In order to fight for a chance to live, the young thief was extraordinarily cooperative this time. Not only did he explain his background clearly, but he also told them everything about his ancestors, including his parents, brothers and sisters. The only thing missing was the color of his underwear.
With this basic information, it was equivalent to holding onto Grimm's lifeline.
As the saying goes, a monk can run, but not the temple. If the young thief really did something regrettable in the future, at least before taking action, he would have to think about the possible revenge his family might face.
In order to ensure that what he said was the truth and not a lie made up on the spot, Archmage repeatedly confirmed it several times. Finally, he announced that the young thief had passed the test and successfully surrendered.
Grimm, who had escaped death, had tears in his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
Lolo pulled Archmage aside and whispered, "You had this idea from the beginning, didn't you?"
"Huh? What idea? "
"You didn't plan to kill him at all. The reason why you said that was to make him follow us obediently."
"Hah, don't be fooled by his good attitude now. Don't forget that no matter what, we have taken away all his gains for the past month. If we let him go just like that, when he returns to the surface, he will definitely find a way to plot against us. Instead of that, it's better to keep him by our side. At least under my eyes, he won't be able to play any tricks." Rob said, "But if you talk to him directly like that, he will definitely come up with something. Tsk tsk, this guy is a typical masochist. He won't be honest until he is tortured."
"Uh, speaking of gains … I don't think I have time to open the bag you brought back." Lolo had to watch over the young thief and did not have time to touch the bag. With the old thief Edward as an example, the girl dared not let down her guard for even a moment. She was afraid that if she was not careful, Grimm would slip away.
When everything was over, the first thing Lolo did was to check the bulging backpack.
Hmm, it seems to be quite heavy.
The novice Hero opened his bag and was immediately dazzled by the dazzling silver inside. The bag was filled with silver coins, and there were around 700 of them. If converted to gold coins, it would be equivalent to 18 gold coins. This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
In addition to the pile of materials they found earlier, the total value reached an astonishing twenty-four gold coins, which was just enough to cover the debt of the little follower.
In other words, the rookie Brave's wealth had finally recovered to the state it was before he met someone's gambling addict father.
"God! How many people have you extorted? "
"That … seventy or eighty adventurers? If you count the attendants, there are even more people. " Green didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he felt proud. However, this guy did have a reason to be proud. He was just one person, but he had tricked hundreds of people, including some Grade 2 professions. Well, in a sense, this was indeed something to be proud of.
But when he thought that the money he had worked so hard to scam was now in someone else's hands, the young thief immediately felt discouraged.
But no matter what, at least his life was saved, and he avoided the tragic fate of losing both his life and his wealth.
As long as he was alive, there was still a chance! Moreover, he had decisively surrendered when he saw that the situation was not good. He had grasped the timing very well, and he had also avoided some physical pain.
Just as he was comforting himself, the next moment, Grimm saw a fist growing larger and larger in front of his eyes …
The young thief was caught off guard and was hit. He covered his nose and fell to the ground, dumbfounded. He had no idea why he would be hit by such a punch.
Are you kidding me? Didn't I already surrender?
Didn't everyone say goodbye to each other? Didn't my camp reputation level increase to 'Friendly'?
But what was with this sudden punch?
Blood gushed out from the gaps between his fingers and dripped to the ground. Compared to the pain in his nose, Grimm's panic was stronger.
Could it be that the other party had changed his mind and decided to silence him?
But when the young thief turned to look at his new master, he found that the latter's expression was as surprised as he was.
Damn it! So it was his own decision? If it was before, Grimm might have been afraid of Rob, but now they were both followers of Brave, a rookie. In terms of status and identity, they were completely equal. Of course, from an emotional point of view, Lolo was definitely closer to the youth. After all, he was just a newcomer, and the time they spent together was not as long.
But he also had an advantage, didn't he? Who was it that said that humans were animals that loved the new and hated the old?
Moreover, compared to the weak scholar, Grimm was a true adventurer. He was skilled, quick-witted, and had superb acting skills that could win him an Oscar.
As long as he was given some time, the young thief was confident that he could gradually replace the youth's position in the hearts of the Grade 1 Swordsman.
A thought flashed in Grimm's mind. Wait, this meant that the punch from the sky was not without a reason!
Could it be that the guy opposite him had a premonition that after he joined, he might be swayed or even replaced, so he kept urging his master to get rid of him? In the end, Lolo chose to accept him, which made the youth feel a sense of danger. This action made him feel ashamed and angry, which was why he attacked him!
Yes! That must be it! In the end, he was still a young man, so impatient.
The young thief felt that he seemed to have grasped the key point.
If it was an ordinary person who suffered a punch, it was likely that they would fly into a rage. But Grimm was not an ordinary person. He quickly realized that this was the perfect opportunity to provoke the Grade 1 Swordsman and her little follower. Although in terms of strength, Grimm was confident that he could crush the opponent, if he fought back at this time, he would be at a disadvantage. The best way was to put on an innocent and aggrieved face, and the rest was to wait and watch the show.
Sure enough, after seeing this scene, Lolo was extremely shocked. "You … What are you doing?"
"Beating him up," Archmage said truthfully.
Lolo was speechless. "Of course I know you are beating him up. His nose is bleeding all over the ground. As long as one is not blind, they can see that he was hit in the nose. But the point is, why are you bullying him?"
It was obvious that the girl was a little angry this time. "No matter what he did in the past, now that we have decided to accept him, we are all … Well, friends. How can friends fight each other?"
