"A prize for a correct answer."

Reinhard: "…………" Without a single clue, how am I supposed to guess?!

Because Fang Rui and Reinhard were talking about other things along the way and didn't eavesdrop on the other two's conversation, Reinhard is currently completely unaware of what's going on.

I don't understand why the two of them would act together, or why they would come to the slums.

"Give up? Or just guess?"

Noticing Reinhard's hesitation, Fang Rui asked, "Do you need me to provide some clues?"

"There's no need, I choose to give up."

Reinhard slowly shook his head, his gaze fixed on someone in the street.

Killing intent! An exceptionally strong killing intent!

When was the last time I saw such a strong killing intent?

Squinting, Reinhard carefully examined the man; he had already recognized who he was.

Elsa Gransilt, a notorious fugitive, was nicknamed "The Bowel Hunter."

The danger level is extremely high, after all, this person is very capricious and will kill whenever the mood strikes.

Just as Reinhard was about to make his move, Fang Rui stopped him: "Keep watching, the plot has reached a crucial point..."

Upon hearing this, Reinhard quickly realized that the Bowel Hunter and Emilia were connected.

"Get a little closer. It's not suitable to watch from too far away."

As he said this, Fang Rui teleported to the top of the stolen goods warehouse, kicked a hole in the roof, and looked down at the scene below.

Reinhard was beside him, also observing the situation inside the room.

Under their watchful eyes, the plot unfolded smoothly, and the battle was about to erupt...

Chapter 370 Some Gains

Listening to the conversation of the five people inside the house and watching the battle between the three, Reinhard, standing on the rooftop, already knew the cause and effect of the matter.

The assassins' initial plan, targeting the king's candidate, was to hire a thief to steal the badge symbolizing the king's candidate, thereby luring the candidate to the capital and then eliminating all those in the know.

However, an unexpected event occurred during the execution of the plan: the king's candidate found the thief first and attempted to retrieve the badge.

For assassins, having all those in the know gathered together is undoubtedly a good opportunity, not an unexpected negative outcome.

Thinking this, Reinhard frowned. The key to this matter lay in…

Someone is secretly contacting members of an assassin organization, attempting to assassinate the candidate for king.

He had met the other three king candidates many times and knew them somewhat; they were not the ones who contacted assassins to kill their rivals.

but……

Every king candidate has supporters, and it's normal for them to break the rules in order to ensure their chosen candidate's ultimate victory.

As the contemporary sword saint, his decision not to choose a side signifies his neutrality. Therefore, matters between the candidates for king should be handled by the candidates, not by him.

It is the knight's duty to apprehend wanted criminals and protect the safety of the kingdom's inhabitants.

"Mr. Fang Rui, please leave. I'm about to make my move!"

As he spoke, the flow of magic stirred up waves, and the wooden planks that made up the roof made a cracking sound. Fang Rui immediately understood what Reinhard meant.

Simply put, the roof is about to collapse; please leave as soon as possible.

"Don't worry about me, please do as you please!" Fang Rui waved his hand gently, indicating that Reinhard didn't need to worry, as he would be fine with his ability to fly.

"Is this so..."

Upon hearing this, Reinhard did not hesitate. He stomped on the roof and fell into the house in freefall.

Despite losing his footing, Fang Rui did not fall but remained suspended in the air, continuing to look down.

The sudden collapse of the roof startled both sides inside, causing them to separate from their struggle and stand at opposite ends, wary of each other while watching the person who had fallen into the house.

Amidst the swirling dust and falling sawdust, stood a handsome young man, surrounded by winds stirred by magic.

"Reinhard!!!"

Emilia let out a surprised sound, which also carried a sense of relief.

The blonde girl and the giant elder breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Emilia call out her name.

Reinhard van Astreya is the contemporary sword saint, representing the kingdom's strongest warrior, and is known to all.

With him around, a mere gut hunter couldn't possibly cause any trouble.

Only Subaru Natsuki, who was new to the area, lacked understanding of Reinhard and didn't quite understand why Emilia and the others looked so at ease.

Before he could voice his doubts, he heard the handsome young man say, "Are you ready? It's coming..."

After saying that, Reinhard vanished from his spot in an instant, and reappeared in front of the Bowel Hunter the next moment, delivering a knee strike to Elsa's abdomen.

Bang!

The silent impact echoed in the room, and a visible ring of air appeared and spread behind Elsa.

"Click~" He opened his mouth, and saliva sprayed out.

The intense pain caused Elsa's pupils to tremble, and she lost consciousness for a moment, but the powerful regenerative abilities brought by her half-vampire constitution allowed her to recover quickly.

