Chapter 23 Oak Town

It is of course good news for Roger, he only wants to buy some necessities in the town, as for paying more for it, it doesn't matter, so he immediately said to the man: "As long as I can buy what I need, I don't mind Mind paying a little extra!"

"Okay, please come with me." The man exchanged glances with his companion, smiled and said to Roger: "Let's find a place to discuss it."

Roger was also eager to buy food, so he followed the other party without much thought.Anyway, he has twenty bodyguards on call, so he is not afraid of what tricks these three people can come up with.

Several people introduced themselves as they walked.The person who took the initiative to talk to Roger was called Ivan, and the other two were Jason and Rick. The three claimed to be mercenaries protecting the safety of the town.However, Roger found out that among the three, only Ivan had a dagger, and Jason and Rick only had two wooden sticks with iron hoops hanging between them, so he didn't quite believe their mercenary identities.

But Roger only wanted to buy what he wanted, and was not interested in the identities of the few people.The few people hadn't walked far on the streets in the center of the town when a four or five-year-old boy suddenly ran out of a house on the side of the road and accidentally bumped into Ivan's leg heavily.

Where can a child hit an adult?Immediately sat down on the ground and burst into tears.The kind-hearted Lisa was crying pitifully, and just wanted to help him up to comfort him, but Ivan kicked the child first and scolded, "Little bastard, are you blind? How dare you hit me!"

Of course the child cried even more after being kicked by Ivan.The boy's mother hurried out of the house after hearing the crying, and when the person the child bumped into was Ivan, her face turned pale with fright. She didn't bother to pick up the child and apologized to him repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Mr. Ivan, my child He is still young and ignorant, please forgive him once!"

Although the child's mother's attitude was very sincere, Ivan didn't want to let it go. He yelled at the other party viciously: "Do you know that the child's behavior just now was to attack the guards of the town? This is absolutely unforgivable!"

Roger frowned when Ivan kicked the kid.Hearing that he even brought this up to the exaggeration of "attacking the town guard" now, I despise this guy's character even more.

But Ivan and his accomplices didn't notice Roger's unhappiness, or they didn't pay attention to Roger, an outsider, at all.The three surrounded the mother and child and threatened loudly. Not only did the boy start crying, but even the child's mother was so frightened that she shed tears.

"If you attack the guards, you will be kicked out of the town!" Ivan froze to scare the young mother: "Now that the undead creatures are raging outside, do you know what happens when you get kicked out of the town?"

The boy's mother was really frightened, hugged her child tightly and tremblingly said: "Please... let us go!"

It was obviously not the first time that Ivan and the other two had done this kind of thing, and they already had a tacit understanding with each other.Seeing that the timing was almost up, Ivan gave Rick a wink, and the latter immediately pretended to say to the boy's mother: "Actually, Mr. Ivan had better talk, as long as you can express your sincere apology, he will definitely Forgive you."

"I'm really sorry...it's true!" The young mother didn't know what to do, just repeated the words over and over again.

"Some things are useless just by talking about them." Jason also took the opportunity to join in and said: "It takes action!"

Jason's words reminded the young woman, she looked at him blankly and said, "Action... what action?"

Rick reminded without losing the opportunity: "Like losing some money or something!"

"But...but I don't have any money." The child's mother said with a look of embarrassment.

"No money?" Ivan squinted at the young woman's plump chest and said, "If you don't have any money, hand over your necklace!"

The child's mother was startled by Ivan's words, and quickly clutched her chest and said, "This necklace is the only relic left by the child's father, I can't give it to you!"

"It's okay if you don't give it, then I'll drive you out of town!" Ivan pressed on every step of the way, without giving the other party a chance to breathe.

The quarrel between several people has already attracted many small town residents, but Ivan and the others are obviously used to running rampant in Oak Town. Although many people showed unbearable expressions, no one dared to come forward to persuade them.

The boy's mother was pressed hard by Ivan and others, and no one spoke for her, her heart was already in a mess.The child in his arms cried more and more, and Ivan found a chance under the panic, and broke her necklace.

"Give it back to me!" The young woman instinctively rushed towards Ivan, trying to get back her husband's belongings.

However, how could Ivan make the other party happy, kicking the young woman to the ground.He kicked very hard, and the young woman's head hit the ground heavily, and a stream of blood immediately flowed from her fairly upright face.Her child ran over crying and wanted to help his mother up, but such a child had no strength, and he couldn't help his mother who fell on the ground.

Ivan and the others laughed triumphantly at the young woman, without any expression of guilt on their faces.Not only did they not feel ashamed at all for their actions, but they also felt very honored.

Roger has long been unaccustomed to the actions of Ivan and others. If it weren't for being in a strange place and not wanting to cause trouble, he would have taken action to teach these guys a lesson.At this time, the mother and son sat on the street hugging each other and weeping. Roger didn't go down any more, turned around and left with a soft snort.

Ivan and others even bully their orphans and widows, which is not a good thing at all.Roger had already decided that even if they did get what they needed, he would never work with them again.

Ivan was laughing triumphantly, when suddenly Roger turned and left, he immediately winked at his accomplices, and the three immediately surrounded Roger and the others.

"Mr. Li, why are you leaving before the deal is done?" At this time, Ivan had completely torn off his disguise, and sneered viciously: "You don't have to continue the deal if you don't want to, but you have to compensate me for the loss!"

Ivan's words were extremely arrogant, but the mercenary group he was in was currently protecting Oak Town. As the little leader of the mercenary group, Ivan was naturally afraid of what he did, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.

After listening to Ivan's unreasonable words, Roger smiled instead of anger, and asked the other party lightly: "What compensation do you want?"

The proud Ivan didn't notice that Roger's hand was holding down the hilt of the sword. He thought that the other party was afraid and planned to give in, so he immediately pointed at Lisa and said loudly: "Leave this girl, or none of you will think about it." Get out of Oaktown!"

Ivan was very domineering when he said this, and he thought that after hearing this, Roger would obediently send that beautiful girl to him.

However, before Ivan finished speaking, Roger's face changed, and he saw a flash of sword light suddenly, and a dagger was already heavily pressed on Ivan's neck.
