Chapter 115: The Violent Bear Mercenary Corps' Long, Hard Vigil for Su Yang

"I knew it. Sooner or later, I'd definitely find him. After nearly a month, I've finally picked up his trail!" Tong Yaoyun said viciously. "I mean, why didn't any similar scent show up around Violent Shoals? Turns out he came here to kill Bronze Bulls."

"Regimental Commander Tong, rest assured—we'll definitely find him!"

The Golden Hound began searching the area for Su Yang's scent, and they soon found several Bronze Bull corpses.

"Excellent. Since he likes killing Bronze Bulls, we'll camp right here and ambush him. I'm going to tear him into ten thousand pieces!"

Su Yang returned to the military camp, processed his leave paperwork, and took three days off on the spot.

Perhaps it was a habit from his past life—Su Yang always felt he was cheating himself if he didn't take all three days.

After greeting Sang Yue and the others, he shouldered the bull leg, took a military vehicle to the subway station, and rode the Earthworm Subway back to Seven Star City.

By the time he got home, evening was approaching.

He knocked on the door; the one who opened it was Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao gave Su Yang a bear hug right away!

But after stepping inside, Su Yang ran into a guest he hadn't expected at all.

"Su Wan!"

Su Wan sat on the sofa, with three cups of clear tea on the coffee table.

"Su Yang, you're back from leave today?"

"Yes, I'm back!"

Su Yang looked toward his mother, Zhang Xiuru.

Zhang Xiuru stood up with a beaming smile and said, "Son, did you get hurt?"

"No, how could I possibly get hurt? The work over there on our side is still pretty relaxed!"

"Auntie Zhang, I still have some things to take care of at home, so I'll head back first!"

"Won't you stay for dinner?"

"No need. Su Yang just got back today—you all should have a proper family gathering!"

Su Wan waved at Su Yang with a smile, then left very gracefully.

"Mom, what was she…"

Zhang Xiuru laughed and said, "After we moved here, that girl Su Wan has helped our family out a lot!"

Su Xiaoxiao piped up beside them, "Sister Wan is really nice—she even brought me lots of delicious snacks!"

That girl had clearly been bought off by Su Wan!

"Oh!"

"I heard from Su Wan that she's still your classmate?"

"Yes, she really is my classmate!"

Saying it that way wasn't exactly wrong!

Still, seeing his mother's beaming expression, Su Yang added, "But she's my third-year classmate—three years older than me!"

Who would have thought Zhang Xiuru would just beam and say, "Only three years older? Being three years older is fine too!"

Fine how, exactly?

Su Yang shook his head helplessly and decided to tell his mother the truth: "Mom, Su Wan is also the daughter of our Seven Star City Lord!"

Zhang Xiuru exclaimed in surprise, "What!"

In Zhang Xiuru's eyes, the daughter of Seven Star City's lord was absolutely someone of lofty status!

"No way?" Su Xiaoxiao gasped. "Sister Wan's father is that amazing?"

"He really is that amazing!" Su Yang nodded. "But you don't need to pay too much attention to her status—just treat her like an ordinary friend!"

Su Yang knew that Zhang Xiuru and Su Xiaoxiao had just moved to the inner city district, and if they didn't know a single person, they would inevitably feel a bit lonely.

Su Yang spent his three days of leave at home, happily brewing a pot of tea every day and basking in the sun in the garden.

He felt as if he were already living a retiree's life.

Su Wan also came to look for him; the two of them chatted back and forth, in fits and starts.

Su Wan was very curious about Su Yang's life in the military camp, and Su Yang told her a bit about hunting fierce beasts.

How should I put it?

Actually, Su Yang still had quite a good impression of Su Wan.

Su Wan's looks were absolutely beyond reproach—very beautiful!

And her personality was quite nice too.

Warm and generous—not the type of girl who keeps everything bottled up inside.

Being with a girl like that, Su Yang felt relaxed and happy.

Su Yang had no idea that while he was staying in the inner city's safe zone, enjoying a leisurely life with beautiful company, a group of people were lying in wait in the Bronze Bull herd's territory, enduring a long, hard vigil for him…

One day passed.

Two days passed…

This squad from the Violent Bear Mercenary Corps began to doubt their very existence.

Tong Yaoyun said with a dark expression, "Huaming, how did the search go?"

The beast-tamer named Huaming who owned the Golden Hound replied, "There are over a dozen beast-tamers active nearby, but none of them are the person we're looking for!"

Tong Yaoyun said through gritted teeth, "It's already been two days!"

"Yeah, already two days!" Huayi said helplessly. "Regimental Commander, my lord, do you think that bastard might have switched to hunting fierce beasts somewhere else again?"

That was actually quite possible.

After all, that "bastard" did have a prior record.

"Then we'll wait one more day!"

On the afternoon of the third day, Su Yang took his time riding the earthworm subway out of Seven Star City and returned to the military camp.

By this time, Tong Yaoyun was already running out of patience.

He was the vice leader of the Violent Bear Mercenary Corps; he couldn't possibly let the squad under his command squat here day after day sucking on the northwest wind just because of his own personal grudge.

Hua Ming appeared with his Golden Hound: "Leader, my lord, there's not a trace of that bastard's scent anywhere!"

"Are you sure you searched thoroughly?"

"Leader, my lord, I was very thorough. I had the Golden Hound sniff every single Bronze Bull corpse!" Hua Ming pointed at the several beast tamers behind him who were protecting him and said, "They've been with me the whole time!"

"Mm!" Tong Yaoyun nodded.

He knew the people under him would definitely not slack off on this matter!
