Chapter 11: The Nobleman
The next day, Su Xiao woke up quite early.
After washing up and putting on a guard's uniform, Su Xiao came to the headquarters of the capital's security department.
In front of the headquarters, he saw a large group of guards, and they kept coming in and out of the headquarters.
— Hurry up, Boss Oka has been killed. This incident has alarmed the nobles, we must find the killer by all means!
Hank commanded a large number of guards with a " sad " expression, but his eyes gave him away.
Due to the death of his "boss", he can take a suddenly vacant place.
Su Xiao noticed that there were two people standing at the door of the headquarters who were coldly observing the entire process. These two were the guards who followed Oka last night.
They were most likely Oki's bosom buddies.
Hank's excessive energy might have made them suspicious, but his behavior was easy to explain. If he does everything right, he can become the new boss.
There was no second leader among the guards, for Oka did not allow anyone else to take power. He did not allow anyone to even distribute budgets, let alone appoint a deputy..
The reason Su Xiao killed Oku wasn't because he had offended him in any way.
He needed to raise his status quickly, but with Oka at his side, it was simply impossible.
As for joining the ranks of the palace servants, Su Xiao didn't even think about it.
He already had a simple plan at hand with very few undefined values.
And tomorrow, according to the history of this world, the dump will be set on fire. Of course, the palace wouldn't personally interfere in this kind of dirty business, but would only send certain people to do so.
Su Xiao had previously found out that there were two groups of guards in the capital — one was responsible for the security of the capital, and the other was responsible for checking and controlling the gates of the city.
And when Su Xiao was looking for a weapon in the warehouse, he saw quite a lot of flammable liquid.
If you rely on the usual logic, all this combustible liquid will go to one "important" thing.
To destroy a huge landfill, obviously, a couple of simple fires will not be enough.
— Hank, what's up? Su Xiao asked.
Hank turned his head and looked at Su Xiao — " The boss was killed last night, but his people only found out about it this morning. You came just in time. Come with me, one of the nobles wants to see you.
Su Xiao's heart turned cold. Did any of the nobles want to see him? Hank decided to use him as a scapegoat?
But Su Xiao only smiled. "One of the nobles?" Such an important person really wants to see me? Su Xiao pretended to be puzzled, but kept his eyes on Hank.
— Yes, but I'm not sure why, " Hank said, clearly saddened that it wasn't him..
Su Xiao was a little surprised by this sudden news. He had nothing to do with nobles. The only thing that could connect him with them... is this a letter of recommendation? It looked like that recommendation letter was much more important than he thought.
Following Hank, Su Xiao came to the courtyard of a luxurious villa.
Soon two guards stopped Hank...
— Is this the right person? Hank gave a quick nod in response, and two guards took Hank's weapons. As for Su Xiao, his weapons were in his inventory.
The guards nodded and led them into the hall...
A family was having breakfast in the hall, and an old man with white hair and a very serious face was sitting in the main seat.
When the old man saw Hank, he casually put down the food and motioned for the others to leave. In the end, only the old man, Hank, Su Xiao, and the burly bald man remained in the hall.
The burly man gave Su Xiao an unusually dangerous feeling. Although he was unarmed, Su Xiao noticed the calluses on his opponent's hands.
The man was clearly a master of hand-to-hand combat.
— Your name is Hank, right? Is this the new guard?" The old man spoke slowly and with a straight face. He was clearly one of those people who had a lot of weight.
— "Yes, yes, my Lord," Hank said stiffly.
— The old man might have been a little annoyed by Hank's nervousness and decided not to give him a second chance.
Hank lowered his head and retreated to the door, then disappeared from Su Xiao's sight.
— I am a noble of this kingdom. Carlos gave me a lot of interesting collections. Since you're his nephew, I have to take care of you. It's a pity, of course, but yesterday Carlos broke an important deal. Since I couldn't find him, I naturally had to find his nephew, that is, you.
Su Xiao guessed what had happened.
Carlos was a black market trader. After the death of Carlos, the" deal " of this nobleman fell through. Since Carlos couldn't be found, this noble decided to find his nephew, Su Xiao.
And right now, he probably just wanted to get what he should have gotten if it wasn't for Su Xiao's interference...
— It's not a problem. I know all about my uncle's channels. He was seriously injured yesterday and is now recovering, but...
The nobleman raised his eyebrows and said — " If I can get the collection, I won't hurt you with the reward. I heard that the headquarters ' leader died last night. If I get mine, I'll let you become the new boss of the guard.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao left the noble's villa.
The conditions offered by this noble gave Su Xiao a headache.
After he made his conditions, Paradise gave him a new mission.
[Side mission: The Nobleman's Collection.
Difficulty level: Second.
Introduction: The nobleman's collection needed to be replenished, but due to a broken deal, it remained unchanged.
Side mission goal: Kill the owner of Mount Kolubo and pull out his teeth. The owner of the mountain is an adult tiger.
Execution time: Ten o'clock.
Reward for Execution: Position of Leader of the Capital Guards.
Penalty for failure: Removal from custody and put on the wanted list on false charges.]
Su Xiao knew who the master of Mount Kolubo was. It was a huge tiger that almost killed young Luffy.
All the opponents Su Xiao had encountered since entering this world were quite strong.
One day he will be able to kill any enemy with a single blow of his sword and will not be afraid of anyone in the world.
But this world was too dangerous and he didn't even have the qualifications to do something without thinking twice about it.
He was too weak.
The master of Mount Kolubo was very strong, and he wasn't something that Su Xiao could handle head-on right now. It was a wild, truly strong beast.
But even though he couldn't fight it head-on, it didn't mean that Su Xiao couldn't kill this tiger.
