nWhile they waited, the king and Mike chatted casually.

nIt looked like they were chatting, but they were actually waiting for the attendant to bring the news back.

nThe World's Greatest Sword Hero had been standing by the side uneasily.

nBecause he knew the truth!

nIt was true that all the followers of the god of fire had died, but they had clearly been killed by his master.

nWas master not afraid of being discovered?

nAfter a while, the attendant came back in a panic.

nThis time, the attendant looked at Mike with a different gaze.

nHowever, Mike still looked very relaxed and natural.

nThe attendant came to the king's side and whispered a few words. After that, the king's face also changed.

nHe stared at Mike in shock and doubt for a long time.

nDuring this process, Mike maintained his composure, while The World's Greatest Sword Hero's heart was pounding.

nThe more he looked, the more he felt that the king seemed to know the truth.

nHowever, to his surprise, the king actually laughed out loud in the end and said,

n

"I've sent people to investigate. The Temple of the God of Fire has indeed suffered heavy casualties. What you said is true.

"

nAfter saying that, he turned to look at The World's Greatest Sword Hero.

n

"You are a member of the Temple of the God of Fire, right? Did God Slayer help you solve the problem just now?

"

n

"Ah... this...

"

nFacing the king's questioning, The World's Greatest Sword Hero's nerves got the better of him and unable to speak.

nMike, on the other hand, smiled slightly and reminded him,

n

"The king is asking you a question.

"

nHearing his master's words, The World's Greatest Sword Hero immediately came back to his senses and nodded stiffly.

nThe king saw everything.

nHowever, he still did not say anything.

nIn the end, the king nodded and said,

n

"Since you have completed the mission that I gave you, then I can help you eliminate the bounty from Hero City.

n

"However, you still have to spend the necessary amount of money.

nAt this point, the king paused, and the corners of his eyes twitched,

n

"Your bounty in Hero City is 200,000 gold coins. As long as you pay these 200,000 gold coins, I can help you eliminate the bounty.

"

nHearing this, a look of surprise appeared in Mike's eyes.

nMeanwhile, the king avoided his gaze and looked very unnatural.

nMike smiled and said,

n

"In that case, thank you, Great King. I will remember your kindness.

n

"I will prepare the gold coins as soon as possible. Once I have gathered the money, I will immediately send them over.

"

nThe king did not say anything and only nodded his head.

nMike then took his leave with The World's Greatest Sword Hero.

nOnly after the two of them left did the king's face turn solemn again.

nThe attendant knew that accompanying a king was equivalent to lying beside a tiger. He just stood there silently and sealed his lips shut.

n..

nAfter leaving the palace, The World's Greatest Sword Hero could not help but click his tongue,

n

"So expensive. I didn't know that 200,000 gold coins are needed to remove the bounty!

n

"At our place, we can buy a good farm with 200,000 gold coins.

"

nMike smiled without saying anything.

nIt seemed simple just now, but a lot of things had happened.

nFirst of all, the king must have known that he had killed all the NPCs in the Temple of the God of Fire.

nThis was evident from the expression on his face.

nAn adventurer killing all the NPCs in the Temple of the God of Fire was something that would be shocking to everyone.

nHowever, he chose to pretend as if he did not know about this.

nThat was because the king did not dare to offend God Slayer!

nNo matter how powerful the king was, he was just a mortal.

nMoreover, behind the Temple of the God of Fire was the real God!

nNo matter which city it was, the temple and the king would not interfere with each other.

nNevertheless, the temple could always suppress the king!

nNow, what Mike did was equivalent to helping the king.

nPreviously, the main reason why Mike was wanted by Hero City was that he killed the NPCs in the city.

nMoreover, he initiated the fight.

nHowever, it was different this time. Mike specifically chose to kill the NPCs outside the city and let the other party initiate the attack.

nThe king naturally had no reason to make things difficult for Mike.

nThis was also why the king said that 200,000 gold coins were sufficient to eliminate the bounty.

nWhat about the other 180,000 gold coins?

nOf course, the king paid for it himself.

nRules were rules, and he could not break them just because he was the king.

nHowever, the king was willing to pay 180,000 gold coins for a favor.

nA favor from God Slayer.

nAs long as this favor existed, the relationship between the two would remain friendly.

nThis was also the reason why Mike said what he said before he left,

"I will remember your kindness.

"

nMike could not help but sigh in his heart once again.

nSecond World was indeed too realistic.

nEven NPCs would take the initiative to do things that bypassed the rules.

nHowever, in the end, Mike was too powerful.

nOnly powerful players would make the NPCs back down. To put it bluntly...

nStrength was everything!

nThinking of this, Mike's face became more serious.

nHe did not forget the big battle waiting for him in ten years' time.

nHe could not let down his guard just because he was invincible now.

nThere was no such thing as

"resurrection

" in the battle ten years later.

nIf he was not careful, Mike might lose all his advantages now.

nAt that time, he would really die.

nThinking of this, Mike took a deep breath.

nStrength, he had to continue increasing his strength!

nAt this moment, The World's Greatest Sword Hero scratched his head and said,

n

"Master, I have more than 10,000 gold coins here. You can use it to remove the bounty first.

"

nAs he said this, he made a trade request to Mike.

nSeeing this action, Mike felt a little warm in his heart.

nAlthough this disciple was a little dull, he was absolutely sincere to his master.

nIn Second World, there were very few trustable people.

nMike waved his hand and rejected the transaction request from The World's Greatest Sword Hero.

nHe figured that The World's Greatest Sword Hero should be just like the old him, a poor man.

nTherefore, he knew very well that The World's Greatest Sword Hero had originally planned to sell these gold coins and exchange them for federation coins for living expenses.

nAs long as his disciple had this intention, it would be fine. As a master, it would be wrong to actually take his money.

nAs for the gold coins needed to eliminate the bounty...

nMike had plenty of ways.

nFor Mike, wasn't it easy to earn money?

n

"Let's go and rob money!

"
