Li Fan grinned and leaned close to the octopus head, sniffing, "You are... a 'Caster'?"
The octopus head placed his right hand over his heart and bowed slightly, "Oh no, no, I am merely a beginner in arithmetic, a humble mortal hidden in a shell."
Li Fan smiled and nodded.
So, a mortal unfazed by demons and corporations, huh... Impressive...
But this guy just mentioned 'shell,' right? He must be using that GHOSTSHELL electronic warfare device to hack into communication channels, a hacker? Could well be a clone too...
The woman on the other end of the microphone started screaming,
"Hey... hey hey! Wait! Just a minute! That's all you're asking for? Wealth and honor? Is that seriously your offer? Fine, fine! I have dealings with the Immortal Palace too! What about making a deal! I'll appoint you as an official! A marquis? No, no! A Grand Pillar of State! How does that sound! You can pick any of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers!
