"Huh? That's Ankai?!"

Widow Wang uttered a stunned sound…

Hanks nodded with a wry smile.

Now that we've run into An Kai, we can't leave even if we wanted to...

wrong!

It seems that with Ankai around, he doesn't need to leave...

"Let's pack up and go back to the city lord's mansion to wait for him. Also, find the list I have of those who have collected protection money in recent years."

After recognizing who it was, Hanks didn't hesitate for long and quickly packed up the stall he had set up for just over ten minutes.

In the increasingly hot weather, and perhaps also due to his anxiety, beads of sweat appeared on Hanks' forehead as he packed up his stall…

Widow Wang gently wiped the sweat from Hanks' forehead, seemingly without thinking, and asked, "Why are you sweating?"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Without a second thought, Hanks retorted, "I'm in great shape, it's all this damn weather's fault!"

"Alright, alright, I believe you," Widow Wang replied perfunctorily.

He took Hanks' arm and walked towards the city.

The two figures moved very fast, as if some kind of magical beast was chasing them.

Faintly, Hanks's defiant explanation could be heard: "I'm really in great shape, believe me, the sweating is definitely because of this damn weather!"

...

At the outer city entrance of Chaos City.

"This damn weather is so unfriendly to me, the Dragon Lord!"

Nurnexus, who looked like a big black rat, panted heavily with his tongue lolling out, like a dog that had been heated.

Ankai glanced at Nurnexius.

One day inside the mage tower, plus five days spent outside.

He had already figured out Nurnexus's despicable character.

He keeps calling himself "Master Long," but before he does, he doesn't even look at his own face, which looks exactly like a rat.

In other words, Ankai is currently unable to summon the [Bloodlust Rat: Lv12], otherwise the two brothers, apart from their skin color, would be almost identical in size and appearance...

However, considering that this guy could provide him with a [Premium] level magical beast every week, Ankai chose to tolerate it...

It took five days to walk from where the Mage Tower is located to here.

It's not that Ankai and his team are slow.

Instead, Ankai had four days to fulfill his role as a "teacher".

Standing at the outer entrance of Chaos City, An Kai's forehead furrowed and veins throbbed as he recalled his four days as a "teacher"...

If it weren't for the fact that Wayne's future research would not only benefit him but also bring him huge profits.

Ankai would have slapped this guy to death long ago.

Over four days, Wayne asked 53 questions about Ankai's [Freezing Spell] changes, for a total of 561 questions.

During this time, not only Ankai couldn't stand it, but even Malken, a fifth-tier [Assassin] who could kill without batting an eye, took the initiative to find Ankai and apologized twelve times for Wayne's matter...

Fortunately, it happened a day ago.

Wayne said that his Wind Blade technique had improved by understanding the variations of Ankai's [Freeze] technique.

All that's needed is a quiet place to complete the further analysis and arrive at a result that will satisfy Ankai.

"Teacher, are we studying magic here?"

call…

Ankai took a deep breath and then exhaled gently.

He's now somewhat allergic to the words "spell research"...

He glanced at the excited Wayne and nodded slightly.

I don't know where this guy gets his energy from. He hasn't rested for five days and he's still full of energy.

"Great! This means my research on Wind Blade Technique can finally achieve a breakthrough!"

"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer sheet!"

Wayne seemed oblivious to Ankai's expression, shouting excitedly, clenching his right fist, and bending his arm in a gesture of self-encouragement.

Ankai's expressionless lips twitched slightly a few times, as if to indicate that he was responding to Wayne with a smile...

"You'd better succeed in your research!"

He muttered to himself, then led Wayne and the tongue-out Nurnexus toward the outer city of Chaos.

Ankai was able to answer Wayne's 561 questions about the [Freeze Spell] because while he was using skill points to increase his proficiency in the spell, he was also mastering a solid theoretical foundation.

He might not understand the Wind Blade Technique at all, but in terms of the spells he himself has mastered, theoretically speaking, no one in the entire desert can compare to him.

After all, not many people would expend a lot of energy and resources to improve a support spell like Freeze...

Once inside the city, the outer city of Chaos City was not as bustling as it had been when An Kai first arrived.

However, some people had already set up stalls at the city gate.

Compared to the street vendors of the past, some of today's vendors still exude a sense of "naivety"...

That's right, it's immature.

Their awkward and hesitant demeanor would have made it obvious, even to anyone but An Kai, that the products they were selling might have been tampered with.

Unlike the vendors outside the original Chaos City, who not only sit back and relax, but also offer to help you choose a decent burial site if you point out that they are selling counterfeit goods or overpriced items.

Shaking his head, An Kai continued walking towards the Evergreen Gang's headquarters. He had seen that old bastard Hanks run away as fast as he could after seeing him.

His father came, but instead of greeting him, he ran away?

Ankai is preparing to teach Hanks about "filial piety!"

