Svarog, who still had some principles among the Masked Fool, was basically certain after learning about Lin Yu's actions...

—This little guy may seem domineering, but he's actually quite gentle at heart.

Upon arriving in Belobog and learning that the Silvermane Guards and the residents of Belobog were in mortal danger due to the Void creatures, this person immediately took action that very night to deal with those dangerous things.

During the day, Lin Yu, who easily suppressed the Silvermane Guards, made certain moves during that battle...

—Aside from cutting Cocolia's face, the only other option was to disable the Silvermane Guards' armor.

To Svarog, who had seen many Pathstrider, Lin Yu's actions were more than gentle; they were downright 'weak'.

That's why Svarog wasn't worried that Lin Yu would cause any big problems, after all—this person's actions were already quite cautious.

"What... what exactly do you mean by that?"

Listening to Svarog's speech, and looking at the scenery in the lower city and the expressions on other people's faces, Bronya, who had asked the question, instantly came to an answer she didn't want to face.

The words spoken by the fugitive named Svarog Koski were actually quite straightforward.

Literally speaking, the residents of the lower city who were abandoned by Cocolia were already dissatisfied with Cocolia and the Silvermane Guards.

Even if a small number of people in the lower city can understand Cocolia's predicament, understanding is one thing, but it doesn't mean that these people are without resentment.

After all, from any perspective, the people of the downtown area are victims in this matter.

Back then, some people chose to come to the Lower City for the sake of Belobog's future, but the Upper City abandoned them instead. Now...

Even if the Silvermane Guards return, they probably won't cheer for them.

Svarog was not at all surprised by Bronya's attitude and behavior at this moment.

After all, before Lin Yu asked him to do this, Svarog's original idea coincided with Lin Yu's —according to his original script, he also wanted to find an opportunity to bring Bronya to the lower city to see the so-called "truth".

Objectively speaking, Lin Yu's actions, aside from eliminating the Void creatures that threatened the Silvermane Guards and the residents of Belobog, are basically what Svarog wanted to do.

If that's all there is to it, Svarog wouldn't recommend being content to stay out of the spotlight, letting others handle the work while he experiences the joy of "human dignity."

But the most crucial problem now is that Svarog can't see through Lin Yu.

Svarog had no idea what the other party's next move would be, given that this role was not in his plans.

For example, now that he saw Lin Yu walking towards the fighting club in Rock Town in the lower city, Svarog couldn't quite figure out what this guy was planning to do.

Although this group had just arrived in Belobog and didn't have any local currency, Svarog knew very well that with Lin Yu's skills, he didn't need to 'sell his body' to earn money by boxing.

As for intelligence...

Before the Stellaron Hunters arrived, Svarog had already thoroughly investigated all sorts of intelligence about the Upper and Lower City.

Scott, the owner of the fight club, is a man with a story, but that's about it...

There's no information on this person.

Moreover, even if Lin Yu wanted to be a good person, Old Scott's family was already all dead.

The dead cannot be brought back to life; this is practically a theorem in the universe, unless...

Then Svarog realized that he had been overthinking things.

"Yo ho, kid."

Seeing a stranger approaching him, Scott sneered as he sized up Lin Yu's body before speaking to him with utter contempt.

"You're a new face, kid. You're not thinking that you can compete in our fight club with that frail body, are you?"

The downtown residents around Scott didn't say much after he spoke.

Since Scott's family members died in a car accident more than a decade ago, his personality and values have become increasingly distorted.

Whether they were there to watch people box, or were people who used to have a good relationship with Scott, they all now felt a certain degree of alienation from this increasingly acerbic old man.

As for the words he's saying now...

As a warrior, Lin Yu actually has quite a bit of muscle.

However, from the moment he True Fusion with the Cocoon of Finality, his appearance was essentially fixed without him changing his mind.

Compared to the incredibly muscular boxers in the gym, Lin Yu's physique did not look particularly striking.

Of course, Scott's main purpose in saying these things was to lower the price.

This mentally disturbed old man, after the tragedy that befell his family, devoted himself entirely to his career...

Okay, that's the nice way to put it. The nice way to put it is that this old dog has been obsessed with money ever since.

Being obsessed with money isn't the problem; the problem is that becoming an unscrupulous businessman for the sake of making money is quite unpleasant.

Lin Yu had only come to check out the inside of the boxing gym, but the old man immediately gave him a hard time...

Faced with such an ungrateful old dog who is not a good person to begin with, your choice is of course—

Yes, my choice is of course...

"Hey, what's wrong? You're not happy with that, are you? — Hey, Cruze, get out here!"

After shouting into the fight club, Scott looked at Lin Yu with a cold smile.

"Hey, this good-for-nothing I called out may not be good at making money, but he looks much stronger than you."

"If you're not happy about it—"

Before he could finish speaking, Scott felt as if his body was flying, soaring into the air and crashing heavily into the wall of the building next door.

Watching his incredibly harsh boss slide miserably down the wall, the boxer Cruze, who had just been suppressing his anger, swallowed hard and looked at the man beside him.

"Brother, you..."

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yu, who was wiping his right fist, asked Cruze with great curiosity.

"This bastard is so annoying, you're not going to tell me I hit the wrong person, are you?"

"... That's right."

Seeing Scott fall to the ground in a pitiful state, the boxer named Cruze was shocked to find that he could not feel even a shred of pity for this seemingly miserable old man.

