Chapter 1911
The reason is that Dustin Rhys hates traitors very much, and duplicitous people like this should be severely punished. After dealing with the five people, those generals who followed the rebellion were demoted, recruited, and imprisoned. The specific situation depends on whether these people are voluntary or forced.
While dealing with the rebellion, Dustin Rhys also asked Albert to lead a group of dragon guards to follow the instructions of the treasure map to the location of the treasure house of Dragon Protection Pavillion. The whole process went smoothly.
Although there are experts guarding the Dragon Protection Pavilion, it is still not enough in front of the great master Albert. With a gentle delivery, the remnants of the Dragon Guard Pavilion were wiped out, and all the treasures in the treasure house were dragged back.
I have to admit that what Lorenzo said is true. The treasures in the treasure house are really piled up like mountains. West Lucozia Prince's Mansion dispatched a total of hundreds of large trucks and spent tens of thousands of manpower to clear out the treasure house.
The treasures carried were so large and valuable that it was impossible to count them. Conservative estimates suggest that there is basically no need to worry about West Lucozia’s military expenditures in the next twenty years. There is so much treasure in one treasure house. The three treasure houses combined make the country extremely rich.
The first thing to do when the treasure is brought back is to reward it based on merit. The three major princes in the south, Prince WenWen, Prince Zhang Ao, and Prince Zhou Bo, were all meritorious ministers and naturally received heavy rewards.
The generals and soldiers under his command also received varying degrees of rewards. By the time everything was done, three days had passed. Three days later, at noon. While Dustin Rhys was eating, Albert suddenly came to the door, holding a wooden box in his hand.
"Your Highness, I have something to report."
Albert bowed his body and kept his posture very low.
"Sit down and talk."
Dustin Rhys said with one hand.
"I don't dare."
Albert glanced at the dishes on the table, lowered his head and said,
"His Highness is having a meal, I don't dare to disturb you, I'd better come back later."
"It doesn't matter, just say whatever you want." Dustin Rhys didn't care.
"Yes."
Albert responded, put the box on a stool aside, and reported,
"Lorenzo has kept his promise and committed suicide. What is in this box is his head. Do you want to see it with your own eyes, Your Highness?" "
Hearing this, Dustin Rhys stopped picking up vegetables, and a flash of regret flashed in his eyes, but soon he returned to normal.
"No need to look at it, just send it back and give it a good burial." Dustin Rhys said calmly.
"Yes."
Albert picked up the wooden box and prepared to leave.
"Wait..."
Dustin Rhys raised his head and warned again:
"Don't embarrass his family."
"Old slave, I understand."
Albert nodded and bowed to leave.
"One more thing to leave."
Dustin Rhys sighed softly, his expression a little complicated. He hated Lorenzo's betrayal, but at the same time, he understood the other party's choice. Put yourself in another person's shoes, for the sake of your family, the other person did nothing wrong. It can only be said that the two sides have different positions and different choices.
Chapter 1912
After lunch, Dustin Rhys suddenly received a call from Margaret, saying that he had something important to discuss, and the location was at his old house in the west of the city. Dustin Rhys had bought the old house in the west of the city and used it specifically to train spies.
The girls who had been harmed by Su Peng before joined West Lucozia's spy camp with the determination to die. Their ambition is that they don’t want anyone to suffer like them. Dustin Rhys deeply admired this kind of righteousness and helped these girls.
After being trained by Sun Tong, these girls have already started, but it will take at least three years of training before they can actually perform their tasks. Dustin Rhys hopes very much that he will never need them in his life.
Because this means that the world is peaceful, and the spies will only take action when encountering potential threats. But most of them narrowly escaped death.
Half an hour later, Dustin Rhys arrived at the old house in the west of the city and walked into the meeting hall. At this moment, Margaret has been waiting for a long time.
Today, Margaret is dressed in Tsing Yi, and still has a hat and veil on her head, covering her beautiful face. But even if you don't look at the appearance, just look at the figure, she is still so attractive.
Especially the mysterious and mysterious special temperament of the other party, which is completely natural and charming, and it is easy for people to imagine.
"Here? Sit down." Margaret poured a cup of tea for Dustin Rhys himself.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly came to me. I wonder if I have any advice?" Dustin Rhys calmly sat down.
"We are so familiar with each other. Doesn't it seem a bit unfamiliar to call her Princess? How about changing the title?" Margaret said with a half-smile.
"What to change? Miss Li? Ms. Li?" Dustin Rhys was a little confused.
"Hey, do you need to be so polite? Will you die if you call me Margaret?" Margaret rolled his eyes.
"Aren't I afraid that you will mind? Okay, okay, just love the city." Dustin Rhys shrugged.
The two of them are now considered life-and-death friends, so it's normal for them to become more familiar with each other.
"Hmph! Why do I look at you, you seem very unhappy?" Margaret's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
"I'm happy, of course I'm happy. It's my honor to be friends with the Princess of Dragonmarsh." Dustin Rhys showed a professional fake smile.
"Not sincere!" Margaret snorted and did not care too much. Instead, he got down to the topic and said:
"I invited you over today mainly to discuss what we should do next. Now that West Lucozia has stabilized, All the remnants of the Dragon Protection Pavilion have been wiped out. According to the agreement between you and me, now you should find the Dragon Source Energy for me."
