Chapter 287 – City of Freedom Part 1
Translated by: Taffy
The mysterious guest first froze a bit after seeing Xiang Yun’s mighty blade. With no better option, the person’s body whirled around lightning fast, as his right leg filled with a shocking amount of energy that flashed a brilliant red. In an instant, the yellow glowing blade and the red glowing foot charged at each other.
“Freeze!” An earth-shaking shout rang through the air after seeing the two people about to clash. The next instant…the fierce sound of an explosion, followed by a violent ball of light, shook the earth.
“F*ck!” Suo Jia lowly cursed. He didn’t dare waste any ti, and hurriedly rushed towards the fight. As he neared, Suo Jia saw exactly what he’d expected; Xiang Yun and that mysterious guest had been miserably sent flying out dozens of ters by each other’s energies, and collapsed on the ground. Although judging from their outer appearance, the two seed as intact as they’d been at the start, one could tell from the trace of blood trickling down the corner of their mouths and their green complexions that they’d both suffered heavy internal injuries.
Suo Jia quickly waved his right hand, casting two Moisture Techniques in succession at both Xiang Yun and the mysterious guest. Seeing this, Nicole cried out in shock from behind him, “Heavens! Are you stupid? We just managed to defeat that guy, yet you assisted him!”
Suo Jia bitterly laughed, and didn’t pay any mind to Nicole. He turned to say to Xiang Yun and the mysterious guest, “You guys are like fighting cocks, so belligerent! If I hadn’t shouted then, you guys probably would’ve ended in mutual destruction.”
Seeing that Suo Jia was yelling at the mysterious guest as well, Xiang Yun realized that Suo Jia seed to recognize the guy. Xiang Yun looked at Suo Jia with uncertainty, then looked back at the fellow, who was in an equally miserable state as him. He then asked, “Suo Jia, this guy is…”
Suo Jia bitterly laughed and shook his head. He then turned around to walk to the bonfire, and without turning back around, called out, “Xiang Yun, Roger, and Nicole, all three of you co over here.”
Hearing this, Nicole and Xiang Yun could imdiately confirm that Suo Jia was indeed acquainted with this fellow. If he even knew the mysterious person’s na, how could they not know each other? Xiang Yun went over to support Roger, and the two walked over to the bonfire.
After they’d all sat around the fire, Suo Jia said to the mysterious guest, “Roger, didn’t you go out to look for your family mbers? Why did you run over here? This place is thousands of kiloters away from Holy Light Empire!”
Before Roger could even respond, Nicole nudged Suo Jia’s arm and said, “Hey! Don’t just pretend we aren’t here, introduce us first!”
“Oh!” Suo Jia patted his head and said, “This fellow is my friend from back at Dawn City.”
Suo Jia turned around and said to Nicole, “You’ve also been to Dawn City before. This guy is the leader of the 100,000 slave soldiers. Hehe…but after I took over, I dragged them out and restored their freedom. Right now…he’s the vice-commander of the Dark Angels thief group!”
Once Nicole heard that he was a friend from the thief realm, Nicole imdiately perked up and excitedly said, “You’re pretty amazing, to beco a leader at such a young age. Who’s your commander?”
“Eh!” Roger blankly stared at her, and looked at Suo Jia, before looking back at Nicole. He then said in bewildernt, “Our commander is Young Master Suo Jia. You didn’t know this?”
“Pa!” Nicole facepald and chuckled, “Hehe…after being with Suo Jia for so long, I’d already forgotten how mighty he had been. Hehe…it’s a small mistake on my part.”
“Oh!” Xiang Yun asked curiously, “What? Suo Jia was pretty mighty before?”
Nicole stuck out her hip and replied, “What are you talking about? What’s pretty mighty supposed to an? He’s quite mighty!”
Nicole rolled her sleeves, seemingly about to thoroughly explain to Xiang Yun her family background. Seeing this, Suo Jia shook his head and said, “Forget it, that’s all the past. The current is just an ordinary person.”
Suo Jia eyes gradually lit up as he said, “If I, Suo Jia, was a very mighty person, then it would be sothing that’d happen after we pass through the Greater Trade Routes. That level of greatness is what I desire the most!”
