Chapter 56 (1/2)

“These people are crows!”

“Why are they called crows?” David asked in puzzlement.

“They are not genuine hunters. They only dare to take action on the edges of the city where they rely on the defenses put up by the city to hunt the larvae of Bugs. They want to make profits, but they don’t want to take any risks, just like carrion-eating crows!” Jim explained with a hint of disdain on his face.

David glanced and scanned those people called ‘crows’. He only realized that there were all sorts of people among the crowd when he got closer. They were all looking at David with a menacing gaze.

However, David did not fear them at all. To him, they could not give him much pressure.

The Shadow Servant was currently above his head and observing everything around. As long as those people dared to take action, he would not mind dealing with them and showing them the power of a Level 2 Longsword.

Of course, at a spot that was not far away from them, there was a military heavy machine that was rather close to the wall. Hence, no one there dared to make a move.

While David was walking, a middle-aged man in a tattered uniform happened to turn around and spilled his glass of water all over David’s body.

“Excuse me, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” the middle-aged man frantically apologized with a smile, seemingly having not expected that.

“Be careful!” Jim turned around and answered with a frown.

“Forget it!” David patted his body to get rid of the water. Due to the chilly weather, he was wearing thermal undergarments. As such, only his jacket got wet. He was not too affected.

However, the powerful Mental Energy made him feel that the water reeked of an unknown odor. After sensing it carefully, he still could not figure out what it was.

He did not take it to heart either because it was just a small matter.

Jim arrived at the gate and used his identity bracelet to contact the people inside. Afterward, a small door next to the steel gate was opened, and the three of them walked in.

As they walked through the small door, David saw a deep steel tunnel that passed through the city wall. At the end of the tunnel, they would get a view of the outside of the city.

The tunnel had the same size as the gate. It also had a uniform height and width of 10 meters.

A military heavy-armored hovercar was parked at the exit of the tunnel, and two heavy machine guns were mounted on top of the heavy-armored hovercar.

“Jim, hurry and come over, we’re waiting for you!” a young man who was donning a military combat uniform called out with a wave of his hand.

“This is Daley. Daley, this is David. Well, you know who Maron is!” Jim waved and introduced everyone after he walked towards them.

“Maron, what’s that big guy you’re carrying? Do you know how to use it? Do you want me to teach you?” Daley said jokingly as he laughed and patted Maron on the shoulder.

“Daley, I will show you how I use it!” Maron answered as he twisted his shoulders.

“David, you’re so famous. The number of armorers who have died at the doorstep of your home is greater than the number of armorers that die in the wild in a year!” Daley said as he turned to David again.

David pursed his lips. As expected, the people who hung out with Jim were rather similar to Jim in terms of personality.

“Stop talking, let’s get out of town before those crows do. Otherwise, we’ll be really annoyed with them!” Jim called out to them as he jumped onto the heavy-armored hovercar.

David and the others jumped into the hovercar as well. At this moment, David finally realized that there were two other people in the hovercar. The one in the driver’s seat was a stern-looking sergeant while the other person was in a white trench coat and long boots. He did not look like he was going out of town at all. He seemed more like he was going to a cocktail party.

The man had long, shoulder-length hair, and a handsome face. If it weren’t for his distinctly masculine features, David would have thought that he was a woman.

“Jim, what’s De Quincy doing here?” Maron asked in disgruntlement as soon as he saw that man.

“Maron, Pelan City is not large in the first place. Let’s leave the official matters to the adults to handle. Don’t let there be a rift between us anymore!” Jim said nonchalantly.

“Maron, if you have the guts, let’s compete and see who kills more Bugs!” De Quincy said with a chuckle.

“Game on!” Maron answered with confidence. He hugged the rifle case in his arms tightly.
