Chapter 266: Adventurer Zero.

Chapter 266: Adventurer Zero.

He didn't waste any more time as he stabbed the helpless gang boss, before retrieving his void daggers and regrouping with the others.

"What was that quake?" Brian asked when Blake arrived at the hideout entrance.

"Nothing much, I just blew up the core to save me the strength and energy to fight the gang boss." Blake said. Before he had made the decision, he had used the system to scan the walls of the hideout in order to prevent it from collapsing on them.

"Any problem at your end?" Blake asked as he looked over to Brian.

"Na…" Castiel said with a smile.

After being given the confirmation that they were done, Blake contacted Arnold. "It is done."

"Great, meet me at the adventurer association to receive your pay." Arnold said before cutting the communication link.

Once the call was over, the trio exited the sewers and boarded a carriage that took them to the adventurer's association.

…

On the other side of the call.

"That was quicker than what I and Master had speculated. Seems we are underestimating their capabilities." Arnold thought with a smile on his face as he called the ash corps' communication line.

"The work is done. Men are already at the scene to preserve the integrity of the site." Arnold reported.

"We are on our way." The communication link was cut off.

…

Close to 30 minutes later, Blake and his crew arrived at the association building where they met up with Susan who took them to a private room where Arnold had been waiting all this while.

"Congratulations on the success of the commission, and I hope that our future partnership will continue to be fruitful." Arnold said with a smile as he handed over a dimensional amulet containing 50k gold coins, before leaving the room.

"The order of chaos adventurer party had been awarded 5k contribution points for the party, and it will be divided equally before being added to your personal contribution points. Also, the ash corps? are done inspecting the hideout, so they just sent over 16100 gold coins for the bounty placed on the heads of the Black scorpion gang members." Susan reported.

"Bounty?" The 3 asked with a puzzled look on their faces…

"The ash corps placed a bounty on the Black scorpion gang, meaning every member has a default value that keeps on increasing as they commit more offenses." Susan explained.

The Black scorpion gang wasn't considered to be close to a threat and so far hadn't done any major crimes that got the ash corps' attention. That is why every member had a default bounty of 200 gold coins, while Taft the 3rd in command had a bounty of 700, Fin 800, and the boss 1200.

To normal commoners the amount was high, but to adventurers like Blake, it wasn't even enough to be considered change when comparing it to the cost of magical items. This was one of the main reasons why the Black scorpion gang hadn't been wiped out. They weren't worth the stress.

"Do you have any other questions or requests?" Susan asked and once there were none, she left the room to make an update to the billboard.

"Now we can only wait and see how the most important phase of my plan goes." Blake said.

…

From the view of the entrance, the reception desk was straight ahead and the path to the right led to the hotel part of the building, while the left path led to the adventurer part which housed private rooms for negotiation and planning, the billboard room, adventurer shops and so on.

The billboard room couldn't be considered to be a room because of its size and lack of doors. Its entrance could fit more than 10 men at the same time and it was half the size of a football field, containing multiple holographic projection boards that displayed missions.

The holographic boards were divided into sections depending on the type of mission, and above them were multiple screens that only displayed vital information or updates.

Susan who just returned to her desk made a call to the control unit to update it. The control unit was the core and it was an AI but was nothing compared to Fury. It controlled everything in the building and could only be controlled by the guild master.

After the call was made to the control unit, all info related Black Scorpion gang was erased from the billboards and a message appeared on the screens.

[The newly promoted C rank adventurer part, Order of Chaos adventurer party, which comprises Zero, Hades, and Grock has wiped out all members of the scorpion gang after they had raided their hideout.]

The announcement didn't cause any uproar but it caused a lot of murmuring in the billboard room. This was so because there were a lot of opinions on the commission and even the adventurer party.

A few shook their heads because some people handled the stress of finding their hideout and wiping them out only for 16k gold coins from the bounty.

(AN: Remember it still had to be shared with all the members of the party.)

No one had placed a commission to wipe out the gang, so the only rewards they would receive was that of the bounty, but they had no idea that they had struck a deal with the Winchester family.

Most of the people in the room were highly impressed that a team of newly promoted C rank team were able to wipe out 70 gang members even though they had the home ground advantage.

The more they thought about it, the more they realized the task was more difficult than it sounded, but that was when they remembered a familiar name, and that was Zero.

When it came to new adventurers, Zero had the most accomplishments. He killed a Knox when he was at the E rank, survived the battle between demigods in the slums. He killed all the assassins that came to kill him which made the association create communication amulets for adventurer parties of all levels. Also, it was his party that had discovered a very old research facility.
