Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 202: Following Suspicious People

"You little brat! Do you really think I will do as you say, or do you think I am blind and won't notice how you are trying to use me?" Lucius asked with a cold expression.

But Li Wei didn't even fear a bit.

"Geezer, if you don't want extra money, then just say no. Why so much nonsense? Also, can you send me back? I have a lot of things to do," he replied with impatience, as if he has many important things to do.

However, Lucius knew he was just acting, so he became more irritated, and his mouth twitched in anger.

"Brat, don't act like you are doing nothing wrong. Explain why you are spreading false rumours about a hero," he inquired directly, getting to the main point.

But Li Wei just shrugged his shoulders at him.

"Old man, what do you mean by rumours? It's the truth. Didn't you hear that the hero Bai Feng is coming back again, or is it just that you don't know?" Li Wei stated with a nonchalant face.

While hearing this, Lucius became more irritated and shouted at him.

"Brat, don't lie! The hero Bai Feng can't come here because he is being ravaged by—" he stopped abruptly, knowing he was talking about something he shouldn't.

Li Wei, however, became disappointed as he saw him stop talking. He knew that the church and high-level people knew where Bai Feng was, and he deliberately brought his name here so he could figure out his location.

He just wanted to reveal his whereabouts to the dark faction who would send people to kill him, but he failed to get any important info from the old foggy and was left with a puzzle by his words.

But before he could think of something, the old foggy once again shouted.

"Brat, don't speak nonsense and tell me the truth. If not, I will have to apprehend you for spreading false rumours," Lucius stated with an aggressive look as he got tricked by him again.

He knew that Li Wei has some feud with the hero because of his sister, so he didn't even need to think about what he would do with this information.

Nevertheless, he didn't care because the hero might die before Li Wei could even try to do something, so he just got irritated by getting scammed again and became aggressive at him.

However, if he knew Li Wei's thoughts, he would definitely omit some blood.

'Damn you old foggy, just how did you get angry so fast? Did Irene blast your blood pressure medicine, or did she eat it herself for fun?' Li Wei cursed in his mind as he watched the geezer reaching his limit so early.

He wanted to make him spit out a few more things, but alas, it was impossible with him being aggressive. Well, it was within reason; he would become angry as it was something serious to spread rumours about a hero.

Nevertheless, he didn't care too much.

"Geezer, there is no need to worry because a hero will come tomorrow and double the money of a few people, so the rumours aren't false but true," he explained with a carefree face.

Hearing this, Lucius frowned a little as he could already see the hero would be none other than Li Wei but in disguise.

"Brat, you really have a strong nerve to pull off something like this. Don't you know what will happen if you get caught?" he asked coldly.

However, Li Wei remained the same, unaffected by his change in attitude.

"Old man, why would I fear someone if I have the backing of a geezer like you? Also, if it were that serious, you would've stopped me when I started to spread the rumours," he replied with a shrug, making Lucius speechless.

Li Wei was clearly using him as a shield, yet he could do nothing because he was a hero. Even if Li Wei denied it, he wouldn't believe; after all, there was no way a normal blessed person would be able to level up rapidly like him.

So, in the end, he considered Li Wei as a hero and wasn't able to go against him even if he was using him like a slave.

Of course, there was also another reason, and that is the higher-ups from the church were considering whether to send someone to protect Li Wei.

After Lucius knew this, he was very shocked because the church has always been picky at choosing which heroes to protect, and unless they are three or four-star heroes, they wouldn't make any move.

So, he was dumbfounded after knowing this because one-star heroes have two times blessings while two-star heroes have four times blessings and so on further.

Lucius knew that Li Wei's level was high and predicted that he has four times blessings, meaning he is a two-star hero. The thought of him being three or four never crossed his mind as he didn't know his real level.

As for the five stars, it was the legendary one that only existed in history, so he didn't think Li Wei might have ten times blessings and only thought there might be something special about him that higher-ups found with their prediction skills.

However, it didn't matter to him at all as Li Wei was not someone he could provoke then and now, so after knowing Li Wei was using him, he couldn't do anything except being irritated.

"Li Wei, don't rely on me. I won't be able to help you too much here. Also, make sure to use your blessings in limit, if not, they will get stripped off by the world system," he reminded Li Wei with a strict look and waved his hand nonchalantly.

Li Wei wanted to say something, but before he could, the scenery around changed, and he appeared in an empty street inside the city.

"Damn geezer, after knowing you lost your advantage, you directly escaped. How dirty of you," Li Wei cursed with irritation as he wanted to blackmail the old foggy for coin cards.

He didn't know about anything that he was being considered a very powerful hero, so he thought the old foggy was planning something else and trying to use him again. If that was the case, he could use it as an excuse to extort money from him.

However, he never thought the old man would be so shameless that he wouldn't hesitate to run away.

"Ah, my money is gone," Li Wei muttered with a depressed face as he strolled around to check the effects of his rumours while also trying to find people from dark factions.

This thing couldn't be asked around directly, so he was very careful, changing his appearance time to time while wandering around the city trying to find anyone suspicious and he finally found someone.

However, he was puzzled and stunned at the same time because this was someone he knew.

'Isn't that Alex? What is he doing here, and also the people with him look shady,' Li Wei thought, as he saw a group of nobles before him with Alex, Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e'-NovelBin.net

They all looked suspicious and dodgy as they headed somewhere with a cautious look while keeping an eye everywhere to make sure no was following them.

Witnessing all of this Li Wei couldn't help but become curious about their shady business, so he decided to follow them with stealth, wondering what they were up to.
