Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

Is it a human? Not really, it's too sharp and fierce, but it doesn't look like a wild beast either. Wild beasts either move in packs like wolves, or they act alone because they have strong individual strength like the giant winged beast that Roya and Xiaoke encountered some time ago.

Two lines of sight represent two individuals. Where are such beasts nearby?

Luo Ya gripped the bow tightly, with the arrow already on the string. He gently placed Xiao Ke beside him and waited for the gaze to come over again. If the other party really regarded him and Xiao Ke as targets, then he would definitely look over again.

"Hit!"

Right here! Regardless of his back being wet with cold sweat, Luo Ya pulled the bowstring without any hesitation, and the black color extended from the bow to the arrow, and then he let go.

The sword with the command flew into the night, but there was no reaction. There was no roar or attack from the beast as expected. It seemed that the beast had been scared away. After a while, Roya was sure that there was nothing unusual and put away his bow and arrow.

He sat next to Xiao Ke, pretending to close his eyes and sleep against the car, putting the black bow aside, but his other hand turned to hold the sword hidden under the sleeping bag.

Only Xiao Ke was still sleeping, seemingly unaware of what had just happened. Luo Ya looked at the dark night, then looked at her, and always felt that the gaze came too suddenly and was a little too strange.

Chapter 16 The Not-So-Smart Dog

In the brightly lit, warm and cozy room, Luo Ya looked at his sister who had a high fever. Surprisingly, he did not feel anxious or impatient. He just squatted down and gently held her hand.

"Brother...cough cough."

The girl's smooth black hair was draped behind her head, her fair and lovely face was very red due to the fever, her consciousness and voice were both unclear, and she could only cough loudly.

"Am I going to die?"

"No, Mitsuki, brother will take you to see a doctor later."

Luo Ya's voice was very soft, as if he was worried about disturbing his sister. However, the real Luo Ya just stood at the end of the bed and watched the scene silently. He knew better than anyone that this was just another dream that existed in delusion.

He and Miyue were not biological siblings, they just happened to be unwanted children. They could not afford to live in such a good house, so the brother and sister squeezed together in that narrow, dark, damp and dilapidated hut.

The Miyue in my memory was not that pretty. She didn't grow tall due to malnutrition since childhood, and her hair was dry and her face was pale and thin.

It's not that Luo Ya didn't think about sending her to an orphanage, which would be much better than living a hard life with him, but this girl was very stupid and only wanted to follow him, so Luo Ya had no choice but to support her reluctantly.

As for Luo Ya himself, there was no way he could go to an orphanage. He had a criminal record of theft, and no one was willing to adopt such a child, and the orphanage would not accept him, so he could only try to do odd jobs, and then for one reason or another, he always did not get the salary he deserved.

He didn't understand at that time. He couldn't even read or do arithmetic. He had never been to school and his parents didn't exist. Only Miyue was willing to call him brother, so he accepted her as his sister.

"Brother, I don't want to go to the doctor."

The Miyue in the dream held the hand of the Luoya in the dream, and the real Luoya looked at her. If Miyue could grow up healthily, perhaps she would really become such a beautiful girl.

"Be good, Meiyue. I'll go get you some medicine."

Yes, it’s not that Miyue was afraid of injections, but she knew that her illness was not a cold or high fever, and could not be cured by injections. She also knew that Luo Ya had no money, and Luo Ya himself knew it, so that night he once again violated the old man’s teachings - he went to rob.

A child who was less than seventeen years old was caught for robbery as expected, but what made him more desperate than being caught was the news from the police.

On the night he left, Mitsuki swallowed all the painkillers. The police finally determined it was suicide, but Luo Ya felt that it must be because the silly girl was in too much pain, so she thought that if she swallowed all the pills, she would not feel any pain. How could Mitsuki commit suicide?

In a trance, Luo Ya had completely become the person in the dream, squatting in front of the warm and comfortable bed, holding his sister's hand and soothing her emotions and pain.

