I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Seeing Harry suddenly rush forward, Anno calmly accepted the challenge.

"A level 4 trainee soldier's physical abilities should be about the same as mine!"

Through the exchange with Tommy and his group, Anno gained a preliminary understanding of the trainee soldiers.

Harry is only one level above Tommy and the others, and Anno is confident he can handle him.

"when!"

The swords clashed, sending sparks flying.

The two of them exerted force at the same time, trying to push each other down.

Logically speaking, the way warriors are trained results in them having the greatest strength among professionals of the same level.

Harry was less than 1.7 meters tall, not strong enough, and just a trainee soldier.

In their struggle, Anno actually gained a slight advantage!

"Bang!"

Anno kicked Harry away, then gripped his sword in a backhand grip, watching Harry warily.

"asshole!"

Harry looked down and saw the large footprints on his clothes; he was furious.

"Die! Sweep through!"

Harry rushed to Anno's side, his large sword flashing horizontally at incredible speed.

After using [Sweep], Harry's slash was so fast that it was almost invisible.

But Anno has not let his guard down since the start of the battle.

When Anno noticed that Harry's actions were different from before, he guessed that the other party was about to use a skill.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, Anno retreated with all his might to avoid it.

In the end, Harry's knife narrowly missed Anno's chest.

"You dodged it!"

Anno breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Looking down, he saw a 20-centimeter-long gash on his chest.

The wound wasn't deep; it had just broken the skin, and fresh blood was flowing out.

"What happened?" Anno frowned. He had clearly dodged the attack. "Is this a warrior's skill?"

Harry was taken aback when he saw Anno dodge in time.

But when he saw blood flowing from Anno's chest, he laughed happily.

"You think you can just dodge this sweeping attack? The blade's aura can cut through your skin even from a distance! This is what happens when you anger me!"

"Good heavens!" Anno looked up at Harry in surprise, thinking to himself, "He's even explaining things to the enemy. How has this guy survived this long?"

"Prepare to die!"

Harry, gripping his longsword, charged forward once more.

Anno leaned down, his gaze fixed on Harry's hand holding the knife.

"Clang!"

The swords clashed once again.

But this time, Anno didn't match Harry's strength.

The instant the two collided, Anno extended his left hand, aiming at Harry's right hand holding the knife.

"[Acid Spray]!"

"Ah~!"

Harry's bloodcurdling screams echoed through the street.

The long knife fell to the ground from his hand. Harry stared in horror at his mangled right hand, screaming incessantly.

Anno seized the opportunity and placed the short sword against the other's neck.

Harry's face turned pale, his screams stopped, and he kept calling out, "Calm down, brother, calm down!"

Burton and his companions in front of the tavern were stunned.

The situation changed too quickly.

Harry just slashed Anno's chest.

In the blink of an eye, Anno's dagger was at Harry's neck.

It's worth noting that Harry once used [Sweep] to instantly kill a level 5 trainee warrior.

Who would have thought that someone who doesn't even wear a professional badge could injure Harry?

"You bastard, let go of the adult!"

Burton and the others stepped forward anxiously, pointing at Anno and asking, "Do you know who Lord Harry is? Sharp Karl, the captain of the Bloodstain Mercenary Group, ranked third in the Valcam City Mercenary Group, is Lord Harry's brother!"

If you dare harm Lord Harry, Lord Sharp will not let you get away with it!

Upon hearing this, Harry quickly nodded, despite the pain, and said, "Yes, yes, yes! My brother is a level 10 knight. If you hurt me, my brother won't let you get away with it!"

I was so startled that I forgot to mention my brother's name.

"A level 10 knight, he must have powerful backers!" Anno sighed. He finally understood why Harry was so arrogant.

Knights of such high rank are simply not someone Anno can afford to offend at present.

However, if Harry were to be let off the hook so easily, Anno didn't believe the other party would be grateful to him.

"Given this guy's character, there's a high chance he'll resort to underhanded tactics, maybe even directly asking his brother for help against me!"

Just as Anno was having a headache, two armored guards came running from a distance, shouting, "What are you doing? Fighting is prohibited in town!"

Harry saw the two guards as if they were his saviors.

"Help! Someone's trying to kill me!"

When Anno saw that the guards had arrived, he put away his sword.

Seeing this, Harry quickly moved away from Anno and hid behind Burton and the others.

"What happened?" One of the middle-aged guards approached the group, frowning as he asked, "Why are you fighting with weapons?"

Harry, playing the villain, pointed at Anno and shouted, "Guards, this scoundrel wants to kill me! He's going to kill someone in town! Arrest him immediately!"

"Hmm?" Brooke glanced at the injury on Harry's hand, a hint of disgust and surprise flashing in her eyes.

What I hate is that Harry always causes trouble whenever he comes to town.

Surprisingly, in the small town of Gruul, someone actually managed to hurt Harry?

Brooke looked at the ragged Anno with some surprise and asked, "Is that so?"

Anno sensed Brooke's dislike for Harry and breathed a sigh of relief, answering truthfully, "No! The truth is, these people wanted to kill me, and I was just acting in self-defense!"

"Nonsense!"

Harry jumped out and yelled, "It was clearly you, you damned beast, who injured me and then turned around and accused me! Guards, arrest him and hang him! Hang him!"

"Harry Carl!" Brooke showed no mercy to Harry, his voice low and menacing. "The report I received concerns that you were harassing a woman!"

"How is that possible?"

Harry looked incredulous and retorted, "Why would I do such a thing? Bring the person who filed the report here, and I'll confront him face-to-face. He must have mistaken me for someone else!"

"A face-to-face confrontation!" Brooke scoffed, demanding, "Do you intend to retaliate against the person who filed the report in private?"

"I..." Harry hadn't expected Brooke to target him like this, and realizing that this wasn't Walkam, his voice gradually weakened.

"Damn it, what bad luck! I'm going to find a pastor then."

"Wait!" Brooke glanced at Lenn and the two dark-haired women hiding behind the tavern door and said, "I'm going to get the evidence first. None of you are allowed to leave until I'm back!"

Harry, holding up his right hand with a contorted expression, said, "Damn it, can't you see I'm injured?"

"Owen, go and fetch the old priest to treat our Lord Harry!" Brooke turned and ordered another guard in his twenties.

"Alright!" Owen smiled at Harry and said, "Bear with it for a bit, I'll be right back!"

Harry watched as one guard went into the tavern to talk to Lenn, while the other turned and walked towards the church. He couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Those two bastards!"

Anno, who had been watching the scene with great interest, noticed Harry looking over and chuckled, "Looks like you're not very popular in this town!"

The two guards clearly had a bad impression of Harry and didn't give him any face at all.

"Damn it, they're just two mere guards!"

Harry was so angry at being teased that he was practically bursting with rage.

However, he could only say these things.

Those who can become guards are at least level 6 professional warriors, and are not people he can afford to mess with.

Moreover, the guards were the army of Viscount Renault, who guarded the border.

No matter how arrogant Harry was, he didn't dare to clash with the guards, otherwise even his brother couldn't protect him.
