Chapter 7 Coercion

  "Open your mouth!"

  A satisfied Dean faced the submissive Mr. Strong, let out a low growl, and as his opponent subconsciously opened his mouth, a black object shot into it - that fishy smell made Jack instinctively know it wasn't something good.

  "This is a...!" Dean lowered his head slightly, allowing the brim of his hat to cast more shadows over his face before continuing in an even lower tone, "A... that requires an antidote every six months - from a certain famous alchemist in the Sky City!"

  Although he had mentally prepared himself, Jack still couldn't help but collapse to the ground upon hearing such an answer. And when he heard the four words "Sky City", his face turned completely pale - even a bandit like him had heard of its great reputation: the gathering place of wizards, Sky City!

  "Now you can put your hand on your stomach, don't you feel a distinct bulge? The wonderful thing about that is the wrapped medicine pouch, which can last for a day without being digested by your gastric juice - of course, you can also try vomiting, because once that medicine pouch comes into contact with the outside after being soaked in gastric juice... whoosh, it will explode right in your mouth! Boom!"

  As he spoke, Dean made an exploding gesture with his hands, causing Jack's whole body to tremble.

  "Sir, I am willing to do anything for you, please give me the antidote!"

  Jack was almost in tears as he pleaded with Dean.

  "Don't worry, if you follow my orders, I'll give you the first antidote. If you do well, giving you a complete detox won't be difficult!"

  Dein gazed down at the robber kneeling before him, his mouth corners slightly upturned in the shadows - Dein was of course deceiving him, the Sky City did exist, and similar medicines had appeared before, but they were just legends; he certainly didn't have it in his hands.

  But what does this count for?

  It's okay as long as the other person believes it!

  "Now, there's one thing you need to go and do - do it well, and the first antidote for half a year will be given to you!"

  With a subtle change in tone, Dean spoke slowly and condescendingly.

  "Alright! Alright, sir!"

  Almost as soon as Dean finished speaking, Jack was nodding hastily.

  ……

  On the other side of Hornstown, about two kilometers away from the original place, surrounded by several tall trees and piles of stones as high as a person, two men sat around a bonfire - those trees and piled-up stones not only effectively blocked the line of sight from Hornstown, but also obscured the firelight.

  In fact, two kilometers away, unless some godly shooter; otherwise, no one can discover the slightest light here, which also makes this strong thief Hidle feel at ease to enjoy the warmth brought by the flames. However, thinking that he can only sit in the wilderness and roast a fire, while Jack and Sado, those two guys, can live in comfortable rooms, eat delicious food, and drink mellow wine, the heart of this strong thief Hidle begins to become unbalanced.

  Of course, such an imbalance, he dare not show on his face; after all, this is the task of Basoum faction sitting opposite - although they are all under the command of that 'Wild Fox' Mite, but this ordinary subordinate and Basoum who was treated as left and right arm compared to, really is too far apart.

  From this task, it's clear that he is the leader, and both Jack and the others are under him, so you can see their positions.

  However, Hidler did not dare to have any dissatisfaction with this; after all, the Basoum in front of him was known for having a strength close to that of a knight - and the bandits they had killed along the way were the best proof; facing the powerful Basoum, Hidler did not dare to disobey.

  "Boss, how much longer do we have to wait?"

  Although he didn't dare to have any complaints, Shide couldn't wait a moment longer in this completely wild environment. He wanted to return to the Janl territory of Wobang County as soon as possible; at least there, he could take a hot bath and own a warm quilt.

  Basoum didn't directly respond to Hider, but instead gave him a cold stare. Suddenly, it made Hider shiver and wisely choose not to speak again, focusing his gaze on the bonfire in front of him. After seeing Hider's actions, Basoum hummed a cold tone in his heart and withdrew his gaze.

  "What a lazybones!"

  Basoum thought with disdain in his heart.

