Lei Wen walked in and swept the entire room with a presumptuous gaze, his eyes seeming to say he was the king looking down on everyone. The feeling of being seen through with just one glance made anyone feel uncomfortable.

  Actually, Raven is a bit wronged. In his subconscious mind, he still thinks of himself as the god-level assassin at the peak of players. Raven, who was used to being respectfully called Raven Brother every time he entered the Adventurers Guild, hadnt fully adjusted yet.

  If the master of this gaze was a law enforcement officer, a high-ranking strongman or a noble, it would be slightly better. But unfortunately, there is a face that is pleasing to the eye and has a handsome appearance, but Ravens outfit is too shabby and too discordant.

  A coarse hemp garment that only ordinary people wear, covered in stains. The entire body has only one piece of armor that was once worth some money, a pair of flying dragon skin gauntlets, but unfortunately the key parts are all worn out and almost not even decorative. On his feet is a pair of boots that were obviously stripped from who-knows-which corpse, feeling a bit too small. On his back is a moderate-sized package.

  If it werent for the mismatched dagger and short sword at his waist, anyone would have thought he was just a common thief from the slums who had some agility and aspired to become an adventurer.

  In fact, most of the wanderers are from this origin, unfortunately, the vast majority of them hang in the first adventure mission.

  If it were a few days ago, no one would have looked at him straight. After the wanted notice for the Black Scorch Church was issued, all the adventurers near the Golden City had eyes redder than rabbits, frantically searching for every clue about the Black Scorch Church. Any unfamiliar face could provoke their reaction, and some poor children from the slums would come to report the whereabouts of the Black Scorch disciples to collect the reward.

  It was clear that a big fellow had taken Raven for one of them, his massive body suddenly blocking Ravens path, the crudely crafted half-leather armor emitting a foul odor.

  "Hey, youre still a young whippersnapper who hasnt even weaned off milk, and yet your gaze is so fierce! Kids who havent been taught a lesson always have this kind of look in their eyes. No worries, depending on how you behave, itll be decided whether you get a beating and spill the beans or obediently hand over the information. Maybe if Im in a good mood, I might even reward you with a piece of white bread."

  Leiwen smiled in his heart, and indeed it came - the adventurers trial.

  Lei Wen didnt answer and quietly stepped aside to let him pass.

  The big man did not let Raven go, took a step forward and blocked Raven again.

  As adventurers, they might be teammates, but more likely rivals. Moreover, this guy doesnt even consider Raven as an adventurer.

  "Hey kid, first time here? Let me tell you what the rules are around here!"

  The big guy waved his right hand, and a giant palm that rivaled a bears claw pressed down on him. A fierce gust of wind whizzed through his fingers, making a faint whistling sound.

  To be honest, Raven didnt want to look at this idiot anymore. But thats what adventurers are like, if you cant control the scene then just wait for a group of people to come and crap all over your head.

  Leiwens head leaned slightly to the left, narrowly avoiding that big fluffy hand by a hairs breadth, and slipped ghostly along the right side of the giant to his back.

  To others, Ravens movements seemed slow, even a bit like an old lady crossing the street with a cane, yet his movements had a strange rhythmic feel to them.

  Neither too fast nor too slow, it just entered the blind spot of the big guys line of sight.

  Under the gaze of all onlookers, Raven pulled out a length of rope and tied a living knot in the shape of a butterfly, lightly slipping it over the big mans neck from behind while simultaneously tossing the rope over the horizontal beam above his head...

  "Wow—"

  The big guy didnt understand what was happening at all, and he was hanged. He thought it was an ordinary rope, and he hastily pulled out a dagger to try to cut the rope, but unexpectedly, when his hand was halfway up, the rope tightened again, and a strong dizziness rushed over him, easily swallowing his consciousness. The dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

  Things happened too fast, from Raven flashing a giant bear palm to Giant losing consciousness only took three seconds.

  At this time, several companions of the big man finally came to their senses and drew their swords, ready to pounce.

  "Halt!" The apparent leader of the group shouted to calm down the others: "Fools! Cant you see that the other party hasnt even moved their dagger?"

  The guy who had just been blinded by his own fervor only now realized that Raven hadnt even moved his weapon, but was simply standing with his arms crossed and one foot on the rope, smiling coldly. His gaze towards them was like a fierce beast staring at newborn lambs.

  "Sir! Im terribly sorry, it was Patrick who offended you, please forgive Patricks rudeness." That head was very accommodating and even presented a purse directly.

