The Mage of Eternity

110  Buying and Selling

Outer Chaos City.

At the entrance.

Widow Wang sat in a carriage drawn by a yellow horse.

She had been waiting here for a long time.

Widow Wang had been doing this every day for half a month.

Today was slightly different from before.

Because Widow Wang's makeup was even more exquisite today, coupled with her increasingly tender face, it was very easy for them to be treated as father and daughter when standing next to Hanks.

Hanks was the only one who felt pity. Widow Wang stood next to him. Although they looked like father and daughter, she would not call him "Daddy".

As more and more wandering powers joined the outer chaos city, compared to a month ago, it was much more lively.

Not to mention anything else, since the orcs came here, the vendors who had already closed shop started setting up stalls in the old places.

During this month, a sentence had already spread throughout the city: "The current city lord of the outer chaos city is a vassal force of the desert orcs."

Therefore, they didn't have to worry about the Desert Orcs finding trouble with the vendors.

After all, they were now a family.

Not long after, a few figures appeared in the distant desert.

In the carriage, Widow Wang opened her eyes, a gratified expression on her face.

At the same time, her expression was a little strange as she cursed in her heart, "Bastard brat!"

.

"Little Old Master, why did you disguise yourself as my father?"

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see your father?"

"My father has been dead for decades. How can I be happy?"

"That's not important. Just tell me if I look like him or not."

"It doesn't seem like it. My father isn't that healthy."

"Hmm? Old thing, are you calling me black?!"

An Kai turned around and pretended to hit Hanks. In the desert, the darker the skin, the healthier one was.

Hanks quickly apologized and even rolled up his arms to compare with An Kai.

This was to prove that An Kai was much whiter than him.

Of course, Hanks also pretended to be careless and revealed some scars on his arm.

This was to show how difficult it was for him to travel to the seven countries.

How could An Kai not know what Hanks was thinking?

He just wanted more benefits.

"Since you're back, hurry up and exchange my magical Stones for me. Don't mess around. You won't be short of taxes in the future!"

23:25

be short of taxes in the future!"

"Hehehe, I believe that Little Master will definitely not forget me."

Hanks smiled and rolled down his sleeves.

Hanks looked at the entrance of the Chaos City and saw a familiar carriage.

"Little Master, what do you think of my outfit?"

An Kai was stunned at first, but then he looked at the entrance of the city and understood.

"How did you make her fall in love with you? Hanks, are you practising some kind of sorcery?"

Hanks scratched his head and said nothing.

He walked towards the carriage.

Watching Hanks leave, An Kai said unhappily, "Slow down, don't get too excited.

"You don't have many years to live. You better learn how to control yourself!"

After muttering a few words, An Kai walked into the city, ignoring Hanks and Widow Wang, who had reunited after a long time.

He had just obtained the wind blade technique and wanted to find a target in Outer Chaos City to test its power.

He didn't even consider leaving the city at first.

To be honest, it was Widow Wang's carriage at the city gate that made An Kai make this subconscious decision.

He wanted to find a target randomly, but when he saw Widow Wang's carriage, he suddenly remembered Hanks, who he had almost forgotten. He decided to leave the city to meet his old friend.

After this battle, An Kai had a new opinion of his strength.

Under the circumstances of a surprise attack, as long as he made the first move,[Wind Blade] and [Fireball] should be able to fight against someone at Stage 4 Rank 5.

Of course, this was if the Stage 4 Rank 5 was not a powerful abnormal profession.

When he passed by the people who were setting up stalls at the city gate, An Kai's eyes flickered as he thought about the upcoming operation.

"Mason, are those guys obedient?"

"Yes. There haven't been any unusual movements recently.

"However…"

"Speak!"

"Because we didn't touch them, the imprisoned guys became arrogant and thought that we didn't dare to touch them. Under the leadership of a guy, they started to refuse to cooperate with us."

Upon hearing what Mason said, An Kai thought of the 21 direct descendants of the seven countries that he had first captured.

"Not cooperating?" he laughed coldly. "It didn't matter. They wouldn't have the chance to cooperate anyway."

Hanks had returned, and An Kai was prepared to maximize the benefits of these captive descendants.

After that, he would deal with those self-proclaimed leaders and honoured guests in the city.

.

Hanks stood in front of the carriage cautiously.

Just as he was at a loss for words, Widow Wang's taunting voice came from the carriage."You old thing, what kind of righteous person are you? It's none of your business whether the residents are full or not!

"Why did you come back? Why don't you die outside? You're already so old, yet you're learning to be a hero?"

.

Widow Wang's mouth was like a machine gun. Taunting words came out one after another.

Hanks remained silent until Widow Wang paused. He scratched his head and said softly, "Ten percent of the tax."

"You sold yourself just for 10%? That bastard is treating you like a slave!"

"It's already quite a lot." Hanks corrected Widow Wang.

