Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

(Oleg's decision to let Emilia be his successor seems to have little to do with my suggestion... He must have known from the beginning that Emilia was capable, but he didn't choose her because he didn't want her to suffer.)

·

As the atmosphere and order in the quest guild gradually recovered, many reward hunters gradually gathered in the hall to chat.

Since most of the surviving bounty hunters who participated in the Sangbei Wasteland incident were injured, most of the bounty hunters who did not participate still do not know the truth of the night before.

The story circulating in Sunny Town about that tragic night is that an extremely dangerous giant snake monster appeared in the Sangbei Wasteland. When Branch Chief Oleg learned about it, he urgently organized more than 30 reward hunters to go and fight it overnight.

After paying a heavy price, the giant snake monster was destroyed, but Branch Chief Oleg was seriously injured and more than half of the reward hunters were killed or injured.

"It's a pity I wasn't near the union that night, otherwise I could have gone along and seen the branch chief fight."

"Yeah, I heard that the branch chief was incredibly strong when he was young. It's a shame I didn't get to see that."

"Alas, it is said that Brother Nasar also died in battle. Such a good man is gone just like that..."

"What? Brother Nassar is dead?"

"..."

The voices of everyone's discussion reached Emilia's ears. In the past, she would have just listened to it and let it go, but now everyone was spreading rumors, not only burying the merits that Benning had fought for at the cost of his life, but also mistakenly regarded the death of the traitor Nassar as a sacrifice. This made Emilia unacceptable.

Just as Emilia was about to go to the hall to explain everything, someone grabbed her hand from behind.

Emilia looked back and saw that it was Banning who had been hiding in the dark.

Banning said nothing, just smiled and shook his head.

"Emilia, it's a good idea to use this opportunity to further enhance the branch chief's authority. I don't think there's any need to clarify. As for the Nassar matter, the branch chief will definitely explain it later... Now that the union has finally stabilized, it would be best not to cause any chaos."

What Banning said made sense, and Emilia understood it, but...

"But then, wouldn't you..."

Emilia wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Banning who put his index finger on his lips.

"I didn't do those things for fame."

·

Since Benning said so, Emilia had no choice but to give up.

However, Emilia secretly made up her mind that after the branch chief recovered, she would make him use his full strength and leave Banning as the next branch chief.

"Oh my, I heard that Branch Chief Oleg has passed away. What should the guild do about this?"

Suddenly, arrogant words were heard from the union gate.

Emilia looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person coming was Kive, the eldest son of the mayor of Sunny Town.

Although Kivvy is tall and strong, he is weak inside and does not have a good reputation in Sunny Town.

However, because he is rich, he is always surrounded by a bunch of random people, including now.

Surrounded by four or five burly men who looked like bounty hunters, Kiwi arrived at the union hall.

"Hey, fellow reward hunters, since the branch leader of this quest guild has fallen, why don't you come to our Adventurer's Guild? Not only is there no handling fee, but we've also hired a third-level combat professional expert to lead your team."

As soon as Kivy finished speaking, the strong men around him showed off their muscles and displayed their weapons.

Emilia couldn't tell their true strength, but judging from their appearance, they were indeed powerful and intimidating people.

However, Emilia would not let the other party run wild in the mission union. She walked to the platform in the mission hall and attracted everyone's attention.

"Mr. Kivi, this is the Mission Guild. If you want to recruit talented people, please go outside and recruit them."

Emilia's direct response, neither humble nor arrogant, immediately caught Kive's attention.

"Oh? Where did this demi-human come from? Oh my god, he's actually a fox-man. No wonder I smelled a foul odor the moment I came in, hahahaha!"

Kivi deliberately made sarcastic remarks in an exaggerated tone, and the men around him immediately burst into laughter.

Emilia remained unmoved by the insults.

Emilia knew clearly that if a fight broke out in the quest guild, firstly, the quest guild's facilities would be damaged, and secondly, if Kivey was injured, the mayor would likely take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Emilia warned herself not to give the other party any chance to take advantage of her.

At this time, some old reward hunters who usually supported Emilia could not bear it anymore. They stood in a row and stood between Emilia and Kivi.

"Kivvy, did you eat shit this morning? Why does your mouth stink so bad?"

I can only say that he is worthy of being an old reward hunter. He gave Kivi a warning as soon as he came on the stage, causing everyone in the audience to start laughing at Kivi.

Kiwi always allows himself to scold others, but not others to scold him, otherwise he will immediately fly into a rage!

"Your mother is the one who ate shit! Come on, brothers! Beat him to death!!"

As soon as the words fell, Kiwi's men pressed forward aggressively, and the old reward hunters refused to give in!

Emilia stood at the back, watching the two groups about to start a fight, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

In the past, when encountering such things, as long as the branch chief stood up, others would not dare to cause trouble. But now Emilia does not have the branch chief's top-level second-level strength, and she can't even squeeze through the crowd.

Just when Emilia was about to cry, a man in a patrol uniform jumped onto the platform and shouted loudly.

"The Adventurer's Guild is on fire~! Everyone, go help~!"

5.6 - Cleaning up the garbage

"The Adventurer's Guild is on fire??"

Kivi was shocked when he heard this.

In order to build the Adventurer's Guild to compete with the Quest Guild for business, his father, the mayor, invested a lot of money in it!

“Everyone, get out of my way!!”

Kivi didn't have time to bother with the Task Force Guild at this moment, and immediately rushed out with his men.

