The three of them were stunned and looked at each other.
The existence of this butcher shop had always been a secret among the three of them. Because it was related to their source of income, they had never mentioned it to anyone else. Now that they suddenly heard that someone was looking for them, the three of them wondered if there was something wrong with their ears. In the end, it was Goblin Pep who spoke first. "Erm … Boss Hank, how many people are there? Which one of us are they looking for?"
The Orc Butcher did not say anything else. He left without looking back, leaving the three of them looking at each other in the cellar.
In the end, it was Marden who suggested, "Let's go out and take a look?" Since the other party was looking for them, it was useless to hide in the cellar. The Orc Butcher was not their professional bodyguard. No matter who it was, as long as they were willing to pay, they could walk in openly.
Rather than waiting here to be caught like a turtle in a jar, he might as well be magnanimous and go out to see what was going on outside.
Hence, the three of them climbed out of the cellar. Marden initially wanted to leave the Elven sword in his hand in the house, but he thought that once the three of them walked out, the Orc Butcher would be the only one left in the butcher shop. Although he did not seem to be interested in the sword, who knew if he was pretending or not?
Marden was carrying the happiness of the three of them in his arms. It was a treasure that was worth tens of thousands of gold coins. He dared not test the Orc Butcher's self-awareness with such a thing.
In the end, he decided to wrap the sword and carry it with him. Only then would he feel the greatest sense of security.
The three of them walked out of the butcher shop anxiously, wanting to see who was outside. However, when they saw the person in question, they were stunned.
It was a face that was completely unfamiliar to them. He looked very young, wearing a cane and a cloak. He was dressed like a traveler. Obviously, he was not a native of Sethevia Port.
Lavin raised his eyebrows. "Your Honor knows us?"
Seeing that the young man was alone without any weapons, the three of them were no longer nervous. They regained their prestige and Goblin Pep began to size him up with a malicious gaze.
This was probably a passive skill that every gangster or thug had mastered. When they looked at you with this kind of gaze, it usually meant to tell you to get as far away from them as possible.
However, the young man did not seem to have any intention of leaving. Facing the gnome's ferocious gaze, the traveler from a foreign land remained calm. He shook his head and said, "I don't know you."
"If you don't know us, why did you call us out?" Since threatening with his eyes was useless, Ma Deng decisively activated the second skill of a hoodlum — Ganging Up. He signaled his two companions with his eyes, and the three of them surrounded the young man. The masked man spoke in an unfriendly tone, "Also, how did you know about this place?"
"Me? I came here with this little brother. "
The traveler from a foreign land watched as the three of them surrounded him, but he did not show any panic on his face, nor did he have any intention to turn around and escape. He pointed at Lavin and said.
When the latter heard this, his expression changed, and he said resolutely, "That's impossible. When I came back, I confirmed that no one was following me."
The fake holy knight's combat level was mediocre, but his vigilance was very good. Otherwise, he would not have been able to cheat for so many years without making any mistakes.
After Lavin cooperated with the masked man to put on a show in front of the girl, he took off his clothes and ran to the nearby tavern to order a glass of orange juice. Other than killing time while waiting for his companions to catch up with him, the fake holy knight also hoped to take this opportunity to observe if there were any suspicious people behind him.
If someone was following him and saw him entering the tavern, of course, he would have no choice but to follow him in. When Lavin left, he would have to follow him out as well. Otherwise, he might lose track of his target. Naturally, the identity of the other party would be exposed.
This was the most effective way to test if he was being followed.
The fake holy knight was very sure that he did not see the person who followed him in and out of the tavern. He was very careful along the way and did not let his guard down at all. All the way to the Orc Butcher's butcher's shop, there were no suspicious people behind him.
So, where did this guy come from? Lavin could not figure it out.
Apparently, the young man did not have any intention of taking the initiative to explain himself. He only said to the three of them, "Wait a minute." After that, he ignored them and walked towards the butcher's shop.
Marden watched helplessly as the masked man walked past him. Logically speaking, he should have stopped the masked man and taught him a lesson. However, for some reason, the masked man could not muster up the courage to do so. When the two of them walked past each other, Marden felt as if someone was strangling his throat. The strong suffocation made him unable to even move his little finger.
The other two were not any better. When the young man's figure disappeared from their sight, the three of them had a look of relief on their faces at the same time.
The masked man initially wanted to brag a little and find an excuse for his cowardly behavior just now. However, after seeing the reaction of his two companions, he understood that there was no need for him to say anything anymore.
The three of them trembled in fear when they saw the young man's back. They looked at each other and saw the deep fear in each other's eyes.
Then, Goblin Pep thought of something and hesitated for a moment. "Hey, did he not pay when he entered the shop just now?"
The three of them turned to look at the Orc Butcher who was busy chopping meat. The latter snorted coldly and said, "I can't beat him. How am I supposed to collect the money?"
The three of them gasped when they heard that. Then, Marden seemed to have realized something. "Wait a minute. Does that mean you can beat the three of us?"
The three of them had never seen the Orc Butcher in action, so they did not know how strong he was. Usually, he seemed to be a little powerful, but the three of them felt that a butcher could not be that powerful. Although the three of them were not professionals, their skills were considered good among ordinary people. Deep down, they still had a little pride of being experts.
However, they met a really powerful person today. They were a little shocked, so they wanted to see if they could gain some confidence from someone else.
