 They were both known for their immoral behaviors.

 Sean did not disturb this group of dog-headed people. He took Cecilia and the young thief into a tent closest to them.

 Inside the tent, there were seven to eight dog-headed people. They had obvious signs of injuries. Although they were given preliminary emergency aid, it was impossible for them to regain their combat power without a cleric present. If they were inside a dog-headed people’s tribe, then they would normally have been disposed of, and not be left here to waste the food. However, they were still alive, which meant only one thing.

 The magician of the Medusa Business Guild who controlled the dog-headed people’s camp still needed them to be sacrificed for the team.

 The young thief looked at Sean with confusion. However, he saw Sean pull out a knife that he had gotten from one of the dog-headed men’s bodies earlier. Then, Sean walked up and cut the throat of each of the dog-headed man inside the tent without hesitation. Blood spurted everywhere. This was a very clean and clear method of execution. Back in the game, this technique existed, and Sean had used it many times. Therefore, in the eyes of Cecilia and the young thief, Sean appeared to be very skilled.

 However, while Cecilia was already used to Sean’s strange and abnormal behavior, the young thief felt a chill through down his body at the sight of it. This was because even though he had joined the Thieves Guild, he had only ever done things like petty theft. Even when he was in a battle, he had been a guard for the Black Cat Business Guild because he had stolen things from them in the past. If he had a choice, he would never have participated in such fierce battles.

 This time, apart from the aim of becoming famous, he had come with the team because he planned to run away if the opportunity were to arise.

 But at the sight of Sean’s clean and clear methods, the young thief gave up on the idea of running away. He also pulled out his dagger, then bit the bullet and went up to end the life of the other dog-headed people in the tent. When he slit the throat of the first dog-headed man, the young thief glanced at Cecilia. She looked remarkably calm when facing such a situation. The young thief could not help but sigh, thinking that birds of a feather flock together.

 Sean was not aware of these psychological changes within the thief. He glanced at the body of the first dog-headed man the thief had dealt with and was slightly surprised: “Huh? Your technique is very professional. What’s your name?”

 “Jim,” the young thief answered carefully.

 “Jim.” Sean glanced at the thief and was surprised to find that the limits of his endurance, agility, and will attributes were all fairly high. However, even though the numbers were good, they were still not enough to impress Sean. “You should have become an assassin,” Sean said. “Being a thief has buried too much of your potential.”

 “Assassin?” Jim’s heart trembled.

 However, after Sean said that, he did not say anything further. Jim’s growth potential was slightly higher than that of Anyers, but he was not valuable enough to be personally trained by Sean. However, at this moment, Sean suddenly thought of a person from the Tindus Domain. If there was anyone in the Portoroa Kingdom who was worthy to be discovered and trained by Sean, it would be that man.

 Alfred was a person with a lot of character.

 It was just that Sean had to take care of the matter at hand first before going to find him.

 Without thinking too much of anything else, Sean soon left the tent. He had only made a move here because he had wanted to test out some of his ideas.

 Reality proved that Sean’s previous guesses and thoughts were all correct. The only way for Sean to obtain experience points was through commissions. If he did not reach a commission agreement, then he would not be able to receive any experience points. Also, if he had already formed a team, then he would be able to gain experience points regardless of whether the team members were next to him or not. This aspect was a little different from the game. In the game, there was a restriction for team mode. If players wanted to gain experience points through team mode, then the other members had to be in their line of sight.

 However, in this world, Sean was not sure about the range of experience points. But at the very least, if he was in the same dungeon map as the one in the game, then there should be no problems.

 With a casual wave of his hand, Sean assigned all the experience points he gained to the [Scholar] profession. Originally, these experience points would have been enough to level up a rank one profession to level three. However, because of the high degree of the profession side-effect, in the end, Sean was only able to increase the experience bar of his [Scholar] profession to the critical point. He was not able to officially start his profession yet.

 Therefore, Sean thought for a moment and then got into another tent. This time, however, several dog-headed people were still walking around the tent to take care of the injured. They were startled by the unexpected appearance of Sean and Cecilia. But they immediately realized that they were under attack by the enemy.

