Punching yourself?
Come on, how could there be such a stupid person in this world!
Grimm sneered in his heart. Making up a story required some skill. His nose was still hurting. Fortunately, Lin Li was not a professional. Otherwise, the little thief's nose would have been broken.
However, this punch was worth it!
If there was a so-called friendliness system, Lolo's affection for the young man must be decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Thinking of this, Grimm felt that his nose did not hurt as much anymore.
Although the nosebleed had yet to stop, the little thief's mind was already fantasizing about using this opportunity to take over the young man's position in Luo Luo's heart and become her number one … uh, lackey.
At this thought, the young Thief couldn't help but look at a certain someone with a smug expression.
"Although I don't know what you're showing off about, do you really think you can go back with us unscathed?" Rob said with a pained expression.
"Huh?" Grimm was stunned.
"Tsk tsk, have you forgotten what you did so quickly?" Archmage reminded in a friendly manner. "You used despicable means to successfully lead our exploration team to a fork in the road, and then ran away without looking back, leaving us there to die."
"…"
"I don't think I need to tell you how bad this kind of thing is. Even if we don't have any objections now and accept you into our team, how do you think the others will react when they see you swaggering towards them when we return?"
"Oh, right." Luo Luo was surprised to hear this. "How did I forget about that?"
Although she was also deceived by the little thief, she did not suffer any loss in the end. Instead, she gained a large amount of wealth for free. Naturally, she did not have much ill feelings towards Green. Moreover, the little thief's acting skills were excellent. Seeing his pitiful appearance, the girl's heart softened. She did not intend to pursue the previous matter.
However, it was hard to say what Hanson and Edward were thinking. In fact, the rookie Hero could more or less guess what they were thinking. Because of a momentary act of kindness, it was inexplicably used by others, resulting in the entire team being in danger. No one would feel good if such a thing happened to them.
If the little thief appeared in front of them now, he would definitely not have a good ending. He might even be killed on the spot.
With Grimm's intelligence, he naturally understood this quickly. The young thief immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Wait, that means that the guy punched him in the nose was really to save him?
The reason was simple — when he appeared in front of the others, he would be able to reduce the anger in everyone's hearts. At least it was better than standing there arrogantly. If everyone felt that he had received the punishment he deserved, they would not kill him again.
The rookie The Brave gave Zhang Heng a thumbs up and praised, "You're really thoughtful. But shouldn't you at least ask for the person's opinion before you act?"
"Oh." Archmage followed Zhang Heng's advice and raised his eyebrows at the little thief. "Do you have an opinion?"
"No."
He had obviously been punched in the face, but now he had to personally admit that the other party had done a good job. Gritting his lips and squeezing out these two words from between his teeth, Green really wanted to cry but had no tears, and then he found that even more unlucky things had yet to come.
Now that he understood the reason for the punch, the young thief realized that he seemed to have no other choice. It was only a small wound on his nose, but it was still far from enough to appease everyone's anger. In order to make himself look even worse, he had to continue to work hard.
No matter what, getting beaten up was just a little physical pain. Saving his life was the most important thing.
So, the young thief had no choice but to approach Archmage again. "That … Let's continue."
"Continue what?"
"Continue, uh … Hit me." When Grimm said this through gritted teeth, he felt that he was really hopeless. Before this, he would never have thought that one day he would actually beg someone to beat him up. But even he had to admit that the problem pointed out by Zhang Heng was very important. In a sense, it was not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Heng saved his life, although the way he did it was a little unpleasant.
However, what he did not expect was that the guy in front of him actually rejected his request.
"No." Archmage was very straightforward.
The young thief was dumbfounded. "Wh … Why?"
"Because my hand hurts." Rob told the truth. As a Mage who never used his hands in a fight, this was the first time Your Honor, a future Supreme Magister, tried to beat someone up with his own hands. In the end, he decisively gave up after the first punch. Although he was using his fist to punch someone's face, the effect of the force was mutual. This punch may have caused the young thief's nose to bleed, but Rhode's fingers also hurt from the impact.
Of course, more importantly, Archmage did not have any grudges with the young thief. Beating him up would not give him any extra pleasure.
With that thought, Rob naturally did not have the intention to continue.
"Then … Then what should we do?" Grimm felt as if he was struck by lightning. He looked at the Grade 1 Swordsman beside him for help.
Lolo hurriedly waved her hand. "Don't look at me. Ugh, I can kill monsters and whatnot, but it feels weird to hit my own people."
Hence, there was only one path left in front of Grimm.
The young thief's eyes widened, and with a trembling voice, he let out a sorrowful cry. "You … You're not really planning to let me do it myself, are you?"
Lolo was kind-hearted. It seemed that she could not bear to see the tragedy that was about to happen. She patted the young thief's shoulder and encouraged him. "We won't watch the rest. You can do it, we'll wait for you outside."
…
Two magic hours later.
Hansen looked at the rookie Braveheart and her little attendant who had returned, and he finally heaved a sigh of relief. In the past ten hours or so, every minute and second had been torture for him. It was rare for him to receive some good news. The missing Luo Luo and Luo Bu had returned.
"You … Where did you go?"
"We went to solve a small problem," Archmage said as he pulled out a guy who was covered in bruises from behind him.
Hansen and the others did not recognize the person in front of them immediately. After all, Grimm was in a terrible state. Not only was his nose bleeding, but his eyes were swollen like pandas. Half of his front teeth were broken, and his body was covered in bruises and whip marks. He looked like a male escort who went to an S&M party.
In the end, Hilton's eyes were sharper. He pointed at the young thief and said, "Hey, it's you! Hahahaha, I didn't think you'd have such a day. "
The blond man was still angry about the previous incident, but after seeing Grimm's miserable state, he took pleasure in his misfortune.
