My bloodline is so eager to improve.

As for Maika, he was used to Goren's laziness and patiently gave them instructions for the night.

"That idiot named Jereyard took twenty battle axes from me half a month ago."

He only paid 30% of the deposit, and he still hasn't paid the balance. Go and remind him.

"And while you're at it, take Otto along to broaden his horizons. Don't hold back against those adventurers; I'll be there if anything goes wrong."

As Michael gave his instructions, Otto gradually realized that they were going to collect debts.

Goren had no complaints about the task and simply nodded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Michael, we'll be back soon."

After receiving the debt contract, Goren waved to Otto, signaling him to follow him.

Seeing this, Otto immediately gripped his iron sword and followed Goren's pace.

At first, Goren didn't say much, he just walked one after the other with Otto.

Only when there were no other actresses around the two did Goren speak.

"Otto, right?"

As you probably already know, my name is Goren, a martial artist.

As for age, he's only one year younger than Javier.

You can just call me Goren, that's what Tessa calls me too.

By the way, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a married man.

She worked at the hotel that Mr. Maika had established.

Goren spoke in a gentle tone, as if he were chatting with a new neighbor.

However, after introducing himself, Goren had a few things to tell Otto.

"Next, we will meet a group of adventurers."

If a conflict arises, there's no need to hold back.

The reputation of an adventurer is earned through achievements and hard-fought battles.

A fool who hides their brilliance will never get ahead in this industry.

Otto had heard similar remarks from Lance and Michael.

He knew that Goren was patiently giving him instructions because he was worried that Goren would get stage fright.

Fortunately, Otto had accumulated a lot of experience before, so he wouldn't shrink back in front of adventurers.

Just as Goren was giving Otto some instructions, they arrived at their destination.

The mansion of Jerejad was brightly lit. The two burly guards at the door were about to reprimand the approaching people, but they fell silent the moment they saw Goren.

When Goren arrived before them, his tall figure stood as firm as a mountain, and the lingering smell of blood and overwhelming sense of oppression pinned the two men to the spot.

At that moment, the slight warmth that Goren had initially shown towards Otto was completely dispelled by his sharp gaze.

Goren didn't say much. He simply walked calmly past the two immobilized men, raised his hand and pushed the door open. The guards in front of him didn't even dare to put their hands on their sword hilts!

She was afraid that any action might anger the man in front of her.

Goren seemed to be used to this. He gestured for Otto to follow, and then stepped into the mansion.

In the living room, Jeremy was drinking with his men.

But as the living room door was flung open, a grim expression immediately appeared on Jarreard's face.

"Rabies!"

Jarryard recognized Goren. Without a word, he hurled his wine glass, and his four henchmen pounced on the intruders as if on command.

As for Jerejad, he fled in the opposite direction.

But Goren, looking at the adventurers rushing towards him, seemed to have no intention of making a move, and simply said calmly.

"You guys started this."

These words were like flipping a switch, and a blue stream of light immediately surged out behind Goren.

The Azure Moon Breathing Technique surged within Otto's body, and the moonlight gradually flowed around him.

Otto gripped the hilt of the sword, and the moonlight flowed down his arm and into the blade.

At that moment, Otto and the iron sword resonated with each other.

A wonderful feeling spread throughout my body.

Otto could feel his muscles and bones being filled with moonlight, and the fatigue he had accumulated earlier had completely disappeared.

Every heartbeat is filled with unparalleled explosive power!

At the very moment when his heartbeat resonated with the rhythm of the moonlight, Otto drew his iron sword.

First, a swift slash cleaved the attacker's head in two, followed immediately by a powerful thrust.

In an instant, Otto pierced another man's chest with his sword.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Otto dealt with the two attackers before they could even draw their weapons.

The advanced techniques of the Azure Moon Combat Art are extremely explosive, making them very suitable for adventurers like Otto who possess both agility and strength.

But there were two other people in the living room. Seeing their companion die tragically and their leader escape, they didn't want to take the blame themselves, so they immediately knocked over the lamp and prepared to slip away.

But just as darkness fell, they were astonished to find that the boy's footsteps had disappeared.

Otto inspired the ability to vanish without a trace.

Even in the dark, Otto had the advantage over the other two.

The black cat has spotted the two people; they're seventeen steps to your right and slightly ahead.

Although Otto may not be able to adapt to the darkness in a short time, this may not be a problem for his animal friends.

