Chapter 137: Preparing for Battle
Chief’s frightening expression suddenly vanished, he patted the bandit on the back and began to laugh.
"Ah, Sabo, that was just a joke. I personally keep tabs on the bandits near me, and even if all of you conspired against me, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill every last one of you," he said with laughter, though the last words didn’t exactly reassure Sabo.
"What are your orders?" Sabo asked.
"Nothing. You can let him fly away. A Magic Map V2 isn’t that expensive. It’s not worth chasing after him. Just ask Igari if someone like that worked under him," he said.

"But what if he’s not a bandit? He knows our location. What if he’s from the Empire?" Sabo asked.
"That’s unlikely. He already knew our location beforehand, and if I know the Empire, they would’ve sent an army right away," Chief said.
"Thank you, Chief, for the explanation. I’ll send a message to the Head Bandit," Sabo said and left.
