99 I… I Have Nothing To Repay

“I knew this kid wanted to make a move!”

Hanks looked at An Kai, who put away his [Brute Force Staff] after seeing his sincerity. He suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had always kept this up his sleeve.

It was to prevent An Kai from suddenly returning to outer chaos city.

It was like a husband saving some private money in an envelope with the label ‘money to buy xxx for my wife’.

If he weren’t found out, he would never buy this ” XXx “. If he were found out, he wouldn’t be scolded. Instead, he would be praised.

An Kai took the account book and threw it to Wayne, who had been in a daze. “Check the number.”

Wayne took the account book and nodded in a daze. There was still no interest in his eyes.

“Whoa! Boss! Is this your son?”

Nurnisius, who followed behind, exclaimed in shock when he saw Hanks.

This made Hanks very unhappy. After he looked at the big black rat, he muttered in his heart, “What method should I use to let An Kai kill this big black rat?”

“He is not Teacher’s son. No matter how you look at it, the two of them are not related by blood.” Wayne, who was flipping through the account book, raised his head and corrected Nurnisius’ mistake regarding the relationship between An Kai and Hanks.

“How is that possible? He looks too similar to Boss!” Nurnisius pretended to be surprised and teased Hanks. He looked at Hanks and clicked his tongue.

He muttered, “He called Boss ‘father’, so what should he call me? Master Dragon?”

Yes, Hanks was sure that this damned rat was going to be annoying.

If it weren’t for An Kai, Hanks would have already slashed at him!

Hanks was prepared to wait for An Kai to finish inspecting the harvest before he thought of a way to get him to smack this annoying big black rat to death.

Wayne glanced at Nurnisius, shook his head gently, and did not answer.

In his heart, Nurnisius had long been labelled as a ” stupid magical beast.”

Wayne’s rule of life was to never argue with “stupid” people or magical beasts. Doing so would only waste his useless time and not gain anything else.

Wayne understood that even if he said that his teacher’s current appearance was not his original appearance, that stupid big black rat would still argue.

Not long after, An Kai confirmed that there were a total of 11235 gold coins in the nine boxes.

After the inspection was completed, and Wayne replied that there were no problems with the records, An Kai stood up with a warm smile on his face. “Hanks, I haven’t seen you for many years.”

“Little Master, I miss you too!”

Hanks was as excited as An Kai as if he really missed An Kai.

However, Hanks was very clear in his heart. “Miss me? I think you’re missing my magic Stone!

“By the way, did this kid use up all his magic stones again? There were so many magic gems. How long had it been? Two years?

“This speed of improvement is really terrifying!”

After so many years, Hanks had already understood An Kai.

An Kai was the kind of person who would disappear with resources and appear without them.

Now that he had reappeared, Hanks could guess with his eyes closed that it was for resources.

But…

Now that An Kai had returned to the outer Chaos City, Hanks didn’t want An Kai to leave so soon. He was prepared to use An kai to deal with the aristocratic forces from the Seven Countries.

“Hanks, you know what I want. Take these gold coins.”

Hanks thought to himself, “As expected!”

Just as he was about to speak and use the excuse of not having enough magic stones to delay An Kai’s stay, he heard An Kai suddenly say,

“Oh right, you can move out. This time, I’m not going to leave. I’ll stay here from now on.”

“Ah?”

“What’s wrong? Are you not moving?”

An Kai took out the [Brute Force Staff] again and weighed it in his hand.

“No. Are you not leaving this time?”

“I’m not leaving.”

“Then…What if the enemy attacks?”

“Enemies? Tsk!”

An Kai did not explain further.

Would the enemies include Stage 5 Orcs, the lord of Chaos City or the Undead Town?

Other than them, what other enemies would An Kai be afraid of?

Mason was a rank 5 assassin, and he was guarding this place. He was not bad either. If the enemy was a Stage 4 adventurer, he could suppress them with a flip of his hand.

In the current desert, due to the turmoil in the surrounding seven countries, countless adventurers flooded into the desert, raising the average level.

However, a Stage 4 adventurer was still powerful.

Stage 5 was a legendary powerhouse!

Furthermore, An Kai didn’t think that he had provoked those Stage 5 powerhouses.

After all, he was only a small mage at Stage 1 Rank 1.

Even if they did, would they send a Stage 5 adventurer to face a Stage 1 mage?

Therefore, An Kai would not leave the outer Chaos City unless those Stage 5 adventurers came.

His plan was simple.

That was to restore the former prosperity of the outer chaos city, open up travel routes, and set new rules in the city.

As for him, he lived in seclusion behind the scenes and collected the future ‘protection fee’, or rather, taxes.

While he was in seclusion in the Mage Tower, An Kai had been thinking about how he could obtain resources.

Relying on methods such as robbery was not a long-term solution. In addition, his current spell upgrade required ten times more resources.

It was possible that this number would continue to double in the future.

Therefore, An Kai needed a stable force to provide him with resources and support him to become stronger without stopping.

Thinking about it, the outer chaos city was the best target.

They were in the desert and were not disturbed by the war.

