Chapter 408: Chapter 280 Assassination

...

"Assassination" was another counterattack, but no one lined up in front of it. Another counter had a sign that read, "Wanted Criminals." Next to it was "Dragon Army Missions," and the queue in front of that booth was filled with mercenaries. The last booth was labeled "Other Missions."

The place was lively, yet when they saw the Guild Leader enter the hall, many mercenaries fell silent as four black-cloaked men were dragged away.

The sudden quiet made Xu Biao laugh a little awkwardly, but even so, he took a steady step forward and began explaining everything in the surroundings to Zhou Hui.

When they reached the hall, Yan Xiaobao stopped talking but still paid close attention to every movement around him.

"Alright then," Xu Biao sighed and said, "I’ll head back now to enjoy myself at my guild; I’m confident you’ll adapt quickly."

With that said, Xu Biao turned around and left the hall, leaving Yan Xiaobao and his friends behind.

Glancing around, Yan Xiaobao was very intrigued by what he saw. He couldn’t really decide which tasks to undertake first. What they called "herbal collection" and "magical beast hunting," or "Demon Beast hunting," here felt almost redundant to Yan Xiaobao since he had already done much of the same before.

Assassinations didn’t seem particularly interesting, as Yan Xiaobao only preferred to kill those who stood in his way. Ultimately, it came down to miscellaneous tasks and Dragon Army missions. Considering his distaste for the Dragon Army, Yan Xiaobao decided to head to the miscellaneous tasks booth, each step scrutinized by the extreme intensity of the room.

Seeing Yan Xiaobao make his decision, Wang Julong, Sha Yun, and Deng Wu closely followed suit, all completely silent, as the suffocating atmosphere pressed on them.

Scanning the board, Yan Xiaobao saw all kinds of tasks—from uncovering the origins of some ancient treasure, to spying on a wife suspected of cheating on her husband, to accompanying young masters into tunnels to help them sharpen their skills.

What caught Yan Xiaobao’s attention, however, was not any of those but a large poster centered prominently at the top of the board.

The annual Demon Dwelling Tournament to determine mercenary rankings.

Staring at the poster, Yan Xiaobao saw that the first-place prize was one thousand Demon Coins, the second-place prize five hundred Demon Coins, and the third-place prize two hundred and fifty Demon Coins.

Everyone was allowed to enter the competition, including half-demons. Yan Xiaobao began counting on his fingers and imagining how incredible it would be if they won that money.

Turning to look at Deng Wu, Wang Julong, and Sha Yun, none of the three could see his face clearly. However, when they guessed what was about to happen, an icy chill ran down their spines.

"Training!" was the only word Yan Xiaobao said before turning around and heading directly toward the courtyard they had been assigned.

The tournament was set to begin in just a few days, and it wasn’t anything like the one-on-one duels Yan Xiaobao had seen before. Instead, it was mercenary teams pitted against one another. Each team had to consist of at least five members, and they would fight in either group battles or five individual duels, with the first to win three advancing to the next round.

One loss meant the entire team would be eliminated. That wasn’t something that confused Yan Xiaobao. What worried him was that they were short one member, and there was no one in this world Yan Xiaobao could think of who they could rely on.

Thinking about this issue for a while, Yan Xiaobao left the courtyard again, heading toward the administrative building where Xu Biao was waiting.

When he arrived at the building, everyone courteously moved out of his way as he once again found himself outside the heavy wooden doors, waiting to hear the voice from within call him in.

Just as Yan Xiaobao expected, the voice quickly rang out, and Yan Xiaobao stepped into the room, once again coming face-to-face with the young man from earlier.

Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but burst into laughter as he saw the woman standing behind the charismatic man. Her face was beet red, undoubtedly remembering the earlier encounter when she had almost no clothes on while fleeing Xie Lan, who was cloaked in black.

Now, she stood behind the Guild Leader once again, though this time fully clothed.

"You’ve returned faster than I expected," Xu Biao said with a laugh, gesturing for the girl to leave his side. The girl frowned slightly, her lips forming a cute pout as she walked out of the room, glaring at the black-cloaked figure as the door slammed loudly behind her.

"Please forgive her behavior," the Guild Leader said with a sigh, his eyes lingering on the woman until the door closed with a loud thud behind her.

"How can I help you?" Xu Biao continued, shifting his gaze back to Yan Xiaobao. The moment the younger man saw the woman leave the room, he removed his cloak, once again revealing his features.

"We plan to enter the Mercenary Tournament," Yan Xiaobao said, neither hurried nor slow. His voice was as resolute as a mountain, his eyes brimming with determination. "Our team is short one member, and I trust you to provide us with that crucial final addition."

Hearing this, Xu Biao contemplated for a long while, trying his best to think of the most suitable candidate.

If he weren’t the Guild Master, he would have joined them himself, but that was impossible. Nevertheless, there was still someone else he could recommend. With a calm expression, he pressed down on a Memory Stone, summoning Xie Lan into the room. She entered and greeted the two men with a gentle bow.
