As soon as he spoke, Sun Busong's eyebrow twitched. He had been wearing a full black robe that day, and even his tone and intonation were very different from now.

"Don't you know a little too much?"

Sun Busong stared at the other person with ill intentions.

"Hahaha, I'm actually being threatened by a Professional who just advanced!"

The young man pointed at Sun Busong, laughing so hard he bent over. However, the two people next to him remained motionless, which made him feel awkward after laughing for a while.

"Why aren't you laughing?" He glanced at his two partners, and the young man shrugged helplessly.

Then he looked back at Sun Busong, his eyes very strange.

"You're a Dwarf race! What skill or item did you use at the auction that day to temporarily change your race?"

"Are all these people blind!"

Sun Busong lamented inwardly.

"What's wrong? What business is it of yours whether I'm a Dwarf race or human?" He was a little angry. Although his height of 1.6 meters wasn't considered tall among humans, how old was he? He must have been mistaken.

But none of the people he encountered looked at his appearance and height. Where did they confirm he was a Dwarf race from???

"Hahaha, please forgive my rudeness, sorry, sorry. I know you Dwarf race don't like others comparing you to humans. Actually, in my eyes, every race has its own aesthetic."

The young man bowed apologetically to Sun Busong.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you about this. But I have a question for you, how did you recognize me?"

Sun Busong was very curious about this, and it was also crucial for him to move around in the future without being recognized with other identities.

"Oh~ So you came to me because of this. Then I can tell you, but before that, shouldn't you report your name first?"

The young man had a faint smile on his face the whole time, the kind of calm smile that suggested everything was under control.

"My name is Sun Busong, I'm 14 years old, and you?"

"My name is Luffy, 18 years old, nice to meet you."

Luffy! Your sister! If you had chosen any other name, I might have believed you, but you give me this! Do you think you're the Pirate King!

Sun Busong's mind was filled with frantic internal complaints.

"Brother, I believe you when you say you're 18, but if you say your name is Luffy, I really can't take it anymore. Can we talk properly?"

Now it was the other side's turn to be unhappy: "My name is really Luffy, there's nothing to be afraid of saying."

Sun Busong ignored the other person's expression and retorted directly: "Then what's your surname? Monkey D! Call it, Monkey D. Luffy? And you're the Pirate King?"

As soon as Sun Busong finished his retort, the Female Rogue opposite him immediately reacted. She quickly drew a pair of daggers from her waist and threw them rapidly towards Sun Busong's neck.

"Wait!"

Luffy stopped the Female Rogue's actions in time. At this moment, her dagger was less than a centimeter away from Sun Busong's carotid artery.

"He knows too much, we can't make a move now!"

This was the first time Luffy had treated someone so cautiously, a Dwarf race Warrior who was only 14 years old.

"I don't know where you got your information about me. It seems I underestimated you, you're very good."

Then Luffy calmly observed left and right, and then smiled and asked Sun Busong: "So, where are your people? Why haven't they come to arrest me yet?"

"Huh?"

His words confused Sun Busong.

"What do you mean, my people? Why would I arrest you? Are you undead? Impossible, I'm not blind!"

The Paladin, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help it anymore. He grunted loudly at Sun Busong: "Hey! You dwarf, quickly call out your people. We have to go back after the fight."

"Fight what the hell! Are you guys sick! I'm alone, if you want to fight, I'll see it through!" Sun Busong was furious. These three people were shameless. He was only level 21, and although he couldn't see the other party's level, with the equipment they had, they couldn't have equipped it without being level 50.

Seeing Sun Busong ready to fight, Luffy was stunned, and the other two were completely bewildered.

A level 21 Warrior, coming alone to capture the three of them? Let alone Luffy, just either of them, a level 53 elite Paladin or a level 56 elite Defias Plunderer, could easily kill him with one slap.

"You don't recognize me?" Luffy asked tentatively.

"Nonsense, of course I recognize you, aren't you the Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy! Please be more careful when you make up a lie. Look at me, I'm Sun Busong, my name is my own!"

"Are you sure you don't recognize me?" Luffy was a little suspicious that Sun Busong was deliberately stalling for time or was simply crazy.

"Fight or not? If not, get lost!" Sun Busong didn't want to deal with them anymore.

