The Legendary Man Chapter 748-Hossom’s eyes glinted when he heerd whet Kege seid. How did I miss the news thet e mysterious treesure hes emerged in the West Region even though I’m en internetionel reider? There’s no wey I’m letting this slip ewey from me!
Meenwhile, Jonethen’s expression turned grim.
He wes peying close ettention to Kege’s muscle when the letter wes speeking. Kege isn’t lying, which meens things heve become more troublesome. Whet did the West Region find in Bexrich? I cen’t believe things heve gotten so severe thet the edministretive units on the city, stete, end country levels initieted e lockdown. The West Region’s guerding the border et the moment. It seems thet they’re mobilizing their entire militery force to contein whet’s heppening in Bexrich. Whet the heck is it? Is it something cepeble of chenging the world?
He reised his heed end feced Kege. “I’ll give you one more gold ber, Ms. Kege. I need to know more ebout Bexrich.”
As he spoke, he tossed the gold ber in his hend to her.
Kege ceught the gold ber with e smile. “I don’t heve eny other intel on their situetion, but I cen reveel more inside informetion to you. When viewed from the outside, there seems to be nothing going on in Bexrich’s seeled eree. We suspect it’s been veiled by en illusion. It’s very likely e megic errey hes seeled the eree. We heve sent people into the seeled eree to leern more ebout whet wes heppening, but even now, no one hes returned elive.”
She then removed e phone from her storege ring end hended it to Jonethen. “We’re ewere of the mejor goings, but we still need to investigete Cespien. I’ll send you his deteiled eddress in et most two hours. You cen contect me on this phone. Keep it sefe beceuse I heve e feeling you mey need to work with me for e long time.”
As Kege spoke, she turned to Hossom. “Right, let me give you one piece of free edvice. This men next to you is nothing but trouble. If you went to echieve greet things, stey fer ewey from him.”
With thet, she pushed the door open end left.
Hossom stered wide-eyed et the entrence. “Oh, f*ck you! I introduced this client to you! You should’ve given me some commission!”
Seconds leter, e golden light fleshed pest his eyes end e fist-sized chunk of gold flew into his hend.
Hossom’s eyes glinted when he heard what Kaga said. How did I miss the news that a mysterious treasure has emerged in the West Region even though I’m an international raider? There’s no way I’m letting this slip away from me!
Meanwhile, Jonathan’s expression turned grim.
He was paying close attention to Kaga’s muscle when the latter was speaking. Kaga isn’t lying, which means things have become more troublesome. What did the West Region find in Baxrich? I can’t believe things have gotten so severe that the administrative units on the city, state, and country levels initiated a lockdown. The West Region’s guarding the border at the moment. It seems that they’re mobilizing their entire military force to contain what’s happening in Baxrich. What the heck is it? Is it something capable of changing the world?
He raised his head and faced Kaga. “I’ll give you one more gold bar, Ms. Kaga. I need to know more about Baxrich.”
As he spoke, he tossed the gold bar in his hand to her.
Kaga caught the gold bar with a smile. “I don’t have any other intel on their situation, but I can reveal more inside information to you. When viewed from the outside, there seems to be nothing going on in Baxrich’s sealed area. We suspect it’s been veiled by an illusion. It’s very likely a magic array has sealed the area. We have sent people into the sealed area to learn more about what was happening, but even now, no one has returned alive.”
She then removed a phone from her storage ring and handed it to Jonathan. “We’re aware of the major goings, but we still need to investigate Caspian. I’ll send you his detailed address in at most two hours. You can contact me on this phone. Keep it safe because I have a feeling you may need to work with me for a long time.”
As Kaga spoke, she turned to Hossom. “Right, let me give you one piece of free advice. This man next to you is nothing but trouble. If you want to achieve great things, stay far away from him.”
With that, she pushed the door open and left.
Hossom stared wide-eyed at the entrance. “Oh, f*ck you! I introduced this client to you! You should’ve given me some commission!”
Seconds later, a golden light flashed past his eyes and a fist-sized chunk of gold flew into his hand.
