People are looking for the legendary me

"Knock knock knock..." Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Dawn suddenly became energetic.

Could it be that Qianqian came back to see me?

Li Ming walked briskly to open the door, but soon he was no longer brisk because his perception soon told him that the person outside was not Qianqian, and there was more than one person.

There's a familiar aura outside. Is it... the bodyguard of Qianqian's friend?

Li Ming opened the door and saw a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a calm but majestic expression.

Judging from his aura, eyes and body shape, it was definitely the masked bodyguard that followed Qianqian's friend.

Outside the door, following Verna Vincent was instructor Nasus. He nodded to Liming in a friendly manner as a greeting.

When Verna Vincent saw Liming open the door and come out, he looked like a senior official meeting his subordinate.

Humph, no matter how you slapped me in the face the day before yesterday, now that you don't recognize me but I do, I can still act silly, can you? Damn it, you little bastard.

"Excuse me?" Liming stood behind the door, with no intention of making way for these people to enter his and Qianqian's sweet little home.

"You are the subordinate of the Believer of Light, right?"

Although Verna Vincent wanted to regain the face she lost in front of her daughter from Liming, she was too pretentious. After all, he was not the kind of person who would embarrass others for no reason.

"Well... sort of. What can I do for you?"

"I'm Verna Vincent. I have something to talk to you about. Come with me."

Verna Vincent said this, then she turned her back with her hands behind her back and walked towards the elevator that could leave the building. Then, he heard the door being slammed shut by Dawn.

"Hmm? Hello! Where are the people?"

Inside the door, Liming prepared to go back to pack up and then go find the lovely little girl Naer.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The sound of violent knocks on the door

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you close the door all of a sudden? You should follow me."

Hearing the frustrated and irritable voice, Liming opened the door with disdain and looked at the man with indifference.

"What? I have something else to do, don't waste my time!"

Verna Vincent looked at Dawn's dislike for him and suddenly felt constipated, as if the tall appearance of an S-class hero he had just pretended to be was mistaken for a clown.

This time, Verna Vincent directly showed her S-class hero medal and took out a piece of document. This time, she did it without any hesitation.

"I, the S-class hero, Willna Vincent, will go to Hopeless City to carry out a mission. The headquarters hopes that you will go with me as a subordinate of the Light Believer. Having the subordinates of the Goddess of Light follow you will be of great benefit to suppressing the unrest in Hopeless City. The mission you are given is rewarding, and there will be corresponding subsidies for any problems. This is an emergency mission, and as someone from the lineage of the Goddess of Light, you will not refuse, right? Of course, this is a mandatory mission and cannot be refused."

75. A newbie

"Huh? What? Mandatory mission?" Liming couldn't help but frowned when he heard the word "mandatory".

Verna Vincent nodded without question, not paying attention to Liming's unwilling look. He wanted to show off in front of this person, so he said calmly:

"We can't find the believer of light. Beings like him have their own actions, and we have no right to interfere with their actions. But we need a subordinate of Her Highness the Goddess of Light who may have gone to Hopeless City to suppress some people in Hopeless City. So we need you, who has a little bit of relationship with Her Highness the Goddess of Light, to come forward. You should be happy that you can get along with Her Highness the Goddess."

As she spoke, Verna Vincent took out another document and asked Li Ming to take it, and continued:

"This is a mission certificate. You can use this certificate to go to the Hero Association to collect your mission reward. The association will also record your achievement. If you encounter any problems in the future, the association will be more proactive in helping you to a certain extent."

Verna Vincent probably understood Dawn's frown of reluctance, and knew that Dawn was still unwilling and did not seem to be prepared to accept it. She couldn't help but feel a little disdain for Dawn in her heart and said lightly.

"Not to mention that this is a mandatory mission, even if it wasn't, our Hero Association works hard for the stability of this world. We have gone through hardships and dangers, and helped people escape from villains countless times. The peace you have now is all earned by us heroes who risked our lives."

"Now, we need you. Shouldn't you accept this mission without hesitation? You actually showed such an expression. Is this how you are?"

Verna Vincent had an indifferent expression, but her words were firm, and her tone left no room for doubt.

"Huh? Are you sure that most people become heroes not for status, fame and fortune? Is there something wrong with my character?" Liming looked at this guy who pretended to be noble and couldn't help but laugh.

When it comes to maintaining world stability, who needs to obey orders, and how people should behave, these are simply a joke in front of him.

Not to mention anything else, just think about who protected this world, doesn't this person have any idea?

"There are indeed such people, but we also have people who aspire to become true heroes who carry people's hopes and futures. We have people who are selflessly contributing! And now, it's your turn to do your part for the stability of this world!"

“Hahaha…” Liming couldn’t help laughing, shaking his head and sighing helplessly, “Don’t tease me, I’m not young anymore, I’m not a student, I won’t rush forward when I hear about saving the world, it’s useless for you to say this to me.”

