”What are you doing here? What the noise just now?” The man on the right asked Randy as he approached. From the way the man spoke, the two seemed not friendly at him.

”I don't know, I also came here to check the noise, but there's nothing here,” Randy also shook his head as he responded to the two men before him.

”It's weird, the sound is very big. It's like there's something big hit the wall...” The other man muttered in a low voice as he scanned the surrounding. They had not realized the noise was coming from the man before them.

Meanwhile, the man who questioned Randy earlier, he was currently scanning Randy, from the head to the toe before nodding his head. If Randy didn't notice the greed on the man's eyes over him, Randy would believe the man nodded his head because of his words earlier.

It seemed the two was a guard or something, but Randy stayed indifferent at the two. If he was not mistaken, he was in the Asura Territory. Most likely this Asura Territory was the Asura Guild who challenged his guild.

But Randy would not kill these two just because they were from Asura Guild. Also, He just came back, and he wanted to get a reunion with his family in a low key manner. At least, he didn't want to create an unwanted uproar with his return.

He just wanted to relax for awhile before executing his plan on his head, he wanted to take a rest for a while after battling non-stop in Ascension World. Even though the skeleton army had arrived at Surabaya Territory, he was not in a hurry to wipe them out.

Actually, it was not a problem for him to wipe the skeleton army alone.

When he was still in level over 70, he could smash their camp, let alone now, the current him was stronger than him back then.

With his Elemental Power which had undergone two times evolution and with his many new skills, it was easy for him to wipe the skeleton army.

But he didn't want to wipe the skeleton army now. The skeleton army was not for him, but a resource for his guild, for his guild member to level up.

After scanning the surrounding, the two guards walked back, ignoring Randy. Randy didn't care, but followed the two men, if there was a wall, then there was a gate.

The two guards noticed Randy followed them but didn't make any remark him. Instead, they had an evil smile on their face.

Sure enough, less than 10 minutes walk Randy could see the gate ahead of him. He hastened his pace, he could not wait anymore to meet his family.

Randy passed the two guards, but just as he arrived before the gate, the two guards on his back stopped him.

”Hey, hey stop! Where are you going? Don't you know the rules?” One guard stopped Randy to enter as the two guards caught up.

The distances between him and the gate were about 5 meters. The two guards stopped him there as they help Randy's shoulders.

Randy stopped as he looked at the two guards, wondering what they meant by the rules. Also, he felt a little annoyed at these two delayed him.

He could not wait to surprise his wife, he could not wait to meet his parents, he wanted to surprise them, but these two delayed him. Somehow, he had a violent urge, it was to kill the two guards before him.

But he suppressed his desire to kill them, it was eye-catching as he was just wanting to get back unnoticed, he wanted to get relax a bit.

The two guards were grinning at him and their gaze contained greed.

”What is it?” Randy said in an indifferent tone.

”Heheh,” The guard on the left let out a chuckle, ”You don't know the rules?”

Without waiting for Randy to response, the guard on the right shook his head, and said with a sigh, ”If you want to pass through Asura Territory, you have to pay the tax,”

Hearing this, Randy realized these two guards wanted money from him. Just as he wanted to take out a silver coin, the guard on the left spoke again, ”Because you are new, you have to pay 100 gold coin to get this card,”

Finishing his words, the guard on the left took out a black card, the card was pitch black, and there was a picture on the card, it was the same picture as the picture on their chest, the devil mask with two short horns.

”After you get this card, you only need to pay 10 gold each time you pass Asura Territory,” The guard on the left smiled, greedy smile.

Hearing this, Randy stunned before shaking his head.

”What!? You don't have the money? Scram if you don't have the money!” The guard on the right yelled at Randy. After that, the two guards turned their back at Randy and headed to the gate.

Randy shook his head was because of the outrageous ”Tax”, not because he didn't have the gold coin of course. 100 gold only to get the card and 10 gold each time he passed Asura Territory.
