I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 833 Crimson Tavern Again

Chapter 833  Crimson Tavern Again

'I am not sure if I should be glad about this or not.' thought Angus inwardly.

While Mirak is having an unfortunate moment, the gigantic magma reaches Alkin and the others. Despite already using a booster to accelerate the Alkin's speed, it still couldn't outrun the hurling magma giant.

"Jayna!!" called Angus from the side.

Regaining calm from Angus's previous incident, Jayna focuses back on the magma giant in front of them.

"Hmph!!" snorted Jayna lightly.

*BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* *BOOOOM* Suddenly, the magma giant exploded from the inside. Its fiery molten body crumbles and rains down the whole area. At the same time, the fiery magma also rapidly extinguished as if it were just an ordinary rock avalanche.

At that moment, Angus jumped high before spreading his hand towards the incoming disaster. Angus abruptly pulled the air like a solid matter within his hand [Body Art - Air Vicegrip].

Magically, the falling rocks and ground seem restrained by something before moving back, avoiding the moving Alkin.

"Wooaaa…. It burst!! It burst!!" exclaimed Anna happily from the side.

Ignoring the energetic little troublemaker, Angus and the others start the rescue operation. Such an enormous movement will affect everyone, especially the Flash Squad, which should be the closest to the Primordial Giant location.

Although most of the Flash Squad escape safely because of their famous speed, some are still trapped under the rubble. Fortunately, Jayna also extinguished all the fire elementals inside.

With the inherent strong body and mana protection, any high-grade elite knight will not easily die just from being buried alive. The absence of the magma heat also gives them more hope. As long as they are rescued before being out of breath, they could still be saved.

In the meantime, King Leon, Duchess Amberblaze, and Duke Jacob scrutinize the area with bitter aftertaste. After using such a big movement, One-eyed Enos escaped the area through the ground.

Even after King Leon blows hundreds of meters deep, they can still not find the mad dwarf's trace. This makes them hate this one-eyed dwarf to the bone.

Not only does he manage to escape, but the dwarf also destroys the surrounding landscape, which will affect the surrounding topography and deal massive damage to the surrounding cities. With such a huge ground movement, they know the surrounding city will also be affected.

Just imagining enormous casualties and damage from this disaster already gives King Leon and the others a headache.

'Maybe… We really should awaken everyone's mana core.' thought King Leon deeply while looking at the destroyed landscape.

The king knows if all the humans awaken their mana core, their bodies will be stronger and not vulnerable to this kind of disaster. However, it will also lead to further problems. Any dissatisfaction in the future may end up in riots that also lead to civil war.

In the meantime, everyone went to rescue operations for the trapped ones with the help of young Baron Victory. Angus also didn't forget to employ the help of the two drunken female dwarves.

Despite their obsession with magic cannons and liquor, Angus also knows the two master dwarves are experts at the earth element. He even believes the two female dwarves are more adept at the earth element than his stubborn old dwarf teacher.

With the help of Kusibella and Bornja, they manage to extract the trapped one in a short time. After controlling the situation, Angus and the others move back towards Frostfall City.

Since they had already deemed this incident to be enough deterrence to other bounty hunters, they decided to let Angus use a teleportation device network. With Angus's current strength and special identity, King Leon directly issued orders to give teleportation special permits to Angus.

It is known that the teleportation networks couldn't be used casually inside the Heart Kingdom. The only ones who could use them were the Duke, Duchess, and King Leon. One primary reason for this is to reduce the chance of infiltration from others.

However, the real reason is to hide the Duke/Duchess and King Leon's location. Most of the Duke and Duchess occupied an essential position inside the Heart Kingdom. If their whereabouts are known to others easily, others may be able to ambush them.

With Angus' current strength and importance, King Leon didn't mind giving this privilege to him. In fact, King Leon already wanted to grant this special permission to him a long time ago. However, Angus always gets involved in trouble and decides to postpone this matter for a while.

Besides, even without the special permit, King Leon couldn't say no to his prodigious daughter if she asked permission to use the teleportation network.

