Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 156 Grand Welcome!

Chapter 156  Grand Welcome!

The thick foliage of the south forest blurred past as a medium-sized hover truck, piloted by a burly beast man from the bear branch, sped through the winding trails. The driver, his keen eyes scanning the surroundings, checked his watch and muttered under his breath, lost in thought. "We are almost there."

Next to the beast man sat a human who had long bangs covering half of his face. He yawned as he observed the surrounding forest with disinterest. Then his ears perked up when he heard the beast man mumbling, and he sat upright.

"Hm? Really? Then drive fast! I'm so bored that I feel like dying."

When the beast man heard his words, his furry face contorted, and he complained in annoyance.

"You bastard! If not for you lusting after those women! I wouldn't have to drive in such a hurry!"

"Hey, calm down man, chill. We are on time anyway, right? So, it's fine."

"NO, IT'S NOT!" He snarled, but a moment later, he refocused on driving and said in a deep voice. "We are in the middle of our work! Can't you control your lust until after we complete the deliveries?!" "Yeah, fine... I am not some horny guy." The human shrugged. "It's just that when I saw those cow-women, I got a little excited." Thinking back about those women, he licked his lips. 'I should pass by that village once again later.'

"…"

He sensed that the beast-man's anger started rising because of his words, so he coughed and changed the topic to divert his attention and subside his anger.

"Anyway, how many deliveries we have left?"

"… Two more after this one."

"Seriously?" He sighed in exhaustion. "How far are the rest of the pickup locations from here?"

"Don't worry, they are all close. As these are the last batch of goods, the number shouldn't be much. Maybe we can pick them all up together."

"Really? That's good news!"

The bear-man shook his head, glancing at his lazy partner from the corner of his eyes.

---

The hover truck stopped and, after rechecking the navigation screen, the bear-man said. "We have arrived at the pickup point." Then he looked around and asked, "Should I send them another message?"

When the human heard his question, he just waved his hand in nonchalance. "Do whatever you want? Just complete this delivery fast. I want to go back and meet those cow-wo- *Ahem!* I mean, go back and rest."

The bear-man stared at him with a deadpan expression. Which was difficult to see through because of his furry face. ***

"Oh! They even sent a message. How kind of them!" Luis read the message on the kidnapper's mana bracelet and chuckled. Then he responded to them with a message to come in.

Olivia behind him asked. "Are they here?"

"Yes, professor." Luis nodded to her. Then, using his perception, he glanced 360° around him and, after locking his eyes in a certain direction; he started walking.

Olivia was also looking in that same direction as she asked. "Are you going to fight them alone?" Although, she didn't say it. This time, Luis' opponents were stronger than the previous kidnappers. However, thinking of Luis' strength, she knew he should be able to deal with them.

Without turning back, Luis just waved his hands.

"I'm just giving them a warm welcome."

Olivia chuckled when she heard his words and stood aside, hiding her presence, ready to watch the show.

***

Inside the hover truck. "They won't be turning off the artifact. They are asking us to go just straight in." The bear-man said after reading the message in his mana bracelet.

"Well, that's understandable. Activating and deactivating that artifact, again and again, is too bothersome."

"…"

The bear man muttered under his breath. "Why did I get such a lazy and lustful fella as my partner?"

*Sigh* He then sighed and started driving forward towards the shed hidden by the stealth artifact.

The human yawned again and asked, "I never knew we had another partner. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I am talking about YOU, BASTARD!" The bear-man huffed in anger and shouted. "OH GOD, JUST KILL THIS FUCKER!"

"Why are you cursing me when I didn't even do anything?" The human asked with a frown. He sounded quite displeased.

"That's the problem! You are not doing anything other than lazing or lusting after women!" "… That's a lie."

"No, it's not!"

Right when the two of them were so absorbed in arguing with each other, an unfamiliar voice sounded, attracting their attention. "Excuse me."

They turned their heads in unison to look at the black-haired, handsome boy who stood some distance ahead of them.

'Are the kidnappers so handsome these days?' Just as that thought crossed their minds, the two of them looked around and felt weird because they couldn't find any storage places around them.

"Boy, are you working here alone? Where are your partners and the goods?" The bear man expressed his doubts.

Luis was slightly taken aback when they mistook him for one of them. 'Goods, huh? They don't even treat them as living beings. Are those kids nothing but commodities to them?!' When he thought of this, rage started building up inside him. However, on the surface, he just chuckled while shaking his head.

"It seems there is some misunderstanding between us. I'm just here to welcome you two."

"Welcome us?" They frowned in unison. For some reason, they had a bad feeling in their heart. Luis nodded and said with a wide smile, "Yes, and after I heard in on your conversation. I'm sure you will like it."

When the two of them saw his smile, they couldn't help but get goosebumps. Their senses were screaming danger. Unfortunately for them, it was already too late.

Luis opened his arms wide and exclaimed with a smile.

"Please enjoy the Grand Welcome I've prepared you two!"

The next second, facing hundreds of thunder elemental attacks aiming at them midair, surrounding them in all directions, their eyes opened wide in horror, and their bodies trembled in fear. They knew at this moment that they fucked up.
