“Milk candy? Which flavor? Mother will order you some by express, the clan won’t mind it, they are more concerned with making you happy these days.”
“No flavor, only milk.”
Mother Shen smiled when she saw Shen Yu relaxing under her care, “Stupid, you can order anything you want, I will give them all to you, forget about the clan and your father.”
Shen Yu paused when he heard that, so after a long silence, he finally said, “No, but there is one thing… can you,” then he mumbled something under his breath.
Mother Shen didn’t catch it even with her sharper hearing, so she moved in closer, “Tell mother again, I didn’t hear it clearly.”
Shen Yu twiddled with his finger, his expression becoming frostier as he became stiff again, “that… those milk candies that I like, are special… the clan who makes it is a… demonic clan.”
Hearing this, mother Shen looked at Shen Yu with an unknown gaze, making Shen Yu feel smothered, so he hurried to defend himself, “It is special only because I ate it most often, it tasted good, but I am not sure about other candies, you can order any type, I will be fine with it.”
When it came to his mother, Shen Yu became long winded, it could be because he always felt that his mother saw through everything. And he didn’t want her to know his attachment to those milk candies… there was nothing more to it than his nostalgia about his past struggle, and his mother won’t understand. She would misunderstand something and Shen Yu was dreading that.
After a long silence, she sat straighter, “Alright, mother will look into it, although our clan has a bad reputation when it comes to business relationship with demonic clans, no clan is averse to parting some favors.”
“You don’t need to do that, you can just order it, I have heard they have a local store front in Chinghau. They don’t discriminate.”
“Oh? Tell me, I will take you there, want to do some activity?”
“Mother,” Shen Yu paused, “let’s not go there in person, we can order, they will send.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Mother Shen seemed to understand his concern, “Alright, I will order, what is the store name, I don’t find it a hassle to order from night stores.”
Shen Yu relaxed, “The store is called, Kitten24, it sells special products for infants, toddlers and little kids. They don’t pry into customers so you can just order whatever.”
Mother Shen nodded, she closed her eyes to probably look for the store from her own GS ID, it was known that cultivators who had crossed 2nd stage of cultivation won’t need to use talismans for opening the server, only Shen Yu was still using talisman.
“I can see several milk candies, star shaped, round ones, filled ones, which one do you need?” her mother still had her eyes closed, so she was still on server.
“Any one will do, maybe star shaped?”
Mother Shen nodded and after a while she opened her eyes, “I have ordered, they would arrive soon, maybe by evening, since it is a night store.”
Shen Yu tried to send her a smile, which came out a bit weird, but mother Shen loved it all the same. Her poor baby, had to suffer so much, he couldn’t even smile now. Her heart hurt but she didn’t complain, things would get better, she would make sure of it.
~~
It was evening when the order arrived, it was a small packet of 20 candies, all wrapped in shimmery white wrappers that glowed on closer inspection. Small letters were printed on them, Kitten24 Milk Candy – yummy.
Shen Yu took the candy packet and hid it in his drawer, only keeping one piece for himself, which he decided he would eat after dinner.
Dinner time arrived soon and after eating in his own room, Shen Yu waited for Shen Meng, at the same time chewed on his candy with relish. Although it didn’t feel as sweet as before, but he loved it all the same, maybe the clan changed the ingredients over time.
A knock was heard and Shen Yu stood up to open the door, his room was a well-insulated space, so he wasn’t worried about their talk being heard. Around 7, Shen Meng had told him she would bring in some information about the MWI team, so Shen Yu waited for her before going to sleep.
“I found one which was easy to deal with,” she said, closing the door behind her and walking in with a white file in hand, “This is what they send me, a well written contract if you decide you need their services.”
Shen Yu read, [DARK HORSE MWI] on the file head, he hadn’t heard their name before but he was sure they were the cream of the crop. Shen Meng won’t give him shady names.
“They deal with intelligence, no shady work behind the scenes. No blood on their names. They only collect and part information which is relevant. They are very popular in the circle, but are well tempered, so you won’t find trouble with them.”
Shen Yu earnestly thanked his sister, to which she seemed bemused, “What are you thanking me for, just keep it, contact them with your private ID, they won’t snoop.”
“I will.”
“Okay, have a good night, don’t get in trouble, okay?”
Shen Yu nodded, and his sister left just as fast as she came.
Looking at the folder, Shen Yu sighed, he may have to keep awake the entire night to get through it, it looked to be a thick document.
~~
By the next day, Shen Yu had already done what was needed to be done for the contract. The fees they wanted was valuable information in return for their services, so Shen Yu had already thought of something, before contacting them early morning.
He used the talisman to have a private conversation with them.
[babykitten777: I have read the contract and completed the form, when do you want the full transaction?]
[DarkHorseMWI_staff09: Hello dear customer, we have read the contract and the transaction details, you can provide the full information after we have cleared our end of deal. You may proceed with what you want to know. In contract, you stated you required information about a transmigrator’s pattern of selecting their mission world. Please explain your target and specific details.]
[babykitten777: When will I get back the information I want? It is urgent.]
[DarkHorseMWI_staff09: By the earliest, depending on what information you require. It is estimated to take 12 hours at most if information is easy to get.]
[babykitten777: I want to know what mission world Transmigrator Hunter would be taking next. The estimate probability of his choice would do.]
Shen Yu noticed that it took some time for the next response to come.
[DarkHorseMWI_staff09: It is easy to get the whereabouts of Code Name Hunter, currently, several teams are after him. He is a special case even in our base. But his next mission world target is very difficult to get. He is sporadic, he doesn’t choose a mission world on any one selective criterion. He may even pick them at random.]
[babykitten777: So, you can’t do it?]
[DarkHorseMWI_staff09: No, we can do it, but the information for transaction would have to be doubled. We are not expensive; your target is just very sporadic and we have to invest man power in this. We would even need to contact several other agencies. Or if push comes to shove; we may even ask him directly. But we won’t disappoint you.]
[babykitten777: You can ask directly?] Shen Yu was impressed, he never knew this was possible, but even if it was, he didn’t know whether Kai would give an accurate answer… to a mere stranger. And Shen Yu wasn’t going to ask Kai personally, he just didn’t want to… he felt repulsed just thinking about it. That Kai bastard was annoying.
[DarkHorseMWI_staff09: He may deceive us if we ask directly, so we keep that for the last option.]
[babykitten777: Okay, I will do my part, I have two types of information, both are about my clan. One is regarding my clan’s operation on planet M13 and another is regarding Shen Clan’s Council Head. Will it suffice?]
[DarkHorseMWI_staff09: Yes, if it is a secret information, we can exchange it.]
[babykitten777: okay, I will await a positive response.]
Shen Yu sighed and leaned back on his bed, he closed the portal screen and looked out the window. It will soon be time for his morning walk.
Нормально ли для него торговать внутренней информацией клана? Это потому, что у него нет чувства близости с ними из-за их отношений? Ему просто все равно или он ожидает, что эта информация нанесет вред основному филиалу, если она станет известна?
that info is basically the start of his revenge
Which one is he? 😩🤔🤔
If you loathed someone to the core, you would do anything to avoid getting close, appearing in the line of sight… avoid the person favourite food, take mission far away from the person.
The way Shen Yu did it as if he hated the guy so much that the guy was in his every waking core that he felt he could not be detached from the person and his heart beats every second just to get close to that person…
What iz dis? Love-hate relationship?
Is he what? Super yandere?
I don’t think he hates Hunter. He said he hated Hunter so he wouldn’t be punished by his father and his clan. I think he admired him a lot, if not liked him already.