"I've actually thought about it many times. If I hadn't left that night, you might not have died. But... I also feel a little relieved."

Luo Ya thought that death would free him from suffering, and at least his sister would no longer be tortured by this world. However, he felt ashamed and regretful for this thought.

"Brother." Miyue gently stroked the back of Luoya's hand, with a smile on her face just like the first time she received Luoya's gift. "I still want to be with you, brother. I haven't seen you find a sister-in-law yet."

"So... bro, I want to die."

All of Luoya's voice was blocked in his throat by these words. Miyue's hands gradually became dry, and everything around him became the most familiar appearance to Luoya. Miyue didn't know when she closed her eyes.

"Don't die, don't die..."

Just like he knelt in front of her grave in the past, Luo Ya knelt in front of the bed and held her hand tightly, but after experiencing too many such dreams, he could no longer cry like before.

"Roya! Roya!"

As a pain came from his face, Luo Ya suddenly opened his eyes and pushed Xiao Ke, who was riding on his waist, away.

"Stupid dog, why did you hit me so early in the morning?!"

After leaving the dream, Luo Ya couldn't help rubbing his cheeks, thinking that at least this stupid dog didn't dislocate his jaw.

"Because Luoya, you didn't make breakfast for Xiaoke, and you didn't get up no matter how I called you." Xiaoke stood up and patted the dust off his body. "And you said something like you didn't want to die. Did you dream about something bad?"

"I just dreamed about some things from the past. There's nothing strange about it. Didn't you bite my hand when you went to sleep the night before?"

Luo Ya patted his head. It was because he always had these dreams that he didn't like sleeping. Couldn't he dream about something good, like his past in this world?

"Is it really okay?"

"No, if you keep talking, you can eat grass in the morning."

Talking in sleep is not a good habit. Luo Ya found that he still held the sword in his right hand. He had planned to guard the whole night last night, but he fell asleep. Fortunately, he was not attacked in the process.

But I definitely won't be so careless next time. You can't survive in the wilderness by relying on luck alone.

"It's okay to eat grass, Xiaoke!"

Seeing this silly girl raising her hand with a proud look, Luo Ya remembered that her stomach could eat shower gel as if it were jam. Not to mention grass, she could even eat dirt.

"Then go memorize the multiplication table."

Just one sentence made Xiao Ke's dog ears turn into airplane ears. Luo Ya snorted and said, "You little guy, you still want to fight with me? You should memorize the multiplication table first."

"Why does Xiao Ke want to learn that kind of thing? You can't eat it."

"But if you don't recite it, you won't have anything to eat." Luo Ya nodded affirmatively. Xiao Ke could only lower his head and silently recite what he learned yesterday.

Considering Xiao Ke's intelligence, Luo Ya had consulted a doctor every time he went back to resupply her during this month to see if she had any illness, but the results were always surprisingly consistent.

Overall, this girl has a very healthy body, and everything is normal except for her brain. It is not recommended for guardians to leave their sight, and it is recommended that they remember to keep the leash when going out.

"One plus one equals one, one plus two equals two, one plus three equals three... well, one of anything equals anything."

Although Xiao Ke is not smart, he is not so stupid that he can't react to anything. He looks at Luo Ya with a happy face.

"Roya Roya, Xiao Ke can recite the multiplication of one now!"

"Oh, what's nineteen?"

Luo Ya packed his things without any care. It was still several hours away from here to Songqiu Town, so they had to leave quickly.

"Nine!"

Xiao Ke answered proudly with his hands on his hips, his ears and well-developed chest trembling with pride, but Luo Ya didn't even bother to take a second look.

"What's nine times one?"

This brand new question successfully made Xiao Ke's brain crash. She thought about it for a while and decided not to touch the multiplication table again in her life.

After all, she's just a not-so-smart dog.

