Chapter 46: Strange Encounter
If Mas did not know the big picture and barged in now, it would only make things worse for Belek. Therefore, Mas was not in a hurry.
After thinking for a while, Mas said to the guard at the door, “How about this? Since President Belek has a private matter to settle, after he’s done, help me inform him that I’m coming and have something to discuss with him. I’ll go around first and come back later.”
“Hey, okay. Thank you for your understanding, Sir Mas.” The guard hurriedly nodded.
After receiving the signal, Mas turned and left.
Taking advantage of his free time, Mas planned to walk around the capital city to see if he could pick up any treasures.
To be honest, the entire Trun Kingdom’s territory was not even as large as the Storm Empire’s capital city. It could be seen how strong and wealthy the empire was.
Even if Mas did not stop, he would still have to walk for seven days and seven nights.
Sensing the majesty of the Storm Empire and the first appearance of Gods in the Trun Kingdom, Mas was really curious about the legendary ten great empires.
Walking on the streets, Mas felt the completely different customs and customs from the Blue Planet.
Various demi-humans dressed gorgeously walked back and forth beside Mas. Looking at the billboard cat ladies being raised on the streets not far ahead, it really made Mas feel like he was in a two-dimensional cartoon.
Just as Mas was admiring the local culture of the alternate world, a girl with a pair of fox ears ran towards him in a panic.
Thus, the two naturally collided.
“Ouch, it hurts. Don’t you look at where you’re walking?!”
The fox-eared beauty shouted angrily because she was in pain.
Obviously, Mas, who had just been hit, had yet to react to what had happened. He looked at the girl who was slumped on the ground and the purse on the ground, then looked at the burly man who was clamoring in the distance. He naturally understood what had happened.
However, this matter clearly had nothing to do with him. With the attitude of trying not to cause trouble and trying not to cause trouble, Mas stood up and dusted himself off. He retreated to the side, planning to let the fox-eared girl continue fleeing.
The flox-eared girl’s eyes turned and she clearly thought of some strange idea. She threw the purse in her hand beside Mas and made a face at him before running towards the alley.
Mas looked at the purse beside his calf and grimaced helplessly.
“This girl is really giving me trouble…”
Mas shook his head and looked at the burly man who had come looking for him after hearing the commotion. He adjusted his posture and explained calmly, “Whether you believe it or not, I really don’t know that demi-human girl…”
When the two burly men heard that, they looked at Mas doubtfully. Then, they immediately opened the purse and counted the gold coins inside. After discovering that the gold coins were not lost, they left without a word with a scowl.
After the two burly men left, the beautiful fox-eared girl from before circled back. She looked at Mas and said in a dissatisfied voice,
“Why did you return my purse to them?”
“Miss, please correct your wrong opinion. Firstly, this purse belongs to someone else. Secondly, look at me. Even if I’m greedy for money, I can’t outrun those two burly men…”
Mas smiled as he looked at the angry fox-eared girl.
“Hmph, do you know who they are?
Those two brothers are scum who bully and exploit our demi-human race all day. If not for the sea demon Siren’s scent on you, I wouldn’t have thrown the purse to you. I didn’t expect you to be so cowardly! I really misjudged you! ”
Upon hearing this, the fox girl snorted arrogantly. Her dissatisfaction with Mas was completely revealed.
When Mas heard the fox-eared girl’s words, he asked curiously, “Why did you have to throw the purse to me when I smell like sea demon Siren?”
“The sea demons will not casually get close to you humans! Even if the sea demons are captured by you detestable humans, they will still appear very resistant, and they will not leave a unique scent on you.
Only when it acknowledges a companion will the sea demon leave its scent on that person. ”
Upon hearing the fox-eared girl’s explanation, Mas smiled in agreement.
“Alright, lass, don’t do such things again in the future. Otherwise, you’ll regret it if you’re discovered by the patrolling on the streets or really captured by those villains.”
Mas shook his head and turned to leave.
Regarding this sudden accident and this magical encounter with the fox-eared girl, he only treated it as a small interlude in his life and did not take it seriously.
After leaving the demi-human girl, Mas wandered around the street alone for a long time.
He casually ate and bought some small gifts for them.
When it was about time, he returned to the headquarters of the Sith Chamber of Commerce.
When the guard on duty saw Mas, he smiled and said, “Lord Dyson, President Belek has finished dealing with it. He’s waiting for you behind.”
Mas nodded curtly and walked straight into the hall where the front door stood.
The moment he stepped into the hall, the thick smell of blood filled the air. Asking this pungent smell, Mas frowned and did not say anything.
Such a thick bloody smell was definitely not a small matter.
Looks like there are many people involved this time…
When Mas walked to the courtyard of the Sith Chamber of Commerce headquarters, he saw many servants kneeling on the ground, wiping the blood.
Blood stained the entire courtyard.
“How many people was killed?” Mas was a little stunned.
“Oh, brother Dyson, you’re finally here. I’m so sorry to have wasted so much time on you over such a small matter as mine.”
Then came Belek’s enthusiastic voice.
Mas looked at the smile that was almost on his face. He could not tell that the other party had finished dealing with the lives of many.
“What a sly old fox…” Mas cursed under his breath.
“Brother Dyson, I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you. The last time we left the capital city, we were attacked by those bandits. It was the dregs beside me who sold us out!
Sigh, I really am blind. I was really careless. Something bad almost happened. Fortunately, I have the help of brother Dyson’s Gargoyle. ”
Belek said as he lowered his head, looking sad.
“President Belek, there aren’t many people who would betray you, right?” Mas looked at the ground full of blood and asked in surprise.
“Of course not. According to the information I received, there is only one traitor who betrayed me!”
