Most of the faces changed when they saw the situation on the third floor. So were dark, so were furious, only a middle-aged man with purple hair smiled and sized Ye Zhongming up with interest.
The area did not look good.
The few attendants shivered in a corner. The Bug Emperor Honey was gone, the old man guarding the shop was sunken on the side, and his head was covered in blood…
It didn’t look good. The only good thing was that no one died.
“Were you the one that injured the guards at Zisu Street?”
A tall and thin guy spoke. He wasn’t too old, but he gave one a lancholic feeling. He wore leather armor similar to the city guards',, who were from the sa system. But the mark on his chest looked higher-level.
Ye Zhongming looked at the situation and nodded.
“You are bold.” That guy spoke. After he finished, he clapped, and Ye Zhongming heard so chanical sounds.
He didn’t need to look and knew that they were surrounded. If he was right, they should be from the city guards. The chanical sounds were similar to the corrosive tubes.
“Slow down, slow down, hehe.”
A person’s words cald the tense situation. The person who spoke was that smiling person.
The city guard’s thin and tall guy hesitated but didn’t give the order to attack.
The smiling guy took two steps forward. He didn’t talk to Ye Zhongming imdiately and just looked at the three-legged old man.
“Uncle Long, are you okay?”
The old man was ashad, “I am okay, but I am sorry that I didn’t protect the Bug Emperor Honey.”
He looked at Ye Zhongming. That answer was obvious, that the item was in his hands.
The person who was called Host acknowledged the situation and then looked at Ye Zhongming. This ti, he was shocked. He wondered where that huge Bug Emperor Honey went to and quickly realised sothing. His eyes lit up.
Space equipnt was precious in any place.
“Host, don’t waste ti with him; let us do it.”
The three guys behind the host took up three locations and stared at Ye Zhongming. They were tempted to fight.
Ye Zhongming glanced and saw that they were all experts. They had an aura that he couldn’t underestimate.
This Host could stop the powerful city guard’s thin guy with just one sentence. His n consisted of three, stronger nr than the three-legged man.
It made sense; the people who got the Bug Emperor Honey wouldn’t be weak.
The Host waved. He was not angry toward Ye Zhongming, but he even bowed toward him.
“Seems like this friend did it on purpose.”
What Ye Zhongming did before he climbed the stairs was not what a normal robber would do.
“Now that I am here, can you tell
your goal?”
Ye Zhongming was impressed by him.
To say such words directly and not ask about his own treasure was not sothing an ordinary person could do.
“The Host has everything here. So, did you collect them yourself, or did your subordinates hunt for them?”
Ye Zhongming’s question surprised him. He didn’t expect a strong robber to ask that.
He smiled, “Most are collected. My subordinates usually move around Heima Valley.”
Ye Zhongming nodded and thought about it, “Where is the furthest your rchant squad got to? Did they cross the border?”
This question confused him again.
“The furthest… Very far. As for the border, I don’t know which you are referring to. If it is Heima’s side, sitting the floating carpet beast won’t take long.”
Ye Zhongming’s eyes lit up. This shop owner knew more than Yindi and the others.
Yindi didn’t know that Heima Valley had a border.
“You want to find a way out?”
The three-legged man asked. Maybe he was also an outsider, so he was sensitive to Ye Zhongming’s goal and guessed it imdiately.
Ye Zhongming didn’t hide that he wanted to find a way out.
The host touched his chin and thought about it, “Allow
to be honest, based on what I know, I have never heard of an outsider that escaped. This is a sealed world. Since you are here, you must be prepared to live here.”
“This…”
The host finished. The person from the city guards hesitated, which caused many people to look at him.
“Actually, it is not impossible. Although I am not sure, my commander knows sothing.”
The tall, thin person in charge looked at the host and said, “Also, do you rember mber Wuliu studies this? Your outsider subordinate was also called and questioned.”
The host’s expression was weird, and he nodded.
“Indeed, but I don’t know if there was any progress?”
That city guard mber looked at Ye Zhongming, “How about you head back with ? Our commander is there. We can also invite mber Wuliu. Since so much ti has passed, they might have found a way back.”
“What do you think?” He asked the host, who nodded, “Sure, I will go too. I am very interested in how the outsiders ca here.”
After Ye Zhongming agreed, the bunch of them left the luxurious stall and rushed to the headquarters.
There were a few luxurious buildings in Scarbi City. Apart from the ceremonial clocktower, there was a noble’s palace, the artisan headquarters, and the guard’s headquarters.
When the group reached, the infrastructure opened Ye Zhongming’s eyes.
This had a different style from Earth.
After walking into a black building, the tall and thin person in charge told everyone to wait, and he went to inform the commander.
The host talked to Ye Zhongming. He asked Ye Zhongming where he ca from and was evidently very curious.
In a while, the person in charge returned. There were three people dressed similarly, but they were much more exquisite than him. In the middle was the commander, who had white hair, white eyes, and a surging aura.
Behind the few of them were around twenty guards.
Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes and laughed.
“You spent so much effort to get
here and only prepared so few people?”
