Chapter 403: The First Destination
Trantor: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost
The one standing together with the policemen was a director of the Adis Business Group at this inn.
"All the guests living here are warriors who were recruited recently by the Adis Business Group to deal with the iron-teeth hyenas on Grey Hill, nobody would care about a LV 8 or LV 9 suspect at all." As the director apanied the policemen to investigate the guests one by another, he kept exining something to the policemen. When he passed by Zhang Tie, the director nced at him, "Hoy, your room is No. 4 on the 2nd floor. Don’t run around after supper. The business group will distribute your equipment to you after supper. If you don’t get the proper weapon, don’tin about others!"
"Who’s he?" A policeman nced over at Zhang Tie before he looked at the arrest order in his hand. Zhang Tie still looked a bit simr to the pioneer Peter Hamplester. Thankfully, Zhang Tie had changed his hairstyle and the color of his hair in a short period of time. Additionally, he was a free warrior instead of that pioneer. Therefore, the difference between his current look and that image on the arrest order was greater than the simrities.
That policeman also looked a bit confused.
"He’s Hoy, a LV 4 warrior recruited by our business group." The director of the Adis Business Group at the inn exined. Even he had noticed the order for arrest, he still didn’t connect Zhang Tie who was going to Grey Hill to make money with the guy who was wanted with a reward of 1050 gold coins. "There are some more people upstairs, I will take you there."
That police nced over Zhang Tie’s face once again before he followed the director upstairs.
Although Zhang Tie pretended to be calm, he still nced at that order for arrest in the policemen’s hands out of curiosity. At the same time, his heart raced. It was really out of Zhang Tie’s wildest imagination that he could get into such trouble the moment he arrived at this ce.
If what he did to that guy in the alley was seen by someone by chance, it wasn’t strange for him to be a wanted man. Although the alley looked hidden, there were buildings on its two sides. Therefore, Zhang Tie was not sure whether someone had witnessed what happened from afar through the windows. If this truly happened, the witness might have reported this to the police.
’However, the name Peter Hamplester is on the arrest order, which indicates that the one who reported this to the police was nobody else but a member of Demon Snake Ind in Eschyle City. Only these people know my previous name and what I’ve done. Additionally, it must be two people that followed me instead of one. The second spy must have followed the first one out view.
Since they couldn’t find me themselves, theckeys of Demon Snake Ind finally chose to look for me with the power of the police after judging the current situation.
Based on the image on the arrest order, it indicates that theckeys of Demon Snake Ind have not figured out my true look. At least for now. However, this situation is temporary. Even theckeys of Demon Snake Ind don’t have my photo at the present, they still have many ways such as inviting a professional artist to fix my image precisely based on others descriptions.
If they dispatch someone to kill me, they must know how I look. As I’ve already met one guy from Demon Snake Ind in Bluesea Castle, it’s very simple for that guy to describe my image. Being limited tomunication means in this age, although Demon Snake Ind could not pass my image here now, they could change the current situation in a couple of days.’
Zhang Tie analyzed his current situation calmly and clearly before finallying to the conclusion, ’I have to leave Eschyle City right now. If I stay here, I might encounter the killers from Demon Snake Ind. Additionally, I have to escape from the police’s investigation, which would disrupt my n.’
Zhang Tie didn’t think that he was qualified to challenge the ruling orders of such a strange and powerful city despite being able to defeat most ofmon LV 9 fighters. Especially if he was taken advantage of by those b*stards from Magical Snake Ind, it would be a needless sacrifice.
’Thankfully, the Adis Business Group would organize them to leave Eschyle City tomorrow. I only need to stay here for half a day at most. It should be okay. If I set out tomorrow with the others, it would be less suspicious than leaving right now.’
As he considered it, Zhang Tie entered room No. 4 on the second floor without any concern.
Of course, the Adis Business Group only arranged those low-level warriors to live in tidy and clean rooms instead of any high-end rooms. In room No. 4, besides Zhang Tie, there were another five people, who were all low-level warriors recruited by the Adis Business Group whose ages varied from 20 to 30 years or so.
