HRPM – Chapter 124 Encountering a Master of Double-crossing (4)

“Heh, did I frighten you? My apologies. I shouldn’t have spoken of such horrifying things to a young lady. But don’t worry—they are only bones. The dead will never be as terrifying as the living.”

Those were all men who had fallen to his hand on the battlefield. Rather than let their corpses rot in the wilderness, he preferred to keep them as profound mementos, so he would forever remember those exhilarating days when blood stained the land.

Life in the capital was unbearably dull. The people there were obsessed with romance and idle pleasures, timid and hesitant. How could they compare to the hot-blooded passion and freedom of soldiers on the battlefield?

The women of the capital were even duller. Each one more delicate than a flower—beautiful, yes, but without spirit, incapable of stirring his interest.

He had heard Jin Luoluo was an extraordinary woman in the business world, yet hearing about skulls frightened her just the same. So this is the woman Xiao Yu praised so highly? In his eyes, she was nothing special.

Disappointed, he no longer had any interest in continuing the conversation.

“How fierce~~ Such a bloody hobby—I like it. Sir, you’re amazing. Most people wouldn’t even have the guts for that. I, Jin Luoluo, rarely admire anyone, but just for this uniquely bold hobby of yours, I’ve decided to admire you.”

Her voice was full of excitement. This man had the same hobby as her modern-day father—both were intensely fascinated by corpses, hair, and similar things.

Her father had been fascinated with ancient Egypt and had spent a fortune organizing a mummy exhibition.

She had even personally designed ornaments for the mummy to wear. What skulls had she not seen? She had even touched them herself.

“You’re not afraid of dead people’s skulls?” Xiao Luo’s spirits lifted at once. Ordinary women would turn pale with fright at the mention of skulls.

Not only had she shown no disgust, she had even praised his hobby as fierce and impressive. Xiao Yu had been right: What kind of woman is this?

“Hmph~~ They’re only skulls. Aside from ghosts, there’s nothing disgusting I haven’t seen. Invite me to see your collection sometime—I might even be able to give you pointers on how to make money from this bloody hobby of yours.”

“Jin Luoluo, you have not disappointed me. You truly are a woman full of surprises. Very good—I like this kind of personality. Take the ship. Whatever you intend to use it for, I won’t ask.”

“Oh no, I spent so long bargaining with you—did they fall into the river already?” Jin Luoluo cried out as she hurriedly rushed outside.
