There shouldn't be many people who know about this; only those in the Star Core Hunters know his identity.
"Guess."
"Explain it to me clearly!"
"No way, you're a holographic projection anyway, you can't hit me."
Stephen Chow, in a playful mood, kept Silver Wolf in suspense before running away.
"Come back here!"
"Wow, the two new honorary members are really lively. Hook was right to choose them."
Seeing Silver Wolf angrily chasing after the fleeing Star, Hook nodded in satisfaction.
After a while...
Led by Hook, Stephen Chow arrives at a place that looks like a mine.
"This is the mineral marrow mine. My father used to work there, but now his health isn't very good, so he's no longer a miner."
Hook pointed ahead and introduced the situation. However, when he mentioned that his father's health was not good, Hook's previously high spirits immediately faded.
Suddenly, several people dressed as vagrants, each carrying a cloth bag, ran out of the mine.
"Stop! Put down these miners' belongings!"
The vagrants hadn't gone far when Bronya ran out of the cave and angrily berated them.
Chapter 24 Seele
"Hey girl, I advise you not to waste your energy chasing us. With your delicate skin, you can't outrun us."
"That's right. We should hurry up and let those miners go back and dig more ore. We didn't get much anyway, they can make it back in two days."
The homeless men laughed heartily, showing no intention of returning the items.
"Aren't you afraid the subterranean fire will come after you for doing this?!"
The miners were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
The vagrants were not only numerous but also armed; they were all carefree and fearless.
The miners themselves had nothing to use except their pickaxes.
Mining tools are a miner's livelihood; if they are damaged, he can't work anymore. His family is waiting for this money to eat, so naturally he wouldn't dare to use it to cause trouble with the homeless.
"So what if it's a fire? It's just a bunch of people who can be bribed. At worst, they'll get a beating. What's more important than filling my stomach?"
One of the wanderers snorted coldly, showing great disdain for the subterranean fire.
"What you are doing is illegal. As the commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard, I must punish you!"
Bronya's face turned cold upon seeing the homeless people's arrogant attitude.
"Silvermane Iron Guard? Commander? Wait... this outfit looks familiar?"
Upon hearing this, the wanderers all stared at Bronya.
"This looks like the Silvermane Iron Guard's uniform?"
"What! This girl is one of those Silvermane Iron Guards who separated the upper and lower levels and left us here to fend for ourselves!"
When the group of wanderers saw that Bronya was a Silvermane Iron Guard, they all glared at her with hatred.
"We didn't want to bother with you because you're a woman, but since you're a Silvermane Iron Guard, we brothers are going to teach you a lesson today!"
"Hmph, it's not certain who will teach whom a lesson."
Bronya drew her weapon and stared coldly at the group of vagrants.
"Julian!"
Hook saw Julian hiding at the entrance of the mine and shouted loudly.
"Ah, Boss Hook, I just brought Bronya here for a stroll, and we unexpectedly ran into these vagrants robbing the miners."
Julian, who had been looking worried, immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Hook.
"Hmph, those bad guys deserve to experience the power of the hole-punching machine! Let's go! Honorary members, let's show them what we're made of!"
Hook's sense of justice surged instantly, and he couldn't wait to use the hole-punching machine in his hand.
"Xing...you're here too."
Bronya heard the sound and looked towards Hook, where she saw Zhou Xingxing standing behind him.
"Little girl, you still have the leisure to look around!"
One of the wanderers, lacking any sense of martial ethics, raised his weapon and prepared to strike Bronya.
Bronya was just about to retaliate when, in the next second, a purple figure flashed by. The wanderer only felt a blur before his eyes, and then he was sent flying backward.
"You dare to steal from our territory? It seems you really don't understand any rules."
The purple-clad figure spoke in a cool tone, tinged with disdain and arrogance.
"Seele, you're here! These vagrants are getting more and more lawless! They dare to come into the mine and steal our supplies in broad daylight!"
"Yes, if it weren't for this young lady, they probably would have grabbed the food and run away long ago."
Upon seeing the underground fire, the miners perked up.
"Well, I see."
Seele nodded, then turned to look at the group of wanderers.
"If you return the supplies now, I can guarantee you'll be able to get out of bed and walk tomorrow."
When the group of wanderers saw Seele arrive, their earlier bravado vanished.
However, because they had more people on their side, the leader of the homeless group still did not intend to return the supplies.
"Earth fire, huh? Stop your fucking nonsense. I'm starving. Who cares about your rules? If you're going to be so good at following the rules, you might as well just come and rob me and try your luck."
The vagrant remained unrepentant, behaving like a self-righteous robber.
"Hmph, I'm afraid you'll not only miss your chance, but also lose your life."
Seele snorted coldly, not intending to waste any more words with these people, and drew her scythe, ready to take action.
"let me help you."
When Bronya saw Seele preparing to make a move, she quickly stood beside her.
"Hmph, no need. Speaking of which, I'll have to ask you about how the Silver Mane Iron Guard ended up here."
Seele gave Bronya a cold glance and refused Bronya's help.
"I didn't expect Sister Seele to show up. She's an honorary member. It seems we have no chance."
Seeing Seele make a move, Hook couldn't help but feel a little disappointed; he couldn't fight anymore.
"It's alright, kids shouldn't be fighting all the time."
Stephen Chow comforted him.
"What child! You're now an honorary member of the Mole Party, you should call me Lord Hook!"
"Yes, Lord Hook!"
Seeing Star so engrossed in playing with Hook, Silver Wolf couldn't help but shake his head.
......
On the other side, Seele's movements were so fast that they left afterimages in the air. Several wanderers were knocked unconscious by Seele before they could even put up a fight.
"Out of control."
Seeing that there were no more wanderers standing, Seele put away her weapon and prepared to collect the supplies scattered around during the battle.
Unexpectedly, Bronya was already picking up the supply bags and returning them to the miners.
"Thank you so much. If you hadn't held off those homeless people, they probably would have run away before Seele even arrived."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Bronya smiled and nodded, handing the supplies to everyone.
"..."
Seeing this, Seele's gaze towards Bronya was no longer as cold as before.
At least, there are still good people among the Silvermane Guards.
"Hook, what are you doing here?"
Seele looked at Hook and asked, while glancing at Stephen Chow behind Hook.
"Hello."
Seeing Seele looking at him, Zhou Xingxing greeted her; after all, Seele was his main damage dealer.
It has to be said that Seele looks very cool, but the way she looks at me is a bit fierce.
Are you Hook's friend?
"This is the Mole Party's newest member, Honorary Member, Star!"
Hook proudly introduced her to Seele.
"Really... It's good that someone's willing to join the Mole Party..."
Xi'er was speechless, and her gaze toward Zhou Xingxing became somewhat strange.
It's hard to imagine how a respectable adult could hang out with Hook, let alone join the Mole Party.
"Haha, you've been looked down upon."
Silver Wolf chuckled to himself, still bothered by Xing's refusal to reveal how she knew his identity.
Zhou Xingxing rolled his eyes at Silver Wolf, but now was not the time to respond.
"Actually, the main purpose was to gather some information, but since we didn't have any connections, we thought we'd ask the kids for help first."
Stephen Chow quickly explained.
He didn't want Seele's first impression of him to be that of an irresponsible, idle adult who hung out with children.
