Trafford's Trading Club

Sometimes she laughed and sometimes she was frightened; sometimes she would glaze over and sometimes her eyes rolled; also, she sometimes couldnʼt distinguish who she was, and sometimes wished herself to be some specific person.

Finally, she stopped moving, and standing here like a sculpture. She even gave others the feeling that she could keep standing there forever.

The little girl looked at her and felt scared. She tried to plucked the skirt of the beautiful sister and her body leaned against her leg.

Her leg was very cold.

Arex closed his eyes at this time. He seemed to be listening and revealing a satisfactory expression... what was he listening to?

Luo Qiu tried to figure it out.

Suddenly he felt that Arex was like a mirror, who seem to show some parts of himself.

Just like the appearance he revealed when he saw a beautiful color. Luo Qiu couldnʼt help controlling his curiosity, just like the first time he walked into the club.

He slowly closed his eyes; because he knew he would hear it.

”Itʼs not polite to interrupt other peopleʼs enjoyment.”

That was Arexʼs voice, ”Though you are strong enough that I canʼt even stop everything that happened; however, I thought you should not be interested in them like the former boss.”

Luo Qiu slowly opened his eyes and smiled. He glanced at her, who was still standing there, then sat down again and pointed at the seat beside and said, ”Take a seat.”

Suddenly the little girl looked up but soon she felt sleepy and then closed her eyes.

”Finally, we can talk, but may I have a good meal before that?”

”Yes, please.”

Arex walked to her, with both eyes emitted a slight hint of purple gleam.

He seemed to be swallowing something from the girl, which had Luo Qiu become more curious... That thing not something good to her; rather, he was devouring the harmful stuff in the girlʼs body.

Arex was eating her nightmare.

”Arex was a Yumekui(Dream-Eating Tapir), he might be the last existing Yumekui.” The servant girl whispered at Boss Luoʼs ear.

Like Brubov, Luo Qiu was not surprised that You Ye would know the secret---because he was one of the clubʼs customer before.

Unexpectedly, Arex suddenly turned around and corrected, ”Itʼs not exactly true, Miss You Ye. Iʼm not the last one, but the last one and a half. Because Iʼve been working hard for collecting the transaction fee in order to get a peer from your club. Since I already have this thought, isnʼt there another half existing in the world?”

ʼ... You are the customer, as long as you are happy.ʼ

Luo Qiu thought.

However.

ʼDoes a Yumekui only eat a humanʼs nightmare, but leave their good dreams...?ʼ

A slight smile gradually showed on her face. She even closed her eyes, her face became unruffled and then fell into Arexʼs arms.

…

…

After putting down the girl on the couch and having her fall asleep, Arex sat down in front of Luo Qiu.

A feeling of satisfaction could still be seen on his face, after enjoying the meal.

Suddenly as if remembering something, he took out a black envelope, ”By the way, what about taking it as the transaction fee? Iʼve told this beautiful servant girl that I will pay for the meal.”

You Ye received the envelope from Arex, and then brought it to her master. Luo Qiu didnʼt take it over, but took a glance at it, then turned to Arex, ”We didnʼt do anything.”

”Yes, you did.”

Arex chuckled, ”The club owner looks like a mirror and will expose the sin and desire in oneʼs heart. Boss Luo Qiu didnʼt do anything actively. However, being with you let me skip some troubles.”

Luo Qiu nodded, ”So you deliberately brought the lady... borrowing my powers?”

”Once upon a time, Mr. Arex would always sent people around our club, when he met something he wanted to eat but was not willing to take action himself. Of course, he paid every time.” You Ye explained.

Why did Luo Qiu think it looked like this guy took materials to the restaurant, and he had turned into a chef who had to cook for this customer?

Arex smiled, ”Itʼs just an accident for me to meet this lady on the road... at dinner time. In fact, I just wanted to bring a message to Boss Luo.”

”Message?” Luo Qiu gave a start.

