Future Beast World: Pampered by beautiful women, many children and good fortune

Chapter 36: Encountering Lan Cang Again

Lan Ruo had just returned home from the academy when he saw someone sitting on the sofa.

The man had short, spiky black hair and a stern face. He was tall and upright, and his slightly tight combat uniform, which he hadn't taken off, outlined the smooth, firm lines of his muscles.

"Brother! What brings you home today? Are you staying for a few days this time?"

The man was applying medicine to a wound on his arm, wrapping it with a white bandage. Hearing this, he looked towards the doorway, "I came back to see you. I'm leaving tomorrow. How was the entrance exam?"

"I passed the test. My score was pretty good, ranked 139th, and I got into the combat department."

Lan Ruo quickly changed into slippers and entered the house, tidying up the clutter on the table.

"Yeah, I know you've always wanted to go there."

"The Allens Military Academy has the best teachers in the Empire. The graduating students are snatched up by the entire West Continent. In the future, I'll be able to help you, brother."

Lan Ruo looked at the man, suddenly feeling a little sad.

Actually, his brother probably wanted to go too, but he couldn't afford the tuition back then and was rejected by the academy.

Part of his desire to rise above the ranks at the Allens Military Academy was to fulfill his brother's wish from back then. Lan Ruo said with some reluctance, "Actually, the beastmen at Allens Academy aren't that great. Many of them are not as good as you, brother. If you had gone to Allens Military Academy back then, you would definitely have been a leader…"

The man smiled and didn't say much. He turned and went to the kitchen, "To celebrate you successfully entering Allens Academy, what do you want to eat today? I'll show you my skills."

"Your cooking is the best, brother. Since you joined the mercenary group, I haven't tasted your cooking in a long time."

Lan Ruo also came to help, talking about what happened during the competition. He became more talkative, "Those aristocratic children aren't that great either. Some of them are no different from the thugs in the slums!"

"At the time, several people surrounded me, trying to snatch my token. Fortunately, someone helped me. She, she was a female…"

As he spoke, his voice trailed off. The man had also experienced a naive and ignorant youth, so how could he not understand his little thoughts? He chuckled, "You like her?"

"No, no."

Lan Ruo quickly denied, his face even redder, "She helped me, and I'm very grateful to her. She's like an older sister, similar to the feeling you give me, brother."

"She, like you, has lightning-based talent and uses golden lightning…"

"Bang!"

Lan Ruo had just stepped into the kitchen when he heard a crisp sound. He was stunned as he looked at the broken pots and pans all over the floor, "Brother, what, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. My hand is injured, and it hasn't healed yet. I accidentally slipped just now…"

The man lowered his head, facing away from him, so he couldn't see his expression. His voice was a little hoarse, "She, she has lightning-based talent?"

Lan Ruo quickly grabbed a broom and dustpan to clean up the broken pieces on the floor, subconsciously responding, "Yes, this is the first time in my life that I've seen someone with the same talent as you, brother. She's very strong and should be a seventh-order beastman. It's the first time I've met such a strong female. She should be a female from some great family."

The man didn't say anything else, laughing bitterly. What was he hoping for? She was already dead, dead in the beast tide.

It was his incompetence that he didn't protect her. It had become the greatest pain of his life.

Until after dinner, the man didn't say a word, silent and repressed.

Before going back to his room to rest in the evening, he gave Lan Ruo a bag of crystals and asked, "Expenses in the capital are quite high. Is your recent living allowance enough?"

"Yes, it's enough."

Lan Ruo was embarrassed to accept it, but with his current financial ability, he really couldn't refuse. Thinking about the tuition expenses at the academy later, he lowered his head, "Brother, actually, I've found a few odd jobs in the capital. I can take care of my living expenses myself in the future, so I won't bother you anymore."

"You're still young. Just focus on studying. You don't have to worry about anything else."

"Brother, you're going on a mission again? Won't you rest for another night?"

Seeing him put on his coat and leave again, Lan Ruo felt even more ashamed. His brother had worked too hard for him for many years.

Just because he was his only relative.

