The East Gate of the City-State.
The Hyena Mage's expression was grave, his sharp eyes like a hawk's, cautiously surveying their surroundings.
"Buddy, what happened?" the Hyena with a tuft of white fur on its head frowned. His old companion had been in this state since earlier.
"Someone was watching us just now."
The Hyena Mage's gaze sharpened.
Hearing this, the Hyena beside him couldn't help but sigh.
"Where is anyone? Can we stop scaring ourselves?"
"My senses are never wrong. Someone was indeed within five meters of us, and I even heard the sound of them crushing stones," the Hyena Mage stated confidently.
"Where did that person go?"
"Uncertain," the Hyena Mage shook his head. "The footsteps sounded like they were heading out of the city."
"Alas!"
At once, the Warrior Hyena threw up his hands.
"Since they're gone, let's just forget about it."
"What do you know?!" To his surprise, a fierce glint flashed in the Hyena Mage's eyes. "Think carefully about what we just said. If our conversation was overheard by anyone, or by our own tribesmen, do you think we'd get away with it?"
"You mean..."
The Hyena, who hadn't taken the matter too seriously, was startled.
*Rustle, rustle.*
Just then, faint footsteps could be heard from the direction of the city gate. The tense Warrior Hyena, almost instinctively, turned his head and shouted.
"Who!!!"
Immediately, they saw a person and a cat at the city gate, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at them.
"That..."
Chen Yu slightly hunched his neck and coughed.
"Excuse me, are you honored guests from the Hyena Tribe?"
"Is it them!" To his surprise, the Warrior Hyena glared and pointed at Chen Yu and Hei Dou, which scared the two of them quite a bit.
Chen Yu instinctively clenched his fists.
No choice.
The two of them truly had a guilty conscience.
The momentary distraction and fear just now were both feigned.
"Boss, do these two know?" Hei Dou whispered into Chen Yu's ear. Chen Yu immediately glared at him, telling him not to speak carelessly.
Although the Hyena Warrior's actions made Chen Yu uneasy.
But—
Things were not yet decided.
"Speak! Were you the ones secretly watching us just now!!" The Warrior Hyena strode forward aggressively. Chen Yu looked at him with confusion, "What are you talking about?"
"Still pretending!"
The Warrior Hyena clenched his fists.
*Bang!*
Before the Warrior Hyena could speak further, his back of the head was hit hard.
"Are you crazy?" The Hyena Mage glared, then pulled the Warrior Hyena back, a smile on his face. "Apologies, we are from the Hyena Tribe. We want to settle our bounty, and our warriors have not yet returned to the tribe, so we are also concerned about their safety."
Settle the bounty.
Hiss!
He hadn't expected that Necromancer to not pay.
Chen Yu frowned slightly.
Then, he had a general idea of how to deal with these two hyenas.
From an employment perspective, Chen Yu was the party of the first part, and the Hyena Tribe was the party of the second part. In this underground world with no contractual constraints, the Hyena Tribe's choice to receive payment later indicated that their tribal strength was not dominant.
In summary, a trash tribe.
Not worth mentioning.
With Chen Yu's current strength, he should not fear them.
"In that case, let's go into the city to talk," Chen Yu, having recognized his position, did not give the Hyena Tribe much of a good reception.
Most importantly—
He had a bad impression of these two hyenas.
Too malicious!
Betraying the tribe's warriors for a bit of money, praying for their deaths in the field. If they were Chen Yu's subordinates, he would directly cut off their masculinity and send them to the mines to dig coal.
He had no psychological burden about extorting them later.
"What's your attitude, you kid!" Seeing that Chen Yu looked down on them so much, the Warrior Hyena glared and reached out his hand.
"Da Senmu, shut up!"
The Hyena roared.
"Tengcun, this human kid doesn't take us seriously at all," the Warrior Hyena glared. "This kind of person should be taught a lesson."
Huh?
Da Senmu, Tengcun.
These names sounded a bit like people from that place where things went well.
Well.
Chen Yu now had even less psychological burden.
"Sorry, my companion's mental state might be a little unstable," the Hyena Tengcun whispered apologetically. Chen Yu snorted, "I can see that."
"Who the hell are you calling that!"
Da Senmu glared and reached out his hand, while Chen Yu puffed out his chest.
"I'm calling you, what about it?"
Still so arrogant?!
Chen Yu was now certain that these two hyenas did not know that it was him who had been secretly watching them. So, what was he afraid of?
He could jump up and fight them.
Furthermore—
He held the dirt on them, which was their leverage.
Completely at ease.
"Tengcun, you'd better tell your companion to behave himself. His attitude is seriously affecting our cooperative relationship."
Chen Yu hit them where it hurt.
From the brief exchange just now, Chen Yu could judge that the bounty was very important to them. At this moment, when Chen Yu mentioned the cooperative relationship, Da Senmu might not care, but the Hyena Mage Tengcun would definitely have a change of heart.
"Da Senmu, shut up!!!"
As expected, Tengcun's face instantly turned incredibly ugly. He almost roared at Da Senmu.
"Don't forget why we're here," Tengcun warned in a low voice. Da Senmu seemed to calm down a bit, but his gaze towards Chen Yu was unfriendly.
Chen Yu didn't care.
If looks could kill, then when Jing Ke assassinated Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang would have owed Jing Ke dozens of heads without needing to reveal the dagger.
The killing intent released in their eyes was the cheapest.
During this time, Chen Yu also used his wristband to check the realms of these two hyenas.
Da Senmu: Gold Realm.
Tengcun: Gold Realm.
The specific realm was not marked, but for Chen Yu, it was enough.
Two Golds.
It seemed he really didn't need to worry too much.
He had dealt with at least a dozen Gold Realm individuals so far. Not to mention anything else, the dungeon alone had over ten guards, several of whom were in the Gold Realm.
"Apologies, I apologize for Da Senmu's behavior. I hope you can be magnanimous." Tengcun's eyes were full of apology. Chen Yu just smiled slightly, "It's fine, I don't argue with people who have mental problems."
Da Senmu suddenly clenched his fists, while Tengcun held his hand, his face still wearing a smile.
"How about you..."
"Let's go into the city." Chen Yu lightly raised his hand. "We'll discuss the bounty matters inside."
Immediately, Chen Yu walked into the city-state with his hands behind his back.
He hummed inwardly.
Into the city!
As long as you two dare to enter the city, you'll be entering my territory, and then nothing will be decided by you two.
And that Da Senmu, furious.
Making a fuss?
I'll make you quiet later.
