Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 40: Traveling further distance

Waltner is a man of instincts and actions. He acts jovial and nice. Only when it is necessary and he clearly knows when he needs to be like that and when he needs to be serious. He turns serious and cautious when there is an important matter to deal with and he is a man of commitment and these characteristics were the ones that made him a big shot who owns a city and made him a person who controls several Outlaws.

so, why did such a person help Nix in the desert and the siege in Ranrak?

The room was well spacious with several books kept on the shelf behind the seat of the clan commander and there was a normal wooden table placed before his seat.

Waltner sat on the table and stared at Nix with a serious gaze without showing a hint of his regular friendly tendency towards Nix with his hands folded.

Waltner opened his mouth first.

"So, state your business. What do you seek? Why are you here?"

'Well, I don't want to drag a long-ass conversation. let's cut to the chase.'

"I am here for two reasons. I know that Outlaws maintain certain procedures too."

He waited for Bald Guy Waltner's response as he nodded his he continued.

"The First one is I am here to report that I didn't kill the members of Burning blood. I simply took their mission for delivering goods which turned into a Failure. We were ambushed by a few Regulars on our way to Saragame City."

Waltner closed his eyes and scrubbed his beard as he was in thought. He nodded his head showing that he was listening.

"And all the regulars died and I fortunately escaped. Now coming to the second one"

He waited for Waltner to respond.

"You may continue."

Waltner replied while scrubbing his beard.

Nix opened his mouth with an emotionless face. He didn't show a hint of fear nor did he show a hint of guilt. Outlaws are fundamentally bad people, so he didn't care nevertheless.

"The slave building which got burned is because of and yes I destroyed their merchandise and their employees."

Waltner opened his eyes, he was rather calm and there wasn't any sign of anger from him.

He began contemplating.

"Brat, You made a terrible mess and I appreciate your courage for showing up and reporting all this to me even though you knew that we would try to track and hunt you down. I can take care of this problem just leave a detailed report about what happened and I will take care of the rest.."

"Thank you for understanding."

"Tch, Now! Now! Don't get relaxed as I said you can be relaxed with the incident of goods delivering but, there is a problem with the clan which possessed the slaughterhouse business."

He stopped for a second to observe Nix's facial reaction which didn't show any emotion.

"They seek Vengeance. They commissioned a big price on your head. Since I own this city fortunately they sought me. Even though they don't know who you are. They will most probably track you down within a week or maybe they could find you even before that."

Nix furrowed his brows.

"so, what should I do next?"

"haha, Newbie you got guts! Do you know where you have put your nose at? It is a clan that boasts a high power level and they have many members under them. The name of the clan you made a problem with is 'ZERAST'. They have several bases all over the southern continent and the one you attacked is just a mere subdivision and you are asking me what you should do? you brat!"

And added

"Would it hurt your pride If you just came to me seeking a job? I would have given you one. alright, What's done is done. You have a few things to do. First, Have you sought to a corrupt god's temple yet?"

"No"

"First level up as fast as you can and it needs to be your priority. Second I can't help you out so, You have to leave the city. If you leave the city you won't get tracked nor be hostile to them. Get out of this city for some time and find out what type of job suits you and take it, don't think it's shady and feel bad about it. I do smuggling and from my point of view, it's not bad. All I do is sell illegally and smuggle. Brat I have been for a longer time than you could ever think of, so take my advice if you want to live do anything or whatever you can."

'Damn Now that I think about it, I haven't checked his information.'

[Truth eye activated.]

[Target information cannot be gained due to the low rank]

'Fuck, I should raise its rank more. A useless ability! I wasn't able to check Felishia's and that knight woman's information too'

"Son, are you listening?'

"Yes!"

"So, what are you going to do now?"

'Why is this man helping me? He has been helping since the start and I can't understand why.'

Even though he had a doubt he didn't come up to ask it.

"I will be leaving the City today."

Waltner gave a smile and patted his shoulder. He turned and stepped towards his bookshelf and picked up a book and gave it to Nix

"Alright take this"

'well, I guess I will take it since he himself is willing to help me why not make use of it?'

Thinking inwardly Nix enquired Waltner.

"What is this book about?"

The book cover had a Title that contained weird symbols and in the center, A sentence was visible in bold characters.' WAYS OF EMPYREAN AND ARTS'.

"Just a random book."

'I need to pay off the debts. I owe Waltner, Malini, Bageran, and Reegan. The list is sure getting big'

Nix received the book and said goodbye to Waltner and gave a detailed Report about the Ambush in the desert.

After leaving the building he added the book into his inventory.

'So, One of the to-do lists is over. Now I need to contact Reegan and gain some information before leaving the city.

He took a carriage and arrived at the portal gate. The portal gate was in a circular shape. It was large and wide and it was divided into two. One way was to walk in while the other was to walk out. The portal gate was on top of a massive metallic altar while there were two people before the entrance collecting money.

Nix stood before the portal gate in a daze and awe while gawking at it excitedly. Nix joined the queue to travel.

'Where should I go? Well, let's just ask the guy who collects money.'

After a few people, Nix stood before the portal. The cash collector opened his mouth.

"Where are you going?"

"To a City that's far away from here. "

The cashier frowned at Nix like he was annoyed

"Tch, Okay then I am teleporting you to Perunagaram. It is one month away by carriage from here."

"okay"

"It will be twenty-five gold coins."

'Fuck These guys are just swallowing my money!'

Nix clicked his tongue and gave out the coins and walked towards the portal gate.

"Tsk, here"

The operator pressed a button on the side of the altar and pulled a lever and the Portal didn't show any changes. He stepped inside the circle and he got enveloped by a white layer in a second

'I am feeling like I am floating and this is totally relaxing.'

Within a mere second, he found himself in a different location. It was a fully closed and caged massive structural building that seemed to be built with some special stone but, It resembled Granites and marbles. The Portal gate was in the center of the large hall with two parting ways.

'Where am I? I am not in jail right?'

The portal operator navigated the outlaws to the exit of the building.

He walked while muttering.

Nix slowly stepped out of the exit and the city entered his view. The city seemed more or less the same as how all the other cities he went to were like. The difference was people didn't look shady like people in Barani were and the city was colorful and bright and residents seemed happy and prosperous.

He began walking through the street and entered a cheap local restaurant.
