Chapter 11

Early the next morning, Su Xiao woke up early.

After washing up and putting on the guard uniform, Su Xiao came to the guard headquarters.

Before entering the headquarters, he saw a large group of guards entering and exiting the headquarters, looking hurried.

"Quick, Lord Oka was murdered. This matter alarmed the Left Minister, and that lord ordered a city-wide search for the criminal."

Hank commanded a large number of guards with a "grieved" expression, but a thing called ambition appeared in his eyes, looking like he would be the boss after Oka died.

Su Xiao noticed that two guards were standing at the door of the headquarters, watching all this coldly. Those two were the guards who followed Oka last night. Needless to say, the two were definitely Oka's confidants.

Hank's move might have already made the two suspicious, but this is indeed an opportunity. If operated properly, Hank could also replace Oka's position.

The guard team is not a very large department. Except for Oka, everyone else is just an ordinary guard. Oka is actually just a role like a captain.

As for the position of sub-captain, the guard team has never had one. Not to mention the extra consumption of funds, Oka would not allow the power in his hands to be divided. Yesterday, Su Xiao had already experienced Oka's arrogant personality.

The reason Su Xiao killed Oka was not because the other side put on a boss's posture in front of him.

He needs to improve his status quickly now. If Oka doesn't die, there is no suitable position.

As for the inside of the palace, Su Xiao doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to get involved.

The simpler the plan, the fewer the loopholes. He only needs a position that can get close to the king and can climb up quickly.

Tomorrow is the day to burn the Scrap Terminal. Of course, the inside of the palace will not intervene in such disgraceful things personally and will only send people below to do it.

Su Xiao investigated that there are two factions of guard forces in the capital. One is the guard team responsible for the security of the capital, and the other is the gate guard team responsible for guarding the city gate.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing should be handed over to the gate guard team to operate, but when choosing weapons in the warehouse yesterday, Su Xiao saw a large amount of explosives.

According to the clues in the warehouse, Su Xiao judged that those explosives had just been stored in the warehouse not long ago. As for the use of the explosives, it is self-evident.

Wanting to ignite the Scrap Terminal, which is not small in scale, is clearly impossible just by setting fire.

Therefore, Su Xiao needs the position of guard leader. As for whether he can see the king, it depends on his personal actions.

"Hank, what happened?"

Hank, who was commanding the crowd, turned his head to look at Su Xiao.

"The boss was assassinated, last night. These guys actually only discovered it this morning. You came just in time, come with me to see the Left Minister immediately."

Su Xiao felt a chill in his heart. See the Left Minister? This Hank might not have good intentions. He only became a guard yesterday. This is undoubtedly a handle. Does he want to make him a scapegoat? The possibility is not high.

Already thinking about how to deal with Hank in his heart, Su Xiao showed a smile on his face.

"Left Minister? That big shot wants to summon me?"

Su Xiao pretended to be puzzled, but his eyes were fixed on Hank.

"Yes, the Left Minister wants to see you. As for the specific reason, I don't know."

Hank showed an envious look, even a bit jealous.

This sudden good news made Su Xiao a bit surprised. He had no relationship with the high-level palace officials. The only thing that could appear to be connected was... that letter of recommendation? It seems that letter of recommendation is far more important than he imagined.

Following Hank through a few streets, Su Xiao came to a courtyard, and a luxurious villa appeared in his line of sight.

Hank was a bit nervous and walked up cautiously. Two guards guarding the door stopped Hank.

"Is this the person the lord wants to see?"

Hank nodded hurriedly, and the two guards took away Hank's weapons. As for Su Xiao, all his weapons were in the Storage Space, and the guards couldn't possibly discover them.

The guards led the way in front, and Su Xiao came to a hall.

A family was having breakfast in the hall, and an old man with white hair and a serious face was sitting in the first seat.

After seeing Hank, the old man threw away the meal in his hand casually and signaled others to retreat, leaving only a strong man standing behind the old man.

That strong man gave Su Xiao an unusually dangerous feeling. Although the other side was bare-handed, Su Xiao noticed the thick calluses on the other side's knuckles and the flattened knuckles.

This is a master of physical arts, the old man's personal bodyguard.

"Your name is Hank, right? Is this the new guard?"

The old man spoke slowly and calmly, the kind of person with high position and great power.

"Yes, yes, sir."

Hank started to struggle to speak, very cramped.

"You go down."

The old man might be a bit dissatisfied with Hank's nervousness and didn't look at Hank at all.

Hank lowered his head and retreated to the door, then disappeared from Su Xiao's line of sight.

"I am the Left Minister of the Kingdom. Carlos offered me many interesting collections. As his nephew, I should have taken care of you.

Unfortunately, Carlos didn't go out of the city very smoothly yesterday, and my collection fell through. I can't find him, so of course, I have to find his nephew, which is you."

Su Xiao guessed the general situation.

Carlos is the black market merchant he killed yesterday. After Carlos died, the "offering" of this Left Minister fell through. In the case of not finding Carlos, this Left Minister came to find Su Xiao to replace him.

That black market merchant is really unlucky. Not only was he exploited by the gate guard team, but he also had to offer to this Left Minister.

Looking at the current situation, the other side wants him to replace Carlos to acquire goods.

Su Xiao doesn't understand the transaction between the two sides. If it weren't for the protection of someone behind the other side, Su Xiao would have controlled this Left Minister long ago.

But this opportunity to contact the high-level officials of the Kingdom is also rare.

"The collection is no problem, I understand all of my uncle's channels. He was injured very seriously yesterday and is recuperating, but..."

The Left Minister raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Xiao squarely:

"If you can get the collection I need, the conditions are up to you. I heard that your captain died yesterday. If things are done well, I will let you be the guard leader."

Half an hour later, Su Xiao left the Left Minister's courtyard and walked on the street.

Things went smoothly, but the conditions proposed by the Left Minister made Su Xiao a bit of a headache.

Not only that, after the Left Minister proposed the conditions, Reincarnation Paradise appeared with a new mission at the same time.

【Trigger Side Mission: Left Minister's Collection】

Left Minister's Collection

Difficulty Level: lv. 2.

Mission Introduction: The Left Minister's collection is very rich. Any valuable collection will be favored by this greedy old guy.

Mission Information: Kill the owner of Kolbo Mountain and obtain its teeth. (Owner of Kolbo Mountain: A ferocious beast in the Pirate World, a huge feline animal.)

Mission Time Limit: Within 10 hours.

Mission Reward: Guard leader identity.

Failure Penalty: Expelled from the guard team and wanted for trumped-up charges.

Su Xiao knows what the owner of Kolbo Mountain is. It is a huge tiger that almost killed the young Luffy.

Sighing, after entering the Pirate World, the opponents he encountered were all too strong, which made Su Xiao a bit helpless.

One day, he will carry the long sword in his hand and kill all the way, never being as timid as he is now.

But the Pirate World is too dangerous, he doesn't even have the qualifications to fight for his life.

Still too weak, he must learn to be appropriately patient before becoming strong.

The owner of Kolbo Mountain is very strong, at least not something Su Xiao can contend with head-on now, but no matter how strong it is, it is just a beast.

If he can't contend head-on, it doesn't mean Su Xiao can't kill that tiger.
