Chapter 112 Drink to Our Deaths Today!
Hearing Lorne take the initiative to ask him something, Zorn naturally put down their chopsticks and bowls. He was also a shrewd person. He was a first-class master at making up stories. He had already made up an identity and background for himself on the way here.
Therefore, he immediately rolled his eyes and started bragging.
“I only hang out with them. I can barely be considered to be in their business. I’m just not an ordinary medicinal herbs businessman nor do I have to travel from place to place.
“Instead, I’m using this stubborn energy to make money by relying on my strength.
“In the past, when Charles and the others were in the medicinal herbs business, they needed to travel all over the place. On the way, it was inevitable that they would encounter some robbers and thieves. Not only would they lose their goods and money, sometimes, if they were unlucky, but they would also even kill people. “A brawny man like me is needed to protect them. I’m in charge of protecting the caravan’s safety along the way. I have a bunch of underlings under me as well.
“I’m in some business that’s similar to protecting the caravan, so I’m quite familiar with Charles and the others.”
Lorne listened to the identity that Zorn made up and could not help but ponder for a while.
He was a f*cking bodyguard or something?!
It was very similar to the escort business he saw in shows. They would escort the business from one place to another every day. Then, if they were not careful, they would end up in a massacre, or they would be escorting some shocking treasure or something like that.
Sure enough, this made sense.
This strong, tower-like man was a waste of talent if he did not do these types of business.
Lorne immediately poured another bowl of wine for Zorn.
“Come, come, come. Let me drink to you, friend. I think you are well-suited for this profession!
“Those robbers are all blood-thirsty and don’t care about their lives. Only a man like you, Qiang, would dare to walk in front of them!”
When Zorn heard Lorne’s praise for him, he immediately felt a little smug. Although his identity was made up, there was nothing wrong with calling him a real man. Therefore, Zorn immediately picked up the bowl and finished it again.
As if he was addicted to bragging, Zorn hit the table in excitement.
“Lorne, do you know where I was before I started this business?”
Lorne looked up and down in confusion, then asked curiously, “Where did you work?”
With a mysterious look on his face, Zoon leaned his head over and whispered, “He and I used to be in the military camp, and I even went to the front line to kill enemies!”
Lorne looked at Zoon in surprise as Zorn pointed at Kyle.
“Impressive, Qiang. I didn’t expect you to have such an experience. No wonder you have the ability to do this line of work. It turns out that you were also someone who came from a military background!
“I admire people like you the most. Those who dare to go to the front lines are all iron-blooded men. From now on, you’re my sworn brother!
“No need to say anymore. I’ll pour you another drink to cheers to!”
Without saying anything else, Lorne poured another full cup for Zorn. The Demon King did not notice anything wrong at all. He picked up the cup and downed it in one go.
After letting out a burp, Zorn shook his head. He was on his way to not being sober soon.
Lorne looked at Zorn’s expression and thought for a while. Then, he asked, “What happened then?
“Qiang, you went to the front line and killed the enemy. I don’t know which general you were under. It must be a famous team since you’re this amazing!”
Zorn, who was still slightly sober, immediately used his lively mind.
Then, he winked a little weirdly and said at the same time, “I used to be General Zorn’s subordinate. I was a vanguard soldier under him.
Lorne was surprised.
“Are you talking about General Zorn?”
Zorn immediately nodded heavily.
“You’re right. The only and only General Zorn!
“I used to be a vanguard soldier under General Zorn. Every time I went out to battle, I would be the first to charge at the front. I can be considered to have accumulated a lot of military merits.
“It’s a pity that after my Loland Empire settled, the army gave orders for soldiers to be discharged and return to their homes. As a result, quite a number of soldiers left.
“I just blended in and returned to my hometown to start the business of protecting the merchant caravans. Otherwise, I would be able to enjoy a moderate official position in the army now.”
Lorne immediately clicked his tongue in admiration.
“Amazing, Qiang, you’re really amazing. I originally thought that you were just a big-headed soldier in the army.
“I didn’t expect you to be a vanguard soldier. You’re actually one of Zorn’s subordinates. Then I really truly respect you!”
As he spoke, Lorne poured another full cup of wine for Zorn.
“Qiang, let me pour you another one. You must drink this wine to expand the territory of our Loland Empire and successfully kill our enemies!”
After that, Zorn drank the entire cup of wine in a daze.
He had already been praised by Lorne to the point that he could not handle it anymore. He drank several more in a daze.
Even though he had been practicing his alcohol tolerance these days and had mentally prepared himself, he was still unable to withstand such a swift and violent drinking method.
Therefore, after drinking this bowl, Zorn felt a little dizzy.
Beside him, Kyle watched the two of them go back and forth. Although he did not say anything, he watched everything with interest.
Zorn, who was a tough man, usually looked quite shrewd. However, at this juncture, he was being played by Lorne like a fiddle.
He could not tell that Lorne was taking the opportunity to pour him more wine. If he was really drunk until he could not get up, then he, Zorn, would be in big trouble today.
However, Kyle did not expose him. He was happy to watch the show from the side. In the future, he would become a laughing stock, and he could take it out at any time to tease this demon king.
After Zorn finished drinking the wine in his cup, Lorn took a stance and was ready to pour a full bowl for him.
Zorn immediately shook his head.
“No, no, no. Let’s take a breath. I need to rest!”
Lorne did not want to back down from a fight. He only said in a slightly monotonous tone, “Old Qiang, I heard from Old Cha that you practiced at home for a while. It seems that you have not practiced that point.
“You only drank a few mouthfuls and you fell to the ground. You can handle your drinks, can’t you?
“I thought I’ve met a worthy opponent today. I didn’t expect that it was going to be a lonely fight.
“Forget it, forget it. I’ll drink slowly on my own. After all, there’s no one like me Lolan City that can drink as much as me.”
Hearing this, Zorn immediately refused to back down as well.
His neck stiffened, and then he said stubbornly, “Drink, why can’t I drink? Stop talking nonsense, fill it up right now, both of us shall drink till either of us kiss the ground!”
