Chapter 216: The Boss (1/2)

Alex had the sword somewhat hidden behind his back. If someone were to give him more than just a glance, they could see the hilt in his hand and the shiny tip revealing from the side of his shoulder.

Hiding was never Alex's intention in the first place. He only wanted to not stand out immediately.

He walked straight ahead, past the begging crowd who ignored him. The big guy and the other lackeys of the boss that were behind him saw him coming and said nothing.

In their eyes, he was just another person coming to beg. However, the boy that had just come looked straight at them and asked, ”I'm here for you boss. Can you tell me where he is?”

Alex wasn't expecting a proper answer but still wanted to see how these henchmen of the bosses would react to him asking that. As expected, they started laughing.

”Hahaha, you want to meet the boss? Dream on kid. Even we get to barely meet the boss every day, and you think you can meet him after just arriving here? Haha,” the man kept on laughing.

”Brother!!,” one of the other lackeys walked up to him and said in a small voice and said, ”look behind him, is that…?”

”Hmmm? What's behind him?” the big guy to look.

Alex didn't bother hiding the sword anymore. ”You guys talking about this? Oh, I only brought it here to deal with your boss. However, I can use it to deal with y0u too, if you want me to, that is,” he said.

The group of henchmen was shocked. Not at his statement, but the fact that Alex had a sword. No one was allowed anything before they were sent away here. Even their storage bags were confiscated by the elders.

”How do you have a sword in the forbidden fields?” the big guy started to get a little scared. He could fight against these empty-handed, weak, hungry, and tired folks that knew nothing but how to beg.

But a fine person with a weapon on top of it was an actual problem.

”Oh, let's just say I got lucky, hehe,” Alex said. ”Anyway, so is your boss not here?” he asked as he poked his head to the side and looked toward the hole in the cliff.

That was where he was supposed to be staying.

”You can not meet the boss. You think our boss is afraid of a random sword from a nobody?” a henchman at the back screamed.

”Oh, then what about you. Will you take a sword strike from this nobody?” Alex asked as he stared at him with a slight smile on his face. The henchman hesitated.

”Alright, I will have to ask you to step aside so I can meet this boss of yours,” Alex said as he started walking towards the cave.
