Mission in another world with my transformed best friend

Upon hearing this, everyone present except Wang Kai and Hani was stunned.

While wondering if there was something wrong with his hearing, everyone could only cast regretful glances at Wang Kai, even the two Xiong brothers...

Hani seemed to have expected this, and replied expressionlessly.

"Young adventurer, please think carefully. Twenty-odd gold coins is only the income of an ordinary adventurer for seven or eight years. It's not worth risking your life for..."

“A man of his word is a man of his word. Since you asked, I can take that as a yes, Mr. Honey!”

The bear brothers snapped out of their daze, exchanged a glance as if they had reached some kind of consensus, and then immediately stepped forward to stand on either side of Wang Kai.

Although the fear under the "bloodline suppression" could not be eliminated, they felt somewhat guilty, both emotionally and morally, when a young man they had just met stood up for them.

If they were to slip away under the watchful eyes of so many people, they would both feel ashamed to continue being adventurers...

“Brother… please let us call you that one more time, this time not as a greeting, but as a real ‘brother’.”

“Yes, under the orc bloodline, once you are considered a true brother, then you are truly family. Since family is willing to die for us, how dare we openly hide our lives! Come on, let us choose the second option as well…”

"Alright, you two, why aren't you leaving? We'll have a good drink next time we meet..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Kai spread his arms and seemingly pushed the two Xiong brothers aside with a light gesture, but the result was that the Xiong brothers stumbled back several steps. They looked at each other, unwilling but with no other choice...

"Brother Kyle, we will forever remember your kindness... And Honey, remember this: if you don't hold back, and Brother Kyle loses even a single hair, we will haunt you with revenge..."

"Even if we fail to get revenge, before we go down to join the Kyle brothers, we'll become ghosts and curse you for the rest of your life, hmph!"

The two bear brothers picked up their weapons and, before leaving, came to Wang Kai, each placing a hand on his shoulder, bowing their heads and silently reciting a few orcish blessings before quietly departing.

After the "unrelated people" left, Hani's eyes didn't move at all; they remained fixed on Wang Kai's face. Only after everything around him had settled down did he blink and ask.

"Young man, your courage is truly remarkable, I'm impressed. As a human, I've rarely seen anyone obtain a blessing spell that can make beastmen express their loyalty. What kind of magic did you use?"

"Magic? Let me think...maybe it was spending half a day drinking together at a bar."

"Alcohol? Does it have effects that surpass magic?"

"If you ask me, there is definitely something to say. Whether it's a friend, a brother, or a stranger, don't say anything. As long as we're destined to sit down and drink together, everything else is in the drink."

Hani shook her head: "I don't understand, can you be more specific?"

Wang Kai crossed his arms and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Who told you to be a bunch of high-and-mighty nobles who look down on any other mixed-race races, brainwashed by your self-proclaimed 'lofty beliefs' instilled in you from childhood?"

But you haven't considered that in the world, regardless of race, whether pure-blooded or mixed-race, whether one is discriminated against or discriminated against, there are people of all races.

If you treat others with sincerity, they will reciprocate with sincerity as well...

This kind of 'natural law' etched deep within the body is imperceptible unless you are a cold-blooded being.

Hani listened carefully, pondered for a few seconds, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Really? That's strange. Your words sound almost exactly like hers."

"What are you muttering to yourself about? Enough with the nonsense. Since I've chosen option two, you'd better hurry up and decide on the details. If you can't decide, I can help you decide..."

"No need, please wait a moment!"

After Hani finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the bar counter, which had been destroyed in half. He looked around and whispered something to a soldier next to him. After the soldier ran out, Hani found an intact bottle of liquor and two glasses among a pile of broken bottles. He then turned around and walked back.

Back at the table, Hani placed two glasses, opened the bottle cap, and started pouring, talking as he poured.

"First of all, let me clarify that I am just a businessman, not an aristocrat or a politician, so I don't have any so-called 'lofty understanding.' I only know that any dispute in the world can have its costs estimated, and those costs can be measured in money. Money is just a number to me; as long as the number is right, there is no dispute..."