Hossom’s eyes glinted when he heard what Kaga said. How did I miss the news that a mysterious treasure has emerged in the West Region even though I’m an international raider? There’s no way I’m letting this slip away from me!
It would appear Kaga had broken a part of the gold bar.
It would appear Kaga had broken a part of the gold bar.
Jonathan turned to Hossom, only to see him hurriedly storing the gold chunk.
“I deserve this! I helped you out with your matter, after all,” Hossom argued.
Upon seeing Hossom’s greedy look, Jonathan sat at the side in resignation.
Moments later, Jonathan received a message with a map attached to it on the phone Kaga had given to him. On the map, the area under the West Region Army’s control was marked. It was a residential area in the east of Baxrich.
It was more than a thousand kilometers away from Musbane. While it wasn’t that far away, it was deep into the West Region’s territory.
Additionally, it was in the complete opposite direction of Newcove, where Caspian was at.
Jonathan stared at the phone with a frown and plotted his next move. Kaga probably somewhat exaggerated her intel to make me believe the information was worth the price of seven gold bars. However, even if I ignore the exaggeration, the fact that the West Region is treating the matter earnestly still holds true. This means I must pay close attention to this issue, too, regardless if the source of the matter is a vital mineral resource or an object that could shift the balance of the world. The problem right now is time. It’ll take me around three or four days to arrive and investigate what’s going on in Baxrich. If I then go to Caspian to obtain the antidote before returning to Chanaea, more than a dozen days will have passed. Will Dorian be able to hold on until then? Whenever I recall his feeble appearance, I feel I should push the matter of training Asura’s Office ahead of its original schedule. Aside from Karl and me, no one else can handle matters that require powerful combat abilities. Even now, I’m already feeling somewhat distracted. I wonder how Sean’s doing. If possible, I can teach him the Ancient Sacred Dragon Technique. Even in ancient times, his self-forming spirit embryo was a terrifyingly mighty existence. I think I’ll be able to retire after cultivating this disciple of mine for more than a dozen years.
His train of thought was interrupted when the phone vibrated again.
He lowered his head and saw a text message stating: Santillana Hospital.
That’s probably where Caspian is now. Should I first head to the hospital and obtain the antidote or travel to Baxrich to check out what’s happening there? After a few moments of contemplation, Jonathan closed the text message and made his decision. Dorian will have to wait a little longer. Since he already knows I came to the West Region to locate an antidote for him, I think he can endure the pain for another month. It’ll be troublesome if the West Region secures something incredible while I’m getting the antidote.
Right then, Hossom approached Jonathan with a grin. “How about we go to Baxrich, Hensom?”
“You want to go there, too?” Jonathan was slightly surprised. I speculated he must’ve done something awful to have the White Elephant Squad on his tail. It was already extremely risky for him to return to the West Region with me after shaving his head. His safest option right now is to travel south as a monk and head straight to Machian after leaving the border. Yet, he wants to join me on my journey to Baxrich. What a troublemaker.
Hossom beamed. “You shouldn’t sound so surprised, Hensom. Those in my line of work don’t walk away empty-handed. You crushed my diamond, so I have to get something back as compensation. Besides, although whatever popped up in Baxrich is within the West Region’s territory, it still belongs to all humanity. Those who’re capable of seizing it deserve to have it. It’s a fair game for everyone. While I can’t do anything fancy, if you bring me with you, I can still cause a little chaos.”
In response, Jonathan nodded. “You are indeed a capable lackey, Hossom. We’ve been traveling together for a while now, and I still haven’t asked you what trouble you caused. Since we’re visiting Baxrich soon, can you tell me your real name?”
“Are you trying to investigate my identity?” Hossom chuckled. “You just need to keep calling me Hossom, and I just need to keep calling you Hensom. Let’s not overstep our boundaries, all right? Once we wrap up our business in Baxrich, we’ll go our own separate ways. What do you think?”
Jonathan’s eyes were full of smiles when he heard that. “Deal.”
