A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1939: If I Say I’m Here To Kill You, Will You Be Afraid

Rex sat at the back, watching the changes in the orc’s expression with a seeming smile. The orc who wanted to regain control of the flying steed did not stop Connie.

It was no secret that there were spies in the Falk Tribe. Even between him and Connie, he was unsure who actually worked for Auster.

Previously, when Connie went to Rodu on her own, her schedule was leaked. She only managed to avoid the opponent’s ambush because the route she took was too strange. That was how she managed to reach Chaos City without harm.

This time, for the peace talks at Chaos City, the orcs were divided into two parties. Auster wanted to gain the final say for the orc tribes, and an ambush midway was his final chance.

Rex had done some setups, but because there was no one he could trust within the Falk Tribe, he accompanied Connie for this trip to Chaos City.

This orc flying the steed was also casually picked. Since they could not guarantee the other party’s loyalty no matter how meticulous they were in their selection, they might as well choose someone randomly and rule him out.

From his unusual anxiousness, Rex could tell that this orc was bribed, or should he say threatened, by Auster.

“Chief, why don’t I steer the steed? You can take a good rest behind,” the beast tamer said carefully, trying to hide his anxiousness.

“Do you think you’re more capable than me?” Connie looked askance at him.

“No, no. I’m just worried that it would be too tiring for you, Chief.” The orc quickly shook his head.

“It’s alright. I find it fun. You can take a rest at the back.” Connie pulled on the reins around the white bird, and flew southward.

Upon seeing that, the orc quickly said, “Hey, hey, hey, you flew in the wrong direction. Chaos City should be on that side. Do you see that tall mountain ahead? You should fly in that direction.”

Connie blushed slightly. She said with conviction, “Who says so? This is right. I have a super good sense of direction!”

“I’ve flown to Chaos City hundreds of times, and I’ve always gone this way. Across the mountain would be plains all the way, and it would be closer to Chaos City that way.” The beast tamer’s forehead was filled with perspiration. “Please listen to me, I won’t be wrong about it.”

“I’m not listening, I’m not listening!” Connie shook her head as she locked her gaze forward. “The direction I’ve set my sight on is definitely right! There will be no mistake at all!”

“But…” the beast tamer wanted to continue.

“What’s there on the mountain?” Rex suddenly said.

Rex’s deep voice made the beast tamer’s heart skip a beat. Following that, he felt chills down his spine. He turned back rigidly with a smile, and said, “There’s… There’s snow.”

He felt as though Rex had seen through all his secrets the moment they locked gazes.

“I’m afraid of the cold, I’m not going over!” Connie rejected even more resolutely. She patted the big white bird’s back to accelerate it forward toward the south. In no time at all, that tall mountain had become a tiny black dot.

“It’s over…”

The beast tamer had lost all hope as he sat defeatedly on the bird’s back.

“Are you going to jump down, or do you want me to kick you down?” Rex asked the beast tamer coldly.

“I just want my family to continue living. Why aren’t you giving me this chance…” the beast tamer howled hysterically at Rex and Connie.

“Hm?” Connie looked at the beast tamer with bewilderment.

“I’m going to kill you!” The beast tamer suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, and dashed toward Connie’s back.

However, the moment the tip of the knife was out, Rex had already kicked the beast tamer on his back.

The beast tamer could only let out a sharp shrill before he flew out. A very, very long time later, there was a low thud of something falling to the ground.

Connie finally got back to her senses as she asked Rex, “Was he also bribed by Auster?”

“What do you think?” Rex rolled his eyes. He had no idea how he should praise this precious disciple of his.

“I think that’s the case.” Connie nodded seriously.

“It looks like I have to work on teaching you how to read people after we return from this meeting,” Rex said with a sigh, feeling as though he still had a long way to go.

“Master, actually, even if you hadn’t done anything, he wouldn’t have been able to stab me,” Connie said seriously. “I’m confident about that.”

“Well, I’m not confident about that.” Rex shook his head.

“Now, which direction should we fly in?” Connie asked as she looked left and right.

“Didn’t you just say that you had a super good sense of direction?”

“I’ll lose my sense of direction once I get nervous…” Connie’s face reddened. She looked left and right again, and pointed in a random direction. “Let’s go, it’s here!”

“Why isn’t she here?” Auster asked with a frown as he watched a bird fly across the sky slowly half an hour later.

“She should… should be arriving soon…” The orc who had been very confident previously wiped his cold sweat off his forehead as he panicked inside.

The orcs all had different expressions as they looked up at the empty sky. No matter how slowly they flew, Connie should have been here.

They could not help but recall the previous ambush, when they also waited there for a very long time. In the end, they did not even see a single feather when Connie arrived at Chaos City.

“There better be no problem with the person you found.” Auster glared at him.

“His entire family is in my hands. There will definitely be no problem.” The orc wiped away his cold sweat and nodded profusely.

Another half an hour passed.

They still did not see Connie. However, a purple-striped griffin appeared behind them.

“Alex!”

All of them could not help but exclaim when they saw that suave man standing on the back of the purple-striped griffin.

Mag looked at the mountain range that joined to form one like below him. The orc powerhouses led by Auster frowned. There were six 10th-tier powerhouses alone and more than 10 orcs at the 8th-tier and 9th-tier. This was obviously most of the pro-war orcs.

However, judging from the looks of it, they seemed not to have met Connie yet.

That made him heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was puzzled. This place was not far from the Falk Tribe, and was a place one would have to pass by on the way to Chaos City. Could it be that Connie had not set off? He did not meet Connie on his way here, either.

“Alex, what are you doing here at the orc tribes?!” Auster raised his voice warily. The 10th-tier powerhouses also inched closer to Alex.

News of Alex killing Bruno had already reached the orcs, and Auster had been one of the people behind the assassination of Alex back then. Could he be here for him?

After losing an arm, Auster’s capabilities had decreased significantly. He had witnessed the match between Alex and the devil, and would not dare to raise a battle with Alex.

“If I say I’m here to kill you, will you be afraid?” Mag looked at Auster with a seeming smile..
