Ark, I got cold a little early

"You guy, I finally got to be handsome for once, what the hell are you doing?"

"It's okay. They thought you were dead anyway, so you managed to be cool."

In the welfare home that he visited every now and then, Hongyu still did not follow Old W's idea of letting him die, but chose to save him and settle him here.

"Tsk...you kid...orphanage? Are you looking for a job as a janitor for me?"

"I'm at ease with you guarding this."

"cut……"

Old W spat at Hongyu, and then, as if he had thought of something, he handed the grenade launcher he was carrying to Hongyu.

"This is……"

"I don't need it anyway, so I'll give it to you."

……

"Hehe, Old W, the safety of this place is now in your hands."

"Get lost! Don't disturb a retired mercenary from enjoying his life!"

"Good good."

"……roll!"

"Hey, stop scolding."

"By the way, Yu."

"what?"

"Never mind, it's nothing... Tell me... Will this damn place, Kazdel, really become better like you said?"

"……Will do."

Hongyu laughed and said, "I think so. If Kazdel becomes better, will you go meet Hedley and the others?"

"And then they beat you up?"

"if not?"

"Tsk, you kid."

Old W has to go offline, otherwise what should I call him when W comes later?

Although I always feel that this approach seems to have some problems, but I can't think of any other solution. Let Old W die? Hongyu's character design does not allow it...

So I can only think of this method to get him offline.

Chapter 98 She should be called W now.

Old W didn't have a funeral or anything, but for a mercenary, it doesn't matter.

Moreover, Hongyu also knew that he was not dead yet, he just chose to let it go.

Perhaps he finally didn't want to continue working hard in Kazdel, a place with no future in sight? Or perhaps there was another reason, Hongyu didn't know.

But in the end he still didn't tell Hedley that Old W was still alive. Hedley probably wouldn't be angry, but Old W didn't want to let Hedley know because of guilt or something.

……

……

……

There is bad news today for all Sarkaz and all races still living in Kazdel.

But for Hongyu, the news was even worse.

His previous premonition came true. The information he had gathered from many places combined to form a major event. Not long after things got better, Kazdel was about to fall into civil war due to the dispute between the Demon King's brothers and sisters.

But for other mercenaries, this news brought both risks and opportunities.

Mercenaries, as the name suggests, are a type of soldier active on the battlefield. They take on all kinds of dangerous tasks, killing people, robbing goods, and the more dangerous the place, the more active they are.

"Yu, look! There are so many escort missions we can take on recently!"

Will spoke to Hongyu with a smile and the smell of alcohol that always surrounded him.

But Hongyu just frowned, nodded, and didn't answer anything.

How could Theresia and Theresis...

So the reason for their civil war wasn't because of differences in ideas?

……

……

……

That day, Hedley took on a mission.

To eliminate a group of thieves who have destroyed many of the remaining small villages in Kazdel.

Because of the news of the civil war, Hongyu was in a trance for the whole day.

Even during the mercenary mission, he almost didn't notice that the howitzer given to him by Old W, which was placed at his feet, was secretly taken away by a girl.

Fortunately, he finally found the thief who looked somewhat familiar. Although she ran very fast, Hongyu was even faster.

He grabbed the girl's arm, and when the girl turned around and swung the dagger in her hand, trying to stab his arm, Hongyu silently said "Gu".

Immediately, the girl's body was tied up by several inexplicably appearing iron chains, unable to move.

"Eh?"

Perhaps the effect of the Originium technique that Hongyu displayed was a bit too fast, and the girl made a puzzled sound.

After trying to struggle a few times and realizing that there was no sign of her being able to break free from the chains, the girl looked indifferently at Hongyu who was looking at her.

It seems like he is not worried about being in danger.

Or maybe... he had speculated and mentally prepared for what would happen to him if he was caught?

She must have thought she was going to be killed, right? Or sold to some shady place?

His eyes look like he's dead...

Looking carefully at the girl in front of him, and after seeing the two tufts of red hair on her head that looked like cockroach antennae, Hongyu seemed to have discovered something.

Isn’t this W?

Although she is definitely not called W now, after all, old W is still very active in their team.

"Hello? Are you still alive? I should have held back, right?"

Squatting down and poking the girl's face, Hongyu asked hypocritically.

As Hongyu's fingers got closer, the girl opened her mouth, and then...

"Crack!"

Hongyu quickly retracted his fingers and laughed out loud at the girl's hideous face because she didn't bite anything and felt the pain from the collision between her teeth.

Picking up the grenade launcher on the ground, Hongyu asked with a smile: "Other children would take the opportunity to steal some of the food I brought with me, or something else, but... this is the first time I've seen someone steal something like this."

"..."

There was no reply and the girl remained silent.

"You think it's useless to just steal food, right? You think you should first gain the ability to protect yourself so you can do more, right?"

Guessing the girl's various behaviors, Hongyu pinched his chin and analyzed.

"But... I think, even if you can steal this thing from me, it's unlikely you can live on your own. Will you use it?"

Hongyu said jokingly, shaking off the thing that Old W was trying to force on him.

Then he casually threw the grenade launcher in his hand to the girl and untied the chains that secured her.

The girl picked up the grenade launcher thrown by Hongyu with some doubt and solemnity, and looked at Hongyu with a frown.

Shrugging, Hongyu pointed his palm towards the ruins on the side.

"Let me think, the last time I used such a simple skill was... during the Great Flame, right? I remember 'Sui' was still alive at that time."

A ball of red and black energy took shape in Hongyu's palm.

"They're the ones who destroyed the place where you lived, right?"

"Then I don't really want to show mercy now. After all, today..."

"Bad Mood."

With a frown, as Hongyu quickly threw out the ball of energy, all the ruins in front of him seemed to be gathered together, and the space was distorted for a moment before an explosion occurred.

The mountain behind it was also penetrated and destroyed.

"What about you? What do you think you can do?"

With a dull look in her eyes, the girl spoke.

"Teach me."

"?"

It’s broken, what should I do if I encounter such a thing?

I can't teach this...

……

……

……

"Yu, is everything okay over there? I heard a loud explosion."

As soon as Hongyu came back, Ines ran up and asked with concern.

"Nothing, just... bringing back a 'new member'?"

He pulled out the girl who had been standing behind him. She was still holding the grenade launcher that Old W had left for Hongyu, which he had no use for at all.

"she is……?"

Inès was obviously interested in the girl next to Hongyu. She had just used her Originium skills to see the shadow of this girl.

Let’s put it this way…it’s blank, but not as blank as Hongyu’s.

Because of Hongyu as a comparison, Ines's reaction to the girl was not as big as when she first met Hongyu.

"She doesn't have a code name or anything, but she's still holding Old W's stuff. Even though she found it, to the mercenaries, she should be called W now."

-

“Sister Theresa, do we really have to take this thing to Mr. Theresa?”

Holding a kite in her hand, Amiya asked in confusion.

"I've told you several times, little Amiya, you should call Tracys uncle... Otherwise, the generation relationship between him and me will be messed up, right?"

"It's as if if you let Amiya call me uncle and then call you sister, the generation relationship between us will be resolved."

"Eh? Brother, when did you come?"

"Just now, and please, next time you come to see me, don't bring a kite with you, okay?"

"Eh?! Well, then... whether it takes shape or not, the meaning is not..."

"Don't even say that!"
