James didn't look scared at all upon hearing the robber.
Instead, he smiled and said to the robber, "What if I don't hand over my money?"
The leader of the robbers didn't expect James to ask him what would happen if he didn't hand over his money.
He roared fiercely.
"If you don't hand over your money?!"
"If you don't hand it over, we'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
After carefully placing his purchases in a corner, James smiled at the three robbers. "I'd like to see how you make me die a horrible death!"
"You're asking for death!"
"Attack!"
The leader of the robbers shouted.
Then, the two robbers behind him smiled cruelly.
In their eyes, James, who was only a Level 5 Silver adventurer, was like a delicious sheep that any one of them could easily defeat.
They rushed towards him from the left and right.
Then, they punched James in the temple.
No matter which side they hit, with their Level 3 Silver strength, one punch was enough to kill James on the spot!
Seeing this ferocious and fatal attack, James stood still without dodging!
Instead, he stretched out both hands to face their fists.
The two Level 3 Silver robbers were dumbfounded.
Did this person actually dare to challenge them directly?
Did he not know that they were Level 3 Silver adventurers?
He was truly courting death!
James's arrogant actions simply angered the two robbers.
They exerted force with their feet and the might from their fists became even more ferocious!
They wanted James to know the consequences of underestimating them so much.
Bang!
Bang!
The four fists clashed, producing two dull thuds.
Then, in an instant!
The two robbers turned into two shadows and flew backwards. They slammed into a solid wall and two more bangs were heard.
Meanwhile, the leader of the robbers stood rooted to the ground in shock.
The two robbers had flew past him.
However, he could not react in time and could only allow his two lackeys to be sent flying backwards!
Cold sweat slid down his forehead.
His heart was already in turmoil!
"You— you're definitely not a Level 5 Silver adventurer, definitely not!"
How could a Level 5 Silver adventurer be able to instantly kill two Level 3 Silver experts when it was one against two?
This was unrealistic!
Even if they stood where they were without moving, a Level 5 Silver expert might not be able to send them flying.
Furthermore, it was a fist duel!
And it was one against two!
He thought to himself. He could not achieve this power even as a Level 1 Silver expert.
In other words, the person before him whom he thought was a fat sheep…
… had surpassed the Silver rank in terms of strength alone.
Since he had surpassed the Silver rank, this meant that…
He was at the Gold rank…
The leader of the robbers felt fear when he thought of the word "Gold".
As a Level 1 Silver adventurer, no one understood what the Gold rank meant more than him!
How terrifying was this strength?
In other words, even if a Gold-rank expert had their hands and legs tied to the ground for him to attack!
He would not be able to kill them.
He might even be rebounded to death by the protective curse power of the Gold-rank expert.
If one wanted to use Level 1 Silver adventurers to kill a Gold-rank expert, they would need 100 Level 1 Silver adventurers!
There was a hundred times difference between their strengths!
At the thought of this, the robber's entire body stiffened.
When James shifted his gaze to him…
He immediately shuddered.
Then, his legs gave way and he dropped to his knees in front of James.
"Honorable Adventurer!"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn't have acted out my intentions on you!"
"You're a magnanimous person. Please treat me as nothing and let me go!"
"I'll kowtow to you!"
After saying that, the bandit leader simply kowtowed!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
…
The sound of his forehead hitting the ground resounded throughout this dark alley.
At this moment, an adventurer who happened to pass by saw this scene.
He was Circe, a Level 9 Silver adventurer.
He had just completed a mission and was returning to Saint Laurent City.
During typical times, he would definitely not choose this route.
After all, he was afraid of encountering robbers.
However, the time limit for the mission he had accepted was almost up.
Thus, he had no choice but to take the nearest path.
However, the nearest path would definitely pass through this famous robbery alley in Saint Laurent City.
This adventurer, who wanted to complete the mission quickly, was feeling lucky.
This alley had been abandoned for some time. Thus, there might not be any robbers here.
However, he did not expect that he would actually encounter a robber.
Just as Circe was about to sneak away without making a sound, he saw that the person kneeling on the ground and kowtowing was the infamous adventurer — Pall!
What was going on?
He was confused.
He knew that Pall was a serious robber.
Everyone in the adventurer circle knew about him.
He was typically most afraid of encountering Pall as he was afraid that Pall would covet his commission from missions.
But now, Pall was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing?!
Could it be that he had encountered someone stronger?
He jumped at this thought.
Some stronger than Pall?
That would be a Gold-rank expert!
There were only a few Gold experts in Roland City.
One could count them with two hands.
But he had actually run into a Gold-rank expert in Saint Laurent City.
This… He was just too lucky!
Even if he could not receive the mission commission, he still had to witness a Gold-rank expert.
With this thought in mind, Circe gathered his courage and slowly walked towards the alley.
He saw that the mysterious Gold-rank expert looked much younger than he had imagined.
Circe searched his memory carefully.
Although he had never seen a Gold-rank expert, he had more or less heard of legends about these experts.
However, none of the Gold-rank experts in those legends were so young!
In other words, this was a newly advanced Gold-rank expert.
"This—"
This news was too shocking.
Circe was willing to bet that if the news got out, it would definitely be the top news story in Saint Laurent City.
At the thought of this, he felt a little excited.
When faced with this adventurer who had suddenly appeared…
James and Pall paid no attention to him.
One simply did not care at all, while the other could not care even if he wanted to.
Although it was very embarrassing for a weakling to see him kneel and kowtow, Pall couldn't care less in order to survive.
He continued to kowtow continuously in hopes that James would let him go.
After all, he did not have the confidence to escape from a Gold-rank expert.
Thus, as long as James did not speak, he did not dare to stop.
Finally, James made his move.
He slowly walked up to Pall.
"Actually, with your hard work to beg me for your life, I should have let you off!"
"However, I still think it's better to get rid of a scourge like you!"
Pall was overjoyed when he heard the first part as he thought that he would be able to live.
However, the last sentence sent him straight to hell. He gritted his death.
Damn it!
He would fight!
However, he had only moved slightly when a large hand covered his vision.
