Chapter 1539: Chapter 773: Beishi Mercenary Corps’ Tight Defense (Part 2)

Lin Beichen humorously explained, "Focus on driving your car; I’m holding the gun not to kill you but to teach Aixius how to use it."

Seeing Li Kui so timid, Aixius couldn’t help but mock him, "You were disturbing the public last night, and now you know fear?"

"Coward."

Lin Beichen handed the pistol to Aixius, "There are no people outside now; you can shoot a few rounds from inside the car for practice."

"But watch out for recoil, don’t injure your wrist."

Lin Beichen added.

Aixius felt a slight joy in his heart.

He’s starting to care about me, great, it seems he’s not a blockhead after all.

"Yeah, I’ll be careful." Aixius took the pistol, prepared for a while, and then shot a few rounds out the car window.

With a background in Martial Arts, Aixius found learning to shoot quite effortless.

Before long, her shooting posture became quite proper.

Then, Lin Beichen reviewed the gun assembly process with her.

Having something to do, the two of them didn’t find the car ride boring, and time flew by.

However, the most pitiful was definitely Li Kui, the driver.

Driving is mentally exhausting, especially several hours nonstop.

As the sun began to set in the west, Lin Beichen and co. finally neared Wood Stone Town.

Li Kui was driving and suddenly said to Lin Beichen behind him, "Wood Stone Town is just up ahead."

Indeed, after the car turned a corner, a simple town appeared before them.

A sign stood beside the town, boldly displaying the words "Wood Stone Town."

Li Kui stopped the car at the entrance of the town.

Then, the three got out one by one.

Aixius touched her stomach and laughed, "Finally here, I’m about to starve."

Lin Beichen turned to Li Kui and said, "You’re free now; go wherever you want."

As always, he was a man of his words; since Li Kui brought him to Wood Stone Town, he wouldn’t pursue previous matters.

Afterward, Lin Beichen planned to take Emily to find a restaurant for a meal.

At this moment, Li Kui saw that Lin Beichen wasn’t joking and did intend to let him go, but he suddenly didn’t know where to go.

Originally a drifter with no fixed abode, at this moment, his curiosity about Lin Beichen’s purpose intrigued him.

After hesitating for a while, he hurriedly caught up, trailing behind Lin Beichen and Emily.

Seeing Li Kui still following him, Lin Beichen joked, "What, have you become addicted to being a driver?"

"Do you plan to take us back when it’s time to leave?"

Knowing Lin Beichen was joking, Li Kui bantered back, "Yeah, I’d help all the way through."

Unexpectedly, this statement later made Li Kui regret it immensely.

Lin Beichen, not taking this as a joke, laughed and said, "Alright, you said it."

Then, the three entered a farmhouse restaurant together.

Though the restaurant’s environment looked shabby, the food tasted quite good.

None of the three had lunch, so when the dishes were served, they devoured them voraciously.

"Boss, add another pot of rice!" Li Kui shouted unceremoniously.

Anyone would think he was the one treating for this meal.

Emily also asked the owner for more dishes.

At this point, Li Kui half-jokingly said, "The way we eat, it seems like there’s no next meal, like it’s our last supper."

Upon hearing this, Emily felt uneasy. Li Kui didn’t know their purpose, but she was well aware.

They were going to the Beishi Mercenary Corps, and Li Kui’s ominous words annoyed her immensely, prompting her to curse, "Keep your mouth shut if you can’t talk!"

"Even food can’t block your mouth!"

Li Kui was speechless, thinking to himself that it was just a joke.

Such a big reaction?

Hmm?

Could they be going to do something dangerous?

Thinking about this, Li Kui couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly are you guys doing here in Wood Stone Town?"

"This place isn’t that entertaining, is it?"

"Play play play, all you know is play!" Emily, already discontent with Li Kui, found his remarks in her presence annoying.

Just because of Li Kui’s ominous words, Emily held grudges like most women.

Lin Beichen didn’t mind; he never believed in curses or ominous words, only relied on himself.

Facing Li Kui’s probing, Lin Beichen smiled and said seriously, "Do you really want to know?"

"Once you know, you truly won’t be able to escape."

Finally, Lin Beichen said mysteriously.

Li Kui seemed to sense Lin Beichen might do something dangerous; yet, he was a curious person.

Not knowing the truth, he felt a clawing cat in his heart, itched unbearably.

Forget it, I’m idle anyway; better to tag along Lin Beichen for some excitement.

After pondering for a bit, Li Kui said, "I’ve decided, I’ll follow you! Hurry and say, what’s your purpose here?"

"Actually, this is just a stopover; my real destination is the Beishi Mercenary Corps."

Seeing the kid insistent on tagging along, Lin Beichen didn’t mind the extra people; for him, the more chaotic the crowd, the more advantageous.

Who knows, he might be useful when needed.

Hearing Lin Beichen say he was going to the Beishi Mercenary Corps, Li Kui was shocked.

He remembered how he’d forgotten the Beishi Mercenary Corps near Wood Stone Town.

Then, he directly asked, "What are you doing at the Beishi Mercenary Corps?"

Linking to danger, Li Kui continued guessing, "Don’t tell me you’re going to take on the Beishi Mercenary Corps members!"

"You’re not wrong, we’re indeed dealing with them, and we must eliminate their senior members." Lin Beichen’s words were truly shocking.

Li Kui’s face instantly changed and he asked hurriedly, "Is it still possible for me to get off now?"

"It’s too late; you know my plan now; I can’t let you out of my sight."

"Otherwise, you would indeed..." saying this, Lin Beichen pulled out his handgun.

Seeing this, Li Kui immediately cowered and quickly said, "Just kidding, how could I leave the car? I’m the driver."

"What are the Beishi Mercenary Corps anyway, let’s go, the three of us will take them on today!"

"No need to rush; vigorous movement after meals isn’t advisable." Lin Beichen patted his belly and continued.

"Also, it’s better to act at night, let’s rest in Wood Stone Town first."

Upon hearing this, Li Kui felt relieved.

Despite his earlier bold words and eagerness to take on the Beishi Mercenary Corps, it was all an act for Lin Beichen.

He feared not going might result in Lin Beichen shooting him directly.

Now presented with a chance to rest in Wood Stone Town, Li Kui was already contemplating getting an opportunity to escape.

As for taking on the Beishi Mercenary Corps, he didn’t genuinely care.

Walking down the street, Li Kui wished he could slap himself, grumbling internally: why am I so curious?

If I knew earlier, after dropping them off at Wood Stone Town, I should’ve distanced myself and gone our separate ways.

Why did I have to follow them?

This group is practically crazy, attempting to take on the Beishi Mercenary Corps.

"Li Kui, over here, what are you spacing out for?"

Emily frowned slightly, looking displeased.

Li Kui didn’t respond, merely quickening his pace to catch up.

Then, he silently followed Lin Beichen and Emily, eyes darting around, searching for a chance to escape.

After observing for a while, Li Kui realized, Emily and Lin Beichen knew they would challenge the Beishi Mercenary Corps tonight, basically a suicide mission.

Yet, these two weren’t afraid, leisurely strolling around Wood Stone Town.

This struck him as odd and incredible.

If Lin Beichen wasn’t fearful, Li Kui made excuses for himself, thinking he was brave because of skill.

But this Emily, she didn’t seem like an adept person at all.