  As Mitt's top subordinate, he is very clear about what his boss wants to do; or, it is precisely because of this understanding that he can become Mitt's top subordinate, and Basoum is very satisfied with his current position.

  Because he knew that once this task was completed, it would be his time to soar.

  At that time, he who followed behind Mitte was no longer a bandit, but Mr. Basum!

  That's right, it's Basoum-sama, a title of respect that only true nobles can have.

  The scene in his mind made Basoum subconsciously glance at the hidden objects in the distance, and the secret that left no trace made the corner of Basoum's mouth rise unconsciously.

  However, even so, Basoum did not completely let his guard down. When the faint sound of footsteps came from afar, he immediately stood up, picked up the long sword beside him, and stood behind a tree in one turn; Hidle was no slower, imitating Basoum's appearance, standing behind another tree, but in his hand was a crossbow - a crossbow with an arrow on it, although slightly old-fashioned, the arrowhead was still sharp.

  "Who?!"

  After seeing Basoum's gesture, Xide asked in a low voice.

  "I'm Jack!"

  A slightly panting reply, that familiar voice, made Hyde's tense body relax slightly, and then he looked at Basoum; the latter did not come out from behind the tree, but instead made another gesture to Hyde to go out and explore. Looking at this gesture, Hyde reluctantly came out from behind the tree, slowly moving towards the outside, with his crossbow tightly held in his hand, his heart that had just calmed down was once again raised.

  It is clear that at any time, being a pioneer will be a dangerous job.

  Although he had cursed Basoum's maternal relatives, Xide Li still had to come out - as long as he wanted to mix in the Zhaner Territory of Wobang County.

  "Xidelie, what's taking you so long? Hurry up and come help move the boxes, Saduo got stabbed in the belly and my hand is injured too!"

  Jack's voice came again, and he was closer this time.

  "Wait! Stand there and let me see you!"

  Xide Li did not immediately approach, but out of caution, he shouted loudly - in fact, such caution was more for Basoum to see.

  But Basoum was completely unmoved, and his body didn't even flinch behind the tree; after all, in Basoum's view, he who was about to become a noble was much more dignified than these plebeians; let alone a group of plebeians with notorious reputations!

  Their ultimate value is just enough to become his merit.

  The number of people who can soar to great heights is forever limited, and apart from his boss and himself, the rest of the people will obviously only get another demotion.

  So Basoum didn't care whether the person in front of him was dead or alive; whether it was Hideri by his side, or Jack and Sado who had come over, they were all the same.

  However, out of consideration for his own life, he still carefully dealt with the situation in front of him.

  "Xidelie, are you doing this on purpose? If my hand is crippled, I'll definitely kill you!"

  Jack was furious, but he stood still and didn't come any closer. He took another step back to let Sid look more clearly. And the Sado he supported also came out, but because of his serious injury, Sado's head kept leaning on Jack's shoulder, making it impossible for people to see his true face.

  But as soon as they arrived at a place without any shade, Jack's tone became increasingly impatient: "Do you see that? It's me and Sado!"

  "Look carefully! Look carefully!"

  Shedrack carefully identified the other party, and when he saw Jack's face clearly, as well as the box in Jack's hand, especially the latter, Shedrack greedily licked his lips, and the vigilance that had been made was gone - He heard clearly, when Jack moved out of the shadow, the crisp sound from the box, it was Kimpton's voice, Shedrack could confirm completely!

  Even in his dreams, he would not forget such a wonderful, as if magical voice; and this magic was what made the long-awaited robber, after making a safe gesture to Basoum behind the tree, rush up eagerly.

  "What's going on, there are two hundred gold pounds in here! According to the rules, Sadu and I get 20%!" Jack swiftly brushed aside Hidle's hands and rushed to the bonfire at an even faster speed, shouting loudly: "Lord Basoum, that fat sheep is really rich - just the chests by his bed have two hundred gold pounds inside!"

  As Jack's last words seemed to carry an infinite magic, the bonfire side became quiet.
