A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

After all, look, he gets injured even when fighting a single Aragami... and he always goes toe-to-toe with Grito.

Against a stronger Silver-tier opponent, they might get completely thrashed.

Life is quite difficult.

"..." Yun Ji's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

"You, who once defeated several high-level adventurers who were chasing after my sister, are now telling me you're not strong." Yun Ji didn't ask that question out of the blue; she must have known a bit about Bray's strength to ask it.

However, Yunji couldn't stand Bulei's pretentious behavior.

"Ah, that." Bray tried hard to recall the distant memory. Back then, he did defeat a few guys in order to make Naruko run away.

"I've heard you also have the title 'Demon Hunter'," Yun Ji continued.

“No, I don’t admit it.” Bray immediately denied it. Damn it, he wasn’t a “Demon Hunter”.

"You are."

"I'm not."

"You really are!!!"

"I really didn't! I didn't!"

Yun Ji and Bu Lei started arguing for no apparent reason, while Naruko took the opportunity to hug Levy and watch obediently.

She can't afford to offend either of them, so she'll just obediently be a bystander and watch the drama unfold.

"Hoo." Yun Ji took a deep breath.

"I've heard of your formidable strength, so I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to assist our Yundu Kingdom," Yun Ji said helplessly.

Such a simple sentence was dragged out by Bray for so long.

"No, I'm going to kill the rabbit," Bray said cruelly.

"Do you have some kind of grudge against the rabbit?"

"No, it's just a request." Bray believed he had absolutely no grudge against the rabbit; his persistence was merely due to the request.

"Hey, you're still thinking about that request?" Naruko exclaimed in surprise. Bray really was persistent.

"Of course, that's a commission."

"Mr. Bray's serious attitude towards the commission is admirable."

"But I think we'd offer more in compensation than we'd have to kill the rabbits."

“Exactly!” Naruko chimed in.

“Shut up…” Bray said.

"Ugh, domineering." Naruko shut her mouth in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, anyway, if you change your mind, come find me here."

“Our operation is still being organized and hasn’t started yet. We hope you can reply as soon as possible.” Yun Ji pulled out a card from her sleeve, on which was written her current address.

"Do you change your business card every time you go to a new place?" Bray asked after taking the business card.

Because Yunji's address is always different every time she goes to a new place.

That means the position on the business card is different each time.

In other words, Yunji always prepares new business cards in advance.

That's terrifying, Bray really thinks it's terrifying.

Don't you find it troublesome?

"Is this the place you care about..." Although what Bray said was true, Yun Ji always felt a little confused by his focus.

“Talk about money, money can seduce him,” Naruko whispered in Yun Ji’s ear.

Yun Ji heard this and nodded slightly.

"Although you are a temporary employee, I can still provide you with sufficient compensation."

"..." Bray remained motionless.

Because the specific amount of money was not mentioned.

"Be more specific, be more specific," Naruko quickly added, "No one can handle Bray."

"20," Yun Ji said without batting an eye.

"What!!!!!" The exclamation came from Naruko, who was next to Yun Ji.

"Big sister, why did you shout first? You're too noisy." Yun Ji covered her ears in disgust.

Bray didn't shout, but Naruko shouted first.

"20! What a spendthrift!"

"Sister, you have the least right to talk to me like that," Yun Ji said irritably.

"Ahhh, Yun Ji!!!" Naruko hugged Yun Ji, hoping to get some of her good fortune.

"I'll think about it." Bray looked at the business card and pondered for a moment.

However, this consideration is essentially not going to be adopted.

No matter how you look at it, this is a request that's very likely to cause trouble.

---

Two days later, in a house in Biannan, Bulei sat down in front of Yunji.

Yun Ji knelt on the cushion, as did Bray. Behind them, Naruko and Levy sat casually, while Yun Ji and Bray were the only ones who looked serious.

The group sat in a private room, which was open on both sides, allowing them to see the potted plants outside.

When the wind blows in, it will shake the silver bells and make a pleasant sound.

However, if the wind is too strong, these bells won't ring.

"Don't your feet go numb?" Bray asked.

"You'll get used to it," Yun Ji replied calmly.

"Have you thought it through?" With that, Yun Ji pushed a letter of authorization in front of Bu Lei.

"I've made up my mind," Bray said helplessly.

