Chapter 44 Nader
The middle-aged man closed his eyes, resigned to his fate, but after waiting for a long time, the red-skinned wild boar's attacks did not land on him, nor did he feel any intense pain.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw that the once mighty red-skinned wild boar was now lying on its back, with a long wound on its body, and it was clear that it would not survive.

The middle-aged man stared in astonishment at what was happening before him. Clearly, everything was telling him that Ye Feng had killed the red-skinned wild boar. He couldn't believe that such a young man possessed such strength.

Ye Feng didn't care whether the middle-aged man believed him or not, and started skinning the red-skinned wild boar. The red-skinned wild boar's hide was good; it was a good material for making cloth armor.

"Thank you for saving me, young hero. May I ask your esteemed name?" After Ye Feng finished what he was doing, the middle-aged man behind him clasped his hands in a fist salute and said to Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now." After saying that, Ye Feng turned around and prepared to leave. He could tell that there wasn't much to gain from these guys, and besides, it wouldn't be appropriate to take their things in front of them. So Ye Feng decided not to be shameless and do it.

"Young Master Ye, please wait! You saved me, and I haven't repaid you yet." Just as Ye Feng was about to leave, the middle-aged man called out to him.

"Oh, you want to repay me, right? Well, I'm not greedy. Just give me a hundred or two hundred thousand purple gold coins, and a few dozen flame crystals or something." Since the other party wanted to repay him, Ye Feng started making exorbitant demands.

“My name is Nader, and my status is not as high as Young Hero Ye thinks. I can’t afford to offer so many things,” the middle-aged man said with a wry smile. “If Young Hero Ye doesn’t mind, why don’t you come back to Star Moon City with me? I will prepare a feast as a token of my gratitude.”

"No, forget it then. Food is fine too. Let's go, let's go." Ye Feng hadn't expected Nader to bring out much, but after hearing Nader's words, Ye Feng was at least certain that Nader was neither a noble nor from a prominent family.

This is ridiculous! Everyone else saves powerful and influential families, but I can't seem to save anyone. Looks like there's no hope of extorting me.

"What are you muttering about, Young Master Ye? You can tell me if you have something to say." Ye Feng's grumbling slipped out unintentionally, but fortunately his voice was low and Nader didn't hear it clearly.

"No, no, nothing at all. You misheard me, Nader. Aren't we going back? Let's go, let's go." Ye Feng quickly covered up. If people found out, he probably wouldn't get any good wine and food as a reward. "By the way, just call me Ye Feng. It's really not used to hearing it as 'young hero'."

"This...is not good."

"Stop talking nonsense, that's it." Nader was about to delay, but Ye Feng didn't give him another chance and rushed towards Star Moon City. Seeing Ye Feng's attitude, Nader didn't insist anymore and just followed.

Inside the Xiaoxiang Restaurant in Xingyue City, Ye Feng and Nader were enjoying drinks in a private room.

"Ye Feng, thanks to you this time, let me toast you again." Nader raised his glass and toasted Ye Feng once more.

"Cheers! We're not leaving until we're drunk tonight!" Ye Feng was already slightly tipsy, but he still drank it all down in one gulp in response to Nader's toast. He was joking; back in the day, when they went to karaoke, his buddies and he'd drink until they were stuffed. There was no reason for him to back down. "You've got a good capacity for alcohol," Nader said, also downing his glass in one go.

"By the way, Nader, how are you going to explain the death of the red-skinned wild boar to the Bei family?" Ye Feng suddenly asked.

After getting to know him over this period of time, Ye Feng realized that Nader was actually just a nobody working for the Bei family in Star Moon City. He didn't have any spiritual power or martial arts skills, but Nader's unique business acumen and business ability allowed him to do quite well in the Bei family.

Managing the arena, selecting gladiators, and introducing magical beasts—this job wasn't exactly prestigious, but for someone like Nader, who had no connection to the Beelzebub family and lacked any real strength, reaching such a position was already quite good.

"Sigh, I'm probably going to suffer this time. I'll definitely get some pay cut." Nader was also very frustrated when he talked about it. "Damn it, I wonder which guy is plotting against me behind my back."

There were some things that Nader couldn't tell Ye Feng. Nader was usually very tight-lipped and wouldn't reveal too much. It was because of this good habit and ability that Nader had gradually risen to his current position.

However, facing his savior Ye Feng today, and after a few drinks, Nader became less guarded. After all, in Nader's view, if it weren't for Ye Feng, he probably wouldn't even be alive. So what was there to hide? Although what he knew was something that was hard to talk about in business, it wasn't exactly a secret.

It turns out that Nader was in charge of bringing in monsters and gladiators to fight. These battles were usually life-or-death struggles. In addition to selecting strong gladiators and monsters who could put on a spectacular show, Nader was also responsible for promoting and operating peripheral betting games. This was also a way for the gladiatorial arena to make money, and shady promotions were very common.

Given Nader's status, he rarely personally escorted magical beasts back to Starmoon City anymore. However, the red-skinned wild boar he acquired this time was somewhat special, as it was considered one of the stronger magical beasts among the first-tier magical beasts.

Although the arena attracts audiences with battles between monsters and gladiators, there are actually very few real monsters; most are just powerful wild beasts.

This time, it wasn't just about acquiring a magical beast, but also a powerful red-skinned wild boar. This made Nader take it seriously, and he personally escorted the beast. More importantly, he wanted to befriend the bounty hunter group that could capture the red-skinned wild boar and establish a long-term friendly relationship so that they would sell him their catch in the future. That's why Nader was willing to make the trip himself.

However, an accident occurred this time. After capturing such magical beasts, there is usually a control potion to control their actions. This potion has no side effects, but it will become ineffective after a period of time, so the control potion must be injected into the magical beast regularly.

However, this is where the problem lies. Nader had already injected the red-skinned boar with a control potion, but the potion not only had no effect, but instead caused the boar to go berserk. The subordinates he brought along were not powerful martial artists, but just ordinary martial artists, and their purpose was only to prevent some people from robbing them.

These subordinates lived up to expectations and were unable to withstand the rampaging red-skinned wild boars. They were quickly killed, and if Ye Feng hadn't appeared in time, Nader would have also been killed.

Nader couldn't understand why the potion hadn't worked and instead caused the red-skinned boars to go berserk. However, Nader was certain that someone was trying to sabotage him.
