Haug had been very unhappy recently.
His identity as a commoner had caused this former leader of the Devil Valley to suffer everywhere. Whether it was looking for a job or studying, he was always looked down upon. Sometimes, he really wanted to yell at those guys who were blind and looked down on him, "I'm a Level Five Supreme Martial Artist. If we weren't in the Human Valley, you wouldn't even be qualified to lick my feet …"
However, this was the Human Valley, a place where no force could be used at all.
If Haug had been good at Puppet War Dolls, he would have been able to make a name for himself even if he was a commoner.
However, he had despised those slow and unintelligent Puppet War Dolls since he was a child. He felt that these things that couldn't be upgraded had no future, and it was better to cultivate a battle beast with high potential. Therefore, as a cultivation maniac, he never wanted to waste time on Puppet War Dolls.
It was too late to regret now!
If it weren't for Ren Tiange, the Great Sage Silver Pupil, and a few other companions who took care of him from time to time, perhaps Haug would have become a beggar. Even with his temper, there was no way he could honestly work for some lowly and snobbish businessmen. What's more, those jobs were extremely exploitative. He wasn't a slave who was destined to be exploited since birth and had long resigned himself to his fate. He was a reincarnated person who possessed the strength of a fifth-level Supreme Martial Artist. No matter how great the pressure of life was right now, he couldn't put himself in the shoes of a commoner who was constantly bullied and humiliated.
"Get out! You can't even do a small job well, and you dare to offend your superiors and criticize my arrangements? Lowly commoner, get out of here right now and never let me see you again! " In a shop, the manager's spittle flew everywhere, spraying the angry Haug with vicious words, telling him to get out of here immediately.
"You damn maggot!" Haug was so angry that his face was about to change shape.
It was obviously this bullshit manager who didn't explain clearly and made a mess of the work arrangements, which led to the accident.
If it weren't for Haug's outstanding ability, the mistake would have been even bigger. It could be said that Haug single-handedly saved the entire project and minimized the damage to the store. Logically speaking, he should be rewarded, but the store manager actually put the blame on Haug in order to shirk responsibility.
If Haug could use force now, he would tear this guy apart alive in his rage, and then put him together in thirty different positions as a corpse.
Unfortunately, this was the Human Valley.
Haug, who had the power to look down on all the warriors in Nut City, could only be a worker who had been kicked out of the house.
Originally, Haug had wanted to endure it and save some money to buy the lowest-level puppet beast, then go out and take some mercenary jobs to gradually turn his poor life around. With his strength as a fifth-level Supreme Martial Artist, even though he couldn't fight directly, he believed that he could successfully complete many difficult mercenary missions by manipulating the Puppet Beasts, even if they were of the lowest level … The problem was that the current him really couldn't stand it any longer. Ever since he entered the valley until now, he hadn't had a single day of comfort. Every day, he was either scolded or dismissed, and even chased away like a beggar!
"I'll buy a Puppet of War right now and come back to tear down your stupid shop." Haug was driven out and roared angrily. Because of his low status and bad temper, he often quarreled with his employers. Haug was considered a "celebrity" in Nut City.
Many people who ridiculed him even gave Haug a nickname.
They called him "Mountain Cannon."
Some busybodies even secretly calculated for Haug to see how many employers would fire this commoner who had just returned from a study trip. It was also because of Haug's reputation that many villains also held the mentality of teasing him. They deliberately hired Haug and then made things difficult for him, forcing Haug to make a fool of himself in order to increase the number of jokes.
As the saying goes, poverty stunts ambition. Sometimes, Haug knew that others had bad intentions, but in order to save money, he had to bite the bullet and accept it.
For example, today's store manager was one of them.
He had no real intention of hiring Haug. He was only thinking of ways to mess with him, and in the end, he almost destroyed the shop he was in charge of.
Under so many malicious insults, it was hard for Haug not to suffer a tragedy!
After Haug went out, a worker in the store, Gan Lin, caught up with him and secretly gave him a small bag of broken crystals.
