With a cigarette in his mouth, Riando looked Fade up and down and said, "You want to do business with me? What kind of business?"

Fade said directly, "I want to go to Cloud City in the southwest."

"If you want to go to Cloud City, then go and buy tickets at the station. What are you doing here?" Riando said.

Fade smiled and said, "Riando, a straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. If I could buy tickets at the station, I wouldn't come to you."

"Do you have a way? If not, I'll go replace someone else." Fade stood up and was about to leave.

Riando narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course I have my ways. However, Cloud City isn't close. It's not easy to go there!"

"How much are you willing to pay?" Riando rubbed his fingers.

Fade shook his head and said, "I don't have money!"

"You little b*stard..." The three men were so furious that they were about to attack.

However, Riando was calm and looked at Fade and said, "What do you have?"

He pointed to the squashed iron kettle on the table and said with a smile, "Is the strength of a second level martial artist enough?"

"Level two martial artist!" Riando's eyes lit up, but he immediately put on an indifferent look. "That's okay."

"Wait here for a minute. I'll give you an answer in an hour."

"Okay." Fade nodded.

Riando waved his hand and left with his men.

The woman who brought Fade in just now approached him with fear and curiosity.

"Handsome guy, are you really a second level martial artist? Do you have a certificate?"

"As a second level martial artist, you can earn at least 5,000 to 6,000 yuan a month by working for the government. Why don't you go?"

"What trouble are you in for you to come to us?"

Fade glanced at her and replied coldly, "I like quietness."

His cold eyes were frighteningly icy, which made her shiver in an instant. Her body stiffened and she left in a hurry.

Forty minutes later, Riando came back and said to Fade, "Good news, there is a fleet going to Cloud City tomorrow. You can go with them, but you need to be a bodyguard and ensure their safety." Fade narrowed his eyes and asked, "How big is the fleet? How many bodyguards are there? What's the limit of casualties?"

Riando replied, "There's a total of twenty people in two vehicles. They already have two guards, both of whom are martial artists of the second level." "Okay, I agree!" Fade nodded without hesitation. Riando said, "Great. Then you can rest here tonight. I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

"Okay!" Fade nodded.

After a night's rest, there were no incidents. At 9 o'clock the next morning, Riando sent people to bring Fade to the suburbs.

When he arrived, a group of people were already there.

Riando was chatting with a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses.

He introduced Fade to the man with sunglasses and said, "Mr. Liu, the person you want is here."

The man, Sabirin, looked at Fade and said doubtfully, "Riando, is this guy capable? He looks thin and weak. Is he really a second level martial artist?"

Riando patted his chest and said, "Mr. Liu, we have worked together so many times. Don't you trust me?"

After that, he glanced at Fade and said, "Fade, show Mr. Liu your skills."

Without saying anything, Fade kicked a piece of gravel off the ground.

The gravel hit a stone more than twenty meters away. With a bang, the stone cracked.

This move shocked Sabirin and the people behind him.

Riando was full of smiles. "Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

Sabirin nodded and said, "Not bad."

Riando rubbed his fingers together.

Sabirin understood and took out a pile of new notes that Fade had never seen before and handed it to Riando. Here's 20,000 yuan. I'll give you the remaining 20,000 yuan when the fleet reaches Cloud City safely."

The man in front of Riando nodded and said, "I don't need to worry about your credibility, Mr. Liu."

Then, Riando approached Fade's side and instructed, "The fleet will depart soon and you are its bodyguard. You have to listen to Mr. Liu and ensure the safety of the fleet. Do you understand?" "Got it!" Fade nodded.

Riando nodded and was about to leave.

However, Fade put one hand on Riando's shoulder and said, "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Riando turned around and asked.

Fade looked at the notes in his hand

at the

and said, "You said that you

arranged a way for me to go to Cloud City, but you sold me as a bodyguard instead to make money. I don't think it's a good idea to make money from both ends!"

"What do you mean?" Riando raised his eyebrows and his eyes sank.

Fade said, "I want some of the money you got."

"Of course, I know you have to earn a living too. Thus, I will not take all of it. Give me 10,000 out of the 20,000 yuan. When we reach Cloud City, the remaining 20,000 will all be mine." "Impossible!" Riando firmly refused. "You're demanding 30,000 out of 40,000. That's

impossible!"

Fade held him, who was about to leave, down, and said in a low voice, "Riando, don't forget that I'm the main person in this mission. It's enough for you to earn 10,000 yuan without doing anything." "Be careful not to be too greedy."

"Are you threatening me?" Riando glared at him.

Fade said disapprovingly, "It's up to you to decide. If you're not willing, I will not do this business. Or I will go to talk to Mr. Liu directly. I believe he will be very happy to save 10,000 yuan."

"You... You've broken the rules."

Riando gritted his teeth and said, "Also, the smuggling route in the wild isn't for everyone. Without my care, even those bandits along the way would be enough to make you suffer, much less vicious beasts."

"Really? Then I can lower the price. It's better than not getting any more money." Fade said.

"You..." Riando was a little anxious. "30,000 is too much. That's impossible. 5,000, I'll give

you 5,000."

"Haha, Riando, I don't know much about the situation here, but I'm not a fool." Fade sneered and was about to go to Sabirin.

Riando was a little anxious and quickly raised the price, "10,000.10,000 yuan."

Fade stretched out three fingers and said, "30,000 yuan, not a penny less. Otherwise, there is no need to talk."

"You..." Riando was furious. He waved his hand and was ready to call the people behind him.

Seeing this, Fade narrowed his eyes and pressed his right arm on Riando's shoulder. He exerted a little force and said coldly, "Riando, you'd better be wise. Having money is pointless when you're dead." Feeling the terrifying power of Fade's arm, Riando didn't dare to gamble in the end.

He could only nod and agree. "I promise you, 30,000 yuan will be yours."
