Noelle felt her ears ringing; it was a bounty poster, her own bounty poster…

He knew the terrifying nature of bounty posters; once a high reward was offered, someone would inevitably hunt him down.

Regardless of race, anyone who targets someone can exchange their money for it, let alone someone with such a large sum.

Noelle's forehead was covered in sweat, and her eyes were a little teary.

Not only did he lose an arm, but his parents were also imprisoned, and now a bounty is on his head...

I feel like there's absolutely no hope... It's so painful...

Noelle stood frozen in place, her eyes red.

Reed picked up the bounty poster and looked at it.

5200 is a large sum of money... and the target is right next to you!

He didn't know her well, and he even said he wanted to take her to live with his parents.

But now that her parents have been arrested, the mission has been terminated.

Noelle, her eyes brimming with tears, saw Reed staring intently at the wanted poster, and her heart skipped a beat.

Noelle nudged Reid with her left shoulder, then moved away from the two guards.

Reed watched Noelle in the distance and walked to her side.

Noelle looked at Reid beside her, her voice trembling as she asked, "You want to use me to exchange for a bounty, don't you...?"

Red stood there speechless...

"That's what you were thinking when you saw that thing just now, right?"

With each word Noelle spoke, she took a step closer to Reed, until her body was pressed against Reed's clothes.

Reed shoved Noelle aside, who gave a self-deprecating laugh. Reed then spoke.

"I did think that just now, you are indeed very valuable."

After hearing Reed's words, Noelle turned her back to him and said, "Then why did you tell me?! Just grab me and collect the bounty!"

Do you have a deposit?

After hearing Reed's voice, Noelle, who had already given up hope, turned her head in confusion and asked, "What deposit...?"

"I feel that completing your task would earn you more money, and given the current situation, I'm a little skeptical of your decision."

"Therefore, a deposit is required before I can continue to complete your task."

Noel was utterly astonished to hear Reed's words; he hadn't expected that what he was supposed to do wasn't to exchange himself for a bounty.

Instead, a deposit was required to continue, which gave Noelle, who had been in despair, a renewed sense of hope.

This strange man in front of us is not only powerful, but also seems a bit stupid. There's still a sliver of a chance!

Noelle said, "I...I have a deposit, here you go..."

Noelle puffed out her chest after speaking, and Reid looked over and noticed a necklace around her neck.

"This is the red diamond necklace I bought for a little over 2000 yuan... Can I use it as a deposit?"

The necklace has a red gemstone in the center, and the chain is made of gold.

Reed nodded, reached in, took the necklace out, and put it in his pocket.

Then Reed asked, "What's the next task?"

"You protect me, help me recover my arm! And kill Principal Gilly!"

Noelle's immediate thought was to find the headmaster and ask him how to restore her arm.

Moreover, it seems that someone else was behind this bounty; the principal definitely doesn't have that kind of authority. Even more outrageous is that his parents were also implicated.

Why would the headmaster sacrifice himself when his family is in danger? And who put up the bounty?

There were too many mysteries; Noelle always felt that everything was against her.

Noel explained to Reid, "First, we need to find Principal Gillies! And find a way to restore my hands!"

Reed looked at the two passages in the distance and asked, "So what should we do?"

"The principal was born in a noble district. Although we are from different social classes, he did become the principal."

"The principal needs to go to the academy to work in the wealthy royal district. After get off work, he will return to the noble civilian district, and his get off work hours are in the evening..."

"We'll find a way to get to Guimin District! We'll find the principal's residence!"

Noelle's analysis was quick and accurate, with clear logic.

Although Reed didn't quite understand the previous analysis, he figured the solution was to get to the noble district and find the principal.

Reed, without even thinking, asked Noelle directly, "So what should we do next?"

Noelle thought for a moment and said, "We can't go through the noble passage... If we reveal our identities, we'll definitely be exposed!"

"So the only option is... to go through the slums, uh... I heard they're very dirty and apparently quite dangerous..."

