Chapter 109 - 100: Shocking Upheaval

"Sir, children don’t know anything, they’re just talking nonsense." Village Chief Kael hurriedly pulled back the child, protecting him behind and said.

In Kael’s eyes, although Raine was also an adventurer, after a few months, he should still be at the bottom level of adventurers, completely incapable of dealing with the few people in front of him.

Moreover, regarding the matter happening in the village at the moment, not to mention if Raine can help, even if he can, it probably would require asking someone familiar and powerful adventurers to mediate to possibly resolve it.

For this, Raine might even owe a favor.

"Brother Raine is an adventurer in Mill Town!"

"Yes! A few months ago, several adventurers said Brother Raine had great talent for being an adventurer!" Besides Lisa, several other little boys said angrily.

They were instinctively wanting to show that their village also had an adventurer and simply wanted this to serve as a deterrent, indicating that Oak Village also had people backing it.

Upon hearing the words of the children, including Scarface, five men laughed so hard they bent over.

"That’s hilarious!"

"Been an adventurer for only a few months?"

"Taking us down?"

...

In the distance.

Actually, there’s no need to listen anymore. Even if it is as the few adventurers said, casually wiping out a group of goblins, according to the Adventurer’s Association quotes, it definitely would not exceed 20 silver.

Yet the other party directly demanded 5 gold!

Obviously, this is naked extortion.

Moreover, the goblin ears the other party is waving, Raine suspects, is likely just a ’tool’ used for extortion, taken from some wandering goblin or a lucky roadside encounter.

"Wait, Captain, don’t be impulsive!"

"That Scarface’s actual strength is average, but I heard his older brother is the captain of the Black Iron Level adventurer squad ’Blood Sword’. If it weren’t for Scarface’s strength being really poor, he would supposedly also be mingling on the second floor now. So..."

Raine’s aura stagnated, and the few nearby people had already felt it, however, Regina quickly reminded him.

"Blood Sword?"

"Yes, although it was just founded last year, the captain’s nickname is Blood Sword, a Level 3 Classes swordsman."

Level 3 Classes?

So what?

Raine won’t forget the day when almost every villager in Oak Village pooled money to buy him equipment.

Don’t mention these adventurers who are trash, even if that Blood Sword brother is here, he will make the other party pay a life’s regretful price.

As an adventurer, if there is real capability, go slay demons, not bully ordinary people.

Raine walked straight ahead.

When Scarface was still babbling about something, suddenly, he saw every villager in front looking astonished at his back.

Huh?

Just as Scarface felt strange inside, about to turn his head, suddenly!

A hand as big as an iron clamp suddenly grabbed his neck!

Instantly!

Scarface’s entire face turned bright red, especially the cross-shaped scar, which now glowed red due to blood congestion.

"Wait, Mr. Rein, don’t kill in public!"

As Raine was about to further squeeze the neck, Elise’s clear voice came from the rear.

It slightly halted Raine’s hand movement.

He understood Elise’s good intentions.

In front of so many people, directly killing this adventurer scum, although he’s justified, but Soladin Kingdom still has laws after all.

Of course, seen from another angle of Elise’s reminder, if not ’in public’, then naturally, it wouldn’t matter...

Additionally, upon thinking carefully, he realized killing in front of those innocent-eyed children in the village was indeed inappropriate.

If needed, deal with them directly in the wild later.

So just as Scarface felt his neck being squeezed tighter and tighter, even terrifyingly hearing his neck bones making creaky squeezing sounds, he suddenly felt himself fly up.

"Bang!!!"

The few adventurers receiving Scarface were instantly knocked down like bowling pins on the ground.

"Who is it! Who the hell..."

Scarface rose up, face fierce, ready to curse angrily, but suddenly froze in the next moment.

Although his strength is average, his eyesight is sharp.

Especially with guidance from his brother, Scarface never dares to provoke Classes.

After all, even if he has a brother with a Classes Level of three, if the other party directly uses underhanded means, his brother would find it difficult to identify the Classes level perpetrator.

Therefore, Scarface’s bullying targets are mostly the bottom adventurers... or current ones, villagers or ordinary people.

While in front of Raine, not to mention that refined aura, just the armor he wore couldn’t be afforded by any ordinary bottom adventurer.

Additionally, there are the few adventurers following closely behind Raine.

Especially the pretty girl in a Priest Robe, who is actually a rare Official Priest.

Scarface realized he definitely hit the iron plate this time.

"Sir, I didn’t know Oak Village had your protection."

"Otherwise, even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare come here."

"Um..... my brother is the Blood Sword Squad captain."

"Scram!"

"Yes! Yes!" Scarface nodded with a flattering smile.

Soon, they fled in panic!

"Village chief, don’t you recognize me?" Raine turned around, smiling and removing the horned helmet from his head.

"It’s Brother Raine!" Little girl Lisa first rushed over, hugging Raine joyfully.

"Raine, you’ve... you’ve completely changed!" Village chief Kael looked Raine up and down, filled with surprise and exclaimed.

If he hadn’t met Raine at the village entrance, Village chief Kael was assured he wouldn’t dare to approach Raine to confirm his identity.

Because the young man in front, wearing fine armor and holding a shield, compared to when leaving the village a few months ago, seemed entirely transformed.

Especially the aura, there’s an indescribable change.

"Raine?" A middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance called hesitantly.

His eyes clearly showed joy, but also a hint of caution, seeming worried that the person before him was no longer as easy-going as before.

"Uncle Gates, long time no see." Raine smiled, his tone as before.

"Good boy! You’ve really changed a lot!" Gates heard Raine’s tone and attitude, immediately relieved, came forward and lightly punched Raine’s chest armor, praising repeatedly.

Just as Raine and the people of Oak Village exchanged greetings, suddenly, a scream came from the direction of the village entrance!

The voice seemed to belong to those few moments ago.

Including Raine, Elise and the squad, they immediately turned to look.

Scarface, accompanied by four companions, was rushing towards the group in terror.

"Monster... Wild Boar..."

"Crash!"

Amidst the dense sound of snapping branches!

A giant wild boar equal in shoulder height to an adult charged out from the village entrance woodland, instantly breaking the spine of the last running adventurer, and its seven to eight-inch long tusks directly pierced through his abdomen!

"Ah!!"

Wild boar?

This big?

Everyone was shocked!

"It’s Wild Boar People... people!" Scarface gasped.

Almost at the same time.

Raine saw several towering silhouettes appear in the dense woods with faintly visible upright little flags on their backs.