"Old man, I have some legendary quality armor fragments here, would you like them?"

"I think we're destined to meet, so I'll give you a discount!"

An Kai, who was about to leave, paused, glanced back at the trash on the stall, and smiled disdainfully.

Did they end up hurting themselves?

These outsiders really have no sense of propriety. Didn't they see that the original merchants from the outer city of Chaos City behaved themselves and didn't say a word when they saw them?

With a cold laugh, An Kai didn't respond and continued walking into the city...

"Scum! Are you blind?!"

"How dare you try to scam my boss with this garbage?!"

Just now, Ankai briefly opened a telepathic connection with Nurnexus.

In an instant, Nurnexus understood what to do.

With a swift movement, he swatted the items off the stall with one paw, and with a gentle force, knocked the vendor to the ground.

Standing on top of him, Nurnexus's face was fierce, his teeth bared, as he angrily cursed the clueless newcomer...

"My lord, please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"

"I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise..."

Instead of showing sympathy, the other merchants from the outer city of Chaos City who were watching him laughed and mocked him.

In this chaotic city, there is a saying: the stranger the behavior, the stronger the power.

Those who behaved strangely and were weak had long been killed by those who disliked them…

An Kai's current appearance falls into the bizarre category.

The man had an elderly appearance, followed by a young man who looked like a fool, and a large black rat that walked with a pigeon-toed gait...

Having made it all the way from the desert, and remaining calm and composed after entering the outer city of Chaos City.

This fully demonstrates that these two humans and one beast are powerful and have a strong foundation.

as predicted.

A first-tier, eighth-level merchant, a newcomer fleeing famine from seven surrounding countries, was easily subdued by the talking monster in the strange group...

"teacher…"

"Is there something you need?"

Wayne suppressed the words he was about to say, wondering if it would be inappropriate to ask a question about the [Freezing Spell] at this moment.

Ankai led Wayne toward the Evergreen Gang's headquarters.

Behind them, Nurnexus arrogantly trampled on the merchant, eventually breaking both of the merchant's arms, and ran back to Ankai's side.

Running back to Ankai's side, Nurnexus asked, somewhat puzzled, "Boss, why didn't you let me kill him?"

"Kill, kill, kill! Will killing solve the problem?"

"waste!"

Nurnexus was suddenly taken aback. What was going on?

Why did it suddenly become the target of a barrage of insults?

An Kai snorted coldly and didn't offer any further explanation. Was he going to say that he felt annoyed because he was thinking about his four-day experience with the "teacher"?

No, pets are meant to soothe the mind; that's something Lazel once said…

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Evergreen Gang, An Kai witnessed firsthand the current state of the outer city of Chaos City.

On both sides of the street, there are often residents with cautious eyes, looking back every few steps as they walk...

From their posture, Ankai could easily recognize their origins.

—Refugees from seven countries surrounding the desert.

Meanwhile, the few remaining residents of the outer city of Chaos City adopted the opposite attitude, standing openly in the sunlight, looking at these cautious residents with cold, mocking laughter.

His eyes would occasionally flash with a fierce light, as if he had made some kind of decision.

An Kai is not a saint; he doesn't care about the lives or deaths of others.

He had no sympathy for these guys.

However, An Kai had other plans in mind when he returned to the outer city of Chaos City this time.

He planned to intervene in the fate of these people within the outer city of Chaos…

After all, these are his future resource providers!

Looking at the clean gate of the Evergreen Gang: "Old man, you know how to enjoy life!"

After muttering something, An Kai took out his [Brute Force Staff] from the mage tower, held it in his hand, and walked towards the Evergreen Gang.

Before implementing the plan, there was one thing he needed to do.

That was to demonstrate his strength to Hanks and Reed, the current outer city lords of Chaos City.

This is to facilitate future work during the renovation of the outer city of Chaos City…

Having not seen each other for nearly two years, and having been in a high position for so long, it's inevitable that other thoughts will arise.

Ankai understood all of this, which is why he was prepared to physically correct Hanks and the others' inappropriate ideas...

Upon seeing Ankai's state, Nurnexus immediately understood what to do.

It quietly took a step back, worried that Ankai might accidentally hurt itself while casting his spell…

Holding the [Brute Force Staff], An Kai strode to the gate of the Evergreen Gang's headquarters.

Just as he pushed open the door, about to erupt in anger…

I saw nine large boxes placed in the courtyard…

The box was gleaming with gold, filled with gold coins…

Behind these nine boxes was Hanks, his face beaming with "joy"...

"Young master! You're finally back!"

"I've been keeping yours safe!"

"Look, all the records are here."

Hanks chuckled and pulled out a 30-centimeter-thick ledger from his hand.

This scene made An Kai retract his initial urge to lash out.

He sheathed the [Brute Force Staff], his face lighting up with the joy of reuniting with an old friend: "Hanks, I've missed you so much!"
