Chapter 20: I want to get a membership, but their military bandit gang won't take it...
Is it disgusting?
Mark clearly didn't think so.
He shook his head sincerely, his face still full of smiles: "Everyone has a love for beauty. Since you, the leader, have no interest in a man as beautiful as the Son of God, why do you stop others from getting close to him?"
It also implied a deliberate provocation. Mark shrugged and turned to look at the Son of God: "Staying with a clueless guy like the leader must be tough for you. If you need someone you can confide in, come find me. I'm always available..."
"Get out of here if you don't want to die," Buster said coldly, cutting off Mark's next words.
Mark clearly only wanted to provoke the chief and didn't actually intend to lose his life. Seeing that the chief was truly angry, he quickly waved his hand.
"Don't be angry, Chief, why are you getting more and more stingy?"
Buster scoffed, "Me, petty? I can help you send a message to your lover and show him just how petty you are."
Mark realized his mistake and quickly made his escape.
In the blink of an eye, only the Storm Leader and the Son of God remained on the deck and bow. The silent Storm Leader's eyes naturally fell on the Son of God once again.
Buster didn't want the Son of God to misunderstand, but seeing the other party's indifferent expression, he felt inexplicably irritated, unsure of his own feelings.
Seeing that the Son of God remained calm and even raised his hand to feed the seagulls, the nameless fire burning in Buster's heart grew stronger. He simply turned his head away and stopped looking at Reinhardt.
The atmosphere became somewhat tense until Victoria came over and broke the silence.
“Come on, I’m tired of your clothes anyway, let’s buy us some more this time.” Victoria grabbed Reinhardt’s arm and excitedly pulled him off the boat.
Buster followed behind the two, arms crossed and silent, so Victoria pretended he wasn't there.
Victoria's destination is quite far, a vassal city within the main kingdom of the Western Continent. If she were to walk there, it would take at least two to three weeks. But if she were to teleport, it would probably only take the blink of an eye.
Time is money, and the Storm Army Thieves have no shortage of money.
“This way, Reinhardt.” Victoria led Reinhardt into the teleportation registration hall, reminding him of the steps ahead.
Two beautiful humans appeared in the hall, attracting everyone's attention. Coupled with a handsome and dignified bodyguard, they instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Reinhardt's keen hearing inevitably picked up on the less-than-friendly remarks hidden in the whispers.
But this had no effect on Reinhardt, who didn't take it to heart.
Moreover, those sounds only lasted for a short while before they all disappeared, so Reinhardt paid even less attention to them.
"The cost to teleport to Duogu City is three pounds of gold coins per person. If you purchase a membership card, the teleportation price will be discounted by 20%," the snake-like orc in charge of reception explained to Buster, who was glaring at others, and the two beautiful 'ladies'.
Victoria turned to look at the leader, blinked her big eyes, and earnestly pleaded, "Mr. Grand, I'd like to become a member."
Duo Valley is a newly emerging fashion capital that regularly hosts fashion exhibitions and jewelry parades, and Victoria believes she will become a regular there.
Members must top up at least 300 gold pounds, and although she has money in her pocket, she still feels the pinch.
Such a wealthy man is standing right here, why not take advantage of him?
The Storm Leader, who had been baring his teeth at someone, turned back with a cold expression and a somewhat fierce look in his eyes.
His gaze first fell on Reinhardt, then glanced at the beautiful woman with a calm expression, her face veiled. Buster then gave Victoria a cold look, chuckled, and tossed her a bag of gold coins from his pocket.
“You are truly the most generous person in the world… How come there are only ten gold pounds?!” Victoria exclaimed excitedly as she opened the bag.
This is unreasonable! How could the leader be so stingy?!
Oh no, are they going to go broke?!
Just as she was about to examine whether she had spent too much money lately, a cold snort from the Storm Leader pulled her back to reality.
"If it can hold out until you pay the transfer fee again, I can reimburse your membership fee."
Victoria paused for a moment, then immediately understood what she meant. She stopped worrying, took out a little over one pound and put it in her pocket, then handed the remaining nine pounds to the staff.
Of course, they used fake identities. Celine, this tech fanatic, possesses the world's most advanced technology and equipment, making it incredibly easy for her to create fake identities.
Reinhardt found it all quite novel; one second he was at the docks, and the next he was teleported to some kind of Valley City.
The surrounding area was bustling with noise, and the slightly fishy, humid air had become dry and filled with all sorts of fragrances, but those fragrances were too strong and not friendly to Reinhardt, who had a somewhat sensitive sense of smell.
Victoria noticed his curiosity and teased him with a smile, "Isn't it fun? But not every city can be teleported to, and not every teleportation point can be connected. Take the Northern Continent for example, the main city and the surrounding 100-kilometer-long affiliated cities do not have teleportation access; only nobles are qualified to use teleportation."
The country where Reinhardt lived was the dictatorship of the Northern Continent, which was constantly waging wars to expand its territory, so seventy percent of the land on that continent belonged to them.
Their capital was located in the central region. The journey from the port of landing to the main city in the central region was not only long, but each important pass was also protected by guard posts. This way, even if foreign enemies infiltrated the main city by other means, they would not be able to bring weapons, equipment or other heavy equipment.
That's why the Knight Commander, the King, and the other citizens were so terrified when the bandit group's Endless appeared over the main city.
Victoria wasn't on the ship at the time, but she couldn't stop smiling after hearing Madonna's vivid description.
"Madanna said the whole town was terrified, especially that knight commander. You didn't see it; his face was filled with shock."
The words caught in her throat, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Reinhardt, I forgot about you..."
The blonde beauty shook her head, a gentle smile spreading across her face and lips. She was so radiant, as if she were genuinely happy.
“Please don’t mind my eyes,” he said. “Only when I hear those things, those scenes, from your mouth can I truly say I saw them.”
Victoria really loves Reinhardt, so much so that she wants to hug him and rub his head, like petting a calm and collected Kapibal!
She decided to buy Kapibala the latest mini skirt!
The streets of Duogu City are luxurious and bustling, with shops on both sides selling almost exclusively fashionable clothing and luxury jewelry. A sentry stands guard at the entrance of almost every shop, responsible for maintaining order on this vibrant street.
Buster had absolutely no interest in shopping. Seeing Victoria carrying the Son of God about to approach a clothing store, he called out "Hey!" to stop them.
"I have high hopes for him."
He said this to Victoria. His intention was to remind Victoria to take good care of him, but his words sounded strangely dry.
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the crowd without looking back.
"What's going on? It's only ten gold pounds, why are you getting angry?"
Victoria, unaware of the previous events, assumed the chief was starting to feel the pinch. But she quickly reassured herself and, incidentally, Reinhard as well.
“Don’t worry about it. The leader must have his reasons for choosing to dock the ship here,” Victoria explained. “We just need to enjoy our time and wait for instructions.”
A note from the author:
----------------------
Buster (sulking) (grimacing): He didn't even react!
Madonna: He got angry when his wife didn't react after he finished speaking. There's nothing to criticize him for; he deserved it.
Buster: Shut your damn mouth!
Victoria: What a shameless person. How come you're so dishonest when it comes to relationship issues?
Buster: You shut up too!
Reinhardt (not understanding but nodding in agreement)
Buster: ... (gritting his teeth)
