The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 96: The mayor's son

Views:

The speaker was a brown-haired boy who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as Regnar. But the arrogance between his eyebrows made him look like a nouveau riche in his forties or fifties.

"Master, what happened last time was between them, but you should be careful. These two are mercenaries and are very powerful." To the surprise of Regnar and Annelotte, the follower beside the young man turned out to be It's Mickey, the captain of the Gerhart Hunter Team.

"Hmph, they are just mercenaries. They are all low-class people who lick their blood and work hard for their lives. How dare they do anything to me?" the young man said nonchalantly.

"Young Master taught me a lesson." Mickey was as flattering as a dog with bones.

Regnar frowned after hearing the young man's words, but did not have an attack. This young man seemed to have some influence in Yorktown, and he did not want to offend anyone because of his temporary personal likes and dislikes. Of course he could just walk away, but Gerhardt's family might inevitably be implicated.

"Hello, Master. Goodbye, Master." Regnar said expressionlessly, and then gave Anne a wink, which meant don't cause trouble and leave quickly.

Annelotte didn't want anything unpleasant to happen on this ordinary and beautiful day, so she nodded and asked Minnie and Inelise to leave.

But the boy's eyes brightened up when he saw Annelotte, and then his eyes never left the girl. His eyes looked at Annelotte from head to toe, which made Annelotte frown, because the boy's eyes were like tongues, with a wet and disgusting feeling.

But Annelotte didn't have an attack. If she didn't really want to cause trouble today, the girl with her usual temper would probably freeze the person who offended her into ice pimples. Regnar can assure you that that feeling is absolutely uncomfortable. He has experienced it personally several times!

The young man looked at Annelotte blankly, and realized when the girl was about to leave the store. He shouted loudly: "Stop!"

Regnar turned his head helplessly. He was almost at the door, but he was still called. It seemed that there was no way to avoid this trouble today, but he still held on to the last glimmer of hope, so he asked patiently: "Master, what do you want to do?"

The young man took out ten gold coins from his pocket and stretched it out in front of Annelotte: "Ten gold coins, you come with me today, and I will let you back tomorrow."

The young man spoke with a matter-of-fact expression, and he deliberately emphasized the word "ten" as if it was a very large amount of property.

Indeed, for the townspeople of Yorktown, ten gold coins are almost equivalent to half a year's living expenses. Such a sum of money is enough for a person to spend a night with the most famous and beautiful prostitute in the town. But to Regnar and others, this is just the cost of a high-end banquet in a tavern.

In Regner's view, if someone puts money together with Annelotte, it would not only be an insult to this beautiful girl. It also touched his few negative scales, so when the young man took out the gold coin, Regnar knew that this incident would never be tolerated.

Annelotte looked at the boy calmly without saying a word. The girl knew that Regnar would settle everything for her next, so she didn't bother to care, and she didn't want to be angry for such an idiot - it was not worth it.

Regnar suddenly put on a smiling expression and said: "If you can easily take out ten gold coins, the young master must be no ordinary person. Please forgive me for my blindness, but I don't know the young master's surname?"

Seeing that Regnar had surrendered, the young man also had a complacent expression on his face. He said in a tone that an adult would not care about the villain, "Easy to say, Reed Moult, the son of Edwin Mourt."

Regnar looked at Minnie and Inelis with some confusion. Inelis was smart. She stood on tiptoes and said softly to Regnar: "Edwin Murt is our mayor. He is the son of our mayor. In the past two years, he has always bullied my sister and me, saying that he would take us back to be his little wives. If my brother hadn't been protecting us, my sister and I would have been miserable!"

"That's it..." Regnar thought about it for a moment and finally had a sense of proportion.

"Annie, take them two places to go somewhere else first. I'll be here in a minute." Regna didn't want the two innocent little girls to see the next scene.

Annelotte didn't refuse much. She nodded to Regnar, then pulled Minnie and Inelise away.

"Hey! You can't leave!" Reed yelled.

"Ah, dear Mr. Reed, what's so good about someone like her? I know a lot of people who are worse than her! Why don't you come with me? I guarantee you will be satisfied!" Regna stopped him quickly. Come down. But a chill ran down his back, and he didn't know if it was because Annelotte heard what he just said.

"Just you?" Reid looked suspicious: "What good stuff can you find? I've been to all the brothels in this town."