 Before these dog-headed people could sound out an alarm or fight back, Sean launched his own violent attack.

 The Charles’ Sword turned into a sword shadow. With the alternating assistance of the skills combo sprint and slash, the Mysterious Sword Skill burst out the most powerful attacks it had ever made in Sean’s hand. Because everyone in front of Sean was an enemy and not his own men, Sean’s slash combo attack was straightforward and without any hesitation. At this moment, Sean felt a completely different experience from this Mysterious Sword Skill.

 If the previous confrontation with Hank was the result of continuous accurate calculations, then this time, Sean’s actions were due to the intensity of his rage. It seemed that at this moment, what was in Sean’s hand was not a sword but a ferocious demonic beast that had been let loose and was trying to devour all the enemies in front of it.

 When Cecilia had only just started to chant her magic spell, the battle on Sean’s side was over.

 The three dog-headed men who had been walking around earlier inside the tent were now all beheaded. Even those injured dog-headed people, who were lying down inside the tent, had also been killed. However, unlike the calm inside the previous tent, this tent could be regarded as bloody. A lot of fresh blood and amputated limbs were splattered everywhere. It was enough to make anyone experiencing a battlefield for the first time feel fear or even create a traumatic memory for them.

 Sean was slightly stunned. Then, he thought of Cecilia, so he turned around with a worried face. However, he saw that Cecilia had only let out a little bit of her magic and had turned a blind eye to the scene in front of her.

 For some reason, Sean suddenly felt a bit sorry for her at this moment.

 What kind of misfortune had she encountered that made her, a 13 or 14-year-old girl, be so calm when looking at such a bloody scene? Sean could feel that Cecilia was not faking her calmness. Also, her calmness felt like her normal calm state. If she had not experienced a scene bloodier than this one in the past, she would not be able to be so calm now.

 This was why Sean felt sorry for her.

 As a result, the joy of raising the proficiency level of the Mysterious Sword Skill, slash combo, and sprint was completely gone.

 Afterward, Sean directly assigned the experience points to the [Scholar] profession, officially activating it. Sean walked up next to Cecilia and patted her on the head, “I don’t care what it was that you experienced, I will definitely help you take revenge… This is my promise to you.”

 Cecilia was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and nodded, “En.”

 However, Cecilia knew that it would not be easy for her to get revenge. Her issue could not be easily solved by just relying on her own strength. As for this truth, Cecilia naturally would not tell Sean. It was not that she did not trust him, she just did not want to see any more tragedies occur.

 She liked it when she and Sean would get a headache about money, and then take risks together to make money. They had been living a simple life together. She enjoyed those days. It was not that she had never thought about taking revenge, she just did not to drag others into it. At least, before she became an adult, she did not want to lose everything because of her hatred, especially since she had met Sean.

 After pushing open the tent, Jim seemed to have noticed the invisible murderous aura emitting from Sean, so he hesitated and did not dare to get too close. He did not know what had happened in the tent, but judging from the smell of blood, the scene inside the tent was not a pleasant sight. He had heard what Sean said to Cecilia, which was a conversation he did not want to interrupt.

 “Let’s go and create some trouble with those dog-headed people,” Sean said lightly. “There are many tents here. It is too troublesome to go through them one by one. There are probably no more than 50 dog-headed people left who can still fight. After we have taken care of the two dog-headed magicians, we will set fire to the entire camp. Then, we will come back to the entrance and take care of the rest of the dog-headed people that have escaped.”

 Jim nodded, as he did not dare to contradict Sean.

 Maybe it was Sean’s victory over Hank that had frightened Jim, or maybe it was Sean’s clean and crisp technique in the tent that had shocked him. Sean only had a rank two profession, yet Jim, who had a rank three profession, did not dare to say anything.

 On the other hand, Sean took one more look at Jim and then sighed, “You are not fit to be an assassin with your current state of mind. If you want to stand out or become famous, you have to overcome your fear. Otherwise, you will soon be forgotten by history, even if you are lucky enough to be an assassin.”
