On both sides of the long wooden table, Hod and Sam looked at each other, and the atmosphere of tension and oppression instantly filled their surroundings.

Suddenly, Sam moved, leaning forward slightly, and asked Hod in a low voice: "Captain Hod, are you kidding?"

"Of course not." Hod answered firmly.

"Oh?"

Sam was slightly startled, and then quickly shrank back. He carefully examined Hod and continued in a low voice: "Killing Ruger will not cause too much trouble. After all, no one cares about the life and death of a small gangster. However, the real problem lies in his brother, Captain Roy."

"Once Roy finds out that you killed his brother, he will definitely seek revenge on you without hesitation." Sam looked serious and spoke solemnly.

"Captain Hod, you really don't need to provoke a guard captain just because of a momentary anger. Since the matter has passed, why bother to entangle it?" Sam persuaded earnestly.

However, Hod seemed to turn a deaf ear to Sam's advice. Instead, he pointed his finger at his chest and said word by word: "I can't get over this matter. I can't get over it. Ruger must die!"

Sam was silent. Seeing Hod's firm determination, he didn't know whether he should continue to persuade him.

"Captain Sam, here are 3 gold dragons. They are all my property. Now they are yours. I hope you can tell me if I kill Ruger, will anyone else cause trouble for me except his brother Roy."

Hod materialized 3 gold dragons from the system, pushed them in front of Sam, and asked seriously.

Although he said all the assets, the balance displayed in the system backpack was - 1 gold dragon, 1 silver deer, and 87 bronze sheep.

Looking at the three gold dragons on the table, Sam's eyes twitched. After a long time, he suddenly grabbed the gold dragon in his hand and said fiercely: "No, absolutely not."

"But I want to remind you that Roy is the captain of the castle guard. He is very close to the trading market and only needs more than ten minutes to reach the scene. Are you sure you can finish it in such a short time?" Sam took a deep breath and continued.

Hearing this, Hood's heart sank. The town is not big. If you rush from the castle in the center to the market center, it will only take more than ten minutes.

It will take more than ten minutes to end the battle and clean up the scene. Is it enough?

Hood pondered for a long time and looked up and asked: "Is there any way to delay some time?"

Looking at the determination in Hood's eyes, Sam couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This kid is really a ruthless person." He thought that after he said this, Hood might give up for safety reasons, but he didn't expect that he would insist on killing.

Sam lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Hodder and said, "Except for Lord Vito and Lord Conrad, Roy will not obey anyone's orders, so even I don't have a good way to help you delay Roy, but..."

Sam seemed to remember something and continued, "However, Roy will go out with Knight Barnett in three days, and then you may have enough time to deal with Ruger."

"Go out?" Hodder's eyes showed doubt.

"Yes, do you know that there is a group of bandits outside the town who are constantly attacking merchants and travelers?" Sam said.

Hodder nodded.

"Due to the attack of this bandit group, many foreign merchants dared not come to Rhine Town to do business, which made Lord Conrad very angry."

"So he sent guards to encircle and suppress them many times, but he could not find the habitat of those bandits. This time, Lord Conrad seemed to have learned some news and sent Lord Knight Barnett out again."

"It just so happened that a big businessman in the town was also robbed by the bandits when he came. For this reason, he also recruited a lot of mercenaries in the town to take back his goods. At the same time, he paid a large sum of money to ask Lord Conrad to send guards to act with him."

"And Roy's team was also selected. They will follow Knight Barnett out of the town for at least a week. During this period, you can do whatever you want."

"So that's it..." Hod suddenly realized that this was indeed a good opportunity. A week was enough for him to kill Ruger and cover up the facts.

"However, I still want to remind you that although Roy is not here, the other guards in the team are not vegetarians. If you are accidentally discovered, the consequences will be disastrous." Sam warned.

"Don't worry, I will be careful." Hod nodded, his eyes gleaming, "I have thought of a rough plan, and it will definitely not be discovered by anyone."

Sam nodded, but he couldn't help but remind him: "By the way, there is a guard team stationed in the trading market. Have you thought about how to get them away? Although they don't care about the death of a gangster, you can't kill people under their noses."

Hearing this, Hood frowned slightly. He really didn't consider this.

He originally thought that as long as he avoided the sight of other people, he could complete the task smoothly, but now it seems that the situation is more complicated than he imagined.

"Don't think about it, I can help you solve this problem." Seeing Hood's frown, Sam took the initiative to speak.

Hood raised his head in surprise and looked at Sam, his eyes full of doubts and a hint of expectation.

"What about the three gold dragons? If I don't help you do something, I always feel uneasy." Sam explained with a smile.

Hood smiled. These three gold dragons were not spent in vain. Sam was willing to take the initiative to help. In this way, his pressure was much less.

Hodder looked at Sam gratefully, and then asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Sam suddenly smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice and said, "I know some people who can create some chaos and attract the attention of the guards. You can take action after they leave."

Hodder's eyes lit up immediately. Although this idea was not very clever, sometimes the simpler the plan, the more effective it is.

He stood up quickly and thanked Sam, "Thank you very much, Captain Sam."

"Haha, you're welcome, Captain Hodder, I wish you a smooth operation."

Sam also stood up and laughed, and then the two discussed some details to ensure that Hodder's actions that day were foolproof.

Finally, Hodder asked the bartender Yas to bring a few glasses of beer. The two ate the food on the table that had already cooled down, drank the beer and talked loudly about their experiences.

At this time, they looked more like normal drinkers.

It was late at night...

The guests in the pub had left one after another, leaving only some drunkards sleeping under the table.

"Captain Sam, it's getting late. You've drunk so much. Why don't you not go back tonight? I've already booked a room for you upstairs. Go upstairs and rest for a while." Hod said with a smile on his face, supporting the drunk Sam.

Sam squinted his eyes, staggered and couldn't stand steadily, muttering: "...Ho...Captain Hod...Don't look at me drinking so much...I'm not drunk at all..."

As he spoke, he tried to push Hod's hand away, but his body tilted to one side uncontrollably.

Hod quickly supported him and said with concern: "Captain Sam, you can't do this. You'd better go upstairs and rest for a while."

Sam blinked hard, trying to make himself more awake, but his eyes were still blurry.

He muttered: "I... I'm fine... I can still drink..."

However, his steps became more and more staggering, and he could hardly stand.

Hood shook his head helplessly and could only whisper in Sam's ear. After hearing this, Sam's eyes suddenly lit up: "Captain Hood, you are too polite... You are like this... Alas..."

Although he refused, Sam's body was honest. He walked upstairs with Hood, his face full of excited smiles.

Hood opened the door, helped Sam into the room, and whispered to the figure on the bed: "Serve Captain Sam well."

"Don't worry~" A charming voice came from the bed, and then a figure got off the bed and took Sam, who was already unstable, from Hood's hands.

"Captain Sam, I hope you have fun." Hood said with a smile, then gently closed the door and left the room.

Standing in the corridor, Hood's eyes were deep, as if he saw what happened three days later.

"Boss?" A door opened and Nott walked out.

"Rest."

Hod smiled silently and returned to his room.