Chapter 17: I'll retire after this order

In Songqiu Town, they first found a lucky snack stand and asked the owner to grill meat until Xiao Ke cried. After Xiao Ke barely ate half full, Luo Ya finally dragged the girl to the tavern and handed in all the tasks he had done.

There were three tasks to clear out the nests, and two tasks to eliminate scavengers and bandits. The former was the easiest. After all, no matter whether it was an Originium worm or a wild beast, they would flee after sensing the aura of the Black Bow. Roya only needed to insert an arrow contaminated with the aura of the Black Bow into the nest and they would abandon it.

The clearing mission was a bit more troublesome, as the scavengers all lived in groups, and some of them knew magic. In situations where there was a numerical advantage over the disadvantage, Roya would always get injured a few times, which made him realize that his body seemed to be able to use up the remaining time to speed up recovery.

"All five tasks have been completed. It seems that the lives of old Leto and his men are not as tough as they boast. Tsk tsk, you are worthy of your reputation."

Tolan smiled and touched his chin, looking like he deserved a beating. After all, he was the one who sent the task to Luoya to clear out the gathering place of scavengers.

"Alright, alright, this is our last deal. I'm going to pack up and go to Minos. Please help me get some supplies."

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? You've just made a name for yourself. Wouldn't it be a shame to retire now?"

From Tolan's perspective, Roya was born to be a mercenary and bounty hunter. In recent years, he has never seen anyone like Roya who can do things without leaving any room for compromise while maintaining a bottom line. Although his strength is not among the top ones, he is very efficient, not procrastinating at all, and his price is not expensive.

"I just wanted to earn some money for my trip, and this month is enough."

Reaching out and holding Xiao Ke's head to prevent the silly girl from running away again, Luo Ya didn't care about the so-called reputation at all. As a bounty hunter and mercenary, reputation is not a good thing. Although the remuneration can be increased appropriately, most of the time he has to worry about whether his head will become money in the pockets of his peers.

In this month alone, the bounty on Luo Ya's head has increased to eighty red gold. People around him don't look at him in a friendly way. If Songqiu Town didn't strictly prohibit private fights, the tavern would probably be full of corpses by now.

"That's a shame. I just heard about a big order and was thinking of inviting you to join us."

"You can't handle it?" Luo Ya narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew very well that Tolan's strength was similar to his own, and he had a group of younger brothers under him. The reason why he didn't do some things personally was just to avoid being caught.

If Tolan can't handle this order, then he doesn't want to get involved. He only has half a year left to live and who can afford this?

"It's not me, it's a company in Colombia. Their competitor collapsed for some reason, but they don't want their new products to be destroyed secretly. That would be a waste, so they hope we can help recycle them."

"You told me this because you are confident that I will be able to participate in the mission?"

The situation was more troublesome than Roya had imagined. How could a bankrupt company have the extra energy to destroy its own products? This meant that there might be official Colombian forces behind it. The firepower configuration of the transport team must be extraordinary. This was not like the transport convoy that he and Xiao Ke had robbed before.

"Aren't you curious about your past at all, Mr. Roya?"

Hearing Tolan calling out his real name instead of his pseudonym Noah, Luo Ya really didn't expect that he had found out something. It was no secret that he investigated his life experience. It seemed that this guy's intelligence network extended far and the power behind him was extraordinary, so he didn't want to confront Columbia directly.

This is also the disadvantage of having a large family and a lot of wealth. He can't just run away like Luo Ya, but Tolan really hit his weakness and made it impossible for him to refuse.

"Tsk...I'll do it, but the reward must satisfy me."

"I can't tell you about the reward for the information, but the rest will definitely satisfy you."

Tolan threw his bag to Roya, which, like before, contained information that might be used in the operation, including the enemy's firepower, route of action, and other intelligence.

"Let me make it clear first, I will only act alone and will not be in a team with other people."

This was out of caution. Bounty hunters rarely cooperated with each other because they might be plotted against by temporary teammates. Roya didn't want to add extra danger to an already high-risk operation.

