407 Version 0.37 Update Log (1/2)
The Revival Point of Victoria City was filled with gamers. Because, on this day, a special gamer was revived.
It had been two months since the start of the Third Beta Testing. Hoodlum, who had been live-streaming what he did daily, came back! He was revived at Victoria City. The gamers surrounded him and asked him questions with concern.
Hoodlum created a detailed post about his experience on the discussion forum, but it wasn't popular. Besides beatings, he received more beatings. It wasn't refreshing, and other gamers weren't interested.
Hoodlum didn't mind narrating his experience. He was feeling the heart pain from the sudden termination of his Strange Encounter Mission. He was prepared to be a slave warrior for a year to train up his combat skills!
Hoodlum was puzzled over the loss of the Strange Encounter Mission. He found himself in the wilderness the moment he got online and was unable to find his way back. Finally, he arrived at a village. Feeling hungry, he took some food from a food stall, but he was killed by the boss.
What? Did Hoodlum steal food? No, no, no, how could he be stealing?
The mysterious journey of Hoodlum came to an end.
The Duke of York was furious because Hoodlum had disappeared.
He issued arrest warrants for the escaped prison wardens and Hoodlum, but he knew the chance of finding them was slim. When slave warriors escaped, they would never return. Besides, Hoodlum experienced inhumane torture and endless combat training. Each time, he would endure near-death experiences. If it were to happen to the Duke of York, he would have killed himself. However, Hoodlum didn't complain. Instead, he smiled happily while going through the torture. He was a natural warrior!
But his natural warrior had escaped, and he had registered for the Capital City's secret Gladiator Fight. The Duke of York couldn't take the blow. He swore he was going to find Hoodlum no matter what it took!
The Duke of York wasn't a fool. To find Hoodlum was like finding a needle in a haystack. However, Hoodlum must have family members like a wife and children. If he could blackmail Hoodlum with his family members, he would appear before the Duke. So, the Duke of York found all of the creatures who knew about Hoodlum.
The Slave Merchant who sold Hoodlum to him.
”Pa!”
A whip lashed across the body of the fat Slave Merchant, which was already covered in whip marks. The Slave Merchant convulsed and was unable to cry anymore.
The cruel Duke of York sat in a chair, enjoying his dessert while he watched the Slave Merchant being whipped. He wiped his mouth and said, ”So, Hoodlum was sold to you by Edward Scissorhand? You told me that you didn't know the whereabouts of Edward Scissorhand. You deceived me, my dear partner.”
Though the Duke of York sounded gentle, he was brutal to the Slave Merchant.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
”Apologies, Grand Duke. I didn't mean to deceive you. Edward provided a large number of slaves. I intended to divulge his location after making use of him. Please believe me, Grand Duke!”
A whip lashed him again, and he screamed in pain. The Duke of York picked up a piece of paper and examined it.
”Hmm, let me take a look at your testimonial. You only know that he came from Victoria City?”
”Yes, yes. Edward said that Hoodlum was captured from Victoria City. He lived in Victoria City, so his family must be in the city as well!” the Slave Merchant shouted nervously.
”Victoria…”
The Duke of York pondered for a while and found the name familiar. His adjutant bowed and said softly to the Duke, ”A tall man in a black costume brought a huge sum of gold to buy a piece of land. You sold the land to him to build a resort town called Victoria City. It must be that place.”
”Bought? No, no, no. This is York Territory, a King's Territory. How can it be sold to him? I'm leasing it to him.”
The Duke of York shook his head and said, ”Find the exact location of Victoria City and send a Cavalry team to tell the Mayor to handover Hoodlum or his family. I believe the rich Mayor won't reject my request.”
The adjutant nodded, acknowledged, and left.
The Duke of York looked at the Slave Merchant, who was hung up, and the servants at the side started whipping the Slave Merchant.

The Little Fairy sat in her treehouse, and Raintea was telling her the things that happened today excitedly.
”Then, CoolBreezeButtocks charged at me. I was scared to death, but Peasant came from the side and used a Shield to stop him.”
”Peasant? That Orc? I heard you mention him before,” the Little Fairy frowned and said.
