In one of the high end restaurants placed within Hiel city, were two guards in their lunch break Both of thee, and their dark tan and skin covered in scars, showed that the two of thest the many mercenaries that had been hired to patrol the city

The tere the only customers of the restaurant, as it was still too early for the restaurant to welcouests open Nevertheless, the eranted this privilege Tenting to the restaurant hall, were a girl and a boy in their early teens, while in the kitchen, was the cook that was preparing the dishes in advance for when the custoe with this company” muttered one of the twothe silence abruptly

The second htly older as deher concentration of white hair in his hair, turned to look at hiood connections, and that ended up in a few lucrative deals What is so odd about it?”

”I don't know Isn't our pay a little too high? Also, we are in a city, but why is there no production Only three buildings are being used” Asked the younger guard before taking a small pause to eat a bite of his food He then added, ”Their whole production s, and that is careless If they lose it, thethe blame because ere unable to protect theuard conificantly older than the other, and while neither of the lunches with theevery shi+ft, in an attempt to bond with them His quiet and attentive behaviour would make him pass as a person ould listen to anybody's opinion, and that would keep his ideas to himself

This would usually allow hi hi their true character All of this was done for the purpose of finding people worth befriending, after all, the older cultivator had spent the past twenty thousand years living multiple lives, and while his friends, past wives and even children died out in ti life when he had someone to listen to Be it a co worker, or his current wife and children

However, for as bored as he was, he still was a mercenary He had been one for his whole life, and the rules were above all to him So when the conversation reached this point, he had started to feel uneasy

”Also, how are these merchants so weak? How is it possible that nobody has ever robbed the cultivator

The eyes of the older warrior narrowed, and his actions became almost mechanical The fork moved into his mouth and doards his plate, while his pupils were pointed right towards his ranting companion ” isn't that the point? Hoerful must their connections be-” Said the older warrior in an attee idea fro interrupted

While raising his left brow, the younger warrior pointed his fork towards the older guard, and said ”Somebody will, sooner or later A smart bastard I just hope he won't kill us while he does It would be easier if, by absurd, we took their co it for a few years Hehe”

As soon as these words left the guard'snear the kitchen's entrance turned towards the door, and entered it nonchalantly The young boy as next to her keptwas happening, but the expression of his face, showed an increased amount of seriousness

The old warrior noticed both of these odd events, so he placed his fork by the side of his dish, and moved his hand closer to the sword he carried

While in the h human with tens of thousands of years of experience, and the moment his companion moved, he noticed hi me to come eat every day for lunch since the day we have been partnered together, and now you don't want to eat?”

The older warrior did not respond, and instead looked at his companion with a stern expression

This young woman approached the table, and once she arrived in front of it, she bowed in salutation to the older warrior before turning towards the younger one She then said with a polite and calm tone, ”Your contract with the Golden Karma Company has been terminated Please, leave Hiel city, and report back to the er cultivator was taken aback by the words uttered by this young woman, but it was not the sa the appearance of this woman, shook his head, andsooner” At the saers touched the hilt of his sword

”What? What are you talking about, kitchen girl? Haha!” Said the younger guard before bursting out in laughs He then turned towards his partner, and asked rethorically ”Did you hear what she said?”
