Just at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded at the door.

"I'm sorry, your fight here has interfered with our normal operations. If possible, can you fight somewhere else?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an orange-haired, cat-eared half-orc girl standing at the door.

"Hey, what is this? A sex waiter?" Mudrick looked at the other person with a greedy look in his eyes.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I'll dig your eyes out." The orc girl said this, looking at Mudrick with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, are all the girls nowadays so fierce?" Before Mudrick could finish his words, a flying knife brushed past her ear and hit the wall behind her.

"I warned you." The orc girl then drew the sword from her waist.

"Now, please leave Oak Street immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for using force to drive you away."

Mudrick looked at the other party's posture, clicked his tongue in boredom, then clapped his hands and turned around.

"Well, you're lucky this time. You were saved by the people here. But you may not be so lucky next time. I've made a note of this. If I run into you on the streets of Saint Laurent again, I'll help you.

Young Master Te, I will get back what I did today sooner or later." He said this, and then walked back.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. So what if you, Litt, are the duke's son?

My strength is now at the seventh level. If there is a ranking of the top 100 masters in the entire empire, there is a high probability that I will be on the list.

Even Orson, the most powerful one in the Duke's family, is only at level six now.

And in Mudrick's opinion, it was indeed Litt who took the initiative to cause trouble today. After all, the ambush set up by the other party here did not seem to be a spur-of-the-moment idea.

Since you want to mess with me, don't blame me for beating you up every time I see you in the future.

After Mudrick walked away, Lit looked at the orange-haired half-orc girl standing at the door and said gratefully: "Um, sister...thank you for your help just now."

"Because you are fighting here and disturbing our business." The orange-haired girl said this and walked in front of Virgil.

"Thank you..." Virgil looked up at the other party coming and replied weakly.

"You smashed this wall, so pay." The orange-haired girl squatted down and stretched out her hand to Virgil.

"Uh..." Virgil was stunned for a moment, then smiled, took out a golden pocket watch from his arms and handed it to the girl.

Just think of it as protection money.

"Sorry, I don't have any money on me. I should be able to get a lot of money if I sell this thing."

"Okay, then don't make trouble again, otherwise the boss will be angry." The girl nodded, took the pocket watch, and then walked into the tavern.

(PS: Sorry for being a little late today)

Chapter 1: Will there be a sense of guilt? (W)

Mudrick went back to the place whence he came, cursing.

Tonight was full of twists and turns. After drinking, I met a little girl on the road. I was happily trying to tease her, but she stepped on my foot and ran away.

He finally caught up with her, but the little girl told him that she was a man, the same Li Te whom he had offended before.

The other party even used the deputy head of the group to provoke him.

He angrily defeated the opponent's sixth-level guard and was about to teach Litt a lesson, but he didn't expect that a seventh-level half-orc girl suddenly appeared from the Youlan Tavern.

Under normal circumstances, Mudrick might not be afraid of the half-orc girl, but at that time Mudrick had just defeated Virgil and had consumed a lot of physical strength. In addition, he was in someone else's territory and did not dare to use all his cards, so he could only admit defeat and go back.

After saying these harsh words, Mudrick walked backwards.

Then he saw that several brothers who had been drinking with him were beaten badly and fell on the street.

Mudrick rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that they were only beaten badly and were not physically disabled or in danger of their lives.

"Damn it, if I had known you guys were so insidious, I should have beaten all of your men just now." Mudrick said this and prepared to go back to the base to ask someone to bring his brothers back.

Then, when he just returned to the base, he found something wrong.

The newcomer standing guard at the door has disappeared at this moment.

He hurried into the house.

At this moment, a mercenary who was about to relieve himself came down from upstairs. When he saw Mudrick, he quickly stopped and saluted Mudrick.

"Hello, boss!"

"Where's the man standing guard at the door?" Mudrick asked bluntly.

"Ah?" The man was stunned for a moment, then he touched his head and walked to the door. "What's the matter, Boss?"

"Shit!" Mudrick said, and couldn't help but reach out and pat the man on the head. "You just woke up, right? Wake up! I want to ask you, where is the new guy who was assigned to stand guard at the door?"

"I'm not going!" The mercenary shook his head. "Then where is he?!"

"Oh, you idiot!" Mudrick said this, and hurried to the second floor, kicking open the rooms where the mercenaries rested one by one.

"You all fell asleep, wake up!" He shouted, waking up the sleeping mercenaries one after another. "Gather downstairs!"

Although the mercenaries were a little annoyed by being woken up, they didn't dare to resist when they thought that the person who woke them up was their boss, who could crush them to death with one hand.

A minute later, Mudrick stood in the lobby on the first floor, looked at his men, carefully counted the number of people, and then asked them: "Who was the last one to come down? There's no one up there, right?"

"I'm the last one to come down. I'm in the innermost room and I'm sure there's no one here." A middle-aged mercenary raised his hand and said.

"Okay." Mudrick nodded. "Our brothers were beaten outside the tavern, you go there and carry them back."

"Also, the new guy standing guard at the door, he's missing, you guys have to find him for me too. I want to interrogate him myself after I find him."

Then, at Mudrick's command, the mercenaries instantly got into shape and began to act.

One group went to the door of the tavern to carry the person back, while another group expanded the search range outward with the base as the center, vowing to capture the newcomer who neglected his duties.