  "Head!" The people next to him were anxious.

  But they were stopped by the leader with just one glance.

  The crisp clinking of coins, Raven knew at a glance that there wouldnt be less than 20 gold coins inside. This was already a huge sum for the lowest-level adventurer teams.

  If it were a day earlier, Raven might have just laughed and accepted it.

  Now?

  Look - Not - On

  Suddenly, a foul smell came from above, and that big guy had urinated...

  When he smelled that smell, Raven completely lost his desire to stand up straight, and with a relaxed hand, the big guys huge body crashed down, covering his throat on the floor making a sound like a bellows. He didnt even take the adventurers head money, but walked past him, lightly leaving behind a sentence: "There wont be a second time."

  Leaving him stunned on the spot, his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

  It wasnt just him, all the adventurers who witnessed this scene took a cold breath.

  This scene was too shocking, even if the noose wasnt around their own necks, adventurers recalled afterwards that if this were to be used on themselves, they would have been completely unable to resist. The feeling of being face-to-face with death was hair-raising.

  If this kid had used a dagger instead of a rope, one blow would have ended the conflict.

  Without exerting the slightest extra effort, the flowing movements, coupled with dazzling rope skills, made onlookers almost suspect that they were witnessing a legendary wanderer.

  No matter how they sensed it, the kid in front of them was nothing but a Black Iron rank aura. However, the foul smell wafting around them proved that this was absolutely not an illusion.

  This eerie sense of dissonance made their scalps tingle.

  Unconsciously, the crowd made way for Raven.

  Lei Wengang walked away first and didnt even give them a second glance.

  Under the gaze of the crowd, Raven arrived at the counter responsible for issuing bounty rewards, where he was greeted by a young girl.

  "Your Honor, I apologize, but this window is currently prioritizing the Black Scorch Churchs bounty. If you..." She trailed off as she saw the large stack of blackened tattooed human skin in Ravens open package.

  The blood had long since coagulated, and even though Raven had already roughly washed it once, the bloody smell still came rushing up.

  The bloody scene paired with Ravens handsome face and faint smile made the girl almost think that the person standing in front of her was a high-ranking blood clan member.

  No longer underestimating him, she hastily counted the spoils of war with Raven, and then, in everyones sight, she took down the wanted poster for the Black Eclipse Church.

  The adventurers in the distance suddenly cheered.

  "Whats going on!? Didnt they say that the passage was blocked and it was impossible to pursue the main sacrificial procession? Why did they suddenly withdraw the reward?"

  Finally managing to quiet down the boisterous adventurers, the young lady loudly announced: "Sorry! The bounty for the Black Sun Cult has already been completed. The one who completed it is...". The young lady suddenly realized that she still didnt know the other persons name until now.

  Lei Wen smiled and reported his own name: "Lei Wen."

  "The completer is Raven."

  The astonishing waves spread rapidly in all directions, and almost all the adventurers were staring at this frail young man. If it werent for the scene at the entrance, someone might have already come to find trouble with Raven.

  In the distance, someone gazed at Raven while secretly asking a fully armored warrior beside him: "Fili, want to try finding someone?"

  The warrior known as Phils shook his head: "Give up. Even if I were to face him head-on, I wouldnt be confident that I wouldnt be killed by him."

  "What! Youre a level 32 Bronze Rank expert!" The man was shocked.

  The warrior smiled wryly: "Maybe my level is higher, but the gap in combat experience is too great. Have you noticed? That half-elf Raven looks very young, no more than fifteen years old, but nobody knows how much elven blood he has. If his elven blood concentration is high, its possible that his travels have been longer than our grandfathers age. Look at his eyes, not a hint of childishness, with an air of stability that doesnt match his age. It seems casual, but the distance between his hand and weapon is always well maintained. This unconscious behavior can only be cultivated through countless life-and-death experiences."

  The first person was completely speechless.

  "I dont know if hes injured or what, but his breathing is so weak. However, professional drifters are always good at hiding their breath. Anyway, I wont be able to mess with this guy. Oh, and when he first entered, his eyes scanned my legs..."

  This was utterly astonishing, the first persons face turned a shade of green and red. Felix had been pierced through the leg by a goblin with a long spear when he was young, the wound had healed long ago, but only those closest to him knew that his left leg was still slightly inconvenient.

  But that kid saw right through it!？

  No matter how suspicious or jealous those around him were, the reward of over 2,000 gold coins was laid out in front of Raven.