"Don't worry, I will naturally do what I promised you. As long as there is something related to the Dragon Source Energy news, I will accompany you immediately to find out." Dustin Rhys said seriously.
From the moment he received the call, he roughly guessed Margaret's intention. But now, the whereabouts of Dragon Source Energy are unknown, and there is no news at all. He can't just run around the world like a headless fly.
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved."
Margaret smiled with satisfaction:
"To be honest, my people have been looking for the dragon's source of energy, and just the day before yesterday, we finally had relevant clues ."
"Oh?"
Dustin Rhys raised his eyebrows, quite surprised:
"You mean, you have found one of the Dragon Origin energy?"
"It's not even close to finding it. I can only say that there is a great chance." Margaret shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Dustin Rhys was a little strange.
"According to my people's investigation, not long ago, a strange phenomenon occurred somewhere on the northwest border. An oasis suddenly appeared in the desert that was originally uninhabited. The strangest thing is that the area of this oasis continues to expand, and its vigorous vitality, it is simply incredible, so I suspect that there should be a dragon source energy hidden under this oasis. As for whether it is there, we need to investigate carefully." Margaret explained.
"The desert suddenly turned into an oasis? This is indeed strange."
Dustin Rhys touched his chin and asked tentatively:
"Do your people have any other clues?" "
No." Margaret's tone became serious:
"This This oasis is like another world. After my people enter, they will completely lose their traces and cannot be contacted. So far, I have sent three waves of people in, but without exception, they have all disappeared. So far, no one has been found. Whereabouts."
"So powerful?"
Dustin Rhys's eyelids twitched: "According to what you said, wouldn't this oasis be very dangerous?"
Three waves of spies have lost their traces, and they are probably cold. What kind of oasis is this? This is clearly the mouth of the abyss that eats people.
"If it's not dangerous, why would I look for you?" Margaret said matter-of-factly.
"Ah..." Dustin Rhys's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a moment.
"As the tenth strongest man on the world-shaking list, looking at the entire world, except for those dangerous places, there are very few things that can threaten you, so you don't have to worry about safety at all." Margaret smiled.
"Fewer is less, but it doesn't mean there is none." Dustin Rhys muttered.
The world is so big and full of wonders, so what if it’s tenth on the world-shaking list? Even the fifth-ranked Ji Yuanzun died from the God-Destroying Poison, what else could happen?
"Logan Rhys, aren't you afraid anymore?" Margaret said suspiciously.
"What a joke! How can I, a seven-foot tall man, be afraid? Let alone an oasis, even if it is a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, I will accompany you for a walk!" Dustin Rhys said loudly.
The previous words have been released, so naturally we cannot give in at this time.
"Very good! Let's make an agreement then!" Margaret smiled, her beautiful eyes turning into crescent moons.
"When should we set off?" Dustin Rhys asked.
"Without further ado, we'll leave tonight." Margaret said.
"So fast? Why don't you make preparations or something?" Dustin Rhys was startled.
"I have already prepared everything that should be prepared. Now all forces are eyeing this oasis. Many people think there is a treasure in it. We must hurry up. If someone gets there first, it will be bad." Margaret's tone was serious.
Hearing this, Dustin Rhys nodded:
"Okay, then I'll do as you say. I'll go back and let you know, and pack your luggage accordingly. Let's head to the northwest desert tonight!"
Chapter 1913
After returning to the palace, Dustin Rhys did not alarm anyone, but wrote two letters.
One letter was left in Prince Rhys's study, and the other was left in Thorin Rhys's bedroom.
These two letters are a farewell before leaving.
He is not good at dealing with emotional issues. Sometimes, leaving silently may not be a better choice.
At dusk, Dustin Rhys got into Margaret's car and headed straight to the southwest desert.
The largest desert in the southwest is called the Death Desert.
Because the environment is harsh and dangerous, people who accidentally break in will almost die, so it is named after it.
Of course, although the Death Desert is dangerous, there are also various treasures and even gold mines hidden in it.
Therefore, there are often expedition teams, risking their lives and trying their luck in the desert.
If you're lucky and find some treasure, you might become rich overnight.
But if you are unlucky, you can easily die.
It is no exaggeration to say that hundreds of people are buried in the Desert of Death every year because of hunting for treasures and gold.
Although many people died, there was still a steady stream of expedition teams rushing in one after another.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. There are always some desperate people who are not afraid of death and dream of getting rich overnight.
Margaret had naturally heard of the name of the Death Desert. In order to successfully find that magical oasis, she spent a lot of money to hire a professional team that had explored the Death Desert and successfully survived to lead the way.
Including the escort she led, there were more than a hundred people and more than thirty vehicles in total.
Half of the vehicles were loaded with supplies.
Food, water, compass, communication equipment, first aid kit, sun protection clothing, various rescue tools, everything is available.
Dustin Margaret basically prepared enough for everything that could be used through the night.
The convoy continued to move forward without stopping at all.
Dustin Rhys leaned on his seat, looking through the window at the moonlight in the sky, his expression neither happy nor sad.
"What are you thinking about?"
