Looking at the bustling, noisy thief's den ahead, Old Suo turned her head and whispered, "Sonia, when you make your move later, remember to be gentle and don't cause too much damage."

Hearing her young master's instructions, Sonia blushed and retorted, "Young master, shouldn't you be the one being careful?"

After Sonia finished speaking, Arcadius nodded in agreement.

"Um... do I look that unreliable? (Old Suo)"

"Of course not! Because you yourself are very unreliable, there's no need for you to look like it! (Sonia)" (At this moment, Arcadius nodded in agreement again.)

Seeing the two men's performance, Old Suo lowered his head in defeat.

Just as Old Suo was immersed in the sorrowful atmosphere, the impatient Knight Commander urged, "Your Majesty Sordil, if we don't act soon, we'll be discovered!"

After being reminded by Arcadius, Old Suo realized that he still had unfinished tasks, so he gave himself a pep talk and began assigning combat missions.

"Sonia, I'm going to storm into the village and take care of these thieves. You stay on the perimeter and don't let them escape!"

"I understand, young master!"

"Your Majesty Sordil, what should I do then?" (Arcadius)

"Commander Arcadius, although we've reached an agreement, this is ultimately a commission we both accepted, so it's best if you don't interfere. (Old Suo)"

"But..."

"Alright! If you're really worried, you can stay on the perimeter and keep an eye out for any fish that slip through the net for Sonia."

Looking at the unwavering resolve on Sordil's face, Arcadius nodded and said, "Alright!"

After the task was assigned, the three of them quietly made their way towards the thieves' lair.

"Hey! Did you hear?"

"What did you hear?"

"No way? That incident caused such a huge uproar, and you didn't even know?"

"Tch! I've been either on night duty or sleeping these past few days, how could I have had time to dig up gossip!"

Hearing his companion's words, the gatekeeper thief nodded, then whispered, "Let me tell you, that fat Lord Mayor of Rubinas City has turned his back on us and is preparing to send men..."

Just as they were listening with great interest, the other person suddenly stopped, which instantly enraged the other thief.

"Hey! What is he planning to do with his men? Tell me already!"

Upon hearing his words, the thief remained petrified, but the answer he sought came from behind him.

"Heh! It's nothing really, he's just planning to send people to wipe you out!"

"Bass"

Startled, the thief drew his longsword and pointed at the person behind him, asking, "Who... who are you?"

"People sent by the Lord Mayor!"

Looking at the innocent-looking silver-haired boy, the thief, feeling insulted by his own intelligence, roared and charged forward, brandishing his longsword.

"Bang!"

Before he could get close to the silver-haired boy, he was struck in the abdomen by a rock fist that emerged from the ground, foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.

"First blood secured!"

With a triumphant shout, the silver-haired youth then passed through the village gate and walked confidently toward the thieves' lair.

Oh, by the way, before leaving, he also knocked out another thief guarding the gate.

Watching someone's flamboyant way of entering the camp, the Knight Commander standing on a distant hill asked in surprise, "Miss Sonia, isn't His Majesty Sordil's actions too dangerous?"

Upon hearing the Knight Commander's question, Sonia nodded and said, "Yes! You're right, it's too dangerous to do that!"

"Then we..."

"Alright! Let's get moving and guard the area to prevent the frightened thieves from escaping."

"Miss, I'm talking about His Majesty Sordil's safety. Why are you still only thinking about the mission?" (The Knight Commander's inner thoughts)

Watching Sonia walk away, Arcadius wanted to stop her, but it was too late. So he could only follow them, praying that nothing bad would happen.

"Boss, something terrible has happened! A silver-haired youth has come in and injured many of our brothers!"

Upon hearing his underling's report, the White Ape sneered, "Heh! These mages really don't know what's good for them!"

"You go down first, I'll be right there!"

"Yes!"

After his underlings left, the White Ape turned to the screen and said, "I'm leaving it to you!"

A long time passed after the words were spoken before a muffled groan came from behind the screen.

"Um!"

Having received a reply, the White Ape chuckled a few times, then picked up a large cleaver and walked out.

Just as the White Ape was about to arrive at the battlefield, Old Suo finally encountered a worthy opponent, and coincidentally, he knew this person.

"Huh? It's you?"

Hearing Old Suo's surprised expression, the former passerby, now the second-in-command of the thieves, laughed and said, "Hehe! It's me!"

"No wonder you advised me to leave; it turns out you were one of my targets!"

"Hehe! Young man, I was only doing that for your own good!"

"Hmph! You almost caused me to lose millions of dollars, and you still have the nerve to say it was for my own good!"

"Hehe! Young man, money is good, but you have to be alive to spend it!"

"Whoosh!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the second-in-command of the passersby threw several hidden weapons at Old Suo's face.

