Competing for Capital
However, when he thought of his clever disciple, the old man's face was full of love.
The Old Man found the rare Bull Demon Body. That kid's future was limitless.
"No, I have to go down the mountain myself!"
Although he sent his eldest disciple out, the old man was still worried.
His eldest disciple was too honest. He was simply a block of wood.
Tsiogua was clever. He wouldn't even know how he killed his eldest disciple.
If he didn't go down the mountain himself, the old man wouldn't be at ease.
His little disciple was more important than his life. He couldn't let anything happen to him.
… …
Qin Hao and Tsiogua returned to Exploding Flame City. If they wanted to take back the Red Lotus Fire, they needed to have tools to control the fire.
For safety's sake, the two of them changed their clothes and changed their appearances.
Qin Hao stored a lot of things in his interspatial ring. Even the bags from home were stuffed inside.
When they returned to the city, they still used the pseudonyms of Li Bai and Li Xiaoyao.
However, compared to a month ago, the security in the city was much higher.
"Big brother, it's very sweet. Here's one for you!"
Tsiogua gave Qin Hao a stick of candied haws.
Qin Hao didn't hesitate. He took the stick of candied haws and took a bite. He pulled Tsiogua to hide in a corner. He stuck his head out and scanned the street. He said while eating, "Strange. The security is so strong. The Lupus Mercenary Group is asking passersby about the portraits. Have we been discovered?"
In fact, he guessed right. After Zhou Shentong came back, he immediately found someone to draw Qin Hao and Tsiogua's portraits. He was now searching for them all over the city.
However, it wasn't the Lupus Mercenary Group that was on guard today. It was the number one mercenary group in Exploding Flame City, the Raging Bear Mercenary Group.
Therefore, the Lupus Mercenary Group didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"We'll know once we catch someone and ask!" Tsiogua finished eating the candied haws and wiped his hands on his butt.
Qin Hao nodded. Now that the sun was setting, under the cover of the restaurant, they could catch a Lupus Mercenary Group member and ask.
Just as he was about to make a move.
At this moment, a group of mighty patrolling soldiers walked over. It was the Wild Bear Mercenary Group.
What surprised Qin Hao was that he recognized the leader. It was the man who sold blackstones.
Whoosh!
Qin Hao picked up a stone and threw it, hitting the black stone man's foot.
The man frowned and stopped walking. He looked around and found Qin Hao's head in the dark.
"You guys go over there. You guys keep an eye on the Lupus Mercenary Group. If those bastards dare to be arrogant, we'll teach them a lesson!"
The black-stoned man ordered.
"Hahaha …"
The group behind him laughed.
Huo Jun was right. Today, the Raging Bear Mercenary Group was on duty. If the bastards of the Lupus Mercenary Group dared to collect protection fees in private, he wouldn't mind crippling them.
Moreover, these men all knew that Huo Jun and the Lupus Mercenaries had a grudge against each other because of what happened to Zhou Botong a month ago.
However, the little silver worm Zhou Botong was already dead.
Because of this incident, Huo Jun was recognized by Lord Qi and was fortunate enough to join the Raging Bear Mercenary Group and become the leader.
"Brothers, let's go!"
"Let's go teach those bastards a lesson!"
"Hahaha!"
The men put their arms around each other's shoulders and scattered.
Huo Jun took this opportunity to run towards Qin Hao. Surprisingly, his movements were abnormally agile and his skills weren't weak.
"Little brother, is that you?
How dare you come back? Quickly leave! "
Once they met, Huo Jun was burning with anxiety and urged Qin Hao to leave quickly.
Qin Hao was startled: "You actually recognized me!"
Huo Jun shook his head and pointed at the ponytail on Qin Hao's head.
Although Qin Hao had changed his appearance, the ponytail on his head was too conspicuous.
Moreover, there was an indescribable aura around him. It gave people a sense of arrogance, just like …
Just like a former king!
Although this feeling was absurd, even Huo Jun found it laughable.
