Chapter 501 - Tomas Conn
"I am Mayor of Biaska Town, Tomas Conn," Mayor Tomas started with a formal introduction while maintaining a respectful stance. He was actually telling Tang Shaoyang and the two girls that he was a Mayor of the town, you should greet me properly.
"Hello, my name is Tang, and I am a new Hunter in the town." Tang Shaoyang made it short as the two girls remained silent, "I heard you want to speak with me, I wonder what Mayor Tomas wanted to speak with me?" He was not someone that liked pleasantries. He immediately asked the burly Mayor his purpose for meeting him.
"I thought we were going to have breakfast together before we get to talk with the main topic, but since you want me to be direct, then I will be direct," Mayor Tomas then looked toward the black cat on Tang Shaoyang\'s shoulder and looked toward the Dark Tremor beastmen at the corner of the room, "I would like to buy them from you, Tang. Name the price for the Adolescent Dark Predator and the two Dark Tremor Beastmen."
Just as he and Ashley predicted, the Mayor was aiming for them. And again, Tang Shaoyang never planned to sell them to anyone, "I am sorry, Mayor Tomas. I don\'t have a plan to sell them as I have my use for them."
He followed Ashley\'s advice, giving the Mayor some face. He tried to reject the Mayor politely. This was the best he could do for the Mayor\'s face.
Mayor Tomas squinted his eyes dangerously at Tang Shaoyang, "Tang, just accept my offer and name the price. I don\'t accept the refusal!" Tomas raised his tone and said it with more force.
At this point, it was clear that the Mayor did not accept a \'no\' answer. He wanted to buy it and Tang Shaoyang had to sell it to him. Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh and glanced at Ashley, "I told you right, even I am not looking for trouble, people would come at me and get me into trouble. This is the second time."
He did not lower his voice so Mayor Tomas heard that very clearly. The Mayor\'s face turned ugly and he narrowed his eyes dangerously, "I am being polite by offering money to buy your pets, but since you don\'t appreciate me then I have no choice to take action so the other new hunters know who\'s the boss in this city!"
"Tang! You are charged for the attempted murder of the Mayor of Biaska Town. You will be imprisoned in the dungeon for a month and your women will be sold into the brothel and the town will confiscate your belongings." Mayor Tomas suddenly grinned at Tang Shaoyang.
"Wahoo, this is will be the first time my fight against an Epic, I guess." Tang Shaoyang grinned as well. He was not afraid in the slightest against this Mayor. He stood up from the table and cracked his finger. If the opposite part was threatening him with his words, he would return them with his fist.
"Little guy, you will have…" Tang Shaoyang was about to offer the cat the Mayor\'s corpse, but he stopped midway. An Epic\'s body was too precious to be eaten by the cat, "Nevermind, that is a bad idea."
This time, it was Mayor Tomas\' turn to be flabbergasted. He looked at Tang Shaoyang as he was a crazy lad. He expected the opposite party to be afraid of him since he was a Mayor. Offending him was the same as offending the whole town since the town\'s force was under his command yet this man showed no fear.
"Epic? He\'s not even an Epic, or else he will not be the Mayor of this small town. There would be many forces are willing to take him if he\'s an Epic, why would he stay in this remote town?" Ashley shook her head at Tang Shaoyang\'s ridiculous assumption.
"There are over a hundred Epics, but the Mayor of this town is not one!" Ashley looked toward Tomas Conn. The latter was even more bewildered when he heard the conversation. When the topic had entered the Epic, Tomas Conn found something strange. They were talking about an Epic as if it was nothing in their mouth.
\'Is the man an Epic?\' Tomas Conn came up with this ridiculous assumption and he met with the girl\'s gaze. He could feel the frost aura slowed reached his feet and without him realized it, the thing around him started to freeze, "Listen to me, Mayor Tomas! We will be staying here for a week, and we don\'t want the bloodshed to happen within the town so please, don\'t bother us, okay?"
He was even more shocked when he felt the strong aura from the girl. He thought the girl was the man\'s servant but he was wrong. The woman was someone with Elemental Power. That meant the woman was a knight who graduated from the Lionax Academy.
Tomas Conn stood up and spat out, "I will make sure you guys pay this humiliation later. Especially you!" The Mayor looked at Ashley. Tang Shaoyang was about to stand and fight the Mayor, but the girl put her hand on his shoulder, "Let him leave, we are not going to antagonize the whole town from killing the Mayor. He is a Mayor, not just a mere Captain Guard."
"Woman, you are too naive," Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "We have antagonized him by not selling him my pets, you are just giving a chance to gather his people to fight us…" He paused for a moment, "That\'s actually not a bad idea."
At this moment, the door was knocked and the same male attendant entered the room. The male attendant was surprised that Mayor Tomas was no longer in his seat. He then looked at the three and approached them, "Sir, I have brought the Steel-Horn Hog, where should I put them?"
"You can put them in the corner of the room!" He pointed at the corner of the room where Aki and Nol were standing, "Give it to them!"
The male attendant nodded and once again looked toward the empty seat. He wanted to ask where the Mayor was, but he was hesitating. Selena let out a chuckle, "If you want to know where the Mayor is, he just returned."
"Ah!?" The male attendant gasped slightly before he let out a relieved sigh. He wondered why the Dark Predator and the Dark Tremor Beastmen were still here. But he did not linger around as he led more attendants to the room, bringing the Steel-horned Hog. The beast was too big that it had to be cut into many parts to bring it into the room.
"You can eat that, little glutton!" Tang Shaoyang pushed the black cat from his shoulder. But his hand touched empty air, "Share the food with Aki and Nol!" After saying that, he looked toward the male attendant, "What about our breakfast? I thought we will be given a free breakfast? Should we order it first?"
Only then the male attendant realized that the table was empty. He paled and hastily bowed his head toward Tang Shaoyang, "Wait a minute, sir. I will immediately check what happened with the kitchen!" Then the male attendant ran out.
"Can\'t you solve the issue by talking?" Ashley could not help but ask the man. She realized the man preferred to fight than talking when it came to solving a conflict.
"First, it was the meeting with my father. If you summon my Great-Grandmother, you can talk your way out with him. Second, the way you solve the Captain Guard, scaring him should be enough. Third, the way you treat the Mayor. You wanted to fight him instead of talking with him."
"You are truly naive, girl," Tang Shaoyang shook his head again, "If I show your father his grandmother, what do you think he will do? He will kill me! It will give him more reasons to justify his action to kill me. He thought that by killing me, he would free his Grandmother\'s spirit. On top of that, having your Great-Grandmother spirit contracted to an unknown person like me is the same as a humiliation to him and Ambrose Family. How can you don\'t understand that?"
"Also, violence is proved to be faster to solve the conflict than talking like you said. You will know very soon!" Right after Tang Shaoyang said that the door blasted open as Mayor Tomas returned with a grand entrance. He was not alone this time, four people followed him.
"Tang! You are arrested for the attempted murder of Mayor Tomas. You are also charged with illegal smuggling for bringing the Epic beastmen and the Dark Predator into the town! Surrender or else…" Mayor Tomas did not finish his words as Tang Shaoyang stood up from his chair, "Or else what? Do you want to fight me. Good, come entertain me. My body is quite stiff, let\'s have a warm-up before exploring the Gigante Forest!"
After saying that he looked to Ashley, "See! You are too naive if your words could solve the issue, girl. People like him needed to be taught or make him an example to others so no one would mess with you again."