“No, no, no…” Xiang Yun was clearly dissatisfied with Suo Jia’s words. He furiously shook his head and argued, “Crossing it alone isn’t anything big, it’s not like it’s mountains of daggers and seas of flas. Only by trying to proclaim yourself as the hegemon of the Greater Trade Routes will it be challenging. I won’t bother with anything else!”
“Heavens!” Hearing Xiang Yun’s delusional speech, Roger gasped, “Boss, you can’t actually be heading towards the Greater Trade Routes!”
Suo Jia gave at Roger a bewildered gaze and said, “Of course I’m actually going, why would it be fake! That’s right…you still haven’t answered . Why did you run all the way here? And you just happened to bump into . Don’t try to tell it was just a coincidence!”
“Hehe…” Roger smiled and explained, “Didn’t you go to search for my mother this morning? My mother ca back and told . After hearing her description of you, I imdiately recognized who you were!”
Suo Jia stared at Roger in utter confusion. After a long ti…Suo Jia’s body shook, and he cried out in shock, “God! Don’t tell that Lauren Aili is your mother!”
Roger wordlessly stared at Suo Jia for a bit, not sure whether to laugh or cry. “We’re all part of the Aili Clan. Don’t tell you didn’t know that my na was Roger Aili?”
“Then you can cook?” This question was Nicole’s first reaction to this information.
Roger looked at her in confusion and nodded, “Yea, of course I can. Cooking is sothing that’s passed down through our family. Anyone from my family, regardless of male or female, all have to learn and master it!”
Roger proudly pointed at himself with his thumb and declared, “This isn’t just bragging, but my cooking isn’t just “high level”. Even my mother admits that I’m a cooking genius that far surpasses her!”
“Yahoo!” Nicole jumped up in delight and cried out joyously, “Now, the difficult problem is finally solved. I don’t have to eat at every day any longer!”
Suo Jia couldn’t help but sweat drop. What kind of statent was that? …Was eating at every day really that hellish of a lifestyle? But when he thought it through again, this really did seem to be the case.
Xiang Yun nodded and said, “Mmm…that’s indeed not bad. You can both cook and fight. Although your strength is just the slightest bit less than mine, that’s already enough.”
“What!” Roger abruptly stood up and glared at Xiang Yun in anger. “Short haired guy, who did you say was slightly weaker than you? The fight just now didn’t actually have an outco. Let’s go again!”
“Hm?” Xiang Yun furrowed his brows, and like a fighting cock ready for a fight, he slowly stood up and said, “If you want to go at it, then let’s go. Do you think I’m scared of you? This ti, I’ll definitely defeat you!”
“Aha!” Roger threw his head back and laughed as he shook his head, “You took the words right out of my mouth. I’m not looking down on you or anything, but you’re still too early to defeat !”
After just this short exchange, Xiang Yun imdiately pulled out his sabre and began to fight with Roger. The resonant sounds of collisions rang through the air as the two began to travel further and further away while fighting. In just a mont, the two of them had disappeared from Suo Jia’s and Nicole’s sights.
Suo Jia stared dumbfoundedly towards the direction they’d disappeared in, and couldn’t help but laugh dryly. Xiang Yun’s belligerence was sothing he’d been born with; if he didn’t fight, he couldn’t live. But Roger’s love for fighting was related to his dignity as a man.
Although Roger had been a slave for a long ti, he’d been the strongest one amongst the 100,000 slave soldiers. No ordinary person could possibly make so many criminals concede to him. It could be said that Roger had never obeyed anyone; aside from owing Suo Jia a favor, he didn’t give a damn about anyone else.
While Suo Jia was standing in a daze, Nicole indifferently said, “Suo Jia, there’s no need to bother with them, just let them fight. Everyone’s already companions with each other, and I’m sure they know this too. Nothing big can co out of it. At most…you’ll have to heal them properly when they return.”
While neither Suo Jia nor Nicole completely understood the two guys’ strengths, they seed more or less evenly matched in fighting prowess. Even if there was a difference between them, it wasn’t sothing that could be determined in a short amount of ti. But to their surprise, Roger and Xiang Yun soon began walking back, one behind the other.
Nicole looked at them incredulously and cried out, “God! You guys were actually able to determine the victor and loser so soon? Quick…tell , who exactly won?!”
