What was once a lively bar had now turned into a battlefield.
Several thugs lay on the ground, their heads bleeding, cowboys who dared to draw their guns were already dead.
Only the bar owner was left, beaten to a pulp, held in the hands of the knight in black armor, still instinctively defending himself: “What are you talking about… I don’t know…”
“Do you want to die?”
The knight in black shoved his revolver into the bar owner’s mouth, vicious and domineering: “I’ll ask you one last time!”
“I really don’t know… The boss never tells us where he is…” The bar owner’s voice was a bit off pitch.
As it turned out, no bandit could remain resolute in the face of death. He revealed everything he knew immediately.
“What a shame…”
The black knight looked around, comparing the faces of the thugs on the floor: “Tsk… no notables from the wanted list, what a waste of time!”
The badly beaten goons remained speechless.
They were merely peripheral members at most. The truly vicious murderers were definitely mixed with Gered’s elite squadron.
In fact, there was no real affiliation. The bar owner had simply ‘paid tribute’ to Gered before, and as such, they fell under his protection by association. They were victims of an unwarranted disaster simply due to this association.
“Woman! How dare you?”
At that moment, two burly men rushed out from the deepest part of the bar. Seeing the situation, they darted towards the knight without a second thought, moving swiftly.
“[Soldier]?”
The Black Knight, a woman, let out a cold laugh. Her long legs full of wild strength, she swept them off with a single sweep.
Thud!
One of the “[Soldiers]” slammed into the bar, a multitude of bottles shattering.
She spun her body, with another high kick, heavily hitting the chest of the other burly man.
“If it was the old me, I might have been tied up facing two professionals, but not anymore! ”
Geli was full of confidence.
But at that moment, a shadow suddenly emerged behind her.
The man who crashed into the bar counter was soaked in blood, his body covered with alcohol and shards of broken glass, his eyes bloodshot as he lunged at her with a bear hug.
The resilience of the [Soldier], or rather their recovery speed, was quite formidable.
An ordinary person hit with such a kick would probably have been lying on the ground with fractured bones, incapable of getting up. But to him, it seemed like the kick merely caused flesh wounds.
Geli was taken by surprise and was grabbed tightly, just as the other burly man lunged at her.
In the face of the two men’s attack, even though she has been promoted to the second rank of the [Cavalry], she still felt overwhelmed.
After all, the [Cavalry]’s strength lies primarily in mounted combat.
“Yo, hello there.”
Just then, the bar door opened and a young man appeared.
Even though he had a smile at the corner of his mouth, for some reason, Geli felt a terrifying aura hit her. She felt as if she was facing a lion on the grassland during her childhood years.
Spirit oppression!
Su Lu looked at the three dazed individuals and promptly pulled his gun without hesitation.
With the sound of two gunshots, the soldiers were hit in the neck and fell to the ground twitching.
Such fatal injuries were not something an ordinary professional could recover from simply by toughness.
“Are you alright?”
Su Lu blew the smoke from the barrel of the gun and looked towards Geli.
After some time apart, she had actually been promoted to the second rank of the [Cavalry]!
Su Lu was surprised, it seemed that she must have spent a significant amount of time at rank one, with much stored potential.
This must be how she was able to break through so quickly once she obtained the information regarding promotion.
Of course, compared to a breakthrough at once in the Attribute Panel, it still fell short.
“And… Congratulations on your promotion to a second-rank professional!”
Su Lu gave her a smile.
“It’s you… fake Sean!”
There was something strange about Geli’s expression. She stepped forward, her hands on Su Lu’s shoulders, seemingly wanting to give him a warm hug. But the next moment, her right knee bent and she gave Su Lu a hard bump!
“What the hell!”
At tne critical moment, nis Ingrainea comDat Instinct ancl tne L wanaererj’s ability was of great help.
With both hands, Su Lu broke free from Geli’s grip. His steps agile, he retreated several meters in an instant, avoiding the deadly knee bump. He looked at her with a cold sweat and asked, “What are you doing?”
“What am I doing? You bastard!”
Geli cursed, “Last time, you left without even telling me your name…”
The mention of this made her blood boil.
“Uh…”
Su Lu was somewhat embarrassed and laughed awkwardly, “Sorry… I had an emergency last time.”
Yes, buying materials, making potions, improving attributes, indeed all quite urgent matters, matters of life and death.
“And what about this time?”
Geli picked up a bottle and casually smashed it on the head of a thug who was trying to run away.
“This time…”
Su Lu sighed, glancing at his experience points which had surged past nine hundred, “I want to wipe out Gered’s gang!”
He just needed one more round of harvesting and he would meet the requirements for promotion to [Odd Technician]. Even if things turned for the worst, he would still have the strength to fight!
“Wipe out Gered’s gang?”
Geli poured herself a cup of beer, “Why?”
“For justice!”
Su Lu gave a reason even he himself did not believe and then asked Geli, “What about you? Why are you here?”
“This thing…”
Geli glanced outside, “Let’s talk about it outside!”
This place was a crime scene after all, staying too long was risky.
“Alright!”
Su Lu agreed at once, grabbing a horse at random and rode side by side with Geli into the night.
Riding at night requires skills, as the road could be full of potholes, easily leading to accidents.
However, Su Lu found Geli to be extremely stable in her riding. Already excellent in her horse riding skills, she had seemingly progressed to a mystical level where she could communicate with the horse.
‘Is this the special ability of the [Cavalry]?’
As Su Lu thought to himself, he suddenly heard Geli’s voice, “Follow behind me.”
With her leading the way, it would help avoid many dangers.
The two of them rode, one after the other, advancing under the moonlight.
After a moment of silence, Geli was the first to speak, “After last time, I finally gathered enough Golden Dragons to purchase information about advancing to the second rank, and I even found a great teacher!”
“Teacher?”
Su Lu was somewhat surprised; of course, she was talking about a superior on the transcendent side.
“Yes… He taught me many things and helped me successfully take office.”
Geli held a great respect for this teacher, “But for some reason, I can’t tell you his name.”
“Alright.”
Since she was unwilling to reveal more, Su Lu certainly wouldn’t probe, he was merely curious, “So, tonight…’
“Tonight, this is a task my teacher assigned to me!”
Geli disclosed without hesitation. “To clear the Gered gang’s hideouts in
Charles City and investigate Gered’s whereabouts… If found, notify the teacher immediately! ”
‘It sounds like… a hunt? Could it be that Geli’s teacher is a powerful bounty hunter?’
This was quite possible; Su Lu fell into contemplation..