After confirming the two's location, Otto once again used Moon Essence, extending its explosive power.

The moment he stomped on the ground, two deep cracks appeared on the stone slab.

In the instant he mobilized all his strength, Otto shot towards the two men like an arrow released from a bow.

One of them seemed to sense the danger and raised his axe to defend himself.

But Otto showed no intention of retreating when he charged forward.

Moonlight gathered at the tip of the sword, and the iron sword accurately struck the wooden axe handle, shattering the axe handle in the process!

The thick handle of the fluorescent axe was pierced straight through as if it were made of paper, and in the instant the wood shards flew, Otto's thrust had already arrived.

The cool moonlight seeped into the prey's skin along the tip of the sword, then into its flesh, and finally, its heart!

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Man and Wolf (Please continue reading)

Otto's Moon Thrust pierced the prey's vitals.

The third person then died.

"There's only one person left."

Otto gradually adapted to the darkness, but he did not find any trace of the other person.

But the black cat told him that the person had not run away.

The black cat discovers that while you are fighting your prey, someone is flanking you from behind.

Behind the pillar, the man had already raised his dagger, intending to launch a surprise attack on Otto.

But Otto did not turn around; instead, he gripped the iron sword in reverse and thrust it backward.

Then, with warm blood spurting out, the last prey died completely.

Otto's animal friends were very excited. They had gained four more bloodline marks, which meant they could have a delicious meal.

As for Otto, he simply stood still, wary of his surroundings.

Only after confirming that there were no new enemies did he relight the stove.

Just then, Goren dragged the indebted Jerejad through the back door.

Looking at Otto's calm demeanor, Goren's eyes were full of admiration.

“You didn’t panic like those newbies, and you didn’t run away, which is great.”

But how can you be sure they aren't superhuman professionals, and that I might very well abandon you too?

But Goren's joke didn't elicit laughter from Otto; he simply said calmly.

“Maika let me learn from you, and since you left these people to me after I came in, you can’t expect me to face a group of extraordinary professionals.”

Of course, this is just a superficial statement. Otto confirmed before taking action that the magic ape did not react at all.

Clearly, Jereyad's four henchmen were just ordinary mortals like Otto.

As for psychological preparation?

Perhaps because of his previous adventures, Otto felt that these attackers were no different from slightly stronger goblins.

After calming himself down a bit, Otto wiped the blood off his sword and asked Goren a question.

"But you, did you get the money?"

What should we do next?

Otto looked at Goren, whose hands seemed to be gleaming with a metallic sheen.

As for Jerejad, he was dragging a broken battle axe in his hand.

But half a fist mark remained on the axe surface.

Clearly, this is Goren's masterpiece.

While Otto dealt with Jereard's men, Goren must have had a friendly chat with the indebted adventurer.

Upon hearing Otto's words, Goren looked annoyed.

He looked at Jeremy beside him and spoke in an annoyed tone.

"Hey, old man, look at me, you've made me lose face in front of the younger generation."

Goren gradually tightened his grip, his emerald eyes filled only with murderous intent.

But Jeremy showed no sign of backing down, and he immediately spat a mouthful of blood onto Goren's face.

But the humiliated Goren showed no sign of anger.

He lifted Jarryard, his grip tightening, and Jarryard's expression grew increasingly grim.

Until a crisp sound rang out, Jereyad was completely lifeless.

Goren simply tossed the corpse aside and immediately grabbed a bottle of liquor from the table and began to drink heavily.

"Hmph, you have money to buy expensive wine, but not money to pay your debts, huh?"

It seems the Dragon Slayer Blade has been underestimated lately.

Goren simply told Otto to find a place to sit down, as they might be spending some time there.

"According to the laws of the Kingdom of Thorne, if a debtor refuses to repay his debts or absconds after the due date, the creditor has the right to decide his life or death."

We did not sell him into slavery; we simply gave him a clean break, which was a legal act.

Goren was afraid that Otto might have some psychological burden, so he explained a few more words.

Goren looked towards the door, as if he had remembered something, and began to mutter to himself.

"When I was very young, there were thieves in the village."

He murdered a husband, insulted his wife, and even stole the money they had accumulated over a lifetime.

Upon learning of this, the village chief did not seek help from the town guards or the adventurer; instead, he led the villagers in a search of the surrounding area and quickly apprehended him.

When Goren told the story, Otto understood that Goren probably wanted him not to care too much about what happened tonight.

Upon seeing this, Otto immediately asked.
