I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1775: They Did Something Quite Unexpected

"Something must have happened… Don't tell me the Hescos interfered…" his thoughts drifted towards his most dangerous enemy.

The Hescos weren't just strong, they didn't only threaten him using force, but they got tons of relations with others. This sort of connection was the most lethal part of them.

All he could think about was that they must have gotten wind of what he was doing here, what he wanted to achieve, and interfered to stop everything. He guessed it partially right, someone did interfere, but it wasn't the same target he suspected for that.

And he'd get all surprised when he'd realise who was pulling the strings from behind the curtain to stop him from gaining what he wanted.

"I need to go out and visit that place…" After one more month of staying inside, Hye didn't like it. The first moments he experienced after getting out from Earth were phenomenal to him. He felt like he grew younger, got back in time again, and was having much fun.

But in the past few months, things died down. There wasn't a single event worthy of his attention, least expected of his intervention.

All he did was sit here, receive incoming intel and news, and have fun with his ladies. Aside from that, he missed the sense of fighting. And right now, he decided he should go out and look for trouble, as trouble didn't come looking for him.

In this spot of the universe, there was only one place where he could find trouble, the outer battlefield!

But before thinking about going there, he had to solve a little problem first; the pirate king.

"You said you'd let me go a few months ago!" The pirate king was roaring in rage in front of him, while the lady nymph was on his side, acting innocent when Hye was sure she was the fire starter in all this.

Hye could only sigh when he ever met with that explosive ex-bandit. He kept asking for what he promised, but Hye always denied his requests.

"Can't you get it? Without having trained and experienced fighters, how do you expect to survive? Besides, I asked you to bring more intel about the targets you want to hit. This place is going to be your base, and you need to plan things out from here…"

"It won't work this way," the pirate king shouted, "I just heard, a big war erupted over a big trading fleet, tons of loot were gained, and we only heard about it after it's over. We need to go out, we need to be ready to intervene at any given moment, or else we won't have a single scrap left to rob!"

"This…" Hye hadn't learned about such news before, and this was the first time the pirate king spoke about something like that.

"He is correct," the lady nymph stepped up at this moment and interfered, "it's not easy to gather intel about opportunities while staying behind like this. We need to go out, spread many eyes around, interact with lots of dark forces, so we can grasp a chance when it's available to grab."

With her intervention, Hye got why the two of them kept pestering him like that. "Listen, all I can offer is an army of inexperienced people from those living here, going out with you, and helping you in what you plan to do. However…"

"We know, they can't get into big sh*t, or else they'll fck up, right?" The pirate king was pissed off more than Hye even expected, "I'm cool with them, just give me the army and ships, and I'll go and won't come back until I have something to give you."

"Does that mean… Do you finally agree?" The lady nymph couldn't believe herself, and neither did the pirate king.

"What can I say," Hye shrugged, "if you want to leave, try out your luck with such low odds, then what can I say but agree? Let's just be clear, you have to inform me of any big moves at first, coordinate with me, got it?"

When he said his last words casually, he noticed the slight change over the two's faces. They looked at each other, as if they were hiding something and just got caught.

"What? You're hiding something from me?" he couldn't help but jump to this conclusion, as there wasn't any other explanation other than this for their weird response to his words.

"Ahem… About that…" the pirate king struggled to say anything, but the lady nymph said in straight and clear words:

"We have a target we'd love to go and hunt, it's…" she started to speak in great detail about what they wanted to do. And when he heard what she said, Hye couldn't help but feel surprised and amazed.

"Are you telling me you want to target a caravan belonging to the Toranks? My ally? Are you nuts?" he couldn't help but shout in their faces, and the two remained silent, as they expected such an intense response from him.

"We… We…"

"We are doing this for a good reason," the lady nymph exploded as if she was holding everything inside for too long, "they… They are the ones who are holding you back, for a very long time…"

"I know, they refused to give me any crystal when I asked, refused to give me anything of value," Hye spoke in a slow and yet very dangerous tone, "but that doesn't mean I shall go and fck with them. I already have one big force on my back, and it's causing me enough problems. You, out of all people, shall be aware of this, right?"

"I know, I know all that, but they did something new, something you aren't aware of…"

"Did what?" Hye slowly asked, with more curiosity than rage.

"I don't know exactly what it is… If I do, why won't I come and tell you about it?"

"You don't make any sense here," Hye paused, and she exchanged glances with the pirate king as if she was asking for his help.
