It was the dead of night. During the second half of the night, the central district was deserted, with not a soul on the streets.
" this way."
A deliberately lowered voice rang out. Captain Berner, who had been forced to defect, walked ahead. He actually hadn't wanted to do this. It was his boss's wife who had taken the initiative to seduce him, but his boss would never believe that. If this matter came to light, he would definitely be castrated first and killed afterward.
At the thought, Captain Berner shuddered. He hurried onward and finally returned to the small courtyard where Su Xiao was temporarily staying. By then, Captain Berner was drenched in cold sweat.
"You're no good. That little scare left you sweating all over."
Caesar flashed a knowing man's smile. Captain Berner remained silent.
"Since we're all on the same side now, allow me to solemnly recommend a Rejuvenating Mighty Pill. As long as..."
Caesar pulled a paper-wrapped item from his robe. It was a pill wrapped in calendar paper. The pill was quite large, about the size of a lychee, and looked black through the paper.
Captain Berner paid it no mind. When he heard that it could be sampled for free, however, he was tempted. He tore open the calendar paper and, as if eating a candy, chewed one pill with a tightly furrowed brow. The moment it broke apart in his mouth, his entire face wrinkled. From the look of him, he seemed liable to drop dead on the spot at any moment.
After a while, Captain Berner sniffed and rubbed his forehead, which was still buzzing faintly.
"Strong enough?"
As Caesar spoke, he gave a thumbs-up. Captain Berner nodded. After swallowing the pill, the force had shot straight up into his crown.