The Paladin approached Luffy and said in a very low voice: "It seems we made a mistake. This kid thinks you're tricking him with a fake name."

Although he was speaking in a very low voice, with his loud voice, everyone present could hear it.

Sun Busong sneered and said contemptuously: "Acting! Keep acting!"

"So it really was a misunderstanding. Sorry, my full name is"

Just as Luffy was about to tell Sun Busong his full name, the Female Rogue beside him tugged at his clothes, interrupting him, and said: "No, Master cannot tell him his name."

Luffy smiled slightly and said kindly to her: "It's okay, what bad intentions can he have? A level 21 Warrior, even if I tell him, he won't understand."

Then he looked back at Sun Busong and completed his introduction: "My name is VanCleef, Luffy, level 41 Elite Pirate King!"

"King of Thieves!"

Sun Busong didn't react for a moment. He'd never heard of such a profession!

"How come I've never heard of the King of Thieves profession?" After a while, Sun Busong came to his senses, but he still wasn't clear what kind of profession it was.

"Do you know Edwin VanCleef? Do you know the Defias Brotherhood?"

"I know that! Isn't that the group of rogues Stormwind has on its wanted list!" As he said this, Sun Busong suddenly realized.

He pointed at Luffy and exclaimed in surprise, "You, you... are you, are you so-and-so's son?"

Luffy just smiled and put a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.

"Okay, no problem, haha, I get it!" Now Sun Busong completely understood. He glanced around, and after confirming no one else was eavesdropping, he walked up to Luffy and whispered, "So you're Old Wen's son, no wonder they call you the King of Thieves! Do you also have a sister?"

Now it was Luffy's turn to be unsettled. The fact that he had a sister was a secret; only five people in the world knew about it.

"What sister? What are you talking about?" After considering for a moment, Luffy decided to try and pry information out of him first.

"Tch, that's no fun. Your sister is Vanessa, isn't she!" As soon as Sun Busong said this, Luffy's body instantly stiffened. Even the two elites beside him widened their eyes, wearing expressions that said, "I'd rather die than believe this."

"Take him and let's go back to headquarters!" Luffy chopped Sun Busong's neck with a palm strike, knocking him unconscious, and then mounted his flying mount to leave first.

The Paladin glanced at the King of Thieves who had already flown away, then at Sun Busong lying on the ground. He then let out a whistle, and a warhorse with wings appeared before him.

"Let's go!"

A large hand grabbed Sun Busong, and soon they were gone without a trace.

Sun Busong vaguely had a dream, as if he were riding a roller coaster at an amusement park, going down and up, the feeling of weightlessness making him feel a bit nauseous.

"Don't throw up on my mount, or I'll throw you off!"

A deep, stern voice jolted Sun Busong awake immediately.

"What are you doing? Why did you grab me! I'm not a human from Stormwind!"

"We're not trying to capture you, we just want to be friends. Just stay put, and we'll be there soon."

"Who are you kidding! Do you think I'm three years old!"

"You..."

The other party wasn't going to be polite to him. Another palm strike landed on his neck.

When Sun Busong woke up again, it was already evening.

"Leader, he's awake!"

Sun Busong slowly opened his eyes and saw four people surrounding him, including the King of Thieves Luffy and the Paladin who had flown him back.

"Sun Busong, you're awake. Do you want to eat something first? Heh heh, we brought you back this time with absolutely no ill intentions. We just have a few questions we want to ask you. We hope you can see the situation clearly and answer us seriously."

Luffy sat on a somewhat aged wooden table, facing him, while the other three were positioned to block his escape route.

Seeing their formation, Sun Busong glanced left and right, then rolled off the bed and walked straight to Luffy's table. He casually picked up a spare cup, poured some water, and took a sip.

"Speak, what do you want!"

In this situation, he couldn't run and couldn't win a fight. Since he had trump cards and wasn't afraid of death, he decided to go head-on. He wasn't one to back down.

"Heh heh, I admire your courage and want to befriend you, but first, please answer a few of my questions!"

"Sure, no problem. But get me something to eat first, I'm starving." The cup of water only moistened his throat; Sun Busong hadn't eaten for a long time.

