The outer city of Chaos City.
entrance.
Widow Wang was sitting in a carriage drawn by a yellow horse.
Waited here early.
Widow Wang has been doing this kind of behavior once a day for half a month.
Today is a little different than before.
Just because today's Widow Wang has more delicate makeup on her face, and with her increasingly supple face, standing next to Hanks, it is very easy to be regarded as father and daughter...
It was a pity for Hanks that Widow Wang stood with him. Although they looked like father and daughter, she would not call him "Baba..."
Today's outer city of Chaos City has a lot more fireworks than a month ago as more and more wandering forces in the desert join in.
Not to mention anything else, the vendors who had set up stalls in the city since the orcs came here have left the city one after another and started setting up stalls in their old places outside the city.
In this month, a word has spread throughout the city: "The current city lords outside Chaos City are vassal forces of the desert orcs."
Therefore, when setting up a stall, you don’t have to worry about being troubled by desert orcs outside the city.
After all, they are now "a family..."
Not long after, several figures appeared in the desert in the distance.
In the carriage, Widow Wang opened her eyes with an expression of relief.
At the same time, his face looked a little weird, and he cursed secretly: "You bastard!"
…
"Young master, why do you pretend to be my father..."
"What? Are you not happy to see your father?"
"...My father has been dead for decades, how can I be happy?"
"That's not important, just tell me whether I look like me or not, right?"
"No, my dad is not that healthy."
"Huh? Old man, you called me a scumbag, right?"
Ankai turned around and pretended to hit Hanks. In the desert, the darker the skin, the healthier he is.
Hanks quickly apologized and even raised his arms to compare with An Kai.
This is used to prove that An Kai is much fairer than him.
Of course, Hanks also took the opportunity to pretend to be casual and exposed some scars on his arms...
Use this to show how difficult it is for this seven-nation trade trip...
How could An Kai not know what Hanks was thinking.
It’s nothing more than wanting to get more benefits.
"Now that you're back, hurry up and exchange my magic stones for me. Don't worry about losing some. You won't be short of taxes in the future!"
"Hehehe, I believe the young master will never forget me."
Hanks put down his sleeves with a cheerful smile on his face.
After receiving a positive answer, Hanks looked towards the entrance to the outer city of Chaos City, where there was a familiar carriage.
Then he stood there and said, "Master, what do you think of my appearance?"
An Kai was stunned for a moment, then looked at the entrance to the outer city of Chaos City and understood.
"You are so unlucky that you can still make her give up? Hanks, you old guy, have you practiced some evil magic?"
Hanks scratched his head and said nothing.
Walk towards the carriage.
Watching Hanks leave, An Kai said angrily: "Slow down, don't get so excited that you die."
"I don't have many years to live, and I don't know how to control myself!"
After muttering a few words, Ankai walked towards the city, ignoring Hanks and Widow Wang who had reunited after a long separation.
Having newly obtained the Wind Blade Technique, Ben thought of finding a target in Chaos City to test his power.
Just thinking that Hanks would be back soon, he followed the direction and met Hanks who was almost killed.
In real terms, it was the carriage of Widow Wang at the city gate that made Ankai make this subconscious decision.
He wanted to be aimless and find a random target, but when he saw Widow Wang's carriage, he suddenly remembered Hanks, whom he had almost forgotten...
After this battle,
An Kai has some new views on his own strength.
In the case of an unexpected sneak attack, as long as you strike first, [Wind Blade Technique] combined with [Fireball Technique] should be able to fight against powerful people of around fourth level and fifth level.
Of course, this strength is the average strength among the fourth and fifth levels, not those powerful perverted professionals...
An Kai's eyes flashed as he passed by the people setting up stalls at the city gate, thinking about the upcoming action...
"Milken, are those guys obedient?"
"Obey, there hasn't been anything unusual recently..."
"but…"
"explain!"
"Those imprisoned guys, because we have not touched them, they became arrogant and thought that we did not dare to touch them. Under the leadership of a guy, they began to stop cooperating with us."
Hearing what Malcolm said, An Kai thought of the 21 direct descendants of the Seven Kingdoms forces who were the first to be arrested by him...
He smiled coldly: "Not cooperating? It doesn't matter, they will have no chance to cooperate anyway."
Hanks has returned, and Ankai is ready to maximize the interests of these direct forces.
Then deal with those guys in the city who claim to be worshippers and guests...
…
Chaos City outer city, entrance.
Hanks stood in front of the carriage with some restraint...
Just when he didn't know how to speak, Widow Wang's taunting voice came from the carriage: "You old thing, why are you pretending to be a righteous person? Whether those residents have enough to eat or not is none of your business!"
"Why did you come back? Why didn't you die outside? You're old enough to learn to be a hero, bah!"
…
Widow Wang's mouth was like a machine gun, uttering sarcastic words one after another.
Hanks remained silent until Widow Wang paused, then he scratched his head and whispered: "Where's the 10% tax..."
"You sold yourself as soon as it became 100%?! The one who suffered a thousand cuts is using you as a slave!"
"A lot." Hanks corrected Widow Wang's words...
Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked softly: "He said you have been here for the past half month?"
"Fart! Do you believe what he said?"
