CH.63 Tension

"The space treasure chest is really convenient." An Rui looked at the closed treasure chest and exclaimed. The price of this treasure is too high, and he doesn't know when he will be able to afford it.

After putting away the Thundering Demon Tree and the dragon bone, everyone had no need to stay, and soon set out on the return journey.

A few days later, the group returned to Iron Cannon Harbor smoothly.

When passing through an intersection, another team of people crossed with An Rui and others, and the two teams happened to meet together.

An Rui was in the middle of the team, and glanced at the team that suddenly appeared in the fork, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, it startled him at a glance.

The team on the opposite side turned out to be a group of Brentt!

Brent, a big fat bejeweled man, walked at the front of the group, and he didn't know where he was going, followed by Sharod and several guards. As one of the famous local businessmen, he and Cheryl seemed to know each other, and after meeting each other, they greeted each other and talked and laughed.

"It's really a narrow road." Anrui muttered secretly, turned his head, and winked at Berego. Of the group, Brent recognized only one person, Berrego. If Brent had seen Bergo, he would probably have a bad heart and take Beregor away.

Berego also saw Brent and his party, and quickly pulled down his hood, covering his head and face, and lowered his head as low as possible to the other person's side.

It's a pity that the elf's movements are finally a step slower.

"Huh?" Sharod caught a glimpse of Berego's small movement out of the corner of his eye, turned his head, and looked over, his eyes narrowing slightly, projecting a gaze as sharp as a blade.

Bereg's head was lowered, and his heart beat rapidly, all the way to his throat. He had been captured by the Bernt gang and knew what it meant to be planted in the hands of this gang. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

An Rui noticed Sharod's gaze, his heartbeat also accelerated, and he slowly put his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready for battle. If Sharod is going to be against Berego, then he can only fight here. He has just been promoted to level 6, he has learned the power of soul devouring, absorbed 20 points of available dragon souls, and his strength has improved, if he fights together, it is not without a chance of winning. If it really doesn't work, he can also rush over and kidnap Brent, this big fat man is not a warrior, he has no combat power, and it is easy to deal with.

A tense atmosphere rose in an instant, diffusing the intersection, adding a little coolness to the hot weather.

"Miss Cheryl, you really should think about the proposal I gave you last time, if you join forces to do this business, it will definitely be a win-win situation......" Brent said enthusiastically, halfway through, he suddenly felt that something was wrong around him, stopped, and glanced around, "Sharod, what's going on?" ”

"Boss Brent, look who that person is." Sharod snorted in the direction where Beregor was.

Brent followed the guidance and looked over at a glance at an elf with his head bowed, looking up and down a few times. Despite the hood on the elf's head and his face covered with a shadow, he recognized it.

"He's ...... Seashell...... That's right, Berego! He's a slave who escaped from the dungeon! Brent's eyes widened, and he pointed at Beregor and shouted, "Quick, get him for me!" ”

This voice was like a little spark, which instantly ignited the fuse of the conflict.

When An Rui and the others heard this, they pulled out their blades one after another, and the snowy white light flashed frequently on the street. The three of them narrowed the distance and formed a cornering trend.

Seeing this, Brent's guards also drew their blades and glared at Berego one by one.

Sharod was the last to draw his sword, but he was the first to go to Berego, showing a style of action.

If this fight breaks out, there will inevitably be blood splattered on the spot.

At this moment, a magnetic and majestic voice sounded, like a basin of cold water, poured over everyone's heads.

"Boss Brent, what's going on? Do your people want to do something to my team? Cheryl asked with a thin frown.

Brent was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was such a famous businesswoman by his side.

"Well, Miss Cheryl, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to embarrass your team, I'm just trying to capture the escaped slave. As you may have heard, not long ago, a gang of men turned against me and released all the slaves I had held in the dungeon. The elf in your party is one of the slaves. I still have his deed of sale in my hand. Brent quickly explained.

In this world, whether you are a free person or a slave is divided by a piece of paper, and you will become a slave if you sign a deed of sale. Of course, not many people are willing to sell themselves to another person, and most of these deeds are signed when they are forced to do so.

"I am a free man, not a slave to anyone!" Berego pointed the tip of the arrow at Brent, tightened the bowstring, and said angrily.

