Chapter 100: Skirmishes
Imperial City, in an extremely ordinary tavern.
Anthony, Paul, and Lin Zhifeng and other four people gathered around to dine.
This tavern is ordinary and inexpensive, and it is naturally not as high-end as a restaurant such as a drunken pavilion. The small lobby is crowded with stools and tables, and most of the patrons are ordinary people, or gangsters at the bottom of the table who can't get on the table.
If Anthony had been alone, in such a noisy and messy place, he would not have come. It's not that he puts up a shelf, since he is not short of money and has a quiet temperament, why not find a quiet and elegant environment. Do you want to deliberately embarrass yourself, just to show that you are approachable?
But it's a different story for friends to invite them.
"Brother, you have been in the imperial capital for a while, do you have any plans in the future?" Lin Zhifeng asked Anthony while drinking.
Anthony was about to speak, but Yang Haonian next to him had already replied first: "A genius like Anthony, of course, has to do some earth-shattering things to bring out his extraordinary." β
Anthony couldn't help but laugh.
Since helping the madman Xu Feng repay his debts that day, the "Four Heroes of Southern Union" have skyrocketed their favor towards Anthony. Anthony has no other friends in the imperial capital, and he has a good impression of the four of them, so he has been in frequent contact during this time. Asked each other to have a drink, chatted and bragged, and soon became acquainted.
In terms of personality, Anthony may be a little elegant, but he is by no means lonely, and he can be friends with anyone. Whether it is a dignitary or a peddler, whether it is a professional powerhouse or an ordinary person, or cooking wine and enjoying the snow, or barbecuing meat over a bonfire, he can integrate into it without stagnation.
Therefore, after getting through the initial awe of the "master" and "rich man", the "Four Heroes of Nanlian" are familiar with Anthony's temperament and begin to laugh and laugh.
"According to Xiao **, I really have a few things to accomplish that can be called big."
Anthony was interested, smiling and speaking slowly.
"For example, rescue our lovely Princess Yalina. Another example is to strengthen the glorious empire, press the Rigas back and beat them hard. β
Hearing his words, the four people reacted differently.
Little ** Yang Haonian shouted, "Damn, you dare to snatch my lines!" β
Xu Feng was coaxing on the side.
The cool Tang Feng stretched out his right hand, gave a thumbs up, and spit out a word in his mouth: "Cow!" β
Lin Zhifeng is older, he is more calm in the end, and he also smiled and laughed: "Brother Anthony's words are a little flawed. The so-called no three is not a few, and there are only two major things. β
Anthony's face was straight, with a mysterious look, and he said in a suppressed voice: "This last incident is really too shocking and far-reaching. Even I'm not sure I'll be able to do it, so it's hard to say it casually. β
"Tell me what the hell?"
Although everyone knows that these are all jokes, they can't be accurate. But Anthony is a serious person a lot of the time, and rarely has such a casual play, and he is very curious about what earth-shattering events he is going to say.
Could it be to defeat the God of Light and snatch the throne of the First God?
Even if it's just talking, it's too exciting!
"That's ......"
Anthony paused slightly, looking at five pairs of enthusiastic and curious eyesβin addition to Sijie, and Paulβbefore finally speaking:
"It's to save the 'Four Heroes of Southern Union', the four young people who have nothing to do all day long!"
This answer was too different from what everyone originally expected, and the five of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Paul laughed and said, "Young master, you are still a little wrong, the great master of the Wind Wolf Lin Zhi Wind Forest has passed 30 and is no longer a young man." The idle, idle, are three young people and one middle-aged. β
The laughter gradually subsided, and the eyes of the four heroes with a smile hidden a trace of helplessness and loss.
Which teenager or former teenager is not with grand aspirations and lofty goals. But the reality is always cruel, due to opportunities, qualifications, abilities and other factors, only a very small number of people can finally achieve their wishes and achieve their goals. And the vast majority of teenagers can only have ambitions and helpless years to waste their lives.