Margaret took out a bottle of water and handed it to Dustin Rhys next to him.
"Thank you."
Dustin Rhys opened the bottle cap, took a sip, and said calmly: "I was wondering, what kind of obstacles will we encounter on our trip to the desert?" "The obstacles are definitely unavoidable."
Margaret's expression Calmly said: "The matter of Dragon Origin energy has spread throughout the world. Not only our Dragonmarsh, but also many foreign forces are also eyeing this piece of fat. In other words, what we are facing this time Competitors come from all over the world. It is indeed not easy to stand out among these powerful enemies." "
Looking at how confident you are, you should be somewhat sure, right?" Dustin Rhys asked tentatively.
"Of course, because I have a secret weapon." Margaret smiled slightly.
"Oh? What secret weapon?" Dustin Rhys became interested instantly.
"I can't tell you yet. If you have the chance, you will know." Margaret let it slip.
"Okay, then I will be a tool and listen to your orders." Dustin Rhys shrugged, looking lazy.
It is really easy to work with Margaret, because the other party will arrange all kinds of things, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
"We're still some distance away from our destination. You have a good rest. I'll call you when we're almost there." Margaret thoughtfully handed over the eye mask and soundproof earplugs.
"No problem."
Dustin Rhys didn't refuse. He put on his eye mask, plugged in his earplugs, leaned his seat back, lay down in a comfortable position, and began to sleep soundly.
Margaret took out a blanket, gently covered Dustin Rhys's chest, and then quietly read a book.
Chapter 1914
The vehicle was traveling at a constant speed, very smoothly.
Finally, at noon the next day, we arrived at the edge of the Death Desert.
On the edge of the desert, there is a large village with about five to six hundred households living there.
There are hotels, gas stations, supermarkets, etc. in the village.
Although the scale is not large, it basically has everything that should be there.
For the expedition team, this village is a supply station that can save lives at critical moments.
Regardless of whether they are entering the desert or coming out of the desert, they will stop in this village to rest and inquire about some news.
It is worth mentioning that due to the difficulty in transporting supplies, prices in the village are several times higher than outside.
After Margaret's motorcade entered the village, it finally stopped in front of a country hotel called [House of Hope].
This country hotel was formerly a renovated primary school. It has enough rooms to accommodate more than a hundred people, which is not a problem at all.
"Miss Li, we're here."
After the motorcade stopped, a man dressed as a mercenary knocked on Margaret's car window.
The man is in his thirties, wearing a yellow camouflage uniform and leather boots. He is tall and has tough features, giving people the impression of a tough guy.
The man's name was Jonathan. He was the captain of the expedition team. He had led the team into the desert of death twice and returned safely. He was also the guide hired by Margaret with a lot of money.
This trip to the desert will be led by Jonathan.
"Captain, is this the desert village?"
Margaret opened the door and looked around.
The village is not small, and all of them are low-rise buildings. Because they have been exposed to the baptism of wind and sand all year round, many places look relatively dilapidated and crude.
However, the hotel in front of us called [House of Hope] is somewhat exception.
It looks clean and tidy, probably because it is cleaned frequently.
"Yes, there is only such a village within a hundred miles. Because it is close to the desert of death, it is called a desert village." "Although it is a
small place, there are all kinds of things. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can find everything in a big city." Many things can be bought here."
"All kinds of people traveling from south to north, as long as they plan to explore the desert, will stay in the village for a few days, on the one hand to purchase supplies and on the other hand to inquire about news."
Jonathan Explained with a smile.
"Very good, then let's stay here first and see what happens." Margaret nodded.
After traveling for a day and a night, most people were tired and needed a good rest before they had the energy to complete the task.
"Are you there?"
At this time, Dustin Rhys took off his eye mask, squinted and got out of the car.
"Here we are, let's stay at this hotel today." Margaret replied.
"Miss Li, this is..."
Seeing Dustin Rhys walking out of Margaret's car, Jonathan couldn't help but frown slightly, looking a little unhappy.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you."
Margaret guided Jonathan with one hand and said, "This is Jonathan, the captain of the Black Scorpion Expedition Team. He has entered the Death Desert twice. He has rich experience and outstanding abilities. This time we are in the desert. The expedition will all be led by Jonathan."
After saying that, he directed him to Dustin Rhys: "Captain, this is my friend and bodyguard. Dustin Rhys, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to him." "Captain,
you Okay, please give me some advice."
Dustin Rhys smiled slightly and reached out his hand.
"Bodyguard?"
Jonathan looked up and down and said calmly: "Miss Li, are you being deceived? This guy's little arms and legs look so helpless, how can he protect you?"
Chapter 1915
Jonathan's sudden hostility made Dustin Rhys slightly startled and a little confused.
He asked himself that this was the first time the two of them met and there was no grudge between them. Why was this guy in front of him so arrogant?
"Captain, have we met before?" Dustin Rhys asked calmly.
The raised hand was slowly lowered.
"I haven't seen it before." Jonathan had a cold face.
"Since I haven't seen him before, why do you say this?" Dustin Rhys asked.
"I'm just thinking about Miss Li."
Jonathan said calmly: "The Death Desert is full of dangers. People who go in will almost die. Without strong strength, professional knowledge, and rich experience, ordinary people can't survive in it. It only lasts for one day.
