Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035: In this world, be smart and suffer less!

"Could you hurry it up?"

Zaire Schneider stopped in his tracks, urging with an impatient expression.

Carson Flores explained with an awkward face, "Sorry, I’m only at Nascent Soul strength, could you slow down a bit?"

Zaire Schneider asked in confusion, "I’ve asked before, wasn’t it a True Form Realm Green Wolf Monster that used to occupy this place? Weren’t you the one who killed it, while at the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Carson Flores explained, "I used some strategies, otherwise, how could I be a match for him?"

Zaire Schneider suddenly realized, "No wonder, I was inquiring before and found it odd, how you managed to take down the Green Wolf Monster."

"You’re quite the man, but you did cause us to miss out on a good amount of income."

Carson Flores asked in puzzlement, "How so?"

Zaire Schneider laughed, "We’ve been active in this area recently, and heard from a merchant that Greown City has been taken over by a group of the Demon Race. These demons were causing chaos in Greown City, and the boss immediately decided to hit Greown City."

Carson Flores blinked, "Hit it how?"

Zaire Schneider laughed heartily, "Just lay into them directly, kill those demons, and then ask for a large sum of money from the wealthy families in the city as a hardship fee, after all, we did help them by killing those demons, don’t they owe us some extra money?"

Carson Flores felt mildly surprised, a hardship fee?

Although this was still extortion, you guys are bandits, after overthrowing the City Lord and occupying the city, shouldn’t you be cleaning out the wealthy families, even committing genocide?

Zaire Schneider, seeing the look of surprise on Carson Flores’s face, laughed, "Our boss has always hated the Demon Race the most. We’ll rob, sure, but if demons cross his path, they’re all on a one-way street to death."

Carson Flores complemented with a smile, "King Duncan, what a real man!"

Zaire Schneider burst into laughter, "You can save those words for when you meet the boss in person, who knows, he might be so pleased he gives you a discount."

Carson Flores felt an increasingly strange sensation, robbery with a discount?

You guys really are carefree.

Carson Flores followed behind Zaire Schneider, carefully asking, "I’ve heard people say, ’wherever the Bandit King passes, not even the chickens and dogs are spared.’ But King Duncan seems a bit different, doesn’t he?"

"Our boss, hey..."

Zaire Schneider suddenly paused, his tone turning a bit colder, "Stop trying to get chummy, if the payoff is lacking, we let you off the hook, but if it’s not enough, you’ll understand what ’not even the chickens and dogs are spared’ truly means!"

Carson Flores quickly responded, "It’s enough, enough, not a Spirit Stone missing, how dare we not take your demands seriously?"

Zaire Schneider’s expression eased slightly, "That’s more like it, pay up for peace of mind. In this world, be smart, suffer less."

Carson Flores replied, "Yes indeed, by the way, big brother Zaire, you guys are so powerful, why not just take over some cities and settle down, earn Spirit Stones legitimately?"

Zaire Schneider sneered, "Earned money is not as fast as stolen money, besides, making too many enemies, once we settle down, the Great Sects or ancient families might come knocking, and no matter how formidable the boss is, he’s just one man, it’s all over then, isn’t it?"

Carson Flores nodded in agreement, seemingly understanding while internally pondering that King Duncan’s forces must not be that strong.

King Duncan might be powerful, but from the sounds of it, he’s the only one with significant strength in his crew, the rest are much weaker. Faced with real powerhouses, they couldn’t hold their ground, that’s why they dare not settle down and instead keep wandering and launching guerrilla attacks.

Of course, one thing he said was definitely true, honest Spirit Stone earnings can’t compare to the swiftness of robbery.

The distance was farther than Carson Flores had anticipated, taking half a day’s flight to reach the destination.

At the base of an inconspicuous low hill, there stood a simple camp, with a group of people gathered round, shouting and betting in gambling, while another group sat drinking.

"Zaire the Sixth, why have you brought someone back with you?"

Whether drinking, gambling, or sunbathing, everyone turned their heads, their gazes uniformly falling on Carson Flores, sizing him up top to bottom as if eyeing a lamb that had walked into a pack of wolves.

Zaire Schneider smiled, "Conner Flores, the City Lord of Greown City. He said he’s afraid I’m a swindler, so he wants to confirm I am with King Duncan before he’s willing to pay the protection fee, so I brought him over."

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s interest peaked. The gamblers stopped, the drinkers put down their cups, and they all crowded around.

"Yo, fresh-faced and tender-skinned, so young to be a City Lord, eh?"

"Weren’t they saying it was a Wolf Demon that occupied the place before? How come it’s turned into a greenhorn kid?"

"Got some guts, eh? Not even scared when facing us."

From the front, a magical treasure tent that looked like a small pavilion opened, and a towering, broad-shouldered man over two meters tall walked out, bald-headed, with his upper body bare and his muscles well-defined. Strangely, his body was marked with special Formation Patterns.

"Kid, you wanted to see me?"

The muscular giant laughed at Carson Flores, "Other people run away when they hear the names of the eight kings, but today is an eye-opener, there’s actually someone who isn’t scared and delivers himself to the door."

Carson Flores smiled, "Are you King Duncan, Kellan Gentry?"

The muscular giant grinned, "That’s right, it’s me, the one and only Vajra Bandit King. Are you convinced now?"
