Chapter 8 008: Bad Luck

"Instant casting?!"

"This is a Tier 1, Level 1?!"

"Boss... that fireball is huge..."

"Boss, should we go in or...?"

After Ankai revealed his strength, Reid and the other three immediately backed down.

In their experience, they had never seen anyone cast a spell instantly, let alone cast two spells at once!

In addition, the fireball was more than twice the size of any they had ever seen!

This further instilled fear in them of Ankai's strength.

In an instant, the idea of ​​running away popped into their minds.

They wanted to run away, but An Kai was unwilling!

He hurled fireballs, one at Reed and the other at the warrior behind him.

After the fireball was thrown, two more fireballs instantly appeared in his hand, which he then hurled at the two warriors on his left and right…

"Vine Armor!" Reed shouted as he saw the fireball coming.

Vines appeared on the surface of the body...

However, his resistance had little effect!

The fireball struck him, instantly shattering the vines!

The shock caused him to fall to the ground!

Before Reed could catch his breath, another fireball hurtled towards him!

boom!

...

The other three warriors suffered the same fate. They racked their brains and used all their strength to block the first fireball, but before they could catch their breath, another fireball came crashing down...

Reed utterly hated the merchant who sold him the detector; the unscrupulous merchant had ripped him off!

Instant-cast spells, coupled with unfathomable mana reserves, and the ability to unleash so many fireballs without batting an eye—this guy is definitely not a first-tier, first-level cultivator!

Five minutes later…

Reed and his three soldiers were stripped naked, their bodies blackened, and a faint smell of roasted meat wafted from them…

Ankai ate the roasted meat Reed had used for fishing, his expression gentle, as if he were meeting an old friend, and slowly said, "Tell me, if you lie to me, I'll feed you thorn worms."

Reed survived because, on his deathbed, he claimed to have a Chaos City Bounty Hall membership card.

There's still a credit limit left, which you can use to buy things.

When Ankai asked how many low-grade magic stones he could buy, Reed replied that he could buy about 30.

Ankai then decided to let Reed off the hook.

At least for now, they won't kill him.

Ankai knew a little about Bounty Tower from Hanks, since Hanks' favorite thing to do was to boast about having Bounty Tower members.

The membership card can only be used by the cardholder, a fact that Hanks told Ankai.

Otherwise, Ankai wouldn't believe it based on Reed's words alone.

...

Twenty minutes later.

Ankai made a decision.

They decided to go with Reed to the only city in the desert, Chaos City.

Previously, he had only heard of the name but had never actually been there.

It was also related to his lack of money.

According to that old man Hanks, Chaos City is the true holy land in the desert.

There, as long as you have gold coins, you can buy anything!

Including the throne of the duchy's king!

Similarly, in Chaos City, the Bounty Tower is the most famous.

There, if you have enough money, you can even cut off the head of a king.

The reason why Reed and his three warrior guards were able to improve so rapidly in a year was because they happened to meet a down-on-his-luck nobleman.

Coincidentally, this nobleman had a bounty placed on his head in the bounty tower.

The poor, down-on-his-luck nobleman thought he had met a great benefactor, but he was sold to the bounty tower by Reed and his three companions.

The resources they acquired enabled the four of them to successfully transition into professionals.

The four of them each had a membership card, and together they could exchange for about 30 low-grade magic stones.

If Reed hadn't spoken quickly, Ankai would have already snapped the necks of the other three warriors...

With his hands bound, Reed and his three companions walked in front, while Ankai, like a shepherd, brought up the rear...

He was fiddling with the detector in his hand.

With a thought, a warrior's rank appeared: First Rank, Second Level.

The three warriors all displayed Tier 1, Level 2, and then shone their light on Reed.

"First tier, third level? Is it that weak?"

Reed heard Ankai's mutterings, gave an awkward smile, and did not respond.

He thought to himself, "Am I weak? You're fucking freakish! What kind of first-tier, first-level mage can cast instant spells, let alone have such incredible endurance?!"

……

……

"Hanks, you old codger, if you don't go out and make money, how are you going to support your mother in her old age?"

"Hehehe, what do you know? I suddenly had a feeling today that a distinguished guest is about to arrive!"

In Chaos City, standing at the city gate, behind a stall, Widow Wang's eyes flashed, and then with a "smack," she slapped Hanks on the back of the head where his hair was thinning...

"You son of a bitch, I've heard you say that for a month now!"

"If I'd known, I'd rather die in this small town than come here suffering with you!"

Startled by the blow, Hanks quickly stood up and covered Widow Wang's mouth with his hand...

"Keep your voice down...keep your voice down...we're all watching..."

"Hmph!" Widow Wang glared, but stopped cursing.

"Hanks, if you don't get the gold coins back today, you're not going to bed!"

Leaving behind a single sentence, Widow Wang swayed into Chaos City, leaving Hanks standing there with a look of adoration on his face…

After leaving the small town with Widow Wang, he settled in Chaos City.

Hanks continued with his old business: buying low and selling high.

Unfortunately, the numerous trading venues in Chaos City greatly impacted his business.

Hanks could only wait at the city gate every day, hoping to trick first-time visitors into buying or selling them items...

Although business wasn't as good as in the nameless town, Hanks lived a very comfortable life.

The widow's companionship rekindled his lonely heart...

Over the past year, Hanks believes the best decision he ever made was kidnapping Widow Wang when he fled the town.

Of course, whenever there are no buyers, Hanks often thinks of that rascal.

Despite his young age, he was able to provide him with substantial profits. Of course, An Kai was also a ruthless man.

If it weren't for my own strength, I might have been stripped naked and had my neck broken by that guy long ago.

He had seen An Kai give him a fierce look many times…

"I wonder how the town is doing? Knowing that guy's personality, he must have run away by now, right?" Hanks basked in the sun, reminiscing about the past...

"My lord, Chaos City is just ahead. Could you... perhaps give us a break...?"

"Oh? You want to die? I can grant your wish!"

Suddenly, Hanks seemed to mishear.

He stood up abruptly and looked into the distance.

Behind the four men, all as dark as charcoal, stood a handsome young man, wielding an iron sword…

He made a move as if to chop the four sallow-faced men in front of him to death...

Hanks rubbed his eyes. He never expected that just muttering it once would actually lead to him seeing that kid...

Professional instincts kicked in, and Hanks instantly scanned the group. From the four naked, dark-skinned figures, Hanks was certain that whether or not he could get into Widow Wang's bed depended on Ankai!

"Hey! Young Master Mage! Long time no see!"

Hearing the shout, An Kai stared intently, a smile spreading across his face, but muttered under his breath, "Bad luck!"
