Chapter 170: Master, it feels very secure with you

Charlotte went out to buy groceries and just as he reached the doorstep, the bald neighbor boss with a malicious smile approached him, whispering, "Doctor, I've got some information on what you asked me to check."

"So soon?" Charlotte was surprised, as it had only been a morning.

"I had to get it done for you since you asked." The bald boss grinned.

"I still have three volumes of the mermaid maid continuation series from my friend in Calva. Do you want them? If you do, I can bring them to you tomorrow from Calva."

"Forget about the continuation series for now. Can you find that artist?" Charlotte asked.

The bald boss hesitated, "You know how small the world of illustration is. In our line of work, there are only a few illustrators who sustain us. If you want him to share this kind of information with you, then it's definitely..."

"Tell him I'll buy those three continuation volumes for ten thousand copper coins, but only if he gives me the address of the artist." Charlotte interrupted, tossing a gold coin.

"Alright, tomorrow morning, I'll bring you the address." The bald boss nodded eagerly, stroking the gold coin in his hand.

Charlotte entered the house carrying the groceries, feeling a pang in his heart.

A gold coin!

That's ten thousand copper coins!

He was going all out to find that artist.

After having lunch, Charlotte took Kasha and Vivian and headed to Tova Street.

Charlotte had the two girls wear hooded cloaks to hide their stunning appearances and avoid unnecessary attention.

But even so, the graceful figures of the two girls attracted some ill-intentioned followers.

"Boss, it seems like someone is following us," Vivian said nervously.

"Are they... bad people?" Kasha's voice trembled with fear.

Charlotte had already noticed the people trailing behind them, three orcish individuals with about second-level strength.

With Charlotte's current abilities, dealing with them would be a piece of cake.

However, as they turned a corner into an alley, they were blocked by two burly orcish individuals in front, while the three followers caught up from behind, cutting off their escape route.

"Tsk tsk, nice figures. Brothers, let's have some fun first, then we can sell them at the port hideout in Calva." The leader, a pig-headed orc, leered at Kasha and Vivian without any restraint.

"Of course, the boss will have fun first, and we can all enjoy afterward." The dog-headed orc beside him fawned.

The other three orcs joined in the sinister laughter.

As for Charlotte, he was completely ignored by this group of orcs. After all, he was just a human, unarmed, and what trouble could he cause?

Vivian's face turned pale with fright. Her hand, hidden in the oversized sleeves of her robe, had already gripped her magic wand.

However, she had little combat experience and in such close quarters, in this narrow alley, she had no confidence that she could handle these terrifying orcs.

After she entered the medical hall, she rarely left Baka Street, and she didn't expect to encounter danger so quickly.

Kasha was so scared that she took two steps back, her feet tripped over a raised cobblestone, and she staggered backward.

Charlotte reached out and supported her waist, gently pulling her back to stabilize her body.

But as she remembered, a corner of her clothes revealed the magnificent ice-blue mermaid tail to the orc crowd.

"It's a mermaid!" exclaimed the dog-headed orc with excitement.

"Boss, we're going to make a fortune today! I've heard that many nobles in the Imperial Capital of the Lance Empire are willing to pay a high price for mermaids. If we sell this mermaid over there, we'll be able to enjoy ourselves for a while, my brothers."

"Really?!"

The pig-headed orc's eyes lit up, then he looked toward Kasha with an increasingly heated gaze.

"I've lived for over a hundred years and haven't played with a mermaid yet. Today, I'll have some fun with this little girl and see how good she is."

As he spoke, he began striding towards them.

The other orcs also fixed their gaze on Kasha, filled with lewdness and desire.

"Master, I... I'm scared..." Kasha leaned against Charlotte's embrace, trembling uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid." Charlotte released his hold on Kasha's slender waist, took a step forward, and stood in front of Vivian and Kasha, staring at the approaching pig-headed orc with icy coldness in his eyes.

A third-level pig-faced orc, without even drawing his weapons, clearly didn't consider him a threat.

"Boy, a beauty like her isn't something useless humans like you can enjoy. I'll twist your head off and put it aside later, so you can see how I enjoy the beauty," sneered the pig-headed orc, extending his large, fan-like hands to grab Charlotte's head.

"Hahaha!"

The other orcs followed suit, laughing heartily.

They seemed to envision their leader twisting the human's head off.

"Master!" Kasha watched Charlotte's figure, her cursed body unable to summon any strength, her little face turning red with anxiety.

"Ice Wall! Use an Ice Wall to block him, boss! He should still have some talismans!" Vivian was equally anxious, already silently chanting a spell.

Just then, Charlotte suddenly made a move.

Instead of stepping back, he stepped forward, like a cannonball, crashing into the pig-headed orc's embrace.

A cold light flashed at Charlotte's fingertip, and the pig-headed orc's eyes widened suddenly. Then his massive body flew out, crashing into a solid stone wall tens of meters away.

There was a gaping wound on his major artery.

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

His heart had also been stabbed three times, the wounds not as visible but equally deadly.

"Boss!"

The four orcs were instantly stunned, staring at the pig-headed orc lying motionless in a heap of stones, unsure of his fate.

Their gazes turned once again to Charlotte, this seemingly weak human holding a delicate little knife in his hand.

How could such horrifying speed and strength erupt from this small body, kicking a pig-headed orc weighing over half a ton dozens of meters away?

Kasha was also stunned, looking at the pig-headed orc who had fallen silent and then at Charlotte, who stood there unharmed like a sword. Her gaze gradually turned into admiration.

So, her master turned out to be a powerful knight!

What a sense of security it brought.

Charlotte swiftly killed the pig-headed orc, shocking the entire scene. Even Vivian's spell was interrupted.

In his hand, there was only a surgical scalpel, no longer than ten centimeters.

The remaining few orcs regained their senses and confirmed that Charlotte was a formidable opponent.

They exchanged glances with the orc leader and rushed toward Charlotte together.