But if he could think about it carefully, it would not be difficult to find the unreasonableness of the scene just now.

If the Adventurer's Guild really was on fire, the patrolmen should be shouting along the streets.

Not only did the patrol team run into the quest guild that was hostile to the adventurer's guild, but they also jumped onto the platform and shouted. Wasn't this actually shouted to Kivvy and his group?

It’s a pity that Kiwi is indeed a man of no ability, just like his reputation, and was deceived without any suspicion.

If we have to give him a way out, we can only say that Kivi would never have thought that the patrol team affiliated with the mayor's forces would actually go to help the task union.

·

After Kiwi and the others ran out, the patrolman also left with them.

The reward hunters laughed and said that evildoers will be punished, but Emilia was still a little unresponsive.

At this time, Emilia found that Banning was following the patrol team out, and immediately realized that the scene just now might be related to Banning.

She was about to catch up and ask when Benning turned around and met Emilia's eyes.

Banning waved at Emilia, smiled mysteriously, and then left the quest guild.

——(Does this mean I shouldn't worry and should prioritize taking care of the quest guild?)

Emilia paused, then decided to trust Banning and focus on doing what she should do.

·

The reason why Jiang Ran followed the patrol team was because the effective range of the "Trickster"'s words was only five meters.

Just now, after seeing Kiwi and his gang coming in to cause trouble, Jiang Ran immediately went to the street and controlled the passing patrolman to act as his "spokesperson".

After leaving the quest guild, Jiang Ran released his control over the patrol members, and then followed Kiwi and the others from a distance towards the Adventurer's Guild. On the way, he also bought a black mask and a black cloak.

The Adventurer's Guild and the Quest Guild were only across the street from each other. Kiwi and his team quickly arrived at the scene, and then found that the Adventurer's Guild was not on fire. They were all confused.

"Damn it, we got fooled!"

It took Kivy a while to figure it out, and then he was so angry that his eyes were blazing with fire!

Kivy believed that the patrolman must have colluded with the people from the mission union!

"Let's go! Let's fight back!"

Taking four or five strong men with him, Kiwi walked back angrily. At this moment, an arrow shot from nowhere and pierced through Kiwi's crotch with a "whoosh" sound...!!!

“Ah…ah…ah…ah…!”

Kiwi was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and his hands reached down to his crotch in panic!

Fortunately, his thing was still there, and the arrow only passed through his pants and did not hurt his vitals.

For the first time since he was born, Kiwi felt sincerely thankful that having a miniature penis wasn't all bad.

"Damn it! Who is it?!"

Kiwi looked around frantically and ordered his men to form a circle to protect him.

Soon, a sharp-eyed subordinate noticed a figure moving on a nearby roof and immediately reported it to Kiwi.

Kiwi broke the arrow in anger and quickly chased after them with everyone!

·

As they chased, Kiwi and his group had unknowingly chased out of the city. The archers who attacked them were so fast that they couldn't catch up even after chasing for a long time.

However, the archer finally got tired of running and stopped in the desolate northern suburbs of Sunny Town.

“Ha…hahaha…ha…! I told you…to run!…you can’t run anymore…right?”

Among the group, Kiwi had the worst physical strength. He was out of breath after running, while the others were panting to varying degrees.

On the contrary, this archer didn't even breathe heavily and didn't seem to have broken a drop of sweat.

The archer turned around calmly. Not only was he covered in a black cloak, but he also had a pitch-black mask on his face, making it impossible to tell his identity.

"You are looking for trouble with the Task Union. Aren't you afraid of offending Branch Chief Oleg?" the archer asked calmly.

"Ha...hahahaha...what the hell is Oleg!"

Kiwi took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down.

"For an old fellow like Oleg, whose half body is in the coffin, my dad can always find a third-level expert to take care of him!"

Kivi now understood that the archer was from the Task Guild.

"That means you will continue to cause trouble for the Quest Guild?" the archer continued to ask.

"Humph, nonsense!"

Kive clenched his fists until they crackled.

"I'm going to take care of you first, and then I'm going to go and destroy that vixen's place! I'm going to rape her first and then kill her, haha! Come on, everyone!"

·

At Kivy's command, the five thugs he hired rushed forward.

Facing these five people, no, six people, Jiang Ran was very calm.

The five thugs looked strong, but in reality they were merely "professional mercenaries" in their twenties, the same combat class as Branch Chief Oleg. Some of them wielded axes, others hammers—in short, all melee weapons.

And Kivi himself was the weakest, just a first-order, level six "Swordsman".

It’s a pity, if his level was a little lower, Jiang Ran could use the effect of the "Trickster"'s words to control him.

"If you don't want to die, it's not too late to run now."

Jiang Ran drew out the black sword Flame Horse and pointed it straight at the thugs.

Unfortunately, these people had no vision and just thought that Jiang Ran was holding an ordinary sword, and continued to charge without any care.

(Then let me witness your growth, Black Sword Flame Horse.)

Jiang Ran injected magic power into the magic sword, then swung it horizontally!

(Blue Flame Horse!)

As the Black Sword Flame Horse was swung, azure flames flew out from the blade. Then, this strange ball of blue fire turned into a galloping horse, neighing faintly as it rushed towards the professional mercenaries!

The professional mercenaries who were charging were unable to dodge in time. Two of them were directly burned by the blue flame horses, and three were scratched by the external flames.

The two professional mercenaries who were directly hit were instantly burned into charcoal and died on the spot.
