"You can't afford to be careless..."
Upon hearing Hu Ma's reply, Er Guotou seemed to become quite excited and hurriedly said, "Brother, you've really made it big?"
"I saw you sitting at a table drinking with that small hall officer! That look, that aura—I couldn't see through her at all. She's clearly a person of high stature..."
"..."
Hu Ma hadn't expected Er Guotou to be so impatient. He knew that since he had orchestrated this setup, he now needed to establish his persona properly. This would make it easier to reveal intelligence or seek help in the future.
So he chuckled and said, "Truth be told, it could be considered a success."
"I knew Seventh Aunt from before, but we weren't exactly close. In this matter, I honestly performed well in front of her. I completed the tasks she assigned me neatly, and she also saved the person I asked her to."
"Now, it seems she holds me in high regard. In the future, we can at least consider each other allies."
"Of course..."
