The Mage of Eternity

Chapter 101 Freeloading?

"Sigh! I hope he can return safely."

An Kai sat on the chair and spoke slowly as if he was worried about the safety of Hanks and the others.

In response to his actions, Mason's mouth twitched slightly. He did not make a sound, which was his response.

As an accomplice in tricking Hanks into going to the Seven Kingdoms to resume trade, Mason's understanding of An Kai changed again.

When he had a conflict with An Kai in the desert, Mason thought that he was a real desert barbarian.

After that, he was subdued by An Kai. When he saw An Kai teach Wayne magic knowledge, he thought An Kai was a knowledgeable old scholar and was forced to live in the desert.

After that, on the way to Chaos City, An Kai suggested that Wayne cancel the bounty on Hanks in the Kingdom of Shaq.

After listening to An Kai's explanation of his relationship with Hanks, Mason thought that An Kai was a loyal person.

At this moment, Mason stood in the hall and saw An Kai sighing about Hanks' trip to the Seven Kingdoms.

He suddenly understood that An Kai had only thought of himself from the beginning. Everything he did was for himself.

In order to get a stage 5 assassin like him to be his subordinate, he could endure his impatience and take His Highness Wayne as his student.

Hanks' arrest warrant was removed, and he was forced to return to the Seven Kingdoms to resume his business due to the fact that An Kai had 'saved' him.

In the end, he had Mason trick Hanks so that Hanks would willingly go to the Seven Kingdoms.

Mason could foresee that even if this team could return, they would suffer heavy losses.

But by then, they must have already contacted some travel merchant teams.

This also achieved An Kai's goal.

Outside the chaos city, trade resumed, and An Kai could be at ease as the underground king, collecting high taxes.

Each of them had a different persona. From this, it could be seen that An Kai was not only powerful, but his thoughts were also terrifying. Very meticulous!

Stage 5 Assassin Mason had seen countless people in his life.

However, there were not many people like An Kai who had a clear goal and would do anything to achieve it.

Even An Kai's use and indifference to others reminded him of the king of Shaq when he was young.

He was equally cold and used the people around him by hook or by crook. Yet, he was still able to occupy a righteous position and make the people around him work for him willingly.

"This is too terrifying!"

Mason kept imagining things, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Even when An Kai waved his hand to signal him to leave, Mason still had a solemn expression on his face. When he looked at An Kai, his gaze became a little more serious. Be careful.

Actually...

Mason's imagination wasn't completely wrong, but it was basically half wrong.

Wayne was the person An Kai really wanted, and Mason was the bonus.

An Kai had no choice but to send Hanks to the Seven Kingdoms. After all, his resources were depleting rapidly. After much consideration, only Hanks, a former spy of the Seven Kingdoms, was qualified to go to the Seven Kingdoms.

In addition, Hanks was old and might die one day, so An Kai urgently needed a new exchange route for gold coins and magic stones.

In addition, about getting Wayne to cancel the arrest warrant for Hanks...

When An Kai brought this up, he didn't have any other thoughts. He just remembered that Hanks was still wanted by the Kingdom of Shaq, and his lackey was the Crown Prince of Shaq.

It was just a casual mention in their conversation.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

An Kai frowned as he watched Mason leave. He could clearly see that the expression that this icy-faced man had when he left was a little off.

Level 23's [Meditation] made An Kai very sensitive to the changes in the expressions of others.

He could see even the slightest change in expression.

How would An Kai know that some of his actions had already been imagined by Mason into a meticulous and malicious plan?

However, if An Kai knew what Malcolm was thinking, he would not deny it.

In this desert, An Kai had always believed in one principle. Only benefits could become long-term partners.

He had a few people by his side, but in the end, the only one left was Hanks.

In the end, it was because An Kai and Hanks had enough common interests. The two of them had established enough trust through cooperation and exchange of interests.

This included this trip to the seven kingdoms. In order to make Hanks willing to go, An Kai offered him 10 percent of the taxes in the future.

10 percent didn't sound like much.

However, if it was 100,000 gold coins or even 10% of a million gold coins, this profit would be quite considerable for Hanks.

Right now, the seven countries around the desert were in a state of internal strife. In the desert, the orcs and inner chaos city were locked in a fierce battle.

The other major force, the undead town, did not accept living people. Therefore, in the desert and the surrounding seven countries, only the Outer Chaos City where Ankai was located was the true " paradise "!

There was no war and no civil strife.

As long as they could solve the problem of food and restore trade, it was foreseeable that in this war-torn environment, they would be able to survive.

The outer chaos city would become the "holy land" pursued by many people.

At that time, An Kai would have the final say on how much tax he wanted to collect.