"Haha, um... we are newly opened." Regna said casually: "Look, I can have dinner with that woman, why can't I find someone better than her? Besides, what's the benefit of deceiving you?" To tell you the truth, although we are mercenaries, well... hehe, we also do other business nearby. You said that people like us will naturally not be short of good things, right? "

"Huh? That's true!" Reid's eyes lit up.

"Master..." Mickey was preparing to say something behind him. He knew that Regnar was most likely lying, so he was ready to persuade him.

"Shut up! A dog needs to know when to bark!" Reed yelled. He was busy discussing with Regnar, so he was naturally a little annoyed when Mickey interrupted him.

Mickey was shocked and didn't dare to say anything more.

After Regnar confirmed that Annelotte and the other three were gone, he also took Reed out of the snack shop. As a person with public ethics, Regnar would naturally not cause trouble in other people's stores and cause inconvenience to others.

He wandered around in the small alleys of the town and soon brought the two of them to a dark corner.

"Isn't it here yet?" Reid asked impatiently.

"arrive."

"Where are the people?"

"I'm the only one." Regnar turned his head. He no longer had the flattering expression before, but he still had a gentle smile on his face.

"Are you fucking looking for death?" Reed was furious at that time and was about to give Regnar a loud slap in the face.

But Regnar easily pinched his wrist, and then with a slight force, Reed's hand was dislocated.

"Ah!" Reed screamed like a pig.

Upon seeing this, Mickey wanted to come up to help, but after receiving a cold glare from Regnar, he did not step forward and instead took a few steps back in fear. He didn't expect Regnar to actually dare to take action.

"The son of a small town mayor is really arrogant." Regnar chuckled and said, "Is he very rich? Come and pick up this money."

Regnar took off the money bag from his waist and hit Reed with a slap in the face. The gold coins jingled all over the floor.

"You..." Reid's nose bled wildly after being hit by the money bag. He raised his head angrily and was about to say something, but the violent impact on the left side of his face made him swallow his next words.

Regnar moved his wrist and said, "When I don't ask you to speak, don't say a word. Otherwise, if you say a word, I will knock out one of your teeth."

Reed spat out a mouthful of blood, and there happened to be a big tooth in it.

"Now, pick up the gold coins. If one is missing, I will knock out one of your teeth." Regnar calmly ordered. This idiot who suddenly appeared ruined his rare good mood, so this time he also No more mercy.

The huge fear has overwhelmed Reed's reason. He groaned indistinctly, but did not dare to say a word, and crawled tremblingly on the ground looking for gold coins.

After a while, Reed finally picked up all the gold coins.

"Very good. Since you are so obedient, I will let you go this time. But before you leave, I think it is necessary to give you a vaccination." Regnar casually struck out with a palm, A clear palm print about one centimeter deep was left on the solid stone wall.

"My name is Regnar. I am a mercenary in Falling Star City. I live in the Brilliant Star Tavern. As long as you are prepared to be beaten, you can go to Falling Star City to find trouble with me. But... if you If you dare to offend others because of this, then be prepared to die! Are you clear?" Regnar threatened fiercely.

Reed nodded crazily. Regnar wouldn't let him speak. He really didn't dare to say a word.

"Okay, now tell me, where did the injury on your face come from?" Regnar patted Reed's injured left face with satisfaction.

"I was... no, I threw it myself." Reed quickly changed his words as soon as he spoke the first word.

"Who did you meet today?"

"No, I didn't meet anyone today. I was just walking around the street and accidentally fell, that's all." Reid said quickly.

"Very good, it seems you are not completely an idiot." Regnar patted his left cheek again: "Okay, I'm leaving. You are welcome to come to Meteor City to find me. Remember, it's the Brilliant Star Tavern. "

After finishing dealing with Reed, Regnar swaggered out of the alley, not caring that Reed was looking at him with fearful and hateful eyes.

"Master..." Only then did Mickey dare to come over.

Snapped! A loud slap hit Mickey's face.

"If you dare to tell me what happened today, I will skin you!" Reed said viciously.

"Yes, yes. I will never say it." Mickey quickly promised.

After seeing Regna walking away, Reed said, "Let's go!"

It didn't take long for Regnar to find Annelotte and the three of them in the town square. At that time, Annelotte really took the two little girls to buy kebabs. The two little girls became lively after getting to know Annelotte. They jumped around the girl and played in a group. Regnar even saw a long-lost smile on Annelotte's face.

"This kind of life is really good!" Regnar thought to himself, and then walked over with a smile.
