Chapter 332: True Face

This Su Rui looks completely different from his usual self, acting like a madman, ready to draw his bow and arrows at any moment, already subtly assuming a combat stance.

Even though all eight leader knights knew what kind of person Su Rui was, his humble and courteous City Master image in front of the people always won their hearts.

Although being the Capital City Lord has nothing to do with common people, it must be admitted that Su Rui has the highest reputation among the people.

But now, for this young boy, he has already clashed openly with Hachikuju, who is also a Sub City Lord. This behavior is unusual, even though Su Liang, his severely injured brother, has been saved by him using a second-rank healing potion.

With Su Rui’s cunning, how could he have such a conflict with Hachikuju over a brother who did not die? This is the most puzzling aspect for Hachikuju.

Furthermore, the drastically changed Su Rui now shows clear signs of hostility towards Hachikuju and Zhang Mu. He hasn’t inquired about what happened, only demanding things as a pretext. Zhang Mu senses the rising murderous intent in him and prepares to face a possible battle at any moment by summoning the dormant Blood Lotus in his left arm.

The effectiveness of the second-rank potion is fully demonstrated on the first-tier Su Liang. Just as Hachikuju and Su Rui are in a stalemate, Su Liang suddenly wakes up and finds that the injuries that almost broke him earlier have completely disappeared.

After checking his own injuries, Su Liang sees Su Rui protecting him and immediately stands up behind his brother, watching Hachikuju holding a giant axe with fear in his eyes and occasionally a trace of malice.

“Brother, I just asked them to follow the city’s regulations, to dismount and undergo inspection. He wanted to kill me. Even when the old king told him I am your brother Su Rui, and threw me and the king from the city wall, the king died. This Hachikuju, he doesn’t care about you at all!”

Seeing Su Liang recover so quickly, it seems that the value of the potion makes up for the price paid for it. It would be good to get more of it in the future.

Su Rui, who looked unscathed, saw a slight relief in Su Liang’s expression, the madness in his eyes slowly fading away, but still staring at Hachikuju.

Calming down, without even looking back at Su Liang, a simple “shut up” made Su Liang too scared to speak again.

He knew his younger brother’s mischievous nature, taking advantage of his power to cause trouble, but remembering his own debt to him, he had already helped him hide many misdeeds harming innocent families.

Now, Su Rui couldn’t ignore whose fault it was, but Hachikuju shouldn’t have wounded his body.

He didn’t know how Su Liang’s real condition was, although the healing potions obtained from traders worked quickly, he worried about any potential side effects.

He cared about Su Liang’s well-being, and Hachikuju almost ruined his plans, causing him to lose his temper and almost act irrationally, if not for Su Liang waking up.

Initially on a routine patrol with the Grey Wolf Rider, now angered, he was ready to confront Hachikuju directly.

Sensing his leader’s silence, the Grey Wolf Rider subtly shifted their position, hinting at surrounding Hachikuju and Zhang Mu.

They didn’t care who Hachikuju was, or if this was the capital city, they only followed Su Rui’s orders.

“Su Rui, you sound very angry. Your younger brother was too much, so I, Hachikuju, will teach him a lesson. What do you want, do you really want to fight me at the city gate?”

Hachikuju purposely provoked Su Rui, emphasizing the words “city gate”, he wanted Su Rui to remember where they were, so that Zhang Mu wouldn’t get involved because of him.

The Grey Wolf Rider is not like any ordinary warrior, just a barrage of energy arrows is enough to take down several second-rank soldiers here, outnumbering the enemy, this type of soldier can have the greatest advantage.

Once surrounded by Su Rui’s Grey Wolf Rider, it’s hard to escape.

Su Liang’s recovery calmed Su Rui, who was recently acting crazy, and he continued to stare at Hachikuju for a long time before slowly saying, “Su Rui usually loves his younger brother very much. Just now, he saved him from the zombie horde, so he was very protective of him. That’s why he argued with City Lord Hachikuju. Please don’t be mad, City Lord Hachikuju.”

“Grey Wolf Rider, obey orders and let City Lord Hachikuju leave.”

Before Hachikuju could respond, Su Rui waved his hand and ordered the riders to clear the way.

This was the true face of the normal Su Rui, it was unknown what Hachikuju had touched earlier, causing him to change his behavior so drastically.

The Grey Wolf Rider strictly obeyed Su Rui’s command, and the half-surrounding circle quickly gave Hachikuju a way out.

Hachikuju felt confused, but remembering Zhang Mu was there to help him, he grabbed the reins of Red Blood and slung the giant axe over his shoulder, then slowly made his way back to the capital city.

Meanwhile, when Zhang Mu saw Hachikuju had already left, he made Obsidian Beetle rise into the air and flew above the heads of the Grey Wolf Rider group.

“Brother, why let them go?”

The whole Grey Wolf Rider group was there, they could have killed him while his Red Flame Wolf Rider didn’t follow. Brother, then in the competition for the Capital City Lord, you would have one less rival.”

Su Liang looked at the backs of Zhang Mu and Hachikuju, a hint of ruthlessness crossed his eyes, recalling the scene of being thrown off a thirty-meter high wall by Hachikuju just now. Feeling agitated, he asked Su Rui with a somewhat accusing tone.

Unexpectedly, Su Rui turned around and slapped him, not even looking at him, and slowly said, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. It’s fine usually, letting you live comfortably, but I can’t let you step on the head of a Sub City Lord.”

Kill him?

Kill him and the other six Sub City Lords will just sit by and watch?

At that time, there would be a reason for them to unite, and the first one they’d eliminate together would be me, Su Rui.

After all, is Hachikuju easy to kill? Those who can become a Sub City Lord must be skilled, right?

Moreover, the stranger next to him, who controls a second-rank insect tribe and a mysterious second-rank revolver, made me feel a hint of danger. He must be a complex character.”

After Su Rui finished speaking, he led Grey Wolf Rider slowly into the capital, leaving Su Liang alone behind. A cold voice suddenly sounded in Su Liang’s ear as the hoofbeats gradually faded away.

“If I hadn’t arrived in time this time, you would already be dead. There won’t be a next time, so treasure your life.”

The area outside the capital gates suddenly became empty, and Su Liang, who was left alone, felt for the first time the strangeness of his brother, who had taken such good care of him since rescuing him from the ruins.

He blamed everything on Hachikuju and Zhang Mu, clenching his fists in pain and gritting his teeth as he stared at the shattered city gates and towers.