Miss Li spent a lot of money to invite me over, so I am naturally responsible for her safety. From your appearance and behavior, it is obvious that you are not a professional bodyguard, so I am very doubtful about your ability. In case of
death If you encounter any danger in the desert, I'm afraid that you won't be able to protect Miss Li, but will harm others and yourself!"
These words were simple and rude, without any mercy.
"Captain, Margaret has her own reasons for inviting me over. Your duty is to lead the way and let us avoid various risks, that's all. You don't need to worry about the rest. Just do your part. Don't cross the line, it's not your turn to teach me whether I can do it or not." Dustin Rhys said in an indifferent tone.
Although he has an easy-going personality, he doesn't like to be told what to do.
"You have to make money according to your ability. This matter is related to your wealth and life, so you can't be careless."
Jonathan said, turning his eyes to Margaret, and said seriously: "Miss Li, regarding bodyguards, I know a few powerful people. Experts, if you trust me, I can invite them for you, but it will cost a little more money."
"Captain, I appreciate your kindness, but I believe in Dustin Rhys's ability. With him here, There will be no problem with my safety." Margaret said calmly.
As the tenth strongest man on the world-shattering list, even Dustin Rhys couldn't solve the dangers in the desert of death.
Then these people can only wait to die.
"Miss Li..."
Jonathan was about to say something, but was interrupted by Margaret raising his hand: "Okay, Captain, no need to say more, you first go and inquire about the death desert, and try your best to Let's collect more information and we'll talk later."
"Yes."
At this point, Jonathan could only nod.
But before leaving, he glanced at Dustin Rhys with disapproval, obviously looking down on him.
"Margaret, you seem a little arrogant when you find this team leader." Dustin Rhys teased.
"Ao is a bit arrogant, but he still has some real abilities. We are going to enter the desert of death, and his help is indispensable. You, sir, have a lot, so don't be as knowledgeable as him." Margaret smiled lightly.
"As long as he doesn't violate my bottom line, it doesn't matter if he makes a few yin and yang comments and shows his face." Dustin Rhys shrugged.
It's not that he has no tolerance for others, he has seen too many arrogant guys like this.
Most of them have high ambitions but low ambitions. They only hope that this person named Jonathan will not be an embroidered pillow.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's choose a room first. If nothing else happens, we will stay here tonight." Margaret changed the subject.
"Okay, I happen to be hungry. Let's clean up and start dinner." Dustin Rhys touched his dry belly.
He knew very well that there were two well-known chefs in Margaret's team this time, who were proficient in cuisines from all over the world.
In addition, the supplies carried are sufficient, so there is no need to worry about food.
...
In a tavern in the desert village.
Jonathan took several members of the Black Scorpion Team and sat down at a random table.
A few people were drinking and chatting, observing the surroundings from time to time.
At this moment, there were many people sitting in the tavern.
Judging from their attire, these are basically explorers. They are in small groups, each occupying their own area. It can be said that they are a mixed bag of fish and dragons.
"Captain, we haven't encountered so many adventure teams the last two times we've been here, right? What's going on this time? From the time we entered the village to now, we have met no less than five teams." A bald man Han held a cigar in his mouth and glanced around.
"There are really not so many people on weekdays. This time all the forces gathered together. There should be a treasure to be discovered, and it is most likely related to the sudden appearance of the oasis." Jonathan said.
The news of an oasis suddenly appearing in the desert of death has spread in the circle.
Many international expedition teams have made changes and are expected to arrive here soon.
"Captain, do you know what's in that oasis?" the bald man asked tentatively.
"It's not clear what it is specifically."
Jonathan shook his head: "But as far as I know, that oasis is a hundred times more dangerous than the desert. Anyone who goes in has never come out again, but it can make so many people flock to it. , take the risk, the treasure inside must be priceless."
"Okay, okay, no matter what is inside, it has nothing to do with us. We are using money to do things, just bring people in safely and bring them out safely. The inability to find the treasure has nothing to do with us." A short-haired woman wearing a smart outfit said.
"That's true." The bald man nodded.
They have already received 30% of the remuneration. As long as the depositor survives, they will get the balance, and there is no need to worry about the rest.
"Captain, but then again, who is Miss Li? How can she be so generous? We have been in the industry for ten years and have never met such a generous sponsor." The short-haired woman asked curiously.
"Miss Li doesn't want to show her true face to others. She just doesn't want to expose her identity. There are rules in the industry. We can't ask any more questions." Jonathan shook his head.
"Captain, you have looked at Miss Li no less than ten times along the way. Are you interested in her?" The short-haired woman smiled ambiguously.
"I don't know what to say. Miss Li seems to have a special magic power. As soon as I see her, I feel like we have seen each other before, as if we are destined to be together." Jonathan narrowed his eyes and said.
"Fate? Oh~ I understand!"
The short-haired man suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing and joking: "Captain, you are miserable, you have fallen in love!"
Chapter 1916
"I have never felt like this before, this time is really different."
Faced with the ridicule, Jonathan did not deny it.
They are all brothers and sisters who have been through life and death together. There is nothing that cannot be said.
