It's him, the guy who just hit Finn, no doubt about it!

Connor stared intently at the figure, never expecting that it would be him who stepped forward in this critical moment.

Wang Yan didn't say a word. At this moment, he just wanted to deal with this thing as soon as possible. After all, the little cat girl was still waiting for him, and he didn't want Hua Yue to keep worrying.

"So you should just die first."

With his vertical pupils appearing and disappearing, Wang Yan's broadsword, when used against his immense strength, was like a meat grinder. Even that big head had to dodge frequently, not daring to confront him head-on.

Everyone present was stunned. They never expected that someone would step forward at this critical moment. In any case, this directly turned the tide of the battle and undoubtedly gave everyone a boost of confidence, greatly encouraging morale.

With Wang Yan's addition, the battlefield of the other three main beasts became a bit more aggressive. If they didn't fight desperately, it would be too late. They had to hurry up and deal with the strange beasts in front of them to avoid causing any more trouble.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The massive head was forced to retreat step by step by Wang Yan, its mouth constantly emitting piercing cries, and purplish-black blood flowed from its eye sockets, spreading a putrid stench.

Wang Yan frowned slightly, but he was still able to cope. He held his broadsword horizontally, the moonlight casting a cold, icy glow on it. An arc-shaped afterimage flashed by, its edge outlined in dark red by the blood of the strange beast.

As Wang Yan's blade flashed again and again, the strange beast was visibly dismembered and quickly defeated. Even when the head fell, the battles in the other three areas were not yet over.

A familiar feeling washed over him, and the small ball of light shot towards Wang Yan's forehead once again. Just like when he killed that long-tongued monster last time, Wang Yan once again obtained a "Seed of Purification." However, he still didn't understand what it was for, so he didn't think about it too much.

Wang Yan rolled his eyes, but since the crisis was over, he didn't bother with what was to come. He had no obligation to help the city defense team anyway, and since they could handle the rest, Wang Yan went back to the hotel first.

After defeating her opponent in the wilderness with a series of lance thrusts, Nitia, the young lady of the city lord's mansion, also completed her battle, assisting the captain of the city defense team in defeating the last main beast and initiating the counterattack.

The swarming beasts suddenly seemed to have lost their leader; some began to riot, while others scattered and fled. However, they were clearly in disarray, and the city defense team would clean them up without the need for further intervention.

Nitia removed her helmet, and her smooth golden hair cascaded down, revealing a face that contrasted sharply with her armor.

Her tiny body... she's actually a loli knight.

Nytia frowned as she looked at the fallen head, seemingly lost in thought. Just then, Connor hurried over.

"Big sister, the attack is over. Thanks to that person's help, otherwise the city would have been in grave danger..."

Nitia nodded slightly, exhaling a soft "Mmm" through her nose, and then spoke calmly:

"That mysterious person who suddenly made a move...do you know him?"

Connor pursed his lips, thought it over and over, and decided to tell her what had happened that night:

"Yes, Finn went into trouble again tonight, and he just happened to offend that guy. He beat Finn up, so I went over there."

Upon hearing Finn's name, especially the news that he had caused trouble again, Nytia's expression turned cold at a visible speed.

"Did you fight Finn?"

"I hit him."

Nitia nodded and continued:

"Find out where this person went. We'll pay them a visit tomorrow and make sure to thank them properly."

After telling Connor her plans, Nytia stopped paying attention to the matter and wanted to return to the city lord's mansion as soon as possible to report to her mother.

Wang Yan returned to the inn. Fortunately, he acted in time, and the inn was not affected. He found Xiao Huayue in his room. Although Wang Yan had left quickly enough, Huayue was still worried. When she saw him return, she hugged him tightly, as if she didn't want to let go.

Wang Yan gently stroked the cat's head and said softly, "Okay, I'm fine. Let go of me first, and let's talk in bed, okay?"

Hua Yue nodded obediently, let go of his hand, and was pulled to the bed by Wang Yan. However, after so much fuss, both of them were a little tired, so the romantic atmosphere was less intense, and she fell asleep in Wang Yan's arms.

Early the next morning.

Wang Yan rarely had the habit of sleeping in, but it seemed that sleeping with the kitten was quite comfortable. It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Wang Yan slowly woke up.

After a quick wash, Wang Yan prepared to take Hua Yue to the shopping street to buy some things he needed for his trip.

As soon as the two went downstairs, they saw a tall, bespectacled man waiting outside the door. Upon seeing Wang Yan, he quickly went to greet him.

Wang Yan looked at the man. Wasn't he the older brother of the blond guy from last night? Why did he suddenly appear?

Before he could think further, Connor bowed deeply and gave a very sincere salute before saying:

"Thank you very much for your help last night, sir. If it weren't for your intervention, Anju City would probably be in grave danger. On behalf of the people of this city, Connor offers you this gift."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, showing none of the typical airs of a young master.

Wang Yan looked at him indifferently. He didn't care much about the so-called formalities. After all, they were just empty gestures. If he really wanted to thank him, he could just show his sincerity!

"Well, if you don't have anything else to do, please don't block our way. My companion and I are going to buy some things. Thank you."

Cornell clearly understood what Wang Yan meant and quickly waved his hand, saying:

"Please do me the honor of visiting the City Lord's Mansion, sir. My mother and elder sister are extremely grateful for your help last night and wanted me to come and invite you over as soon as possible so they can thank you in person. Please grant us this opportunity!"

"Um?"

If there are benefits, then things are much easier to discuss. Wang Yan isn't an unreasonable person. Since there's a thank-you gift, why wouldn't he go?

However, Wang Yan pretended to think for a moment before saying to him:

"Alright, it's almost lunchtime anyway, we can go buy it later. Lead the way, let's go to the city lord's mansion."

Connor breathed a sigh of relief. That's great, as long as Wang Yan is willing to go. After all, his mother had repeatedly told him before he came that he must invite this person back. This trip was not in vain!
