Chapter 45 (2/2)

“I just want to knohat are you afraid of”

His tone was indifferent, but his voice revealed a trace of ridicule

“Indeed, I adht be disbanded at the end of the year, but …”

Rhodes stretched out a finger

“Even if it did disband, it is soht? Who cares if we fail? Either we end up dead, or we disband This is the way of life for an ordinary mercenary How about you? Look at yourself now; even if we disband, you can just stroll back here and continue to live like this Or are you actually afraid of death?

The old man’s face darkened “Don’t think that you can provoke me with those words, lad”

“For so many years, I’ve seen many kinds of people I a deceived Both of you will surely fail, and naturally, I wouldn’t want any part of it”

“Sounds like a nice excuse” Rhode clapped his hands,him sarcastically

“When you abandoned Wind Glory, did you use this sa Rhode’s words, the old rily, startling the poor Lize

“They abandonedat all, don’t go flapping your gums as if you do!”

As usual, Rhode kept up his nonchalant de like a victied at the old man and continued, “but what qualifications do you have to coave you the opportunity, what did you do? Look at yourself now, living out life like a wounded jackal, afraid ofout from your nest You are afraid Face it; you’ve lost your confidence, so now you don’t dare to face anything unknown Is that it?”

“Swoosh!+”

A cold dagger flew rapidly and stopped right before Rhode’s throat

“Shut your trap, youngster” The old man face darkened even further, “You aren’t qualified to talk to me like that”

“That ‘s what I should say to you Seems like I’ve hit the mark, eh?”

Rhode didn’t care about the old round Back in the gah-cost NPC in Deep Stone City His attributes were good, but it did not ood too In fact, on his personal quest to ‘find the past glory’, the old man’s conduct was considered as idiotic by roup was arave news, this old o rescue them, and naturally, the player needed to help him too

However, players were very unhappy with his wishy-washy behavior because he was just as long-winded as a woman! A matter that could be settled within minutes became hours And a simple matter that could be easily concluded, became unnecessarily complicated Many tio or not? Would they be happy to see his like this made the 56-year-old man resemble a fussy old lady It caused anxiety to sole him to death

And because of his indecisiveness, his comrades ended up as wild beast food It wasn’t until that incident when the old man finally reflected on his mistakes and went mad He later perished with the wild beasts in the quest ‘return of the prodigal son’

This questline was labeled as complete trash to the players On the tedious escort quest, the oldindecisive In the end, the players were caught in an encirclement of wild beasts Froer and only needed tords to describe hier

Rhode was also one of them

But it was also because of this quest that made hiave him ample patience and time, but the old man still ed in his past Just like a turtle that hid in its shell, he was oblivious to his cooodwill and refused to learn froh he repented in the end, these kind of stories were only a novelty in books or dras to happen

Repent my ss, in the end, didn’t you die? The people you wanted to save had died, and then you also died What a pointless death!</es because he wanted to provoke him To deal with ‘scaredy cats’ such as this old man, one must force him into a corner; else, he would definitely stay inside his own little world

The other half was because he wanted to take revenge on this old aa person in front of hiht nohy not kill two birds with one stone?

“At least I dared to face challenges head-on, unlike soround”

After saying his piece, Rhode stood up, fished out a few silver coins and placed it on the table

“I’ll give you a day to think about it If you agree, you can come to Cyril’s Haunted House to find me By tomorrow, if I don’t find you, then we’ll never see each other again”

Rhode turned away Lize as surprised, also quickly stood up and followed Rhode out

After the two left, Old Walker sat down again He clenched his teeth, and his hands trehed and buried his head deep in his ar a word
