“I’ll pick Charm then. They’re cheap and I get to see some beautiful girls. I’ll have eye candies and the expenditure isn’t huge as well since I have to maintain their Mechs, right?” Garen did his research on this aspect.
“Indeed. The Mech’s maintenance cost is within the tens of thousands per month bracket and that isn’t considered expensive at all. I knew that you would have chosen Charm. This is a newly formed mercenary group and they’re cheaper because they aren’t that well known. Furthermore, they are willing to do their best to get their name out there,” Geen started smirking.
“Hey, didn’t you just say that they’re on vacation here? And now they’re a newly formed group?” Garen felt that he was being cheated.
“Don’t worry about it. They definitely have the quality and you’ll get to see the pretty girls. Isn’t it a win-win situation? The Charm mercenary group consists of pure, charming enchanting, busty girls. There’s a variety of them~~” Geen said enticingly.
“This…” Garen acted as if he was in a dilemma as this was the kind of his reaction that he should possess for his p.u.b.erty age.
“Believe in me. It’ll be fine!” Geen held onto Garen’s shoulder as he said with a smile on his face. “What’s most important is that they’re seriously lacking male populations in the Maria Region. One of the main reason they came here is to find an outstanding male to leave his seeds for them. Do you know what I mean?” His smile became even more perverted as he continued.
Leaving his seeds…
Garen had heard of such a rumor where the population of male to female ratio in the Maria Region was one to nine. There were very few numbers of males in the region, so much so that the whole country was governed by females. There were also a lot of rumors in the Maria Region that the girls didn’t wish to be married and yet wished to enjoy life and give birth to offsprings. Hence such a behavior had sprung about.
Once they had found an outstanding male, they would spend some time with him and lead a ‘breeding’ lifestyle. Once they had obtained the seeds they would return back to their country.
“Are you saying that this mercenary group…” Garen’s eyelid started twitching.
“You’re correct. Their other motive is what you’re thinking right now…” Geen started smirking.
In order to maintain their population count of Maria Domain, the seeding phenomena were very common among the females from the Maria Domain. However, it was rare for a group of beautiful women to seek a breeder together.
Furthermore, rumor had it that the women from that region were very dominant and initiative. If they were to get married to a man, the man would be fated to stay at home and do the house ch.o.r.es, taking care of the kids and supporting the woman from behind…
There were even unrestrained women who liked prost.i.tution where they would find handsome men from foreign countries to have a go with them…
However, it was for the best…
Frankly speaking, Garen wasn’t even interested in the strength of the mercenary group. These maids could only be used to run some errands at best. In case he encountered any trouble, he could push the blame to the mercenary group to avoid any unnecessary trouble as well.
With his current physical strength, he could kill everyone in the vicinity with ten steps or less, including the elites who possessed level three Willpower. Garen’s martial arts were so great that they wouldn’t even have the time to activate their Willpower before dying to Garen’s attack.
However, once there was a distance between them or he was fighting against a Mech, he would be powerless as he would be seriously threatened by just pure Willpower alone.
Furthermore, there were all sorts of protections on a Mech as well. Fortunately, there were very few people permitted to operate a mech in the Blackboard Region so it wasn’t much of a concern.
“I guess it’s decided then. I’ll rely on you to get them here when the time comes,” Garen had determined that money was just a number to him at this point. He had managed to purchase the level three training methods that he wanted within a short amount of time. Furthermore, money wasn’t required for him to train his Peac.o.c.k Technique and the main purpose of him hiring mercenaries was to protect his family and cover himself up.
The mercenary group’s purpose wasn’t just as simple as accepting every protection mission, he would also need them to fight against that technique as well… He simply needed to react to the situation rather than having to protect himself against any ambushes.
“I’ll handle it!” Geen patted his own chest.
***************
Clang!
Clint dug himself out from the ruins with difficulty as he pushed aside the metal sc.r.a.ps above his head. Dust was floating about in the air and he couldn’t see his surroundings clearly.
“Lon!!”
He started shouting.
There was no reaction…
Clint was completely covered in dirt and had small wounds all over him. His s.h.i.+rt had been torn into sc.r.a.ps and it looked like a ragged cloth.
“Lon! Where are you?” he shouted as his face started to turn anxious.
“He… Here…” suddenly, a fragile-sounding voice came from behind.
Clint immediately turned around and saw a person whose face couldn’t be recognized and was as dirty as him under the ruins.
He recognized that it was Lon’s voice and immediately went forward and pushed the junk away from him.
“You alright?”
“I’m fine… Just some slight injuries,” it was a miracle that Lon hadn’t been seriously injured and was able to live from that explosion.
“That explosion earlier…” Clint recalled what had transpired just a moment ago.
“Was a fart! Run for your life!” Red Moon’s voice came from beside him.
