Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV-Chapter 98: Back To Town!

Rosella kept her assault cannon, and although Daisy had tended to her wounds, she took a huge blow, and the internal damage she suffered was pretty severe by this point.

Lucian looked back to check up on both girls, and when he saw that they had no trouble keeping up with him, he continued to move ahead, not saying a single word.

They were just some ignorant girls. There was no need to get too concerned.

Surprisingly though, Daisy's had an extremely poor water healing ability!

If the flowers in the greenhouse were taking risks, then what awaited them was withering after the storm.

At around six in the morning, a wilderness en route patrol car arrived at the scene.

Over twenty people had gathered at the pickup point, some bearing abundant yield while others hung by the threads of their lives.

These kinds of things had happened one too many times and were nothing unusual.

Lucian kept walking towards the group, unfazed, whereas Daisy and Rosella were on edge, still mortified by the recent violence.

"Frank, you guys..." Daisy's eyes were filled with disappointment.

She was addressing the companions who had come with her.

It was those three guys who had invited her to this trip, promising to look after and protect Daisy from their support class. They were planning to rescue the damsel in distress, whereby they would showoff their strengths. In the end, they had abandoned her and ran off on their own.

Now here they were, waiting for the car, with not the slightest speck of concern if Daisy and Lu Ming were still alive.

"Asshole! Cowardly pussies! You'll die horrible deaths!" Rosella shouted at the three guys.

Corella was shocked to see his companions getting the boot, but he quickly adjusted his expressions.

"Rosella, Daisy, I knew you guys would be alright!"

"You knew that we were alright? How would you know that? Why don't the three of you try getting chased by a beast general?!" Rosella spat.

Fear flashed in the boys' eyes, but that soon turned into anger.

"Aren't you fine now?" retorted an annoyed Grant.

Daisy looked incredulously at him. She could not believe that he actually had the nick to say that. "Aren't we supposed to be companions? You abandoned us, and now, you dare act as if you've done nothing wrong? So, you're that kind of people, huh?"

"What kind of people? Foolish bravery often leads to certain death, you idiot! We wouldn't bring a burden like you with us again!" Grant's nose flared.

Daisy was shaking from head to toe. This was such a big and unexpected blow.

Others standing around watched the group of youngsters' arguments, amused by the escalating situation.

How could these greenhorns understand the dangers and cruelty of the unmerciful wilderness?!

But when the term 'beast general' was mentioned, some of them looked surprised.

Coming face to face with a beast general was no joke!

"Burden?" Lucian finally spoke, his tone frosty as his glared at Grant. "If a water ability user is a burden, then I'm afraid that there would be no medical practitioners around to help you. If what you've said is uploaded to the internet, you'll be famous! You are unworthy of companions! Unworthy of joining any team! You may look like you're a warrior, but are you proud of the fact that you left the water ability user behind while you run for your life? Do you think that you had the right to do that? You don't even have the balls to own up to your mistakes, yet you want to be on the front line? You might as go back and look after the elderly! Of course, you can hide in the corner and bully the average people, and be some thug or something. The world is so big. I'm sure there are filthy places that can put up with the likes of you!"

Lucian threw words at the boy. His intention was not to reprimand but to put the three guys to shame and humiliate them.

When everyone else heard the speech, they exploded into laughter.

"Trash will always be trash! Making excuses for his lack of character!"

"From the looks of it, it's their first time out!"

"They are probably still students!"

"They came out here even though they knew that they were helpless, causing big trouble to themselves and others!"

"They don't even know the rules, and they think themselves infallible! This is new."

The people did not restrain themselves from speaking their minds. Every one of them was pretty strong, and naturally, had no reason to be afraid of Frank and his buddies.

Frank dared not cross the crowd either. But deep inside, his rage boiled under pressure and was spilling over like a volcano about to explode.

Grant was more impulsive than his friends, and he was shaking violently. As an ancient warrior who had spent a year training in school, he was toned and muscular, and at 190cm, he was a good head taller than Lucian.

He took a step forward towards Lucian as if taunting to initiate a fight.

Swoosh!

An arrow whizzed through the air, then stabbed the ground millimeters off Grant's feet.

"You want to die?" Grant looked at him with piercing eyes.

For a moment, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over Grant's boiling blood!

Having already exhausted all their weapons in the fight the night before, there were no bullets left in their guns. Then, amid the panic, Grant lost the only knife he had.

Right now, he dared not return the blows because Lucian's crossbow still had arrows in them.

"Just you wait!" Grant hissed. Frank looked terrified, whereas Corella concealed his fury within his eyes.

The three boys retreated, receiving scornful looks from the people around them. Soon, they were standing outside of the twenty people group.

Lucian and the girls, on the other hand, were surrounded from all corners. They seemed to have taken a great interest in Daisy, the ability user.

"If you want to come out to the wilderness again, then you should look for people like us. Don't get tricked by those people. It's too dangerous out here for you to just bet your life on anyone!"

"Why don't you join our mercenary team? We take good care of water ability users!"

"Our teams even provide better benefits!"

Most of those people were just teasing, most of it meaningless banter.

Ability users were the first professionals amongst the long-suffering human beings.

Even if they were not fully developed, they would not be joining these small mercenary teams. But instead train in academies to grow stronger.

The crowd also showed a lot of interest in Lucian and Rosella. But after asking them some questions, and finding out that one was Just a F rank talent and the other a gunner, their interest fizzled out as quickly is it lit up.

They were too young, and besides, small teams like theirs were not a charity; they did not need rookies on their side.

One of them, however, did not perform like a newbie.

Lucian could not care less for these people's opinions, and neither was he interested either. He merely kept a straight face and refused to answer their condescending questions.

Luckily for him, the cars soon arrived.

There were three of them, and each was well-equipped with powerful weapons, considering how dangerous it was to cruise the wilderness at dawn.

The cars were all packed full to the brim.

Squeezing with all those people, and having to put his belongings on the car roof, Lucian could not help but think to himself, "If I want to come out to the wilderness again, I would have to buy a combat vehicle!"

Unless he had a huge space receptacle, he might lose a car if he left it out in the wilderness.

But only the nouveau riche have the capacity for luxuries like that!

Lucian glanced at the weak and inadequate Rosella.

Of course, Frank, having been ostracized by the group, did not get on the same car.

After half an hour, he alighted the vehicle at the wilderness terminal, walked up to an ordinary car, opened the back door, and entered. By the time Rosella and Daisy alighted, Lucian was nowhere to be seen.

"What in the world? He just left like that? I was going to treat him to a meal?!" Rosella complained, arms crossed.

"We will run into him soon enough!" Daisy said softly, hurt by the fact that they were just nobodies in Lucian's eyes.

Lucian was utterly clueless as to what the girls were thinking. They had only met each other by chance, and he risked his life saving them—already an act of kindness in itself. There was no need for him to watch over the rookies like a nanny.

Lucian got out of the car. When he saw the crowd hurrying about, he suddenly stopped walking.

He was at a loss, not knowing where he should be going.

Where he was previously staying, at the apartment Mayor Grant collected for him, he couldn't stay there any long as it wasn't safe.

Remembering the two assassins that had tried to kill him, Lucian's face turned cold and he clenched his fist.

Before he leave for the academy entrance exam, he would deal with the problems called Grant, Venessa and Chris.

Clenching his fist, he slowly released it before heading towards a nearby hotel. With the Heaven Cloaking Technique, no one was able to recognize him in the town he had lived all his life even with out masking his face.

He walked a few kilometers before seeing a small motel nearby. He then collected a room and then slept off in a deep sleep.