"I'm in a bad mood, it's the first time I've come out today!"
"Hehehe...I believe it."
"Get up here and go home! I'm hot!"
"Okay!"
Hanks is getting stronger and stronger, he looks like he is old, but his legs and feet are very nimble. He jumps up and stands behind the yellow horse.
Waving the riding crop: "Drive!"
The old Hanks, driving a carriage pulled by an old yellow horse, rushed towards the city...
Halfway through the journey, Hanks suddenly said: "I have the final say tonight."
There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and Widow Wang muttered softly: "Just once."
…
Chaos City outer city, entrance.
Hanks just came into town.
Reed's foursome appeared, and as they watched the carriage leave them, Reed wailed: "Forgot us again!"
"Then...shall we go back?"
"Go, go, go! Go to hell, do you believe it or not? Go now, that old guy Hanks can scratch us alive!"
"Then...where should we go..."
Reed pondered for a moment: "Go find Polpi, that guy will definitely not mind our intrusion!"
"Hey! That guy Polpi has a lot of treasures..."
…
The next day.
When Hanks came to the Evergreen Gang station.
Ankai, Wayne, Malcolm and the monster Nurnasius are gathering in the courtyard.
Because An Kai's strength has improved, his understanding of the fourth level is not very clear.
Wayne, Malcolm and Nurnasius, two of them and one beast, are helping Ankai re-understand the fourth-level professionals.
Among them, most of the time it was Malcolm, the fifth-level [Assassin]
Guest] is talking.
Wayne echoed from time to time, and Nurnasius interjected from time to time: "Boss is awesome, boss, you are a gift from heaven, boss, you are different, you are a real genius!" and other words...
Hanks came here, took a look, and then stayed aside silently, preparing to hear what he also lacked.
Xu Shi muttered, and An Kai seemed tired of hearing it, so he asked casually: "Are you better at level 4?"
The fifth-level [Assassin] Malcolm was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and continued to explain: "Although I only have the first level of the fifth level, I can still deal with them easily. The fourth level..."
"Okay, okay, I get it." After Ankai heard that he was not as good as Malcolm, he waved his hand to indicate that Malcolm didn't need to continue talking.
He muttered softly: "Is the fifth level so weak?"
It seemed to be a low voice, but except for Wayne who couldn't hear it clearly because he didn't have the strength, the other two people present heard this sentence.
As a fifth-level [Assassin], it is no exaggeration to say that in this desert and the seven surrounding countries, no matter where he goes, he is the other party's guest!
Only here in Ankai...
He seems to have never realized the dignity of a fifth-level professional...
He comes and goes when he calls for it, and when he is in a bad mood, he will be scolded for no reason, although not as much as Nurnesius was scolded...
But he is fifth level, fifth level!
Malcolm blushed and didn't know how to respond...
This actually made Hanks on the side laugh. The fifth-level professionals were suffering from An Kai, so the frustrations he suffered before were nothing...
Unable to control himself, Hanks let out a chuckle...
However, before Malcolm could respond to his laughter, he was met with a counterattack from Nurnasius:
"You're still laughing? Haven't you realized something is wrong after all these years?"
Hanks was stunned. He always felt that what Nurnasius said next was definitely not a good thing...
"In our dragon clan, if a female dragon is not pregnant for a year, it will be defined as a dragon without the ability to give birth, and its female dragon will be reassigned!"
"Old man, don't you think about how many years you and that little bitch have been together? Have you given birth to any babies?"
Nurnesius grinned widely and finally said the words he had thought about for a long time to attack Hanks...
Hanks fell silent.
His silence was just like when Malcolm heard An Kai say that he was weak, the silence was deafening...
"According to research, age is also related to this. I have seen some analyses, saying that the older the man is..."
Wayne was about to explain the question raised by Nurnasius in a serious manner, but saw Hanks' face getting worse and worse, and finally couldn't hold it anymore: "Okay! Stop talking!"
"Huh? Why are you talking to His Highness? Watch your attitude! ...Wanted criminal!"
Without thinking, Malcolm glared directly at Hanks...
Hanks understood clearly that in this circle, he was the guy that everyone could bully.
Even that damn big rat was humiliating him!
But...what Nurnasius said was taken into heart by Hanks...
"Oh! Look, in our hometown we usually need help from others for this kind of thing. If not, you just...Oh!"
An Kai patted Hanks on the shoulder and said comforting words, which made Hanks even more worried...
"Okay, stop thinking about it, come with me, there is a deal that requires you to take action."
After the words fell, An Kai turned around and left.
Hanks, who had something hidden in his heart, followed An Kai...
Watching them leave, Nurnasius grinned happily.
For it, making Hanks uncomfortable is its greatest happiness. After all, in a sense, Hanks is its competitor.
Hanks followed An Kai all the way to a room that exuded a cold atmosphere.
Ankai nodded, and Malcolm stepped forward and pushed open the door, opening the room inside.
of persons exposed to incoming sunlight…
Standing in front of the door, An Kai smiled broadly, bathed in the sunshine, like a saint rescuing suffering. He pointed at the guys in the room and chuckled:
"How about this deal? A direct descendant of the noble forces from the Seven Kingdoms!"
