Familiar Boss

Chapter 75
Ang De also saw people's admiring glances at Su Ke, as well as the words of praise for him.

"See, after you helped the miners in the mine get rid of Nathan's gang last time, people respected you very much." Ang De was proud of Su Ke.

"How did they know that I did it?" Su Ke was not complacent because of those compliments, but asked doubtfully.

After hearing this, Ang De saw Su Ke looking at him with strange eyes, he didn't know how to answer Su Ke, so he hesitated and changed the subject.

"By the way, you said you didn't come to the mine to sign up as a miner, so what are you here for?" Unde asked.

Su Ke asked back: "Didn't you hear that something strange happened here last night?"

"Oh! You came here for this?" Unde asked curiously.

Su Ke nodded, and replied truthfully: "Yes, Captain Chopper commissioned Allen Tavern to issue a mercenary mission, so I came here to investigate."

"Hey! Did you join the job as a mercenary?" Onder looked at Su Ke in surprise when he heard this.

"Yes, a few days ago, I just joined the job not long ago." Su Ke said with a modest smile.

"Sure! Boy, it seems that you have grown your ambition! You have become a mercenary! It's amazing!" Ang De was proud of Su Ke when he saw that Su Ke had improved.

"As a mercenary, it would be very dangerous to perform tasks normally." Onder suddenly began to worry about Su Ke again.

"Dangerous, it depends on who it is!" Su Ke pretended to be very capable, deliberately pretending to show Ang De.

Ang De smiled and said: "Boy, don't be too complacent, but it's important to protect your life at all times!"

Seeing what Ang De said, Su Ke was really reminding him that Ang De didn't want Su Ke to do anything.

"Old man, do you know what happened last night?" Su Ke wanted to get some information from Ang De.

"We only came here during the day. We didn't see what happened here at night, but when I came here this morning, I did see a pool of blood." Ang De tried hard to recall.

"Is there anything else?" Su Ke continued to ask.

Unde thought for a while and said, "There are also some strange footprints, not like human footprints, but like footprints of some unknown creature."

Su Ke nodded: "Is there anything else?"

"No more." Ang De shook his head.

"Okay, thank you. I'll look around." Su Ke turned around after speaking, intending to look around the outside of the Blackstone Mine.

"Hey! Su Ke!" Seeing Su Ke turned and left, Ang De hurriedly stopped him.

"What for?" Su Ke stopped and turned around to ask in confusion.

"Let me go with you. I heard that monster is quite dangerous." Unde said, and ran over.

"Unde, I know what you want to do, but even you said that the monster is very dangerous. I will have a chance to protect myself, but I won't be able to protect you."

When Onder heard Su Ke's words, he felt that following Su Ke was indeed unnecessary, and he was more likely to become a burden to him.

"Okay, if you don't want me to follow, forget it, go back! Su Ke, you kid, be careful, don't lose your life!" Ang De turned around briskly after speaking, turned his back to Su Ke and left slowly.

"Su Ke, I hope nothing happens to you." Under said worriedly in his heart.

Seeing that Ang De understood what he meant and left without following him, Su Ke was relieved.

"Master, this old buddy Ang De is not bad." Xiao Hei said on Su Ke's shoulder.

"Yes, leave him alone, did you see anything there just now?" Su Ke said to Xiao Hei.

"Master, maybe a passing miner stepped on the scene, so I couldn't see anything." Xiao Hei didn't find anything either.

"Yes, the first scene has been destroyed. If nothing can be seen around here, we can only stay here tonight." Su Ke said, looking at the sparse jungle in the distance.

As night fell, Su Ke walked around the Blackstone Mine in the middle of the night, but still found nothing unusual.

In the end, Su Ke had no choice but to go back to the gate of the Blackstone Mine and wait, because that was the first scene of the crime, and if the monster still appeared tonight, it would definitely appear there.

"who!"

"who!"

The movement made by Su Ke as he approached the gate of the mine alarmed the soldiers guarding the mine.

Holding up their torches and long swords, they looked at Su Ke in the darkness outside the gate through the thick wooden fence in horror and concentration.

"Don't panic, don't panic, it's me, it's me, the mercenary who came here this afternoon." Su Ke smiled and said in a soothing tone.

These guards stretched out torches through the gate of the thick wooden fence to illuminate the place where Su Ke was. After seeing clearly that it was Su Ke, they relaxed and cursed angrily.
"Damn it! Why are you a kid again!"

"Damn scared me to death!"

"who is he?"

"The mercenaries who came in the afternoon said they were mercenaries who came to investigate the abnormal creature last night."

"Boy, get out of here!"

Seeing that the guards recognized him, Su Ke was relieved.

Hearing these people chase him away, Su Ke said with a smile: "I'm here to treat you better! With me standing outside, if that monster appears, it must be the first to catch me."

After hearing this, the guards felt that what Su Ke said was correct, the monster was standing where Su Ke was standing last night.

"Yes, he was right!"

"Just let him stand there. If the monster appears, he will definitely be captured first."

"This idiot stands there as a meat bun for us, so he can rest assured tonight."

"If the monster really appears outside, we must not go out to help him, just keep us here."

"Okay! Just stand there, kid!"

Su Ke was very happy when he saw that the guards agreed with him to stay there.

"Master, have you heard what these people said?" Xiao Hei said to Su Ke.

"I heard." Su Ke replied lightly.

"We came to help them investigate the monster with good intentions, but they called us fools and told us not to help us when the monster appeared." Xiao Hei was very upset.

"These people are such selfish people. We came here for the mission, not to help them." Su Ke looked around vigilantly and said.

"It's just, aren't we here to help them in the end?" Xiao Hei still couldn't let go of the grievance in his heart.

"Don't think too much. It's late at night. From now on, if the monster appears, it may appear at any time. Pay attention to observe the surroundings." Su Ke's senses were raised to the highest alert state.

"what!"

"A monster appeared!"

"Help!"

Suddenly, screams, calls for help and other panicked sounds were heard in the mine.
