Chapter 702 Three Lions
When he heard his younger brother's familiar voice, Beto, who had stopped, could clearly see that his brother was being pinned to the ground by two burly men, with a knife to his neck, and it seemed that he would be beheaded at any moment.
It was clear that while Beto was fighting with someone, his brother was being attacked by two other people.
Judging from the situation, it's normal that his younger brother fell before him, after all, his younger brother was only at the Bronze level, while the two men holding him down, according to Beto, were at least at the Silver level.
His senses are now incredibly sharp; he can not only roughly gauge the strength of the two men, but also vaguely sense their undeniable killing intent.
If he continues forward, his brother Beth might lose his life.
Seeing this, Beto could only show a hint of resentment and stop standing there.
Although Beto is greedy, it's due to his upbringing. He might feel no guilt about cheating others, but he won't easily abandon his younger brother who grew up with him.
Four people...
The four people were all quite imposing, clearly at the Silver Rank. Seeing such a lineup, Beto's heart sank. With his current strength, he could barely manage to deal with two of them.
However, facing four at the same time would be virtually impossible, since although his strength has improved recently, he hasn't reached the Gold rank yet, and trying to take on multiple opponents seems like a pipe dream.
Damn it, how did things get to this point?
"Who invited you?"
After realizing that someone was aiming at him, Beto completely gave up resisting. In the current situation, force was definitely not going to work, so he could only try to negotiate.
However, after he said those words, none of the four responded to him, which puzzled him. Just as he was about to say something, a commotion came from the jungle to his side.
Beto looked to the side and immediately spotted a naked giant, nearly two meters tall, wielding a huge axe. Upon seeing the tattoos on the man's body, Beto's pupils contracted.
The Three-Headed Lion Mercenary Group consists of five to seven Silver-Rank Transcendents, all of whom are wanted criminals who frequently commit murder and arson. They have a terrible reputation among mercenaries and adventurers, and almost no one wants to encounter them in the wild.
That guy must be their leader, Lion King. Are there five of them including him?
Beto's heart sank, and he began to feel somewhat desperate.
Let alone all five of them attacking together, he might not be able to defeat just one of them, Violent Lion. After all, Violent Lion is a Silver Six-Star powerhouse, and with his tyrannical personality, even his peers can't do anything about him, let alone him.
How did they end up here? This place is very close to the Kingdom's allied forces. Aren't they afraid of being captured?
At this point, Beto also began to wonder why this was happening.
Was it a coincidence, or was someone commissioning me...?
"Have you found the bugs?"
Just as Beto was pondering, the Lion King spoke with a cruel smile, and Beto quickly understood their purpose.
Insects? Multifamilies? How would they know about this? Could they have been sent by that old man?
It must be him. Only he knows that the multi-family insects are very valuable. Considering their previous grudges, it seems that the old man is asking the three-headed lion to help find the insects and eliminate them.
How despicable!
While it was shameless and infuriating to resort to underhanded tactics, Beto found it normal. After all, he had been a mercenary for so long and had seen all kinds of people. If he were an old man, he might have done the same.
However, since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to take out the multi-family insects he had collected earlier and hand them to the Lion.
"elder brother!!!"
Seeing this, the hot-blooded young Beth became anxious. After all, they had gone to great lengths to find that person—30,000 Mira! 30,000! How could they just hand it over like that!
He was unwilling to give up, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the two silver-tier superhumans, and even took two heavy punches in the process.
"Shut up! It's our honor that Lord Tyrannosaurus has accepted these!"
Beto was just as heartbroken as his brother, but there was nothing he could do. Given the current situation, not paying would mean certain death. Although he was greedy, he wasn't about to risk his life for it.
They just hoped that these guys would spare the brothers' lives after accepting the money.
Snapped!
When faced with the insect canister handed over by Beto, the Lion naturally didn't hesitate and grabbed it in one go.
"This is a multi-family insect? It doesn't look particularly special... You're not lying to me, are you?"
"No! Absolutely not! Someone as insignificant as me would never dare to lie to someone as important as you!"
Beto was startled by the lion's gaze and quickly tried to explain, but the lion seemed to be just asking casually.
Beto immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but after seeing the Tyrannosaurus Rex scrutinizing the multi-family insect, he suddenly had a plan.
"Lord Tyrant, if I may be so bold, I don't know what the shopkeeper said to you, but I have to tell you the truth."
"Someone's buying these little bugs. They're 200 Mira each, and if you collect 100, they'll give you 30,000. With that kind of value, what if that person cheated you..."
Beto's meaning was self-evident: neither of these two were easy targets. Although he had already failed, if he could use one to fight the other, it might be a way to vent his anger.
Faced with money, Beto didn't believe that the Lion wouldn't be tempted, after all, he had done his fair share of double-crossing.
This strategy of sowing discord will most likely succeed!
The thought of those two bastards arguing and fighting over money immediately gave Beto a sense of exhilaration.
hum!
However, just when Beto thought he was out of danger, the lion in front of him suddenly said out of the blue:
"Very well, now that you've said your piece, you're no longer of any use to me."
Beto looked up abruptly and found the Lion King looking at him with a mocking expression.
Beto was being too naive. No matter how much the Lion King and the old shopkeeper fought amongst themselves, it was their own business and had nothing to do with him, an outsider.
Having learned all this, how could he easily spare his life? How could someone as brutal and indiscriminate as the Lion King let them go so easily?
The fates of the two brothers were sealed from the very beginning...
"Kill him."
"elder brother!!!!"
Hearing his younger brother's shout, Beto instinctively turned around, and then...
Phew! ! !
"...Bass!!!!"
Beto shouted angrily, but before he could make a further move, a tremendous force came from behind him.
boom! ! ! ! !
With a loud crash, Beto collapsed to the ground, barely alive, before being slashed down by the Lion King.
As his consciousness faded and he collapsed to the ground, Beto stared at his brother's pierced body, overwhelmed by despair and sorrow...
Is it over...?
Glug!