His brother was a very emotional person. Because of his childhood experiences, he envied those beastmen who had families and relatives, and he desperately longed for a family as an emotional haven, but he had never found a suitable one. Lan Ruo always felt that he was a burden to his brother, and his eyes suddenly became a little red, "Otherwise, I should just drop out of school. This school in Ouro City is actually pretty good…"

"Don't talk nonsense. I promised Father Beast and Mother Beast to raise you until you're 18 and watch you grow into an adult."

The man patted him on the shoulder. In a few more years, he would almost catch up to him in height, "Once you finish school, I won't have any more worries…"

Lan Ruo always felt that his words were a little strange, with a hint of sadness in his smile, but he really couldn't put his finger on it, so he thought it was just his imagination and smiled, "You're speaking too soon, brother. When you start a family in the future and have children with the partner you love, I can help take care of the little nephew beast when you're away on business."

Lan Cang retracted his hand. No, there would be no future.

…

The Underground Black Market.

The illegal forbidden zone of the West Continent, where everything is for sale, even lives.

The beastmen who come to trade are all wearing thick gray robes and strange masks, concealing their identities.

The man turned the corner into an underground bar. The beastman at the front desk mixed a pre-mixed drink and handed it to him, smiling, "Honored guest, it's been a long time. The boss thought you had already retired."

"Take me to see your boss."

"The big boss is not here. The second boss came out of that place a few days ago and came to Ouro City specifically to see you. Please come inside, honored guest. He has been waiting for you for a long time."

The beastman at the front desk pressed a mechanism next to the right hand side of the counter. A door opened in the wall, leading him into the secret passage to the real underground trading place beneath the bar.

The second boss mentioned by the beastman was a burly and powerful middle-aged tiger beastman with a buzz cut, a wide face, and muscles on his arms knotted like rocks, covered with black tattoos.

He had a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the person who came, smiling, "Lan Cang, didn't you submit a request to withdraw from the organization a few days ago, saying you wanted to live a normal and stable life? I heard… you found a beautiful little female? Why are you back now, short on money? Or were you dumped by the little female?"

Lan Cang was expressionless, his pressure extremely cold, "I don't want to talk nonsense. Give me all the tasks in the organization."

The other male beastmen in the room looked at Lan Cang, all somewhat stunned. Since he returned to the organization a few days ago, he had taken on no less than a hundred tasks in just two months, all of them S-rank or higher!

He used to be desperate when taking on missions, but who isn't desperate for money? But this time, he seemed to have become a complete killing machine. It wasn't necessarily for money, but more like he was trying to numb himself with blood and slaughter...

Black Arm Tiger Beast extinguished the cigarette in his hand and smiled mysteriously, "There's a big deal here, want to take it?"

"Take it."

"Are you sure? This is a 3S-level assassination order. I've sent out dozens of people during this time, all top experts within the organization, but all the assassinations have failed, and none of them have returned alive."

"Doesn't matter." Lan Cang no longer cared about life or death, "How much money can I get after completing this deal?"

"Hahaha, I knew it was right to find you. Who doesn't know that 'Lone Wolf' has been entrusted with missions for many years and has never failed? You are also the most trusted talent within the organization. The reward for this deal will definitely not disappoint you." The tiger beastman took out a wanted order and handed it to him, smiling, "Countless glory, wealth beyond your imagination."

Lan Cang took the wanted order and looked at it, "Is it that General of the Allans Empire?"

"Yes, it's that damn guy! A few days ago, he wiped out a whole nest of my brothers and even locked me up in prison. I finally bribed those people in the prison to escape, and my family fortune is gone. I want him to pay with blood!"

Lan Cang sneered, "That one is a King Beast. No one in the organization can kill him."

"Heh, I didn't spend this money for nothing. So what if we can't kill the King Beast? That King Beast now has a little female with him, and I heard she's pregnant. He's watching her closely. If we can capture that female to threaten him..."

"You know, I never lay a hand on females." His voice sank.

The black tiger beastman nodded to a beastman next to him, who threw him a gun, "This is the latest Mk--570. It can directly headshot beastmen below the seventh rank, but I haven't tested its effect on King Beasts."

Lan Cang took the weapon, was silent for a moment, and said, "If the mission fails, this money..."

"Heh heh, don't forget that you yourself are also among the top ten bounty hunters on the wanted list. Then consider it us buying your life. Your brother's tuition is enough."

...

On the yacht.

Sang Luo lay on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze and eating flavored seafood. It was such a delight.

