chapter-214
Dough led Alex's squads toward the city and as expected, the road was filled with bandits trying to loot them.
If they would be a normal merchant, only god knows how many times they would have been raided.
Dough cleared the way for them and gave the excuse that these were all Lone Wolf troops and the carriage held their looted goods and no one tried to look for them after Dough's declaration.
Lone Wolf seemed to be quite a reputable name and their leader seemed to be at Transcendent rank.
Alex wanted his wives to stay back but all of them wanted to enter the place and their eyes were filled with enthusiasm as if they were going for a picnic.Even Alice, who seemed to have passed through this place quite often, was jumping up and down to tour this place as if this place was a cultural hub.
Alex stared at the place which looked like old Nevan except the street was filled with all kinds of people.
"Boss, be careful. These people may look poor and weak but they don't underestimate them." Dough advised Alex and others.
"Marvellous sword for 80 silvers."
"Take this protection locket for 10 silvers."
"Strong shield at the price of 50 silvers."
The street was filled with hawkers selling all kinds of things.Most of the things seemed to be fake and the people tried to sell things when most of them weren't even worth a penny.
Alex searched if there was anything useful as he remembered that wuxia protagonists usually find life-changing things here.
But regretfully Alex didn't find anything so without wasting any time, Alex asked Dough to take them to their boss.
"Do you want to meet him?" Dough asked with a curious gaze.
He should be happy about this as he was thinking of a way to gain his revenge , if he could take him to his base, his boss would have taken them down but hearing Alex's words about taking him to the base made him weary.
He didn't know why he was feeling rather odd about it.
"Riya, come with me."
"Others look for the inn and gather information," Alex ordered but he halted in his steps and looked back with a gentle smile.
"And yeah, if I hear that you have been pickpocketed and were naive enough to lose money, then I will cut the salary of that much money lost."
"So, be careful and have a safe journey."
Everyone felt shivers down the chill on hearing his words.
.....
In the Lone Wolf headquarters.
Lone Wolf began their operations as mercenaries but was unable to earn enough from it and agreed to loot money swallowing their reasons.
One day instead of protecting a merchant group that was hired to protect them, they kill the group and take all their money.
In this way, they became bandits from mercenaries and started to grow but they still maintained their mercenaries business as they were able to pay a good amount for certain requests involving doing illegal things.
It was a usual and calm day and the head of Lone wolf, Woofer resumed his daily tasks of looking at the collection while fiddling with a woman on both sides who massaged his shoulder with a sweet mischievous smile.
KNOCK!KNOCK!
"What happened!" Woofer asked with an irritated tone as his good moments were interrupted.
"Boss, Dough had returned and he seemed to have collected a good sum today
He wanted you to meet two people who have come here for a request. They seemed to be quite powerful.
Woofer waved his hand asking the woman to leave.
The door opened and Dough entered, giving them a bow followed by Alex and Riya.
After everyone left, Woofer raised his brows seeing the dazzling boy and the black-clothed woman.
Alex pulled down the chair and sat down while Riya stood behind him.
" Tell me, Mister, what request do you have?"
"Kidnapping, assassinating someone, stealing goods or transport of illegal things."
"Which facility do you want?" Woofer went straight to the business.
Alex smiled and bent his head and said"I will give you 10,000 gold coins for this task."
Woofer's eyes widened and he thought about whether Alex was joking.
"What I want is simple?"
"I want the whole lone wolf mercenary?" Alex spoke with an overhearing tone.
Woofer stared at Alex with a dazed expression and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Mister, you are good at jokes."
Alex chuckled seeing him and just nodded his head.
"Can we be serious now? Tell me what job request you have."
"I am serious Mr Woofer. I want Lone Wolf"
Woofer rolled his eyes and thought about whether this man is an idiot.
Seeing his clothes and appearance he was sure that this person was noble and he might be the young and overconfident haughty boy who doesn't know the way of the world.
He thought of teaching this boy a lesson.
Woofer's expression changed and without any warning, he pulled out a dagger and he moved his hand straight at Alex's throat.
However!
His wrist was struck and with a speed invisible to his naked eye, a dagger pierced his palm and it was pinned on the desk.
He shrieked in pain and started to shout in agony but Alex had already made the room soundproof.
Woofer stared at the woman beside the boy and was seriously frightened by her.
Only after she made a move, did he come to know that she was at the same rank as him but he couldn't even react when she made the move.
"Is this the basis of your confidence?"Woofer asked while observing Alex's facial expression.
Alex glanced at his eye and said" No!"
"It's just that if I made a move, and was unable to control my strength, you are going to hell for sure."
Woofer just closed his eyes and tried to process what was going on.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"I want you all to work for me until I am here," Alex muttered and took out a scroll.
"I hear there is a black underground organisation here. I want you to check this scroll there and collect information about the seller."
"Just this?" Woofer asked with a shocked expression.
"Yeah, and I have planted a mark on you which will inform me when you think of betraying me." Alex lied but it was taken seriously by Woofer.
Alex stood and spoke with a smile, "It was a pleasure doing business with you Mr Woofer."
