Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 321: The Bounty King Family’s Hospitality

Ryukyu Continent.

"Diki, you did a great job."

After "that incident", Teach chose to accept the throne of the Layton family to hone his own strength. Although Teach had fought a desperate battle with his grandfather Hawke Layton in the "field", he was unable to fully exert his maximum effect in the last-place team.

Only through the tempering of life and death can you stop yourself from crying when necessary!

The two killer moves, "Wuxiang Void Slash" and "Thousand Strikes in an Instant", have been practiced to the maximum level by Di Qi. Even without the help of the Barbary Golden Lion, he can carry the responsibility alone!

In this bounty family mission, Di Qi single-handedly broke the record for the fastest mission completion, becoming a figure that everyone admires.

"No, I'm not even close."

Diqi knew very well that at the same time, his companions must be secretly rolling up their sleeves! If he was still the shortest among them when they reunited in five years, then the nickname "Bean Boy" would be completely unremovable!

"Don't be so modest. Your sister-in-law and I are watching you. Soon, you can replace me."

"What? Big Brother, you want to retire too?"

The reason why Diqi was able to gain a foothold temporarily, in addition to the title of the bounty king Leighton family, was also due to the silent support of Yuguka behind him. Otherwise... he would definitely be gossiped about by his brothers and sisters when he came back this time, and he would be lucky if he was not spitted to death by everyone.

"Yes……"

Facing his younger brother, Yuguka finally showed his true feelings.

"Do you remember what happened before Saint Germain died? I have the blood of the Sharna family, and I inherited the Sharna family's monster, the Phantom Fox. Now that the main culprit has been eliminated, you have grown to a point where I can rest assured. It's time for your sister-in-law and I to enjoy our retirement..."

"Absolutely not, big brother!"

Di Qi shook his head vigorously. He thought about why he had gone to the Cross Base and started as a small Monster Master candidate. Why not just to break free from the shackles? Now that he had surrendered, the shackles that had bound him at the Cross Base would instantly disappear without a trace.

"I know this might be hard for you to accept right away. But don't worry! We can take it slow."

Seeing that the foreplay was almost over, Yuguka finally got down to business:

"You've been doing well recently. Many people have been asking for you by name. This time, too, it's a big shot asking for your help. I think his name is Willy Plaka or something..."

"That Shuoyue guy..."

Di Qi muttered inwardly, "What on earth is he up to? He's actually reduced to the point where he needs our Layton family to intervene?"

Although he thought so, Diqi knew that as the son of "the greatest diplomat of the Obili Empire in history", Shuoyue had never been stingy with Luke in this regard.

"Okay, big brother, I'll take this job."

.

"Augus..."

Di Qi didn't understand why the Demon City he had visited before would cause Shuo Yue so much trouble.

When Di Qi saw Shuo Yue again, it was in Lebaiju.

Di Qi was a very principled person, and would never engage in behavior like "taking bribes," which was understandable but shouldn't be imitated—but if the person was Shuoyue, that was another matter. Shuoyue's treat was a treat, so why not refuse it?

"You really don't treat me as an outsider."

In Shuoyue's opinion, he was still not as tall as Diqi, which made him feel a little disappointed.

"It's natural."

Di Qi looked down at Shuo Yue from above. "You should know that Monster Masters are now forbidden from meeting privately. You trust me so much, I can't let you down."

Shuoyue knew that Diqi was making fun of him. He thought about how much effort he had put in to protect the demon Kuding, but it was worth it.

"Okay, your... that, are you okay?"

Shuoyue lowered his voice and said, "It's the monster plague that appeared recently. It's said that the mortality rate is as high as 98%. I don't dare to release it anymore."

"Barbari is fine, you don't have to worry about that. Tell me, what mission do you want to entrust?"

"It's not a big deal..."

Shuoyue finally let go of his pride, because he had no choice but to do so.

"You should know Augustus. My father disappeared in Augustus."

Shuoyue said, "Actually, he's been missing for quite some time! I heard things have been a bit turbulent in Augustus lately, so I'd like to ask you to bring my father back."

"Logically, I shouldn't be picky about my employer's assignments—but I still want to ask, why don't you ask Lion Hall and the others to help?"

Hearing this, Shuoyue felt very conflicted.

"Nonsense, why don't you hang out with your bunch of lowlifes? Every character has their own life."

Despite this, Shuoyue still talked about the recent situation of each elite team:

"The Thirteenth Princess and your man have returned to Shadow King Village, and they're no longer on speaking terms. Albus has returned to Huishou Hill, and I heard he's about to replace his aunt Siam as the new leader of the Wind Clan. Lion Hall... I don't know what he's doing, but with Chairman Lion Yao here, he'll definitely be doing well."

What Shuoyue said sounded quite true, but Diqi was not obsessed with it now.

"Okay, I'll take it. Do you want to come with me?"

"No... let's forget about that."

Shuoyue said tremblingly, "Things are different now, Diqi. You have the Layton family by your side. I'm no match for you. Besides, the current demon Kuding is not as high-level as your Barbary Golden Lion... Anyway, I'm leaving it to you."

Augustus...

Diqi thought he had to ask Yuguka about Augustus first. After all, no one knew what had happened to Augustus during this period of time.

"Then I'll take care of everything."

Shuoyue looked pitiful. "It wasn't until after 'that incident' that I realized that compared to you, I was the least important one. You are all the elites among the elites, and I'm the only one who keeps worrying about meaningless wins and losses..."

"Alright, alright, that's cheesy to me."

After getting a general idea, Di Qi decided not to bother with Shuo Yue anymore.

"I've been to Augustus before, and I still have the route in my head. As for the intelligence... I might as well contact Big Brother and ask him on the way. As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, and even a second of delay could lead to a slight change..."

After saying that, Di Qi threw the chopsticks directly onto the table and soon disappeared.

"This kid..."

Shuoyue endured the pain and called the waiter to pack up the food to take away.

Unexpectedly, the waiter's words were beyond Shuoyue's expectations:

"The little guest you just dined with has already paid for your meal."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Shuoyue couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot, "As expected of Le Baiju, they are truly honest and trustworthy!"
