Chapter 314: Chapter 259: Don’t Mess With Him
“`
“The fugitive is dead; three hostages were found on board along with a small box of silver coins, about a thousand in total. The purpose of the transaction is still unclear, and two items were found on the body of the fugitive,”
[Lightweight Boots][Fish Scale Armor].
One to increase movement speed and the other to increase magic defense.
Wu Heng nodded without taking them, saying directly, “Let’s go, we’ll take these items to the association first, and talk about the rest tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
The Short people simply docked the boat at the pier.
Then, leading several scantily-clad girls and the rest of the spoils, they started walking towards the association.
After arranging everything adequately,
Wu Heng, along with Andre Willow, returned to their residence.
…
The night grew deeper.
Upon opening the door, Mini immediately came up, rubbing her eyes.
“Master, Wei’er sister, you’re back!”
Wu Heng pinched her cheek, “No need to wait for us.”
“Otherwise, I have nothing to do but wait for you to come back,” Mini said.
Wu Heng, carrying her in a half-circle, praised her, “Such a good girl!”
“Hehe! I’ll go warm the food for you.” Saying this, Mini ran towards the kitchen.
After a simple meal,
They went to bed to rest.
…
The next day,
Heading to the association.
Upon entering the hall, they overheard some idling professionals discussing the matter of the Shark Teeth Group.
“Lieu is dead? Really? Is the news for real?”
“The Shark Teeth Group hasn’t docked for many years, and with Lieu’s Merfolk blood, no one at sea could catch him. How could he possibly be killed?”
“No mistake, the association has confirmed the death, they say it was team three that did it.”
“That Short person? He could drown in shallow water, how could he kill ‘Lieu’?”
The Shark Teeth Pirate Gang had been causing trouble in the archipelago for many years.
Due to their evil deeds, they had an infamous reputation.
They had countless enemies, yet there was never anyone who had managed to kill ‘Lieu’ at sea.
Even now, hearing that the team had killed the opponent,
They found it hard to believe.
However, just as several people were quietly arguing,
Some staff members of the association walked straight to the notice board in the association.
And tore down the reward notice for ‘Lieu’.
The arguing stopped abruptly.
“Lieu… is really dead?”
…
Wu Heng stood in front of the notice board eavesdropping for a while.
Once they had left, he also headed to the office room.
Andre Willow had been there for a while.
Seeing Wu Heng come in, she smiled, “Master, there’s nothing much today, you didn’t have to come so early.”
“Hmm, just came to take a look, I’ll leave in a while.”
Knock, knock, knock~!
The door to the room was knocked.
The Short person ‘Olin’ entered, followed by two human team members carrying a wooden chest.
They placed it heavily on the ground with a thud.
It seemed that all three had an unmistakable look of joy on their faces.
Apparently, last night’s pirate capture had delighted him,
As the entire association was discussing it.
“Thanks for the Vice-executive’s help last night,” Olin thanked again.
“Hmm, it’s nothing!”
Olin continued, “We made a detailed count of last night’s loot. A total of twelve hundred silver coins, two small ships, sold for 420 silver coins. We’ve calculated and brought over half to you.”
Normally, a team’s loot would be divided equally.
But a Vice-executive or Steward leading the team would usually take a bit more.
Last night, as Wu Heng himself had killed the fugitive while they handled the aftermath, they naturally had to follow this unwritten rule.
“Hmm, sit down and talk, no need to stand,” Wu Heng gestured for them to sit.
Andre Willow served tea to the three.
The Short person stroked his fiery beard and continued, “The fugitive’s bounty has not yet been issued. I’ll bring it to you when it is, and the two magic items, we’ll also give them to you.”
As one of them opened the chest, it revealed silver coins and two magic items.
[Lightweight Boots][Fish Scale Armor].
The effects provided by the items were both very practical, but the items were battered and worn out from the pirate’s use.
“`
I don’t need it, and even Wei’er and the others would look down on it.
Glancing over, he said, “I have no use for it. If any of you can make use of it, go ahead and divide it amongst yourselves!”
The dwarf thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll ask around and get you a good price for it, and bring it along with the bounty.”
“Alright!”
Wu Heng actually felt that this dwarf was quite personable.
And not as short-tempered as he had imagined.
Wu Heng continued, “How about those captives?”
“We’re still investigating. It seems to be tied to a case involving the trafficking of young girls from various races. I’ll report back to you once we have any results,” the dwarf continued.
“Hmm, alright.”
The few of them sat together and chatted for a while.
The dwarf introduced him to some of the local places of interest before taking his leave with his people.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
…
Upon exiting the door.
One of the human team members curiously said, “Captain, when did you become so cultured?”
The dwarf turned to look at the room they had come from.
He said, “Be polite to this guest and don’t provoke him in the future.”
“Captain, do you have information on him?”
Stroking his beard, the dwarf walked and said, “If you don’t want to become a skeleton, don’t ask questions.”
…
Wu Heng put away the silver coins that the dwarf had brought.
After sitting for a while, he left with Andre Willow.
Exiting the association.
Wu Heng headed to the Snake Badge Consortium, and Andre Willow went upstairs to find Mini and check out the newly decorated house.
Entering the consortium’s lobby.
The interior was still lavish and luxurious, with the counter area and notice board attracting a good number of people.
Apparently, the business here was much better than in Lundham City.
He walked straight to a staff member and presented the consortium’s emblem.
The staff member became even more respectful, “Dear guest, please come this way.”
He was led into a private resting room.
Pastries and tea were promptly served.
At the same time, a middle-aged man in a suit came in and bowed slightly, “Guest, how may I be of service to you?”
“I’d like to post several commissions.”
The man in this suit wasn’t a local manager like ‘Laisia,’ but someone with a slightly higher position, similar to that of a lobby manager.
“Guest, what type of commission do you need? I shall fill out the form for you.”
“I want to collect some high-level skill books from necromancers, as well as corpses of professionals above level 15, especially alchemist corpses above level 10, and rune master corpses above level 10,” Wu Heng stated plainly.
Upon hearing the need for corpses at level 15.
The man’s expression stiffened slightly.
Level 15, fourth-tier professionals were amongst the top individuals in any power structure.
And he was asking directly to buy corpses.
“Is there a difficulty?” Wu Heng inquired.
“There’s not exactly a difficulty, but it might be troublesome to collect, and I can’t guarantee the timeframe,” the man replied.
That wasn’t too much of an issue for Wu Heng.
“No problem, just proceed with the normal collection,” he said.
“Very well, guest, I’ll draft the commission for you,” the man replied.
The man began writing on the side.
Meanwhile, Wu Heng waited.
At this moment, he found himself missing ‘Laisia’ a bit, a beautiful, intellectual woman who occasionally offered him some advice.
Soon, the commission was ready.
“Guest, you need to pay a deposit of three thousand five hundred silver coins.”
The price had skyrocketed ridiculously.
Wu Heng took out the corresponding silver coins and handed them over to the man.
The man stamped the emblem on it, and the commission came into effect.
…
The next day.
Zombie World.
Wu Heng emerged from his room and opened the curtains to look outside.
Just as he came downstairs, Li Yahong received the news and came over directly.
“These past few days, I’ve been in contact with the Peace Zone, and there’s still no news about Xiao Xiao’s mother,” she said.
Wu Heng’s expression also turned serious.
“Set up a route. Let’s go over there and have a look,” he said.