Angus also has Duke Jacob, who could easily grant him the same permission. Therefore, this special permit is just for convenience.

*BBZZTTT* Coming out from the teleportation platform, Angus and the others find themselves inside the Royal Palace teleportation room.

"WUUUU…. Everything is spinning… Spinning…." said Anna while rotating around.

Ignoring the playful Anna, Angus separates from Jayna and the other two private maids. As for the two female dwarves, they prefer to stay with the mobile fortress Alkin.

After experiencing the power of Alkin during this incident, they got a lot of inspiration and ideas to improve its firepower.

Separating from Jayna and the others, Angus enters a shadow state and covers himself with the help of Draven. After walking around the capital city without being noticed, Angus stopped at the familiar tavern between the slum and the common residence area.

After looking coldly at the desolate tavern named Crimson Tavern for a moment, Angus finally decides to enter this mysterious tavern.

'I never expect I will go back here again.' thought Angus

However, the recent bounty hunter incident determined him to get to the bottom of this matter. With such a large amount of bounty, Angus feels he needs to finish this matter before it disrupts his peaceful life further.

Moreover, he notices his Aunt Hersha is not giving him or his father any information about this matter. As someone who belongs to the world's number one information guild, she should know about Angus' huge bounty.

Yet, she chose to remain silent as if she didn't know about this matter at all. Combined with her reminder long ago, Angus knows his Aunt must get a silent order from above. Otherwise, she will already warn him long before he takes this trip.

Since Angus didn't want to put his Aunt in a difficult position, he took this matter alone. Moreover, Angus knows the Widespread group wants to rope him in from his previous talk with Aunt Hersha.

This makes him wary of this number-one information organization. On the contrary, he feels the mysterious organization he contacted long ago is more reliable and credible. Despite being a murderous organization, they have very strict orders and rules.

Angus feels this kind of organization is similar to the underground killing organization in his previous life. It is not like other organizations but a platform where the assassin and bounty hunter gather.

This kind of organization didn't have a true leader but stringent rules. Once someone broke the rules, they would be killed or eliminated.

'According to Aunt Hersha, the Bloody Star Assassin organization also has this kind of rule like in my past life organization. The only difference is the qualification to become their client and 'employee'.'

'It seems they have stringent requirements. I wonder why they could grant me such an easy pass before.' thought Angus inwardly while entering the tavern.

Seeing a hideous Angus entering the tavern, the waitress welcomes him calmly without surprise about his hideous attire.

"Welcome to the Crimson Tavern, Please take a seat." said the waitress.

Angus didn't say anything and sat at the empty bar counter.

"What can I help you with today?" asked the Bartender calmly.

'The more I hear it, the more I feel the similarities. No wonder I feel a sense of repulsion about this place from the start,' thought Angus inwardly.

"Information." replied Angus in an unrecognizable voice.

"Then, may I know what kind of information you need?" asked the Bartender calmly.

"Bounty about Baron Victory." replied Angus.

Hearing Angus reply, the calm and smiling Bartender's aura suddenly changed for a moment. A subtle trace of cold aura could be felt from the Bartender. It is not a killing intent or any malicious aura towards Angus but an aura that warns Angus to not mess with him.

"I believe it will be very costly since we are not an informant guild." the Bartender replied after a moment of silence.

"How much?" asked Angus.

"Ten million gold for general information." replied the Bartender.

Learning from the previous lesson during the transaction, Angus agreed without hesitation to the unreasonable price.

"Agreed." said Angus while giving a special rune card.

It is a special rune card issued by the Heart Kingdom bank. With the increased value of the Heart Kingdom's gold, the officials create unique rune cards for large transaction convenience.

This card is similar to the bond in Angus's previous life and could be exchanged for real gold money in the Heart Kingdom bank.

"This is the information." said the Bartender.

After taking the Rune bank card, the Bartender gives Angus a few pieces of lousy paper from behind the bar. From its appearance, Angus knows such lousy paper has already been passed around through many people.