"This is the savings of you and your sister for more than ten years. Why?" Haug had never felt so heavy in his life. It was so heavy that even his heart could not bear it.
"Sister said that you're not an ordinary wanderer. You're a good man with dreams and pursuits … You're different from us. I'll be a commoner for the rest of my life. I'm of low birth and have no special skills. I reckon that I won't be able to achieve anything great in this lifetime. "Sister and I have discussed this. I'll give you these broken crystals to buy a puppet beast. With it, you might be able to walk out of Nut City in the future and achieve your goals and dreams! "Haug, I-I-I'm a lowly commoner who doesn't even have dreams. I hope that these can help you achieve your dreams. And, I-I can only do this little bit!" Gan Lin, who was thin and timid, was the only one who would talk to Haug. However, Haug had never thought that this timid youth would actually take out all of his family's savings to help him.
"Gan Lin, these are all of your savings. If you give them to me, what will happen to you and sister?" Haug had seen Gan Lin's sister before. Due to her congenital deficiency, she was bedridden all year round and was so weak that a gust of wind could blow her away. She was blind and blind. Other than trying to weave red ropes and some small handicrafts to help supplement the family's financial situation, she could not do anything else. Even going out for a walk had become a luxury.
Holding the money pouch in his hand, he felt the light yet heavy crystal fragments.
Just how many ropes did the blind sister weave, how much paper did she cut, and how many small handicrafts did she have to do to save up this sum of crystal fragments?
And this Gan Lin had always been bullied and humiliated.
Not only did she have to do the heaviest and most tiring work, but the shop owner also deducted her wages and even beat and scolded her every two to three days … Looking at the scars on her thin shoulders caused by carrying heavy goods for a long time, looking at the swollen face after being beaten, and the sincere gaze that was still willing to help others fulfill their dreams despite the despair of life, looking at the starving girl in front of him who was always in a weak state and holding the bag of crystal fragments that had been accumulated for a long time.
Haug had an urge to burst into tears.
He hated himself for not being able to let this pair of siblings live a good life. Instead, they had to use their lifetime savings to help him.
"We're used to it. It's okay, we still have food, and it's almost time to get our wages. You don't have to worry about us." Gan Lin looked back at the shop timidly. After making sure that the shop owner would not take out a broom and beat them up, she whispered, "Of course, we also hope that you succeed. If you succeed, you might become a mercenary group leader in the future. When that time comes, let me follow you. I'll definitely work hard for you and won't hold you back … Sister said that you'll definitely succeed because you're a person who has the courage to pursue!"
"Yes." Haug's voice was a little shaky. "I'll definitely succeed!"
"I have to go back to work, or else the shop owner will beat me up again." Gan Lin heard the curses coming from the shop and hurriedly said goodbye to Haug.
"Gan Lin." Haug could not help but shout.
"What?" The timid and thin boy turned around in surprise.
"Wait for me, I'll definitely come back!" Haug held the bag of crystal fragments tightly. He really wanted to make a hundred promises to the boy, but he was afraid that he would not be able to fulfill them and let the boy down. But Haug was absolutely sure that no matter what, whether he succeeded or not, he would definitely come back and change the lives and destinies of this boy and his sister.
"Come on, you'll definitely succeed …" Afraid that the shop owner would hear her, Gan Lin tried to keep her voice as low as possible.
At the same time, she waved her hand as a way of cheering Haug on.
His back was seen disappearing from the shop.
Haug felt that his eyes were a little hot.
He had never thought that he would have such a day where he would be reduced to the point where he needed help from a pair of siblings who did not even have the strength of an Earth Rank. Moreover, that sister was a blind disabled person who was bedridden all year round.
