Chapter 14: A Journey Toward Home

When their distance was only around 100 meters away, Kai finally saw a group of people fighting against a bunch of wolves.

Not only that, these people were also at a disadvantage since there was only one strong man who held his ground against two wolves on his own, while the others were barely able to fight back.

Naturally, Kai had detected the life energy of the strong human who was able to fight one-on-two with the wolves, as the life energy between every race was different.

Afterwards, Kai summoned another Goblin Captain and handed Nana to it.

“Let me play with the wolves for a bit so that you’ll know just how strong your brother is.” Kai patted Nana’s head softly with a smile.

“Hmmm–hmmm…” Nana nodded her head excitedly as she couldn’t wait to watch her brother fight the wolves.

Subsequently, Kai dashed ahead while looking at the two wolves’ information, as he wanted to see their stats so he’d know how much strength he needed to exert since he intended to play with them for a bit.

Taking a quick glance at the Wolves’ information, Kai raised an eyebrow and smiled satisfiedly.

‘Not bad, I’ll gladly accept them as my subordinates.’

Kai then looked at the man in his early 30s who had been dealing with the wolves alone, as he wanted to check his personal information.

To his surprise, when he checked the man’s information, his eyes widened. He was shocked to find that this man was loaded as fuck.

‘Damn, he has three items, and one of them is an Uncommon Rank? This guy shouldn’t be an unknown man.’ Kai suddenly thought about his name, Cedric.

Even if the items weren’t as good as the rewards that Kai had gotten, it could be said that it was still hard for someone to even get their hands on a Common Rank at this time, let alone have three items, one of which was at the Uncommon Rank.

It could be said that Cedric was either a person with great luck or ability, or he might even be both.

After thinking for a second, Kai suddenly remembered Cedric’s name and shouted to him, as he had almost arrived at the fighting scene.

“Do you want me to help you?” Kai asked as he suddenly attacked one of the wolves.

“Of course! Please help me hold one of them back, and I’ll kill the other as fast as I can. After that, we’ll kill the last one together and split the loot 50/50,” Cedric replied, tilting his head and was surprised to find that it was a young man.

Naturally, Cedric had known that someone was coming in this direction. However, he couldn’t afford to look away, as he was already busy enough dealing with the wolves on his own.

He also hadn’t expected that this young man would be able to fight the wolves leisurely, as if he wasn’t even using his full strength.

Cedric shook his head and focused his attention on the wolf in front of him instead, as he wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible instead of thinking such pointless things.

Just as Cedric was about to charge forward at the wolf once again, he was taken aback by Kai’s words.

“That’s not enough. Do remember that this is your fight, and I’m here to HELP you! So, if you want me to help you, you should pay for it.” Kai chuckled as he shook his head and looked at Cedric.

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother you again and will go on my way since I have something important to do.” Kai decisively kicked the wolf towards Cedric’s direction and backed up quite far, as if he no longer intended to fight the wolf, causing the wolf to join hands with the other and fight Cedric again.

Sigh!

“You’re right… What do you want, then?” Cedric sighed and asked Kai while fighting against the wolves.

He hadn’t expected that the young man would do something like that without batting an eye.

However, the fact that his strength was really strong was the one that concerned him. Let alone that he was right with the fact that this was his fight, and the young man had nothing to do with it.

So, it was reasonable that he wanted to get something for giving a helping hand.

“You can choose between the two rewards that I want from you. First, I want you to help me with something simple: accompany me to go west, around 8 km from here, and we’ll be even. Second, I want your armor.” Kai smiled as he explained what he wanted.

The reason why he wanted Cedric to accompany him on his journey was naturally, because Cedric was actually a strong tanker.

When Cedric heard it, he was shocked and frowned a while, as he had never expected that Kai knew about his Uncommon Rank armor and might even be eyeing it.

After a few seconds of thinking while fighting with the wolves, Cedric replied.

“If I choose the first option, what if there’s an extremely strong monster that we couldn’t even handle together?” Cedric asked, thinking there must be a powerful monster ahead since the young man wanted him to come along.

As for the fact that the young man mentioned his armor and wanted it as a reward, he didn’t believe that his real objective was the armor.

Because if the young man truly wanted it, Cedric believed there were a couple of ways he could’ve already taken it from him.
