The arrogant, fragile little lord raised his head and said haughtily, "Given that someone in your team gave the lord a greasy look, the lord's overall favorability towards your team has decreased by 10 points, so you can only take one hundred fish balls at a time!"
What?!
Ah Jing glanced at the flamingo.
"My lord, I'll immediately sever all ties with her as a teammate, is that alright? If not, I'll immediately sever all sibling ties with her!"
Flamingo: "..."
Oh no, she even thinks her brother is crazy when she wakes up in the middle of the night, okay?
The lord threw one hundred fish balls to the black and white whales and then received two hundred gold coins.
"Alright, our lord is magnanimous and doesn't want to get entangled with you. You should leave now and not lower our lord's favorability again!"
"That's right, the lord still loves us the most! We mere mercenaries are nowhere near as close to the lord as we are!"
"Exactly! Humph, these little mercenaries!"
***
On the outskirts of the city of mist, the two siblings were still arguing.
"Why did you give the lord such an indescribable look?!"
"What do you mean 'indescribable'? Bro! It's just shocking, okay?!"
"It's clearly greasy!"
"You have the nerve to talk to me like that? You were just hiding behind me, so the lord didn't see you. If he had, your favorability rating would have dropped by 20. You should thank me. If I hadn't taken the bullet for you, you wouldn't have gotten a hundred fish balls after the favorability rating dropped by 20. You'd get fifty at most!"
"...."
"Stop talking. Let's try to improve the lord's favorability. If we're restricted from taking goods, our grand plan could be nipped in the bud!"
The flamingo ignored her brother; the two of them had entered the inner circle today.
Because things in this area are now being marked by the military, very few people come here anymore.
The flamingo was thinking of reminding her brother whether they should change where they sold their goods.
Then they saw someone emerge from the mist.
"Brother, brother, someone's here!"
To be precise, they are beast-like beings!
A man about two meters tall, with countless tentacles on his body, exudes immense pressure simply by walking over without doing anything; each tentacle grabs a person.
That is….
That legendary man!
A man with Kraken blood!
Ah Jing swallowed hard and backed away.
"Arjun, if that Kraken attacks us later, you have to carry me!"
"You absolutely have to take me flying with you!"
Ah-Jung pouted: "You just said you were going to sever ties with me as a team member and as a sibling, have you forgotten already?"
Ah Jing's eyes glistened with tears.
"My dear sister, here's the deal: if you take me with you this time, I'll definitely put in a good word for you with the lord when we get back! I'll definitely earn back your goodwill!"
Arjun touched his chin.
"You said it yourself!"
"Yes, yes, I said it. Don't worry, I always keep my word. Don't you know that?"
"But bro, Kraken's tentacles are really long. I'm afraid I'll get snatched up by them before I can even take flight!"
Waaaaah~ Is it fate that's going to kill him?
Kraken's humanoid figure emerged fully from the mist, and apart from its countless tentacles, it was actually a handsome and dashing humanoid!
Especially that face.
The black and white whale opened its mouth wide.
"This...this is a bit too much!"
"They all have beastman genes, so why are Kraken genes superior?"
Black and White Whale considered himself to be fairly good-looking among the Orcs, but compared to the Kraken, he was nothing more than a firefly.
The flamingo shook its head.
"Even among the orcs, there are differences in appearance, which are entirely inherited from bloodlines. Look at those bat-orcs in the territory... it's truly indescribable! And look at Kraken's handsome appearance, equally indescribable!"
However, no matter how complicated things are, there are still risks involved. Even though the flamingo thought Kraken was incredibly handsome, it still adopted a defensive stance. Who knew that Kraken would launch a human bomb attack?
He threw out thirty or forty people using his tentacles.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people ran in from another direction, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be familiar faces.
Isn't this the advance suicide squad?
And that appearance fraudster.
However, the deceitful man did not first examine the orcs thrown on the ground, but instead bowed deeply to Kraken.
"Thank you so much for saving our lives, sir! Our team has no way to repay you!"
Kraken reached out.
The conman, who was only good-looking, was quite embarrassed...
"My lord, there really aren't any left, not a single one. You ate them all!"
He devoured the remaining fifty seaweed rice rolls, leaving none behind.
The Kraken isn't lacking blood; it's all because the seaweed rice rolls are so delicious. Each tentacle eats one piece, and hundreds of tentacles only manage to eat half, naturally making the other tentacles unhappy.
Ah Jing originally thought that Kraken would give money to the appearance con artist after rescuing people, but it turns out that the appearance con artist gave... it seems to be food.
The Kraken was very unhappy because it hadn't eaten anything. It kept slapping the ground with its tentacles, and the black and white whales and flamingos were terrified, afraid that a single tentacle would kill them.
The flamingo tugged at its brother's clothes.
He gestured with his chin.
They were siblings who had harmed each other for over twenty years, so naturally they could tell what the other was up to with just a glance.
The black and white whale reluctantly took out half of the fish balls.
He took a few steps forward.
"Hey, Kraken!" Calling him "big brother" is definitely the right thing to do.
"Do you like these fish balls?" Fifty fish balls! This trip has resulted in the loss of a hundred gold coins. Sure enough, even being a middleman has its risks!
He opened a small package containing five fish balls, and threw one out first.
"I'm sorry, Brother Kraken, these fish balls taste better when they're cooked, but you're a deep-sea troll, you shouldn't care whether they're raw or cooked, right?"
Kraken caught a fish ball with one of its tentacles, then patted the appearance fraudster with its other tentacle.
The appearance con artists clearly understood the situation. After confirming that no one else was injured and had just slipped on their bottoms, they skillfully set up the pot, started the fire, and then the Kraken's tentacles sprayed water.
Immediately after the water boiled, the conman gestured for the black and white whale to drop fish balls.
The black and white whales and flamingos were greatly shocked.
"Is...is this okay?"
Fire on the battlefield!
They completely rely on the strength of the Kraken to look down on all mutants!
Black and White Whale poured the fish balls into the pot, and then imported a few more bags of fish balls from his spatial button. Each bag contained five fish balls. He offered these bags to Brother Kraken to try. If they were good... he would cook a few more bags.
Waaaaah~
One hundred gold coins!
His one hundred gold coins!
The fish balls were cooked in no time. Ignoring the fact that they were still piping hot, he happily ate them one by one, his tentacles that hadn't had any seaweed rice rolls before!