Then, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked softly, "He said that you have been here every day for the past half a month?"

"Bullshit! Do you believe what he said?

"I'm in a bad mood. It's my first time out today!"

"Hehehe. I believe you."

"Get in here and go home! I'm hot!"

"Alright!"

Hanks was old but strong. He looked old, but his legs were very agile. He jumped up and stood behind the yellow horse.

He waved his horsewhip.

The old Hanks drove the carriage pulled by the old yellow horse and rushed into the city.

Halfway there, Hanks suddenly said, "I have the final say tonight."

In the carriage, after a moment of silence, Widow Wang muttered softly, "Just this once."

.

At the entrance of Outer Chaos City.

Hanks had just entered the city.

Reid's group of four appeared. They watched the carriage leave them. Reid wailed, "He forgot about us again!"

"Then… Are we following them?"

"Are you crazy? That old thing will peel our skins if we follow them!"

"Then…Where are we going?"

Reid pondered for a moment. "Let's go find Polpi. That guy definitely won't mind us disturbing him!"

"Hey! Polpi has quite a few treasures."

.

The next day.

When Hanks arrived at the Evergreen Gang's base.

An Kai, Wayne, Mason, and the magical beast Nurnisius were gathered in the courtyard.

Because An Kai's strength had increased, he wanted to gain more understanding of Stage 4 adventurers.

Wayne, Mason, and Nurnesius, two people and one beast, were helping An Kai get to know the Stage Four professionals again.

Most of the time, it was Mason, the Stage 5 [Assassin], who spoke.

Wayne echoed from time to time, and Nurnisius interrupted from time to time, "Boss is awesome! Boss, you're a genius! Boss, you're different!"

Hanks came here, took a look, and then quietly stood aside, ready to listen to what he lacked.

Perhaps it was because they were mumbling, but An Kai seemed to be tired of listening. He casually asked, "Is a Stage 4 as strong as you?"

Stage 5 Assassin Mason was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and continued to explain, "Although I'm only at Stage 5 Rank 1, it's still very easy for me to deal with them. Stage 4..."

"Alright, alright, I got it." After An Kai heard that they were inferior to Mason, he waved his hand to signal that Mason did not have to continue.

"Is Stage 5 so weak?"

It seemed to be in a low voice, but other than Wayne, who didn't have the strength to hear it clearly, the other two people and one beast heard it.

As a Stage 5 Assassin, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that no matter where he went in the desert and the surrounding seven countries, he would be a threat!

Only An Kai...

He never treated the Stage 5 adventurers seriously.

When An Kai was in a bad mood, Mason would be scolded for no reason, although it was not as much as Nurnesius.

But he was at Stage 5 Rank 1.

Mason blushed and did not know how to respond.

This made Hanks, who was standing at the side, laugh. If even a Stage 5 assassin was defeated by An Kai, then the defeat he had suffered before was nothing.

Hanks couldn't help but chuckle.

However, before Mason could respond to his laughter, Nurnisius retaliated.

"Still laughing? Haven't you realized that something is wrong after so many years?"

Hanks was stunned. He had a feeling that Nurnisius' next words were not good.

"In our dragon clan, after finding a female dragon, if you don't get pregnant for a year, you'll be defined as a dragon that doesn't have the ability to produce.

"Old thing, how many years you've been with that little girl? Have you given birth?"

Nurnisius grinned and finally said the words he had thought about for a long time to attack Hanks.

Hanks fell silent.

His silence was deafening, just like how Mason had heard An Kai say that he was weak.

"According to research, age is also related to this point. I once read some analysis that said that the older the man is..." Wayne was about to explain Nurnisius' question in a serious manner, but Hanks' expression was getting worse and worse. In the end, Hanks could not hold it in anymore. "Alright! Shut up!"

"Hmm? How can you speak to His Highness like that? Mind your attitude! Wanted criminal!"

Mason glared at Hanks without thinking.

Hanks understood that he was the one that everyone could bully.

Even that damned rat was humiliating him!

But...

Hanks heard what Nurniesius said.

"Sigh! Let it go. In our hometown, we usually need help with this kind of thing. If it doesn't work, just... Sigh!" An Kai patted Hanks' shoulder and comforted him, but it made Hanks even more worried.

"Alright, don't let your imagination run wild. Come with me. I have a business deal for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, An Kai turned and left.

Hanks, who was worried, followed behind An Kai.

Watching them leave, Nurnisius grinned happily.

To him, making Hanks suffer was his greatest pleasure. After all, Hanks was its competitor in a sense.

Hanks followed An Kai all the way to a cold room.

An Kai nodded, and Mason went forward to push open the door, exposing the people inside to the sunlight.

Standing in front of the door, An Kai was all smiles. Bathed in the sunlight, he looked like a saint who had saved people from suffering. He pointed at the guys in the room and chuckled.

"What do you think? We have here the direct descendants of the aristocratic forces of the seven countries!"