"This Miss Li is indeed very special. Although I haven't seen her in the lineup, she gives me the impression that she is the kind of gorgeous beauty." The bald man said with great energy.
"Bullshit, Miss Li is the woman that the captain likes. You'd better not have any wrong ideas." The short-haired girl warned.
"Look at what you said, I just mentioned it casually, how dare you steal a woman from the captain?" The bald man smiled sarcastically.
"Captain, it's rare that I meet someone who can make your heart beat. Don't worry, just take action boldly. With your masculine charm, there will be no problem!" the short-haired girl said confidently.
"I'm afraid it's already too late."
Jonathan shook his head and said, "There is a bodyguard beside Ms. Li. The two of them are in the same car and their relationship is ambiguous. I probably have no chance." Previously, he mainly
targeted Dustin Rhys . Still a little jealous.
And judging from Margaret's attitude in defending each other, it is obvious that the two are not ordinary friends.
"Captain, have you ever heard of a saying that as long as you swing your hoe well, you can dig down any wall?" The short-haired girl narrowed her eyes.
"Oh? Do you have any good ideas?" Jonathan suddenly became interested.
"It's very simple. As long as the bodyguard next to Miss Li dies, don't you have a chance?" The short-haired girl said in surprise.
Hearing this, Jonathan's face froze. He looked around and found that no one was eavesdropping. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Sarah, don't talk nonsense. There are rules in the industry. We are an expedition team, not mercenaries. We kill people and steal goods." Once the news gets out, we won't have to mess around anymore."
"Captain, as long as we do it without anyone noticing, who will know?" the short-haired girl said with a half-smile.
He has been traveling around the world for many years, engaging in intrigues and fighting for life and death, with countless lives on his hands.
For them, killing someone is just a common thing.
"To be Miss Li's personal bodyguard, this person should have some skills. It is obviously not easy to assassinate him without anyone noticing. Besides, Miss Li also has a bodyguard around her. It would be too risky to do so. ." Jonathan was thoughtful.
"Captain, you are a fan of the authorities. I didn't say we were going to kill people now. Don't forget where our advantage is?" The short-haired girl smiled meaningfully.
"You mean... the desert of death?"
After being stunned for a moment, Jonathan quickly reacted.
"That's right!"
The short-haired girl snapped her fingers and said with a smile: "The Death Desert is full of dangers. I don't know how many people die in it every year. As long as we find a suitable opportunity to kill the bodyguard accidentally, it shouldn't be difficult. By then, you can stay and fly with Miss Li."
"Hahaha... That makes sense! When we enter the desert of death, we will find another opportunity to kill him!" The bald man couldn't help laughing. Made a sound.
It was so unusual that it attracted the attention of many people in the tavern.
"Hey, do you want your voice to be louder? How about I give you a loudspeaker and let you shout outside?" the short-haired girl said angrily.
"I'm born with a loud voice." The bald man scratched his head and quickly lowered his voice.
"Captain, what do you think? Happiness is beckoning to you. As long as you get rid of that troublesome guy, you will definitely be able to embrace the beauty." The short-haired girl followed the temptation.
"Okay! Just do as you say!"
A fierce light flashed in Jonathan's eyes, and he murmured with a gloomy face: "If you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you. Dustin Rhys, don't blame me for being ruthless. The only blame is that your own life is not good. My way!”
Chapter 1917
"Sneeze!"
In the hotel, Dustin Rhys, who had just changed his clothes, suddenly sneezed and muttered to himself: "Who is thinking about me?"
Dustin Rhys rubbed his nose, walked out of the room, and came Arrive at the hotel cafeteria.
Because this hotel was renovated from a primary school, the cafeteria is quite large, about two to three hundred square meters.
It is more than enough to accommodate more than a hundred people for dinner.
"Here."
Dustin Rhys had just entered the dining hall when he saw Margaret raising his hand to wave.
When I walked forward, I saw that there were more than a dozen delicacies on the table.
"These dishes are all made by our chefs. They are safe and delicious. You can just eat them with confidence." Margaret explained.
"You should be cautious." Dustin Rhys smiled.
Not politely, he sat down on the chair and began to feast.
"It's always good to be cautious when going out. This is the edge of the desert of death, where all kinds of fish and dragons are mixed together. If you're not careful, you might get caught at some point." Margaret picked up the chopsticks and chewed slowly, with graceful movements.
While the two were eating.
A group of young men and women wearing green clothes and holding swords suddenly walked in.
These people have powerful auras, sharp eyes, and a strong sense of oppression. Judging from their clothes, they should be disciples of martial arts in the world.
The leader among them was a thin man with a hooked nose, in his thirties, with a somewhat fierce face, and he looked like he was not a good person.
"Senior Brother, isn't this place too shabby? There are a lot of dirty things, how can we eat?"
A girl with a ponytail looked around with a disgusted expression.
"I can't help it. This time the situation is special, so I'll make do with it a little bit." The man with the hooked nose persuaded him kindly.
"Forget it, you're here, just eat whatever you want, I'm almost starving."
The girl with the ponytail found a relatively clean seat and sat down, then shouted: "Hey! Waiter! Let's take care of your best here." Give me a portion of all the good dishes!"
"Okay!" the waiter responded with a smile.
Then he ordered the cook to prepare a few expensive dishes and served them first.
