Chapter 194 Fooled The Trio
(FROM MC's Perspective)
The Adventurer Union,
I studied three of their expressions. Initially, I considered joining their guild. But, if I ask myself, I believe it will be too suspicious. I also want to know what's on their mind.
After knowing me as a trash wizard, I doubt they'll be so kind as to let me join their guild.
For a brief moment, the atmosphere was deafeningly quiet.
People were entering and exiting the cafeteria. This insignificant interaction drew no attention. A few other hunters sat in a circle.
I took a look around at my surroundings. I looked around to see if anyone was noticing us. "Why don't you join our team next week?" Bob said at this point.
When I heard that, my lips curved into arcs. Then, in the next split second, I calmed down. I faced him with the same innocent expression on my face.
"Cough, Leader Bob, I'm going to be a burden for you, so let it pass. I'm grateful for your nice words," I said brightly.
Bob Stokes, on the other hand, thinks to himself, "I need to convince this young man ASAP," and he dislikes dragging things out.
So he immediately countered, "As fellow low-level wizards, we need to look out for each other."
"So don't worry about anything; we'll take care of you," Bob added, before signaling two members to speak up.
Garry and Peter immediately echoed one after the other, feeling their leader's stern gaze.
"The leader is correct, Kevin; we will take care of you."
"All right, we'll look after you."
Kevin, the leader, smiled wide when he saw the young man's worry-free expression. He thought their brainwashing was effective.
When I heard that, I muttered inwardly, "Stupid."
"Well, thank you for your support, and I will gladly join your team," I replied.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...."
"Good," Bob said, smiling broadly.
They completely believed me after seeing that. In my mind, I devised the next course of action.
"Are you guys free the day after tomorrow?" I inquired eagerly.
My unexpected interrogation caught them off guard.
"The day after tomorrow?" Bob asked, his brow furrowed. Because three of them had decided to complete the mission task the following day. As a result, they will need some time to complete the mission.
Bob predicted that it would take at least three days. But he is thinking about what the young man wants.
Then Bob asked, "Is there something?"
Garry and Peter perked up their ears next to him.
"This is not the place to talk; let us go outside," I said as I rose from my seat and walked towards the exit.
I continued walking toward the exit without looking behind me.
I devised a suitable strategy. The day after tomorrow, I'll travel to the vast plains with the assistance of this team. Because I have to go to the Claudia gym tomorrow. I can't put off my progress any longer.
I'll be more confident in removing these people once I've gained some strength.
A quick glint enters my eyes.
I have a hunch that I will come across the secret information about the abandoned site sooner or later.
So I shouldn't make any unnecessary moves right now. First, I'm going to see what plans this group has.
I walked out of the adventurer union's tower building a few seconds later. When I looked at the time again, my face darkened.
My parents are already suspicious of my activities. If I do not leave right now, it will raise their eyebrows even more.
Should I inform them or not?
But I don't think telling them will help. It only adds to their anxiety. Suddenly, I had a brilliant idea. Why don't I invest in a studio apartment?
Many things are possible for me if I live independently. I can come and go whenever I want. The more I think about it, the more appealing it becomes.
"Let's see, if things go wrong, I'll be able to live on my own after that," I muttered to myself.
By this time the trio exited the building.
The leader cast a glance around the room. When he saw me standing near the parking lot, he smiled and walked toward me with his two team members.
"Young man Kevin, is it okay to talk now?" Bob asked as he approached me.
Hearing that, I nodded and checked to make sure no one was nearby.
"Actually, at the top of a steep rock hill, I saw some precious flower glittering in purple light," I said, revealing a surprise to them.
I know I'm taking a chance because no one will reveal treasure information in that manner. But when I saw their perplexed expression. I expected them to be like this. If they believe I'm a spoon wizard, they won't have any trouble believing this lie either.
He. He...He...
In my heart, I smiled evilly.
"Is it treasure?" Peter inquired hastily.
"I'm not sure, I don't know the name of the flower," I said, shaking my head in denial.
Shining purple isn't a convincing argument. However, there is one flower that has similar characteristics. That's why I told them that didn't recognize the flower.
This will allow them to name the flower using their little brains.
Bob, on the other hand, mulls over the name for a long time. He has no recollection of seeing such flowers on hilly peaks. "Is it possible?" he wondered.
Then Bob cast a glance at the young man in front of him, Kevin. The young man's innocent expression made him relax his guard. So far, he has been unable to recall the name of the flower.
He resolved to investigate it when he returned home.
"So you're planning to visit that place the day after tomorrow?" Bob inquired.
Garry and Peter were enlightened by his words.
"Good guy," Peter said, his eyes twinkling at the young man. Three of them had already planned to rob him. They had previously expressed reservations about the location. However, the young man himself stated that he will be venturing into the wilderness the following week.
This will save them a lot of trouble. Hearing that, they were already overjoyed. Now for the good news. Peter couldn't keep the tears from welling up in his eyes. However, he was concerned that the young man would notice something.
So he tried to remain as calm as possible. Then he looked over at Garry. Peter wasn't surprised by his reaction because Garry had the same reaction.
Finally, Peter cast a glance at Bob. Now it is up to him to make the final decision. They made the decision to go on a mission. But, before the possibility of treasure, the missions were meaningless. The mission can be completed later.
However, if the previous treasure is stolen, it will be a huge loss. His heart was filled with a sense of urgency. But before he could finish his sentence, he heard Bob's voice.
"Four of us are going to the wilderness the day after tomorrow," Bob said solemnly.
"Are you okay with it, Kevin?" Bob inquired.
When I heard that, I smiled and nodded.
We decided to meet here tomorrow late at night the next second. Then, after exchanging contact information, I was the first to part ways.
I jumped into a nearby air car right away.
The air car took off from the ground and flew to its destination.
When the air car vanished, Peter inquired, "Can he not walk to the 5th cross street?"
Bob wrinkled his brows when he heard that.
Then, in the next split second, he realized the young man Kevin had another place to go. As a result, he didn't take it seriously.
"Bob, I've never seen a novice hunter like him," sneered Garry.
Bob smiled when he heard that.
"Well, it's also our good fortune to have come across him," Bob responded.
"Ha....Ha.....Ha..." Three of them burst out laughing the next second.
"We're going to make easy money," Peter laughed heartily.
SIGH
"How long has it been since we held a treasure in our hands?" Garry began to reminisce.
"All right, this isn't the place to talk; after killing that kid, we can celebrate all night," Bob said sternly.
When they heard that, they both retracted their thoughts.
Bob nodded as he observed their reaction. They then immediately left the location.
The air car, on the other hand, moves quickly towards the destination. Because there is no traffic at night, the driver felt there was no reason to drive slowly.
When I look down at the houses from above, a glint flashes into my eyes.
"Studio houses," I grumbled.
Maybe I'll have enough money after I kill those scumbags. I'm sure they had some personal fortune.
Based on their actions, I believe they had extensive experience killing and looting. Valiant Sword Guild is a shambles. But I like their approaches.
Because I'm using the same method to improve my strength.
When it comes to school the next day the image of Frank comes to mind. I'm not sure what he's cooking right now. Anyway, I'll try to avoid him as much as possible before going to the Claudia gym.
