If you kill us, you’ll definitely be in trouble!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thug in his grasp was trembling, trying to turn his already small brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s fierce style, grabbing someone like a ragdoll and beating them up before saying a word, made the small-time thug genuinely feel he could be crushed to death at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although reason told him that this place was close to the trade district; if someone were to commit murder here, neither Vizima’s city defense force nor the security force would let it slide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fear, that is something not governed by reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the [Yakxi Rune] intensified it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do the dock workers and the unloaders near the city gate have any management organization? Either official or unofficial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The King’s... the King’s accountant only cares about the tax, nothing else. The workers... the laborers are under our Snake Fang Gang, and we take a fifth of every copper they earn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snake Fang Gang? What a cliché name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tacky name even made Lann feel a discomfort from the inside out, grinding his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who handles the accounting in your gang, and where do they usually appear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rong Ge... I only remember him giving me money, as for the gang’s accounts... I don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the hood, a pair of long, beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, the accounts of a gang are indeed a top secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, who manages the accounts is not something these low-level hoodlums on the street would know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then just tell me about Rong Ge, where can he be found?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once he gets the money, he’ll go to the House of Night. That’s the best brothel in Vizima! But right now, it’s impossible to find him there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s still about the accounts... Five days ago, all gang accountants were taken away for a big reconciliation, regardless of their size.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the eyebrows under the hood weren’t just slightly furrowed but knit tightly into a knot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days ago... to say that this coincidental timing has no hidden tricks, Lann might as well worship Meretelli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the traffickers have even the lowest laborers managed seamlessly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>... Could a national espionage agency really achieve this level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper the investigation, the more terrifying the scale of the opposing force becomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also why, in this world, Warlocks who have extraordinary powers must negotiate friendly terms with Kings and even submit to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the extraordinary is limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even someone as powerful as Alzur, whose summoned giant centipede can destroy half a city block!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when faced with truly all-pervasive power and money, and behind those two, what really works - human desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Mana seems insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manipulating human hearts triumphs over manipulating magical power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the truth of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lann is not from this world, and he has witnessed the terrifying extent of what true power can achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, the young Demon Hunter is not disheartened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then give me the name of a worker, one who works the most, with the highest frequency of work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the management organization of laborers is well-handled, why not explore deeper!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll directly find the people who transport the goods!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be-Belengar... that guy, like you, doesn’t like looking up at people. He lives in the Temple District...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the hood, slender lips curled into a satisfied arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, a tall and robust cloaked man walked out of the alley. As he stepped from the shadows into the sunlight, he instinctively brushed off his not-dirty clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him in the alley, two dazed thugs were piled on a puddle of vomit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they wake up, they’ll just think they had a quarrel and, in a fit of emotion, fought in the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The willpower of two city thugs pales in comparison to blood-faced warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the thug’s information, through the chaotic and winding self-built houses, Lann quickly found the target’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he reached the door, the noise inside the house made him stop with pursed lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! My warrior! Oh!...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is obviously a bachelor’s place, and the bold voice inside belongs to a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mentos... block it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, I do not recommend you doing this. Firstly, it helps in overcoming your shy mentality. Secondly, it is evident that this worker’s physical condition is extraordinary just by listening; we should not abandon this clue for emotional reasons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, starting his path in the patching-up business, even without greetings, the biological smart brain spoke on its own volition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the hood, Lann had no expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It sounds like your second reason was just made up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, not at all, you cannot unfoundedly speculate against a loyal and devoted smart brain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, I’ll truly listen then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lady inside had decent skills, at least in terms of \"satisfying a customer with voice alone\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the noise that made the young man want to dig at his nails ended in less than two minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barely clothed woman, trying to put on the little clothing she had, eagerly left before fully dressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still clutching a money bag, she shouted back at the room while smiling, \"Call me again next time; I’ll give you a discount, my warrior!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann stood against the wall the whole time, breathing long and quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the angle, the woman didn’t even notice his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman turned and left, as a hand clad in studded leather gloves kept the door from automatically closing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, the tall figure slipped smoothly into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was very simple, and a man of indiscernible age lay shirtless on the bed, his skin covered in many hideous scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, Lann’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These scars... were they left by monsters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you still here? What I gave should be enough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man recognized someone else had entered his home without opening his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belengar is no ordinary laborer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann couldn’t believe that in such a delicate time, under such a conspiratorial net, this unusual character could appear purely by coincidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the young man simply charged straight up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t draw a sword or use the pyramidal spikes on the front of his gloves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he opened his palm, aiming the heel towards the opponent’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man lounging lazily on the bed in reminiscence of the afterglow suddenly awoke the instant Lann made his aggressive move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the surprised face of the young man, he opened his glowing, cat-like eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>... Demon Hunter?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s hand, responsible for the strike, jerked back and raised to guard his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense impact hit him, almost causing his 200-kilogram frame to lift off the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy’s rune-casting speed... is a level faster than mine?! So proficient!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lann marveled at the opponent’s proficiency in rune-casting, the opponent was even more surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belengar maintained the rune-casting gesture while trying to prop himself up from the bed and adjust his battle stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a spell variant of the Wolf School Demon Hunter, able to transform [Alder’s Rune] into a method for providing sustained forward force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the young cub of the Bear School opposite... he blocked it with just his arm... and was fine?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprise had no time for expression as Belengar’s cat eyes contracted into a thin line from something even more absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid is charging through [Alder] head-on!\u003C\u002Fp>",1248,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.941Z",1,"novelbin.me","5533d9531b9aab3a4f9a7c319da8ba46d0b78b950b5b05c7dafbb5128996e2e9","bear-school-astartes-chapter-94","bear-school-astartes-chapter-34",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
