Hearing this, Rosen cried tears of gratitude, moved by the leader’s actions. He didn’t expect the leader to rush through the city gate and run five hundred kilometers just to get him a permit.

"Alright, save your cheap tears. You’re just a small-time salesman under me. You might not even pass the probationary period. These two months will be more than enough for you to feel the heat."

Wiping his tears, Rosen nodded and said, "Alright, I won’t let you down. I’ll definitely survive the probationary period!"

After all, to acquire the Divine Artifact through tomb raiding—oh no, I mean archaeology—he must endure the trial of the probationary period.

The leader spoke seriously, "During the probationary period, you’ll be doing a lot of dirty and tiring work. Many veteran employees will push their tasks onto you; be prepared for it."

Rosen nodded, "That won’t be an issue for me. I’m a workaholic."

"A workaholic, are you? Well, don’t come crying later on!" the leader said sternly.

He immediately took Rosen to the worksite.

It was an antique shop, quaintly decorated by an elder.

But as soon as Rosen entered, he started crying.

Seeing this, the leader immediately remarked, "I told you so, you’d cry. Didn’t you believe me?"

Rosen wiped away tears and snot, saying, "But you never mentioned someone was chopping onions here!"

The leader, wiping away tears and snot as well, said with a pained expression, "I can’t help it, your workspace is near the kitchen, so just bear with it."

After saying this, the leader fled, leaving Rosen alone at the counter.

Not long after, a Demon God customer approached the counter.

It was a Three-star Demon God, indicated by the three stars shining atop his head.

The hierarchy of Demon Gods is divided into five main levels: star, moon, sun, fortress, and crown.

Each level contains five sub-levels.

The Demon God in front of Rosen was three stars, which was considered relatively low in rank.

Facing such a weak presence, the oppressive atmosphere was minimal, and Rosen quickly adapted.

"Is there any antique that caught your fancy?"

"Boss, can I use a magnifying glass to check if there are any fakes here?"
