Chapter 20
Chaos city.
Hanksâ house.
When he saw An Kai, he had mixed feelings.
In the past year, Hanksâ anticipation had been falling like the stock market.
Later on, he gradually believed that An Kai had died in the Mage Tower.
He swore that this time, he really didnât hide anything.
According to the information he had received, there was no danger in the mage tower!
The only thing was that the entry threshold was a little high!
Mages were not common, and An Kai was a mage that he could trust.
HoweverâŠ
An accident still happened.
Hanks waited for a week, but he did not see An Kai.
At this moment, Hanks had a bad feeling.
Then a month, two months, half a yearâŠ
Until now, when An Kai appeared again, Hanks had almost forgotten about the Mage Tower.
Only when he thought of An Kai would he feel regret.
It is said that evil lasts for a thousand years.
He did not expect An Kai, a future scourge, to die so early! This was too unexpected!
â Are you really that kid?!â
An Kai nodded helplessly. This was the fifth time Hanks had asked him.
âHanks, why are you at home? Why didnât you set up a stall outside the city? Is it because youâre afraid that others will break through Widow Wangâs window?â
âHah! Itâs really you!
âI knew that a great scourge like you would never die so easily!â
Hanks shouted excitedly and was about to give An Kai a hug.
In the end, An Kai pushed him away in disdain.â Go away, go away. I never hug men!
âWhereâs Widow Wang? Let her come out and hug me.â
Hanks was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on when he heard Widow Wang.
He quickly pulled An Kai out of the house.
The direction was outside chaos city.
Along the way, Hanks didnât ask An Kai what had happened or why he was out so late.
Hanks knew that such prying words would only cause An Kai to feel disgusted.
The two of them arrived outside the city and passed by Reid, who was still guarding the stall.
Without stopping, the two of them continued to walk into the distance mysteriously.
âOh my god! Is it that guy?â
â He didnât die?!â
âI knew that such a great scourge would not die so easily!â
Reid looked at An Kaiâs back, his mouth agape.
In the end, he sighed helplessly.
An Kaiâs strength had already completely pulled apart from his. As for the detectorâs display of stage one rank oneâŠ
Haha!
.
âWhere is it?â
An Kai took out the envelope and handed it to Hanks with a calm face.
âYou didnât see it, did you?â
âTsk!â An Kai said disdainfully and added, âAm I the kind of person who doesnât keep my promises?â
Hanks frowned. He felt that this sentence was familiar.
He kept the letter in his arms and looked at An Kai suspiciously. He reminded him, unwilling to give up, âKid, this letter is very important. Youâd better not read it!â
âWhatâs so important about a blank envelope?â An Kai said disdainfully in his heart, but he still nodded heavily on the surface.
He said he had kept his promise and that he did not peek.
After putting away the envelope, Hanks didnât say anything and waited for An Kai to speak.
He thought to himself, âItâs been a long time since we last met, and Iâm still this kidâs friend. He should at least be able to tell me something about the Magus Tower.â
For example, why did he come out so late?
HoweverâŠ
Seeing that Hanks was silent, An Kai did not speak either.
As for telling him about the Tower, it was a fantasy.
He knew that the more he said, the more he would expose himself.
So he wouldnât say a word!
An Kai wouldnât ask Hanks where he could find information about the foreign words in the books.
With Hanksâ personality, he would definitely guess something.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Five minutes.
Hanks was sure that this kid didnât treat him as a friend!
He did not explain why he had come out so late, nor did he explain what was inside the Mage Tower.
âShall we go back?â
âYes!â
Looking at An Kai, who had already walked past him, Hanks had mixed feelings.
He suddenly felt that he had mourned An Kaiâs death too early.
Not long after, the two of them passed by Reidâs stall and entered Chaos City.
An Kai was expressionless. Hanks looked at An Kaiâs back and gritted his teeth.
Seeing this situation, Reid knew that Hanks had once again been defeated by An Kai.
He felt quite good seeing Hanks suffer a loss, and his impression of An Kai also increased.
As soon as they entered the city, An Kai took out a bounty scroll and handed it to Hanks as if he was discussing a common matter.
âDo you have any idea where his brother is? After this, weâll split the reward 8 to 2. No. 9 to 1!â
Hanks didnât even bother to ask who was the one and who was the nine. He knew that he was the one.
HoweverâŠ
Looking at the bounty mission An Kai handed over, he chuckled. âKid, donât even think about this mission. This is just a show by that fellow, Lei Ming!
âIn a few days, this mission will be cancelled and Rennes will come back on his own.â
âIn the entire chaos city, who doesnât know that the brother of the sect leader likes to go out alone to train!â
Hanks was very familiar with the matter of the sect, so he didnât pause at all when he talked about it.
âThen isnât his brother afraid of dying in the desert?âAfter An Kai heard this, he asked a question that concerned him.
âDie? Hahaha!â
âKid, not to mention that Rennes has a 2nd stage expert brother. He himself is an 8th rank 1st stage spearman!
âIn the entire chaos city, how many are stronger than him? Even those stronger than him know Rennesâs background?
âBesides, Rennes is very poor. He doesnât have a single gold coin on him. Which fool would target Rennes?â
An Kai glanced at Hanks. He was a little unhappy because Hanks thought he was a fool.
No, he didnât mean to target Rennes. He just killed him.
Who knew that the seemingly arrogant Rennes was actually so weak?
He shattered with a single touch!
However, it was true that Rennes was poor.
Not a single gold coin!
âThis mission is destined to fail. I advise you to change to another one. Donât be blinded by 100 gold coins.
âEven if you are lucky enough to find Rennes, these 100 gold coins are only for temporary safekeeping. Do you really think that the sect is doing good deeds?â
Hanks looked like he had been through a lot and talked about this bounty mission.
âSo this is a lie?!â
An Kai was a little angry. He hated people who faked things!
Hanks heard An Kaiâs roar and looked at him suspiciously.
âIt would be weird if it was true!â He didnât say it out loud because it was common knowledge in chaos city. âNever believe the words of the people in the desert.â
The two of them soon arrived at Hanksâ house.
Widow Wang welcomed them warmly.
Seeing this, Hanks hurriedly pulled An Kai into the guest room next door.
After closing the door, the man said mysteriously, âAlthough the bounty mission is a no-go, I have something else. Itâs related to the Split Mountain gang too.â
