As Ye Feng, Fu, Jian Chen, and Ming Dong exited the restaurant, the expressions of the middle-aged man with the monkey like face and the skinny middle-aged man turned dark. The middle-aged man with the monkey-like face asked the skinny middle-aged man, "Sparrow, things are really bad. What should we do now?"
Upon hearing the question from the middle-aged man with the monkey-like face, Sparrow's eyes darkened. He nodded to the middle-aged man with the monkey-like face and said, "I know Monkey; we need to be careful when we meet the captain and hope he is in a good mood so we don't end up dead by his hands." We don't need to worry about those bastards; they are going to die soon. The captain has a deep affection for Big Brother Tao, and the Xiao clan will not let them go so easily after what they did today."
After saying this, Sparrow and Monkey smiled, then turned their gaze to the people present in the restaurant, their eyes darkening when they noticed some of them smirking and laughing while gazing at them.
Sparrow then said to Monkey, "But first, I think we need to do some cleaning up. What do you think, Monkey?"
When Monkey heard this, he smiled bloodthirstily and said, "Let's kill everyone except the most beautiful woman around here and offer the most beautiful one to the captain." The captain will be in a favourable mood if we do that."
Sparrow's eyes brightened up when he heard Monkey's idea. He smiled, then grabbed his saint weapon from the ground; it was a brown spear. The spear had a length that matched his height.
The spearhead was silver-colored, and the spear shaft was brown-colored.
Monkey also retrieved his saint weapon, a green dagger, from the ground.
They both smiled bloodthirstily at everyone in the restaurant, causing everyone to panic.
Sparrow and Monkey charged at those present with incredible speed and began slaughtering everyone except the young women.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH."
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH."
"PU, PU, PU, PU."
"SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH."
Monkey and Sparrow move extremely fast inside the restaurant. Every time Sparrow thrusts his saint weapon, he either stabs someone in the heart or the throat to kill.
However, Monkey was not as direct as Sparrow when he was killing; instead, he moved with extreme agility and flexibility.
He will emerge from behind his target and use his saint weapon to sever their throats.
Suddenly, two armoured men appeared in front of Monkey and Sparrow, blocking their attacks.
"CLANK."
After the armoured men blocked Monkey and Sparrow's attack, ten more armoured men surrounded them; they all looked at Monkey and Sparrow with frosty eyes.
Monkey smiled when he saw the armoured men, and he said to them, "Well, well, if it isn't the city lord guards, I haven't noticed your presence here."
Sparrow also smirked, directing his gaze towards the city lord guards.
The ten city lord guards that surrounded Sparrow and Monkey were middle-aged men. They wore silver-colored armour that featured a printed city lord logo on its chest.
"Stand down or die. I don't care about that clan that is backing your mercenary group; you are outnumbered." The person in charge of the ten city lord guards spoke to Sparrow and Monkey.
He then gestured to the right with his finger. Sparrow and Monkey turned their heads, and their eyes widened in fear when they saw another city lord guard pointing his sword like a saint's weapon at the unconscious Tao's neck, ready to stab him and end his life.
"WHISH."
Monkey swiftly enveloped himself in the wind element, then moved like a ghost towards the city lord guard who was holding Tao hostage and kicked him in the face.
"BAAM."
The city lord guard stumbles backward a couple of steps, giving Monkey an opportunity to grab Tao and retreat.
Suddenly, a feminine voice could be heard yelling, "Let me go, you stupid monkey; please someone help me."
The faces of the city lord guards darkened when they saw that Monkey not only grabbed Tao, but he also grabbed the waitress who served Ye Feng and his friends when they came to the restaurant.
When Sparrow saw this, he smirked, then jumped backward and flipped in the air. When he landed, he stood next to Monkey.
Sparrow then raised his saint weapon in the air, and the city lord guards noticed that it was glowing brown. They summoned their saint weapons, and one of them yelled, "Everyone be on your guard; he possesses an earth element."
Sparrow forcefully slammed his Saint weapon onto the ground.
"BOOM."
The entire restaurant started shackling violently after he slammed his saint weapon on the ground.
Numerous fractures permeated the entire structure of the restaurant, resembling a web of spiders. In just a moment, the restaurant's roof began to collapse.
One of the city lord guards yelled to his colleagues, "Protect those in the restaurant."
The ten city lord guards began protecting the people in the restaurant from the collapsed roof, while the other mercenaries began to assist the city lord guards.
Sparrow quickly grabbed Tao from Monkey and said to him, "This is our chance. Let go."
Monkey nodded, and they left the restaurant as fast as they could.
The waitress yelled again, "Let me go, you bastards."
Monkey got annoyed at the waitress. He chopped the back of the waitress's neck, and the waitress fell unconscious. Then he and Sparrow rush toward the Barbarian Mercenaries headquarters.

