"Basha, coffee, oh right, Karun, what do you want to drink?"

"I already have something." Karun picked up the glass he had placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa earlier.

"I'll refill your glass, the ice cubes are melting." Basha said with a smile.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Basha walked out of the office.

"Come, sit down, Karun."

Piyajie pulled the office chair out from behind and came to the side of the table to sit down.

Karun sat down opposite him, and they were only separated by a table leg, not a whole table.

"When we were in Roja City, I remember you mentioned that you had plans, but I didn't expect you to come to York City so soon."

"Isn't it normal for 90% of Rui Lan's young people to think that their future stage is in Wein? I came here, isn't that normal?"

"No, you're different." Piyajie shook his head. "Many young people in Rui Lan carry an unrealistic and illusory Wein dream in their hearts. They are really naive and innocent. You must have a clear reason to support your decision to come here."

"My girlfriend is from Wein." Karun said.

"Oh, right, Miss Eunice, I remember meeting her at your house. She's a beautiful and gentle lady."

"Yes, I came to Wein because of her."

"That's great, that's great." Piyajie reached into a drawer and pulled out a small black briefcase while saying, "Although I know you're lying to me, I'll pretend to believe you."

"Lying to you?"

"Yes, when you really love someone, do you know what your gaze towards her looks like? I know you have a good impression of Miss Eunice, but at that time, you definitely didn't reach the point of coming to Wein alone just for her."

"Feelings can grow."

"It's hard to truly love someone. When I say love, I mean the kind of madness I have for Linda, or the kind of craziness that is performed on a comedy stage. You're too mature for your age, and at the age when you should believe in love and pursue it, you seem too rational."

Well, Piyajie, who wasn't entangled in the topic of "Linda's return" or "Linda left me," was really a thoughtful person.

"So, you came to find me." Piyajie opened the briefcase and took out a check, saying, "Do you need money?"

"Sort of."

"How much do you need? I'll fill it out for you."

"I need a job."

Piyajie's hand holding the pen paused for a moment and said, "Oh, I see."

At this moment, Miss Basha knocked on the door and came in, putting a cup of coffee in front of Piyajie and a new glass of ice water in front of Karun before leaving.

Piyajie picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, saying, "Do you want to work for me?"

"Is that possible?"

"Of course, of course." Piyajie smiled. "My clinic has just opened, and although a large portion of my clients are those who think it's fashionable to have some psychological problems and go to the opera on weekends, there are also some who really have serious psychological problems that need timely treatment. I have enough of those 'doctors' who have read a few books and only have half-baked knowledge but can talk. So, I really need your help.""What about a monthly salary of 10,000 RMB, excluding commission?"

"Isn't that too high?" Karun said, "It's not necessary to be so generous."

"It's just the normal market price. We operate by appointment, and you don't even have to come to the clinic to sit in. The secretary will make an appointment for you at least one day in advance."

"Okay."

"Is it settled then?"

"It's settled."

"Good." Piajie stood up, holding his coffee and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. "Karun, how do you like the view here?"

"It's very good, very charming."

"This office is okay for you. I usually only have formal meetings with clients here. When I see patients, I work in another small office. This space is too big and too complex. When real patients sit here and chat, they will feel insecure."

"It's okay, you're the boss."

"Between us, there's no need to be so polite."

"You said it's not suitable for work here. The background color of my workspace should be black."

"Okay, I'll have Bertha arrange for the renovation as soon as possible."

"Just wallpaper will do, no need to make it too complicated."

"Oh, by the way, where do you live now?"

"In an apartment in the Blue Bridge community."

"I don't know that place, so it must be far away."

"It's a bit far."

"Why don't we arrange a new place for you under the name of the clinic? Or just live with me, I also live alone."

"No need, I prefer my current place."

"Do you live with Miss Eunice?" Piajie asked with a smile.

"You just invited me to live with you, what do you think?"

"Hahaha, I found that my question was off-topic, so I'll round it up. So, my good friend Karun, who came to Vienna for Miss Eunice, has now separated from her?"

"Yes."

"I think you want to tell me a story about loving the rich and despising the poor, but I hope you stop."

"Okay, then I'll change the subject."

"Well, it's lunchtime. Let's have lunch together. There's a good restaurant nearby called Rui Lan. I think it's pretty good."

"If I have to work tomorrow, I want to go back and tidy up. I need to buy two more work clothes that are suitable and have softer colors."

"Hehe, you dare to refuse the boss's lunch invitation before even starting work."