After all, just today, the other party told him, "You're a piece of trash who can't produce any entertainment value. Either go to the Rift and find a set of monster armor to wear, or get the hell out of here." They wanted him to take the dangerous step of going to the Rift to find monster armor.

It's really hard for Cruze to feel any sympathy for someone who routinely finds all sorts of excuses to deduct his own salary and doesn't care about his own life or the lives of other boxers when it really matters.

As for Lin Yu, Scott flying with a single punch...

He felt no regret whatsoever, only the refreshing feeling of getting rid of the trash.

Objectively speaking, Scott forgot his daughter's birthday while focusing on his career, which indirectly led to his wife and daughter being involved in a car accident in the uptown area, which seems like a very tragic situation.

But being miserable is not an excuse for his evil deeds.

Cocolia's stress tolerance was even worse than Scott's, but in Lin Yu's eyes, Cocolia deserved to die just as much for the atrocities she committed.

After Scott's personality changed drastically, he not only became a bitter and sarcastic person, but also, for the sake of so-called "show effects," forced his fighters into the rift, resulting in some irreparable tragedies.

This person has already chosen not to be human, so Lin Yu felt that he didn't need to treat this old man who didn't treat others as human beings either.

Furthermore, considering that his daughter Tess survived the car accident and even played the role of Mrs. Trude in a theater in the Upper Town, Old Deng is even less deserving of sympathy.

He didn't even care whether his daughter was dead or alive; his condition really made Lin Yu feel...

Ah, that was fun!

Svarog, who was in the distance, felt a chill run down his spine after seeing Lin Yu's casual punch.

Just now, he hadn't realized why Lin Yu had gone to the fight club.

Now, after careful reflection, Svarog realized that the answer was actually very simple.

Scott can't be called utterly wicked, but he's definitely becoming more and more disliked in the Lower City.

His mind is twisted, and as for this kind of twisted and despicable person...

Lin Yu's heavy punch was actually in line with his previous actions.

Then, Svarog thought about his actions and criminal record in the Upper City District and realized that he really should find some time to return some of the money he had swindled in the past.

Svarog now strongly suspects that Lin Yu's reluctance to attack him might be due to his knowledge of what Svarog has done.

Honestly, judging from Lin Yu's performance from yesterday to today, his intelligence-gathering ability is simply terrifying.

The reason Svarog hasn't been beaten up is because Lin Yu thinks Svarog is useful.

Once this is over— Lin Yu discards him after he's served his purpose...

No, from Lin Yu's perspective, bringing the old swindler Svarog to justice was actually a righteous act.

Leaving aside how strong Lin Yu, Svarog doesn't want Lin Yu to throw him out of Belobog because of some small mistake.

Although he could come back at any time after that, Svarog would definitely prefer to stay here and not cause too much trouble than be thrown out.

After all...

—In Svarog's eyes, Jarilo -VI is a place full of fun.

For the sake of more pleasure, Svarog had to compromise on some minor matters.

"Hmm, isn't this Scott?"

Upon hearing the commotion, a red-haired youth walked up to Scott and frowned at the mean-looking old man.

"This guy isn't exactly a good person, but..."

After helping Scott to the side, the red-haired youth said to Lin Yu with great dissatisfaction.

"It's not a good thing to just make a move like this—it's a stranger from who-knows-where."

Trailblaze Chapter 19. So gullible!

Faced with the young man who was now attacking him, Lin Yu did not take action directly as he had done with Scott.

After all, compared to Scott, Luka, as a member of the [Earthfire] team, is a great person in every way.

He lost an arm while saving someone in the past.

Although Luka was in despair after losing his arm, he quickly rallied.

This passionate young man not only did not give up, but also held the idea that "there are too many villains in the underground, and we must set a good example for the children." He participated in many fighting competitions as a boxer, and protected the people of the lower city as an officer of the Earth Fire.

His current attack on Lin Yu is certainly not because Luka himself likes Scott that much.

Anyone who knows Scott knows just how annoying this old scoundrel is; after a little contact with him, you'll know just how detestable he is.

Just because Luka is an executive of the Earthfire organization, an organization that "maintains the security of the lower-level cities," he would not stand idly by and do nothing if he saw Scott, a citizen, being punched to the point of near death, no matter how much he disliked the victim.

So...

Even though Luka felt an incredibly terrifying sense of pressure from Lin Yu, his sense of responsibility as a member of the Earthfire team prevented him from considering retreating.

As for why Cruze, who was next to Lin Yu, was completely unharmed, it's simply because Cruze, as a boxer, wasn't particularly outstanding.

The difference in strength between Luka and Lin Yu is vast, but compared to ordinary people, he is definitely a strong person.

Because he was a fighter far stronger than ordinary people, he knew just how serious the problem was.

Although he was away on official business for a long time and didn't spend much time in the safe zone of the lower city, there were only so many people in the lower city to begin with. If there had been such a terrifying monster in the past...

Yes, a terrifying monster. Luka felt that using the word "monster" to describe this man was perfectly appropriate.

In Luka's eyes, it was virtually impossible for a normal person to be so strong that Luka felt suffocated.

If there had been such a person in the lower city area before, he wouldn't have remained unknown until now.

This person must be from the upper district, so...

—Damn it, those guys in the upper city, are they finally planning to continue persecuting us?!

"What's wrong."

Looking at the young man who walked up to him without saying a word, Lin Yu tilted his head and asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Aren't you going to continue speaking or taking action, little brother from Earthfire?"

March 7th, who was watching the scene from behind, spoke nervously to the people around him.

"Hey everyone, this is getting really bad."
