"Oh, your wisdom leaves me in awe! Yes, your astute analysis is completely correct! May I praise you by kissing your toes, wise sir?" Harry spared no compliments, patting Du Chen's backside, although his flattery was quite disgusting.

Snowbeasts are a detestable race. They should all be sent to the gallows!

Du Chen felt somewhat pleased with himself for having such thoughts. After all, it was a consensus in the world of fighter gods. Now that he could think this way, it meant that he had truly assimilated into this world to some extent.

"Harry, I warn you, if you dare to try and kiss my toes again, I'll cut off your tongue and stuff it up your ass!" Du Chen threatened fiercely.

Harry cowered his neck, instantly resembling a turtle as he retracted his large head into his body.

"Hasn't the Imperial Government and the Holy Church investigated the cause?" Du Chen asked.

"Who knows, noble young master? I am just a lowly Snowbeast, a humble bandit. How could I have the qualifications to know about the affairs of the government and the church?" Harry said pitifully.

At this moment, Steve had also finished "exercising" and came back, looking refreshed and composed as he walked back to the captives.

"Francis, it's quite interesting. The roar just now signifies an impending earthquake. Damn it, why didn't anyone mention this before we came?" Steve complained.

Du Chen said, "Who cares? We're just here to provide disaster relief. We'll distribute silver coins to the victims. These matters aren't our concern!"

Although he said that, he was actually contemplating. The roar was the source of everything and the reason why countless victims were displaced... Did he have a chance to do a "good deed"?

He should first use his status as a member of the Holy Church's Jin Yi Wei to gather some information!

Do what one is capable of, and don't overestimate oneself!

Before Du Chen could finish his thoughts, Steve exclaimed, "Snowbeast! Aliiza, why did you capture a Snowbeast trash as a prisoner? Take him over and kill him!" He waved his hand.

Harry panicked and crawled to Steve's feet, pleading, "Oh, noble sir, magnificent young master, please spare me! I am just a lowly, insignificant Snowbeast!" He kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down his face along with his runny nose. "As long as you spare me, I am willing to do anything for you, servant, slave, male pet, anything!"

"Get the hell out of here with your male pet!" Steve kicked him away.

Du Chen also looked at Harry with disdain. No wonder people said that Snowbeasts were the scum of society. This race really had no sense of shame.

Waving his hand, Du Chen didn't willing to speak to him anymore.

Several mercenaries pounced on Harry, and his expression instantly turned frantic. His already pale face lost even more color as he shouted, "Don't kill me! I can be useful to you! Very useful!"

Du Chen signaled for the mercenaries to stop and smiled, "What use can you possibly have? And very useful at that!?"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Harry blinked slyly and smirked, "For example, I can tell you that the roar is likely produced when two powerful fighter gods are fighting!"

"What?" Du Chen grabbed Harry's collar and gave Steve a questioning look.

Steve understood his younger brother's meaning and nodded, "It's very possible. According to our family records, our ancestor Siglu once melted a mountain with flames when he was angry, causing an eruption of magma, resulting in a major disaster."

"Hehe, I haven't finished yet," Harry continued with a smile, "Our Snowbeast noses are quite useful. We often know some interesting things. For example, there has been a strong stench coming with the sea breeze from the south of Antwerp Harbor recently. When combined with the roar produced by a powerful battle, you noble and wise young masters must have guessed it right. Yes, there is a battle happening in the ocean south of Antwerp Harbor, and it's highly likely to be deep under the sea, otherwise it wouldn't cause an earthquake!"

After speaking, he looked at Du Chen and Steve with a flattering smile.

Du Chen laughed, "Continue!"

"Alright, young master, you must have also thought of it. The south of Antwerp Harbor is where the fighter God Academy is located. That area of the sea is off-limits for the three continents without the fighter God Academy's permission. So..."

He closed his mouth, leaving the opportunity to appear wise to the two respected young masters.

"So something interesting must have happened at the fighter God Academy!" Du Chen exclaimed.

"Oh, I praise you, great and wise young master..."

"Enough!" Du Chen interrupted him and asked Steve, "Big brother, how should we handle this?"

"Pretend we don't know!" Steve said firmly, "If even a Snowbeast can guess that something is wrong at the fighter God Academy, I'm afraid the imperial officials and the Holy Church in Antwerp Harbor must also know. That means our father, the Deputy Chief of the Empire, must have received the news too, but he didn't tell me. This shows that whatever happened at the fighter God Academy is the highest secret of the Empire, something that even his own son shouldn't be informed about..."

Du Chen interjected with a smile, "What shouldn't be known, shouldn't be known. Otherwise, it'll bring trouble. I understand!"

"Oh, my dear brother, you're so clever. I really want to give you a big kiss!" Saying that, Steve really opened his arms and pounced on Du Chen.

Du Chen pushed Steve away and glanced at Harry, frowning, "What should we do with this Snowbeast? His nose seems to be somewhat useful!"

Steve couldn't help but sneer, "You're not thinking of making him our servant, are you? No, Snowbeasts are vile creatures, also known as the Betrayal Clan. They can be bought with just a copper coin to betray their masters. That's why humans treat loyal hunting dogs better than Snowbeasts!"

Du Chen's heart sank. Yes, this kind of race absolutely cannot be kept by his side!

"Well then, what should we do..."

"Young master, please don't kill me!" Harry suddenly grabbed Du Chen's leg and shouted desperately, "I beg you! The truth is, I can be very useful to you!"

"You may be useful, but you are still a Snowbeast!" Du Chen coldly exclaimed, "Aliza, seize him!"

Suddenly, Steve laughed, "How about this? We take him and the other captives to Antwerp Harbor and hand them over to the imperial officials. It would be a great contribution to the empire, eliminating bandits. Who knows, the ladies in the harbor might see me as a hero! Just imagine, under countless burning gazes, heroically entering the city with captives and disaster relief funds..."

"Ah, my dear brother, when will you stop thinking about women?"

...

The horse caravan now had over thirty more captives, all bound and hanging on the carriage like pieces of cured meat.

Compared to the others, Snowbeast Harry received slightly better treatment. He was arranged inside the carriage - Du Chen wanted to learn more about the races of the fighter God world, and direct communication with other races was the best way.

From Harry, Du Chen and Steve learned that the flooded Nein River was to the east of Antwerp Harbor, while they were traveling on the west official road. So they hadn't witnessed the flooding, which was fortunate. It was said that the empire had already sealed off the flooded area to prevent the spread of disease among the victims. If they had taken that route, they would undoubtedly have been thoroughly checked.

After another day of travel, they arrived at their destination - the largest port of the empire and the northern starting point of the Great Triangle Golden Route, Antwerp Harbor!

They were still several hundred meters away from the city gate. Inside the carriage, while Du Chen was 'communicating' with Harry about Snowbeast customs, Harry suddenly took a deep breath, "Hey, it smells so good, the scent of a woman!"
