The Mighty Mage novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: White-Eyed Wolf?

After all from the start, even though Lin Qing scolded her harshly she(Lin Qing) didn’t scam her(the receptionist) any money, so why was Gu Jin so hellbent on making them pay?

"Because such people can only behave when they lose money. Don’t you think that they were acting too weirdly?"

"Hm? What do you mean?" The receptionist was taken aback by Gu Jin’s words.

"That lady dared to slap you because she knew that her husband would protect her. They used a carrot-and-stick approach.

If I didn’t interfere by the time that lady’s husband arrived you would have been slapped already."

The receptionist couldn’t help but gasp,

"Ho...how is this possible? I think that the man is quite gentle...."

"That is the point that man is pretending to be gentle. A real gentle person would never let an unreasonable person like his wife go ahead of him knowing that he wants important information..."

"But...but what would they get after hitting me? Won’t it be bad for them in the end?"

"Their plan was quite simple.

They would hit you so that you will be scared and angry, then the man with console you and act all gentle and kind, which will give you the impression that he is gentle, in return when you report this incident you would subconsciously pity him for having a unreasonable wife at the same time, you will feel that he is very gentle."

The receptionist’s eyes widened a little because she realized that Gu Jin was right!

That is what she thought earlier other than feeling uncomfortable...

Gu Jin left after dropping the line,

"Don’t be a pushover in front of such people."

The receptionist nodded and once again she vowed to be good to Gu Jin!

Intelligent people were always able to look through what ordinary people don’t even understand.

He understood the plan even though it was his first meeting with those people!

(Author: Gu Jin is disgusted as a young man.)

The receptionist suddenly ran behind Gu Jin and said,

"Young wait."

When Gu Jin stopped, the receptionist said,

"Even though it is not allowed to tell this, since you have helped me so much I will tell you, that our elders will most likely require another month or two before they come out of their seclusion."

Gu Jin thanked her and the receptionist waved her hand,

"No need! No need! I was impressed by your intelligence."

Saying so the receptionist left with a blush on her face.

Gu Jin on the other hand had a different perspective.

She wasn’t intelligent...

It was just what she had experienced for 1 year and gradually realized the pattern...

In her previous life when her father and mother died, her mother’s best friend came daily to console her.

At first, Gu Jin didn’t pay attention to her.

But as the pressure from the organization was increasing and her grandfather was in a coma too, Gu Jin was hardly able to deal with all the harsh comments and malicious gaze.

Gu Jin could still remember her 7-year-old self.

Even though she was just 7, she had to deal with those old fogies, deal with assassination attempts, harsh comments and physical abuse.

Since those ambitious people who wanted to take the entire organization in their control, couldn’t harm her directly, they asked their children to gang up.

And the leader was her mother’s best friend’s daughter...

That girl was vicious to the bone, she would ask 5 teenagers to hold Gu Jin and 5 to beat her, while the other 5 would keep an eye on the situation.

At that, the time bodyguards hired by Gu Jin’s parents too turned a blind eye to this regular day beating...

Even though there were still various people who were loyal to Gu Jin, otherwise Gu Jin wouldn’t have been able to hold her position, those people too couldn’t stay with Gu Jin all the time.

And even if Gu Jin deliberately stayed with them, at some point they would have to leave her.

Gu Jin wanted someone’s support, and that was when her mother’s best friend came into the picture.
