Chapter Sixteen Departure
Everyone, Potato here was dizzy again yesterday, it's really frustrating, but the update is still delivered on time, hehe, the recommendations and collections in your hands, give two votes to Potato, now it seems to have dropped from third to sixth... pitiful.
When everyone was wolfing down their breakfast, Kens rushed back.
"What's up? Captain." Sharp-eyed Bardas caught sight of Kens entering the door, swallowed hard and shouted in a strained voice.
Kensley ignored the dwarf, his face solemn, and placed the task scroll on the table, furrowing his brow: "This task is indeed a bit strange, a C-level task that actually hired three B-level mercenary groups."
"Oh?" Liu Feng's sword-like eyebrows rose, "Who issued this task?"
"It's from Joaquin's trade guild," said Kens with a frown.
"Oh? The Huajin Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major merchant guilds on the continent?" Liu Feng was taken aback. If it were indeed a task released by the Huajin Chamber of Commerce, then there must be some issues with it. Because the Huajin Chamber of Commerce usually only dealt with larger businesses, and small transportation escort tasks like this one were not something they would normally bother with.
But this time it actually made sense, there must be something strange about it.
"Squad leader, do you know when the transport team will set out?" Liu Feng asked, looking at the mission scroll on the table with a puzzled expression.
"Let's go later, those three mercenary groups are already gathering now." Kens walked to the side of the chair and sat down with a plop.
"Oh." Liu Feng nodded and smiled at Badas: "Go pack your things quickly, we'll be leaving soon too."
"Alright." Badas grinned and ran off excitedly towards the back, disappearing around the corner in an instant.
"Hehe, Captain, don't worry, I'll bring them all back without a single one missing." Turning his head, Liu Feng saw Kens' worried face and comforted him with a gentle smile.
"Ah. Never mind, I'll leave it to you then." Kensei had wanted to say something more, but in the end, he could only manage a single phrase of entreaty.
Liu Feng smiled and agreed.
"Don't worry, Captain, I've got everything under control."
When Liu Feng and his three companions arrived at the convoy, the area around it was already crowded with people.
Liu Feng led three people and finally squeezed in from the crowd with great effort.
He let out a heavy sigh, tossed the package to the dwarf behind him, and walked towards the chubby uncle who had been yelling at the front of the car with a smile.
"Hey, mister, who's in charge of this convoy?"
The fat uncle turned his head back, with a round face full of gentle smiles: "What? Little brother, is there something?"
"Oh, haha, I'm a member of the Blazing Mercenary Group. We've taken on the mission posted by your Chamber of Commerce." Liu Feng smiled lightly and pulled out the mission scroll from his chest.
"Huh?" The fat uncle was stunned, "I remember, the captain of the Blazing Mercenaries seems to be Kens? Hehe, he even bought a weapon from me last time, why didn't he come?"
"Captain, I was injured this time and couldn't come in person, so I could only let a few of us come." Liu Feng shrugged.
"Ah, there are just four of you?" The fat uncle asked hesitantly.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Is there a limit on the number of people or something?" Liu Feng furrowed his brow as he saw that expression, and asked aloud.
"No, there's no limit to the number of people, it's just... you're too few in number. When dealing with those three mercenary groups, don't provoke them, they have very bad tempers." The fat uncle said with a kind reminder, seeing that they were so few in number.
"Oh." Liu Feng's sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, and he smiled faintly, but didn't say a word.
Why provoke them? I'm afraid they will come to provoke us themselves eventually...
"Hey, kid, I'm leaving first. Those guys are coming, you all be careful." The chubby uncle who was chatting with a smile suddenly changed his face and ran hastily in the opposite direction, as if there were devils behind him.
Liu Feng smiled slightly, his sensitive ears had already heard the laughter and noise coming from behind him. They must be the troublemakers of that other fat uncle. However... you'd better pray not to provoke us, otherwise...
But heaven is not always benevolent.
"Hey, you few little brats in front, stop for your grandfather here. Which mercenary group are you from?"
A loud shout came from not far behind, pulling Liu Feng's footsteps back as he was about to leave.
"He sighed silently in his heart: 'Why... are there always so many people who like to seek death?' He turned around, coldly staring at the group of mercenaries getting closer and closer."
The leader of the group of mercenaries, a giant of a man wielding an enormous axe, was frozen by Liu Feng's icy stare, his heart skipping a beat as he took a step back, before stopping himself. A surge of shame and anger welled up from within him - how could he, who had been fighting on the edge of life and death for so many years, be intimidated by the gaze of an ordinary young man? If this got out, how would he still be able to hold his head high in the "Bloodthirsty Mercenary Group"?
The axe-wielding giant, his face red with rage, charged forward brandishing his massive axe and snarled: "You little punk, what are you staring at?"
Liu Feng's eyelids slightly drooped, and a cold glint flashed in his dark pupils. He said in a chilly voice, "Don't provoke someone you can't handle, or else it will drag your friends down with you."
The big man with an axe was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and became even angrier. "You little scoundrel, still pretending to be innocent with me? Today..."
Liu Feng's head jerked up, and a strange glow flashed in his dark pupils, staring the big man in front of him to death.
The axe-wielding giant's body shook, his heart skipped a beat, the hairs on his back stood on end, and his palms grew increasingly sweaty, as if the sweat seeping from his palms had moistened them.
"Are you calling me?" The cold tone spat out of Liu Feng's mouth.
"Ah. En... No. En." The big man with the axe stuttered a bit, but he quickly changed the subject: "Hehe, I saw that you guys are also mercenaries who took on this task, thought I'd come over and say hi, hehe, yeah, that's it."
Looking at the big Han who was laughing dryly, Liu Feng's mouth slightly curled up, "Oh, is that it? Can we leave now?"
The big man with an axe hurriedly shook his head: "Hehe, this brother really loves to joke, if you have something to do, just go."
Liu Feng nodded slightly and turned around to leave.
Leaving behind a somewhat embarrassed-looking big man, he remained in his original position.
"Heh heh, Brother Fei, what's wrong? Did that little brat provoke you? Do you want to go and teach him a lesson?" A sly-looking person sidled up, smiling fawningly.
"Damn it, get out! It's you bunch of bastards who are causing trouble. Shut up, or I'll report you to the squad leader and he'll skin you alive!" The big man with the axe was already fuming with anger, and now seeing this guy's detestable face made him feel like his temper was about to explode.
A burst of scolding, feeling somewhat relieved afterwards, only then did he stop his mouth, clear his throat, and walk away with a swagger, leaving behind a group of bewildered mercenaries.
Everyone, Potato here was dizzy again yesterday, really annoying. However, updates are still delivered on time, hehe, the recommendations and collections in your hands, give two votes to Potato, now it seems to have dropped from third to sixth... pitiful
The First Chaos in History (Book No. 174075) [Signed by Phantom Knight's Fourth Editorial Department] I'm really unlucky, really
Others can travel through time, but I can only be traveled through
Others can play with girls, but I can only be played by girls...
In my "nth" pawnshop, I received a series of customers named Jing Ke, Li Bai, Guan Yu, Qin Hui and so on, and a string of stories that made people laugh.
The book has a strong comedic atmosphere, with cultivation, time-travel, urban and romance elements all present. Hence the name "The Most Chaotic in History".
Haha, friend's book is really good!
