Chapter 38 - Conflict

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

When Zero left the union hall, he had already accepted several missions. Task rewards range from $100 to $300, almost all of which are missions to explore ruins and map areas. These tasks were now recorded in the chip of Zero's mercenary license and were in a state of readiness.

The advantage of an AI chip was that it could record the owner's task times, difficulty and completeness. Even if the Parkland's license was not recognized by other unions from other companies or bases, the data in the A.I. As the number and difficulty of the tasks accumulated, Zero could use this as a basis to upgrade its license in other unions, thereby receiving greater profits and more dangerous missions.

Leaving the administrative area, he returned to the temporary Stophouse. From afar, Zero could hear the curses and screams coming from the guild encampment. That scream lightly struck the chords of Zero's heart.

It was Lea's voice!

Zero's expression immediately darkened. He increased his speed slightly and walked towards the encampment at a steady pace.

In the base, Jehan and a few men lied on the ground in disorder. Their swollen faces let Zero know that they must have been beaten up.

Lea was being pulled by a few other men. From the clothes, he should be a resident of Remot. La La (young Gold Devourer beast, named after Lea), was biting a white man's arm with its toothless mouth. In the next moment, this little guy was flung away impatiently by.

A golden-haired man who seemed to be the leader stood at the side and said with a contemptuous smile, "Take this girl away for me. I didn't think that there would be such good stuff in the refugees. Looks like those men are going to spend it again."

"Let her go!"

Teddy shouted. This skinny young man was being held down to his face by a bear-like black man. Teddy punched and kicked, but was unable to do anything to his opponent.

After seeing all this, Zero knew what to do.

The tip of his foot forcefully kicked the ground, causing him to move like the wind towards the golden-haired man's side. Only then did the blonde man realize that something was wrong. His reaction was fast as he pulled out a dagger from his waist and slashed backwards.

But Zero was faster than him.

He tilted his head back, and the propelling kinetic energy slid through his opponent's dagger with zero on it. Zero grabbed the hand holding the dagger. Suddenly, he bent down and threw the golden-haired man hard onto the ground with a shoulder throw. He grabbed the man's arm and twisted it, causing the man to scream miserably as the dagger in his hand fell to the ground. With a kick to the back of the man's knee, he could easily break his spine with just a little bit of force.

This series of actions was completed in the blink of an eye. Only when the golden-haired man was completely suppressed by Zero did his subordinates react. The few men who were holding Lea let go of her and took out their daggers and guns from their bodies. The black man who was pressing down on Teddy's face cursed and stood up to surround him.

"Let me go, boy. Do you know what you're doing? " The golden-haired man who was pressed beneath him shouted in anger, "In Remot, if you offend me, Claude, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death."

Zero was very quiet, but the strength in his knees increased a little bit. However, the concentrated force suppressed Claude's spinal nerves, making him feel as if thousands of needles had ruthlessly stabbed into his body.

"If you want to die, just continue with your nonsense."

There was no change in Zero's voice. It was so calm that it made people's hearts tremble. His knees, on the other hand, was slowly increasing the force, allowing Claude to fully feel the process of his spine being squeezed. The golden-haired man finally understood that his opponent was not someone he could be scared off with just a few harsh words.

"What do you want?" Claude shouted.

"Let your men leave, and you are not allowed to take even half a step into this encampment. Otherwise, no matter who you are, I will kill you. " As he said that, he used more strength in his hand and broke Claude's forefinger.

Claude shouted loudly like a pig being butchered, "Let's go, we're leaving now!"

Zero nodded, let go of the blond man's hand, and stepped away from him.

The moment he stood up, the bear-like burly man roared and rushed over. However, he did not know when a revolver had touched his forehead. The big man believed that as long as he wanted to, he could pull the trigger at any time.

"Everyone stop!"

A loud roar sounded from outside the base. Zero maintained his shooting posture and scanned the outside of the base from the corner of his eyes. It was actually a team of Remot soldiers in charge of maintaining law and order. Magistrate was a man with a moustache, he pointed at Ling and Claude and said, "It's forbidden to fight in the base, bring everyone away!"

He narrowed his eyes, he could clearly see that Claude's mouth revealed a malicious smile.

The fact that the local snake and the Magistrate were colluding was nothing new. As a result, Claude continued to live a carefree and carefree life. As for Zero, he would inevitably be imprisoned for a period of time. His luck nearly cost him his life.

