Chapter 197 The Bald Man
A Day later.
The Jie Ming Town was almost clear of Five-Clawed Rats at this point.
Lucas and Lucia battled hard, their eyes showing their determination to surpass Davis.
They fought and killed the beasts which came their way without taking much rest, and when their energy depleted, they consumed pills of high quality, returning to slaughter.
In a mere day, Lucas and Lucia killed about 1000 Five-Clawed Rats by working together, plus taking advantage of the other two groups hunting around, they sometimes stealthily managed to clear hundreds of the Five-Clawed Rats.
Above the ground, they both looked haggard and tires as if they came from a battlefield, looking to rest.
"I can feel it... I'll soon break into the Body Transformation Stage..." Lucas slowly muttered as he inspected his cultivation.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
"Yes! Congratulations Elder Brother! I knew you would soon surpass the bottleneck!" Lucia joyously shouted, incomparably happy for her elder brother.
Except for her face which glowed from the happiness, her clothes were coated in rat blood which gave off a wretched stench.
"Haha, thank you, Lucia, but before that, we must take a bath. If father or mother saw you like this, they would surely ground you at home..." He joked smilingly.
Lucia's little nose moved cutely before she flinched, "Eww... Just splash me with your water technique and be done with it..."
Lucas smiled with an awkward expression on his face, "Alright..."
A while later, they both looked clean enough that no one would discern that they went through a rough battle before with the Five-Clawed Rats.
"Woah... That was nerve-wracking..." Lucas muttered as he rubbed his chin.
"I didn't realize before but with the just the two of us... We truly feared them just now..." Lucia placed a hand on her budding bosom and said, a little fearful.
They then looked at each other and smiled while they suddenly felt that Davis's words were accurate. They wouldn't be able to survive alone in the underground tunnel.
The two of them were always accompanied by Captain Gyrus and a few other protectors, so they never felt the fear of death before.
This time, with no one being here to protect them, they felt fear and acted cautiously, covering each other's shortcomings.
If both Daniuis and Su Hualing saw this, they would be incredibly proud.
...
"Boss, are you sure we should carry on with this mission? Shouldn't we use this opportunity to capture them and please our true leader?" A lackey with curious but greedy eyes, suddenly asked when they were on the way to the underground tunnel.
"You fool, just look at them being fearless of us. Do you think that they truly came here without protectors?" The bald man coldly berated as he asked, a cold glint flashing past his eyes.
"But... but it didn't look like it." The lackey was taken aback.
The bald man knocked his head and said, "Idiot! Leader Jawan said that Captain Gyrus follows them wherever they go! I'm sure he's just hiding somewhere nearby... So curb that urge right now!"
"Ouch... I understand boss!"
'Besides it isn't time yet. Our 'Leader' is close to breaking through the Law Dominion Stage and that is the time we will take over the Cloud Spring Mercenaries and establish an Empire!' The bald man thought while a sinister smile became apparent on his face.
Nobody knew that he was the son of Jawan. When he joined the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, he disguised himself, even going far as to make sure that he looked like a bald and look menacing, almost like a wild barbarian.
Why did he have to do all this? Because he was weak all along and if known to Daniuis, could jeopardize his father's plans.
His eyes silently revealed a lusty and ambitious gaze, 'Just you wait Daniuis! I'll have all your sons crippled and killed, and your daughters between my legs!'
