Chapter 1125 A deal with the bounty hunters

With Ren Xiaosus current strength and vigilance, it was impossible for normal people to steal anything from him without his knowledge.

So the moment someone b.u.mped into him on the street, he took advantage of the situation and allowed the other party to steal his tracker.

The thief had taken possession of a small tracker from Ren Xiaosu, but he did not know what it was, so he could only take it back and hand it to whoever was pulling the strings.

This helped Ren Xiaosu successfully locate where Chen Cheng and the young sorceress, Anan, were hiding.

Chen Cheng and Anan were caught off guard by this. Their original plan was to steal Ren Xiaosus wallet or belongings to learn more about his background.

But instead of finding out anything about him, Ren Xiaosu found their secret residence.

Vaduz was an important city, and the blacksmiths workshop these bounty hunters had set up in Vaduz was actually one of their more important safe houses.

If any of their compatriots encountered danger, they could hide in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the blacksmiths forge until the danger had pa.s.sed.

There was enough food stored in the cellar, as well as a fresh change of ident.i.ty prepared for them.

This safe house was what gave them the confidence to escape being tracked by the magus order over the years.

But now the safe house had been located by Ren Xiaosu. The blacksmith in charge of concealing the safe house had also been knocked out by Ren Xiaosu in a single strike. The burly man, who stood nearly two meters tall, could not even stand up.

Chen Cheng and Anan felt a sense of defeat. Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, You dont have to look so surprised. After all, youve already learned from the sheeple that Im not from the Kingdom of Sorcerers, right? Im afraid that the Central Plains pace of development is probably much faster than yall expected.

Anan was first to regain her composure. Why are you looking for us?

Wait a sec, let me correct you there. Ren Xiaosu found a chair and sat down. Yall deliberately left the trade caravan knowing I was aware and deliberately led me away. I should be the one asking this question. Whyre you looking for me?

Chen Cheng went over and helped the blacksmith up. Then he said to Ren Xiaosu, Who exactly are you? Whats your relations.h.i.+p with Ren He, the rider you mentioned?

Ren Xiaosu gave it some thought. I only relayed the information to yall because I wanted to know what my relations.h.i.+p with him is. So have yall relayed my information to your other companions yet? Can you tell me about your organization and what yall know?

Chen Cheng and Anan looked at each other. Then the young sorceress said, We dont know who the person youre talking about is, but weve heard of the name.

Thats good news. Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, Tell me in more detail.

But we dont know the details yet. We only heard our father and his generations people mention it. If you want to know more, youll have to come with us to Ghent City, Anan said.

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment before smiling happily. Are you trying to lure me to Ghent City to make use of me?

Anans hands that were at rest by her sides suddenly balled up into fists. She always felt the young man in front of her could guess what she was thinking when she spoke with him.

This feeling was really uncomfortable. She was constantly put in a pa.s.sive position.

To be specific, were not trying to make use of you, but we need that person whos protecting you. Hes really strong. Were willing to use him as the foundation for our deal with you. Go to Ghent City and help us with a task, and well tell you what you want to know, Anan said calmly.

Ren Xiaosu thought back for a couple seconds before laughing. Are you referring to the person who killed the fleeing bandits?

So they were thinking about making use of Old Xus combat strength. However, what they did not know was that Old Xu was actually just one of his powers.

Ren Xiaosu did not want to explain either. He believed Old Xu, the pinnacle of close quarters combat, would greatly surprise all the physically weak sorcerers.

Yes. Anans voice turned cold. It doesnt matter if youre unwilling to go to Ghent City, but Im afraid youll have to find out for yourself what you wish to know.

Ren Xiaosu looked at Anan with great interest. I believe that yall dont have any reinforcements here in Vaduz. Since I can locate your hideout and am brave enough to come here alone, where do you get the confidence to talk like this to me?

Anan sneered, We have two sorcerers over here. If you think youre so strong, why dont you try us?

As soon as her words trailed off, Ren Xiaosu rushed Chen Cheng and Anan. He grabbed their necks with his steely hands and forcefully lifted them before slamming them against the walls of the blacksmiths workshop.

In that instant, the Eyes of True Sight Chen Cheng and Anan were furtively holding in their hands dropped to the ground.

Russell had written in the Introduction to Sorcery that when he faced the Central Plains rider, he did not even get a chance to recite any incantations.

If even a talented and experienced archmage like Russell was not able to fight back, there was even less of a chance that young sorcerers like Chen Cheng and Anan could.

Chen Cheng and Anan struggled with all their might, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not break free from Ren Xiaosus control.

Just as the blacksmith and his apprentice were about to sneak an attack on Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu suddenly let go and took a step back, leaving Chen Cheng and Anan to fall to the ground.

Ren Xiaosu s.n.a.t.c.hed the blacksmiths broadsword from his hand and snapped the blade with both hands. You cant even hold your own weapon properly, so dont talk to me about your tactics. Tell your elders that Ill go to Ghent City. And if your goal is to pit yourselves against the sorcerers, lets just say we share a common interest. As for your intention to make use of me, itd be better if you put that on the back burner.

Ren Xiaosu turned around and left the blacksmiths workshop, leaving the blacksmith, Anan, and the others looking at one another.

Before this, they had never come across an enemy as strong as this based purely on physical strength. As such, they were utterly defeated by Ren Xiaosu.

It was also at this moment they understood the young man was actually extremely powerful. Why would such a person be willing to be a fringe sorcerers steward? Whats his goal in coming to the Kingdom of Sorcerers? Chen Cheng said in a daze.

Anan looked unconvinced. She looked at the blacksmith and said, Uncle Gris, please relay this news about him to Ghent City and tell Father and the others to be careful.

Mhm. Gris nodded solemnly. As someone who did physical work, he naturally understood how terrifying the power Ren Xiaosu had just displayed was. Everyone in the organization had to treat this variable that was about to arrive at Ghent City seriously

Ren Xiaosu, having left the blacksmiths shop, heaved a sigh of relief. When he was just about to break the metal sword, he really was a little worried he couldnt do it. Fortunately, the other partys forging skills were not that good.

And thus, another problem came up. Ren Xiaosu had found the blacksmiths workshop with the GPS tracker, but he did not put a tracker on Melgor. He had lost his way.
