A rich young master who was very generous but had no magic.

Yes, they had their eyes on Su Han.

When they saw that Su Han was using gold coins as a unit, they had a desire in their hearts.

More importantly, Su Han's appearance was too outstanding.

Even though he was a man, in this world, there were many aristocrats who liked men.

If they could tie Su Han up, collect some money first, and then sell him to those aristocrats, they would definitely be able to make a huge profit.

With such thoughts in mind, they followed behind Su Han.

Opposite the tavern, in a house.

Seeing Su Han in front and seven to eight scarred men following behind, the group of people retracted their gazes.

The leader of the group was a burly man. He said to a tall woman sitting in the room, “Asuna, why did you invite that guy? He looks so weak.”

“Having him follow our team is just having a burden!”

“Moreover, he is targeted by the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group. He definitely won't be able to survive.”

The woman who had invited Su Han to join the adventurer team said calmly, “Bai Sen, I told you not to underestimate anyone!”

“He looks like a weak n.o.ble youth, but when you think about it carefully, this town is surrounded by a deep forest with powerful magical beasts gathering. He can come here alone in the forest, but he's not injured at all. He even looks so elegant and calm!”

“I smell danger on him!”

“This is enough to prove that he is not as simple as he looks!”

The woman named Asuna stood up and looked in the direction where Su Han and the fierce tiger mercenary group had left. Her whole body was exuding a shocking killing intent. She said coldly, “Besides, I have a hunch!”

“Once we provoke the other party, we might die!”

“If my guess is correct, he may be a n.o.ble mage!”

No one knew that when she said the last three words, especially when the words 'mage' appeared, there was a trace of doubt and envy.

“Mage?”

“How could a n.o.ble mage come to such a desolate town!?”

The burly men in the room shook their heads and denied it.

“Of course, this is just my guess…”

Asuna then stared at the others and said, “But let me put it this way. None of you will open your eyes and provoke him!”

“Even if it's only a small possibility, if he really is a mage, we are finished.”

Saying this, Asuna's sharp eyes swept over the few of them.

These few people were obviously burly men with fierce and fierce auras, but facing the gaze of a woman like Asuna, they were all so frightened that they lowered their heads like quails.

“Got it. We definitely won't disturb that Lord!”

Seeing Asuna's serious expression, the burly men said in unison.

Asuna nodded and said, “I'm going back. You guys stay here. Also…”

She hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Send someone to keep an eye on the members of the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group. If they really want to attack, if that Lord is a mage, come and report immediately. If not… then forget it.”

“After all, trash can't survive here!”

After saying that, she left the place.

The few burly men immediately agreed.

After Asuna left completely, the few men wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads and heaved a sigh of relief.

The knights outside did not understand why the mercenary group, which had just been established and was already quite famous, would let a woman be the leader. Moreover, the members of the team were all submissive to this woman.

However, only they understood.

The reason why their adventurer team was able to be established was because of Asuna's prowess.

Everyone in the team was defeated and convinced by Asuna.

Adventurers all admired the strong, so they were willing to be driven by Asuna!

However, the reason why they were so afraid was mainly because of Asuna's methods.

One had to know that a year ago, Asuna was sold by her stepmother to an old man in the town.

This old man was a mercenary when he was young. Because he had a broken leg, he had to leave the fight and return to the town to live.

However, his mercenary past did not give the old man a forthright personality. Instead, it made him very bitter and mean.

When he had just returned to the town, some people thought that although he had a broken leg, he was still a powerful mercenary and had a lot of savings.

Therefore, many people in the town wanted to marry their daughter to him, hoping to get a large sum of money after the mercenary died.

However, they did not expect that this old man would often curse his wife after drinking too much and beat her to death.

Later, no one was willing to marry their daughter to him.

And now, Asuna was married to him, and many men in the town were quite regretful. Such a beautiful girl would be tortured by an old man, and then she would become haggard and die.

But no one would have thought that Asuna would change her usual submissive character and directly escape from the old man's home on the day of the wedding.

Then, she disappeared without a trace until two months later.

Asuna walked out of the dense forest covered in blood.

Not long after, her sour stepmother disappeared without a trace. Her stepmother's son, the brother who often bullied her, was also found dead in the dense forest.

And that old mercenary with a broken leg even hanged himself in his own house.

All those who had bullied her had died in various ways, but the people in the town could not find any evidence.

And she was so openly active in the town.

Over time, the people in the town were filled with fear when they saw her, as if they were avoiding the plague.

In the following days, Asuna had been active in the dense forest. Her skills were very powerful, and even the most powerful knights in the town were no match for her.

She had a keen sense of smell and terrifying fighting talent, and could often kill powerful magical beasts with all kinds of unimaginable methods.

Finally, one day, when she walked out of the forest with the corpse of a huge magical beast, and came to the town, someone recognized the origin of this magical beast.

It was a Golden-Haired Giant Ape that was comparable to a tier-4 warrior.

From then on, no one dared to lay their eyes on her!

Later on, she formed her own mercenary team. The members of the team were all powerful people from the town or outside of the town, but they were all convinced by her.