"of course."

With Luo Ya's participation, things will be much simpler this time. After all, they have cooperated so many times, Tolan has confidence in him, and Luo Ya is also well aware of his reputation as a loner.

Take the reward that he deserves, and hold Xiao Ke by the hand to prevent her from ruining other people's meals. This time Luo Ya needs to be more prepared. He doesn't want to get into it. He will pack up all the things tonight. If he can't win the battle, he doesn't need to go back to Songqiu Town and can just run away.

"Roya, aren't we going to Minos?"

"After this job, retire and go to Minos to find out your origins."

"Okay, Xiaoke needs to eat first!"

In fact, for Xiao Ke now, getting her name back is still very important, but what is more important is that with Luo Ya around, she gradually doesn’t care about her past and name anymore. After all, she is Xiao Ke, and this can also be used as a name.

Watching Luo Ya carrying Xiao Ke away, Tolan stroked his chin and wondered if the news he got this morning was true. It was true that Luo Ya's methods were sharp and ruthless, and he never hesitated to take action.

But he still couldn't imagine that the nanny-like guy in front of him would be the deputy director of the Longmen Guard Bureau, or rather the former deputy director. After all, the deputy director Luo Ya, who was considered evil in the eyes of the Longmen people and had eliminated Casimir, Ursus and many other spies, was already dead.

Tolan couldn't comment. After all, the information he got came from people inside Casimir, and many things didn't match. For example, Roya showed up last month, but the deputy director of Longmen died less than three days after Roya appeared here. Not to mention that resurrection from the dead sounded too absurd, it would take at least a week to get from Longmen to here.

"Whether it is or not, I hope he won't cause me trouble then."

After all, this incident involves the official forces of Colombia. If we get involved, the organization that has been developed with great difficulty may suffer crazy revenge from Colombia. The best option is to spread the news and let the bounty hunters wait for an opportunity to act.

To muddy the waters before taking action. Tolan didn't want to be the middleman, but there was no way because the other party offered too much.

However, the rewards are proportional to the risks, and things are really difficult to deal with.

Chapter 4 Special Cargo ( in k)

Early the next morning, Luo Ya dragged Xiao Ke, who was still sleepy, hungry and unmotivated, to a place that was completely different from the original plan.

"Roya, aren't we going to fight the bad guys?"

Behind a rock wall in the wilderness, Xiao Ke was lying on the car seat and wagging her tail out of boredom. Although she was stupid, she could still understand the map. At least she knew that this place was far away from the place marked with a cross on the map.

"This time we are not going to fight the bad guys, we are going to be the bad guys, so Xiao Ke you just need to guard me as always, you don't need to attack anyone."

Most of the time, Luo Ya would not let Xiao Ke's hands get involved in any murder, and he would try not to take jobs that were too dirty or dangerous. But this time was different. The company responsible for escorting those products was a well-known security company in Colombia, called Black Steel International.

There were five vehicles and thirty people in total, but they were equipped with enough firepower to kill all the mercenaries in Songqiu Town, not to mention the standard equipment such as fully automatic crossbows and Originium cannons. Luo Ya didn't dare to say that his arrows could penetrate the alloy armor plates of the armored vehicles. Xiao Ke estimated that it would take some effort.

And according to intelligence, there is a very powerful Originium magic master in the guard team. Of course, the premise is that Roja is unlucky enough to run into him.

"The information Tolan provided was very detailed, but a little too detailed. He almost told me how many brothers and sisters the people escorting the goods had in their families."

Holding a telescope and looking at the canyon below and the road not far away, Luoya had a piece of dried meat in his mouth, and beside him was a full quiver, a black bow, and a long sword.

"And after all, couldn't Columbia destroy the experimental products? Why did they go to such great lengths to transport them to Kazdel, which was in the midst of a civil war? It was obvious that they had other intentions, and they didn't even try to cover up the situation along the way.