With Ye Feng and the others
After Ye Feng and the others booked some rooms in an inn, Fu asked Ye Feng, "Brother Feng, so what's the plan now?"
Jian Chen and Ming Dong looked at Ye Feng. Ye Feng smiled and said to Fu, "First, we need to buy some barrels for you so you can start absorbing the silver-striped golden snake blood essence and gain the one thousand immunity physique."
When they heard this, Fu and the others smiled. Jian Chen then said to Ye Feng, "I can help Fu with that; I know how to refine the silver-striped golden snake blood essence and how to gain the one thousand immunity physique."
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Good. You two should go together to buy the barrels, and Fu should start refining the silver-striped golden snake blood essence as soon as possible."
The two nodded to Ye Feng, and Jian Chen asked, "What about you two? What do you plan on doing?"
Ye Feng responded to them by saying, "I plan to explore the city to see if there is a Merchant Association branch nearby." I want to buy some information from them."
Upon hearing this, they all nodded in understanding and then directed their gazes toward Ming Dong.
Ming Dong shrugged and said, "I think I will tag along with Ye Feng."
Ye Feng nodded along with Jian Chen and Fu, then Ye Feng said, "After we finish our business, we will meet in the inn."
After they all nodded, Ye Feng and Ming Dong separated from Fu and Jian Chen.

With the city lord guards
The city lord guards and the mercenaries were able to save some people after the roof collapsed; however, many people lost their lives and some were injured severely.
The faces of the city lord guards and the mercenaries darkened simultaneously at the sight of the corpses and the injured people. One of the city lord guards cupped their fist and said to the mercenaries, "I would like to thank everyone of you for assisting us in saving the lives of those who were inside the restaurant."
A brown-haired middle-aged man with a brown beard, fair skinned, ordinary face, and muscular physique stepped forward. He cupped his fist to the city lord guard, who spoke to them and said to him, "You don't need to thank us; the reason we helped you was because it was the right thing to do."
All the city lord guards smiled upon hearing the middle-aged man's words. The one in charge then stepped forward, extended his hand, and said to the man, "I appreciate your gesture." My name is Sun Bolin. It is an honour to meet you."
The middle-aged man smiled at Bolin, shook his hand, and introduced himself and his group: "My name is He Zixin, and I am the captain of Soaring Eagle Mercenaries."
All the city lord guards smiled and nodded. Bolin then addressed Zixin, saying, "I am eager to get to know you, brother Zixin, but I must report this matter to my superior. However, I would like to propose a mission for your group, and I assure you that you will receive substantial compensation."
All the members of the Soaring Eagle Mercenaries became intrigued upon hearing this, prompting Zixin to say, "We are listening."
Bolin then looked at the corpses behind him and at the injured. "I would like you to burry the dead and deliver the injured to a healer. We will cover the treatment cost. You don't need to worry."
Zixin nodded his head and said to Bolin, "Alright, we accept the mission."
Bolin smiled and then said to Zixin, "Good, after you complete the mission, come to the city lord mansion to get paid."
Zixin nodded and said to Bolin, "Alright, I will see you later, brother Bolin."
Bolin smiled and nodded. He then turned to his subordinates and said, "Let go. We need to report what happened to the general and the city lord. As soon as possible, let's move."
The rest of the city lord guards nodded solemnly to Bolin, and they quickly left.
Zixin then turned to his subordinates and said to them, "Alright guys, the sooner we finish this mission, the sooner we get paid, and the sooner we leave this city."
One of the mercenaries asked Zixin in confusion, "Captain, are we leaving the city? We just arrived."
Zixin nodded his head seriously and said, "Yes, we are departing as soon as we finish this mission and get paid." You saw what just happened in the restaurant: a mercenary group defying and making problems for city lord guards. Things are not simple here. I don't want us to get involved in whatever is happening in this city. It is better to leave as soon as possible."
When they heard what their captain said, they nodded their heads seriously, and they turned around to complete their mission.

Inside a luxurious mansion
Monkey and Sparrow entered the luxurious mansion, and when everyone saw how badly Tao was beaten and in an unconscious state, their eyes widened in shock.
A young man with long olive hair and olive eyes, a handsome face, and tanned skin approached Monkey and Sparrow. He asked them, "Monkey, Sparrow, what the hell happened to big brother Tao?" How could this have occurred while you were with him? Also, is this beauty a gift to the captain; if not, can I play with her first before you two enjoy her?"
While carrying the unconscious waitress over his shoulder, Monkey twitched his eyebrows and said, "This woman belongs to the captain." We will explain everything to the captain after we meet with him. Now tell me where the captain is. This is urgent. Stop wasting our time."
