On the way.
Kai looked embarrassed and thanked Rey.
"Thank you for what happened today. I wronged you, but you still helped to save my sister."
"I will definitely return those two silver coins to you."
"But," he clenched his fists, "don't try to have any ideas about my sister; she is not your woman either."
Rey blinked; this time he was really innocent.
No, he never said this today. It was all said by those two younger brothers.
You all heard it outside the door, so you can't blame me, right?
Rey was already notorious, and the guards on the side looked at him unkindly when they heard this, as if they were going to arrest him and Gio at any moment.
······
Outside the hut.
A group of people came to save people in great force, but they had to stop.
Just because there was an extraordinarily handsome young man standing at the door.
His name is Gon; he is the youngest guard of the City Lord's Mansion, and he is also one of the few adventurers in Reed City.
It is said that his strength has reached the threshold of releasing magic power, and he has even killed double-digit monsters.
In Reed City, Gon's reputation is as loud as Rey's, but it's just the opposite.
Vincent frowned when he saw him. If he were an enemy, things would be in trouble.
"Mr Gon, what are you doing here?"
Gon glanced at everyone, paused when he saw Rey, and then focused on Vincent, because only the latter had the strength to attract his attention.
"Master Lion asked me to guard the door here; I just did it."
He was obviously telling lies. What he said meant that he knew nothing and was just a janitor.
But judging from the fact that he didn't waver at all when he saw the guards appearing, it was impossible that he didn't know what was going on inside.
Of course, part of the reason is that he doesn't take everyone seriously.
Vincent showed his identity card to him. "We have received accurate testimony that some innocent girls were captured here. Mr Gon, if it is convenient for you, please give way."
Gon raised his eyebrows, "Whose testimony?"
"Gio's."
"Oh, that's it." Gon held his hand on the hilt of the sword. "Then I don't have to pretend; the person is inside, but you can't get in."
Seeing him preparing to take action, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the guards all held their swords.
Vincent also wanted to persuade him, "Master Lion did something stupid, but you don't have to help him. Aren't you always happy to help others?"
Gon sneered, "You would also believe in the reputation of lying to children, Chief of Guards."
"Just to show off, you'll throw yourself into a woman's arms when you find her, and when you're tired of playing with her, you'll throw her away. You still take it seriously."
Vincent's face looked ugly. He wanted to curse, but he was excellent at speaking. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to speak.
So he said, "You...you are not even as good as Rey."
Rey stood behind watching the show and was suddenly stabbed by his teammate.
No, what's wrong with me?
Gon glanced at Rey with contempt. "Compared with me, is he worthy?"
"Only the strong can enjoy fame. He is just a weak person, so he is destined to be infamous."
Rey couldn't bear it anymore and said to Vincent, "Fuck him; he is so arrogant. Just do it, and it's over. I'll help you raid the formation."
Vincent drew his sword helplessly, and he didn't expect Rey to be able to help.
"I won't hold back."
"Then you have to be qualified to keep it."
Watching Vincent getting into an attacking stance, Gon was still standing casually.
He had reached the threshold of releasing his magic power, but Vincent missed this step.
A step difference is a huge gap.
Sharp silver light suddenly appeared, and the handover of swords made a clanging sound.
Both of them were proficient in swordsmanship. They fed each other's sword moves and fought back and forth.
However, Vincent used both hands to swing the sword, while Gon only used one hand from beginning to end. There was a clear distinction between the two.
The next moment, Gon continued to swing his sword.
This sword was a little faster than the previous one, and Vincent blocked it in a hurry.
The unimaginable force shook him back a few steps, and he showed a solemn expression. The other party's reputation was fake, but his strength had no water at all.
Gon yawned boredly, which made people feel obviously provoked.
"Let's go together. It will be solved quickly. I can rest well and enjoy the evening."
Vincent's veins popped out. He knew that he could not win on his own, so he waved his hand and asked other guards to double-team him.
Those who can become guards naturally have certain strength, but if Vincent doesn't help, almost no one can catch the two moves.
The number of people continued to decrease, and soon only Vincent was left standing.
Kai watched the battle anxiously. If he hadn't been unable to use much strength now, he would have done it.
But looking at Rey's appearance of not being in a hurry, he didn't know what to say.
Rey frowned when he saw that Vincent could no longer hold on any longer. "Gon, we know each other. I gave Gio a chance, and so did you. Now get out of the way, and I'll let you leave standing."
The few people around who were still conscious looked at Rey. How could he be qualified to say this? Can't he see the situation clearly? Still pretending like this.
Gon laughed angrily, "Give me a chance; you are worthy. Do you want me to give you a chance to escape?"
Everyone thought this was so familiar.
Gio had Vincent and the others helping him at that time, but how can Rey make a comeback now?
Gon walked toward Rey, and Vincent tried to stop him but was knocked back with a sword.
The two younger brothers beside Rey suddenly shouted in panic, "Protect brother."
The two of them quickly protected Rey behind them and the injured Kai in front of them.
Kai was so depressed that he almost vomited blood and watched helplessly as the sword light fell towards him.
However, the imagined pain did not occur.
One hand steadily caught the swinging sword. When everyone saw Gon's figure, their minds were filled with blanks.
Kai suddenly realised that maybe it was Rey who saved him before, but he just couldn't believe it.
Rey stood in front of the three of them calmly and caught Gon's sword with his bare hands.
Gon's expression changed. He didn't realise how Rey came to him.
He wanted to take back the sword but couldn't.
While he was pulling hard, Rey let go, and Gon sat on the ground in a miserable state.
"Son of a bitch!"
Gon cursed angrily, stood up and waved his sword.
Rey, on the other hand, took his time and drew the sword from Kai's waist behind him. The raised sword just caught Gon's attack.
What follows is a pure crush.
The longsword danced in Rey's hand, suppressing it so much that Gon couldn't even lift his hand.
When a layman looks at the excitement, he only thinks it is extremely gorgeous.
Only Vincent could tell that the sword moves that were far better than his own were clearly the basic knight-style sword skills he taught Rey, and he was probably still at a perfect level.
But he has only been teaching for a few months, so even a genius shouldn't be that powerful.
Rey didn't show it at all.
Vincent felt like he didn't recognise this young man who was giving him a headache at all.
Gon was knocked unconscious by Rey with his sword.
"Well, in the end, you still have to do it yourself." Rey searched for the trophies. "Well, this sword is good; you can make do with it. There are only a few silver coins; is it too poor?"
He noticed that everyone was looking at him and still spoke calmly.
"You all heard it. I gave him a chance, but he didn't want it."
