Keep Flirting and Don't Get Killed

"My king! This guy is talking nonsense! I have been careful to eliminate footprints along the way, and I didn't find anyone following me after several counter-reconnaissances... My king! Believe me! This, this guy couldn't have possibly followed me from Ella Village!!"

Fox argued vigorously and even stood up in his excitement.

"Fox~ Don't be so excited, sit down, sit down."

Wolf seemed very relaxed. As he stared at Fox's red face with interest, he had already made up his mind.

"My king! You have to believe me! I really didn't do anything to let you down!!"

Fox knew Wolf's character. When he saw that his argument was ineffective, he knelt down in a hurry.

"Hey, don't be like this, Fox, we are all brothers, what are you doing doing this?"

Wolf said this, but there was no intention of moving, much less of helping Fox up. He sat there pretending to think for a while, then leaned over and looked Fox in the eyes. "How about this, you take two people to Luka Village now and finish the job there. Do it well, and everyone will believe in your ability again."

Hearing Wolf say this, Fox's face turned pale instantly. He bit his lip hard to prevent himself from losing control of his emotions. The bitten lip oozed blood, staining his entire chin red.

But even so, Wolf acted as if he didn't see it. He clapped his hands and asked someone to 'escort' Fox to Luka Village. After Fox left, he turned his eyes back to the boy who called himself 'Banning'.

"You, kid. You are good at tracking. You want to join our bandit group, right?" Wolf asked with a smile.

Banning acted like a silly boy who thought his chance had finally come. He knelt and nodded vigorously, his eyes bright with eagerness.

"Alright, it just so happens that this operation lacks a candidate for sacrifice. I think you'll do just fine, hahaha!!!" 

Banning was about to say "Thank you, King", but when he heard the word "sacrifice", he froze and stood there in a daze. His deflated appearance was quite comical and made Wolf and the bandits laugh for a long time. Everyone knew that "sacrifice" was just a fancy name, and Wolf's real intention was to kill this cocky brat.

"Come on! Take this kid away and lock him up! If he runs away, I will use you as a sacrifice instead!"

Humph, if you want to play dirty, no one can play better than me. Wolf was feeling smug in his heart.

… 

Fox, the deputy leader of the Scarlet Cloud Bandits Group, was now 'accompanied' by two bandit brothers to Luka Village to complete the final cleanup.

On the surface, it was called 'escort', but Fox knew that this was actually 'surveillance', which proved that the boss no longer trusted him.

Even before today, Fox had already felt that Wolf was suspicious of him, and this young man who appeared out of nowhere today was actually just the last straw. In other words, this young man was simply an actor arranged by Wolf to give him the final blow.

Alas, the brotherhood of so many years is gone...

Fortunately... we haven't fallen out completely yet... but... Mary... Mary... I'm afraid I'll never see you again.

Fox's current mood was like a dying person who had luckily saved his life but paid the price of being castrated—living was boring but it was a pity to die.

Fox had never expected the situation to develop like this.

About a year ago, the Scarlet Cloud Bandits often operated in the areas of ​​Luka Village and Ella Village. At that time, their team size was not large enough to attack a village, and they basically lived by robbing passers-by and small caravans. During the usual daily activities, Fox met Mary who was out picking herbs by chance.

Mary was a married woman in Ella Village, but her relationship with her husband was very bad, so Fox took advantage of the opportunity and quickly became familiar with her. Later, under Fox's coercion, Mary reluctantly had sex with him. 

A thing like cheating, since it happened once, would happen again countless times. After a while, following such long-term encounters, Fox unknowingly fell in love with Mary, so he decided to kill her husband and marry her.

Unfortunately, the cavalry of Gristy Town was about to come to the Ella Forest to clean up the bandits. Under the order of the leader Wolf, the Scarlet Cloud Bandits collectively fled and disappeared for a year. When they returned to the Ella Forest last month, Fox was shocked to find that Mary actually had a new lover!

Fox never thought that he, who had cheated on others, could also be cheated on. He was the last one, so how could there be someone after him? So whose woman was Mary now?

Fox was furious and planned to kill all these adulterers, but the bandits were about to do something big (rob Luka Village), so he had no choice but to postpone the plan. However, when the matter in Luka Village was basically over, Fox changed his mind. He actually still liked Mary, and so he decided to just kill her husband and the lover named Joseph.

Then he began to meet Mary in Ella Village under the pretext of various reconnaissance operations and prepared to assassinate the two men without telling her.

However, God teased Fox again. After getting a taste, their king Wolf actually wanted to rob Ella Village this time! He also ordered that no one should act on their own before the formal attack, otherwise they would be regarded as leaking secrets and collaborating with the enemy and killed without mercy.

Fox knew the fierce tempers of his brothers, and Wolf was also a lecher. If the Scarlet Cloud Bandits attacked Ella Village, Mary might become the king's woman. At that time, Fox would wear three green hats on his head.

In desperation, Fox had to risk being suspected by the king, and he tried to find ways to sneak out and persuade Mary to go to the town for refuge in advance, but Mary didn't believe Fox at all. Not only did she think Fox was lying to her, but she also asked him to leave the gang because she didn't like a bandit to be her husband.

Fox was really going crazy.

As time passed, the three-day scouting of Ella Village by the Scarlet Cloud Bandits was about to end. Fox volunteered to do the last investigation for the first time. He knew that this would inevitably make Wolf suspicious, but this was his last chance.

According to Fox's ability, he should have completed the reconnaissance and returned to the bandit group's hideout before dawn, but two unexpected things happened.

The first thing was good news. Mary's lover Joseph died unexpectedly.

The second thing was bad news. Ella Village inexplicably held a barbecue party, which caused Fox to waste two or three hours more than originally planned to cover up. What's worse, he neither convinced Mary nor did he sleep with her. In the end, he had to return with regret, hoping to take Mary away quietly during the chaos of the robbery.

After Fox returned to the hideout, King Wolf immediately called him to have a 'chat' and made an exception to let him sit side by side with him, which terrified Fox. Later, everyone knew what happened after the young boy who came to join them appeared.

… 

Fox was miserable, but the boy didn't get a good end either.

Deep in the cave, Jiang Ran was tied up like a bundle of rags and thrown on the ground. Not to mention that in his mind, there was a stupid loli who was mocking him.

Silly Ni: (Jiang Ran, you are such a fool! I told you not to abandon the light and join the dark! See what you did?! Now wait to be chopped off and sacrificed to the gods! Jiang Ran, you're such an arrogant fool!)