"I refuse." Zero said lightly, "They are the ones who started the trouble. Or could it be that this is how the Remot treats outsiders? "

"Kid, you dare to resist arrest?" Magistrate sneered, he waved his hand, and the five soldiers behind him immediately pointed their spears at Zero.

Zero shook his head and said, "Don't force me to kill someone."

What he said was the truth. Five ordinary soldiers who had not experienced any strengthening were no match for a zero. The zero response nerve was about four times faster than their speed, so it was possible to determine the shooting time and trajectory by the opponent's minute movements, thus making timely evasion. As long as the first shot missed, then the second order's agility enhancement speed would be enough to knock them all out before the second round.

Unfortunately, when Magistrate heard his words, it was actually rude and provocative.

Magistrate raised his hand high up, while the tip of his zero foot continued to lightly jump about at a constant speed, ready to dodge and retaliate at any time.

While the two sides were at loggerheads, another voice cut in, "All of you, stop."

It was a middle-aged man dressed in an orthodox suit. His silver hair was neatly combed back, revealing his shiny forehead. The rimless glasses lightly fell on his nose, blurring the man's eyes. At the same time, it gave him a scholarly air. He held a black cane in his hand as he strode towards the encampment like a gentleman.

When the Magistrate saw him, he immediately went forward and greeted him respectfully. "President Theon, why have you come here?"

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to see such an interesting scene." The man called Theon, gazed at Su Yun: "You are very daring, daring to challenge the Remot's official power."

"I just don't think I did anything wrong." He was not moved by the other party's status. As far as he was concerned, this was just an official.

Nodding his head, Theon said to the Magistrate: "You guys can leave, and you, Claude, if I see you secretly selling female slaves again, I will personally send you out of the Remot."

"Heh, there won't be a next time, honorable Sir Theon."

Claude bowed humbly, waved his hand, and led his subordinates away dejectedly.

The Magistrate seemed to be a little unresigned as he said in a low voice: "President Theon, this brat clearly doesn't put us in his eyes, how can he let him off so easily?"

A faint smile hung on Theon's face as he lowered his head and said to Magistrate, "Don't think that I don't know what you and Claude are up to. If it wasn't for your uncle, who is representing the association, protecting you. "Believe me, you can't sit still in this position for a long time."

Magistrate immediately lowered his head, wiped off his sweat, and left with the soldiers.

Su Yun silently retracted her spear, and did not even look at Theon, and turned to leave.

Theon laughed bitterly, this was probably the only time in his life that someone had ignored him. He didn't mind, and turned his walking stick to walk into the base, and said to Teddy and the others: "I am truly sorry, I have left a bad impression on you all. I am the Vice President of the Remot's Association, Theon. I will personally take care of this matter and guarantee that I will give everyone a reasonable explanation. "

In the Remot, the president of the trade union was without a doubt a great figure. Although Theon was only the Vice Chairman, the second person to take the chair was obviously not someone that Teddy and the others could get to know normally. Now that they had been apologized to their faces, they were even more flattered.

However, it was as if Zero did not hear Theon's words. He only supported Lea and picked up the small beast, preparing to return to the tent. Theon rubbed his nose, shook his head and called out: "You're a mercenary right?"

Not answering, Theon could only continue: "I have a mission for you."

"I've already taken enough missions." Zero finally stopped.

"Hey, this mission isn't even in the union's taskbar." Theon said with a smile.

Zero turned around and asked, "What about the reward?"

"This is a promotion mission, the reward depends on the completion of the mission. All I can tell you is that the minimum wage is 500 yuan. " Theon's smile grew wider and wider, because he knew that he had already garnered zero interest.

He had just come out of the union and knew that he had accepted several missions by himself. From this, it could be seen that this mercenary was in need of money.

Su Ming frowned and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

A mission to level up was not an ordinary one, it was a serial quest. The difficulty of the mission varied from low to high, and the reward was just as Theon had said, dependent on the degree of completion of the mission. The higher the risk of this type of quest, the higher the reward.

However, there were strict rules for this kind of quest. It was only open to mercenaries over the third step or Hunters. As for Zero, he was just a beginner mercenary.

Theon shrugged and said, "Because you dare to challenge me and insist on your own thoughts. People like you don't give up so easily. A promotion mission is perfect for you. But more importantly, because you killed a butcher. "

The first few words were nothing but bullsh * t, but the last few words made him believe in Theon's sincerity.