Yes, he accepted Yun Ji's request.

The reason is simple: the quest to defeat Miqiu Rabbit was cancelled!

It's been cancelled!

When Bray found the client, the client told him that Miqiu Rabbit's berserk state had suddenly disappeared and it had become docile.

Of course, there are still many of them, but since they are not aggressive, there is no need to rush to attack them for the time being.

In other words, Bray's trip this time was basically a waste of time.

He was unaware that the berserk state of these Miball Rabbits was originally due to the influence of that Aragami.

Apart from the Miqiu Rabbit, all the other monsters in Biannan have gone berserk to some extent.

However, there are too many Miqiu Rabbits, and once they go berserk, the impact is too severe and they are more easily noticed.

Now that the Aragami has been killed by Bray, the monsters have naturally returned to normal.

Bray also lost this commission, and this was the only commission he could choose.

After thinking it over carefully, Bray accepted the commission, thinking that maybe he could find that guy Marek.

When the time comes, we'll be able to do a proper accounting, and then we'll accept the commission.

Although it's troublesome, it's something that needs to be faced when necessary.

Besides, there's another 20.

"In that case, I'd like to thank you, Mr. Bray, first of all." Yun Ji thought for a moment, and finally extended her hand.

In mainland China, people are more accustomed to shaking hands.

"Here you go." However, Bray's first reaction was not that Yun Ji intended to shake hands with him.

Bray passed the commission back to Yun Ji.

"???" Many question marks appeared above Yun Ji's head.

Yunji has encountered many things, but rarely has she encountered so many questions.

"Hey, weren't you going to take it back?"

"Do you want a teacup?" Bray pushed the teacup towards Yunji.

"?????????" Yun Ji had even more questions above her head. Why would she think of giving her a teacup?

Finally, Yunji decided to withdraw her hand; they wouldn't hold hands anymore.

"Then, let me explain the plan to you in detail," Yun Ji cleared her throat.

"But before that, let me ask you, what level of enemy do you conservatively estimate you can handle?"

"Emmmmmmmmmmmm" Bray hesitated; he needed to think this through carefully.

Bray isn't an idiot. If he said he could take down a dozen S-rank adventurers, Yun Ji would probably think he was incredibly arrogant.

Well, although Bray does believe he can take on a whole bunch of them.

“A few… S-rank adventurers, I guess.” Bray counted on his fingers, giving a significantly reduced number.

"several?"

"Emmmmmmmm" is asking too many details, which puts Bray in a bit of a bind.

“Five?” Bray said uncertainly.

"Why the uncertain tone...? Please tell me the minimum number you can guarantee processing."

"Five then," Bray said dejectedly, as if he had given up on something.

"Five? Are you sure?" Yunji believed that Bre was strong, but this number was a bit magical.

There are five of them!

“Hmm, just five,” Bray said hesitantly.

Sigh, only five. Yun Ji's plan this time is actually not complicated.

Given that Yun Du Kingdom had already invited many S-rank adventurers to subdue the Shuri, but all attempts had failed, Yun Ji changed her strategy this time.

The saying goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king," which is why they were so determined to defeat the Demon King of the Mathematical Principles.

However, in the end, it only resulted in the death of an S-class adventurer. Even the most idiotic person should realize that the Demon King's strength is unfathomable.

Therefore, Yun Ji's idea was to capture, not to subdue.

Fighting is not always the best option.

This time, besides Bray, the people hired were mostly support roles.

Well, calling it an auxiliary type isn't quite accurate; it's more like a restrictive type.

Weaken the enemy to the greatest extent possible; even if you can't kill them, you can capture them.

Sometimes, capturing someone is more difficult than killing them, but sometimes killing someone is more difficult than capturing them.

As things stand, it's still easier to capture the Demon King of Mathematical Reasoning.

Coincidentally, what Bray admires most is a simple, effective, and well-organized plan.

The sun was shining brightly, but in one particular alleyway, the sunlight couldn't penetrate.

In stark contrast to the warmth of the streets, the alleyways were cold and damp.

At this moment, Bray was leaning against the wall with the others who had also accepted Yun Ji's commission, waiting for orders.

The young man waiting for orders with Bray was wearing light armor.

Although he looks very young, he is already a well-known S-class adventurer.