Dawn was not mocking, but smiling genuinely. Verna Vincent's face gradually became ugly in Dawn's laughter.

Nasus was also very anxious, but he didn't know how to interrupt. After all, persuading Liming to accept the mission might be harmful to him. Now everyone knows that something is wrong in Hopeless City, and going there would be like jumping into a fire pit. But if he spoke for Liming, Verna Vincent could make him pay with just one word. Besides, what this S-class hero said was quite right, and he didn't know how to refute it.

If you say something bad, it may not help, but make you look more like a villain.

"Let me tell you what this world is."

Liming also stopped laughing. He looked at the dark-faced Wilna Vincent and said, "Now, how many heroes hide when they hear something is wrong? You should have some idea, right? Yes, you didn't hide, which is pretty good. But you have to understand, the residents, the lower-class civilians, have they really been protected by you? You should know what the situation was in the area where I used to live, right?"

"So many people are suffering in dire straits. They have to face the cruelty of this world since they were born. Living cautiously has made them extremely tired. They have never been protected at all. Order is hope for them, but who gave it to them? They earned money to pay protection fees, and they fought for their family's safety to protect their home, not you!"

"We have never received anything from you people. We are not the beneficiaries of any favors. We have suffered so much injustice but persisted in our struggle to survive. However, you used a few words to negate all their efforts and attributed everything to yourself. You also demanded that unfortunate people like us go to that battlefield as cannon fodder. Don't you think you are forcing people to rebel? Don't you think you are stupid?"

As Liming spoke, his face turned cold and he was extremely disappointed with this guy.

He's already an S-class hero, but he didn't even think this through and just went ahead as if it was his right and his duty. He's been a goddess for so many years, but what disappoints her the most is this kind of superficial hero.

When Verna Vincent heard what Liming said, she quickly understood what was going on and knew her own problem. Her dark face gradually turned into an awkward one, but she was still trying hard to make herself look more imposing.

Li Ming glanced at the man and saw that he seemed to have figured it out. However, he still shook his head in disappointment and pointed at the mission execution document in Verna Vincent's hand.

"Also, what's the point of bringing this thing? If I die on the battlefield, are you going to let me crawl out of the ground to get the money? What's the point of getting it? What if it gets torn or something? You're a hero doing things, so don't be rude when you come up and talk! Think about how to seduce first, and arrange everything. If it doesn't work, then say something serious, instead of showing off your biggest stinky face. How can you do something like this?"

Willna Vincent felt unhappy when listening to Liming's critical words, but it was true and he had no way to refute it. His momentum weakened and he became timid.

"Also, I didn't make the rules before... I have heard the goddess clearly stipulate that forcing an innocent person to die for any purpose is forbidden. Whether your crappy mission is mandatory or not, it is invalid!"

"And he's an S-class hero." Liming glanced at the guy outside the door with some disdain. After throwing down the last sentence, he closed the door with a "bang", leaving Verna Vincent, who had lost all her momentum, looking at the door and thinking about life.

After a long time.

"Fuck!" Verna Vincent yelled out in dissatisfaction, feeling aggrieved as she looked at the closed door.

He had come here to show off his power, and it was true that he handled things in a hurry and without considering things carefully. But when he saw Leon Lai's handsome face and thought that his daughter might get hurt, he wanted to give Leon Lai a good beating. Unexpectedly, he was the one who got scolded instead.

"I'm a fucking S-class hero!" Verna Vincent shouted angrily, her heart almost constipated and she wanted to get back at Liming.

Nasus behind him said hurriedly: "Image, image, pay attention to your image."

Verna Vincent hated it very much, but she could only hold it in and felt uncomfortable.

"You've made me look so arrogant, you bastard! Just wait for me, I'm going to go through some formalities, and I'll make you my subordinate!"

Verna Vincent was furious. He knew that he could not force others to die at any time, but he had never intended to do so. He just wanted to spread a rumor, and there was no need to risk his life. For such a compulsory mission, as long as the reward was enough, the Hero Association would definitely approve it.

Even if he is not paid for the task, he can still get things done by using his connections.

Bastard, just wait for me!

Verna Vincent thought about it and was about to leave angrily, and then the door was opened.

Liming packed up and came out. He looked at Verna Vincent who turned around with some disgust, closed the door and left.

"Follow me and don't talk nonsense! You are amazing for making an S-class hero look like a novice."

It brings trouble to novices.

Liming sighed secretly, without even looking at the man, and walked towards the elevator.

Originally Liming was planning to go alone, but this man was Qianqian's friend's father after all, and he couldn't bear to see him being so stupid, so he decided to take him along.

Moreover, with this person around, some things become easier to do.

At dawn, veins popped out on someone's forehead and he clenched his fists.

