"What did you say?" The officer glared at him. He then nervously glanced at Aldred's weapon. He gulped with hesitation until he looked at his men.
"Don't think you can win against us just because you have a strong weapon."
"Do you want to fight or not? My blade is itching to taste your blood and flesh. If you're scared then get the fuck out of here."
When the officer heard that, his eyes fiercely glared at Aldred. How dare this man speak to him like that. He was one of the seniors in the Urban Management unit. Everyone in this area feared him and listened to anything he said.
Sir Tomkin told him to make trouble for this man, but he didn't know Aldred would be so domineering. But looking at the clothes of this man, he seemed to be a teacher in the Phoenix Military School. Will it be fine to kill someone like him?
The officer shook his head. He didn't care. This man had angered him, and he wanted this man to die.
"It seems like I need to teach you a lesson. If you haven't already known, I am the senior officer of Urban Management. I am the one who runs this area. And let me show you what happens to those who disobey me. Kill him!"
Seven Gold Rank guards rushed at him. One had drooping eyes and messy hair. He looked at Aldred with a crazed expression and pulled out a dagger from his waist.
"You should have given the officer your weapon. Fool!"
Aldred simply continued staring at the man calmly.
Seeing his calm expression, the man was annoyed and raised his knife to stab Aldred.
With a smile, Aldred reached out and grabbed the man's wrist before the man could even react. The man panicked, but Aldred already pulled him and slammed him into the ground, face first.
He lifted his leg and then kicked the man's head like he was kicking a soccer ball.
His small blade fell with a clang.
One man was neutralized in less than 3 seconds.
At this moment, the rest of the guards widened their eyes. They didn't expect their comrades to fall so quickly.
The onlookers were watching in silence, but secretly they were cheering inside their hearts. They hoped that Aldred could kick these Urban Management people because they had been robbing for years. Not only do they arrogantly take their items without paying, sometimes these people would even grab the money from their cashier, making the owner suffer tremendous losses.
Some businesses even went bankrupt because of this, and in return, a lot of people were now unemployed.
"Bastard! How dare you attack our friend. Die for me!"
Aldred shook his head. "So I cannot hit you, but you are allowed to hit me? Did your mom teach you that logic?"
"Shut up!" The man lunged towards Aldred.
Aldred took a step back to dodge the man's sword attack before returning a kick to his jaw.
The man's head was thrown back, and his jaw cracked from the impact while his body was knocked into the air.
While the man was in mid air, Aldred grabbed the man's neck, and quickly slammed the man to the ground. The back part of the man's head cracked the ground, and foam came out of the man's mouth as he was now unconscious.
The onlookers let out a small cheer in their home as they peeked through the window. This man defeated 2 people already, and that was very satisfying to watch.
People even hoped that this incident would stop these urban management people from harassing them.
"Bastard! Surround him and attack at the same time!"
With a simple side step, Aldred dodged 2 attacks at once. He then unleashed a side kick to the stomach of the nearest guard.
With a painful yelp, the man was sent flying a few meters while he spat out blood, then crashed onto the ground.
The onlookers cheered again. There were 5 enemies left.
Aldred smiled, dodging a knife easily that went towards his throat. He then formed a claw on his left hand, and pierced the man's neck with his nails. He pulled his hand, and performed a palm attack to the man's jaw, knocking him out.
Four enemies left.
At this moment, the four guards were already hesitating whether to attack or not.
Aldred was smiling all this time. He didn't kill the Dragon Guards, because he didn't want to go to war with them now. A lot of people in this city will die if that were to happen.
But he wasn't a complete samaritan. If people want to harm him, he'd harm them in a painful way. What he did to these guards might not kill them, but they will suffer a lot of pain when they wake up later.
"Don't be afraid. All 4 of us attack at the same time."
The senior officer charged forward at the front. Aldred's eyes let out a fierce dark glint.
He rushed forward, grabbed the senior officer by the neck, and with quick spin, he tossed the officer towards the other three, hitting them hard, and causing them to be knocked away a dozen meters.
Aldred then cleaned his hands like he just threw away a bag of trash.
That was complete annihilation!!
The onlookers couldn't help but cheer and jumped around in their home.
All this time, Aldred didn't even use his sword, and yet he defeated 8 men in the same rank!
Aldred thought that it was a shame that he couldn't kill these guys. If this was the Phoenix's territory, he wouldn't hesitate to do that.
Whatever, now that the trash had been cleaned, it was time to leave.
Aldred turned around and walked away.
"Wait, respected sir. Please wait." An old man quickly approached him. "I want to thank you for what you have done. These people are cruel. Even when me and my grandson are still in the building, they keep trying to tear it down. None of us wanted to leave, because we have nowhere to go."
"Why not go to the Phoenix's side?"
The old man sighed. "It's not easy. People on the Dragon's side can't really move to the Phoenix's territory because they fear of possible espionage. I understand their concern, so I am not resentful of them. But to thank you for your service, let me give you this."
The old man handed him a piece of paper.
"What is this?" Aldred opened the dirty paper and widened his eyes. "Old man… this is…"
"I really hate these people, young sir. I want them to fall and rot in hell."
"This is not enough to destroy them completely."
"Yes, but at least I contribute to their pain." The old man laughed.
Aldred smiled. "Show me your card."
The old man was confused but he still showed his card. Aldred then quickly tapped the card with his own card and transferred 1 billion gold coins to the man's account.
The man widened his eyes. "Young sir… this is too much. I cannot accept this."
Aldred smiled. "This information is more valuable than that amount. Use it wisely. Help yourself and your grandson with it. And if you want to, you can also help your neighbor with that money."
The old man was about to bow his head, but Aldred held his shoulder.
"No need to thank me." Aldred quickly left the scene and flew away.
