Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Luo Xiu touched a black ring on his hand, a gift from his teacher.

As long as he is in Kanriel, once the ring is activated, Tata will immediately appear and help him deal with any troubles he cannot handle.

Luo Xiu decided to take this opportunity to get rid of this troublesome person hiding in the shadows.

But we must not alert them; we must proceed slowly and deliberately.

In the stands, the man walked up to the defeated woman, raised his fist, and on the back of his hand, a clear number appeared: 547.

As the numbers appeared on the back of his hand, a number also appeared on the woman's forehead: 539.

Soon, with a crisp sound, the numbers on the woman's forehead shattered and recombine, becoming 547.

The number on the back of the man's hand has changed to 539, which is the same as the woman's.

The man nodded in satisfaction, looked around, jumped off the stands, and strode away.

Chapter 98 Is it you?

As the duel ended, the vendors scattered and returned to the street where they had started, beginning a new round of stall operations.

The vendor next to Luo Xiu was also preparing to leave.

Before leaving, he asked Luo Xiu:

"Hey kid, what's your name?"

"White."

Luo Xiu answered truthfully.

"White?"

The vendor looked at Luo Xiu suspiciously and shook his head:

"Don't be silly and give your real name when you meet someone in the future, or you might fall into a trap."

After saying that, the vendor left.

Luo Xiu was left standing there, completely bewildered.

How did he know that was my real name? No, that's not my real name either.

After pondering for a moment without reaching a conclusion, Luo Xiu put the matter out of his mind, told Tassanya to wait for him where she was, and walked alone in the direction where the man who had won the duel had left.

Luo Xiu originally just wanted to see where the man lived so that Miler could keep a closer eye out during her patrols.

But halfway there, things started to go wrong.

Although the man's movements did not change at all, and Luo Xiu could not see the man's face, the [Examination] showed that the man's emotions were gradually becoming tense, and his mental state was showing obvious fluctuations.

There is a hidden story.

Luo Xiu had a premonition that he might be able to catch the fish behind the man today.

After wandering around the streets for a few weeks, the man entered a building.

Luo Xiu did not act immediately. The [Survey] showed that the man's mental state fluctuations were not even as great as they were at the beginning, so it should just be a smokescreen.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the man came out of the building again and continued to wander around.

Luo Xiu followed closely. The man was only at the third level, and with the presence of [Surveillance], he naturally couldn't detect his presence.

After circling around eight or nine more times, the man walked toward an old-fashioned building once again.

This time, his mental state fluctuated drastically the moment he decided to step into the building.

Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed; it was about time.

He turned the corner, took out the invisibility potion that Tata had once given him, crushed it, and his figure immediately became transparent as the medicinal mist swept over him.

Using her feet to push off, she moved as fast as she could to get close to the man.

Through control of his body, he successfully overlapped his physique with that of a man.

The man in front of him blinked. He turned around, feeling that something was wrong, but Luo Xiu, who was still some distance away, was obviously not so easy to spot.

The man quickly regained his composure and realized that he must have been overthinking things.

He walked into the old building, and Luo Xiu followed behind him.

The interior of this building is significantly more ornate than its exterior appears.

Gold paint covered every corner, the floor was covered with fine wool carpets, the walls were adorned with numerous paintings and hanging plants, and even the two candlesticks on the fireplace looked expensive.

While it's not quite luxurious enough to evoke a sense of awe, its dilapidated appearance stands out starkly against its backdrop.

There was no one inside the house.

The man didn't seem surprised. He walked to the room on the far left and knocked on the door twice.

He walked to the middle room and knocked on the door twice.

Finally, he walked to the room in the far left corner and knocked on the door twice.

squeak-

A large section of wooden floorboard was lifted from beneath the fine wool carpet, and a chubby head resembling that of a child peeked out from under the carpet, speaking to the man:

"There's no tail following behind, is there?"

The man shook his head:

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I have been careful."

"That's right. The boss said he saw you today and that you won't be followed by anyone."

After the chubby boy finished speaking, he lowered his head and shouted down:

"Boss, come out, there's no one outside."

The chubby child braced himself on the floor with both hands and laboriously crawled out of the hole.

Following closely behind, a person whose figure was hidden under a cloak also peeked out from the hole.

"Boss, let me help you."

The chubby child reached out and grabbed the man's arm.

"Wait! The cloak is caught..."

The man spoke.

Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed as he heard the man's voice.

That voice sounds so familiar...

After some effort, the man crawled out of the cave.

The man in the school uniform placed his right hand on his left shoulder, bowed to the other person, and said:

“Mr. White, thanks to your help, I was able to win today’s match.”

White?

Luo Xiu's eyes widened. Was it a case of the same name, or had the account he had stolen been stolen by someone else?

"No need to thank me."

The person beneath the cloak revealed half of their handsome face and smiled slightly:

"As long as the final payment is made, everything will be fine."

"Um... I came here today to talk to you about whether we could discuss the money issue a little more."

The man looked troubled.

"After all, the first payment last time had already emptied most of my savings, so I'd like to ask if the price could be lowered a bit for this final payment."

"No money?"

The person under the cloak's face darkened:

“What are you doing here if you don’t have the money? Mr. Ap, we should make it clear that you have a month to raise the remaining balance, instead of coming here to negotiate the price with me.”

The man in the school uniform looked rather grim.

"But this is really too high, it costs 20 gold coins per attempt..."

"Why didn't you feel proud when you won the match?"

The person under the cloak spoke:

"Even without my prediction, you would still spend money on pointless purchases of props, and there's no guarantee of winning."

"You're already 29, right? You won't even be qualified to participate in the competition next year. If you don't improve your ranking as soon as possible, your resources will be completely exhausted."

"You should know that this is thanks to my prediction."

Hearing the aggressive words from the person under the cloak, the man in the cadet uniform looked increasingly grim.

"Prophecy, prophecy, did you foresee anything...?"

His hand had somehow slipped into his magic pocket, where he held a vial containing a potion whose color kept changing.

Having already memorized several alchemy books, Luo Xiu immediately recognized it as a firework potion.

A second-tier potion whose effect is to release brilliant fireworks into the sky when the potion is violently shaken.

It is quite powerful, enough to break through the roof of an ordinary house.

Before the man could smash the medicine bottle to the ground, Luo Xiu quickly reached out and grabbed the man's hand that was holding the medicine bottle.

This scene appeared somewhat eerie to the cloaked man and the chubby child opposite them.

It seemed like the male student was about to smash the medicine bottle to the ground but suddenly stopped.

"who is it?!"

The male student screamed in terror.

He could feel an invisible hand gripping his wrist tightly, making him completely unable to move.

Before he could react, the chubby boy rushed over and snatched the potion bottle from his hand, shouting at the cloaked figure:

"Boss, we got it."