I'm a fucking S-class hero... I actually...

"Image! Pay attention to your image, sir!" Nasus stood in front of Verna Vincent. As an instructor who had always been rude, he could only use his poor speech to try to smooth things over.

At this time, the sound of dawn came again from not far away.

"Hey, remember to tell your daughter to tell Qianqian of my family that I have to leave for a few days for something. With you as a bodyguard, it will be safe. Tell Qianqian not to worry."

"What? I'm a bodyguard?!?"

"Calm down, be calm, and pay attention to your image."

"..."

Walking in front, Liming thought of the cute pink-haired girl again. He wanted to go find her right away so that he could strike while the iron was hot. Unfortunately, it would take a few days.

The fact that Verna Vincent would think of creating a way to expose the existence of someone related to the Goddess of Light proves that things over there in Hopelessness are getting worse and worse and have reached a point where they must be curbed, so it's time for Dawn to leave.

Furthermore, she actually did spread the rumor, and then deliberately leaked the news to let those who were hiding know that it was just a rumor and that she, the Goddess of Light, was not there.

I wonder if this will encourage those who have been hiding to come out and show off?

If that were the case, it would be easy to catch him.

……

"Eh? Isn't that my uncle? Why is he here? Who is that person? Why is he walking in front of my uncle when he is dressed so casually?"

Under the cool shade of the trees, a lovely and noble young lady, about thirteen or fourteen years old, saw Verna Vincent leaving the academy with Liming.

Opposite the girl was Isnar Ouya, who wanted to enter Qingyu Academy and replace Liming's mentor.

She saw the dawn and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"They are not people you need to know, so don't worry about them. We just received news that we must be prepared to become the maid of that master."

"Ah."

76. The King's Apostle

At night, like a trapped beast, it lies dormant in an iron cage quietly. When its prey appears, it will tear off its camouflage, break out of the cage, and turn the deceived one into leftovers.

It was in such a dark night with an undercurrent that a loud explosion resounded throughout the northern part of Hopeless City. Flames shot up into the sky, and billowing black smoke filled the sky under the gaze of the dim moonlight.

The tranquility that concealed the vortex was broken, noises rose and fell, warning lights were shining everywhere, and countless black shadows floated in the night but did not leave, like greedy beasts looking for food for tonight.

In a building, a dishevelled figure was fleeing in panic. His body was unstable, his steps were disorderly, and fatigue and fear were inharmoniously intertwined in his breathing.

However, even though he was seriously injured and fled in a panic, all traces of blood, sweat, footprints, etc. that he left behind disappeared without a trace after he left.

"Ahahaha, Hengqi, you can't escape, and you don't have to expect anyone to save you. You've been with us for so long, shouldn't you know the fate of traitors and spies?"

Behind him, unbridled laughter spread throughout the entire building. There was no trace to follow, but the pursuer followed him accurately and even leisurely, not afraid of the traitor escaping at all.

On the other side of the building, there was a woman with a hot body, revealing clothes and an extremely arrogant smile. She was holding a steel water pipe that she had pulled out casually, and was walking into the building step by step.

She is the runaway girl who claims to be able to fight off five S-class heroes at the same time and escape unscathed, among the three criminals that Verna Vincent finds particularly difficult to deal with.

Near the building, there was a building that was completely engulfed in flames from the explosion, as if the sun was bringing down the day.

The Hero Association's warning sounds howled rapidly and loudly in the distance, as if they were eager to scare off the villain who was committing further crimes in order to save the life that was being hunted.

However, no one paid any attention.

The heroes in this area have also been intercepted by the black shadows in the darkness. Now, except for the criminals, no one can get close to the building.

A turnaround can only occur with the support of time.

Suddenly, the north side of the middle floor of the building exploded outwards, and broken glass mixed with steel bars and concrete fell downwards, with smoke and dust rising.

"Hengqi, where are you? What should I do if I can't find you?"

The unbridled voice was still ringing, and the fleeing man was being approached step by step. Finally, he was forced to the edge of the roof of the building. He stood at a height of dozens or nearly a hundred meters, looking at the ground hanging straight down, and finally he backed down.

"Hengqi~"

A loud sound was heard, and the sound waves echoed when they touched the fleeing man, eventually reaching the ears of the pursuer.

So the man walked up the stairs and cut off the man's escape route.

The moonlight and the slanting firelight illuminated the roof of the building.

Appearing behind the fleeing man was a handsome man wearing a noble black robe, with a calm expression and elegant manners.

In his eyes, there was a black power surging, a power that did not originally belong to him.

Rudy Guan'anshi, an S-class fugitive criminal, is said to be one of the four apostles of the king and possesses the dark favor bestowed by the king.

"Hengqi, I had high expectations for you. Your performance was already enough to win the king's praise and the king's favor that countless people dream of. But you disappointed me."
