After half an hour, Steve finally persuaded 15 Bandit Leaders to sell their Storage Rings to Leo. He then gathered them together and lead the way towards the White River City. He obviously can't just take their Storage Rings himself and promise him that he will return with 1,000 gold coins. They were Bandits. Hence such a thing is just not possible to happen.

All the Bandit Leaders brought many of their men with them just to have a sure guarantee that even if this turns out to be a trap, they will still have a chance to escape through the help of their men.

”Hey, isn't this the direction towards the White River City?” One of the Bandit Leaders asked in suspicion.

”Are you really not planning on setting all of us on a trap?” Another Bandit Leader suspiciously asked.

”I think he is!” A Bandit Leader directly assumed.

Steve's eyes were twitching in annoyance as he listens to their words. He turned around to look at them and said, ”Can you guys just trust me, even for one time?”

”Huh? Do you think we are fools here, Steve? We are all Bandit Leaders, so don't expect any of us to just simply trust each other, especially you, since I've heard you even betrayed Big Rat for a woman.”

”Indeed! I've worked really hard just to court that woman, yet you actually dare steal her from me? Tch, in the end, she still died on my hands!” Big Rat nodded his head in agreement.

”She should have long expected it already the moment she chooses to have a serious relationship with a Bandit, hahaha!”

”Damn, how I miss the taste of her body and the sound of her moaning every time I put mine inside. It's really unforgettable.”

”Indeed! Actually, everyone has tasted her at least one time, so why the heck did the two of you still decided to court her? Are you stupid or something, HAHAHAHAH!”

This time, it wasn't only Steve who's eyes were twitching in annoyance, even Big Rat was feeling the same. Well, what the other had said was indeed correct, if only they didn't try to be in a serious relationship with her, then they could have still been able to experience tasting her body and listening to her sweet moans every time they visited her in the White River pub.

Unfortunately, what's done is done...

Soon, Steve and the others finally arrived in an open field of the White River City as they then immediately saw Steve's two men kneeling on the ground with some unknown entities surrounding them.

Steve already expect how they would react, so without letting them say a single word, he quickly said, ”Trust me, this is not a trap. What I said to you guys before was indeed the truth. The only thing I didn't tell you is that he actually threatened me to tell you guys that he wants to buy Storage Rings. All in all, he won't harm you or even kill you. He's just here, to buy your Storage Rings, just like what we have agreed.”

Hearing Steve's words, the Bandit Leaders who were still planning to speak in order to tell all of their men to prepare for a battle immediately decided to stop.

”Are you sure?” Big Rat doubtfully asked.

”Yes, in fact, you can just stay here while letting one of your men go over there and hand him the Storage Ring. I'll stay here with you as well so that you will be able to easily kill me if everything turns out to be a trap.” Steve said before sitting crossed leg on the ground and not saying a single word anymore. He had already said his piece. Now it all depends on them whether they will believe him or not.

”I think this is indeed not a trap, so how about we just follow what he said?” Big Rat said as he finally believed that Steve wasn't really planning on setting them on a trap after seeing him voluntarily giving up his life if it really turns out to be one. ”Anyways, the forest is just behind us, so the moment the men we sent get killed, we immediately kill Steve and then run inside the forest in separate ways.”

”Okay!”

”Sounds fair to me!”

”No problem here!”

With that said and done, Big Rat and the other 14 Bandit Leaders sent one 'lucky' Bandit to Leo along with their Storage Rings.

Seeing this, Leo who has long noticed them smiled approvingly at how Steve handles the situation to persuade the others to still sell him their Storage Rings after finding the situation suspicious.

He might not be able to hear what they were saying, but just based on their body language alone, it was already very easy to understand what is currently going on.

Soon, 15 Bandits arrived in front of Leo. Their bodies were shaking in fear as they slowly handed to him with trembling hands the Storage Rings with them.