However, he did have such a feeling.
Qin Hao gave Huo Jun a thumbs up and immediately loosened the ponytail on his head.
Although he was a little careless.
But he could tell that Huo Jun was a shrewd person.
"That day, I was indebted to you for buying my rotten stones for three thousand taels of silver. I have already settled the families of my brothers. Thank you very much …"
Huo Jun's eyes were filled with gratitude as he recounted what happened after Qin Hao left the city.
Because Qin Hao took Zhou Botong's money and threw it to the passersby.
None of the passersby snitched. They all insisted that it was Bai Zihua who killed Zhou Botong and messed up the information of the Lupus Mercenary Group.
This was also because Zhou Botong's character was too bad. He was usually tyrannical and used his power to bully others.
Everyone was happy that Qin Hao got rid of this scourge.
Because of this, Master Qi of the Raging Bear Mercenary Group valued Huo Jun and promoted him to a squad leader.
After all, there were not many people who dared to go against the Lupus Mercenary Group. That day, Huo Jun fought with Zhou Botong's men to protect Qin Hao.
Speaking of which, it was Qin Hao's credit!
"No, no, no. Brother Huo became a squad leader with his own ability. It has nothing to do with me!" Qin Hao said modestly. He also knew Huo Jun's name from the conversation just now.
"No, no, no. Brother, you are too honest. I was only valued by Master Qi because of your luck.
Also, my rotten stone, I'm really sorry … "
Huo Jun's face was full of embarrassment when he mentioned the stone.
Qin Hao was a righteous person. He was generous and treated money like dirt. He was really a young hero, a role model for the people, an idol for men, a dream lover for girls, and a good husband for the people …
Long live Qin Hao!
Huo Jun almost raised his arms and cheered!
"Cough, cough … Excuse me, is Master Qi the number one protector of the Raging Bear Mercenary Group, recognized as the number one master in Exploding Flame City?" Tsiogua asked.
"Yes, it is Master Qi Daxiong …" Huo Jun's face was full of excitement when he mentioned his benefactor. Then, he frowned and pointed at Tsiogua in front of him, "Who are you?"
"Oh oh oh, he's my younger brother, Li Xiao Yao …" Qin Hao hurriedly explained.
At the same time, he felt guilty towards Huo Jun. How could the Void Spirit Stone be a rotten stone?
A mere three thousand taels was not worth mentioning. Brother Huo, sorry.
"No, my surname is also Qi …" Tsiogua proudly raised his head and said his real name.
"Aiya, what a coincidence, our family's Lord Qi is also surnamed Qi …" When Huo Jun heard that Qi Xiaogua's surname was Qi, he couldn't help but have a good impression of him. Qi Daxiong was his benefactor, and the Qi family was like a family.
"Let's not talk about this. Brother Huo, do you know where the black market auction is in the city?" Qin Hao went back to the topic. There was no time to waste.
"Brother, hurry up and leave. What black market auction? Zhou Shentong found you!"
Huo Jun was extremely anxious. He didn't know which bastard had reported Qin Hao. If they were caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Brother Huo, don't worry. I have my ways to deal with Zhou Shentong. You just need to tell me where the black market auction is!"
Qin Hao didn't care about Zhou Shentong at all. It didn't matter how Zhou Shentong knew his identity.
"Brother, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Zhou Shentong is an elder of the Lupus Mercenary Group. He has a prominent position and is in the third layer of Element Gathering Tier.
Although I've recovered from my injuries and regained the battle power of the seventh layer of Body Tempering Tier, I still can't protect you. I'm only a small team leader. Hurry up and leave! "Huo Jun was so anxious that sweat started to form on his forehead. This place was too dangerous.
"My brother doesn't need your protection because … he's in the eighth layer of Body Tempering Tier. He's not an ordinary one. He killed two level nine ferocious beasts by himself …"
Tsiogua proudly raised his head, as if he was the one who killed the level nine ferocious beasts.
