“Senior Brother, you've been at Scarlet Flames Academy for two years now. Why are you still a D-rank mercenary?” Li Xin asked inquisitively.

The man shook his head and sighed. “The missions are too difficult and hard to do… I can't trudge my way up.”

“What's difficult about them? I've been at Scarlet Flames for three months now and have finished four D-rank missions already! One of the D-rank missions was freaking dangerous! I had to a.s.sa.s.sinate a son from a patrician family and nearly didn't make it back! Thank goodness I ran fast,” Li Xin bragged.

“D-rank mission?” A beautiful woman snorted. “That's nothing. I accepted a S-rank mission two months ago!”

Everyone, including Ye Wanwan, turned to the woman.

“And then?” Ye Wanwan was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with curiosity.

“And then…” The woman smiled at Ye Wanwan with a tinge of embarra.s.sment. “And then I gave up…”

Ye Wanwan: “…”

“Are you joking with us? If you really finished a S-rank mission, you probably wouldn't be living here with us right now.” Li Xin shook his head.

Then he mysteriously asked everyone, “Have you seen the SS-rank mission on the mission board yet…?”

“I saw it! It's eradicating the Fearless Alliance. What universal joke is that? Who is the Fearless Alliance? Their danger rating is 10 points, and Bro Flattop is a demoness in the Independent State! I heard she eats people!”

“Exactly! Last time, the boss of Ironhead Gang went to seek revenge from President Fearless, and guess what happened? His two arms and three legs were all broken by her! I heard she even ate his brain! President Fearless is simply a pervert who's freaking strong! I heard only Piece of Sh*t can suppress her in the entire Independent State!”

Ye Wanwan: “…”

She finally saw the power of rumors for herself.

How did she freaking turn into this kind of pervert who even ate the brain of the Ironhead Gang's boss?! She freaking released him, okay?!

“That's nothing. Some time ago, a super awesome senior brother accepted a SS-rank mission to a.s.sa.s.sinate the president of the Martial Arts Union. Guess what happened? Never mind, don't bother… That president looks like he's only in his 20s and has a bewitching face, but he killed that senior brother in a few strikes! I was nearby and saw it myself! It scared me to death!” Li Xin exclaimed.

“The Martial Arts Union's president? What does he look like?”

“Eh… something like… Let me draw him for you guys.”

Li Xin took out a pen and paper and started drawing on the piece of paper.

Everyone promptly evaluated the product upon finis.h.i.+ng.

“This is…” Ye Wanwan's brows furrowed as she stared at the portrait. The man in the portrait looked too similar to someone she knew.

However, Ye Wanwan couldn't recall who it was for the time being. It was a pity that Li Xin's art skills were truly mediocre.

“Do you know? The major factions in the Independent State are too messy! When Worriless Nie from the Nie family went missing, she supposedly ran off to China with some wild man. Later, someone from the Nie family secretly sent a.s.sa.s.sins to China to kill her!” Li Xin said.

“Keep bragging! If something this major was real, all of the Independent State would've known about it by now! How would you know?” A new mercenary snorted.

“Bragging your grandma's a**! One of the a.s.sa.s.sins is a sworn brother of mine; he told me himself! He also said that woman seems to have lost her memories… and can't remember who she is at all! She also got together with some wild man… Anyway, that's what happened,” Li Xin exclaimed indignantly.

“Haha, keep bullsh*ting. Worriless Nie returned a long time ago and she's back with the Nie family right now. That sworn brother of yours is probably nothing but gas and hot air too.”

“Forget it if you don't believe it then.” Li Xin found this conversation dull and didn't want to keep wasting his words.

Li Xin's words sent shock shooting through Ye Wanwan though.