It was impossible for someone around him to bring a message through Arex--- of course, as the club boss.

That was to say, it was about the other identity of him.

”Who?”

”The former boss.”

”Tell me about it.”

Arex praised, ”Boss Luo Qiu is much calmer than I thought. I thought you would be more astonished.”

Luo Qiu said indifferently, ”When I was in Moscow, I met an old customer, who sent me this lake villa, even if he gave it to You Ye, but...”

Luo Qiu glanced at You Ye, ”I think it is too quiet here, and I realize that the former boss will be comfortable staying here. The old customer gave him this house... Perhaps, they might have a talk before, and that gentleman copied it down quietly… and has long since prepared this house.”

Luo Qiu smiled and said, ”As time goes, my prediction will be more and more precise. And so would the former boss, who used to be in my current position for longer time than me… therefore, it wonʼt be an astonishing matter if he had a presentiment that I will come here, and ask someone to give a message to me. Besides…”

Luo Qiu asked, ”Did someone tell Mr. Arex this address? It seems to be like that.”

After Arex heard it, he suddenly asked and skipped the answer, ”Can we have a talk alone?”

”Is it the customerʼs request?” Luo Qiu indifferently asked.

”No ...” Arex squinted eyes while saying, ”I just think it would be better. Doesnʼt Boss Luo Qiu think that itʼll be better to have a private conversation?”

”Master, I will go to prepare the bedsheets for you.” Miss Maid softly said near Luo Qiu.

”No,” Luo Qiu shook his head, ”You can join the conversation, he doesnʼt want you to leave us alone.”

”Alas...” Arex sighed, and said reluctantly, ”Thatʼs why Iʼm not willing to deal with the club owner, because Iʼm totally transparent in front of the club owner, and will be seen through.”

Arex suddenly came closer while saying this; he looked carefully at Luo Qiu and asked, ”Wonʼt it be very boring? I mean you could know whatever you want to know?”

”What did the former boss want to tell me?” Luo Qiu asked back with no answer to the question.

”First, to give this envelope to you.” Arex smiled, ”So the transaction fee I gave you is actually the reward I earned, Boss Luo wonʼt mind it right?”

Boss Luo nodded without any reply... this guy didnʼt have to pay that. Because they didnʼt obey the rules of trade all through the course.

”Second, he said...” Arex recalled it, as if falling into puzzlement.

He said slowly, ”... do not try to peep at the future.”

Do not... peep at the future?

…

…

After a long time of silence, Luo Qiu nodded.

He didnʼt judge the message, but only grabbed that black envelope, saying calmly, ”Thanks.”

”In addition.”

Luo Qiu went on asking him, ”Where did you meet him?”

”By coincidence, I met him in Vatican.” Arex shrugged his shoulders, ”But I feel that itʼs more likely that he was waiting for me there and requested me to finish it. But I think you wonʼt find him even if you go there.”

Luo Qiu couldnʼt find the former boss, really.

Indeed, like the texts he found in the former bossʼs room, the price of getting the entire intelligence would be very high and one had to pay an enormously high cost to master the whereabouts of the former boss.

He couldnʼt get knowledge about the former boss except from You Ye.

”Howʼs he doing?”

Luo Qiu looked forward to get the answer; he felt that it might be a conundrum that the former boss set for him.

What would happen if he tried all his ways to find the former boss according to the club intelligence?

”Heʼs getting older.”

Arex closed his eyes and said, ”He spoke to me while his lifespan was passing fast. Aging, weakening, dying, and disappearing...”

Arex suddenly opened his eyes and smiled.

He stood up, wearing his hat while walking towards the big leather suitcase to carry it.

Once again, he made an exaggerating bow for appreciation, like what he did as he came first, saying slowly, ”Then, thank you for your welcome. Iʼm continuing my travels. Hopefully I can afford to purchase something in Boss Luoʼs club when we next meet.”
