It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 604 Midnight Raid on the Massage Parlor

When Lowe arrived at the meeting point, the Second Prince's men were busy making preparations.

"I have something to do tonight," he said bluntly.

Without even asking what they were going to do, he directly stated that he would not participate, which drew the attention of several people present.

The man who had once invited him to join the goblin's lair came over. The man's name was Marin, and he was one of the more influential people among them.

"Dali".

Marin read aloud the name that Rowe had casually given him.

He tugged at the rope in his hand, freeing one hand to pat Luo Wei on the shoulder, and said, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Lowe responded, "I can accept it at other times, but not tonight."

The people present looked at his appearance and heard the reluctance in his words to break his promise, and they vaguely understood what he meant.

"Nonsense!"

Marin said sternly, "You're not going to see a woman, are you?"

Seeing that Rowe did not deny it, Marin's face revealed disappointment.

"Do you know how rare this opportunity is? Countless people want this kind of opportunity but are turned away every day. And you actually go on a date with a woman at a time like this? Can't you have any self-respect as a man?!"

"?"

They even started lecturing me.

Luo Wei showed no intention of reflecting on his actions; he was simply stating his position.

"As long as you handle things well, you'll never have to worry about not having women to choose from in the future." Marin looked at him angrily. "Have you seen your future clearly? Do you understand what you truly want? Think back to why you joined us in the first place, and what your attitude was back then. Is wasting your life in a place like this what you want?"

Yes, yes, you're right.

"Men should not let romantic feelings hold them back. At such times, they should put these aside, focus on important matters, and not get too caught up in these emotions."

Even if you truly love her and are certain you want to spend your life with her, wouldn't she appreciate seeing your power and wealth?

Yes, yes, that makes perfect sense.

Lowe listened, his face ashen, and he almost believed his nonsense.

“I’m only mentoring you because I see you as a promising talent,” Marin said coldly. “If you have this kind of idea again, I won’t be willing to give you a hand.”

"..."

Luo Wei never expected that his misdeeds would be taught a lesson by a lowly soldier in such a place.

"So what are we going to do tonight?" he asked, turning around with a sigh.

Did you hear that? They insisted on joining on their own, so don't blame him.

……

That night.

As night deepened, the streetlights gradually went out.

Rowe followed the others, disguised themselves, covered their heads, and prepared ropes and hooks, ready to sneak into the mansion where he had just had afternoon tea that afternoon.

"Remember?" Marin repeatedly reminded him, "If the Fifth Princess is inside, do not lay a hand on her. We cannot afford to harm the lives of such powerful and influential people."

The group nodded in understanding.

The identity that Luo Wei gave to the other party was verifiable, so he was not worried. Allowing him to participate in the operation meant that it had been verified.

Then, the group arrived at the private residence. Rowe followed Marin to a corner, preparing to hook onto the sun on the third floor and climb up.

“I’ll say it again,” Marin warned him once more, “all we want is military intelligence. Anyone who dares to touch the princess will have more lives than they could afford to pay for it, and as someone who knows the truth, you won’t be spared by your superiors.”

"understood."

Marin glanced at him, then threw a rope from the shadows and quickly climbed to the third floor, where he beckoned to him.

However, at that moment, a slashing sound and a groan of pain came from the other side.

The two looked in that direction almost simultaneously.

Marin stood on top and exchanged a glance with Rowe. "What's going on?"

Seeing Luo Wei shake his head, he immediately jumped down from above, crouched low, and went around to the other side of the building. He then saw one of their men lying there.

what?
The person on the other side was also completely confused, but just then, a black ring slash appeared out of thin air and knocked another person to the ground from behind.

"!!!"

The person who was hit cried out in pain, while the people lurking on both sides immediately stood up and became alert, like startled birds.

However, the invisible slashes seemed to have found their way. No matter what stance they adopted, a black crescent would always flash across the sky and cut them down at an unpredictable angle.

The remaining people immediately panicked.

They quickly pulled up the members who had fallen to the ground, and retreated outside while keeping their bodies low to the ground. Marin even heard footsteps coming downstairs from inside the house.

"Forget about them, let's get out of here!"

He tried to keep his voice down as he shouted, but just then, Marin suddenly felt a weight on his back, and the whole world suddenly became lighter.

By the time he realized he had been hit, his body was already falling uncontrollably towards the steps, crashing heavily onto the stone pavement.

"what--"

Watching the sword slash still chasing after him like a phantom in mid-air, Marin let out a sigh about life and humanity.

But just then, a not-so-strong arm helped him up from behind.

When Marin saw Rowe's face, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Dali!?"

Without a word, Luo Wei helped him up and retreated. The two of them crossed the battlefield like comrades-in-arms, their swords slashing endlessly around them. Just then, Ayining from the mansion opened the door and came out.

She could only see several figures retreating into the alley, and ripples of sword energy dancing in the air.

Ayining: "..."

She looked around hesitantly, then focused her mind and gripped the sword behind her arm. She covered her mouth and yawned softly because she had been woken from her nap.

Watching those people disappear one after another at the entrance of the alley, some even crawling all the way there, she frowned slightly in helplessness.

What is he doing now?
……

After retreating into the alley and confirming that no one was chasing them, the group stopped, still shaken.