But it was even more impossible for him not to accept their good intentions. If he wasted their good intentions, then his predicament would last even longer and his chances of success would be even further away. His return to change the lives of this pair of siblings would also have to be delayed. Weighing the pros and cons, Haug, a super expert with the strength of a Level Five Supreme Martial Artist, lowered his head and accepted the intentions of this pair of siblings. He needed this sum of money. He needed the pitifully small amount of crystal fragments to change this damned destiny!
The Puppet Guild.
Haug had used up all his savings and even pawned everything that could be used as collateral.
It was not easy for him to purchase an Iron-clawed Wolf that was not even a Bronze Rank.
This kind of weak little puppet beast outside the Human Valley would be shattered into pieces by a single sneeze from him. He had used up the last piece of crystal fragments he had on him. From now on, he would have nowhere to stay and no food to eat …
The only thing that made Haug feel fortunate was that he finally had a puppet beast.
With a puppet beast, he could fight and accept mercenary missions to earn money. In other words, he had already taken a small step on the road to success!
"Not bad, Shan Pao actually has a puppet beast. Oh my, is today the day of a salted fish's life changing?" A sharp and unkind voice rang out behind Haug. Then, a young man with sharp lips, slender eyes, and a flat nose walked over, escorted by three burly men. He clicked his tongue and mocked Haug, his voice vicious and provocative.
"Hmph!" If they were not in the Human Valley, Haug could kill this guy with one finger, but he really could not do anything to him now.
This guy, who looked like a bastard, was a relative of the mayor of Nut City.
He was the son of the mayor's cousin.
His name was Mou Ba, and he was the son of a small noble in Nut City who liked to bully the weak. Usually, he liked to bully commoners like Haug who were unwilling to accept their current situation, and he took pleasure in trampling on other people's dignity!
"Lowly commoner, you should be an obedient lowly commoner, sell your strength for us nobles for a lifetime, and be our loyal dog slave. Lowly commoners like you who don't know their place are the most annoying! Well, don't you want to make a comeback? This young master will give you a chance! "The small noble Mou Ba took out a challenge scroll and pretended to be cool and unfolded it.
A strange light flashed.
It was connected to Haug and him.
This was a challenge scroll for both parties to agree to a duel. It was a scroll for a small-scale duel that would not harm the other party's life.
Haug's expression changed drastically. He wanted to immediately run out of the Puppet Guild, but it was too late. The puppet beasts behind Mou Ba and his three followers had already surrounded the Iron-clawed Wolf that Haug had just bought.
There was no chance of resistance. One Silver-ranked hound puppet beast and three Bronze-ranked wild boar puppet beasts had instantly killed Haug's Iron-clawed Wolf.
Not to mention a four-on-one group fight, even if it was a one-on-one duel, any one of the opponent's puppet beasts would be able to defeat the Iron-clawed Wolf.
"Impossible, this is impossible. I have never agreed to your challenge." Haug's heart was in complete despair. He almost went crazy. The Gan Lin siblings' savings of more than ten years, as well as the crystals that he had accumulated in silence, and the investment of his entire fortune, to buy the Iron-clawed Wolf, the Iron-clawed Wolf that carried all of his and Gan Lin's hopes, had turned into a pile of scrap metal in less than a minute …
"The contract that you signed when you were working had your signature on it. Hahaha, aren't I very smart? Even the laws are at my disposal. A lowly commoner like you, what hope do you have? You are destined to be a slave for the rest of your life. This is the fate of lowly commoners like you. Any resistance or struggle is just a huge joke! " Mou Ba laughed maniacally. He loved to destroy other people's dreams. The more pain they felt, the more their dignity was damaged, and the more their dreams were destroyed, the happier he was, and the more he felt a sense of accomplishment.
"You …" Haug's eyes were about to split open. He had never hated a person so much in his life.
"What's the use of being angry at you? Can you bite me? If you have the ability, then step on me. If that's the case, I will definitely bark like a dog and make you happy. Unfortunately, you are the one being stepped on by me like a dog, as pitiful as a dog! Do you want this young master to pity you? Kneel down and bark. If you make this young master happy, I might even reward you with a bone! " Mou Ba laughed at the crazy Haug without restraint. The more his opponent was in pain, the more pleased he was.