As a result, the girl with the ponytail picked up the food and took a bite, and immediately vomited it out: "Bah! What are you talking about? Why does it taste so bad? This lady is disgusted to death!" "How bold!" the hook-nosed man slapped
her
. The table, shouted: "You are trying to fool us with such an unsightly thing, are you deliberately looking for trouble?!" "
Hmph! Do you know who we are? How dare you be so negligent, believe it or not, we will demolish your shop!"
Others The disciples of the same sect stood up one after another, looking fierce.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry. These are already the most expensive ingredients in the shop. If there's anything wrong with the reception, please forgive me." The waiter was so frightened that he apologized repeatedly.
"You're lying!"
The ponytail girl stood up, suddenly pointed at Dustin Rhys and Margaret, and shouted: "Why do they eat better than us? You clearly look down on us!"
Chapter 1918
Dustin Rhys and Margaret were watching a show, but the girl with the ponytail suddenly changed direction and pointed the finger at the two of them. They were a bit unable to react for a while.
"That's right! They have more than a dozen dishes, all of which are delicious and delicious. Look at what's on our table. It's just a pile of garbage!" "I don't care!
Change it for us immediately, otherwise don't blame us for getting mad!"
Everyone started shouting, and while they were talking, they threw the food on the table to the ground, leaving a mess all over the floor.
"Dear fellows, the store's capacity is limited and it really can't replace these famous dishes." The waiter said with a sad face and was very embarrassed.
"Can't change it? Do you think we can't afford it?" The hook-nosed man had a gloomy look on his face.
"What a dog looks down upon others! Are you going to treat us differently? Do you know who we are? We are disciples of the Flying Snow Sect, which is famous in the world. If you piss us off, we will destroy your store in a minute!" The girl with the ponytail He shouted fiercely.
"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding..." The waiter was frightened and explained again and again: "These famous dishes are cooked by the chefs brought by the guests. We just provided the kitchen." "What? Your own
cook?" Are you kidding me? Who brings a cook with them when they go out?" The girl with the ponytail looked suspicious.
People who come to the Desert of Death are basically exploring and hunting for treasures, and they bring the cook with them. What do you mean?
"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. I dare not lie to you." The waiter said confidently.
Hearing this, the Flying Snow Sect disciples couldn't help but look at each other, and finally turned their attention to Dustin Rhys and Margaret.
"Hey, are these dishes really made by your own people?"
The girl with the ponytail stepped forward and asked condescendingly.
"That's right."
Margaret nodded and said, "I can't get used to the food outside, so I brought my own cook." "
Really?"
The girl with the ponytail took a closer look at the food on the table and couldn't help but marveled: "Longjing Shrimp, squirrel mandarin fish, Kung Pao chicken, Dongpo pork, Buddha Jumping over the Wall, etc... Can the two of you finish eating so many expensive dishes?"
He said without waiting for the two of them to respond. She directly picked up the spare chopsticks, picked up a piece of mandarin fish and put it in her mouth.
The next second, her eyes lit up with a look of surprise on her face: "It's really delicious!"
"Elder brother, there are good things here. Come and try it!" The ponytail girl turned around and waved.
Without caring about the emotions of Dustin Rhys and Margaret, he directly called all his classmates over.
When everyone saw the delicious food on the table, their index fingers were full of excitement.
They had come all the way and were hungry for a long time. Now that they have so many delicious food in front of them, they are naturally very happy.
"You two, we've covered the food for this table. You can go eat somewhere else." The
hook-nosed man took out a gold bar from his arms and threw it on the table, looking like a rich man.
"Huh?"
Dustin Rhys raised his eyebrows and said with an idiot look: "Is there anything wrong with you guys? You just came here uninvited, and you have to drive us away. Do you really think you run this hotel? "
If these people had a better attitude, it wouldn't be a big deal to have a drink or a meal together. They would be able to make friends.
But these people looked so arrogant and didn't take them seriously at all, so he was naturally very unhappy.
"What? Too little? Okay, I'll add more."
The hook-nosed man was still arrogant. As he spoke, he took out another gold bar from his arms and threw it on the table. He said coldly: "Is that enough now?" "That's
it. This? I'm sending beggars away!"
Dustin Rhys waved his hand and flicked the two gold bars away without giving a single glance.
"Bold!"
"How bold!"
"That's unreasonable!"
Dustin Rhys's actions caused the Flying Snow Sect disciples to shout angrily.
As a well-known sect in the world, they are highly respected no matter where they go, and no one dares to go against them.
This kid in front of me is so shameless!
"Hey! What's your attitude?!"
The ponytail girl was furious, slammed the table, and shouted: "Do you know who we are? We are disciples of the Flying Snow Sect, one of the three sects in the southwest, looking at the entire world. , No one dares not to give us face!"
"Flying Snow Sect? So what?" Dustin Rhys had no expression on his face and drank to himself.
"How's it going? Huh! To tell you the truth, we are sure to eat the food on today's table. If you know what's going on, pick up the gold bars and get out. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" the girl with the ponytail threatened sternly.
"Really? How can you be so rude?" Dustin Rhys sneered.
He has seen many arrogant and domineering people.