Marin gripped Rowe's arm tightly.

"Dali, you saved my life!" Lowe didn't care and coldly treated everyone's injuries.

As time passed, everyone sat on the ground, panting with lingering fear. No one had expected to encounter such a thing before even going inside.

The biggest problem now is that they have no way to explain themselves after this situation has occurred. Luo Wei watched as the responsible personnel stood up and whispered to each other, but they couldn't come up with any solutions.

“If the goal is to deal with the Fifth Princess, why bother with her personally?” Luo Wei said at this moment.

Several people looked at him, but did not speak immediately. Instead, Marin, who had just recovered from his injuries, leaned closer.

"Do you have any idea?"

“Dealing with the Fifth Princess’s confidants is far too difficult,” Rowe shook his head. “In most cases, it’s disadvantageous to us, and we are very likely to face retaliation. To be honest, if I had known from the beginning that you were carrying out this kind of mission, I definitely wouldn’t have joined.”

"Then what do you think we should do?" someone asked, frowning.

Luo Wei closed his eyes briefly in thought.

“Then we’ll have to target unrelated people,” he said. “I remember there’s a massage parlor in the West District run by orcs. They mentioned it in today’s speech. The Second Prince is probably after the orcs this time.”

"A massage parlor?"

The group looked at him with a puzzled expression.

What's there to care about in a place like that? A bunch of little girls with long ears and tails, what kind of military secrets could they be hiding there?
"Do you think there might be clues hidden there?" Marin asked.

“It’s highly unlikely,” Rowe said, not denying it. “But you need to deliver results, so even if it’s not true, you can say it’s suspected.”

After listening to his words for a while, the group gradually showed expressions of sudden realization.

It's actually possible.

“Then let’s go there now,” Marin said seriously, turning to the others. “That’s what we’ll do.”

Soon, the group found their way to the vicinity of the West District Orcs' massage parlor under the cover of night. Although it was long past opening hours, the group rushed in and immediately began smashing and ransacking the place.

Several orc employees who remained at the store heard the commotion and came out to check the situation, immediately confronting the group.

"Awooo?? Roar—!"

Marin and the others immediately drew their weapons, while the orc girls immediately sounded the alarm.

Ding-ling-ling-ling——

How can something like this exist?!
Just then, a figure appeared in the lobby of the massage parlor through the light, as if summoned, manifesting a beautiful face and a light yellow tail.

Not only Marin and his group, but even the orc girl was taken aback.

"Princess Lily...?"

What they were pulling... wasn't it the alarm bell to remind the Knights?

Ah Hu Lili stood there blankly, looking at a group of men in black holding weapons standing in front of her in the lobby of the massage parlor.

"?"

Am I dreaming?

But soon she noticed the smashed walls in the store and immediately revealed a low growl of hostility.

"Roar……"

A man in black rushed up, but she dodged and kicked him through the ceiling, trapping him inside and making it impossible to pry him out.

Marin and the others: "??!"

The remaining people rushed forward, but they acted like service players, being kicked around like balls without making a sound. After a series of kicks, they all went back to where they came from, sinking into the wall and leaving spider web-like patterns.

Marin also fell off the wall and vomited blood.

"How can it be."

The gap in strength is terrifying.

Now only a few wounded players and Luo Wei supporting them from the rear remain on the field, while Ah Hu Lili, dressed in pajamas, acts like a war god, easily crushing the weapons she has taken along the way with her claws.

Faced with such a disparity, the group quickly retreated towards the outside. Marin also urged Luo Wei to hurry up and move in that direction, but Luo Wei stopped there.

"No need to say anything, I'll buy you some time."

Marin glanced at him in shock, but said nothing more. Perhaps it was this quality that had attracted him in the first place.

He was clearly just a magician.

Marin, who left through gritted teeth, was the last one in the hall. Once everyone else was gone, Ah Hu Lili disengaged from her fighting stance with disdain.

"What are you doing?"

Ah Hu Lili recognized him immediately. When Luo Wei took off his mask and revealed his face, the orc girls who were still wondering immediately rushed over with surprise and joy.

He quickly gestured to the girls not to get excited, since those people hadn't gone far yet.

“It’s just an act,” Rowe said. “But you’d better not stay in White Harbor given the current situation, you know that, right?”

The orc girls looked at each other. After all, war was coming soon, and they were considering packing their things to go back to the valley to stay with their families in the next couple of days. They just couldn't bear to leave this shop.

Ah Hu Lili gently swayed her tail, "You..."

“Don’t worry, we might be able to reopen in a few days,” Rowe smiled. “So, time is of the essence, let’s get started.”

"?"

"Start with what?"

Luo Wei calmly said, "Hit me."

……

Ten minutes later, Marin waited anxiously for the staggering, bruised and swollen Rowe.

He was leaning against the wall, having narrowly escaped death. Marin quickly helped him down and handed him his best medicine.

That's really ruthless...

Because they said they could gang up on her, all the girls rushed forward. Lily, seemingly not wanting to be beaten up, ended up hitting the hardest. I guess I haven't done anything to displease her lately…

"Sorry, this time it was my fault," he said, choosing to continue playing the part.

At that moment, Marin firmly supported his shoulder.

“No, you’re not the one who’s wrong—” He stared at him intently.

"You are an upright man."
