Chapter 83: The Bloody Hand Boss

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Old Hank?”

This was the name of the previous owner of the blacksmith shop, from whom Levi had rented it.

“No wonder this old fellow stopped operating and the rent is so low. It’s because of these people that he can’t continue operating.”

Levi’s heart skipped a beat. The outer urban area was too chaotic. The gangs were in power, and the security officers of the Holy City did not care much.

In fact, the city was in chaos.

On one hand, they didn’t have the ability to interfere. On the other hand, they probably didn’t want to interfere.

They could only let the low-class people in the outer city continue to fall into meaningless internal strife. In the midst of internal strife, they would be constantly troubled by all kinds of small conflicts and be bullied by superficial enemies, such as gangs.

Only by keeping these commoners, who made up the majority of the population in the Holy City, ignorant and exhausted, could the upper class of the middle city and the Heavenly Dragon Tribe in the inner city better control this city and even this country.

Compared to the city that Levi lived in, the outer city was really chaotic and smelly.

Along the way, Levi had already seen several waves of gang fights and demands of protection fees in the streets and alleys.

He did not expect to encounter such a thing when he just arrived. He was really unlucky.

“I’m the new tenant here. You should go to Old Hank for the protection fee instead. I’ve already paid the rent.” Levi said in slightly broken Tuva.

After this period of practice, he had almost mastered the basics of the Tuva language.

“Huh? A foreigner?” The scarred man sneered, but he didn’t care too much. The outer urban area was mixed with people from all over the place.

Every day, there would be many different kinds of stowaways, eager to integrate into this Dreamchaser City.

Many of the members of the Bloody Hand Gang were foreigners.

“I don’t care if you’re a tenant or not. This alley is our Bloody Hand Gang’s territory. If you operate here, you have to pay protection fees.”

“Protection fee, hurry up.” The scarred man clenched his fists and looked at Levi with ill intentions.

His lackeys also surrounded him.

They didn’t look like they were easy to deal with.

To be honest, Levi was too lazy to kill these gangsters who were not even Knights. There was no sense of accomplishment in killing them, and they would not drop anything good.

Therefore, Levi was calm and composed as he watched these people clamor.

This was the Holy City.

It was broad daylight, and there were so many people watching. There was no need to expose himself.

Levi noticed that the doors of the neighbors were all tightly shut, and some people were carefully looking at him through the cracks in the door.

He silently took out ten Tuva silver coins and handed them to the scarred man.

Unexpectedly, the scarred man sent the silver coins flying. The silver coins scattered on the ground and spun around.

“Silver coins? Foreigner, you might have some misunderstanding about our Bloody Hand Gang.”

“Are you trying to fool a beggar? Don’t think that we’re afraid of you because you’re strong. Our leader, Boss Bloody Hand, is a proper knight.”

“Do you know the rules here?”

When the scarred man mentioned his gang leader, his saliva flew everywhere.

He seemed proud to have a knight backing him up.

“I’m sorry. How much do you think I should pay? I’m new here, so I really don’t know the rules here.”Levi’s expression did not change as he asked with a smile.

He thought that ten silver coins were a lot. After all, the monthly rent of this blacksmith shop was only one gold coin.

He did not expect that this group of hooligans would actually look down on him.

“I see that you are indeed new here, so I won’t argue with you. How about this, one gold coin, and we will guarantee that your blacksmith shop will be safe for the next month.”

The scarred man said.

Levi hesitated for a moment, then quietly took out a gold coin and handed it to the scarred man.

He picked up the silver coins on the ground under the satisfied look of the scarred man.

The scarred man was already prepared to teach this foreigner a lesson, but he did not expect the other party to be so tactful.

With the backing of the underground king of this street, Boss Bloody Hand, what was he afraid of?

“Guys, let’s go.”

“What are you looking at? Hurry up and earn money. If you can’t pay the protection fee next month, you won’t be able to withstand Boss Bloody Hand’s

anger.”

The people who were peeking through their doors and windows all retracted their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Everyone on this street knew how terrifying Boss Bloody Hand was.

The reason why he was called Bloody Hand was that he had once torn apart several people from the enemy gang with his bare hands.

Levi looked at the scarred man who was walking further and further away. He found an empty corner, changed his body shape, changed his clothes, and quietly followed him.

He found the Bloody Hand Gang’s base, a run-down winery.

After memorizing the location, Levi left the place and returned to the Blacksmith Shop to start forging.

He was not in a hurry to make a move.

After wiping out the Bloody Hand Gang, there would be all kinds of gangs that would immediately occupy this street. The protection fees that had to be paid would still be unavoidable.

Levi was not here to clean up the dark forces and maintain order in the outer city.

For these gangs to be so arrogant, they must have something to do with the nobles in the middle city and even the higher-ups in the inner city.

Now that his goal had not been achieved, it was better not to cause trouble.

However, he had to take revenge for this. He had to settle the score.

He would only make his move when he had completed his goal and was ready to leave.

It was still the same sentence, “It’s not time for the settlement yet.”

Next, the blacksmith shop that had not been open for a long time began to operate again.

Levi had smithed some normal-grade equipment and placed them inside the store to fool the others.

He spent a few more days to forge a set of armor that was mixed with a little mithril.

This set of armor was a master-level piece of work, and Levi had fused it with Mithril. Its defense was not inferior to the Dragon Armor he was wearing, but it was not as light and agile as the Dragon Armor.

He planned to sell it at the Shining Auction for a good price.

No matter how good a longsword was, it could only earn pocket money. The truly valuable thing was the armor.

In the middle of the urban area, there was a small tavern with a dim yellow color.

A man wearing a golden mask slowly walked over.

After showing his membership certificate, Levi successfully entered the Shining Tavern.

“You must be Master Tyra.” The staff of the tavern immediately came up to him.

“That’s right. I need to sell an armor.” After saying that, Levi threw the armor he brought on the ground.

“It’s called Silver Scale, a piece of mithril armor made of refined iron, fused with half a catty of mithril, it’s absolutely my most outstanding work in recent years, I hope your tavern can give me a good price for an auction,” Levi said in a low voice.

“Don’t worry, Master Tyra. Our auctioneers have all been professionally trained. They will definitely satisfy you.” Then, they took the armor to be appraised. Levi believed that this armor should be worth more than 200 Tuva gold coins. After all, the cost of the mithril alone was tens of gold coins.

The auction of a mithril armor forged by a legendary craftsman needed to be warmed up. It was estimated that the news would spread to the ears of the nobles and knights in the Holy City through the many members of the Shining While waiting for the auction, Levi strolled around the Bounty Assignment Area of the Shining Tavern. Perhaps he could find everything that was not available in Icewind City here.

After all, this was a branch that relied on the Holy City of Lantis. It was one of the largest branches of the Shining Tavern. It was said that the person guarding this place was also a Grand Knight.

As usual, Levi placed the few items he needed in the Shining Tavern. After walking around, he found that there were breathing techniques for sale. However, the Turbellarian Egg and the other two casting materials were still not available.

In the end, Levi left the Shining Tavern happily with a Basic Bloodline Breathing Technique that he had bought for 30 gold coins.

The name of this breathing technique was called [Azure Falcon Breathing Technique].

This should be the breathing technique of the Green Falcon knight who was trampled to death by the Earthly Dragon Beast.

At that time, Levi didn’t manage to find it, but he didn’t expect to find one in a foreign country’s Shining Tavern.

This breathing technique had twenty-five miniature figures.

It should be the highest grade among the shallow grade, second only to the highest grade like the Man-Faced Spider.

According to Levi’s speculation, he should be able to cultivate to level 5..
