Global Dungeon: My Support Is Too Strong-Chapter 712 - A Third Party Joins In
712 A Third Party Joins In
Lu Benwei’s ears immediately perked up.
At the same time, everyone in the tavern revealed a secretive expression. “Don’t say anymore, don’t say anymore.”
The man was wearing a water cloud pattern uniform. Seeing the abnormal atmosphere in the tavern, he was stunned for a moment.
“What happened?”
A passerby in the tavern reminded him. “Now, there are people from the Pegasus Mercenary Corps everywhere in the city. The walls have ears. Brother, you should be careful when you speak.”
The person wearing the water cloud pattern uniform smiled noncommittally. “What, the Pegasus Mercenary Corps suffered a defeat and became a joke?”
Instantly, the tavern fell silent. Then, he heard a clang coming from the table near Lu Benwei.
A burly man wearing a pair of leather pants and a fur coat pushed the table over and took a big step forward. He arrived in front of the man in the water cloud pattern robe.
Everyone’s heart trembled, and they felt that the ground of the tavern had sunk by three degrees.
“What did you just say?” The burly man’s temples bulged, and his eyes were about to pop out.
The man in the water cloud pattern was not afraid at all. His eyes were calm as he smiled and said, “I said that the Pegasus Mercenary Corps was disguised as a pig to eat a tiger and made a fool of themselves.”
The burly man’s anger was clearly rising, and the veins on his skin bulged. It was extremely terrifying.
Lu Benwei saw this scene and said, “This big man should be from the Pegasus Mercenary Corps. As for this man, his status must be extraordinary.”
“What’s your name?” The burly man suppressed his anger and realized that this person was extraordinary.
The man in the water cloud pattern clothes said indifferently, “Zhuo Quan.”
As soon as he said this, the crowd went into an uproar.
“So, you’re the son of City Lord Zhuo. No wonder you dare to speak to the Pegasus Mercenary Corps like this.”
“Recently, the Pegasus Mercenary Corps has sent people into the city, which has affected the public security of the entire Jiao City. Young Master Zhuo Quan’s actions are probably to give the Pegasus Mercenary Corps a warning.”
The burly man frowned. After knowing the identity of the man in front of him, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.
“Lord Zhuo, what do you mean? Jiao City is the capital of the country. City Lord Zhuo has already said that he welcomes guests from all over the world. As the son of City Lord Zhuo, is this how you greet people?”
Zhuo Quan sneered. “It’s true that Jiao City welcomes guests from all over the world. However, some people treat Jiao City as their own home. How can I not show up? Go back and tell your leader Zhuang Lang that if I see your mercenary group in Jiao City one day later, don’t blame us for being rude!”
As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the tavern became extremely tense. The passersby did not even dare to breathe loudly.
The burly man’s gaze was sinister, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
“Very good! Your Zhuo family is very brave. If you have the ability, you can stay in Jiao City for the rest of your life!”
With that, the burly man left.
The atmosphere in the tavern was still silent, and the air seemed to have frozen.
“Master Zhuo,” someone said after a long time, “the Pegasus Mercenary Corps has never put anyone in their eyes. Why did you offend them like this?”
Zhuo Quan slowly sighed. “I have no choice. Ever since the Pegasus Mercenary Corps sent people to Jiao City, there have been constant riots. The city is the largest trading center for red pearls in the Southern Desert Continent. There are merchants from all over the world. As the son of the city lord, I can’t ignore it.”
Everyone was filled with emotion.
Some people were indignant. “I just don’t know who’s so vicious. They deliberately lured trouble into Jiao City.”
Someone asked, “What did that Lu Hongyi do to provoke the Pegasus Mercenary Corps? Six of the seven captains are here!”
“I heard that the captain of the second team, the son of the leader of the Pegasus Mercenary Corps, was beaten into a cripple. The leader of the Pegasus Mercenary Corps was furious and swore to find the culprit!”
Everyone was shocked.
“But then again, will that person really appear?”
Zhuo Quan slowly let out a breath of turbid air. “I hope so. I’d like to meet this expert who dared to provoke the Pegasus Mercenary Corps. Who is he?”
With that, he paid for the food and wine and left the tavern.
The passers-by started discussing again.
“Sigh, do you guys think that this person is a spy sent by an enemy country of the Red Pearl Country?”
“Very likely!”
“Let’s follow Zhuo Quan,” Lu Benwei ordered after drinking a cup of tea.
“What? Why Zhuo Quan?”
Lu Benwei said, “Do you remember why we came here?”
“Of course, I remember, but why did you look for the young master of the City Lord of Jiao City?” Ji Han was confused.
“Of course, I want to extort a sum of money.” Lu Benwei laughed.
The two of them walked very quickly and caught up to Zhuo Quan in a short while.
“Master Zhuo, can we have a chat?” Lu Benwei stopped him.
Master Zhuo stopped in his tracks and looked back. He saw a short-haired young man wearing a moon-white robe with a straight face. He had an imposing appearance and was extremely extraordinary.
Behind him, there was a young girl. She had a delicate and refined appearance. Her facial features were upright, and her eyes were black and bright like black gems.
“And you are?”
“I’m the person the Pegasus Mercenary Corps is looking for. My name is Lu Hongyi,” Lu Benwei said.
Zhuo Quan’s pupils instantly constricted, and he subconsciously looked around.
“Young Master Lu, follow me,” Zhuo Quan said.
Lu Benwei did not hesitate to ask Zhuo Quan to come to a restaurant and ask for a private room.
“Young Master Lu, may I ask why you provoked the Pegasus Mercenary Corps and why you brought the trouble to me?” Zhuo Quan asked directly.
“I didn’t provoke the Pegasus Mercenary Corps. They provoked me.” Lu Benwei smiled.
Zhuo Quan smiled bitterly. “So, you really wiped out the second team of the Pegasus Mercenary Corps alone?”
“Otherwise, why would they make such a big fuss?” Lu Benwei shrugged and the corners of his mouth curled up.
“Then why did Young Master Lu bring the trouble to me?”
Zhuo Quan was very troubled. He could not understand. He had no enmity with Lu Benwei, so why did he bring trouble here?
“I was separated from someone and urgently needed to reunite, so I used this place as a rendezvous point,” Lu Benwei did not hide anything and said that something had happened.
“Pa!”
Zhuo Quan slammed the table and stood up angrily. “Just because of this? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”
“What I said is true.” Lu Benwei’s expression was calm.
He understood why Zhuo Quan was angry. One person’s groundless words caused a storm of blood in the city.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll send people to surround this place and send you to the Pegasus Mercenary Corps?” Zhuo Quan’s veins bulged on his forehead.
