Chapter 2383: Beast Gentleman

A heavy object hit the top of the carriage, leaving a dent in the thick metal plate.

Inside the carriage, Su Xiao was hesitating whether to take action. If this steam train was destroyed, he would have to walk to Ango City.

Several peace officers were already scared silly. The sum of all the changes they had experienced in their lives didn't add up to one percent of the excitement of today.

Nancy Erna raised the steam sniper rifle, the nearly five-centimeter-thick barrel aimed upwards. Although slender, her finger, full of calluses, rested on the trigger. Wisps of steam drifted from the heat dissipation holes. The power of the steam sniper rifle was indeed fierce, but in the train carriage, she only had one chance to fire. After firing, steam would fill most of the carriage, blocking her line of sight.

Two sharp claws pierced through the steel of the ceiling. With a creak, the ceiling of the carriage was torn open, and a huge head poked into the carriage.

Bang!

Steam surged, filling most of the carriage with sparks mixed in. A muffled sound came from above.

The wind pressure brought by the high-speed steam train instantly blew away most of the steam. From the hole in the top of the carriage, Nancy Erna saw a hyena wolf clan member with gray-black hair all over his upper body, resembling a werewolf, and a human lower body.

Although this hyena wolf clan member was strong, his figure was well-proportioned. The kinetic energy of the bullet tore his upper body clothes to shreds. At this time, he was only wearing tight shorts, squatting on top of the carriage.

This hyena wolf clan member was chewing something, and wisps of steam drifted from his mouth.

"Ptooey."

The hyena wolf clan member spat out the thing in his mouth. This thing cut through a residual image and embedded itself in the iron plate in front of Nancy Erna's feet with a clang. This was a bullet deformed by chewing, looking very much like a piece of chewed chewing gum at first glance.

Seeing this bullet, Nancy Erna was certain that she was not this hyena wolf clan member's opponent. If she remembered correctly, the other party was the Beast Gentleman · Tuak, a hyena wolf clan member, a wanted criminal pursued by the four major kingdoms and the Council Chamber.

"Steam gun, a soldier of the Lehman Kingdom."

The Beast Gentleman · Tuak, squatting on top of the carriage, spoke. His gaze turned to Su Xiao. This was his target. Apart from this target, everyone else was to be silenced.

Tuak was just about to leap into the carriage when he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, which made his movements pause. Just now, he seemed to perceive a blood beast grinning at him, waiting for him to jump into the carriage voluntarily.

It was during this short hesitation of Tuak that the roar of the steam engine entered his ears.

Three steam cars sped down from the mountains on both sides. Each car had a dawn bird with wings spread ready to fly printed on the side. This was the logo of the Chidorman Company. Although they didn't have the ownership of steam trains and tracks, as the manufacturer of steam trains, the power of the Chidorman Company was not small.

The Chidorman Company was very smart, obeying the four major kingdoms and the Council Chamber, and its wealth was enough to make people jealous. Many people wanted to take a bite of this big cake, but under the protection of the four major kingdoms and the Council Chamber, no one had succeeded so far.

The three steam cars drove side by side with the train. The design of the steam cars was unique, with the "press plug machine" using steam as kinetic energy exposed, and the press plug lever operating at high speed, giving people a unique aesthetic beauty of the combination of steam and steel.

There were 10 men and women sitting in the three steam cars. They all recognized the Beast Gentleman · Tuak, but they weren't afraid. Before joining the Chidorman Company, these people were also notorious thugs. The Chidorman Company spent a lot of money to help them clear their names.

In fact, the order of this world didn't look as stable as it seemed. In terms of technology, apart from extraordinary steam science, it was close to the era before World War II, without too advanced technology.

The mainstream of this world was steam technology + mysticism, and the technology tree was based on extraordinary steam technology.

The people of the Chidorman Company arrived, and the steam train was attacked. Their reaction speed was the fastest.

The Beast Gentleman · Tuak looked at the ten people in the steam cars, his expression cooling down. The plan had developed to this extent, and it was obviously unlikely to succeed. However, the things he should have done were basically completed, and he hadn't expected it to be too smooth originally.