Wang Kai couldn't figure out what the other party was up to. While talking about "small goals" in a casual tone, he slowly poured wine, and as a drop of wine slid down from the bottle, the liquid level in the two glasses was just the same.

It's not like we're really going to drink, is it? What's the meaning behind it...? Could it be that they want to give me a "farewell drink"? Do they think I'm a pushover? You said yourself that you're just a businessman, not some hidden master.

But why didn't the "review ring" work when I secretly used it here? All I see are question marks...

Honey poured two glasses of wine, handed one to her, and said something seemingly casually...

"It's certainly convenient to 'approve the Lord of the Rings,' but having money makes it even more convenient. I hope you understand that..."

"Wow, this old man's perception is amazing. I was being so careful, using my 'detection ring' discreetly when he turned around to get the wine, and he still noticed... Does he have eyes in the back of his head or something? Also, after making eye contact for so long, Honey's emotions haven't changed at all. Even the most ruthless capitalist couldn't stay that calm..."

Hani took the glass and extended hers in a gesture of toasting...

Wang Kai was stunned for a moment, and as the clinking of glasses rang out, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

In an instant, a white light seemed to block out his vision, and he was attacked by some force, his body flying backward and crashing heavily against the wall.

Just as the blood spurted from his mouth, a dark shadow flashed in front of him, followed by a flash of white light. A sword-shaped beam of light cleaved him in two, and with a terrifying sound of flesh and bone being torn apart, he fell heavily to the ground...

..."Whoosh"...

Wang Kai took a step back, blinked, still holding the wine glass in his hand. He wasn't spitting blood, and there were no wounds on his body; his limbs were still intact...

"What just happened? Could it be a hallucination? But being hit by that explosive force, and then being cleaved in two from head to toe by some kind of 'lightsaber'... every detail and every sensation doesn't feel fake. Could it be... could it be that I just died once and was 'resurrected' by the game system?"

"Predicting the future or time travel? Does this other world even have such 'sci-fi' abilities? Either one is a complete game-changer compared to my 'divine favor,' it's too overpowered, how am I supposed to continue playing this game...?"

Hani slowly finished his drink, then put down his glass, seemingly having achieved his goal, and said calmly.

"The meaning of 'passing the buck' is simply to drink this cup of wine with me, and then you can leave."

"Huh? It's that...simple?"

Wang Kai finally regained his senses amidst the chaos. After calming himself down, he looked into the other person's eyes and realized that Honey wasn't joking (he hadn't been joking at all). So he swallowed, brought the glass to his lips, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Can I... leave now?"

"Of course... However, we should meet again soon, Kyle... no, Mr. Wang Kai!"

How did the old man from the chamber of commerce know my real name?

Wang Kai felt a sudden, inexplicable fear rise in his heart again, but when he heard "we'll meet again soon," he forced a smile in response and strode towards the hotel entrance, only to be stopped by a soldier as soon as he reached the door.

"Ah, didn't Hani let me through? Why am I still..."

"Sir, please give me the password, listen carefully..."

Password? What password? This is completely baffling...

Just as Wang Kai was filled with doubt, the soldier cleared his throat and shouted, "A man to the death..."

"It's a boy!"

The three words had barely left his mouth when the soldier nodded and said, "Sir, please come with me. Someone wants to see you!"

What's going on? He suddenly called me "Sir," his attitude changed way too quickly. After realizing that the other party meant no harm and was just a messenger soldier, Wang Kai had no choice but to follow.

Actually, it wasn't a very long distance; it was just a few meters away from the bar, next to a beautifully decorated aristocratic carriage.

The soldier quietly reached out and gently knocked on the side door of the carriage. The side door quickly opened a crack, just wide enough for one person to pass through.

Wang Kai walked to the door, and before he could even peek inside properly, a familiar voice, one he hadn't heard for months, rang out...

"Wang Ergou, what are you looking at? Come on up! If anyone else finds me here, neither of us will be able to leave!"