The moment Zhang Tie entered the room, he had smelt the stimtive odor of sweat and feet. Thankfully, born at the bottom of society in ckhot City, Zhang Tie had adapted to such a bad environment as he had experienced group living several times.
More than 80 low-level warriors recruited by the Adis Business Group these couple of days were living in the inn. As they would set out tomorrow, they all returned to the inn tonight, causing it to be very boisterous.
Zhang Tie only introduced his name to his partners in the room. He looked very indifferent while the others also replied him with a solemn look or a sinister smile. Therefore, Zhang Tie was soon pushed out by the other five people.
Zhang Tie only smiled inside as this was exactly what he needed. The moment he arrived at Grey Hill, he would leave the Adis Business Group as he didn’t want to bring his trouble and possible dangers to thesemoners who had nothing to do with him. Zhang Tie knew that these people only wanted to make a few gold coins and it was not necessary for them to be involved in his own business.
...
After supper, the Adis Business Group finally distributed the equipment to these temporary "mercenaries".
The alleged equipment was just a light leather armor and a great number of weapons.
Zhang Tie found that the leather armor was only made ofmon material covered with iron sheets. It was worth 70-80 silver coins at most. Although there were so many weapons, each of their value was almost as same as that of this light leather armor. They could be used to deal withmon wild beasts, however, their endurance and sharpness could not hurt fiercer animals. Huaiyuan Pce would not equip its troops with such weak weapons.
"Each one could have one set of high-quality leather armor. Additionally, each of you could choose one quality weapon. These are from the Adis Business Group. When you arrive at the Grey Hill, anyone among you could kill 50 iron-teeth hyenas would have this set of leather armor and the weapon that he has chosen as his best reward!"
"Finally, those who perform excellently among you will have the chance to join the armored guards of the Adis Business Group and be a member of the Adis Business Group officially. Therefore, please don’t just take this task as a job. Instead, you should treat it as an opportunity to change your destiny. As long as you have the chance to be a member of the armored guards of the Adis Business Group, you will gain a better training and a higherpensation. Besides that, you will have a higher social position. You will not be a small figure anymore. You will be a member of the Adis Business Group."
When they distributed weapons, the director of the Adis Business Group boosted their morale while standing on the freight car being loaded with weapons. Hearing that they could choose weapons freely, a great number of people surged forward at once.
Everybody rushed towards the heaviest and most valuable weapons. As a result, Zhang Tie was pushed aside. Finally, Zhang Tie only chose amon long spear.
Early the next morning, Zhang Tie left Eschyle City together with the other warriors who were recruited by the Adis Business Group in leather armor with a long javelin in hand.
Seeing the truck exiting the city gate, Zhang Tie finally let out a sigh inside.
The truck kept moving towards the north. After 5-6 hours, it arrived in a small town at noon. The road in front was so poor that wheeled vehicles could not pass. Therefore, after a simple lunch, they started to head north on foot. When most of them could not hold their breath, a grey horizon finally appeared in front of them.
’Here’s the Grey Hill...’
Zhang Tie finally let out a sigh. Watching the grey horizon, Zhang Tie was a bit excited about seeing so many seven-strength fruits from the iron-teeth hyenas. ’After traveling tens of thousands of miles since I left Huaiyuan Prefecture, I finally arrive at the first destination...
That evening, everybody just camped in the wild.
Early the next morning, when the director of the Adis Business Group organized this new force to start hunting for iron-teeth hyenas, he couldn’t find Hoy. However, his leather armor and weapon were lying tidily in his tent. Besides, there was a brief note under a gold coin.
Thanks for the kind treatment of the Adis Business Group, this gold coin is for my lodging and travel fee.
Reading this note, the director of Adis Business Group scratched his head out of confusion...
On the same morning, Dawson, the fighter from Demon Snake Ind disembarked. After taking a deep breath, he grinned, exposing the gold-capped teeth all over his mouth.
