Chapter 1346: The Lone Wolf
Little bun stared at Su Xiao in amazement.
At first, her face showed surprise, but soon it was replaced by fear.
Before she came to this world, she had already heard a lot about Su Xiao, or rather "Byakuya».
When she first heard about Su Xiao, she had the impression that there was another dark horse at the third rank, but this had nothing to do with her simple life.
Not long after, she heard the news from her comrades that the "Sparky" Guild had been destroyed by a single person.
That was when Little Bun realized that this wasn't a dark horse at all, but a ruthless monster that could fight entire guilds alone.
— An invincible third-rank monster? Su Xiao muttered and frowned.
The nickname only offended him.
— You can refer to me as "Byakuya" or just "you". The real monsters are now in other places.
Su Xiao didn't think about the fact that he was the 'strongest'. In fact, there were definitely contractors stronger than him in the Sabaodi Archipelago.
The difference of one rank wasn't a joke. Normal rank four contractors will be difficult to deal with. A little earlier, Su Xiao encountered a loner near 21 islands. They were about a hundred meters away from each other, and neither of them planned to attack. This contractor's aura alone made a deep impression on Su Xiao. It was sticky and dark, as if it wanted to consume everything around it.
Sacred Emperor and Stan were the best fourth-rank contractors. They were the leaders of large guilds, and among other things, they worked very hard and enjoyed all the benefits of their guilds. Their equipment, skills, and so on were top notch.
Su Xiao received his scabbard, Sunset of Divinity, from the Holy Emperor. Although the Divinity scabbards were only of a dark purple quality, the ability of this unbreakable shield scabbard was as useful as it could be, and most likely, even a few golden scabbards wouldn't be a worthy replacement for such a scabbard.
— Have you been in contact with rank five contractors yet? Little Bun asked.
— Stop talking nonsense. Where is Roger's gun now?
Su Xiao certainly wouldn't give up 10,000 pirate reputation points. If he gets this gun, he will definitely take first place and no one will be able to overtake him.
— In the Powder Tavern. Roger's gun is right in it, but no one dares come for it. The brewery is currently being watched by at least five snipers. Anyone who decides to take the gun will die. Iron Tank, Barbat, Mask and others are waiting for the right moment in the surrounding area. They are well-known contractors of the fourth rank. Moreover, there is even Lazo. He's very strong.
When Little Bun started talking about Lazo, her voice started to tremble.
— Lazo? Su Xiao asked and frowned.
This guy was a weirdo.
— Yes, he's from the Ghost Brigade. I do not know why Lazo is ranked tenth, and although he is not stronger than Gulu, he is definitely stronger than Vinnie.
What Little Bun didn't know was that Lazo was ranked tenth just because of his preferences.
— That idiot, " Su Xiao muttered, his voice not loud, but Little Bun heard him.
— Little Bun asked and looked around as if she was afraid that others would hear something similar.
Lazo was known for taking revenge for even the slightest offense.
— You... know Lazo?
— No, but I know he's an idiot, " Su Xiao replied, and felt his head start to ache.
One day, after he returned to Paradise, Lazo came to him and once again invited Su Xiao to join the Ghost Brigade.
Back then, Su Xiao didn't plan on joining anywhere, so he immediately turned him down and Lazo ended up leaving him with a disgruntled look.
Lazo was very strong. He wasn't as good as Gul, but he was stronger than Vinnie. Although he wasn't the strongest among the rank four contractors, he was the kind of opponent that shouldn't be underestimated at all.
Although they had previously dated and parted on a bad note, they were not enemies.
Lazo was the tenth member of the Ghost Brigade. Given his strength, it wasn't very clear why he would occupy such a place.
— So now everyone knows about it?
— Right.
The story was very simple. First, the lucky guy was able to steal Roger's gun and got a hidden mission. Completed two stages, he eventually died on 21 islands, before that he managed to throw a cry for help, because of which everyone learned about this item and the reward.
Roger's gun was in the Powder Tavern right now. He was lying on the floor, but because of the snipers who had signed a tacit agreement, no one could take him away. Any daredevil immediately died from the shots, and the one who tried to eliminate the snipers, as a result, faced all of them at once.
The main benefit was received by snipers, as they received a good amount of reputation for killing..
Apart from them, there were other strong contractors who were waiting in the vicinity for the right moment. The good news was that no guild was interested in this matter. However, this was very obvious, because as soon as one appeared, all the loners would decide to unite and eliminate it first..
Dozens of strong individuals had already taken control of the area around the Powder Tavern. They would support each other as soon as a guild tried to take the gun, but otherwise they would try to take it for themselves.
But there was only one of Roger's guns, and since it would give 10,000 reputation points, no one wanted to back down.
If the 21 islands as a whole were a very dangerous place, the area around the Powder Tavern was like a minefield. Even the very well-known contractors and a member of the Ghost Brigade didn't dare take the gun for themselves, which was saying a lot.
Su Xiao was very interested in this gun. After the battle of Dress Rose, he no longer had a good source of pirate reputation, but the fifth-rank contractors were still there, and they were still actively earning reputations.
After learning all the necessary information, Su Xiao got to his feet. Although the Powder Tavern was a very dangerous place right now, after going through all the dangers, he would be able to make a huge profit.
He could stand up to fourth-rank contractors as a third-rank contractor not because of his luck or talent, but because of his determination and lack of fear.
— Lead the way.
— Little bun stared at Su Xiao blankly, and the smile on her face quickly faded. — Do you really want to go?" "What is it?" she asked.
— Of course, " Su Xiao replied and left the bar.
Since Little Bun had a contract signed with him, she could only follow him.
In Little Bun's eyes, that short-haired girl was very strong and evil, but in the eyes of all those who were currently guarding the gun, such girls were useless weaklings.
Such a contractor was already able to scare Little Bun, then what would happen when she met the real lone wolves?..
----
Twenty-first island, next to a dilapidated tavern.
The street was dead silent.
When a strong wind began to blow, sand and newspaper fragments began to fly down the street.
A body lay on the empty street, already buzzing with flies.