"I'm not a female employee, so I don't have any psychological burden in refusing the boss's lunch invitation. Besides, the difference between Rui Lan and Vienna dishes in my area is that one is called bad and the other is called very bad. When you have time or when the clinic is on vacation, come to my place and I'll cook for you."

"Oh, right, I remember you're very good at cooking. I'm looking forward to it. By the way, your clothes are a work expense, keep the receipts, the clinic will reimburse you. Also, keep receipts for your daily expenses, and we'll reimburse them together."

"Thank you, but that's not necessary."

"Well, anyway, if there's anything I can help you with, just ask. What is a true friend?""A true friend will only make you happy by helping you with anything, without caring about gains or losses."

"I can feel that, thank you, Piajie."

Karun stood up and prepared to leave. When he walked to the door of the office, Piajie spoke again from behind:

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

"What is it?"

"Never mind, it's not urgent. I want you to help me with some counseling, but it can wait until after I taste your cooking at your home."

"Are you okay?" Karun asked.

"I've been keeping busy lately, the problem is still there, but I can temporarily shift my focus. I chose Basha as my personal secretary to tell myself not to avoid the problem."

"I'm worried it will worsen the problem," Karun said.

"Just because she looks like Linda? Ha, come on, how could that be possible? My love for Linda goes straight to the soul, not just the body."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Karun walked out of the office. Alfred was sitting on the chair outside, reading the newspaper. When he saw Karun come out, he stood up and followed him.

Basha was about to personally see Karun off, but she saw the phone on her desk ringing. She instructed another secretary to help the client and walked into the office.

"Karun will come to the clinic to work tomorrow, please arrange it," Piajie said.

"Okay, boss. I'll call Mr. Karun back to do the induction materials."

"No need to trouble him. His physician rating in the clinic is the same as mine. You can just make up the rest of the information."

"Okay, boss. And the surname..."

Piajie stroked his chin and said, "Just make up any name."

"Okay, boss. I can tell that you and Mr. Karun were definitely good friends before."

"Of course. I believe that if you get to know him more, you will also find his charm. But he has a girlfriend, or rather, a fiancée, and they seem to have some problems now. But you still have a chance."

"Really? That's great news. I'll tell the female employees and physicians in the clinic."

"Oh, no. Everyone will lose focus on work. Also, recommend some clients to him according to my requirements. His abilities are not inferior to mine."

"Okay, boss."

"And give me some lunch."

"Please wait, boss."

Basha left the room.

Piajie moved his chair back to the desk and opened the drawer on his left, which contained many photos, mostly of him and Linda.

Looking at these photos, Piajie's face showed a warm smile.

Until the last photo was picked up, his smile gradually became serious.

"You missed the appointment," Piajie said.

"I've been waiting for you to come to me recently, but why didn't you come? Instead, Karun came to me."Piajie picked up the second glass of ice water that Karun didn't drink and took a big sip, continuing to talk to himself:

"Unfortunately, I don't know your name or your identity, but there has always been a voice telling me that I will meet you here, in your hysterical state; and you will lead me into a new world, a world that Linda has always longed for."

Piajie closed his eyes and saw the image of Linda flying into the sky and the female giant on the sky curtain. He crossed his hands and placed them on his chest.

What kind of charm do you have that Linda is willing to leave me to pursue you?

"Praise... Rierlsa?"

The background of the photo was a coffee shop, with three people holding coffee cups in the photo: middle-aged Bede, young Linda... and young Piajie.

Basha instructed another secretary to order lunch from the Rulan restaurant for the boss and then went to the bathroom.

The bathroom was located on the outskirts of the clinic, and there was a relatively open area outside the door. Basha walked to an open window and let the wind from the tall building blow her hair. Then she silently took out a box of cigarettes, picked one up, and lit it.

The smoke she exhaled was blown back by the wind and hit her face, but she enjoyed the feeling of the wind brushing against her face.

In her mind, a scene from the office earlier appeared:

"Listen, I hope you can sober up now, and I hope you know what you're doing now..."

On the sofa, Karun grabbed her hand and his warning words echoed in her ear again.

Has he seen through my identity?

Is he advising me to wake up and turn back?

Basha looked at the city buildings and traffic between the buildings with regret, sympathy, and concern in her eyes. She took another puff of the cigarette and carefully reviewed Karun's facial expressions in her mind.

Is he sympathizing with me?

No, maybe he is sympathizing with us?

At this time, a female security guard from the clinic walked up behind Basha. There were many female clients in the clinic, so the number of female security guards was the same as that of male security guards to deal with some situations more conveniently.

"Rebecca, have you observed his follower?" Basha asked.