Furthermore, the foundation of the city was already there.

They had all the necessary personnel and buildings. They only needed to set the rules and resume trade after taking over.

For example, An Kai was not only considering selling the resources in the hands of the residents in Outer Chaos City, but also trading with these travel merchants.

He hoped that he could find a new way to exchange gold coins and magic gems from the other Seven Countries.

Moreover, the exchange ratio had to be appropriate.

As time passed, Hanks’ state visibly aged.

After he died, would An Kai not be able to upgrade his spell level?

Therefore, finding a way to replace Hanks was the most important thing for An Kai to do when he entered the city.

“Hanks, don’t be in a hurry to pack up. I have something to discuss with you. If this matter is done well, it will be a business worth millions!”

Hanks, who was about to pack his luggage, was stunned. He looked at An Kai with only one meaning in his eyes. “I don’t believe you.”

“You don’t believe me? Hanks, ask yourself, when have I ever lied?”

An Kai didn’t explain further. If it was really as he had expected and the outer Chaos City was built as planned, just the tax revenue alone would reach a million!

With his hands behind his back, An Kai walked towards the main hall of the Evergreen Sect.

Behind him was Wayne, who had a stunned expression on his face, and Nurnisius, who was following behind him at a saggy pace.

When he passed by Hanks, he did not forget to tease him, “Remember, next time you see me, call me Uncle Dragon ~”

As Nurnisius finished speaking, he walked toward the hall.

Who knew that just as he was about to enter the hall…

Bang!

An Kai kicked Nurnisius out of the hall. “Go and guard the door!”

Coincidentally, Nurnisius fell beside Hanks.

Hanks laughed and muttered, “So you’re a guard dog.”

Then, he held his head high and walked towards the main hall.

“Just you wait. How dare you dare mock the master dragon?”

Nurnisius stared hatefully in the direction Hanks had left, gritting his teeth.

For some reason, he didn’t like Hanks the moment he saw him.

He had a feeling that this old thing would be his opponent to compete for the number one lackey under his boss.

Looking at it now, he had guessed correctly.

He entered the main hall.

An Kai had already sat down on the chair in the middle.

When Hanks came in, he immediately said, “Hanks, how many residents are left in our chaos city?”

Hanks paused and thought for a moment before he said, “Before the refugees from the seven countries arrived, there were still about 1000 people left. Now that there are refugees from the seven countries, the number has reached about 4000.”

“So little? Why were there only 1000 residents in the original city?”

An Kai was surprised. Hanks, who was standing at the door, looked at An Kai strangely.

“Isn’t it all thanks to you? You were the one who killed them, drove them away.”

Unfortunately, Hanks didn’t say this out loud.

He didn’t know what An Kai was planning to do. If he spoke rashly, who knew if he would make An Kai unhappy and vent his anger on him?

“4000 people.” An Kai mumbled. He finally understood why Hanks had only paid 11235 gold coins for nine months.

He estimated that there were only a handful of people who could pay 5 gold coins a month as protection fees.

Most of them probably fled into the desert when they needed to pay the fees, hiding for a period of time before returning.

If they encountered danger, they would never be able to return to Chaos City.

If it weren’t for the fact that they had no money, they wouldn’t have chosen to escape to the desert and risk their life to avoid the collection of protection fees.

“Sigh! Seeing these people living a bad life, my heart hurts!

“As humans, how can we not help each other at this moment?

“Now that I have the strength, I think I should contribute to the future of our desert human race!”

An Kai stood up and spoke like a saint who pitied the heavens.

Hanks was rendered speechless. After a few seconds, he finally said dryly, “Little Master is righteous.”

Wayne, on the other hand, was different. Hearing his teacher’s words, he asked directly, “Teacher, is there anything you need me to do?”

Hearing Wayne’s words, An Kai didn’t hesitate and directly said the plan he had long thought of in his heart, “There really is.

“I want to borrow your Shaq Kingdom’s royal family to prove myself. I want to use him to open up a route between the Seven Countries and this place.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wayne took out a nameplate. This was the proof of his position in Shaq Kingdom.

He walked in front of An Kai and handed it to him. “If Teacher needs it, feel free to take it.”

“The royal family of the Shaq Kingdom?”

Hanks shrunk his neck when he heard this.

“Hanks, you don’t have to shrink back. I’ve already pleaded for you, and the Kingdom of Shaq won’t pursue your past mistakes.”

Hanks was stunned. He looked at An Kai with confusion.

To be honest, he didn’t quite understand.

It felt like An Kai’s behaviour had become more and more…confusing.

“Teacher is right. As the Crown Prince of the Shaq Kingdom, I promise you that our Shaq Kingdom will not pursue your mistakes.”

Hearing Wayne, Hanks’ heart skipped a beat.

He understood that An Kai had something for him to do!

Otherwise, why would he be so kind?

“Thank you. Thank you.

“Little Master… I can’t repay you.”

“Hanks, what are you talking about? Don’t be so humble. How can you not repay me?”

At this moment, looking at An Kai’s smile, Hanks suddenly had the thought of running away.