Caesar walked over from behind and touched her ear, "Are you feeling okay? Are you seasick?"

"How many more days until we arrive?"

"About half a month. What's wrong? Do you want to go back?"

"No, it's very comfortable here. I want to stay here for a while longer ~"

Caesar chartered a yacht, ostensibly to take Sang Luo out to relax and unwind, but actually, he had discussed it with her privately. He wanted to take her back to the Eastern Continent to give birth. After half a month, when they arrive in the Eastern Continent, it will almost be time for her to give birth.

The beastmen who delivered the food brought dozens of pots of fish, shrimp, shellfish, and delicacies. Sang Luo ate with relish.

Beastmen are naturally more fond of eating raw meat, but the beastmen of the Western Continent have passed the barbaric period and mostly eat cooked meat. Seafood is mostly sashimi. Sang Luo touched her belly. This child seems to like eating raw meat very much.

Having gotten used to Sang Luo's bottomless appetite these days, Caesar is no longer nervous. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, smiling, "Are you still hungry? Just tell me if there's anything you want to eat. There are several sea beast beastmen on board who can go into the sea to catch any ingredients we don't have."

"Hey, I'm going to eat you broke!"

"Don't worry, can't I afford to support you? I'm just afraid you won't eat well." Caesar handed her a few more purple crystals, "Use these for now. When we get to the Eastern Continent, there are many natural treasures and the star beasts are even stronger than those in the Western Continent. I'll hunt some higher-level star beasts for you."

After the meal, a waiter came to clear the table. The beastman lowered his head and glanced at Sang Luo, almost imperceptibly.

Sang Luo was sleepy again after eating and didn't notice the gaze. Caesar paused, lowered his head, kissed her face, and smiled gently, "I'll carry you back to rest first. I have some things to deal with and may have to leave for a while."

Sang Luo hummed softly and was carefully carried by him to the room in the cabin.

A certain room on the top floor.

A faint, tall figure appeared behind the slightly opened curtains.

In the scope, the target appeared.

Just before pressing down, the female in the man's arms slightly turned her face, revealing half of her delicate face, with black hair, snowy skin, and bright red lips...

The gun instantly slipped from his hand.

*

Strange.

Sang Luo seemed to sense something and turned her head to look in one direction. The room was empty and there was no one there. The window was half-open and the curtains were swaying slightly, "...You chartered the yacht, there aren't any other tourists, right?"

"Besides the two of us and the dozens of staff members on the yacht, there is no one else."

Caesar's voice was still very gentle, but somewhat unpredictable, "Alright, Sang Sang, you rest first. Don't come out before dark. I'll handle everything else."

"..."

At night, Sang Luo was awakened by the sound of gunfire outside.

Caesar hadn't come back yet. Could something have happened outside?

She thought of Caesar's warning during the day. It seemed he already knew about tonight's changes.

Caesar has been in a high position for many years and must have encountered assassinations more than once, but what's different from the past is that this time he brought a female with him. Caesar was probably afraid of scaring her, so he didn't tell her the truth.

Caesar is strong, but those desperadoes who dare to assassinate him certainly didn't come to die in vain. Maybe they've already set up a trap. Could it be... Sang Luo's worries grew stronger. She had just walked to the door when suddenly, she heard several unfamiliar footsteps approaching!

She quickly looked through the peephole and saw several masked men in black standing at the door. One of the beastmen took out the key to this room and walked over to open the door.

Are these people's target her?!

Sang Luo retreated backward.

"Wham!"

The window glass was suddenly shattered. Sang Luo didn't have time to react, and immediately condensed lightning power in her palm, but was caught off guard and embraced from behind. The man grabbed her right hand, and the strand of lightning power actually flowed directly into his body.

Sang Luo didn't have time to be shocked and wanted to turn her head, but her chin was pinched and she was plunged into a long, passionate kiss. The man's breathing was rapid, as if suppressing extreme, intense emotions!

At the same time, several men in black broke in.

A large hand covered her eyes, and then a strong smell of blood spread.

Most of the room was splattered with blood. A beastman covered his half-severed neck and looked in horror at the man with a stern face,

"Lan Cang, you...you...dare to betray the organization..."

Thanks to "Yu Yin" for the monthly ticket and reward~