"Young master, what should we do with Gan Lin and the blind girl?" A follower asked in a fawning manner.
"Throw the man into the black prison and charge him with theft. Make him stay in the black prison for the rest of his life, never to see the light of day until he turns into a skeleton. The blind girl is too skinny, a bag of bones. There's no point in playing with her. Charge her with defective goods and throw her into a rat hole to mine … What did you say? She's blind and can't mine? Hahaha, I want her to be unable to mine and stay in there to feed the rats for the rest of her life. I want her hands and feet to be eaten by the rats! Dreams, what a joke. Is dreams something that you lowly commoners can have? " Mou Ba arrogantly shouted at Haug. In front of him, Haug was so angry that he punched his chest and broke one of his ribs.
"You dare?" Haug was so angry that his body was about to explode. Blood flowed from his eyes.
"You still have the heart to resist? Haha, fun! " Mou Ba stretched out a leg and took off his shoes and socks, revealing his dirty and smelly toes. He sneered, "Kneel down immediately and lick my toes. Otherwise, I'll use my puppet beast to rape that blind girl a hundred times and play with her until her entire body explodes …"
"Lick, lick, lick. You must lick the gaps between her toes clean!" The three followers shouted in unison.
"If you don't lick, that blind girl will soon be played to death by me." Mou Ba's slender eyes were like the fangs of a poisonous snake, flashing with a sinister light.
"I'm going to kill you …" Haug was so angry that he lost his rationality. He only had one thought in his mind, and that was to kill this slut in front of him. No matter what method he used, he had to kill this guy who wasn't even fit to be called a human.
"That's just your daydreaming! It's nice to dream, but wake up, reality is very cruel! Hahaha, in reality, not only can you not harm a single hair on my head, you're also destined to be trampled on by me for the rest of your life. Your friends and family will all become the mud under my feet, trampled on and toyed with in any way. As a lowly commoner with no one to rely on, this is your fate! "Mou Ba sneered again and again, not afraid in the slightest.
"He can't kill you, but what about me?" At this moment, a voice as clear as a spring rang out from the entrance of the Puppet Guild.
Following that, a noble lord wearing an exquisite silver mask walked in, accompanied by a dozen guards.
He strode in.
He ignored the shocked Mou Ba, as well as everyone else in the surroundings.
He walked directly in front of Haug, who was in despair, and revealed a smile that was brighter than the sun. "You must be my great Titan family's long-lost cousin, Haug. A wanderer who has suffered a lot outside, now that the bitterness is over, I've finally found you. Tie Shi, bring Master Haug's noble badge, clothes, and exclusive gold-ranked beast. Although we've been separated for many years and have just been reunited, he's still a member of my honorable Titan family. No matter what, we can't let the Titan family's reputation be tarnished. "
Haug's eyes widened. At first, he couldn't believe it.
But he quickly recovered.
First, he grinned, as if he wanted to laugh, but two streams of hot tears flowed down. He couldn't hold them back no matter how hard he tried.
The noble lord wearing the exquisite silver mask was smiling. That smile was brighter than the sun, as if it could shine into people's hearts.
Haug grabbed the Silver Mask Lord's collar and roared, "What if someone maliciously tarnishes the Titan family's unparalleled honor?"
The Silver Mask Lord replied calmly, as if he was ordering his servants to kill a fly. "Whoever dares to do that, we'll just kill him. The Titan family will not tolerate provocation!"
"Alright, this bastard belongs to me! I'll fight whoever dares to snatch him from me! " After the Iron Lion had equipped a Gold-tier Bracelet on his wrist, Haug could not wait to summon a Gold-tier Lion Puppet Beast. Together, they pounced towards Mou Ba, whose face had turned ashen when he realized that the situation had taken a turn for the worse. "You bastard, didn't you want to fight me one-on-one? Alright, I'll fulfill your wish! "
