Adventurer of the Elf World

Hearing this, Shota suddenly became furious, but the rope that tied him showed no sign of loosening. He could only scream at Xiu, his originally pale face showed a strange flush, and the veins on his neck sprouted.

He looked like he wanted to eat Xiu's flesh.

Xiu simply leaned back to avoid it, turned back, threw away the iron bar, and continued to say to him:

"But I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to find her trouble. I already dislike her. Why would the boss give such an important business to a fool like her to manage!"

"Ah! I'm going to kill you!" Shota struggled hard, and every time he touched the wound, there were bursts of pain. His face was distorted, but he still had no intention of giving up, and he glared at Xiu angrily.

"Don't you think you like her?" Xiu looked at him and smiled, took the initiative to approach him and whispered: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money here, I believe she will have it. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to do some research..."

Xiu's weird tone and that evil smile directly penetrated Shota's will.

He suddenly screamed like he had lost his will.

Kurokawa saw that the rope binding Shota tightened and made some strange sounds as he struggled, as if it was about to break in the next second.

There was a trace of panic in my heart, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Xiu, wanting to remind him, or in other words, seeking a sense of security.

But he found that Xiu still looked calm. Although he couldn't see the expression behind the mask, that calmness also infected him, and the waves in his heart began to slowly calm down.

The previous series of operations had consumed most of Xiang Tai's physical strength. This burst of adrenaline-stimulated energy was like water without a source, quickly draining the last bit of his physical strength. At the same time, he also realized something. He fell silent, looking desperate.

"Ha~ are you very unwilling?"

A sneer rang out, and Xiu said in a mean tone, "I heard that you still have parents and a younger brother at home, right? You seem to have given up the opportunity just to give your younger brother a chance to go to school~"

Shota didn't answer, but the lowered head slowly raised, his eyes fixed on Xiu, and the deep hatred in them was not concealed at all.

"It's a pity~ The money is definitely not enough, so I can only make do with it and go back to work..." Xiu Qian leaned closer, "Don't worry, I will help you take good care of Yuan and your parents and brothers~"

As he said this, Xiu took out a fruit knife from somewhere and put it on his neck, slowly making gestures.

Seeing this, Kurokawa on the side finally couldn't help but speak up.

"This... this is not good... it would be troublesome to kill someone..."

"You have been in Joban City for so long. Don't you know that the Joban Forest is very violent in summer? Every year, one or two people die from attacks by elves. This kind of thing is completely normal."

When Shota heard this, he knew what would happen next, and his eyes gradually lost their light and became dim.

Kurokawa listened to Xiu's understatement and didn't dare to say anything more for a while.

He didn't know anything. He knew that his family was still waiting for him and nothing could happen to him.

But at this moment, a series of sounds came from Xiu's body very suddenly.

"Uh! The next order is so fast..." Xiu casually put the stuff into Kurokawa's hand aside, and then made a throat-slitting motion towards him.

"I believe you know how to do it~"

After saying that, he patted his shoulder and turned around and walked outside, disappearing into the darkness where the firelight could not reach.

Kurokawa stood there dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that there was a knife in his hand. When his hand shook, he almost dropped it to the ground, but he subconsciously grabbed the knife.

When he looked up at Shota, he found that the other person was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other.

Just the next second, the sound of quarreling in the darkness attracted their attention.

【no! The amount of embezzlement of public funds is too large. This kind of person will have no effect in the world and will only damage the company's interests! 】

[This time it shows that she knows people poorly. Boss, do you still believe her? 】

【……】

【Yes. 】

The quarrel became more and more intense, but soon subsided. After a few seconds of silence in the darkness, footsteps could be heard.

Xiu's figure reappeared in the firelight.

Although it was blocked by the mask, the violent aura was conveyed through the eyes, and there was a sneer as soon as it came up.

"Ha! What a pity~ That stupid woman actually asked the boss to plead for you, and even took the initiative to take on the responsibility and paid for your share in advance..."

Shota's originally dead eyes suddenly glowed with light.

However, Xiu didn't mean to let him go just like that. He leaned next to him and whispered:

"I will keep an eye on you and that idiot~ Don't let me catch evidence that you betrayed the company..."

After saying that, Xiu casually took the knife from Kurokawa's hand, raised his hand and waved it, and the rope holding Shota up snapped.

Shota, who had been relying on the rope to stand up, lost his support and collapsed to the ground.

Xiu didn't want to care about him, he let go and threw the knife on the ground, turned around and walked outside.

Kurokawa was in a daze for a moment and then quickened his pace to follow.

"What are we doing now?"

"Of course I'm going back. Do you still want to stay here for the night?"

Xiu's tone was a little harsh, and he didn't look like he was talking properly at all.

But Kurokawa didn't dare to say anything and started the car directly and drove towards the city.

The fallen Shota struggled to sit up, but his hands and feet were still tied, so he could only pick up the knife on the ground at a strange angle to cut the rope, and then lay on the ground gasping for breath.

It took a long time to recover a little bit of physical strength, but at this time the fire gradually went out, leaving only the dark red light of the charcoal, and the sound of rustling sounded in the darkness around.

Shota soon remembered the words of the hooded man.

[The Evergreen Forest in summer is very violent]

He realized that the hooded man wanted to kill him with the help of the elves.

But he couldn't let others down again, he had to live!

He didn't care about resting anymore. Under the unknown threat, the pain in his body was relieved a little. He picked up the iron bar with one hand as support, and held up the knife with the other hand to explore outside.

When he got outside, he realized that he was far away from the city. Looking around in the dim moonlight, he only saw a few lonely houses nearby. It was obviously an unknown abandoned village. Some houses were half collapsed and overgrown with weeds, which seemed dead silent.

Some red spots appeared in the weeds, and Shota was so scared that he raised the iron bar and swung it randomly, shouting some nonsense.

"Get out of here!"

Soon the red spot disappeared in the grass.

His demonstration worked, which gave him a sense of security, and then he walked quickly outside.