"Rock Wall"

"Pfft pfft"

Fortunately, Old Suo reacted quickly, managing to avoid being disfigured. However, this completely enraged Old Suo, causing him to forget his earlier instructions to Sonia and himself, and thus, tragedy struck!

"The Iron Dragon's Roar"

"Call out"

The dark blue breath brushed past the scalp of the passerby's second-in-command, making him 'brilliantly bald' ahead of time, while simultaneously splitting the mountain stronghold in two.

Fortunately, Old Suo still had a shred of rationality in his mind, so he didn't use too much of his strength, and thus the mountain and the nearby Rubinas City remained intact.

"Gulp"

After glancing back at the situation behind him, the second-in-command of the passersby rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Wow! You've got a big mouth, but a cowardly guts!" (Second-in-command bystander: Dude, you just went and carved a tunnel right through the mountains. Anyone who saw that would be terrified!)

After saying this, Old Suo snorted coldly and continued walking into the village.

Old Suo advanced along the minion wave for thirty seconds and, as expected, encountered enemy heroes, and more than one at that.

Looking at the white monkeys in front of him, Old Suo exclaimed, "Holy crap! The leader of this gang of thieves is a bunch of Vakken!"

"Hey! You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? I'm the White Ape, they're just my henchmen!"

Hearing the angry shouts from the other side, Old Suo scanned the opponent's lineup again.

Finally, he found the white monkey... uh, slip of the tongue! The bandit leader in the white robes between the two Vakken.

After locking onto the target, Old Suo asked, "I'm curious, how did you manage to lure so Vakken here?"

"Hehe! Although Vakken are magical beasts, they also have preferences. As long as you can satisfy them, they'll do anything you want!"

"That's true!"

"Alright! I've answered your questions. It's time to send you on your way!"

After the White Ape finished speaking, it hid behind the Vakken, while the Vakken charged towards Old Suo.

"Hmph! Who do you think you are!"

After speaking, Sordil clenched his right fist and made a palm with his left hand, overlapping it with the lower left and upper right hands.

"Sand-Shaped Design: Rising Dragon"

"Buzz!"

The moment Old Suo finished speaking, more than a dozen dragon-shaped sand pillars rose from the ground and struck the Vakken ' chins.

"Call out!"

Dozens of Vakken missiles shot into the sky, collided high in the air, and then the warheads crashed down to the ground.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Once everything quieted down, Old Suo stretched his neck and limbs, then said to the cluster of craters, "Alright, all the troublemakers are taken care of, now it's your turn!"

Upon hearing Old Suo's words and connecting certain things in his memory, the White Ape threw down his greatsword and turned to run away.

"Hmph! If you get away, who am I going to ask for my reward from!"

"Teleportation!"

"Buzz!"

The space trembled, and then Old Suo appeared in front of the White Ape.

"Bang!"

After a clean and decisive punch, the White Ape fell to the ground, and the thieves who had been hiding around watching the battle scattered.

"Hey! This will make my job harder!"

After making a self-deprecating joke, Old Suo assumed his previous fighting stance and softly called out, "Sandform - Rock Wall - Four-Sided Castle."

"Buzz!"

In an instant, four towering Rock Wall appeared around the mountain stronghold, completely enclosing it. Immediately afterwards, the sounds of Maruko being made and heavy objects hitting the ground echoed from within this colossal rock fortress.

Rubinas City, Lord Mayor's Mansion

Just as the Lord Mayor and his companion were about to run out of patience, they finally received news about the encirclement and suppression operation.

"Reporting to the Lord Mayor, the man and woman from before have returned and are demanding payment from you."

Upon hearing the report, the Lord Mayor and the Butler exchanged a glance.

"What do you think, (Lord Mayor)?"

"Although the Fairy Tail mages like to destroy things, they don't claim their rewards for doing so, so they must have really taken care of those people."

"So what should we do?"

"Hehe! Easy!"

As he spoke, the Butler leaned close to the Lord Mayor and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Haha! Good! Let's do it that way! (Lord Mayor)"

"Then you deal with them for a while, I'll go get ready."

"Okay! Go ahead!"

After the Butler left, the Lord Mayor called out to the door, "Please let those two in!"

"Yes!"

A short while later, the silver-haired duo, who had not been gone for long, reappeared in the hall.

"Hehe! Lord Mayor, we have completed the task you entrusted to us. Shouldn't you pay us our reward now?"

Upon hearing the silver-haired youth's words, the Lord Mayor changed his previous attitude and said with a smile, "Hehe! I will send someone to confirm it right away. If it is true, I will pay you both the reward immediately."

"All right!"

Upon seeing that Old Suo had agreed to his request, the Lord Mayor immediately sent people to the bandits' lair to verify the results, and invited Old Suo and his companion to sit down and wait.