The so-called four heroes of Nanlian, Lin Zhifeng and the other four also understood in their hearts that it was just a kind of ridicule and self-comfort. For the rest of his life, this name can only be a joke, and it cannot become an honorific title recognized by the world.
Anthony looked at the expressions of the four of them, picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly, and said meaningfully:
"God is not necessarily fair to everyone in the world. However, in everyone's life, there will be a few moments that can change their fate to a greater or lesser extent. The only difference is that some people are keenly aware of the opportunity and grasp it tightly. Some people are unaware of it, and let it quietly drift away with the wind. β
The four of them shook suddenly, and their eyes looked at Anthony with deep thoughts.
Could it be that this young man is the fate of himself and others?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask questions, suddenly a black thing flew from the sky, crossed an arc, and fell on the table with a thud.
When I looked closely, it turned out to be a big chicken leg that had eaten a few bites.
Looking at the disgusting tooth marks on it, and the messy mess of a few dishes, who still has the appetite to continue eating.
Xiao ** was furious, slapped the table and stood up, looked around, and asked, "Who did it?" β
Anyone who encounters this situation while eating will not be in a good mood. What's more, just now they were talking about the things that Xiao ** was most concerned about, and they were suddenly interrupted by this disgusting thing, and they were naturally full of anger.
"Our boss is in a good mood today, so I'll reward you with a chicken leg. Why don't you hurry over and say thank you, what are you doing all the rage? β
A tall and thin young man stood up from a dining table not far away, with a wicked smile on his face, crooked eyes, and said indifferently.
At the top of the table where he was sat sat a stout man. He was eating meat and drinking wine on his own, ignoring the dispute here, as if he had not seen it at all. Looking at the starry and moon-starry people around him, he should be the boss in the mouth of the tall and thin young man.
Little ** Yang Haonian laughed angrily: "What? Want to fight? β
Tang Feng stood up suddenly, and without speaking, the sword in his hand and the scabbard slammed heavily on the table. There is a big disagreement, and immediately draw the sword to face each other.
As the only professional of the four, he has always been the main force in such things as fighting.
Xu Feng shook his head next to him and chuckled: "Hehe! This time, it's actually a little ** who meets a little **. β
These four people have been mixed in the imperial capital for a long time, and the crowd they come into contact with at the event venue is all small ** gangsters and the like, fights and brawls are commonplace, of course, there will be no tension. As for Anthony and Paul, they have never seen any big battles, and they will not take this little thing seriously.
The tall and thin young man glanced at this side and said contemptuously, "Fighting? Do you have the courage to do it? Do you know who we are? We are members of the Wolf Gang! β
Xu Feng was so happy that he fell, holding his stomach and laughing: "It's really a coincidence." Lin Zhifeng, isn't your nickname Wind Wolf, does it have anything to do with following the Wild Wolf Gang? Don't wash the Dragon King Temple, your own family doesn't know your own family. β
When he turned his head to look, he saw Lin Zhifeng's face change. couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" β
Lin Zhifeng's face darkened: "This Wild Wolf Gang is the peripheral force of the Iron Sword Gang. β
The other three all changed their faces in unison, and they were secretly angry.
Why have you been involved with the Iron Sword Gang lately? Some time ago, because of Xu Feng's debt problem, he almost faced the Iron Sword Gang directly. Thankfully, Anthony was generous enough to help them get through the storm.
It was only a few days later, and there was another conflict with the outer forces of the Iron Sword Gang. Could it be that the four heroes of their southern alliance and the Iron Sword Gang can't clash with each other?
The four of them looked back at Anthony in unison.
Last time, Anthony relieved them, does this matter still need to be solved by him?
Although they all know that Anthony is strong, it is not a problem to take down all the so-called wolf gangs. But the problem is that behind this small gang is the Iron Sword Gang, which has just annexed three big gangs and is rapidly increasing in power. If Anthony can fight again, can he still deal with a whole big gang by himself?