"Go prepare some roast meat for him!" The Paladin glanced at Luffy and then shouted outside the door.

Luffy wasn't in a hurry. After the food was brought and Sun Busong began to devour it, he opened his mouth and asked, "I think you know who I am now, but when we were chatting at first, you didn't know who I was. Can you tell me how you knew who I was?"

Sun Busong tore off another piece of meat, chewed and swallowed, then looked at Luffy and replied, "I've actually never met you. Of course, I haven't met your father or your sister either."

After Sun Busong mentioned his sister, a fleeting emotion crossed the faces of the four people in the room. However, in that instant, they didn't interrupt Sun Busong and continued to listen.

"But I know you are from the Defias Brotherhood. Calculating the time, Old Wen should have been assassinated by now. Oh, my condolences!"

Luffy's mouth twitched.

"Old Wen was a good person, especially the words he said before he died, 'You dogs of Stormwind, my actions are just!' Those words made me feel passionate, so I also believe what he did was just. However, he was a bit unlucky to be betrayed, but even if he hadn't been betrayed, Black Dragon Sister wouldn't have let him go in the end."

"Who is Black Dragon Sister?" Luffy interrupted and asked.

"Stormwind's Countess Katrana Prestor. That should be her current identity. Her true identity is Onyxia, the daughter of the Black Dragon Aspect, Neltharion, Deathwing!"

Luffy's face changed drastically, and he shot up from his seat. The other three also moved closer to Sun Busong.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Sun Busong sat calmly in his chair, signaling them not to be nervous.

"Of course, it's true. Don't rush, there's more!"

"I also know your secret base is in a mine, and you've even dug an inland river there and built a huge warship."

As he spoke, he ignored their astonished expressions and directly pointed at a thin man wearing a mask that covered his face.

"You must be General Scarface!"

"I don't really remember the other people. You should also have a murloc, right?"

A step forward was taken by the person he pointed at. After removing his mask, a wolf's face was revealed. He bared his teeth and asked Sun Busong, "You know me?"

"Of course, aren't you the unfortunate soul who was cursed and accidentally killed your own wife?"

A flicker of anger appeared in the werewolf's eyes. He didn't want to be called unfortunate, but Sun Busong was right; he had killed his own wife with his own hands.

"General, restrain yourself and let him continue," the Paladin beside him gently patted General Scarface's shoulder.

Next, Sun Busong revealed everything he knew about the Brotherhood. During this time, he also asked Luffy some questions and clarified one thing: Black Dragon Sister was still in Stormwind and had not yet been exposed.

Hehehe! I can be a dragon slayer this time!

The people in the room were stunned after hearing Sun Busong's words, unsure how to process the information. They all fell silent, lost in their own thoughts.

Of course, Sun Busong, after talking for so long, was thirsty and hungry. He snapped his fingers, "Waiter, another plate of roasted meat!"

Luffy locked Sun Busong in this room. As he was leaving, he looked at Sun Busong with a complex expression and asked, "I want to ask you, how did you know all of this?"

"If I told you I saw it on a webpage on a computer, would you believe me?"

"What webpage?"

"!"

Luffy stared into Sun Busong's eyes for several seconds before saying with certainty, "I believe you!"

He then said to Sun Busong, "Didn't you ask me at the beginning, 'How did you recognize me?' Now I can tell you, I have a talent skill that allows me to see into a person's heart. Anyone I've met once, no matter how they disguise themselves, I can recognize them at a glance. I can also tell if what they're saying is true or false."

"You might be hiding something from me, but I know everything you've said is true. I believe you, and from now on, we are friends. I won't ask you any more questions unless you want to tell me yourself."

"But you can't leave yet. Give us a few hours to sort things out, and then we'll let you go."

Then, Luffy leaned closer to Sun Busong and looked into his eyes, saying, "One last question, can you promise me you won't tell anyone after you leave here?"

Sun Busong met his gaze, then smiled and replied, "Don't worry! Absolutely no problem!"

"Good!"

After the Pirate King Luffy left, Sun Busong lay down on the bed and began to consider his future plans.

First, of course, was his monster-slaying endeavor. He wasn't sure which map he was on, but it didn't matter. He was only level 21, so as long as it wasn't a new recruit training area, he could grind anywhere.

