Chapter 142 Brother Lu, You Are A Savior

Not so long ago, when he met Bai Xun for the first time, Mark kept the peak strength potion ready to use at any time. He was so tense that he didn't even allow Supreme Commander to walk with him.

It was only after he entered the store, Mark relaxed back then. Now, it was the complete opposite.

With the Shimmerwood turtle and Pritsha-the Cannibal ready to be summoned from the Familiars inventory at any time, Mark felt any more comfortable.

"Well, that's to be expected. After all, no one in your battalion mastered the guns." Mark replied to Lei Jin who said that practicing with firearms is extremely difficult.

While chatting with Lei Jin on the way, Mark, who had put aside the single-shot firearms unlock, until now, started to make them so that he can make a deal with the Second Prince.

Since the sales weren't that great until now, Mark didn't introduce those new models into the store. He doesn't want the customers to be confused about choosing a wide variety of guns when most of them didn't even know the concept of a gun in the first place.

However, the second prince is different. Even if he was as clueless as others, he wanted to form a separate division for firearms. So, Mark wanted to introduce these varieties to him. They might be single shot but far better than the single-shot pistol.

This is the reason he agreed to the visit right away when the soldier requested him to come and visit their General.

While the other soldier named Zi Tian was left behind at the village to oversee everyone's packing their luggage, Lei Jin took Mark to the campsite.

The scene was similar to the past except that most of them are soldiers. Maybe, it's due to the fact that the dungeon is of lower rank, or maybe, it's because it is in a region where there is no major town or city located.

The reason doesn't matter to Mark. He doesn't intend to stay much longer either way.

As Lei Jin and Mark were walking towards their general's tent, a few soldiers who interacted with Mark, the last time, recognized him.

But, only one of them was bothered to greet him.

"Hello, Lei Jin… and you must be Owner Lu, right?" A soldier named Ye Liang greeted them with a smile on his face. He had a P-365, a ten-round semi-automatic pistol, hanging over his waist in some kind of leather pouch that vaguely resembles a holster.

"Are you a member of the firearms unit?" Mark asked right away as he glanced at the gun.

Ye Liang nodded while taking it out, "I was personally chosen by the general to be a part of the 20 member unit. I should say it's actually very useful in capturing the civilian-level thieves and street gangs, especially if they are running away.

Even at close strength, we don't need to worry about controlling our strength. All we need to focus on is our aim. Whoever made this, is a genius."

Mark just smiled in response while speaking in his head, "that genius is standing right in front of you."

But, that smile was short-lived as the holographic screen appeared before his eyes.

*Ding! The system is the weapon maker. The host is a weapon seller.

"I know that, okay…" Mark replied to the system before blurting out with a complaint, "Ah, that sassy system, it never fails to get on my nerves."

"Eh? What!" Both of the soldiers stared at him. They didn't understand his words properly.

Mark realized the mistake and just said to them, "Ah, I'm sorry. I was thinking about something else. Anyway, Lei Jin, let's get going."

He bowed slightly to Ye Liang and proceeded to walk forward.

Thankfully for him, just when they are about to reach the tent, the general himself stepped out along with a graceful-looking lady and her maid. His expression looked a bit stiff while the lady had a glow on her face.

It was then Mark's eyes met with Shang Wen.

He immediately left her and walked forward, calling out his name aloud with affection, "Brother Lu, what are you doing here?"

"Eh?" Mark was a bit surprised by how this biological half-sibling addressed him. The second prince's facial expression also seemed a bit exaggerated. It was as if he was looking at his long-lost brother.

Well, that is true in reality but the prince doesn't know it, so, Mark wondered why he was behaving this way. It's not like they were close or something. They only met two times. Is it because he killed the Cerberus and the second prince wanted to make friendship with him?

Mark immediately shook his head and threw that thought away for everyone in the Empire knew that the second prince isn't like that.

However, soon, he understood the reason.

Upon reaching Mark, the second prince grabbed him and slowly whispered, "Lu Zhen, please play along for a moment."

Mark's eyes then fell on the lady who suddenly furrowed her brows.

He realized it and played along as he was the master of making fake expressions. He widely smiled, "it's been a while, Brother Shang. I'm actually here for a very important business. It's very urgent."

"Is that so? Let's talk in the tent." Mark was personally escorted by the second prince, stupefying Lei Jin, and the surrounding soldiers who they never saw their General acted to someone this way. Since they were addressing each other as brothers, maybe, this new handsome guy is a close friend or maybe a childhood friend?

Of course, there are a couple of ladies around who usually fantasize about male-male relationships by reading those banned novels. Mark being handsome and delicate and their general being buffed and tough, messed up their imagination even more. The time of the day happened to be the evening after the dinner time added as a bonus.

However, there's one person who was in displeasure. It is the graceful-looking lady that was abandoned and ignored.