With a bang, Tuak left two footprints on top of the train and jumped off the high-speed steam train, soon disappearing into the wilderness.

Watching Tuak retreat, the ten people of the Chidorman Company removed the hooks, and the steam cars began to slow down. The order they received was: don't take action if you don't have to. This matter was very troublesome, and it might be a game between big shots. No one wanted to die in a stinking ditch at the end of an alley one day. It was best to participate less in this kind of thing.

The carriage quieted down, and the steam dissipated in the air.

"Mr. Bai Ye, I assisted friendly forces in repelling the enemy."

Nancy Erna bared her neat white teeth and smiled. This girl looked dull, but she wasn't stupid. The Beast Gentleman was of course not repelled by her, but after this incident, she had a way to report back.

Su Xiao looked at the pocket watch in his hand. This was the spoils of war obtained from killing the hyena wolf clan member just now. Although it couldn't be brought out of this world, it was quite good to use.

The Beast Gentleman was forced back, and Su Xiao felt somewhat regretful. Unlike those small-fry hyena wolf clan members, this guy was a ruthless character.

Su Xiao had just prepared to let the Beast Gentleman hijack him, and then take action when they reached an uninhabited place, and then scout with the Endless Darkness Collar.

Unfortunately, the people of the Chidorman Company arrived. This was a force one tier lower than the kingdoms and the Council Chamber, but it wasn't easy to provoke either. They were loyal to a councilor of the Council Chamber, and that councilor was famous for protecting his own. Moreover, this company was very grounded and deeply loved by the people. It wasn't to say that everything produced by the Chidorman Company was a boutique, but it was durable and the price was affordable.

Nancy Erna put the steam sniper rifle into the gun bag, leaning on the seat like a salted fish, her life feeling hopeless. She had messed up half of her escort mission this time.

"Damn it, why are they smiling so triumphantly, and still thinking it's a bad guy."

Su Xiao didn't pay attention to Nancy Erna. According to the information of the identity disguise, he was on the steam train in the Lehman Kingdom, where it was a symbolic secret escort.

Su Xiao ignored the interpersonal relationships of people with this kind of identity now, because people with this kind of identity had stayed in all four major kingdoms, but hadn't chosen to join any force.

He felt that this should be one of the reasons for being targeted. An alchemy master who hadn't joined any force was rare.

No more attackers appeared. More than forty minutes later, the steam train began to whistle, and the speed gradually slowed down.

Through the carriage window, Su Xiao saw a train station that wasn't advanced but prosperous. Near the stacked cargo boxes, laborers were carrying living things.

Su Xiao walked off the train with Bubu Wang. Bahar didn't come to meet immediately but circled in the sky, scouting whether there were any suspicious personnel nearby.

Just after getting off the steam train, Su Xiao noticed a group of people. These people likely came from the Chidorman Company. After such a change occurred along the way, the Chidorman Company would definitely be the first to come.

Now wasn't the time to contact the Chidorman Company. Su Xiao blended into the crowd and walked out of the steam train station.

Dang, dang, dang~

The hands on the station clock tower pointed exactly to twelve o'clock. Buildings with uneven heights stood tall, the streets were bustling with noise, and occasionally steam cars could be seen driving slowly, but there were more horse-drawn carriages.

Ango City had arrived, the most prosperous city on the continent, the trade hub, and the center of power.

Su Xiao was currently on the far east side of Ango City, and the Council Chamber was on the south side. The four major kingdoms didn't need to be worried about for the time being. The only thing he needed to do now was to head to the Council Chamber to find the person behind the train hijacking incident.

This world had alchemy. If he was lucky enough, he might find a high-tier recovery potion recipe in this world. If he had the opportunity to set up an alchemy laboratory, he could also take the opportunity to develop Apollo.

Of course, these two things had to wait until he had leisure time. Completing the main quest was the first goal, as this concerned the 150-point attribute breakthrough barrier. Su Xiao believed that the reward for 150 points of real attributes would definitely be amazing, otherwise, the combat power gap between 6th-tier and 7th-tier contractors wouldn't be that big. ===== CHAPTER 2384 =====
