Master Changsheng

Chapter 33: Double-crossing?!

"The Fifth Princess of the Principality of Bucklin?!"

"elder sister…"

The old man from the bounty tower showed a look of surprise. He never expected that this guy, who was at the first level of the first rank, would actually have a heavyweight bounty!

Will Bookering murmured something, but his face showed no surprise.

As if they already knew...

He quickened his pace and approached Ankai. "Sir," he said, "may I go see my sister?"

Ankai glanced at Will Bookering and finally nodded slowly.

She pointed to the oasis in the distance and whispered, "Flame..."

"Thank you, sir!" Will-Buckerling said, and walked towards Sally-Buckerling.

He had already guessed what the bounty was in An Kai's possession.

In the entire desert, what else could be of the same value as his sister?

It was only his sister!

The reason he brought the bounty board along was due to Will Bucklin's personality; he always kept his promises.

Will Bucklin stopped before the flames, and faintly, he saw a blurry figure within them…

"Sister, it's me, Will!"

"Will?! You're alive!"

Amidst the flames, Sally Bucklin's surprised voice suddenly rang out!

"Have you seen Hanks?! He's the one who saved me!"

"Will! Father is gone. He was framed by those four villains!"

"They've sided with a foreign race!"

Sally Buklin, engulfed in flames, is overjoyed to reunite with her brother.

He spoke in short, fragmented sentences, recounting the things that had been building up in his heart...

"Hanks?" Will-Bucklin gave a wry smile. Sure enough, the adult's initial idea was to hand his sister over to the bounty agency.

The names are all fake…

Listening to his sister's description of Ankai, Will Bucklin decided not to expose the lie.

He interrupted Sally Buklin's reminiscing, speaking sternly, "Sister, listen carefully to what I'm about to say, and do as I say!"

"Don't ask, don't pry, I won't hurt you!"

Amidst the flames, Sally Buklin remained silent for a moment before responding, "Okay..."

"Sister, you'll be here in a bit..."

...

"What is its value?"

The old man at the bounty post laughed loudly and continued, "Worth 3000 gold coins!"

Ankai smiled upon hearing the number.

3000 gold coins can be exchanged for nearly 3000 low-grade magic stones, so he won't have to worry about skill points!

With 3000 gold coins, he could buy enough supplies to last him decades in seclusion!

Fortunately, both magic stones and supplies can be exchanged with the Bounty Tower!

"I don't want the gold coins. Just prepare 500 gold coins worth of food and 2500 gold coins worth of low-grade magic stones. Once you have those, I will hand the person over to you."

"No problem, whatever you say!"

The old man from the bounty post readily agreed.

He readily agreed verbally, but his actions remained unmoved.

Instead, he glanced at the monk beside him and nodded subtly.

The mage quietly took a step back, hiding behind Ryan, and was brewing something...

Within Chaos City, the Bounty Tower is the most trustworthy organization, never causing any trouble...

but…

That was inside Chaos City. Because the Lord of the Bounty Tower was keeping things in check, the people inside the Bounty Tower dared not cause trouble.

Outside Chaos City, there was no Bounty Tower Master keeping them in check...

You can do whatever you want!

Ryan considers himself very lucky.

Because he obtained news of Princess Bucklin from an ant at the first level of the first rank outside the bounty tower!

Princess Brooklin, worth 3000 gold coins!

This is a huge sum of money that will allow him to live a life of comfort and ease for the rest of his days!

Meanwhile, Ryan felt that he was favored by that bitch Lady Luck because this Tier 1 Level 1 ant was also worth 1000 gold coins!

I earned 4000 gold coins just by going out!

Ryan believed he was the chosen one, and he decided he would properly thank the little guy who brought him here later…

Ways to express gratitude…

"Let's change it to a death without pain for him..."

As a second-tier boxer, Ryan had great confidence in his own abilities.

He was only about 10 meters away from An Kai.

This distance is precisely the optimal combat distance for Ryan, a melee class!

Although he's old, Ryan's fists are still strong.

He smiled as he looked at An Kai's face, pondering whether to punch An Kai through the stomach or dislocate An Kai's limbs, leaving him alive to exchange for the reward.

To be honest, Ryan was torn between life and death...

Across from Ryan, Ankai watched as Ryan remained unmoved after making his promise.

Instead, he looked himself up and down and sneered.

He knew that if he wanted a reward, he would have to take action himself…

"Is the Bounty Tower only trustworthy within Chaos City?" Ankai muttered to himself, seemingly unaware of Ryan's thoughts.

And it seemed that they hadn't seen the first-tier, ninth-level mage, who was preparing to chant a spell.

With a simple, honest expression, he asked, puzzled, "Do you know my name?"

"Oh, I know him, An Kai, the little guy with a bounty on his head by Master Donglin."

Ryan made no attempt to hide his feelings and responded to Ankai's words.

Just as he was about to say something, to get An Kai to leave a will or a threat about whether he wanted to live...

Ryan's eyes widened in shock as an enormous fireball suddenly appeared in Ankai's hand, radiating a terrifying aura...

"What's this code?!"

Ryan exclaimed in surprise, immediately realizing what was happening, and was about to interrupt Ankai when…

Ankai was faster than him!

The fireball slammed out!

Ryan only had time to make a hasty dodge, but in doing so, he revealed the first-tier, ninth-level earth mage behind him!

The mage was still holding his staff and whispering incantations when he was instantly engulfed by the fireball thrown by Ankai!

Even after being devoured, the level 9, first-tier earth mage was still completely bewildered…

Why doesn't such a terrifying spell require chanting incantations?

"hateful!"

"You dare target my bounty post!"

Despite his advanced age, Ryan let out a loud, powerful shout.

An Kai scoffed at his questioning.

It seemed as if he was too lazy to respond to Ryan's childishness.

What followed was a barrage of fierce fireballs!

boom!

The roar continued, and Ryan had nowhere to hide!

He raised his hands and shouted, "Iron Fist!"

His hands suddenly changed color, revealing a pair of grayish-brown fists, and he threw a punch at the oncoming fireball!

boom!

The fist pierced through the fireball, which then enveloped Ryan…

"Getting old and stupid? This fireball of mine isn't solid, you think you can just break it?"

An Kai's hands didn't stop moving; he stood still, hurling out one massive fireball after another, each radiating a terrifying aura...

And Ryan…

Already enveloped by fireballs…

After a few screams, there was silence...

I have to say, he's still pretty stubborn!

One minute later, Ryan left behind a storage ring and a gray-white mask...

An Kai hurriedly put it away.

Then he quickly returned to the oasis.

I saw Will standing next to the fireball spell…

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, he instantly conjured a fireball in his hand and hurled it towards Will…

If this hits hard, Will and Sally could very well die...

"You bastard, how dare you play me?!"

"They've hired a bounty hunter to double-cross them?!"

"Take this fireball!"
