Chapter 403 You’re in Luck
?The ears of both the rowdy and more collected mercenaries perked up at the mention of the Troublemaker.
“Hmm, that’s true. To think of it, he’s been a problem since the very beginning.
If he didn’t dust that useless fellow… what was his name?… anyway, the husband of that Sui Family Matriarch… or at least former since she gave up the Family Head position, we would have already gained control of her company by now, or at least in the coming year as her health deteriorated. Instead it now became an even bigger pain in the ass it seems”
The second one who reported the situation traced his chin.
“Ah, that one. Don’t remember his name either but I heard at the time the guy begged us for help and we even sent those silent death guys for the Troublemaker”
The third one spoke in a slightly lowered tone at the mention of the ‘silent death’ people.
“Tch! What ‘silent de~ath’? Ptfu! Those useless half-assed assassins in stupid carnival getup didn’t get the job done anyway. And then got bogged down in some bullshit investigation from their own higher-ups as far as I heard, never having cleaned up their mess and leaving us to wipe their asses.
They were even given a second chance in the Fantian Kingdom when I was stationed there, and their sub-branch there got slaughtered instead.
It woulda been far cleaner if they sent our people directly right from the start and that woulda been the end of the problem”
The first one spat out again, cleaning his palate after mockingly repeating the title the third mercenary attached to the assassins.
“Hmm, well he was indeed with a lower cultivation base at the time, but you know we can’t operate as openly in the Imperial Capital. Besides being silent and sneaking around slicing throats in darkness is not exactly our strongest suit.
But you are right that we didn’t approach the problem with the right seriousness at the time, which led to more problems later on”
The second mercenary shook his head as he debated the first one’s opinion.
“Not to mention the Feng kid… Shit me and a ton of our low-rank guys spent a shitload of time in the mountains playing bandits for his entourage, calling him ‘Leader’ and kissing his ass. And for what? All that effort wasted since that shmuck carried his bandit clothes in his spatial ring and that bastard found out!
Hell, even us being here staking out that little princess is all his fault since he blew the brains out of her tutor and trashed the sect of Lust Cultivators we managed to pull to our side.
He even killed my buddy in that sect of righteous idiots in Jurong Kingdom later.
Aargh, even speaking of all the trouble he made for us is making me mad. If I saw him I’d break his neck with my bare hands!”
The first one spoke with growing impatience and irritation while taking out a small pouch full of chewing tobacco.
“You’re getting too volatile, don’t get too attached to this shit. Haven’t you seen what it does to people if overused? And it’s supposed to be supplies for emergency if we need a boost. We’re not supposed to…”
The second mercenary who reported the situation from the higher ups placed a hand on the first one’s wrist, which hand held the pouch.
“Shut up! Don’t be such a tight ass! I know all that, this is a separate stash I managed to get. Extra, an extra!”
The man became visibly irritated even more at the cautioning words of his colleague as he wrestled his hands away in aggressive way, earning a disapproving gaze from both which he did not seem to care about.
“Anyway, even if that stuff’s giving you confidence, I think you’re being unreasonable. If he was here none of us would even stand a chance. Would Senior Bei break down just from meeting with him if someone like us could take him on? Besides, didn’t you hear what he did on the Wood Spirit Continent?”
The third one who brought up the topic in the first place cautiously reminded.
“Hah! Stories from overseas that inflated like balloons because of spineless guys like you! Senior Bei’s a prime example! He heard about him so much that I bet he chickened out before even meeting the guy!
I’m telling ya! The more ya start fearing his reputation the more ya crap in your pants and can’t face him properly. Of course his reputation’s gonna grow even bigger from this!”
“Don’t insult Senior Bei, you’re crossing the line”
The second one’s voice became slightly irritated as his eyes sharply looked at the rowdy first high-ranking mercenary.
“Relax, ya know I respected Senior Bei more than any next guy, but that’s just how disappointed I am. 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Not to mention, the ones who met that Troublemaker a year ago did so when this booster haven’t been issued to our guys. With this stuff, we’re gonna trash that fucker into oblivion.
Plus there are nutless bastards like this one getting off on making him scarier than he is with all those stories because it gives them stuff to talk about and justifies their cowardice. If we met him, I’d show ya both that he’s nothing much…”
The first mercenary snorted, taking out the batch of chewing tobacco out of the pouch and placing it in his mouth when a new voice resounded from the side.
“Well then, you’re in luck. I came here to hear what you would talk about but it seems that’s about all you know and don’t really know much else so we can end this here”
One of the lowest-ranking Qi Manifestation Realm mercenaries suddenly spoke up, taking his bamboo hat off as his face distorted, revealing an extremely handsome face all people here knew from a portrait. He had a bright smile and spoke in a lighthearted tone.
Two others behind him took off their hats as their figures distorted and became of two gorgeous women.
The man with the chewing tobacco froze mid-action as his teeth were just about to sink into the coveted substance. The third high-ranking mercenary paled, freezing in place as his eyes widened, rapidly filling with horror, while the second one narrowed his eyes, his hand reaching for his sword.
The other mercenaries all instantly tensed up, incredibly slowly moving to stand up or abandon their relaxed poses.
