“A human?”That was the last soul everyone watching probably expected to come out of the 66th floor.“I-Is he the Nether King?”“T-The Nether King can’t be a human, right?”“Maybe he shapeshifted into a human to deceive us?”“That’s definitely possible.”“Let’s not lower our guards.”The top mages that had humans as well as woke animals among them were on full alert.Cerberus, on the other hand, didn’t recognize this human that just walked out through the door. It growled in a threatening manner.“Yo,” Myles waved his hand at Cerberus and kept walking, confusing the undead monster a little bit.Cerberus could very much tell that Myles wasn’t the Nether King, but… should it attack or should it not?A human had never come out through this door, so it seemed a little perplexed for a moment.Nevertheless, it had received no orders that it shouldn’t attack any human that would come out of the 66th floor, so it kicked the door shut and thrust its tail toward Myles from behind.“Watch out!”
Two weeks later.Kong and the twin sisters came out of the dungeon with a large power crystal in their hands, shocking the guards.“W-Where did you get your hands on a power crystal?”“Can you please tell us? We’ll pay you for the information.”The guards requested without any shame. Power crystals could be sold for great money, of course, but if they were to give one of these crystals to a high-ranking mage, they would be making acquaintances, which would later be of great help to them.Kong had a similar plan. He was thinking of giving it to one of the city council members so that they would consider making him a warden.It was extremely hard for one to directly become a warden, but as long as the mage rank was within top 2000, it was definitely possible.Kong joined the team of the twins, so his rank was also below 10,000, but it wouldn’t be enough for him to become even a vice warden, so he was planning to bribe a city council member with this rare power crystal.Kong and the twin
In the warden’s office, Don Saber just finished eating lunch and was licking his hands clean.A woke-dog rushed into his room. “Sir, that guy’s here.”“That guy? Doesn’t he have a name?” Don spoke with a temper.“T-The one who beat you the other day…” he folded his hands and humbly said. That human is here, sir.”Don’s eyes widened. “Bring him in. Now!”“Y-Yes, sir!”After the guard left, Don realized that his heart was beating fast. (Why’s he here? He didn’t come here to pick on me, did he?)Soon, Myles entered the room, and Don ended up standing before he knew it. “Please sit down,” he gestured.“I didn’t come here to have a chat,” Myles straightforwardly said. “First, I appreciate that you took the bounty off my head. Second, I want you to do me a small favor.”Don folded his arms across his chest. “I’m listening.”“I want you to get me a pass into the central prison.”Don’s heart skipped a beat. “That’s not small favor! W-Why do you want to go there? That’s a place even we wardens
Don went out to get an appointment for Myles to meet the city lord. He knew a council member, so he believed he could use their influence to get the appointment. That was the idea, though he wasn’t sure if it’d work out or not.Myles, meanwhile, didn’t return to Ria’s house. Instead, he went to Rockell’s house. Rockell was the rice mill owner who had given work to Myles for a day and paid him about 2000 dollars. More than that, he treated Myles well, so Myles wanted to return the favor.However, when Myles came home, he was shocked to see someone else living in the house.“Where’s Rockell and his family?” he asked the new resident who was a woke-coyote.“I don’t know. He’s sold his house to pay off his debts.”“Debts?”“You don’t know? When it stormed a couple weeks back, his warehouse was destroyed, and all the goods he stored there were spoiled. It was a huge loss for him. Most people would have committed suicide from suffering such a sudden loss, but he’s a strong ram. So, I’m sure
“Why did you want me to buy this Duck park of all places?” Kong asked the twins.“When we were exploring the dungeon in the past, we heard its previous owner saying that he buried his treasures here. Maybe if we look around, we might find them.”“If we really find a treasure, I’ll promise a long night for both of you,” Kong replied, making them both blush. Then he noticed a family of woke-sheep under a tree. “Hey, you!” he snapped his fingers. “Come here.”Rockell hurriedly came over by himself.“What are you doing here? Don’t you know this is a private park?” one of the twins yelled at Rockell.“I’m sorry, ma’am. I’ll leave now,” Rockell said, his posture loose and meek.“You’re not leaving without paying,” Kong blurted. “10,000 dollars. Pay that, and you can leave.”“T-Ten thousand dollars?” Rockell’s heart shook. “Even if I sell all of my wool, I wouldn’t be able to make that much money.”“Then sell your family’s wool, too,” one of the twins mockingly said, making Kong snicker.“Ye
On the same day.Rockell and his family not only returned to their old home, but they also came with enough money to pay off the remaining debt and build new warehouses. However, Rockell no longer wanted to continue in this grain storing business. He wanted to do some other businesses that were relatively safer.Myles had also given two power crystals to Rockell. One for increasing his physical strength, and another for future insurance. Since there was no way to safely hide the power crystal in his home, Rockell stored it in the bank’s locker.Every ward had its own branch of the central bank, and bank robberies were never successful because every manager was an alpha, and also every staff member was required to be a beta level mage. So, they could easily buy time for the authorities to show up in case some robbers raided the bank.At the same time, everyone in the Bull ward began talking about Kong and his twin teammates because they had found a treasure in the Duck park on the very
“You want to meet the city lord now?” The guards at the outer gate of the city tower spoke in a loud voice to intimidate Myles. “Just leave and come back in the morning, with the appointment letter.”Myles took the appointment letter out. “I already have an appointment letter.”“What? To meet him now?”“No. Tomorrow evening.”“Then why the fuck did you come here now?”“I can’t wait till tomorrow evening.”The guards gritted their teeth. They were both tough-looking woke-lions. “Are you fucking taking us for a joke? If you don’t leave out of our sight right now, we’ll beat your ass black and blue!” they growled.Normal people would have easily pissed their pants from seeing these guards who were both alpha mages, but Myles showed no expression in his face. The lack of expression in his face only annoyed the guards all the more.“If words won’t get to you,” one of the guards brought his claws out and swiftly swiped at Myles, with the intention to badly wound the person.Myles moved bac
“If you think you can stop me, you can give it a try,” Myles confidently stated.Rowl was absolutely astonished from hearing those words. Nobody ever spoke so impudently in Luke’s presence. Even the alphas that were in the top hundred mage rankings would think twice before uttering a word when Luke was around; however, this human that had appeared out of nowhere had the guy to directly provoke the strongest beast in the world? It would be weird if Rowl wasn’t baffled by what he was witnessing.(Is Lord Luke going to kill him?) Rowl grew anxious.“What an impudent youngster you are,” Luke growled through the darkness. “If you weren’t a human, your head would be rolling on the ground by now. But my city is a place where it can be proven that humans and woke-animals can coexist peacefully. So, if you kneel and ask for forgiveness for blaspheming against me, I’ll let you leave. Otherwise, I’ll send you to the same jail I sent my daughter.”Myles smiled. “That’d work for me. I can see your
