“Yes, the wealthier the family, the more unscrupulous they are in doing things,” Jin Zezhu said coldly. “If we don’t do this well, we’ll die at the hands of our prey. Of course, the chance of that is even lower than winning the lottery… Even if we do it well, the Cui family will kill us to silence us. The probability of that is very high. We can’t take that risk.”
"But brother, why did you take this job?" Cui Longcheng asked. "The commission is a lot, enough for us to live on for ten lifetimes, but we're not short of money!"
“We’re not short of money, but after so many years, it’s time for us to retire.” A faint bitterness appeared on Jin Zezhu’s lips. “It’s been three years. We’ve gone from Tier 4 to Tier 5. It’s been a full three years. Our combat power has increased very slowly over these three years. It’s impossible for us to reach the King of Soldiers rank. Even breaking through Tier 6 is difficult. New talents emerge in every generation. We will meet our rivals sooner or later.”
“That’s true,” Cui Longcheng said.
"Our opponent is a kid, but he's already at level 3 at 18. Although it's easy for us to deal with him now, if this kid isn't our prey, his growth rate is hard to predict. Maybe in two years, we won't be his match."
Kim Taek-joo said, "So, after this deal, we'll retire and never do it again."
"As long as we leave along Route Three and remain in seclusion for a while, the Cui family will know our intentions and will stop targeting us."
"Brother, you're so thoughtful. I never thought of that." Cui Longcheng gave a thumbs up.
Kim Taek-joo spat out the betel nut, silently stared at the trash can on the ground, and said, "The betel nut tastes awful today."
...
As dusk approached, many powerful groups left the entrance to the underground palace.
Nighttime is the most terrifying time inside and outside the dungeon, as the monsters inside rotate, and the monsters outside become even more difficult to deal with.
Jiang Chu and Luo Xiaonan also packed up their mechs and prepared to leave.
After a full day of fighting, the mech was badly damaged and needed a major overhaul.
"The zombies today are tough to deal with," Jiang Chu said.
"Yes, the intensity is too high," Luo Xiaonan said.
"We should take a rest tomorrow and train properly. Our overall combat strength should increase significantly!" Jiang Chu said.
"Yeah!" Luo Xiaonan looked at Jiang Chu for a while before asking, "Jiang Chu, do you want to go to the movies together tomorrow night?"
"Oh?" Jiang Chu was slightly taken aback. "Tomorrow is the premiere of Miss and Sister Feiya's movie, right?"
"Yes!" Luo Xiaonan said shyly, "I've already bought the tickets."
"Sure!" Jiang Chu nodded.
Luo Xiaonan then sent him the electronic invoice.
Jiang Chu glanced at the seats and realized that the two of them were sitting together.
In addition, Jiang Yue'er and Luo Dazhuang sat in the row in front of them.
Jiang Chu's face also turned red.
He had never watched a movie with Luo Xiaonan, neither on Earth nor on the Alliance Planet.
In the Alliance Star, Jiang Chu's "first time" was with Chen Weilin.
He watched movies with Chen Weilin during the period when she was feeling the worst after losing her father.
The most frustrating thing was that it was a romance film, and Chen Weilin cried her eyes out in his arms.
Jiang Chu did not hide this from Luo Xiaonan.
But Jiang Chu knew that Luo Xiaonan's heart was not much bigger than a needle's eye. On the surface, she said she didn't mind, but in fact she minded a lot.
Now, it's a good opportunity to make it up to her.
"It's a movie at 7:30 pm!" Jiang Chu chuckled. "I'll treat you to dinner, then we'll go see the movie. After the movie, I'll lock the two kids at home, and we'll have some alone time."
"Get lost, you shameless slut."
Hehehe!
While the group was chatting, they arrived at a deep part of a dense forest.
Luo Xiaonan asked with a smile, "Jiang Chu, it seems we've gone astray."
"I'm sorry, I did it on purpose," Jiang Chu said.
"What are you doing? Trying to be a pervert here?"
"Yeah, but it wasn't me who was harassing us, it was two bastards who came from who-knows-where!" Jiang Chu said coldly. "Get out here now! Are you waiting to be struck by lightning?"
Two people emerged from the dense forest, one after the other.
"Kid, you have a strong sense of perception!" Cui Longcheng sneered.
"You've been following us for days, I'm fed up," Jiang Chu said. "Since you two gentlemen haven't sniped us, that's giving me face. Come on, let's have some fun!"
Kim Taek-joo was somewhat surprised.
His gaze immediately turned to Jiang Yue'er and Luo Dazhuang.
He couldn't sense just how strong those two people were.
Because the two are so powerful, they can hide a large part of their strength.
In addition, their youthful faces led people to mistakenly believe that they might be even younger than Jiang Chu.
Could it be that they are taking advantage of our numbers to bully us?
Kim Taek-joo sneered.
Kid, you're a top student from a regular military academy, how could you make such a basic mistake? Ten Tier 3s are no match for two Tier 5s!
But at that moment, Jiang Chu waved his hand and said, "I'll correct your two mistakes."
First, one of them is at level 5 and the other at level 6, which makes them even more powerful than the two of us.
Second, those two won't even try; it'll just be the two of us against the two of you!
