A si breakfast

When Soran was about to head out, Vivian stopped him and fixed his sleeves, then climbed up onto the stool to tidy his collar They did not converse a lot as they fully understood one another Soran gently caressed her hair before leaving the house

“Br…… Brother!”

When Soran’s figure disappeared into the distance, Vivian locked the door and huddled on the bed

Soran had often gone out in a similar fashi+on before She would not feel afraid, as Heath was beside her at that time and would faithfully scare off anyone who dared to set their eyes on the little girl Burglars breaking into houses was a common occurrence in the slums Vivian was now alone at home, as Heath was now eternally at rest, and it was inevitable for her to feel a little scared

She was just an eight-year-old after all

She had always been scared of the dark and loneliness, as it gave her a sense of insecurity

But she could not tell that to Soran

She knew Soran had sos needed money, and only a little foodstuff remained

Vivian did not want to becoh there was a limit to her current capabilities, she still felt that she should not drag her brother down

“Vivian”

The girl held the broohtly in her hands and said to herself, “You er!

“You have to learn to take care of yourself!

“Big brother is noake No one would disturb us anymore because they’re afraid of brother!”

The docks

It was the most densely populated area in Amber City The entire econoate River which flowed by

Most of the males in the sluo shi+ps co froo, thus a lot of laborers were needed to o around It was also thefrooods by force to des could always find ways to earn yin the distance He immediately left some orders to the nearby men and walked toward Soran

“Soran, the head wants to see you!”

Soran lifted his head to look at the person standing in front of hiuy was

Gallas, a rather decent warrior

He was once an adventurer and tagged along with different groups Unfortunately, he ran into a group of gnoo Gnolls were dangerous creatures which roups and often attacked adventurers stealthily at night The adventurer group was almost annihilated, but luckily he was able to escape just in time Gallas was left with a serious injury on his arm and could not continue his career as an adventurer He soon joined a local gang and gave up his drea treasures fro from his looks and experience, Soran estimated that Gallas was a Level 10 Couards

“The head?”

Soran looked straight into Gallas’ eyes and shook his head, “The head’s dead

“He was killed by that damn wizard”

It was a mission they should never have accepted Not only did Soran fall into a co also died

Were wizards really that powerful?

All wizards who acted solo were past Grade 1 In tere/Level 5 Wizards

Even a squadron of professional soldiers ht lose in a battle with a wizard as above Grade 1, let alone a triad gang of thieves

Soran had personally witnessed the ht of those solo wizards If not for their physical weakness, it would undoubtedly be the most overpowered profession

In a world which was about to be thrown into a period of chaos, even people with Legendary professions ht be crushed like ants Soran could not be bothered with such a puny local gang when the world was about to turn into a living hell

“Soran”

Gallas looked back and slowly said, “Gale became the new head

“Decide for yourself if you want toperson”

Soran was a splendid thief, and all the gangs would not easily give up on getting their hands on such a great source of income

No one cared before as he was unconscious, and people thought he was probably going to die sooner or later Now that he had recovered fro over the famous thief

Soran could understand the threat behind Gallas’ words He squinted his eyes and gave off a slight killing intent in return

He was a rogue

Rogues were the assassins of the shadows They were erous than any other person

“It is nored Gallas and continued walking toward the docks

He still had things to do!

Soran acted weak in his previous gang, as he had to keep the e portion of his loot would be forcefully confiscated, and the siblings would only be left with barely enough money to live a siinal ‘Soran’ did not undergo proper co Even with extraordinary Dexterity, he was still weaker than most warriors who had been properly trained However, that was already in the past Soran was now a different person, and could easily defeat the brawny s with less than three moves