Mudrick came to the third floor and saw that the deputy commander's room opposite was still locked. He frowned and a bad premonition came to his mind.

He remembered what Lit said before.

Could it be that all of my brothers really died in that mission?

That shouldn't be the case. Even if something happened to other brothers, it would be impossible for anything to happen to his most trusted deputy, the deputy leader who has been with him since the establishment of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group. He is an assassin with the strength of the sixth level and he can definitely escape.

He must be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Mudrick walked into his room, but he did not notice that the lock, which had not been used for several days and should have been covered with dust, actually reflected light for a moment.

The doctor had a very good anti-reconnaissance awareness. After searching Mudrick's room, he chose to use the video magic stone to collect evidence, and then carefully restored everything to the time when he first came in.

Mudrick didn't notice anything unusual when he entered the room.

Although he had a bad feeling in his heart, he was relieved after carefully checking that the multiple mechanisms he had set up showed no signs of being triggered.

It seems that the other party just wants to attack me, but he is overestimating his own abilities.

Thinking of this, he lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

After stretching his muscles before going to bed today, Mudrick is now feeling a little tired.

Wait until they come back to report to you before waking up.

Mudrick fell into a deep sleep while thinking this.

In the Imperial City, mercenaries from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group came to the place where the leader had just mentioned that several mercenaries who were drinking together were knocked down. Just as they were about to carry the mercenaries on their backs, a group of people gathered around.

The gang members who had just beaten up their brothers are now coming back.

Moreover, since there was no need to allocate more people to hold back Mudrick, the number of people surrounding him was even greater this time.

……

On the other side, the members of the mercenary group searched the surroundings separately.

Just now, the mercenary group assigned four people to carry the people, and there were only four people responsible for searching for new mercenaries. At the same time, in order to improve efficiency, the four people searched in four directions separately.

One of the mercenaries found the doctor in a suit in an alley.

The doctor also saw him at this time, and he looked at the mercenary with a harmless and hopeful expression.

"Sir! Sir, can you do me a favor?!" The doctor walked towards the mercenary. "I just met a man in the alley. As soon as he saw me, he grabbed my trouser legs and said he was from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group. He told me to pay money to save my life, and then he fainted."

"I was going to call the police, but I was afraid he would run away. I am too small to carry him. Can you come and help me?"

Upon hearing this, the mercenary's ears immediately pricked up, and then he also walked towards the doctor.

"It's okay. I think I know this person. You don't have to call the police. Just take me to see him first."

"Okay, okay." The doctor said this and nodded. "In that case, sir, can I ask, are you really mercenaries?"

"Of course." The mercenary said this and deliberately showed the knife at his waist.

The doctor was so scared that he dodged to the side and deliberately kept a distance from the mercenary.

The mercenary sneered inwardly when he saw the other party's reaction.

Haha, he looked well-dressed, but turned out to be a coward.

"Um, sir, are your mercenaries generally more violent?"

"Of course. After all, we are doing a job that is on the edge of a knife and we live a life of uncertainty. Who would deliberately suppress themselves?" said the mercenary.

But in reality, the mercenaries didn't even dare to breathe in front of Mudrick.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted as they walked deeper into the alley.

Looking at the newcomer lying in the depths of the alley, leaning against the wall and falling asleep, the mercenary nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, it's him, but why is he in this posture? It looks like he was placed here by someone?"

"Well, actually he didn't catch me here, but I thought it was a bit inappropriate to leave him alone on the street or in front of someone's house, so I used all my strength to drag him here."

"Okay, thank you very much." The mercenary said this, stretched out his hand and patted the doctor's shoulder.

"By the way, before you take him back, can I ask you one last question?" the doctor said, looking at the mercenary.

"Of course." The mercenary nodded.

Half a minute later, the doctor held the bloody scalpel in his hand, looked at the fallen body, sighed, then stuffed the body into a trash can deep in the alley and covered the trash can with a lid.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t have a clinic in Saint Laurent City, otherwise this corpse would be a valuable material for his medical research.

……

Mudrick slept until dawn. Looking at the light coming in from outside the house, he was a little dazed for a moment.

Then, he suddenly thought of something, jumped out of bed, and went to the second floor.

It was exactly the same situation as what he encountered when he went upstairs last night. Mudrick even thought he was dreaming.

After pinching his face to confirm that it was the real world, Mudrick was stunned.

What's going on?

Where are my men?

I have so many subordinates, where have they all gone?

Mudrick was a little skeptical, so he went to the first floor, looked at the wall clock and confirmed the time. When he saw that there was no one there, he was even more stunned.

None of his men came back...

A horrible guess emerged in his mind.

Could it be that they were all killed?

At this time, he saw a piece of paper placed at the front desk.

In standard Imperial print it reads:

See you in the forest outside the city in two days.

Judging from the other party's intention, it was obvious that they were going to set up a Hongmen Banquet and invite me to attend.

"What a bunch of shameless brats! You can't beat me so you attack my brothers. What a talent!" Mudrick said this and angrily punched the table, smashing the long wooden table at the front desk into pieces in an instant.

But he seemed to have forgotten who had taken on the task of kidnapping someone else's weak spot before.

When he took on the task before, which was to be the so-called black glove of the nobles and help them get rid of those they disliked, he did not seem to feel that he was shameless.
