Together 2

31. Troublemakers

"Who the hell are you?" One alpha said arrogantly. "Poor bastard lost his head." The person who came simply looked at them with anger and hatred in his eyes. One of the alphas lunged forward and tried to grab the newcomer's collar, but the alpha simply hit the ruffian between the legs with his sword. The alpha cried in pain and knelt down. "You crazy bastard!" One person shouted as he rushed towards the pretty alpha who just arrived.

"You're gonna die today!" One of the ruffians tried to hit the pretty alpha, but the latter simply dodged their punch and punched their gut, making him cough out a mouthful of blood and fall down to the floor. The pretty alpha boy kept fighting against the ruffians, jumping up and kicking their faces and dodging them as much as he could as he backflipped and landed on the ground again.

"Master!" A young beta came running towards the fighting alpha, feeling terrified. 'Master Xiao! If you get hurt because of this...' That alpha who was beating them up, was none other than Xiao Zhan, and his servant was none other than Yu Bin. They both were disguised an alpha and a beta. Suddenly, the Yu Bin felt a hand on his shoulder, making him turn around and see Cao Yuchen. "Which family is your master from?" He asked, making Yu Bin blush and moved away before responding.

"That... is Tang San, the third son of Tang Hao of the swordsmith village." The Yu Bin replied, making Cao Yuchen stare at 'Tang San'. Xiao Zhan had just finished beating up the alphas and simply looked down at them, as they kept crying in pain. "Oi scumbags. I'll be the one to stop your vile deeds the next time you bully people. "Get out of here!" The harassed omegas shouted, humiliating the alphas even more.

"Just wait and see!" The ruffian said angrily, making Xiao Zhan smirk. The omegas rushed towards Xiao Zhan. "Thank you, sir! We were saved because of you. Are you travelling? If you aren't, may I offer you a meal as a token of gratitude?" One of the omegas said, making Xiao Zhan smile. "I'm glad you're okay. But I politely decline your offer. I'm currently a bit busy, I apologize." "Master, let's go to the inn now." A-Yao said as he tugged Cao Yuchen's clothes, making him leave. However, he turned around to look at Tang San one more time.

Xiao Zhan sighed and touched his wig, making sure it was still in place. 'God. Trying on this disguise seemed harder than training the mana sword.' "Master. We need to go and meet Sir Yi Zhou now." Yu Bin said, making Xiao Zhan nod. "Right. Let's go now."

"Master Xiao. You're late." Wang Yi Zhou said when he saw Xiao Zhan enter the bar. "My apologies Sir Yi Zhou. I ran into some scumbags who were trying to harass a few omegas on the way." Xiao Zhan apologized before taking a seat in front of Wang Yi Zhou. "Have you gotten what I asked for?" "Yes. Here they are." Saying so, Wang Yi Zhou pushed a few flyers towards Xiao Zhan, who analyzed them carefully.

All of the flyers were recruitment offers for knights. However, Xiao Zhan liked the recruitment letter of the one he saw a few days ago in the flyer more than any of the offers Wang Yi Zhou proposed to him. "Is something wrong, Master Xiao?" Wang Yi Zhou asked.

"Actually, I came across one opening for knights for alphas from common backgrounds a few days ago." Xiao Zhan said as he pulled out a flyer from his dress, making Wang Yi Zhou look at it. "I was actually planning on joining here." "You want to apply to the knights of honor?!" Wang Yi Zhou asked, feeling stunned.

"Yes. Is there a problem?" Xiao Zhan asked. "More than a problem... the knights of honor is a new order of knights that was founded only two years ago. The identity of their sponsor is still a mystery too. They're even recruiting commoners like farmers from rice paddies. So they aren't in good order yet. Wouldn't that be dangerous?" Wang Yi Zhou asked.

"Actually, I think places like Yong An's knights is even more dangerous. Given how I just caused a stir in the public, if any of the nobles recognize me, it's going to be a disaster." Xiao Zhan said as he took a gulp of his wine. "Still..." Wang Yi Zhou was skeptical.

"More than anything, I like the idea of giving equal opportunities without considering the status of the people they're recruiting." Xiao Zhan said with a smile, making Wang Yi Zhou smile. "Since you've already made up your mind, it can't be helped." "Ha ha. My father said the same thing." At that moment, an omega waiter came over and placed a plate of food on their table. "Please accept this as a token of gratitude sir." He said, his face turning pink. He was one of the omegas whom Xiao Zhan had saved.

"Luo Yunxi! We're in trouble!" The other omega came rushing inside the bar, making everyone look at him. "Deng Lun's gang is back!" "What's wrong with Deng Lun's gang?" Xiao Zhan asked, making him look at him. "My Lord!" The omega rushed to Xiao Zhan's side and gripped his arms, nearly begging him. "My Lord, I'm in trouble! Deng Lun's gang took the wrong person when trying to get revenge on you!" The omega cried, stunning Xiao Zhan.
