CHAPTER 18 : MERCENARIES

"BOSS!!!!!"

in the unknown part of the forest, a child with a beggar appearance and an unjustified haircut that looks like a moron hastily running out of his breath towards the group of mercenaries that was drinking alcohol without a reservation

"GULP - GULP - GULP, PHEW!! WHY ARE YOU SO IN A RUSH, BOOGER"

a big man who just finished drinking a beer directly on the barrel turned his head on the child with an unsightly expression

"huff...the... huff."

the child was only bracing his hands on his knees to remain standing while catching his breath; because of that, he couldn't speak properly

"WHAT WAS IT! SPEAK PROPERLY, YOU DUMBASS!"

the big man furiously kicked the child with his pillar-like feet while the beer was sprinkling on his beard

"blam, argh, argh, ugh."

he was thrown away by the relentless kick of his boss and rolled many times before his back hit the root of the tree, and almost lost consciousness

"boss, I think you went overboard for such a child."

the skinny guy holding a bottle of wine sitting in the branch of the tree while the circular shield was attached to his hand

"he was disturbing my moment with my beloved beer."

replied coarsely the big man they called boss. He was a bit drunk and almost lost his rationality to think appropriately and instinctively kicked the child out of his gut feeling.

The skinny guy stands up and comes near the child

"hey Booger, are you still there? wake up"

he wiggles his body by using his boots to confirm that Booger is still alive

"don't pretend booger before my patience run off."

"argh"

booger was still wriggling on the ground, and he cant even move his body to stand up because of the surprise kick from the full-grown man that landed on his young body.

it was so painful for him, but he forced himself to regain his wavering consciousness because he was afraid that he might take another beating if he didn't answer their question immediately

"hey, booger so you didn't want to stand up huh?"

the skinny guy stepped his feet on the back of Booger and poured the wine on his head to make him awake improperly

"if you didn't wake up I will light your head with this"

a fire lit up on the tip of the finger of the finger

booger was a homeless child and unfortunately encountered this group of mercenaries in the city where he was living as a beggar before,

The mercenaries group liked him because of his exceptional talent that can hide presence effortlessly, and he can easily go behind in any senses of humans and even animals.

" the... the blue.... fangs tribe."

bruises can be seen in every part of his body, and blood was oozing in his mouth, forehead, and his forearms

like he was beaten by a hundred man

" what happen?!"

when their boss hears the blue fangs tribe, the effect of the alcohol suddenly leave his body and put down the barrel of beer he was holding to get near to the skinny guy

" It seems they were in chaos because of the explosion that occurred"

when Booger see the shadow of the big boss covering his sight, he endures the unbearable pain all over his body to respond correctly to him

"Ohh, finally, the wait is over, boys. It looks like our dog homies are quite busy; let us offer them a helping hand."

the other men in the group smile wickedly and an expression that can only do by a group of maniacs which is in thirst of blood and slaughter

"you have done a great job booger."

the big boss leans towards him and pat his head drenched in wine with a delightful expression

"BOSS, what about our deal? As you've said, I've done a great job."

this time Booger has wholly overcome his pain because of the trickle of hope that his boss promised to him before

"don't worry my boy booger your sister was in a good place, I will personally give her back to you after we finish this task on hand, okay?"

different from before the big boss suddenly become a caring person and he seems to have some quite favorable expression to booger

"understood boss"

Booger's face was contorted from the extreme pain he was in was now changed to the bright smile like he was smiling at the god of fortune himself, and it was remarkable to him that he could still smile despite all the bad treatment they were doing to him.

"Good boy, keep the good work, and I will reward you and your sister someday with a huge amount of money where you didn't have to work hard."

"thank you, boss."

"I hope you can forgive me. I was a little bit drunk when I hit you, and I didn't mean it."

"I understand boss, it's also my fault to pop out of nowhere shouting hastily, and when I'm already at your front, I can't even properly speak."

"Yeah, it's all your fault, but I'm really sorry. I hope you're not hurt badly from my kick."

" don't worry, boss, I'm completely fine. I can manage myself."

"Okay... we will be going to go in the turf of those wolf bastard."

"Good luck boss"

"OKAY BOYS ARE ALL READY WE WILL COLLECT SOME EXPENSIVE WOODS TODAY, TOMORROW WE WILL FEAST WITH ALL OUR HEART CONTENT AND ENJOY ALL KINDS OF ALCOHOL AND WOMEN ON THE TOWN, SO DONT MESS UP THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY"

the big boss turns to his men and give them a brief reminder of their goal

"YESS BOSS!!!!"

they all replied spiritedly

"for the women... for the beer!! wooh"

"let us go. The mellow stone wood is waiting for us to take"

the big boss grabbed the battle-ax that has the same height as him, and he smiled with full of malice
