After they reached the alley, Fane looked around to see if anyone followed them before speaking seriously. "In the future, stop mentioning how much I look like the Supreme Warrior. I just want a normal life and don’t want to be disturbed!”
After he finished speaking, he turned over his palm and presented a black-color token. The token looked domineering and there was a dragon totem on it.
Fane immediately kept the token away after Skyler took a peep.
Psst!
Skyler took a sharp breath after he peeped a t the token. He immediately knelt. "King of War Skyler Celestino greets the Supreme Warrior and thanks you for saving me years ago. My apprentices, subordinates, and I intended to repay the Supreme Warrior, but we never got the chance all these years. I've been dreaming about meeting you, and now dreams have finally come true!"
Skyler's eyes were red when he raised his head again. Years ago, Fane not only saved his life, but he also saved the lives of his subordinates and a few of his apprentices.
Fane was surprised, but he understood Skyler's feelings. He helped Skyler up." Why don't you stand up first. If others see you doing this, I'll get into trouble! In the future, don’t address me as the Supreme Warrior. You can just call me Fane!"
"Alright, I understand!" Skyler finally understood something and smiled in embarrassment. "I'm sorry about the other day. I was too stupid and almost exposed your identity. Luckily, the Goddess of War helped explain everything on your behalf. I really thought you looked like the Supreme Warrior, and over the last few days, I was actually wondering how two people could look so alike."
"Okay!" Fane nodded. "Alright, I still need to employ some bodyguards so I'll make a move. Let's have a drink together when we’re free!"
"Wait!" Skyler immediately rushed toward Fane when he had just taken two steps forward. "Supreme Warrior, why do you still need to search for bodyguards? I have many of them with me! Many of my apprentices and subordinates keep complaining that they have nothing to do. I can just ask them to be your bodyguards. Money wouldn't be an issue as they've been wanting to repay you for so long.
They'd be willing to do it without a cent if they knew they’d be working for you!"
Fane was speechless. However, if these people truly worked as his bodyguards, their combat ability would be quite reliable. On top of that, he would not need to employ as many people.
After seeing Skyler’s anticipation, Fane nodded after he thought about it. "Alright, ask them if they’d be willing to work for m e. They can come over if they do. However, I can only pay each of them a moderate salary of two thousand per month if they work with me as people might wonder if m y expenses are too high. The most important point for them to obey is that they have to keep my identity a secret!”
"Sure, sure, sure! I’ll go back and inform them right now! You're too generous for even giving them a salary. After all, you saved our lives years ago!" Skyler was extremely happy when Fane agreed to his suggestion. He finally had a chance to repay Fane.
He could not help himself from smiling in embarrassment. "They're not the only ones. I'd also like to be your bodyguard and repay you!’’
Fane quickly waved his hand. "Don't, are you trying to frighten me? You can come to my house and have drinks with me. Just say that you're visiting your subordinates a s an excuse. Wouldn't it just reveal that I'm the Supreme Warrior if you become my bodyguard? You're an important person, so you should use this time to rest well!"
"Haha, alright! I understand what you're trying to say. In the future, I'll address you a s Head Commander Fane Woods in public!” Skyler laughed and sent Fane out. "I'll go back and let them know about this. Will fifty people be enough?"
