Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown-Chapter 534 - 531: Is This Even Human?

The two of them reached the highway.

Unfortunately, the car Qin Wuyao and the others arrived in was driven away by four bodyguards.

"How did you find such bodyguards? They’re so irresponsible," Lu Ran said speechlessly.

He was too lazy to walk.

Although it wasn’t tiring, it was way too slow!

Heading to the city, who knows how long it would take.

"I didn’t expect this either," Qin Wuyao said helplessly.

"How about calling your dad? Ask him to send someone to pick us up?" Lu Ran suggested.

"I’d like to, but I left my phone in the car, and they drove it away," Qin Wuyao shrugged helplessly.

Uh...

"Where’s your phone?" Qin Wuyao asked.

"I... um, lost it," Lu Ran replied casually.

"Seems like you’ve been having a tough time these days. Are you a backpacker? Got lost in the mountains?" Qin Wuyao asked.

"Pretty much. Lost, indeed," Lu Ran said helplessly.

"Didn’t expect any classmates from elementary school to be like you. So impressive! You look so frail, yet you could fling a big black bear," Qin Wuyao recalled the thrilling scene earlier and couldn’t help but say.

"I just like exercising. Well, let’s go; we can only walk," Lu Ran suggested.

What else can be done? We have to walk back.

And so.

The two of them set off together along the highway, planning to see if they could get lucky and encounter a ride.

Fortunately, their luck was pretty good.

There was indeed a ride.

According to Qin Wuyao’s introduction, this road was rarely visited, as it was newly developed and hadn’t yet reached the mountain, so few cars passed through.

Occasionally, some people come to camp.

A black sedan stopped beside the two of them.

Yet, when the car doors opened, out stepped two hooligans.

They looked shady.

"Can you give us a lift to the city?" Qin Wuyao asked first.

The two hooligans exchanged a glance, sizing up Qin Wuyao.

Then they looked at Lu Ran.

One of the hooligans said, "Sure, five hundred." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"That’s so expensive!" Qin Wuyao exclaimed.

"Here in the deep mountains and forests, five hundred is already cheap, missy," the hooligan replied.

"Fine, five hundred it is," Qin Wuyao was only surprised by the fare; five hundred was indeed expensive, but it was no big deal for her.

"Alright, pay up," the hooligan stretched out his hand.

"I don’t have my wallet on me," Qin Wuyao instinctively patted her pockets, but then her face fell.

Same story, left it in the car!

"Then just scan the code, transferring money works too," the hooligan said.

"I don’t have my phone on me either, but rest assured, when we reach the city, I’ll pay you immediately," Qin Wuyao promised.

"Missy, are you messing with us? Back in the car, would you still want to pay this five hundred fare?" the hooligan said with a grin.

Soon after.

His gaze flickered towards Lu Ran, then focused back on Qin Wuyao.

He said, "How about this, we won’t charge you the fare."

Qin Wuyao listened, barely ready to rejoice.

The hooligan continued, "But we can only take you; your boyfriend, all scraggly like that, we just got this new car, can’t have it getting dirty."

The implication being they’d only take Qin Wuyao, leaving Lu Ran behind.

Besides, no fare would be charged.

Wasn’t that blatantly obvious what they were up to?

"That’s not gonna work, we’re going back together," Qin Wuyao immediately shook her head.

She certainly wasn’t dumb.

Clearly seeing through the hooligans’ intentions, there was no way she’d get in their car alone.

"How about this, I’ll skip the ride, can I borrow your phone to make a call? I’ll have my dad send someone to pick me up," Qin Wuyao contemplated aloud.

"Sorry, our phone’s out of battery," the two hooligans knowingly said.

They intended to corner Qin Wuyao.

Even when looking at Qin Wuyao and Lu Ran, their gaze carried a hint of threat.

At this point.

Lu Ran couldn’t stand it any longer.

"Enough, enough. What’s the point of dragging this out, Qin Wuyao? Can’t you see what these two are up to? Why waste words with them?" Lu Ran said, speechless.

He’s not the type to dilly-dally.

Originally, he considered it their turf.

Lu Ran figured he’d go with the flow.

But as a result, these two hooligans pushed their luck.

Lu Ran had enough.

"Hey, kid, what’s that you’re saying? Believe it or not, my buddy and I could finish you right here today! This place is deserted; we could kill you, and no one would ever know!" the hooligan sneered at Lu Ran.

Even.

The two of them pulled out butterfly knives from their hands, playing tricks with them.

Clearly, they’ve been practicing those butterfly knife tricks for some time.

Lu Ran smirked.

Walked straight up.

Reached out and snatched the butterfly knives right from the hooligans’ hands.

Indeed, took them; the hooligans hadn’t even reacted, and their knives were gone.

Wait a minute, is that right?

Was this guy that badass?

Why isn’t he scared at all, instead he just came up and took the knives?

The two hooligans were about to lose it.

Yet right after.

They watched as Lu Ran took both butterfly knives in his hand, and with a twist.

Clack, clack...

The two stainless steel butterfly knives were crumpled by Lu Ran into a ball, like they were play-dough.

The two hooligans were dumbstruck.

If they hadn’t bought the knives themselves, they’d suspect they were made of paper.

"You, you..." the hooligan stammered.

Is this something humans can do?

Whack~

Lu Ran smacked him across the face.

Said casually, "What are you stuttering about? Move aside, we’re requisitioning this car."

Uh?

The two hooligans were completely at a loss.

"Don’t agree? Then consider whether your fists or heads are sturdier than these toy knives of yours, or I can give your heads a little twist too," Lu Ran said offhandedly.

The hooligans instantly fell silent.

Lu Ran went ahead, casually opened the car door.

But didn’t control his strength well.

Bam!

The car door was pulled right off by Lu Ran, held in his hand.

Uh...

Lu Ran awkwardly glanced at the hooligans.

"No problem! Bro! It’s fully insured!" the hooligan quickly said.

"That’s good, Qin Wuyao, get in," Lu Ran said to Qin Wuyao.

Qin Wuyao, still dazed.

Got in the car on her own.

Lu Ran then reattached the car door.

To prevent the door from falling off, Lu Ran pinched the metal around the door, securing it in place.

The hooligans watched, further astounded.

What exactly is this guy?

Is this even human?

Following that.

Lu Ran carefully opened the opposite car door this time being cautious, avoiding pulling it off, and got in the car.

Then stared at Qin Wuyao wide-eyed.

"Why are you sitting in the back? Drive!" Qin Wuyao instinctively said.

"I can’t," Lu Ran said nonchalantly.

Uh...

Qin Wuyao glanced at the two hooligans and said, "You two, wanna drive? Don’t worry, I’ll cover the cost for the car trouble."