But this was the first time that they had to fight over a meal.
"energyang!"
The girl with the ponytail didn't waste any time. She pulled out her sword and threatened sternly: "I'll give you one more chance. Get out of here right now, or I'll stab a few holes in your body!" "I advise you to be the best
. Put the sword away, because if you do it, I won't show mercy to you, and you might be beaten into a pig's head." Dustin Rhys said seriously.
"You're looking for death!"
Hearing this, the girl with the ponytail finally couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly raised her sword and stabbed Dustin Rhys.
This sword is so fast and accurate that ordinary warriors may not be able to block it.
However, Dustin Rhys remained motionless, did not dodge or dodge, he picked up the wine glass with one hand, raised his head and drank.
The other hand easily clamped the blade of the sword as it struck.
The whole process was very smooth and done in one go, as if it had been rehearsed beforehand.
And from beginning to end, Dustin Rhys didn't look directly at the ponytail girl.
"Huh?"
The sudden change made the girl with the ponytail stunned for a moment.
She really didn't expect that her full blow would be caught by Dustin Rhys with two fingers.
How can it be? !
Although she is not outstanding in the sect, she is definitely not something ordinary warriors can compete with.
The person in front of her is about the same age as her. Normally, she should be able to win easily as she comes from a famous family. Why is she being suppressed now?
Where does this guy come from?
"With this little strength, you still dare to show off your power? It seems that you have never experienced a beating from society." Dustin Rhys sneered.
How can a warrior with inner strength who has not even broken through the innate ability have the courage to be so arrogant?
Chapter 1919:
"That's too much!"
After being ridiculed by Dustin Rhys, the ponytail girl became even more angry.
She could no longer care about the difference in strength between the two sides, and suddenly mobilized her inner energy to thrust forward with even greater strength.
However, no matter how hard she tried, the sword in her hand was still unable to move forward.
Dustin Rhys's fingers were like iron pliers, tightly clamping the sword's edge.
"You don't overestimate your capabilities!"
Dustin Rhys snorted coldly and exerted force on his fingers.
With a "clang" sound, the ponytail girl's long sword broke directly, and a strong counter-shock force flew it two or three meters away, and then fell to the ground. Her face was distorted in pain and her eyesight was dazzled.
"Big brother! He bullied me!"
Seeing that she couldn't beat him, the girl with the ponytail decisively began to ask for help from those around her.
"How brave! How dare you attack my little younger generation sister? I think you are tired of living!" The hook-nosed man was furious and suddenly drew his sword, intending to teach Dustin Rhys a lesson.
"Stop!"
At this time, a loud shout sounded at the door.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing red clothes and carrying a sword walked in with a group of people.
The man has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a burly physique, and a strong aura. He attracts everyone's attention as soon as he appears.
Even the previously arrogant and domineering man with a hooked nose frowned when he saw the other party.
"Jason, you Flying Snow Sect are so powerful. You are bullying others here in broad daylight. Do you really think you can cover the sky with just one hand?" the man in red shouted sternly.
"Mason! This person provokes our Flying Snow sect, I warn you not to meddle in other people's business!" Jason, a man with an aquiline nose, said with a stern face.
"Hmph! I can clearly see what happened just now. It's clearly you who bullied others. I, Mason, can't stand you arrogant and domineering people the most!" Mason, a man in red, shouted.
"So what if we were bullied? It's not your Golden Blade Sect's turn to take care of our Flying Snow Sect's affairs!" Jason said angrily.
"What if I have to take care of it?" Mason narrowed his eyes.
"If you really dare to meddle in other people's business, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Jason slowly raised his sword and pointed it at Mason from a distance, his face gloomy.
Seeing this scene, the Flying Snow Sect disciples drew their swords one after another to support their senior brother.
"Hmph! Should I take action? Who is afraid of whom?!"
Mason was not afraid at all, and he suddenly pulled out the knife from behind and pointed it at Jason.
The disciples of the Golden Sword Sect behind him all drew their swords and faced each other.
The two sides confront each other, and a war is about to break out.
"Damn it! You can't even eat in peace. If you want to fight, go out and fight. If you dare to fight here, be careful I will kill you!" At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded throughout the audience.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a man wearing a cloak and a straw hat sitting in the corner.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of our two major sects? Will you risk your life?!"
Jason turned around with his long sword and shouted angrily.
The Golden Blade Sect, like the Flying Snow Sect, is one of the three major sects in the southwest.
It was okay for Mason to challenge him, after all, the two sides were equally powerful.
What else pops up in front of me? How dare you scold yourself? It’s simply courting death!
"Arrogant!"
The straw hat man slammed the table.
A chopstick in front of him immediately bounced up and floated in the air.
Following the straw hat man's wave, the chopsticks shot out like bullets, carrying a powerful force and shooting toward Jason.
Its speed is so fast that ordinary people cannot react at all.
Jason's pupils shrank and he subconsciously raised his sword to block.
"Clank!"
The chopstick hit the sword hard, causing the sword to bend into a bow. The huge impact made Jason take more than ten steps back and almost fell to the ground.
For a moment, the hand holding the sword began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Senior Brother!"
Seeing this, the Flying Snow Sect disciples couldn't help but change their expressions.