"Your Excellency, I have observed him, but I cannot see through him."

"Can't see through him?"

"He has the aura of a demon and the aura of a believer. He may be a demon, a priest, or even just a very charismatic male follower."

"Would a very charismatic man be willing to be a follower?" Basha asked back.

"It's my ability that's the problem."

"No, it's not your problem. That young man is not simple."

"Is he someone sent by another church?"

"Probably not. If he were sent by another church, we wouldn't have the chance to stand here and talk now," Basha said. "He seems to have come specifically for Piajie, and he and Piajie should be true friends.""Is it... perhaps, other forces have also noticed Mr. Piajia? He may have the same purpose as us."

"I think things may not be so complicated, but we need to observe further. Even if he is the boss, he is not a simple person. Even though I look almost like his deceased wife, he still treats me as ordinary."

"I previously suggested to the envoy not to make it so complicated and to use your original appearance instead. The effect may be better. Not all men will endlessly miss their deceased wives and want to find a replacement. In fact, most men in the world will get tired and want to change their taste."

"Smack!"

A slap mark appeared on the face of the female security guard Rebecca.

Bersha looked at her and said seriously, "You are not allowed to speak ill of Mr. Piajia."

"Yes, my lord, I was wrong."

"Let's continue to wait. I don't think the guidance of the Altar of Light will be wrong. The opportunity for the revival of Light is here, a being who may rise and inherit the opportunity of the Wall God religion. The guidance of the Altar of Light must be him. The opportunity of the Wall God religion should also become the opportunity of my Altar of Light. Let's continue to wait here. Anyway, we have been waiting for a long, long time. It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer. By the way, has the notice for the new gathering been sent out?"

"In response to the envoy, it has already been sent out."

"Nothing unexpected happened, right?"

"There was an accident. Two messenger crows did not return. According to memory tracing, one crow was trapped by someone using magic."

"What about the other one?" Bersha asked.

"The other one was caught by a cat. It was a true accident."

Bersha nodded. "Should the gathering still be held as scheduled?"

"As scheduled."

"But..."

"Light will assimilate and mix with other colors that attempt to enter. I hope they will try to participate, hehe."

"Yes, I understand."

"You can go and do your work. I'll smoke another cigarette."

"Envoy... is there anything else?"

"Doke Elder wants me to pass on a message."

"Heh, a warning, right?"

"Doke Elder's meaning is, you're not really falling for the boss, are you?"

"He is a very charming man." Bersha lit her second cigarette. "Isn't it normal to like him? Especially when he is treating guests, he is really charming. Also, I have a good impression of that mysterious Mr. Karun who will come to work tomorrow. He is handsome, charming, and deep. You don't need to monitor him anymore, so as not to cause side effects. I will personally meet him."

"Yes, but really no problem?"

"No problem. Mr. Karun seems to sympathize with our Altar of Light. He even advised me to wake up. I can feel that his gaze at that time was not false."

Rebecca whispered, "Light will always exist."

Bersha also echoed, exhaling a smoke ring, "Hmm, Light will always exist."

...

Exiting the elevator and coming outside the building, they got into a car parked on the side of the road."Young master, when I was waiting for you in the reception room just now, a female security guard in the clinic seemed to be paying extra attention to me."

"A female security guard? Maybe she has a crush on you."

"I don't think so. She used a low-level detection technique to scan me."

"As the father of Piajia, arranging a few low-level priests as his bodyguards in York City seems reasonable."

"But she scanned me once and left it at that. She actually came back for a second and third time..."

"Are you saying she discovered your identity as a demon?"

Alfred lowered his head and sniffed his arms, saying, "Young master, there's something I've only just noticed recently."

"Go on."

"After you and I arrived in Wien, especially these past few days since we left the Allen estate, I feel like the demon energy on me has become very faint."

"Did Puerh and Kevin mention this?"

"They've been with me all the time, so they might have overlooked this change. But when we get home later, I'll ask them to sniff me again for a formal confirmation. Anyway, I feel like the demon energy on me has become very faint, and instead, there's some other special energy..."

"Special energy?"

"Like the energy on those priests I've seen before. It's very serious, very strict, and very noble. Before, I used to look down on this kind of energy and think it was pretentious. But now, I seem to have this kind of energy on me."

Upon hearing this, Karun asked, "Are you saying that you've secretly joined another religion behind our backs?"

"No, absolutely not. I had no interest in the Order of the Gods when I worked under Lord Dis, and I would never secretly join another religion..."

Suddenly, Alfred froze, then his face lit up with joy as he shouted, "Yes, I have it!"