Sharod took a step to his side, crossing between Berego and Brent, blocking the arrows that were ready to strike.

Cheryl turned her head sideways, first at Beregor, then at Anrui, and met him for a few seconds. From An Rui's eyes, she saw a hint of request, and secretly thought in her heart: "He helped me find such a big gold mine, I'll help him this time." They could not watch Brent embarrass them. ”

When she turned her head again, Cheryl's face had changed to a fierce expression, as a woman, she was more imposing than a man at this time.

"Boss Brent, the slave you speak of is my friend, I hope you will see my face and let him go. As for his deed of sale, I am willing to pay for it back, what do you think? Cheryl asked.

"This ......," Brent's face froze, and his fat face showed a look of embarrassment, "It's not just about money, this gang of escaped slaves is related to the gang of people who are against me, and I want to find out the identity of that gang through them, which is my main purpose." If it were an ordinary slave, Miss Cheryl would rarely open her mouth once, and of course I would have to save face, but this time the situation was special. ”

"This friend of mine is of good character and has nothing to do with the gang of people who are against you, and there is no need for the boss of Brent to hold on to him. Even if you get him back, you won't be able to ask anything. ”

"Miss Cheryl, don't be deceived by the appearance of your friend, who knows what he has done behind your back."

"Listen to you, don't you want to let go of my friend?"

"Well...... Brent said in a long voice, his eyes rolling around, obviously weighing the gains and losses.

Cheryl's pretty face was furious, her snow-white cheeks were like ice carvings, and a wave of magical power spread from her body, forming an invisible pressure that enveloped Brent and his party. Thirty yards above her head, a dark cloud quickly formed, as if it had been filled with thick ink, and it was as black as night.

Sharod looked solemn and shifted his attention from Berego to Cheryl, the thunderous sword in his hand crackling, and the lightning danced like a swarm of snakes.

Brent looked up at the dark clouds above the sky, remembered some of the deeds about Cheryl, twitched out of the corner of his eye, and finally lost the battle. He knew that he couldn't fight Cheryl, a witch, so it was better to take a step back at this time.

"Okay. For Miss Cheryl's sake, I promise not to pursue the matter any further, and tomorrow I will send someone to deliver the elf's deed of sale to the house. Brent was like a deflated ball, and he was smiling.

"Very good, Xie Lu Shebron boss sells me this face, I will go back and think about the business you mentioned just now." Cheryl's face slowed down, like a melting iceberg, and the pressure enveloping Brent and the others immediately decreased a lot.

"That's great, like I said, it's good for you and me." Brent overjoyed.

This simmering dispute was thus resolved by Cheryl's words, and under her and Brent's orders, both sides withdrew their respective blades. Sharod was the last to withdraw the Thundering Sword, obviously very unwilling.

An Rui breathed a sigh of relief, with their current strength, they were by no means the opponents of Brent and others, and it was better to be able to stop fighting. He looked at Cheryl and gave her a grateful look.

"Boss Brent, that's all for today. We still have something to do, let's go first. Cheryl said nonchalantly and ended the conversation. She rolled over and got on the horse, grabbed the reins with the palm of her black leather gloves, and shook it slightly. The horses immediately stepped out of their hooves, and they were very obedient.

The men behind followed on horseback, and the whole team got back on the road, passing by Brent's group.

Sharod's gaze swept over the people in Cheryl's team, his eyes were very unkind, when he looked at Bergo, his gaze stayed for three seconds, and when he looked at Anrui, his pupils suddenly froze, as if a wild beast had found its prey.

An Rui felt that he might be recognized, although he had disguised himself before, but his eyes and body shape could not be disguised, and it was not impossible to be recognized. If that's the case, that's bad. He tried his best to compose, ignored Sharod, and walked past him. Although he was far away, he still felt that Sharod was looking at him, and he felt like a man on his back.

An Rui's feeling was not wrong, Sharod had indeed been staring at him, his eyes never leaving him.

"Sharod, don't look at it, let's go too." Brent patted his hand on the shoulder.

"That person is familiar." Sharod stared at An Rui's back and squinted.

"Familiar? Do you know him? ”

"I can't remember it for a while."

"If you can't think of it, forget it. In the same Iron Cannon Harbor, it is normal to look familiar with a person. ”

Sharod took a deep breath before he took his eyes off An Rui.