The young man nodded and then informed Monkey and Sparrow, "The captain is in the throne room, and he is in a bad mood, so you better be careful."
Monkey and Sparrow nodded to the young man, then they started walking towards the throne room. When they arrived in front of a huge silver and golden room, they took a deep breath, then they knocked on the door."
Suddenly they heard a loud yell that sent shivers to their spines: "WHO THE HELL IS DESTURBING ME? YOU BETTER HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO REPORT IF NOT PREPARE TO DIE."
Both Monkey and Sparrow gulped their saliva in fear, then Monkey said, "Captain, this is Monkey and Sparrow; we have an important matter to report to you, and we also brought you a gift with us."
The captain's eyes brightened up when he heard that Monkey had brought a gift with him; then he said to Monkey, "Enter."
Monkey was apprehensive about entering the throne room and confronting the captain. Sparrow then said to Monkey, seriously, "Monkey, sooner or later the captain will find out what happened in the restaurant; if we don't report to him what happened in the restaurant now, he will surely kill us without questioning us when he finds out that we hide the incident from him."
Monkey looked at Sparrow in worry, then Sparrow looked at the unconscious Tao over his shoulder and continued, "Beside, I am sure big brother Tao will inform the captain about those bastards. Also, don't forget Pigeon and Crow are dead now; sooner or later, everybody will notice they are missing."
Upon hearing this, Monkey swallowed his saliva in fear and nodded to Sparrow. Then they both opened the throne room's massive door and entered, carrying the unconscious waitress and Tao inside.
______
Inside the Throne room
When Monkey and sparrow entered the throne room, they saw a bulky muscular man in his thirties sitting on a golden throne.
His face exuded fierceness; he had fair skin, short blond hair, and a monster beast white fur draped over his shoulder.
That man was the captain of the Barbarian Mercenaries.
When the captain of the Barbarian Mercenaries saw his little brother was unconscious and in a bad condition, his anger exploded. He also roared loudly, "Who dare beat up my little brother?"
The hair on Sparrow and Monkey's neck stood up, and their faces turned pale when they saw how the face of their captain distorted, making his face look like a monster beast ready to devour anyone who stood in his way.
Quickly, Monkey shows the waitress to the captain and says to him, "Captain, this is the gift that we brought you; isn't she enchanting?"
The captain's mood immediately improved a lot when he saw the curvy and enchanting feminine body of the unconscious waitress.
Monkey and Sparrow sighed in relief when they saw the captain's mood had improved a lot.
The captain walked towards Monkey, and sparrow grabbed the unconscious waitress from Monkey, then used his saint force and waved his hand, "SSSCCCRRRR."
Her whole feminine, enchanting body was exposed to him, Monkey, and Sparrow.
She has plump round breasts with pink nipples; her skin was like a jade; she has slender, long legs and a slender waist.
Her enchanting body was so perfect and alluring that both Sparrow and Monkey swallowed their saliva, their eyes burning with desire.
The captain then laid the waitress gently on the ground. He then walked to the golden throne and sat on it. He then looked at Monkey and Sparrow and said to them, "Since I am satisfied with your gift, I will give you a chance to explain to me why my brother is in this state; if I am not satisfied with your answer, I am going to kill you."
Both Sparrow and Monkey nodded their heads in fear, and Monkey started recounting what happened in the restaurant, and he started exaggerating about what Fu said when he laughed at the name of their mercenaries group.
When the captain heard this, his face darkened. He pointed at Monkey and said, "Go to my clan and ask my father to lend us some of the clan guards to search for them."
Monkey nodded his head, and the captain continued, "Tell them not to take action. I will be the one who kills these four when the time comes. I simply want guards to monitor them closely."
Monkey nodded his head, and then the captain tossed a bag of golden coins at Sparrow, saying to him, "Go to the city gate guards and tell the guards to not let these four leave the city; also tell them that I promise to reward them handsomely later if they complete my request."
Sparrow nodded his head, and the captain then said to them, "And when you two come back, I want you to lead five of our members to keep an eye on them; don't engage them in a battle they are mine to kill."
Monkey and Sparrow nodded their heads and said to their captain, "Yes, captain."
They quickly turned around to leave the throne room, but were stopped when the captain said, "One last thing, I don't want you to cause trouble for the city lord guards for the time being because my clan has nearly completed its preparations. This city will soon belong to my clan, and you will all receive handsome rewards based on your merit."
When they heard this, Monkey and Sparrow smiled widely and nodded their heads. "Thank you, captain; we promise we will not disappoint you."
"Alright, remember to drop my brother off in his room before you depart." You two may leave now," the captain said to Monkey and Sparrow.
Both of them nodded, left the throne room, and closed the door behind them.
The captain then stood up again and walked toward the waitress, saying to himself, "It's time for me to have fun with you."
