C43 (1/2)

The two of them were preparing to go back when a noise suddenly came from the front, it just so happened to be right in front of Mercenary Union, and normally it would be noisy like this, so people who passed by wouldn't be surprised, Ge Yan subconsciously looked over, but just as he was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure.

”It's that person, the one called Frank.” Ge Yan suddenly grabbed Rex's arm excitedly.

Rex subconsciously wanted to struggle free. He was not used to people touching him, but in the end, he endured it and followed his gaze. Sure enough, at the Mercenary Union entrance, he saw the Frank who escaped from his hands.

Compared to the person who was in high spirits back then, Frank was now in a more miserable state. He looked like a withered figure, like two people with a layer of dark haze covering their foreheads, and their entire bodies looked very gloomy. It had only been a few days, not even a month, yet he had fallen into this state.

Ge Yan was originally thinking about how to deal with this person. Seeing his miserable side, he immediately felt that even if they didn't come out, this person would not be able to threaten them.

Frank was an arrogant person, but this was because he was talented and had power, thus, for the past thirty years, his life had gone smoothly, and the people around him had also followed his lead. This made him feel extremely superior, but ever since he went to Tasha Forest, his life seemed to have suddenly turned a corner, and an earth-shattering change happened in an instant.

When his companion in Tasha Forest died was a friend's brother, his friend knew that his brother had died and accused him of bringing him back but did not bring him back, in order to sever all relations with him, and even instigated others to target Frank. Frank was arrogant, but in his heart, he had never treated them as true friends, and he even thought that it was better this way.

At that time, he already knew that the two Mercenary Regiment, Crow and Black Wolf, had not found the Shadow Winged Tiger, and was sure that the young Holy Beast would definitely land in the hands of Rex and Ge Yan. Although he did not know who they were, he could sell them the information.

However, when he left Tasha Forest, he discovered that Black Crow had already left Triese Town and Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment had also left. It was said that he was preparing to return to the Capital, so he chased after them, and after finally reaching Ma Nan City, he heard that they had gone to Magic Beast Forest, so Frank did not dare go to Magic Beast Forest alone.

This wait was enough to cause trouble again.

Frank discovered that there was a problem with his body. Every time he circulated the Qi in his body, he would feel a bit of obstruction, and as time passed, the obstruction would become more and more clear. Frank finally started to panic, he found a mage who was good at healing, and asked him to check if there was anything wrong with his body.

He could not help him and Frank had to look for someone to think of a way. In the end, he was targeted, and the other party used the excuse that he had met with similar situations to deceive him, causing Frank to be anxious to solve his problem, to be duped without any further confirmation. All the gold coins he had were tricked by the other party, and then he disappeared.

Frank who had nowhere to go could not even eat three meals, so he could only come to Mercenary Union to earn money from missions. But before receiving the missions, he had already angered the infamous Earth Scorpion Mercenary Regiment.

The Earth Scorpion was a third-rate Mercenary Regiment, and their leader was called Lauren. It was a Advanced Swordsman, and his greatest ability was to bully the weak, mainly staying in Sage City, and often staring at the weaker adventurers, especially those who exposed his wealth. Although Frank was almost full from three meals, he paid a lot of attention to his appearance, and just like that he was being targeted.

If it was in the past, Frank wouldn't need to be afraid of a third-rate Mercenary Regiment, but the present was different from the past.

Seeing Lauren's boorish face revealing a naked extortion and the expressions of the spectators watching with rapt attention, Frank felt slightly humiliated. However, after considering the strength of both sides, he chose to compromise.

”I don't have any gold coins on me, but I have a way for you to get a lot of gold coins. However, you can't let anyone else know about this, otherwise it'll be useless.” Frank said in a low voice.

”Is that true?” You can't be trying to lie to laozi, right? ” Lauren coldly snorted.

A look of disgust flashed past Frank's eyes, and he said impatiently: ”Since it's like this how can I lie to you? This method is only known to me, and there is no need to pay any price.

Lauren was still half believing and half doubting, but he guessed that he wouldn't be able to overturn any big waves, so he let his subordinates take him and leave the Mercenary Union's gate first.

Outside the crowd, Ge Yan did not hear their soft conversation, but his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good thing. Maybe it was related to them, so before he could even open his mouth, he heard Rex say ”Follow”.

Lauren brought Frank to an alley where no one else had walked in and asked his subordinates to release Frank. With a rough voice, he said, ”You can say it now.”

Frank rubbed his shoulders and spat in his heart, only then did he tell Su Yun about the Holy Beast's cub. However, he was smart enough to keep it a secret, ”As long as you tell this news to the crow Mercenary Regiment, for the sake of that cub, they will definitely agree to this deal.”
