Chapter 98: Updating...

The noise in the barracks that filled it with life died down after the sound of footsteps penetrated through.

Everyone looked ahead and saw Commander Aldric Vayne walking into the barracks.

Like diligent soldiers, they quickly stood in formation and waited for instructions from Commander Aldric Vayne.

"At ease." Commander Aldric Vayne nodded his head in satisfaction. He was pleased with this year’s recruit.

"I will not beat around the bush, and I don’t even have the time to do so." Commander Aldric Vayne pulled out a paper sheet and began reading out loud. "Everyone will be assigned to a partner who will guard a designated area under my territory. Now I will assign the team number and its members. When your name is called out, raise your hands and stand together quietly."

"Team One will consist of Yumi and Elrica. This team will watch over streets 51, 52, and 53."

Leon looked to his right. He saw a man carrying a broadsword and a timid girl with a staff raising their hands.

"Close range and long range are covered. It looks like the commander carefully analyzed everyone’s specialty before putting them together. But how will he find out? I didn’t provide any combat report, nor do I know if I put my skills on my resume. How will I be assessed?’ Despite being in a fantasy world," Leon hasn’t fought anyone yet, and he awakened his skills recently. So he was worried that because of this lack of knowledge, he would be assigned a bad partner.

However, all the worries vanished when Leon heard Commander Aldric Vayne call out his name.

"Team Twenty-four will consist of Leon and Pooland. This team will watch over streets 11, 12, and 13."

Without raising his hand, Leon looked to his left in surprise. He saw Pooland was giving the same look as him. They both walked out and stood together behind the file of the teams.

"Brother, I didn’t expect we would work together." Pooland whispered softly while chuckling.

"Me neither." Leon shook his head, smiling helplessly. He too didn’t expect his partner would be Pooland. Well, it was for the best. He would rather have someone who he was close with rather than some random person who could have any kind of weird personality.

"Also, isn’t street 13 where you live?"

"Yes. That is where I live now."

"You are so lucky. You can visit your wife anytime you want." Pooland sighed in distress. "Unfortunately, I live on street 15. Not too far yet not too close."

Leon didn’t answer, as he was ecstatic thinking about this too. This was double happiness. He could protect his wives and slack off whenever he wanted.

At that moment, Commander Aldric Vayne has finished assigning the teams. He looked at everyone’s faces, memorizing them deeply before speaking. "Your guard uniform is inside the locker room. Everyone picks up one set for themselves and changes into them right here. Today is the first day of your work. So go and get familiar with the places you are assigned to."

"Yes, commander." Everyone saluted with their hands on their chests before leaving.

Leon and Pooland walked out with their arms on each other’s shoulders. They laughed as they headed toward the locker room. They picked up a set of guard uniforms from the stalk and got naked right on the spot.

"Brother, do you think I can marry another woman?" Pooland giggled as he asked Leon.

"I don’t know. It’s your wish." Leon shrugged his shoulders while removing his pants. Fortunately, he was wearing underwear, or his monster would have been showcased to the world. However, the outline it created was too eye-catching to not notice.

Trembling, Pooland pointed his finger at Leon’s cock. "Broth–brother, what is that!?"

Pooland has never seen or heard anyone’s future heritage be so magnificent. He knew if he had this weapon, every woman would be conquered by him. He felt jealous in his heart.

Not just Pooland, everyone else in the locker was looking at Leon’s little brother. Their eyes were open with shock. They didn’t expect their fellow colleague to have such a hidden skill. Unfortunately, this was a man’s locker room, or it would have been mayhem.

"Hehehe...it’s nothing." Leon smirked with his lips curved up. He wanted to let everyone witness his little brother shining in glory, but now was not the time. He quickly put on the guard uniform, as he didn’t want to slack off on the first day of their job.

However, Pooland would let him go so easily. He grabbed Leon’s shoulders and buttered as they walked out of the barrack with weird glances from the men. "Brother. I will give you everything! Just tell me your secret. How did you make it grow that strong? You don’t know I have a beautiful sister at home. Her beauty knows no bounds. She is waiting for a destined one. If you say it, then I can..."

Leon side-eyed and asked with a hint of interest. "How old is she?"

"Hehehe..." Pooland chuckled. Whenever he mentioned his sister, the man would always be attracted. "She is 17. Just the prime—"

Pooland, who expected Leon to be over the moon—revealing his sister’s age and figure—cut him off in the middle of his conversation. Instead of fawning over him, Leon was giving him a look of pure disgust.

"Brother, why...why are you making that face?" Pooland asked nervously.

Leon puffed up his chest and spoke with great arrogance. "Do you think this lion cares about weak rabbits? It wants juicy, meaty cows. The ones filled with milk and need breeding."

"You mean?" Pooland asked in confusion, as he couldn’t understand the terminology.

Leon understood this world was filled with country bumpkins. So, he didn’t mind enriching Pooland’s vision.

"I mean old, mature women. The goddesses roaming on earth."

"Huh?" Pooland was dumbfounded. He never thought his brother’s taste in women would be so wild. In the age where the newer generation discarded the older, mature women, his brother was showing admiration towards them.

Chapter - 22

Pooland wanted to refute Leon, but seeing the genuine admiration on his face, he closed his mouth. He could only nod his head along. "I see, brother. Unfortunately, I do not have any older sister."

"It doesn’t matter." Leon smirked, patting Pooland’s shoulder. Instead, he asked with curiosity. "But do you have any lonely aunt?"

"Huh?"

...

"Thank you, lads. I will remember your name. I hope you don’t abandon us like the previous guys." An elderly old woman supported herself with a crutch, speaking with concern in her voice.

Pooland patted his chest and spoke with absolute confidence. "Don’t worry, Grandma Lily. We promise we will always watch over your flower shop and routinely check on you. We will make these streets as safe as the emperor’s palace!"

Leon, standing behind, watched the granny give kind words of advice to Pooland. They have cleared almost all the shops and residents in streets 11, 12, and 13. The only places left to visit were Elara’s Tailor Shop and the old man’s jewelry shop.

Of course, Leon doesn’t have to go check up on Elara’s tailor shop, as he is the man of the house now. So, the place left for them was the old man’s jewelry shop.

’I don’t know what kind of help that old man needed from me and the promise of returning his wealth. Well, I will just tell him what I told the other victims. Just go ask Commander Aldric Vayne.’ Leon thought to himself, looking at the red roses dancing on the shelves.

The old man’s jewelry shop.

"Oh, so you finally became a city guard. Congrats." The old man nodded his head in approval while glancing at Leon and Pooland. Especially Leon, whom he felt had his vitality increased once again.

"Thank you, old man." Leon bowed slightly.

"Don’t call me old man. Call me Uncle Richard." The old man spoke sternly. "Also, what about my wealth? Have you retrieved every single piece of them?"

"Ol—I mean, Uncle Richard. You don’t have to worry. I have brought back all of your stolen wealth. It’s just, if you want to get it, you have to go ask the commander yourself," Leon answered, rubbing the back of his head.

"You want to go get it myself? Have you seen my crackling bones? Do you expect me to walk all the way up there?" Uncle Richard shouted angrily. His withered skin was contracting as he spoke.

"But we can’t get it ourselves. We are on duty..."

Leon tried to calm Uncle Richard down, but he wouldn’t listen. He pointed a finger at Pooland’s confused face and ordered. "You just made a great promise to help us. So, go bring my stolen wealth from your commander. I do not want to see a single piece missing."

"But...but it is late at night. We will be off duty in a while." Pooland awkwardly spoke. He didn’t want to do heavy lifting now. He wanted to get a good night’s rest, hugging his wives.
