On the top floor of the Moon Tower. A man with shoulder-length green color hair was sitting in a chair. There's a table with tea in front of him.

His face was calm and his eyes were closed as the aroma of the tea went to his nose. He was wearing light blueish color armor underneath his black shirt. His armor was orange-grade equipment while his shirt was blue-grade equipment.

His fingers were filled with rings that enhanced his strength. His ears were the same. A pair of blue-grade earrings was in his ears.

His was black in color with chains around it. It has the same grade as his armor. A piece of orange-grade equipment.

After a few moments, the man slowly opened his eyes and revealed his dark green-colored eyes with blue hue around it.

This man was one of the leaders of the Blue Lawless City. The one who ruled over thousands of people across the city. His name was Curdova, the leader of the Moon Tower who governed the moon district.

A man was standing in front of Curdova. This man was Kan. The man that Brando fought before in the Ladros City. The one who defeated Brando was him.

Kan opened his mouth and said, "Master, I've complete my mission. I've brought the child here."

His eyes were filled with respect for the man in front of him. Suddenly, his expression turned gloomy as he hesitated whether he should continue.

".....but Kan... died at the battle....."

"Hmm... I see... we lost one of the executives in exchange for my child. Not a bad deal." Curdova said as he drunk his tea in one go before he stood up and added, "Prepare everything. We'll start the ceremony on the rooftop."

"I understand." Kan bowed his head before he left the room.

After Kan left, Curdova walked towards the window and looked down at the city. He squinted his eyes and mumbled, "Everything will start today. I will gain a weapon to destroy the True God's Holy Kingdom. That vile country... I will not forget what happened to me that day."

...

Souta stood up and said, "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Lynn asked as she followed Souta.

"We're going to find someone who needs our help," Souta replied to her.

"Need our help...?" Lynn looked around as she doubted that the people in the surrounding needed their help.

"Even if this is a city of criminals. There's at least one person who needs our help. For hunting or anything." Souta said as he shrugged his shoulder. He too wasn't sure what help they would need from him but he had to try it.

It was impossible for this city to not have a quest available for him. Yeah, it was impossible for tens of thousands of people to not have a problem as most people in the world have at least one of two problems in their life. Just like the problem that he was facing right now regarding the Moon Tower.

If he could at least have some people to ask him for help then he was sure that he would trigger at least one question from them.

Quest. This was important for him. He wouldn't be able to earn exp, skill points, free attribute points, and other rewards without this.

The question is how could he let those people rely on him to the point that he would trigger a quest. Sometimes a player would just receive a quest easily and sometimes it would take a long time before a person could give him a quest.

If he was lucky, the people would come to him first even without doing anything.

After walking around for an hour, Souta and Lynn didn't find anyone that they could lend their strength. Well, there's a lot of people as fighting was present everywhere but they doubted whether to help those people or not.

"It's hard to find someone we could lend our strength..." Souta said with a deep sigh.

"Yeah, but it's better if we don't judge them base on their outside appearance." Lynn nodded and said.

"Oh...? You're right." Souta was a little bit surprised at her words but he regained his composure as he realized that it was like her to say those words. She's really a kind person.

Well, she was right. Those people looked like ruffians so he didn't even try to help them nor he bothered looking in their direction.

"Okay, we'll try to help some people," Souta said Lynn.

"Okay..." Lynn nodded at him.

The two once again walked around the area to find someone who needs help. They quickly find someone who was fighting in the streets.

Two groups of people were fighting. The first group consisted of six people. Their power level was D-rank. While the other group consisted of only two people but the two of them were C-rank.

Sounds of metal colliding against each other echoed in the area. A lot of people were watching the battle on the sideline. They were even cheering and betting about who's going to win the battle.

It was a normal scene in this city.

"What should we do, Souta?" Lynn said as she glanced at him. She didn't know who they should help.

"Hmm... Let's watch first and help the losing side." Souta replied to him. He watched the battle on the sideline with Lynn. He readied himself to intervene at any time.

The battle continued and both sides suffered injuries. The battle was intense and they destroyed several structures.

"Lynn, I'll go now. Wait for me to finish it." Souta said to Lynn as he disappeared from his position.

Swoosh!

Lynn didn't even manage to reply as he vanished beside her. She just turned her head to the battle.

Souta appeared at the corner and slowly walked towards the battle. A lot of people noticed him walking leisurely in the middle of the fight.

"Is that person an idiot?!!"

"What is he doing in the middle?!!!"

"Can't he see a group of people fighting?!!"

The people on the sideline murmured to each other as they mocked Souta who was walking in the middle of the battle.

Souta's hands were inside his pocket. He was looking around but his attention was focused on the battle close to him. The two C-rank couldn't handle the six D-rank at all. In terms of power level among C-ranks, they were at the bottom. It's no wonder that six D-ranks could handle them.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Five D-ranks appeared one meter away from Souta. They were going to attack the C-rank but Souta took a step forward. This not only shocked the people around but also the C-ranks and the D-ranks who were going to attack the C-rank.

"Oh...? You're in my way." Souta said as he gathered his mana in his hand and waved it towards the swords of the five D-ranks.

Bang!

The swords of the D-ranks were shattered the moment Souta's hand collided with it. It was only a low-grade weapon so it couldn't harm Souta's hand which was coated by a mana of a B-rank like him.

"Wha- Our sword...!!" The D-ranks were stunned when their weapons were shattered easily by this weapon.

They haven't realized that the person in front of them was above their league. Anger and shame disrupted their logical mind.

"You dare to fight us! The Great Swift Bandits!!"

They roared as they pointed their fingers at him.

"It's not bad to follow your emotion just like what I'm doing but don't let it control your mind," Souta said as he pointed his finger at them and concentrate his mana on the tip of his finger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several concentrated mana shoots out from his finger and it knocked out the six D-rank. He could easily dispose of several D-rank without having a problem. If it was a few months ago, it would take him a lot of time before he could defeat six D-rank.

"Great Swift Bandit...? I haven't heard it."

Souta shook his head and put those thoughts in the back of his mind. He turned towards the two C-ranks, only to find them looking at him with wide eyes.

"Is there something wrong...?" Souta said after a while as the two kept looking at him.

".....ah! N-nothing... Thanks for saving us..." One of the C-rank who looked in his early twenties said. He was wearing simple leather armor and pants. His black hair was messy and he had a huge scar on his left arm.

"Thank you, young one." The other one said. This man was an old man. His hair was white and long. His beard has the same color as his hair and it was long too. His attire was the same as his comrades.

"Hmm..." Souta rubbed his chin as he examined the two from top to bottom. He wondered if he could get something from these two C-ranks.
