Towards Eternity
Ch 439's. Hey Mi
A few years ago, it was exactly when Pang Baicha was assigned by the leader of the Dragon Swordsman Group to carry out a mission around the Hundan City region.
The mission given to him was a mission to rob someone who became the target of the leader of their Dragon Swordsman Group. Just like when he and his partner were doing a heist in Jian Qiang's shop, this mission had to be done clandestinely and should not be caught.
This was because the person he and his partner had to rob was one of the people who always used the escort services of their Dragon Swordsman Group. But unfortunately their leader is a greedy person, so the trust given to him was easily destroyed.
Long story short, Pang Baicha and his colleagues successfully robbed the goods targeted by their leader, and completed the mission given to them smoothly. To avoid suspicion from his victims, Pang Baicha and his colleagues decided to separate and return to Yulong City at different times.
The first to return home was a colleague from Pang Baicha. For the sake of perfecting their plan, his partner chose to go through a path that people rarely pass. It was a road that was arguably dangerous, yet at its fastest, that was in the inner part of the Mist Forest. Yes, it was the same path that the Weng Lou group and the Weng Ancestral Family group went through.
The road is no longer the main road through the Fog Forest. About a kilometer from the road, a much wider and safer road was built by the Middle Kingdom itself to reduce the crime that harmed the merchants. It's just that this path is indeed only a few who know it because people have been accustomed to passing the old path that time.
But still, for the lay people, the newly created route by the Middle Region Kingdom was the best choice. Not only was it spared from the bandits who were always lurking, the route was also free from wild beasts, because the surrounding had been made a guardrail, and every few hundred meters, every, there's a post where there's a guard in charge of watching around.
A week later, it was Pang Baicha's turn to go home. Just like his partner, he chose to go through a path that people rarely pass. As the person who came home last, the goods were handed over to him.
Previously, he and his colleagues had calculated that the most likely to be intercepted from them was the first person to return home, therefore their loot was handed over to Pang Baicha. But unfortunately their calculations this time were wrong.
The Thief Serpent Group that was in Hundan City, unbeknownst to Pang Baicha and his colleagues, also targeted the same person to be robbed. Unfortunately, the group that first moved was the group of Pang Baicha, thus making the Thief Snake Group that time could do nothing but wait for the arrival of their boss, Gouwang Zie, because their strength was not at all comparable to that of Pang Baicha and his comrades.
Unfortunately, Gouwang Zie arrived in Hundan City just at the time of Pang Baicha's turn to return to Yulong City, the Western Region of Black Sand Island. The strength of the two was very much adrift at that time, and Pang Baicha could only escape from it But due to the difference in strength between the two, he was captured, too, and the goods from the robbery of Pang Baicha and his colleagues were taken by them.
Not only that, all Pang Baicha's belongings were stripped unceremoniously, leaving only his pants alone, while his clothes were also taken by them.
After being robbed, Pang Baicha was taken to the Mist Forest and tied up in one of the trees. He was not directly killed because he came from a much stronger and larger group compared to the Thief Snake Group belonging to Gouwang Zie. If one member of the Dragon Swordsman Group finds himself in a lifeless condition, it will definitely be investigated and the Thief Snake Group will be confirmed to be the prime suspect easily.
Pang Baicha was left tied up in the middle of the Mist Forest in battered condition. He no longer had the energy to escape. A few hours after she was tied up, a woman wearing a head covering found herself and then helped untie her.
He finally survived after being helped out of the Mist Forest by the woman. After successfully exiting, Pang Baicha did not just leave because the condition was still very weak. The head-covering woman came back to her aid, and took care of her. A week and a half later he finally fully recovered and Pang Baicha said goodbye to the woman.
The woman introduced herself as Hei Mi, so during the one and a half weeks with her and being cared for by her, Pang Baicha became a little familiar and called the woman with Mi'er, the woman did not seem to agree to be called that.
Although he was treated for a week and a half, Hei Mi never showed her whole face to Pang Baicha, and Pang Baicha himself did not question it. If he could not remember his face, then he would remember his voice and aura, that was what Pang Baicha did.
And the decision that he did turned out to be sweet, he managed to meet again with the woman who cared for him, Hei Mi who was none other than the same woman who became a subordinate of Gouwang Zie.
The woman tied by Pang Baicha asked in a trembling voice and tried to shift her gaze.
Pang Baicha who saw that also smiled a little, then pulled the woman's body towards him until it was right in front of him.
"You don't have to lie to me, Mi'er. I've memorized your voice and aura. Even if you hide your face, I will recognize you" said Pang Baicha.
Hei Mi was speechless and speechless. He lowered his face and bit his lower lip.
"When I told you not to deal with Gouwang Zie again.but instead you came again and looked for him," Hei Mi muttered.
"Heh, the old me is different from the current one. I won't lose again against him like last time."
"That's not what I mean!! You don't know anything about the person who supported him until now!! You think he dared to steal without fear of getting caught in the slightest because of what?! It's because he has people behind him that you can't even imagine!!"
Suddenly Hei Mi shouted in front of Pang Baicha's face, and made Pang Baicha's eyebrows lift up. She did not expect this woman could still yell at him.
"Whatchu mean? Didn't he dare to steal because of his speed?" ask Pang Baicha.
Hei Mi immediately shook her head.
"Hahahaha. There was no need to bother thinking about the person standing behind him. We can just take Gouwang Zie to the inn. No one would dare to come and do as they please if we were there, because somehow, the innkeeper would protect us." Jian Qiang who heard the conversation of the two immediately cut in.
Pang Baicha nodded at hearing that. He agreed to that. He is very well aware of how strong the owners of the inn where they stay. Although he had yet to see his full strength, he was confident that the innkeeper was a very strong person.
"As you can hear, we don't care about the person you're referring to. If he's gonna come and look for us, I don't care. Even if that person wants to kill me, I don't care, because I'm sure that I will survive" said Pang Baicha who then walked along with Jian Qiang towards their inn.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the inn, where it was seen that the people who were members of the Thief Snake Group who had previously been suppressed eh Jian Qiang and Pang Baicha were sitting by the roadside with a faint face.
"Hey, you guys have been a long time. I was worried that the woman wouldn't come back and pay the restitution for making damage around my inn."
From behind Jian Qiang and Pang Baicha, the figure of the innkeeper appeared while smiling at the two of them.
Jian Qiang shuddered in horror when he heard his voice. He had not felt his existence before. His choice to trust the strength of this innkeeper seemed to be correct.