Next, he needed to help Xiu Ma advance. It was still of ordinary quality. After defeating that elite-class Dark Iron Chieftain in Gnomeregan, its advancement progress became 1/10.

As long as he defeated nine more elite monsters, Xiu Ma could advance to green quality. Perhaps then it wouldn't be so foolish?

Sun Busong wasn't worried about his safety at all. Even if they tried to kill him, he wasn't afraid. With his current HP, even if he had to drag his corpse, he could rely on his Super Soul Stone to break out. Once he was out, hehe! Those who offend me will pay!

However, the Brotherhood's essence was quite good. A group of unfortunate proletarians were tricked, exploited, and coerced by the nobles in Stormwind. In the end, when Stormwind was built, these workers didn't receive a single cent of pay.

Instead, they were demoted to rebels and bandits. Fortunately, Old Wen, the contractor, stood up for them.

Edwin was an outstanding talent among humans. Setting aside the fact that he formed the Brotherhood, he was the youngest and most skilled craftsman among all humans, eventually becoming the leader of the craftsmen, which demonstrated his ability.

Later, the Stormwind nobles tried to buy Edwin off with titles, telling him to stop caring about his subordinate workers. But Edwin, in front of the nobles, angrily tore up the title deeds they offered him.

Then, he led these poor workers to the Barrens. Here, they began cultivating farmland, occupying mines, and trading with goblins. Furthermore, a large number of technical personnel were among his workers, capable of crafting equipment and manufacturing goods themselves.

As time went on, the Brotherhood grew stronger and larger. All the workers under him could eat and dress warmly. But this also led to a large and mixed population. Some thugs, mountain bandits, and local bullies also joined. They used the Brotherhood's name to bully civilians and rob merchants.

Edwin was eventually betrayed and died, and the Brotherhood suffered heavy losses for a time.

Sun Busong had thought the Brotherhood was destroyed. He didn't expect to be captured and brought back by Old Wen's son, Luffy.

"Can I reach an agreement with the Brotherhood to help me get materials, gather intelligence, and do things for me! Or! Absorb them!!!"

Sun Busong was suddenly startled by his own idea.

After sitting on the bed and considering it carefully again, he felt it could work!

"I'm a transmigrator. Any one of my trump cards can allow me to thrive. And there are still some benefits I haven't noticed that are slowly appearing. Why can't I have my own army!"

Sun Busong took out a bottle of strong liquor from his backpack, took a big gulp, and then burst into laughter.

Not long after, Luffy and the Paladin returned to the room.

"You can leave now. I believe you won't betray us," Luffy said to Sun Busong with a friendly smile, but Sun Busong no longer wanted to leave.

"Leave? Go where? And why should I leave?"

"Hmm?"

Now it was Luffy's turn to be bewildered.

"Aren't you returning to Ironforge?" Luffy asked.

"Are you stupid? I was just about to take a gryphon. I was captured by you when I was leaving Ironforge," Sun Busong replied.

"Uh, where were you planning to go after leaving Ironforge?" Luffy asked.

"Anywhere is fine. I'm already a Professional now, so I can go anywhere," Sun Busong said.

"Then go! Go wherever you want!" Luffy said.

"I'm already here. This place is great!" Sun Busong declared.

"(⊙o⊙)..." Luffy stared.

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly for a long time.

"You really don't want to leave here?" Luffy was the first to break the silence.

"It's pretty good here. I plan to hang out with you guys. When I've decided on my next destination, I'll leave on my own."

"But we're rebels, we're bandits. You'll be implicated if you stay with us." Luffy was genuinely concerned for Sun Busong.

"As long as I'm not recognized, isn't that enough? I remember everyone in your brotherhood wears red masks. I can make one myself, you don't need to worry about it."

"Aren't you going to think about it some more?"

"No need to think. I'm not going to spend my whole life with you. I'll definitely leave when I reach level thirty. I still want to become an Elite Warrior."

Seeing that Sun Busong was determined to stay and genuinely wanted his approval, Luffy finally nodded in agreement.

"Uncle Ebony, please prepare a red silk mask for Sun Busong and let him stay with me."