Reed, on the other hand, didn't care and felt it didn't matter which way he went.

"It doesn't matter which way we go. If all else fails, we can just kill those two troublesome guards and break in."

"If we take the dirty road, we can go in and kill a few people first, then they won't dare to cause trouble..."

(????)????"Stop your terrifying thoughts! We need to stay hidden. If we're discovered, we'll be hunted down!"

"It doesn't matter, I'll kill as many as they come..."

"No! No! Absolutely no! Just do as I say! I can't explain it to you!"

"Tsk, what a hassle..."

[A few minutes later...]

To avoid being discovered in the slums, Noelle asked Reid to tie a cloth around her face.

To be precise, only the mouth and nose were covered, leaving only the eyes visible.

Although Noelle herself was somewhat resistant, it was already quite brave of a young lady born into nobility to make such a choice.

The cloth still had a strange smell, so Noelle gritted her teeth and silently prayed that everything would pass.

Red made some mistakes while tying the blindfold along the way, such as covering his eyes completely or not tying it tightly enough so that it didn't cover them at all.

After doing all this, the two stood at the entrance to the slum, looking at the stinking streets inside.

Reed didn't care, but Noelle was already hypnotizing herself, not daring to open her eyes.

After a brief internal struggle, Noelle finally stepped inside.

To avoid drawing too much attention, Noelle wore a tattered coat, so that outsiders wouldn't be able to tell that she had no hands.

The two walked along the dirty street, covered in black mud, with flies buzzing around.

Pedestrians on the street stared at the two newcomers, Reed and his companion, with ill intent.

They seemed to be checking how much money the two had. The nearby houses were extremely rudimentary, built from scrap metal.

There was animal feces on some roadsides, and the air was filled with a strange, foul stench.

Noelle was so overwhelmed by the environment that she almost burst into tears as soon as she entered.

His 1.5-meter frame pressed tightly against Reid, his face turned away, avoiding the eyes of the passersby.

Reid noticed the ill intentions of the pedestrians as soon as he entered, and was just about to summon Bo Ming when...

Reed remembered Noel's earlier warning to him not to attract attention.

Reed had no choice but to lower his hand and look at the passersby who were getting closer and closer. He had to think of a solution...

A brilliant idea flashed in Reed's mind!

Those dressed in simple clothes saw Reed and Noelle slowly approaching.

They smelled blood on both of them, especially on the girl; some had already noticed she was wearing high heels and a skirt.

The tall, bandaged man was clearly very strong; he was likely the girl's bodyguard.

But with so many people around, no matter how strong the other side is, can they possibly defeat so many of us?

Everyone thought they had it in the bag, but suddenly they saw Reed unbuttoning his coat.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately became alert. Was this person about to take out a weapon?

Reed unbuttoned his coat, then loosened the buttons on his suit jacket, revealing his skin.

There were circular scars of varying sizes on the surface of his skin, and as soon as the two pieces of clothing were opened, the stench of blood emanating from Reed suddenly filled the air.

People more than six meters away could smell the strong stench of blood emanating from Reed.

The number of wounds was terrifying; besides the circular scars, there were all sorts of knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and so on!

And! There was a beating heart in his abdomen! It was pounding violently! And you could even see the red aura emanating from it.

After seeing this, everyone had already moved far away from Reed. This was too outrageous! What on earth had this man gone through? And what was that heart emitting red steam?!

This guy is ruthless! Just because he wants to steal some money doesn't mean he's willing to risk his life.

When one person backs down, others will follow suit, and gradually those with ulterior motives will drift further and further away.

Noelle turned her head and saw that there were fewer and fewer people around her. Somewhat confused, she looked back at Reid.

Reed had already put his clothes back on, and Noelle looked at him, still standing there, somewhat confused.

"Why...why did all these people leave?"

Red didn't answer, but walked straight ahead.

Because Noelle turned her head, she didn't see Reid's numerous wounds...