No one expected that a mere chopstick could force their senior brother back.
How strong is the opponent?
At this moment, not only the disciples of the Flying Snow Sect were suppressed, but everyone in the Golden Blade Sect was also secretly frightened.
Although Jason's character is not very good, his strength is good. He is almost on par with their senior brother Mason.
It was really unexpected for such a master to be defeated in one fell swoop.
"Big brother! Are you okay?"
The girl with the ponytail ran forward with a worried look on her face.
"I'm fine."
Jason took a deep breath, suppressed the surging energy and blood in his body, and stared directly at the man in the straw hat: "May I ask who you are? Why are you trying to get in trouble with my Flying Snow sect?" "
My name is Brutus. I am nicknamed Desert Dragon!" Brutus, the man in the straw hat, spoke loudly.
"What? Desert Dragon Brutus?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.
The southwest region has a harsh environment, mostly consisting of desert wastelands. Although the number of people is small, the people's customs are strong.
Therefore, three sects and five powerful men were born.
The three sects are Flying Snow Sect, Golden Blade Sect, and Youlong Sect.
Among them, the Youlong Sect is the strongest, while the Flying Snow Sect and the Golden Sword Sect are even weaker.
As for the five powerful ones, they are second only to the three sects.
Their strength is almost the same as that of the sect leaders of the three sects. Although they rarely show up, no one dares to provoke them easily.
And Brutus, the desert dragon, is one of the five powerful men!
So after knowing Brutus's name, both Jason and Mason changed their expressions.
They knew very well that with Brutus's strength, the total number of people present would probably not be his opponent.
"It turns out to be Senior Linden. I have offended you a lot, please forgive me."
Jason immediately curbed his arrogance, became humble and powerful, and took the initiative to apologize.
After all, the man in front of him was as powerful as his master, so he would not dare to offend him unless absolutely necessary.
"Okay! Don't do this with me. I have to eat now and I hate being disturbed the most. If you want to eat, just eat. If you don't, then get out. If you dare to make noise again, don't blame me for being rude!" Brutus didn't show any concern at all! give face.
"I'm really sorry for disturbing the senior's meal. We'll leave now."
Jason dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. He bowed and decisively turned around and went out with the others.
But before leaving, he glared at Dustin Rhys fiercely, as if he wanted to settle the score with his wife.
Chapter 1920
Facing the threat in Jason’s eyes, Dustin Rhys didn’t take it seriously at all.
If someone hadn't stopped him just now, this guy would have been looking for teeth everywhere.
After driving away a few flies, Brutus continued to drink and eat meat.
Mason and the disciples of the Golden Blade Sect did not dare to make any loud noise anymore and found a seat nearby to sit down.
Margaret stood up and walked forward, clasped his fists at Mason, and said politely: "Everyone, thank you for rescuing the siege." "It's just a small effort, it's nothing."
Mason waved his hand and said carelessly. : "I hate those guys who bully the weak the most in my life. The purpose of our Golden Knife Clan is to draw our swords to help when there is injustice on the road!"
"The Golden Knife Clan is indeed well-deserved. Everyone in it is a chivalrous person. If you don't dislike them, You might as well share a table with us and have a few drinks together, I happen to have a few bottles of fine wine." Margaret took the initiative to invite.
"It's better to meet by chance than to invite, so I won't be polite."
Hearing that there was wine, Mason couldn't help but his eyes widened, and he immediately ordered several younger generations to put the two tables together.
"Uncle Wang, ask the cook to serve some more dishes and get a few more bottles of wine."
After sitting down, Margaret gave another instruction to the servant.
"Yes."
Servant Uncle Wang responded and left quickly.
In a short time, delicious wine and delicious food were served on the table.
Mason was not polite and took the lead in pouring a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's really a good wine!"
After drinking a glass of wine, Mason immediately showed an intoxicated expression, licked his mouth and tasted it: "This wine, if I guessed correctly, must have been aged for hundreds of years, right?" He asked himself that he had drunk countless drinks and tasted all kinds of wine
. It was a fine wine, but this was the first time he had tasted such a fragrant wine.
The fifty-year-old wine I drank from Master last time was not nearly as delicious as it is today.
"It seems that the hero is also a person who knows how to drink." Margaret smiled noncommittally.
It is a royal wine, and it is also a treasure. Naturally, ordinary people cannot drink it.
"What's wrong with being a hero? My name is Mason. If you think highly of me, just call me Mason!" Mason said boldly.
"Mason, my name is Margaret, and this is my friend, Dustin Rhys." Margaret briefly introduced.
"This brother has a temper that I like very much. Faced with the oppression of the Flying Snow Sect, he was not afraid of power and fought back. He can be called a hero. Come on, let me toast you!" Mason picked up the wine glass and raised it to Dustin Rhys
. Lift.
Looking at the entire southwest region, there are not many people who dare to challenge the Flying Snow Sect.
Regardless of the opponent's strength, at least his courage is not bad.
"Compared with Mason, I'm still a little behind." Dustin Rhys raised his glass in return.
"For those of us who practice martial arts, it is important that one has the same temperament and the two of you are destined to me. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just come to me and I will definitely help you!" Mason promised, patting his chest.
"Thank you so much, Mason."
