Chapter 51: Two vs fifteen (II)
Deep into the night, a large truck began to move out of a cave less than a day away from Rouk City. Despite its size, the vehicle made no noise and silently moved through the forest.
Two men were sitting in the cab. One was very old with a large scar over his left eye, while the other resembled a middle-aged man with dark hair. Unlike the elder’s stoic expression, the younger smiled as he watched the trees passing by.
“You sure are relaxed. It is your fault that we need to move so fast. You could have incapacitated the guard but immediately went for the kill.” The older man spoke harshly, but the middle-aged man kept smiling.
“Of course that I ended him. Although it was unlikely, he might have caught a glimpse of my face. Unlike you, I don’t intend to waste my life as a lowly criminal. My only goal is to get enough resources to enter Level 4 and get a comfortable life as a guard in some Noble Family.” The middle-aged man spoke mockingly and did not bother to hide his disdain.
“Haha, what family would hire someone with your taste as a guard.” The old man’s special emphasis on the word taste hinted there was a hidden meaning to it, and the cold reaction of the middle-aged man affirmed it.
“Hmph, I never leave evidence, and you should watch your mouth unless you want to become one.”
A tense atmosphere formed between the duo as the middle-aged man issued that threat, but then, out of nowhere, their eyes widened as they felt a powerful aura coming to them.
.....
Before the duo could do anything, a man covered in blade armor and enveloped in flames reached the truck’s cab. And at the same time, another man with black scale armor attacked the trailer.