“Master Red Moon!” Clint was very happy to see him. “Did you protect us?”
“Naturally! Pack up and let’s scram out of here! Your boss has just used all of his acc.u.mulated strength to protect you, but we’ll all be dead even if a mosquito decides to attack us!” although Red Moon spoke arrogantly, a faint note of fragility could be heard in his tone.
“The Mech a.s.sembly is fine. Please take this,” as Red Moon finished speaking, Clint saw a red vortex suddenly appearing in front of him. Then an item flew out of the vortex and dropped into his hand.
This red item resembled a nail clipper yet at the same time, it looked like a clamp. It was the length of half a finger and there were numbers and symbols which was almost worn off as they looked very faint. It seemed to have existed for a very long time.
“What is this?”
Out of curiosity, Clint tried to figure out what it was.
“How can you be so dense! Do as I say, quickly! We need to gather up all the stuff that we have obtained. Take only the good ones and ignore the rest! Quick!! Trouble is just around the corner!” Red Moon scolded.
“DId… someone speak?” finally, Baylon who was standing at one side finally spoke up. “Is it a communication device?”
“You idiot. Help me this instant! You’re Baylon, right? I’ve sacrificed a lot for your level one Willpower. If you’re useless in this situation, how are you supposed to warm the bed up for Clint!” Red Moon didn’t care if Baylon had accepted any of this as he directed his anger towards him.
“Huh?” after hearing what he’d said, not just Baylon, even Clint was stunned.
“This guy is a fake. He’d returned back to his original form after his Willpower was modified. Stop acting as if it was a strange thing!” Red Moon replied unhappily.
“A fake… ” Clint then stared at Baylon with his eyes wide open. “Master Red Moon. Do you mean that… Lon… Lon is a girl!!” He increased his tone.
“Don’t worry about it. She’s a beauty,” Red Moon said with a perverted face. “It’s been a while I’ve watched an adult video. You guys should do the deed in front of me after this. Entertainment these days are truly boring!”
Both Clint and Baylon started blus.h.i.+ng as they stood still in the ruins, not know what to do.
“You idiots. Start packing the stuff and run! Why the f*ck are you still standing there!” Red Moon couldn’t hold back and started spewing vulgarities once more.
“Okay… okay..” two of them replied immediately.
That small item was stupidly easy to use. One just had to aim at the item that one wanted to pack and gently press onto it. The items would then vanish as if it was swallowed into another dimension.
The packing was finished in a very short amount of time. After picking up the well-conditioned goods, both of them ran towards a deserted river bank and called Clint’s sister with the Watch Terminal at the same time so that she could send someone over with a new set of clean clothes.

Bam!!
A pair of white and black Mechs collided strongly against each other. Wielding a sword with only one of its arms, the Black Mech lightly gestured with its right hand and a black frisbee suddenly appeared in the sky, flying forth at high speed. It spun as it tried to cut through the White Mech. It formed a black line as it came down from the sky, but it was instantly sent away by the opponent’s attack.
Surrounding them was the wilderness of the Blackboard Doman’s outskirts. Not far away from here, there was another Black Mech aiming at the White Mech and attempting to snipe it. Both Black Mechs had a Blackboard emblem on them
“Matthew!” the Black Mech which was engaged in the battle shouted as it immediately backed off.
Boom!!
A clear laser cannon was shot and landed on the back of the White Mech, which made it stagger. However, it was very strange as there were no signs of injuries on the White Mech as if the cannon had been completely ineffective against it.
“With my Weakening Field activated, all long-range attacks will never be able to leave a scratch on my Mech. How can you still not get it after trying so many times?” The White Mech said as a green diamond-shaped crystal could be seen on its front. The crystal was faintly reflecting the sunlight, giving off an illusion that it was glowing.
“Even if it’s ineffective, at least it can exhaust your WIllpower and Mech’s Power Source,” the Black Mech which was in close combat replied.
“How foolish. Both of your strengths are level four at best. Even if you had perfect coordination, you could only delay me for that little bit. Can’t Blackboard send a stronger person than you to fight me?” the White Mech looked around. “Oh right. Where has that cute little girl run off to? I love my girls to be under eighteen heh. Furthermore, she’s pretty good looking too. If you’re willing to hand over her to me, I’ll consider letting you guys live.”
“Go to h.e.l.l!”
Matthew fired off another cannon shot from afar and hit the White Mech’s head. However, there was no effect and only a small wisp of white smoke drifted from its head.
“What kind of monster is he!! Even the level five instructors in the academy aren’t this powerful!” Boris stared at the red white Mech as despair started to overwhelm him.
His close combat skills were overwhelmingly powerful and long-range attacks didn’t work on him as all incoming projectiles within an area of a hundred meters would be slowed down, decreasing its energy source and its potency.
