King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 781 The Youth's Anger
"Debt collection...debt collection..."

This time, the young master spoke in a low voice and walked at a slow pace. He walked down the street with his head down, and in the dim light and flashing lights, people would think he was just a zombie.

It was evening when he came down the main street of Fontaine. It was a good time, a good day for doing things—for him and for others.

"Hey! Did you hear me? This month you must pay back 70% of the money you owe me!"

Next to the shop in front, a group of fierce-looking men surrounded a woman who looked like the owner.

They all look ferocious and look like they are not easy to mess with.

"No... didn't you say you'd pay it back by the end of this month? This... it's not even halfway through yet!" Surrounded by so many people, the owner's speech became intermittent.

"We don't care about that. If you don't want to suffer, hand Mora over immediately! Otherwise..."

There was a fierce light flashing in the sturdy men's eyes. It looked like if the store owner dared to say "no", the scene that followed would definitely be inappropriate for children.

"Hey! A group of big, strong men threatening a woman, they are really capable."

The young master relaxed his muscles and smiled disdainfully.

"Oh, it looks like the nosy person is here." Seeing that the young master was not very tall, several strong men began to laugh at him unscrupulously.

In response to their ridicule, the young man simply held up the bill with one hand and gave a thumbs-up with the other.

"I'm not meddling in other people's business. Before you ask for the debt, could you please settle your accounts first?"

"Brother, it looks like someone from the Northland Bank!" When several strong men saw the seal on the bill, how could they not know that it was the Northland Bank that came to collect the debt?

They took a few steps back at first, but when they saw that the young master was the only one coming, they became more active.

Everyone looked at each other, gradually approached the young master and quietly surrounded him.

"Swish, swish, swish!" They put their arms at the waist and pulled them out, and they all had a steel rod in their hands.

"Haha, kid, if you want to blame someone, blame your boss for letting you come here to collect the debt!"

"Brothers, come on over!"

After a loud roar, everyone rushed towards the young master waving sticks.

And then...and then nothing more.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

"Boom!"

……

All the people who surrounded the young master flew out. They covered their injured parts and lay on the ground, gasping for breath, unable to recover for a long time.

"Ouch..."

"when!!!"

The splashing cement debris hit the leader's face, making him unable to breathe or arch his body.

"I have a better conscience than you. This month, I want to see you return 50%!"

"Crack!"

The young man exerted force with his palm, and half of the steel rod inserted into the ground was buried in the hard street.

"Understand... Understood!" The people on the ground nodded like pecking at rice, for fear of making the young master angry again.

"Huh! One deal done!" Seeing that the "customer" agreed, the young master couldn't help but feel relieved.

That’s great, there are only 13 orders left before we can call it a day!

"Ten... thirteen singles..." The young master turned into his previous zombie appearance again, completely different from his previous energetic appearance.

"Thank...thank you!"

The young man suddenly felt something extra in his hand. He looked up and found that the shop owner who had just been surrounded had brought him hot tea.

"Remember to borrow money from formal institutions in the future, such as our Northland Bank. We will never collect debts in advance."

The young master raised his head, not forgetting to attract business for the Northland Bank. Then he kicked the burly man next to him and continued:
"Her debt now belongs to Northland Bank. Do you have any objection?"

"No...no!"

"Okay, I'll give you an invoice. Remember to pay off the debt within the time limit."

Writing and drawing quickly, the young master soon issued a new bill. In the process of debt collection, this kind of thing happened too many times, and he was so skilled at it.

He stuffed the bill into the shopkeeper's hand, and without waiting for her to thank him, he bent over, lowered his arms, and walked to the next debtor.

From time to time, you can see him taking a sip of the tea in his hand.

…“Tap! Tap! Tap!”

It was already late at night, and the street lights in many places had been turned off. Even in some places where there was still light, the brightness was no brighter than before.

The young man leaned over to the side of the road and sat on a reclining chair on either side of the street and began to daydream. He stretched out his hands, slumped on the back of the chair, and tilted his head up, looking like he was asleep.

“Buzz…”

On the deserted street, only the humming sound of machinery could be heard in the distance. After lying there for a long time, the young master finally opened his eyes.

"Hey, you guys are really patient. You've been following me for almost a whole night, and you still haven't made a move?"

"call……"

There was only the sound of the wind around, as if what had just happened was just the young master's mumbling.

Seeing this, the latter did not tolerate the stalker behind him. He simply pulled out a hunting knife from his waist and threw it fiercely into the corner in the distance.

"Shh!"

The hunting knife sank into the bushes, causing the branches and leaves on them to shake. Then, the thin branches of the bushes broke, and the hunting knife that had just sunk into them flew towards the paralyzed young master.

"when!"

The young man who looked like he was about to die just now suddenly woke up at this moment. He raised his leg and kicked, and the hunting knife was kicked away.

"Unexpected bonus!"

The young man jumped up from the bench, holding two swords in his hands, with excitement in his eyes.

Who would have thought that a big fish would jump out of the boring debt collection work? Although he didn't know the specific strength of the guy, based on the move just now, he knew that he could be happy for a while.

"Swish!" A black shadow jumped out from the corner. It seemed that after being discovered, the man did not want to get entangled with the young master any more.

"Haha, you can come and go as you please, then isn't it too cheap for me as an executive officer?"

Seeing this, the young master laughed twice, then chased after him at a faster speed.

"boom!"

When the two people collided, the air on the street was compressed into a circle of spreading white waves, and the cement road surface also cracked inch by inch.

"Executive? Haha, you don't look like one." The man opposite shook his head and then kicked him out.

"Boom!"

There was another loud bang, and the two separated.

The young master patted the footprints on his clothes and frowned.

"Only you?"

"Because you're a little different, the rest of them left."

The man walked under the flickering light, and the young master was finally able to see his face clearly, and then the indifference on his face was filled with shock.

"..."

He was silent for a while, then slowly asked: "How old are you?"

"I'm not sure. From what other people have said... I'm probably around fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen? If you really care, take the middle number, fifteen."

The boy scratched his bald head which was just beginning to grow hair and said nonchalantly.

No one had ever told him about age, and those past days were not worth remembering at all.

If possible, he would prefer to rate himself as one year old.

"Fifteen……"

The young man took a few deep breaths, then put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter.

"Haha, kid, I'm very optimistic about you! I became an executive officer when I was about your age!"

"You might be able to surpass me!"

"Hahaha……"

His laughter gradually became dry and paused, because the young man found that after he said this, the young man in front of him suddenly changed.

"Hey, didn't anyone tell you that [Executive Officer] is disgusting?!"

"Oh!"

A large number of sparks bulged out of the boy's sleeves, and then a burning sword was held in his hand.

Holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, the young man pointed the tip of the sword at the young master. The anger in his heart turned into a faint flame, burning throughout his body.