Unfortunately, no matter how quickly he recovered, there was still a moment of distraction. As a top-tier expert, how could Reinhard let this opportunity slip by?

After the knee strike, he followed up with a punch to Elsa's cheek. The powerful punch sent her spinning into the air, her body contorted in a twisted position, like a wrung-out rag.

"Wow——"

Seeing Elsa fall to the ground, Natsuki Subaru made a sound that was hard to understand.

There was definitely some surprise, but besides that, there was a mix of other emotions...

In short, it sounds complicated.

Fang Rui slowly descended from the air and sat on Elsa's lap, which felt soft and yielding.

Reinhard didn't quite understand Fang Rui's actions. In his view, his attack had already broken more than a dozen bones in the enemy, rendering him unable to move for a short time. There was no need to bully someone who had no power to resist.

"Due to their special physical condition, they recover very quickly."

After a brief exchange of glances, Fang Rui was able to guess Reinhard's thoughts and explained.

Reinhard chose to believe Fang Rui's words and did not inquire further. Instead, he looked at Emilia and began talking to the others...

Afterwards, the Royal Selection Badge glowed in Felt's hand, and an excited Reinhardt hurriedly took her away.

Emilia and Subaru were in a daze, not yet understanding why Reinhard was acting this way.

The giant elder, known as "Grandpa Rom," was quite anxious. He rushed out of the house and chased after Reinhard in the direction he had left, but gave up after only a few steps.

Reinhard was too fast; he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even if Rom wanted to chase him, he wouldn't know where to go.

Seeing Reinhard leave, Fang Rui also did not linger there. He took Elsa and left the place, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

A person dressed in modern clothes was walking around in front of Natsuki Subaru, but he didn't react at all. Was it because his presence was too weak? Or was it because he had experienced too many things in a short period of time, causing Natsuki Subaru's brain to be overloaded and he didn't notice the problem?

………………

It was already night, and darkness enveloped the capital, with lights scattered sparsely in various places.

Many hotels were still open, but Fang Rui had no intention of staying there. He took Elsa to the edge of a forest outside the capital.

After throwing Elsa to the ground, Fang Rui took out camping equipment, food, and cooking utensils from his storage ring.

"Can you cook?"

Fang Rui was questioning Elsa, who was lying motionless on the ground, seemingly unconscious.

"When did you find out?" Upon hearing this, Elsa slowly sat up.

With her right hand supporting her on the grass and her legs crossed on her left side, her fair, translucent skin and beautiful figure were on full display in Fang Rui's view.

“At first…” Fang Rui sat on the tent bag, looking at the beautiful woman whose face was indifferent yet still exuded a charming aura, and said with great interest, “Your disguise was full of loopholes in my eyes, and never worked.”

Elsa didn't say anything, but instead speculated about Fang Rui's strength. The person traveling with Reinhard had the ability to levitate and moved at an extremely fast speed...

The abilities he has shown so far do not prove how powerful he is, so shall we give it a try?

Elsa kept her left palm hidden under her skirt, her expression unchanged, revealing not a trace of murderous intent.

The next second, Elsa exerted herself awkwardly, lunging forward with all her might, using her hands and feet to maintain her stability, and then pushed off the ground again, propelling her forward at an even faster speed.

With his left hand gripping the hilt of the scimitar, the blade sliced ​​through the air, aiming for Fang Rui's abdomen.

Even at such a crucial moment, she showed no intention of changing her preferences.

Fang Rui did not react at all, and the tip of the knife got closer and closer to his abdomen.

Almost there! Almost there! We're about to cut it down!

Elsa's expression gradually became excited, and her smile gradually became sickly.

clang----!

Like the sharp sound of steel clashing, the sharp curved blade struck Fang Rui's abdomen without even tearing his clothes.

Elsa's smile suddenly froze, and her excitement cooled.

"Really... naughty?"

With a questioning tone, Fang Rui swung his right arm and chopped Elsa's left shoulder with a chop, the sound of bone cracking was so clear.

Elsa lost her balance and fell to the ground, looking so disheveled.

"Hmm, 'mischievous' would be a good word to use."

Looking down at Elsa, Fang Rui's tone remained unchanged throughout, calmly saying, "Hurry up and make dinner, or I'll beat you up again!"

He slowly stood up, waving his right index finger like a conductor's baton. The tent bag was opened, and the items inside flew out one by one, assembling to form a tent.

Having recognized the difference in strength, Elsa did not continue to resist. She slowly got up, washed herself quickly, then rinsed the rice and vegetables and began to cook.

Fang Rui sat on a folding stool, quietly watching from the side...

Judging from Elsa's cooking style, she has some culinary skills. To know the exact level, we'll have to taste the food, but it should at least be edible.