Uncle Ebony, who was that Paladin, really wanted to object.

"Leader, he doesn't seem strong enough to wear a silk mask. How about we give him a different one? A leather one?"

"What do you mean by that!" Sun Busong was unhappy.

The masks in the brotherhood had their own hierarchy. The lowest-ranking members wore rough red linen masks and were considered auxiliary personnel for errands.

Next were the linen masks. These individuals specialized in delivering information and gathering intel, possessing a certain level of strength.

Red woolen masks signified members of the brotherhood's combat personnel, participating in important battles or assassination missions.

Red leather masks belonged to the backbone of the brotherhood, with many being formidable Professionals.

And then there were the silk masks. Wearing a silk mask indicated one was part of the higher echelons or a trusted confidant of the leadership.

"Let me tell you, my strength is quite considerable, and I'm also a Master Blacksmith." Sun Busong hated being looked down upon.

"We don't need a Master Blacksmith. Most of our brothers wear leather armor and cloth clothing."

Oh, this old knight really knows how to talk. You're wearing plate armor yourself!

Sun Busong felt that if he didn't show some strength, the other party wouldn't take him seriously.

"I know leatherworking! Heh."

With a slightly mischievous grin, Sun Busong raised an eyebrow and provocatively looked at Uncle Ebony.

"Leatherworker? Brother, are you serious?" Luffy, who had been watching the exchange, became agitated by Sun Busong's words.

As Uncle Ebony had said, most of the brotherhood's Professionals were Rogues, Assassins, Scouts, and Mages – classes that primarily used leather armor.

He was planning to go to Ironforge specifically to purchase leather armor to equip his army.

"You forgot about those black leather sets you acquired?"

"What! Those black leather sets were made by you? Hahaha, that's great, my brother! Now I don't have to worry about equipment anymore." Luffy was overjoyed. This was the first time he had laughed heartily since Old Wen's death.

"Uncle Ebony, did you hear that? Hurry up and protect our leatherworking master! You must fulfill all his requests from now on."

"Yes! Lord."

With that, Uncle Ebony quickly left the room to get the silk mask for Sun Busong.

After he left, Sun Busong looked at Luffy and asked, "Hey, Luffy, where did you find this old knight? I know the bad habits of these Paladins. How did he end up with you guys?"

Luffy sighed and then explained Uncle Ebony's situation.

It turned out this old knight was a disciple of Uther the Lightbringer!

After Uther was killed, his youngest disciple left the church and wandered the world alone. During a battle with demons, he was rescued by members of the brotherhood. From that point on, he became the brotherhood's only Paladin.

"So, does he still have contact with the Silver Hand?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that. Besides, I don't doubt those I trust. I trust him."

"Hmm, these knights are generally trustworthy."

After saying this, Sun Busong changed the subject and began discussing with Luffy what he would and wouldn't do within the brotherhood.

"First, I have my own money, so I don't need a salary from your brotherhood. However, if you want me to craft equipment, you must provide double the materials."

"I understand. Crafting equipment isn't always successful, and you don't need to worry about the materials. Just tell them how much you need," Luffy replied.

"Heh heh, I like that. Also, I have a pet. It's still in Ironforge. Find someone to take my token and bring it here." Sun Busong said.

"As a Warrior, where did you get a pet? Is it for show?" Luffy asked.

"Who told you Warriors can't have pets? And my pet needs to fight Elite monsters to advance. You'll also need to give me a group of people to gather information on Elite monsters. These people will be mine from now on, and I'll pay them myself." Sun Busong stated.

"Alright, anything else?" Luffy asked.

"I might leave at any time to go wherever I please, and I won't necessarily tell you where. Also, I probably can't help you kill people from Stormwind." Sun Busong said.

"That's fine too. After all, you are a formal Alliance Professional," Luffy replied.

"But I can help you take down Black Dragon Sister, hehe!" Sun Busong said this while putting his arm around Luffy's shoulder.

"Are you serious!" This was a matter of patricide.

"Not a word of a lie! Give me some time, and I'll investigate everything. Then, we won't need to waste our strength. Let King Wrynn flirt with the Black Dragon himself."

"Hmph! Those nobles in Stormwind are all cowardly and afraid of death. How could they possibly fight the Black Dragon?" Anger filled Luffy's eyes.

