Shi Tian was astonished to encounter one of the two men that had left Yolanda for death this quickly.
Though after some more pondering, he didn’t think it was much of a surprise considering how Gearits City was the closest city in the area that they were previously in.
‘Xavier, a gold-ranked mercenary and someone that’s extremely lustful. Love to flex his muscle and ability, but was a coward to the extreme once they faced an unfavorable situation.’ Shi Tian thought to himself.
From the device he had gotten from Yolanda, there was a profile list, detailing the mercenaries that she had worked with or was currently working with.
And Xavier’s profile had a lot of detail, with the former sentence added by him.
Apparently, Yolanda had worked with Xavier before, but because they had never encountered a ferocious being such as the Tenceloras, she never realized how much of a coward Xavier was.
Thus, that was her first mistake and the second mistake was having another companion, Hugo, who was similarly a coward like Xavier.
Seeing how Xavier was still attempting to flirt with the receptionist lady behind the counter, Shi Tian concentrated on his hearing to eavesdrop on what he was saying.
“Suzy dear, why don’t you give me a bit more and I’ll treat you to a fancy restaurant later tonight. I can also book a hotel room where we can relax ourselves.”
“Sir Xavier, please don’t joke with me like that. I’m just a lowly woman, unworthy of your attention.”
“Don’t you dare belittle yourself, Suzy? See this gold badge on my belt? That’s an indication of my rank in the mercenary, so whoever dares to belittle you will face my wrath.”
“Alright, the exchange rate of the monster parts would be at 1000 Eons each. Don’t forget your promise to pick me up.” Suzy said, stamping on a piece of document as approval.
Xavier made a kiss action and smiled smugly. “I’ll pick you up after work tonight. Make sure to not dress too much since they’ll be ripped anyway.”
After eavesdropping this much, Shi Tian subsequently stopped trying to listen to their conversation and waited patiently in line, avoiding attention.
Although he might have promised Yolanda to enact revenge against her two companions, the current him was simply too weak to do anything.
All he could do now was hide patiently in the shadow, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Meanwhile, Xavier received the Eons with his metallic card and made some touching actions toward Suzy before turning around to prepare to leave.
When Xavier turned around, he noticed the next person in line was glaring at him with a darkened expression.
“What’s with that darkened face of yours? Do you want to pick a fight with me?” Xavier sneered coldly, purposely moving his hips to flash the shiny gold badge by his belt.
Xavier’s public flirting and stalling were clearly causing others to be displeased, especially the next person waiting in line for his turn.
However, when the person saw the gold badge that was equipped by Xavier’s belt, the person could only remain silent and not say anything.
To them, a gold badge mercenary was similar to the nobles or those with a high reputation in Gearits City. Messing with them would definitely result in a lot of backlashes, and sometimes, even death if you offended them.
Xavier’s smug smile became wider when he saw how silent the person was.
“See you later Suzy dear,” He then waved his hand and left, acting as if he was some cool guy in an action movie.
Despite the clear arrogance and hateful behavior of Xavier, Suzy seemed to ignore all of them and her eyes seemed to be smitten completely.
It doesn’t come as a surprise that such bad boys would always receive the most affection, especially when the world had basically gone to shit where powerful and confident men are guaranteed to survive longer than anyone else.
Sometime later, the line proceeded to move smoothly, but everyone was a bit more cautious toward the receptionist lady, Suzy.
Who knows if she would suddenly badmouth them toward Xavier on their date tonight?
As for Shi Tian, he was glancing at the hologram screen, seemingly reading up the stats of his current body. He had done a previous test with Krissie and realized that only he was able to see the hologram screen, so he wasn’t afraid of opening it in public.
‘So killing humans actually gives experience points huh.’ Shi Tian thought to himself.
Originally, he was level 5, but after killing Benmos, his level had risen up to 6.
And although one level might not be much, Shi Tian could see his attribute points increased and that there were also some free attribute points to allocate.
Such benefits were as if the hologram screen was urging him to kill humans and monsters altogether without any differentiation. A cruel yet credible method to survive. .𝒄𝒐𝒎
A few minutes later, the line had shortened and it was finally Shi Tian’s turn to exchange for points. Throughout his journey to arrive here, he had killed quite a bit of monsters and stored them with a storage device courtesy of Yolanda.
“Next person please,” Suzy shouted from behind the counter, her eyes looking down, seemingly busy with her own stuff.
Shi Tian walked forward, but before he could even talk, Suzy pointed at the glass container by the right side.
“Put all the monsters or parts that you wish to exchange there and we’ll evaluate the price.” She then instructed with a nonchalant attitude.
Of course, Shi Tian didn’t mind the attitude and calmly placed a decent amount of monsters and parts without overdoing it much that would attract attention.
He was copying the other people that were ahead of him so that he would have placed the same amount or close to that amount of monsters.
And sure enough, Suzy didn’t notice any unusual activity and calculated the price swiftly.
“Total of 4 monsters with some useful parts. The exchange Eons would be 480.”
‘Only 480 Eons?’ Shi Tian was dumbfounded when he heard the total amount.
