Chapter 36 Meeting Lan Cang Again
Lan Ruo had just rushed home from college and saw someone sitting on the sofa.

The man had short black hair, a stern face, a tall and straight figure, and he was still wearing the slightly tight combat uniform that outlined his smooth and firm muscle lines.

"Brother! How come you have time to come back today? Are you going to stay at home for a few more days this time?"

The man was applying medicine to the wound on his arm and wrapping it with a white bandage. He looked towards the door when he heard the words, "I came back to see you. I'll leave tomorrow. How was your entrance exam?"

"I passed the test with very good results. I ranked 139th and was admitted to the combat department." Lan Ruo quickly changed into slippers and went into the house to clean up the debris on the table.

"Well, I know you've always wanted to go there."

"The Alans Military Academy has the best teachers in the empire, and the graduates are sought after by the entire Western Continent. From now on, I will be able to help you, brother." Lan Ruo looked at the man and suddenly felt a little sad.

Actually, my brother wanted to join the college, but he didn’t have enough tuition money and was rejected by the college.

He wanted to go to the Alans Military Academy to stand out, and part of the reason was that he wanted to fulfill his brother's wish. Lan Ruo said unwillingly, "In fact, the orcs in Alans Academy are not that powerful. Many of them are not as good as my brother. If my brother had gone to the Alans Military Academy, he would definitely be a leader..."

The man smiled and said nothing more. He turned and went to the kitchen. "To celebrate your successful admission to Alans College, what do you want to eat today? I'll show you how to cook it."

"Brother's cooking is the best. I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time since you joined the mercenaries."

Lan Ruo also wanted to help. When talking about what happened in the competition, he became more talkative. "Those children of noble families are not that great. Some of them are no different from those vagrants in the slums!"

"At that time, several people surrounded me and wanted to snatch my token. Fortunately, someone helped me. She was a female..."

As he spoke, his voice became softer. The man had also experienced his youth, how could he not understand his little thoughts? He chuckled and said, "Do you like it?"

"No, no." Lan Ruo quickly denied, her face getting even redder, "She helped me, and I'm very grateful to her. She's like a big sister to me, very similar to the feeling my brother gives me."

"She has the same talent as you, with lightning-related abilities, and she also uses golden lightning..."

"Snapped!"

As soon as Lan Ruo stepped into the kitchen, he heard a crisp sound. He was stunned when he saw the broken pots and bowls on the ground, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay. My hand is injured and hasn't healed yet. I accidentally slipped it just now..." The man lowered his head and turned his back to him. His expression could not be seen. His voice was a little hoarse. "She has a talent for lightning?"

Lan Ruo quickly took a broom and dustpan to clean up the broken things on the ground, and responded subconsciously, "Well, this is the first time I have seen someone with the same talent as my brother. She is very strong, she should be a seventh-level orc. This is the first time I have met a female with such strength. I think she should be a female from a big family."

The man stopped talking and gave a bitter smile. What was he asking for? She was already dead, killed in the beast tide.

It was his incompetence that failed to protect her. This became the greatest pain in his life.

The man didn't say another word until the meal was over. He was silent and depressed.

Before going back to the room to rest at night, he gave Lan Ruo a bag of crystals and asked, "The expenses in the imperial capital are quite high. Is your living expenses sufficient recently?"

"Enough, enough." Lan Ruo was embarrassed to accept it. With his current financial ability, he really couldn't refuse. Thinking of the subsequent tuition expenses of the college, he lowered his head and said, "Brother, actually, I found a few odd jobs in the capital. I can take care of my living expenses in the future. I don't need to trouble you anymore."

"You are still young, just study hard, don't worry about other things."

"Brother, you're going on another mission. Why don't you rest for one more night?"

Seeing him putting on his coat and about to leave, Lan Ruo felt even more ashamed. Her brother had worked so hard for him over the years.

Simply because he is his only relative.

My brother is a person who values ​​relationships very much. Because of his childhood experiences, he envied those orcs who had families and relatives, and he longed to have a family as a place to settle his emotions, but he had never found a suitable one. Lan Ruo always felt that he was a burden to his brother, and his eyes suddenly turned red. "Otherwise, I'd better drop out of school. This school in Oro City is actually quite good..."

