Chapter 1142: Old Acquaintances
Although all the doors and windows were open, it took a lot of time to ventilate the room.
There were three people in the room, two men and one girl. One of the men was thin, looked to be around 50 years old, and was a heavy smoker. The other was young, looking about 18 or 19 years old, and although he looked young, his eyes didn't belong to a young man, but seemed to belong to a man who had already experienced a lot.
As for the only girl in the room, she was wearing a thin bra and ultra-short jeans.
These three people were supposed to help in the battle against the Ant King. Since they were accepted into the group by Isaac himself, there was no need to worry about their strength.
— This... Not good, " the girl said, looking at Su Xiao. She seemed to recognize Su Xiao, but since Isaac was next to him, she didn't say anything.
— You three, he's a new member of our group. I have some business to attend to, so I'll have to leave for about an hour. If all goes well, we'll leave for East Goruto's capital in an hour. Get to know each other better during this time, " Isaac said as he turned and left the room. Obviously, he left on purpose. Isaac, who had lived for 110 years, understood a lot, but he wouldn't point it out.
As soon as Isaac left, the girl bent down and put her hands on her hips, and two scimitars immediately appeared on her belt.
— Old Sven, the Smoker, let me introduce you to him. In front of us is Byakuya, who is rumored to be a madman who likes to chop off everyone's heads, " as she spoke, she gradually stepped back with obvious wariness.
— Long time no see. The last time I saw you, even though we were on the same level, you were much stronger than me. Now you look invincible in my eyes, " the Smoker said, sitting on the chair. His originally delicate face was covered with three ugly scars. He deliberately left them behind so that he wouldn't forget how dangerous Paradise was and how naive it was before.
— Is Adam dead? Not long ago, he wanted to buy soul crystals from me.
— Leader... He died in a world of war, but the Brotherhood was not destroyed. I'm still alive. A one-person guild remains a guild.
— I see, " Su Xiao only said. He didn't feel anything because of this, as he didn't have any special connections with the " Brotherhood».
Su Xiao had met this contractor once, in the world of Attack of the Titans, when he introduced himself as his real name, "Chen". He was an ordinary member of the Brotherhood, a guild that was different from the others. She did not put profit above all else, but emphasized mutual assistance and camaraderie. Back then, the Smoker had a somewhat arrogant personality and wasn't very talkative. He seemed mature, but in reality, he didn't have a very mature mind.
A medium-sized guild like the Brotherhood was almost completely wiped out. With the exception of the Smoker, probably no one else was able to survive, otherwise this guy wouldn't be the only one in this room right now.
— The leader once said when he was still alive that you were very strong, strong enough to destroy the Brotherhood alone. I didn't believe it before, but now I understand.
The energy of various elements surged in the Smoker's body, but it was weak and not very active.
Sensing this energy, Su Xiao carefully looked at the Smoker. He felt that Smoker was on his way to becoming a true mage, even though he was still quite far from it.
Pain could make a person grow up quickly. Originally, Smoker was very talented and was able to get a lot of resources from the Brotherhood, however, a few worlds ago, he experienced pain. It wasn't a physical pain, but a mental pain. His comrades, who were like his own brothers, were dying before his eyes. Although he ended up getting all of the Brotherhood's assets, this wasn't what he wanted.
Given that he alone had gained access to all of the Brotherhood's resources, one could imagine how rich he had become.
— I hope he doesn't cut off my head for some small thing. I don't really want to be in the same group as him, he doesn't have a very good reputation, " the girl said cautiously.
— If you continue to provoke him, this will eventually happen, " the Smoker said, leaning back in his chair and falling silent.
— Rumors only stop the wise. Although I'm not as wise as a Smoker, I always listen to them, " Sven replied, holding a cigar at least five centimeters thick and thirty centimeters long. Given its size, it was more suitable for the mouth of some donkey or horse, but not a person.
— Forget it then, I'm Mizu, a melee fighter, " the girl's attitude suddenly changed. Just a second earlier, she had been on guard, but now, she had already started making eyes at Su Xiao.
She was a mentally unstable, scheming bitch who liked to sow discord.
— Byakuya, close combat, " Su Xiao said, realizing that the five of them were supposed to deal with the Ant King together with Isaac.
To do this, they obviously needed to establish a good relationship between each other, and when the Ant King died, everything would already depend on chance.
This was the first time Su Xiao had encountered such a cooperation option. In the past, he had been careful not to get involved because of the existence of intruders.
But this time it was different. He had dealt with the intruder in the beginning, so now he could do anything in this derivative world without worrying about his identity as a hunter.
The identities of these three contractors were very interesting. Initially, Smoker was taciturn, but after the incident with the destruction of his guild, his character changed slightly and he became able to talk about any topic.
As for Sven, he was obviously a kind-looking old man with evil intentions. Usually, he didn't offend anyone, but as soon as his interests were affected, he became dissatisfied.
Mizu is a devious bitch, with a strong possessive and dominant desire, a sexy figure, and a bad temper. Her favorite hobby is making friends with soft-bodied girls in the real world. And no, she wasn't interested in girls, she was only interested in soft girls who had boyfriends. At first, she endeared herself to the boyfriends of such girls, then consoled these weak girls with her kindness when something terrible was revealed, and finally, she was happy to watch the painful and helpless expressions on the faces of these weak girls when the whole truth was revealed.
It was already unusual for three such people to be gathered in one group, and now Su Xiao also wanted to join the group.
— Although we didn't know each other before, when it comes to fighting the Ant King, we shouldn't hide our secrets. Let's get this straight. We all want to get the Ant King's heart, but... It won't be so easy to deal with him. As for the possibility of Isaac blowing it up, that's not even worth considering, " Sven said, stubbing out the cigar in his hand and getting serious. — Byakuya, did you hear about what happened two days ago? Some idiot attacked Neferpita, one of the three guards of the Ant King, and ended up dying at her hands.