"I say it is, so it is. You don't need to worry about this. Just give me a team, and the requirements are simple: they must be absolutely loyal to me and obey my commands!" Sun Busong.

"Okay!"

Thus, Sun Busong's intelligence agency was born, and this team was named the Imperial Guard! Throughout future events in the World of Warcraft, this team was always involved. They were all powerful and well-equipped. Whether it was the Alliance or the Horde, they had received their aid and assistance, but they had also caused rivers of blood to flow from those they killed. When the Imperial Guard were allies, they were like the Holy Light saving people from suffering; but when they were enemies, they were more terrifying than the demons of the Burning Legion!

And so, Sun Busong began his life in the Barrens. During this time, he also visited the Deathmine, the Brotherhood's secret base. He saw massive warships and even met Luffy's sister, the beautiful Vanessa.

Vanessa had jet-black hair, a pair of blue eyes like the ocean, thin lips, a high-bridged nose, and skin as fair as snow.

However, this girl didn't give Sun Busong a good look. She disliked the dwarf leering at her!

Was I leering? That was an admiring gaze. Her prominent features were too eye-catching, making me unable to help but look a few extra times!

If Luffy hadn't pulled him away quickly, Sun Busong would have definitely gotten beaten up.

Xiu Ma was also brought over. Sun Busong personally selected ten Professionals from the Brotherhood to form his initial core team.

Among them were two Defias pirates and their parrot, two Defias Shadow Guards, two Defias Necromancers, two Defias Arcane Mages, and Tauren Punch Master. The last one was a Dwarf Paladin, Uncle Ebony's apprentice! Usop.

Sun Busong spent a lot of money to trick the latter two into joining. Although Usop was still an ordinary Paladin, Sun Busong didn't need to worry about it; the veteran Paladin Uncle Ebony would find his own channels to help him advance.

Tauren Punch Master was a significant figure in the Brotherhood, and Sun Busong managed to coax him over as well. He promised the Tauren that once he reached level thirty, he would take him to the Tauren's main city, Thunder Bluff, for a tour. He also promised the Tauren that he would get him the Shaman class.

And so, Sun Busong spent his days either grinding monsters with Xiu Ma or leading the Imperial Guard on activities, gathering intelligence about the Black Dragon in Stormwind.

These Imperial Guards were already skilled at gathering information. Under Sun Busong's training, their strength and abilities improved further.

Moreover, Sun Busong crafted full sets of Blue Gear for these individuals, arming them to the teeth. Once, after being ambushed in Stormwind, four of them, without suffering any serious injuries, defeated over a dozen SI:7 agents and escaped with ease.

From then on, the name of the Imperial Guard gradually began to spread, but their boss remained unknown.

Days passed, and Sun Busong reached level 25. He could no longer gain Kill Points in the Barrens.

Furthermore, all the elite rare monsters in the vicinity had been found by the Imperial Guard and became sacrifices for Xiu Ma's advancement.

"Luffy, I'm going out for a while. I don't know how many days this trip will take, but I'll be back soon. Please help me deliver these pieces of equipment to Vanessa and tell her not to worry about my safety. I'm taking all the Imperial Guard with me; they need stronger enemies to improve."

Luffy knew that Sun Busong had to face more enemies to grow. Although he was a bit reluctant, some sacrifices were necessary.

"Go ahead. I'll help you deliver the items. But I don't think she likes you very much."

"That's just your imagination. Take good care of the house, don't let it be gone when I get back!"

With that, Sun Busong set off with Tauren and Usop.

His destination this time was Duskwood, a day's journey away. The Imperial Guard had heard that the Undead race had been active there recently, and some of the Brotherhood's executives had apparently been controlled by these Undead.

Sun Busong, of course, jumped at the chance to both grind monsters and win people's hearts.

Eight Imperial Guards had already been dispatched, entering the town in advance to start interacting with the villagers.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Raven Hill Graveyard.

"Officer, this is the place where ghosts often appear. We've already found the relevant individuals. Should we go now, or wait until tomorrow morning?"

The level 25 Tauren Punch Master had now adapted to his role. Under Sun Busong's generous and extravagant spending, the Tauren had been won over. You can't imagine the joy of rich people.

