I'll forge a new destiny

Chapter 27 Acting, anyone can act
  As a port shaped on the basis of a moving mountain, regardless of whether it is a legend or not, at least in terms of its size, the Port of Eris is worthy of its name.

I didn't calculate how much time had passed, but Zhang Xing asked for directions more than once, perhaps because of the inherent enthusiasm of the port residents, or because he saw the watermelon rind behind him. Those he stopped were very kind, and not only pointed him in the direction of the Myrlan family, but some even tried to guide him.

As he gradually moved away from the seaside and entered the interior of the city, most of the people he met were no longer laborers making a living. But there are some residents who obviously have lingering charm. They may still look hurried, but they obviously don't care much about irrelevant people and things.

Not a good person to ask for directions.

So Zhang Xing had to find someone who was not local but knew the way to ask.

Just like the group of people in front of him now.

These people are probably not residents of Eris, but in any case they should know this port better than Zhang Xing. At least everyone who is trying to make a living in Eris should know how the Mellann family will go.

But it seems that Zhang Xing's good luck has been used up.

'You can win the lottery with this...'

Still trying to lead him the way, but this time Zhang Xing did not refuse.

He was like a rich young man who knew nothing, walking into the long-awaited wilderness alone with a treasure that could make him die a dozen times.

Following the men in black robes, they walked from the street with warm sunshine to a hidden alley.

"Your shortcut is too difficult to take. There are actually roads in the upper city of Eris that have not been repaired. It seems that the Mellon family is not as good as father said." Zhang Xingpin commented on his experience along the way, "No. It was in vain that I sneaked out while they were talking about things. Sure enough, only in this way can we see the really interesting things."

While leading the way, the formation unknowingly changed from just leading the way to protecting Zhang Xing. The five men in black robes paused slightly and looked at each other.

The leader turned around and smiled flatteringly at Zhang Xing: "It turns out he is a young master."

"Wrong -" Zhang Xing patted the shoulder of the man in black robe next to him, felt the power of the resonance feedback slightly, and acted like he was giving orders. "It's the eldest young master!"

The leader did not speak, but the man in black robe next to Zhang Xing faced his gaze and answered hurriedly.

"That's such a pity. Only a few of us have the honor to serve you, young master."

"To hear what you mean, there are others among you." Zhang Xing's expression didn't change much, looking carefree. "It's okay. I don't mind giving you a little more reward if you perform well. How many of you are there?"

Realizing that he shouldn't say more, the man in black robe did not continue to respond and just smiled.

Then, the four people got closer to Zhang Xing.

"Hey, I don't want to go back now."

Looking at the leader's back, Zhang Xing looked completely dandy.

"I am very interested in the not-so-nice parts of this port. If you can take me to some fun places, I will give you some unimaginable rewards."

Naive, trying to do something again.

"We are not from Eris."

"That's why I asked you to take me to a not-so-good place. This will give me an advantage in the subsequent negotiations with Mellon. Or should I say that even people like you are right not long after I arrive?" Is this place starting to have feelings?”

Zhang Xing frowned, showing his discomfort with people approaching him, which made the men in black robes stay away knowingly.

"In that case, the Mellann family does have a hand."

The leader turned around and looked at Zhang Xing, his eyes scanning him carefully.

Except for the long knife on their waist that is almost engraved in their souls and that they will never forget - it is hard to imagine that even though it is such a precious thing, the Mellann family seems not to care at all.

The same goes for the anchor behind Zhang Xing. Not only is it a rare treasure, it is also full of Myrlann's mark!
  I think only the most distinguished guests can get such good things as souvenirs.

The materials are cherished, the production is exquisite, and it is full of sincerity. And most importantly...

No use.

It's too fancy as a weapon, too light as an anchor, and only as an ornament, the dandy's ornament seems to be quite qualified. ‘Just taking away the Blade of Shadow would be a waste. ’

With this thought in his mind, the leader tried his best to show Zhang Xing what it meant to be smiling but not smiling.

It can be seen that he hasn't done this for a long time. If he didn't have bad intentions, Zhang Xing would definitely not be able to bear it.

But fortunately, he received professional training from experts.

"Don't laugh when you have something to say."

The leader suppressed his smile and looked like he didn't dare to say anything.

"I mean, it's a dangerous thing to speak ill of Maelran in Port Eris."

"You have to pay more, right?"

He drew a money ticket and threw it in the leader's face. He watched his face change from stunned to trembling with anger, and then his whole body started to tremble after seeing the number on the money ticket.

It's really fun.

He picked up the money and put it in his pocket.

"Money is a trivial matter. It's just that we can't take you to some places in public..."

Seeing Zhang Xing's face start to turn gloomy, he knew that for such a moody playboy, reward is a small matter, and dissatisfaction is a big deal.

The leader did not try to continue to frame some money tickets, but changed the subject wisely.

"As you said, a family like Mellon is indeed very capable, so why don't they have spies in those places? If they know your whereabouts in advance, it will not be a good thing for your plan. "

"Hahahaha, it makes sense."

Zhang Xing patted the fearful leader on the shoulder with approval, and Zhang Xing looked satisfied that he was thinking about himself.

"So if you don't mind, where we're staying now..."

"It must not be a good place."

"For someone as noble as you, how can the port of Eris be a good place?"

"You're right, lead the way!"

The actions of the black-robed men became a bit unscrupulous. They did not need to worry about Zhang Xing's thoughts now. At least before entering their own territory, they did not have to worry about Zhang Xing's suspected path.

And when Zhang Xing entered his own territory, it didn't matter if he doubted it.

Zhang Xing thought so too. After all, acting is a very tiring job, and when the other party doesn't intend to act, even if he reveals some flaws, the other party will subconsciously cover it up for him.

The drama ends when the courtyard door is closed.

He stopped and looked at the leader who turned around due to his strange movement and stared at his leader. He looked past the leader's body and towards the closed hut in the courtyard.

"It's not as bad here as you said~"

"After all, it's our own place to live, so we still have to clean it up."

"This place is not too small. Normally you won't disturb the neighbors when you clean it up, right?"

"It's not like you haven't seen anything along the way. How can there be any disturbance in such a remote place?"

"Then think about it, if a few people die, it must be easy to clean up, right?"