"What nonsense! I promised my father and mother that I would raise you until you are 18 and watch you grow up."

The man patted his shoulder. In a few years, he would be as tall as him. "When you finish school, I won't have any worries anymore..."

Lan Ruo always felt that his words were a little strange, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his smile, but he couldn't really tell, so he thought it was his own illusion and said with a smile, "It's too early to say that, brother. When you get married and have children with your favorite partner, I can still help take care of my little nephew when you are out and have no time."

Lan Cang withdrew his hand, no, there will be no future.

……

Underground black market.

In the illegal restricted area of ​​the Western Continent, everything is for sale, even human lives.

The orcs who came to trade were all wearing thick gray robes and strange masks on their faces to conceal their identities.

The man turned a corner and entered an underground bar. The orc at the front desk mixed a pre-mixed cocktail and handed it to him, saying with a smile, "Dear guest, it's been a long time since we last met. The boss thought you had retired."

"Take me to see your boss."

"The first boss is not here, but the second boss came out of there a few days ago and came to Oro City just to see you. Please come in, my dear guest. He has been waiting for you for a long time."

The orc at the front desk pressed a mechanism on the right side of the counter, and a door opened on the wall, leading him into the secret passage and to the real underground exchange of this bar.

The second in command mentioned by the beastmen was a middle-aged tiger beast who looked sturdy and powerful, with a crew cut, a wide face, and arms with muscles as hard as rocks and covered with black tattoos.

He held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the newcomer, and said with a smile, "Lan Cang, didn't you request to quit the organization a few days ago, saying that you wanted to live a normal and stable life? I heard... you found a beautiful female? Why are you back now? Are you short of money? Or was you dumped by that female?"

Lan Cang had no expression on his face, and his aura was extremely cold. "I don't want to waste time talking. If there are any other tasks in the organization, give them all to me."

The other male orcs in the room looked at Lan Cang and were a little stunned for a moment. Since he returned to the organization a few days ago, in just two months, he has taken no less than a hundred missions, and they were all S-level or above!

He had fought hard before when he accepted the mission, but who wouldn't fight hard for money? But this time when he came back, he seemed to have become a complete killer. It was not necessarily for money, but it seemed that he was trying to numb himself with blood and killing...

The black-armed tiger beast put out the cigarette in his hand and said with a mysterious smile, "Here is a big order, do you want to take it?"

"catch."

"Think carefully. This is a 3S-level assassination order. I have sent out dozens of people during this period. All of them are top experts in the organization. In the end, all the assassinations failed. No one came back alive."

"It doesn't matter." Lan Cang no longer cared about life and death. "How much money can I get after completing this order?" "Hahaha, I knew I was right to find you. Everyone knows that Lone Wolf has been entrusted with tasks for many years and has never failed. He is also the most trusted talent in the organization. The bounty for this order will definitely not disappoint you." The tiger beastman took out a wanted warrant and handed it to him, smiling, "Countless glory, wealth you can't imagine."

Lan Cang took the wanted order and looked at it. "Is it the general from the Alans Empire?"

"Yes, it's this damn guy! He killed all my brothers a few days ago and put me in jail. I finally bribed the people in the prison and got out. All my wealth is gone. I want him to pay with his blood!"

Lan Cang sneered, "That person is the king beast, no one in the organization can kill him."

"Oh, I didn't spend this money in vain. So what if I can't kill the king beast? The king beast now has a little female with him. I heard that she is pregnant. We have to keep a close eye on her. If we can catch that female and threaten her..."

"You know, I never lay hands on females." His voice sank.

The Black Tiger Orc turned his head to signal an Orc next to him and threw him a gun. "This is the latest developed Mk-570. It can directly shoot Orcs below level in the head, but I haven't tried it to see how effective it is against the King Beast."

Lan Cang took the weapon, was silent for a moment, and said, "If the mission fails, this money..."

"Haha, don't forget that you are also one of the top ten wanted people with the highest bounty. Let's consider it as us buying your life. It will be enough for your brother's tuition."

……

on the yacht.

It was such a pleasure for Sang Luo to lie on the deck, feel the sea breeze and eat delicious seafood.

Kaisar came over from behind and touched her ears and face. "Are you okay? Are you seasick?"

"How many days until it arrives?"

