236 - Edward's Arrogance
“Don’t ever cross the river carelessly, Young Master,” Hector warned Gunnar. “It’s not just the boars and bristlebacks, there are many other dangers out there. You said you spent three years in the mountains, but I don’t believe that. If I see you sneaking out again, I will tell the elders.”“Why are you working at night?” Gunnar asked.In the clan, the older guards were generally not given night shifts, unless in emergency situations.“After the tunnel got destroyed, how can I sleep?” Hector replied.“So you’re working extra hours? Even though you don’t get paid for it?” Gunnar was not expecting that because Hector was known to have gotten lazy in recent years.“It’s better to sit here in the chair than sleep next to my quarrelsome wife,” Hector said, chortling a little.“Is that so?” Gunnar didn’t know much about Hector’s current situation, but Hector’s son was the person assigned to clean the streets and maintain the cleanliness of the village.Hector's two grandsons died while tak
235 - Taking a Risk
Gunnar remained at the shore for a little longer in case he might spot the girl.At the same time, a few hundred meters away from there.A couple of hunters were displaying the two boars on the street. Nearly two dozen men and women gathered around.“Look at that boar. Its tusks are decently grown.”“Yeah. It’s got to be over 100 kilos.”“Damn! If I had caught even one of those, I would earn enough money to feed my family for a whole season.”“Both weigh 230 kilos together,” the hunters said. “Our price is twenty copper pieces per kilo. Whoever buys the whole boar gets a ten percent discount.”Even though the hunters demanded twenty copper pieces for one kilo, the people bargained very much, and eventually, the hunters sold one kilo for just eight copper pieces. Even the tusks, tail and hooves were sold for a certain price.By the time they chopped the 110 kg boar and sold it completely, the hunters earned close to eight silver coins.They still had the bigger 120kg boar to sell.They
234 - Tight Battle
“Crosscut!”Two swords blurred through the air.Gunnar’s eyes widened as he ducked backward.A dark red vine shot out of the ground and wrapped itself against Gunnar’s throat. “Not this again?!”The vine squeezed Gunnar’s throat and pulled him down toward the ground.The two wooden-masked men recalled their swords into their storage rings and drew a pair of heavy hammers.Without a moment's hesitation, they brought the hammers crashing down toward Gunnar's head.Gunnar brought his arms in the way and blocked the combined hammer strikes.The ground beneath his head and shoulders caved in and sent him nearly twenty feet deep.Ripples formed in the nearby river.One of the masked men jumped into the river.“We should deal with her quickly and disappear before anyone can spot us.” The second masked man jumped high into the air and raised his hand above his head. A twelve-feet tall thick wooden log appeared in his hand. It had a flat base on one side but a sharpened tip on the other side.
233 - The Damsel in Distress
As the smoke dispersed, Number One fell to his knees, bleeding from the nose and mouth.Gunnar picked up the sword from the ground and brought it near the leader’s neck.“I know you’re from Sloth city, but I want to hear it from your own mouth,” Gunnar said. “Did the city lord send you?”“Even if you kill me…” Number One huffed, “it’s not the end. Stronger squads will be dispatched.”Gunnar pressed the sword against his neck. “What is your goal? Why did you come at this hour? It’s not with good intention.”Number One grinned. “Why would I tell you?”Gunnar frowned. He was thinking of letting Number One live so that he’d go back to the city and warn the city lord to not mess with the fist clan.But now, he changed his mind.“Should I just kill you and then pay a visit to the city lord?” Gunnar said. “If I kill him, then everything will be solved.”Number One’s expression changed. “You think you can take on our city lord?” He tried to take a deep breath, but he couldn’t. Despite the pai
232 - Too Weak
The archer hiding in the tree did not take his eyes off Gunnar, but he was also frustrated by the fact that his team members were unable to fight off bees.“What the hell are they doing?” Number Six was furious. “How can you struggle against some random bees?”He wanted to yell at them, but he didn’t want to give his position away.Gunnar suddenly moved from one tree to another.Number Six shot two arrows at him, and he himself moved to another tree to confuse Gunnar.But Gunnar threw a punch from behind the tree.A fist-shaped aura flew like a missile and came straight at the archer. He was not expecting that. He got hit before he could respond. His bow was broken, and he was sent flying back.The bees immediately started attacking him.Despite him using aura, the bees were still able to pierce his body. At least a few hundred of them repeatedly drilled holes into his body.Gunnar quietly watched.The forest region right now looked like a disaster was sweeping across the land up to a
231 - The Muddy Youth
They weren’t making any sound, so Gunnar would have missed these presences if he was just relying on his sense of hearing.But thanks to his skin breathing technique, he was able to feel their presence as a group.He didn’t know how many of them there were, but he felt that there were definitely more than one.Gunnar opened his eyes. While employing the muscle breathing technique, he brought aura into his eyes.His pupils dilated as he concentrated.Almost a hundred feet away, seven figures were dashing ahead while traveling on tree branches.They were completely cloaked in black from head to toe and were hard to spot in the darkness, but Gunnar’s eyes barely managed to spot them.He slowly got up to his feet.The one leading the seven masked men raised his hand, and everyone stopped on different trees. They all had numbers on their foreheads from one to seven, with one given to the leader.Their eyes were on Gunnar.“That boy…” one of the guys said. “Is he the rejuvenated master that
