Meanwhile, Weber patted the dust off his chest as he solemnly added.
âWe risked our lives for our rights. Instead of fighting the mutant beasts to protect the town, you sit here and show off your âprivileges.â And you still think you have the moral high ground?â
âYou keep bring up that âIâve made a contribution, so Iâm superiorâ card again! Stealing is stealing. Donât try to find an excuse for it!â
Maggi glared at the two of them and cursed loudly.
Then, he pointed at Zhou Jingâs nose and said angrily.
âCome, come, come. Iâm part of the Lordâs guard. If you have the ability, cut me down. Let me see if your blade is that sharp!â
âCorrection, that potion you reserved isnât something you should be able to reserve. Strictly speaking, itâs not yours.â
As Zhou Jing spoke, he exerted a little force on his wrist, causing the blade to press against Maggiâs neck and draw a line of blood.
âAnd⊠aggravating someone who can threaten your life is not a wise choice.â
Maggi felt the sting on his neck, and his face twitched as if he wanted to be stubborn till the end.

But in the end, he judged the situation to not be in his favor. He raised his hands and stepped back.
Leaving the range of the blade, Maggi wiped his hand across his neck and felt the wet blood.
He suddenly looked up at Zhou Jing and said hoarsely, âGood, youâre really good!â
With that, he turned around and left.
Zhou Jing resisted the urge to go up and lop off his hand, instead sheathing his saber and only clicking his tongue. He looked at the person in charge. âYou can give me the potion now.â
âSigh, alrightâŠâ
The manager could only sigh and move to the warehouse to collect the potion.
Only then did Zhou Jing look at Weber and nod, âThank you.â
Webber shook his head. âIt was just a small matter. I came to look at the workshopâs equipment and happened to bump into you. Naturally, Iâll stand on your side⊠Besides, I hate that group of Lordâs guards.â
Zhou Jing nodded. This was not a surprise to him.
It was not the first time the Mutant Beast Hunters had looked down on the Lordâs guards. The conflict had been accumulating for a long time.
Facing ordinary people, the Mutant Beast Hunters treated them the same normally.
However, the hunters were domineering towards the Lordâs guards.
To guards that didnât dare to fight the mutant beasts, they still expected huntersâwho risked their own livesâto give them preferential treatment.
The hunters could understand the guardâs choice, but they hoped that they would have some self-awareness. If they caught sight of the hunters themselves, they should get out of their sight lest they dirty the hunterâs eyes. Even better, not shamelessly taking their rights.
Zhou Jing did not have a good attitude towards the Lordâs guards. If the mutant blood potion he liked was reserved by a hunter, he would give him face and wait for other suitable mutant blood potions in the future.
However, since the other party was a lordâs guard, he could not be bothered to give in at all. He did not feel any psychological pressure at all⊠He just wanted it. There was no need to pretend.
Weber suddenly asked, âBy the way, will you be free recently?â
âWhy? Do you want to hunt together?â
âYes, thereâs a fatal-risk mutant beast lurking at the edge of White Plains Town. I plan to organize a hunting team to deal with it, lest it threatens the surroundings of White Plains Town. Do you want to come?â
âIâll think about it. If Iâm free, Iâll be there.â
Zhou Jing didnât agree immediately. He wasnât sure if he would be able to project himself down during that time.
They chatted for a while before the workshop manager finally returned and handed the Howling Wind Tiger potion to Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing put away the potion, waved goodbye to Weber, and headed to the Hunter Tavern.
The workshop manager watched Zhou Jing leave before shaking his head and spoke hesitatingly.
âMaggi is the captain of the guards. Is it okay to offend him?â
âWhat could possibly go wrong?â Weber turned to look at him and said calmly, âWhich is more important, a hunter who hunts mutant beasts for the masses or a bunch of useless guards?â
âŠ
On the other side, in a dungeon under the leaderâs house.
The torches crackled and burned, and the light was dim.
Lutt looked at the goateed man and Gamma kneeling in front of him, his face cold.
He rubbed the ring and said coldly, âIâve said before that the Hunter Potions are our bottom line, but you donât seem to take it seriously. You still dared to do this deal behind my back⊠Why? You canât get enough?â
The goateed man hurriedly crouched on the ground, trembling.
Beside him, Gamma didnât care. He knelt down and moved towards Lutt, begging in a trembling voice.
âMy Lord, I donât know anything about their business at all. Iâm just reselling potions. Iâll sell them if they pay. I donât know anything about what theyâre doing in private. My crime isnât that serious. Can you letâŠâ
Swoosh!
A blade flashed.
Gammaâs face froze as she stared at the jeweled dagger in Luttâs hand. It was now pressed against his neck, drawing blood.
âDonât, donât killâŠâ
âShut up.â
Lutt kicked Gamma to the wall, then took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood off his jeweled dagger. He looked at Goatee, who was lying on the ground, not daring to move.
âNow tell me the information you told that hunter again. With this pharmacist as a witness, tell me everything.â
The goateed man said in a trembling voice, âCousin, no one knows about our relationship. I definitely didnât betray you!â
Gamma was stunned by this sentence.
Lutt narrowed his eyes and sneered to himself when he heard his words.