"Almost half a month, what's wrong, do you want to go back?"

"No, it's very comfortable here. I want to stay here for a while longer~"

Caesar chartered a cruise ship, ostensibly to take Sang Luo out to relax and have fun, but in fact he had discussed with her privately that he wanted to take her back to the East Continent to prepare for childbirth. After half a month, when they arrived in the East Continent, it would be almost time for her to prepare for childbirth.

The orcs who delivered the meal brought dozens of pots of fish, shrimp and shellfish delicacies, and Sang Luo's mouth was filled with the delicious taste.

Orcs naturally prefer to eat raw meat, but the orcs of the Western Continent have passed the barbaric period and mostly eat cooked meat, and most of the seafood is sashimi. Sang Luo touched her belly and found that this baby seemed to like eating raw meat very much.

Kaisar was used to seeing Sang Luo not being full these days, so he was not nervous anymore. He took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and said with a smile, "Are you still hungry? If there is anything you want to eat, just tell me. There are a few sea beastmen on the ship. If there is no food, we can go to the sea to catch it."

"Hey, I'm almost eating you out of money!"

"Don't worry, can't I still afford to feed you? I'm just afraid that you won't have enough to eat." Kaisar handed her a few more purple crystals, "Use them first. When we get to the East Continent, there are many natural treasures there, and the star beasts are more powerful than those in the West Continent. I'll hunt some higher-level star beasts for you."

After the meal, a waiter came to clean the table. The orc lowered his head and glanced at Sang Luo vaguely.

Sang Luo felt sleepy again while eating and did not feel the gaze. Kaisar paused, bent down and kissed her on the face, smiled gently and said, "I'll carry you back to rest first. I have some things to deal with, so I may have to leave for a while."

Sang Luo hummed twice, then was carefully picked up by him and taken to the engine room.

A room on the top floor.

The curtain behind the window was slightly opened, and a tall and obscure figure appeared.

The target appeared in the sight.

Just before the press, the female in the man's arms slightly turned her face to the side, revealing a small part of her beautiful face, black hair, white skin, and bright red lips...

The gun slipped out of his hand instantly.

*
strangeness.

Sang Luo seemed to sense something and turned his head to look in one direction. The room was empty, no one was there, the window was half open, and the curtains were swaying slightly. "...You have booked the cruise ship, so there are no other tourists, right?"

"There was no one else except the two of us and dozens of staff members on the cruise ship."

Kaisar's voice was still gentle, but somewhat unpredictable. "Okay, Sangsang, you take a rest first. Don't come out before dark. I'll take care of the rest."

"..."

At night, Sang Luo was awakened by the sound of gunfire outside.

Caesar hasn't come back yet, could something have happened outside?
She thought of Caesar's warning during the day. It seemed that he had already known about what would happen tonight.

Caesar has been in a high position for many years, so this must not be the first time he has encountered an assassination attempt. But the difference from the past is that this time he was accompanied by a female. It is estimated that Caesar was afraid of scaring her, so he did not tell her the truth.

Caesar is powerful, but those desperate criminals who dared to come for assassination definitely did not come here to die in vain. Maybe they had set up a trap long ago. Maybe... Sang Luo's worries became more and more intense. Just as she walked to the door, she suddenly heard several unfamiliar footsteps approaching!

She hurriedly looked through the peephole and saw several masked men in black standing at the door. One of them, an orc, took out the key to the room and walked over to open the door.

These people are targeting her?!
Sang Luo stepped back.

"Wow!"

The window glass was suddenly shattered. Sang Luo had no time to react. She immediately gathered the lightning power in her palm, but was caught off guard and hugged from behind. The man held her right hand, and the lightning power actually flowed directly into his body.

Sang Luo didn't have time to be shocked. She wanted to turn back, but someone pinched her chin and led her into a long and passionate kiss. The man was breathing rapidly, as if he was suppressing great and strong emotions!

At the same time, several men in black broke in.

A big hand covered her eyes, and then a strong smell of blood filled the air.

The whole room was splattered with blood. An orc covered his half-broken neck and looked at the man with a stern face in fear.

"Lan Cang, you...you...dare to betray the organization..."

　Thanks to "Yu Yin" Baozi for the monthly ticket and reward~