"Why wait until tomorrow? Ghosts don't only appear at night, do they? The time is just right. What's wrong, are you scared?"

When Sun Busong had just reached level 25, he had accidentally offended Vanessa. This fiery lady with a fiery temper had erupted and was about to beat Sun Busong up in front of everyone.

Sun Busong had been getting along quite well here these days. Several Brotherhood members had stepped forward to speak up for him, and some had even used their bodies to block Vanessa, allowing him to escape.

But this time, Sun Busong didn't run. He didn't use a weapon or a shield; he just stood there and let Vanessa attack him.

Everyone thought Sun Busong would be bedridden for at least a month, but what happened next stunned them all. Level 42 Rogue King Vanessa continuously struck Sun Busong with her fierce fists for five minutes, yet Sun Busong was unharmed!

Although Vanessa didn't use her weapon, Sun Busong didn't block or parry either. Finally, Vanessa found an excuse and let go of Sun Busong, going into her room alone to ponder.

What she was thinking, we cannot know. However, from that day on, Vanessa's attitude towards Sun Busong clearly changed; she no longer lost her temper with him for no reason.

And the attitude of these Brotherhood members towards Sun Busong became even more enthusiastic. Many tried their best to join his Imperial Guard, and some openly declared their willingness to be auxiliary members of the Imperial Guard, helping Sun Busong with intelligence, running errands, and so on.

Sun Busong's Strength attribute was now off the charts, and his Vitality was even more exaggerated. It felt like that green bar couldn't possibly hold it all.

"With you here, how could we be scared? Besides, it's just a ghost! Usop is the best at dealing with them."

The Paladin on the side enjoyed the Tauren's words.

"Then why are you still standing there blankly? Let's go inside and take a look."

Soon, the three of them found an old man in a dilapidated little room.

"Hello there, guests from afar. You're not from around here, are you? What brings you here? I'm an old man, and I don't have anything to give you."

A pale old man said to the three of them, trembling. This old man probably mistook them for bandits or something.

"Elder, we're not who you think we are. I'm a Warrior, he's a Paladin, and although this Tauren doesn't have a class, he's my partner. We're not bad people." Sun Busong said with a smile as he introduced himself to the old man.

"Oh, I see. Haha, that's good. But even if you were bad people, you wouldn't get anything from me."

This old man talked quite a lot.

"Have there been any strange occurrences here recently? We're here on a mission from our commander. If you have any information, please tell us."

"Commander?" the old man asked, looking at the three of them with a questioning tone.

"Yes! Commander Althea Eberlock. She sent us here." In fact, this name was inquired about in advance by the Imperial Guard; it was the name of the highest-ranking officer of the night watch here.

The old man heard Sun Busong speak the name of the night watchman, and now he believed him. He stood up and walked to Sun Busong's side, examining him closely.

"Hmm! It's a Dwarf race Warrior, no doubt. Then I happen to have something to ask of you, but are you sure you can handle this mission?"

This old man still looked down on the three of them a little.

Usop stepped forward and activated his defensive aura, causing layers of holy fluctuations to surge around the three of them.

"Old man, just give us whatever you need done. We're all very capable."

"Heh heh, alright then."

The old man turned around and sat back on his bed, then said to them, "What can a poor old man like me do anymore? I need to retrieve something from Night Town, but the journey is too far, and I'm too old... I really can't walk anymore."

"Can you go to Night Town and get me some Ghost's Hair? You can ask Mrs. Iva for it. Her home is next to the square in Night Town."

This old man was either playing dumb or had just assigned them a terrifying mission!

Getting hair from a Ghost!

"Holy crap!"

Alas, a reader has been urging me to update ten thousand characters daily for several times. To thank him, I put in the effort today and delivered a ten-thousand-character update.

To this reader, Xian Zhe, I have fulfilled my promise!

Please invest, follow, vote for recommendations, collect, comment, and sign a contract!

Once again, thanks to readers like [Protagonist's Background Board], [Yu Wei], [Huang Qishan], [Am I Human in Reality 0818], [A Wanderer], [Thousand Holes Clothing], etc.

I will strive to keep writing!
