BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62 Teaching A Real Lesson
<Quest, [Teach dogs a lesson] generated.>
While wandering around the market, I felt three people following me, and the system sound proved it as well.
\'It was around the time something like this happened.\'
I thought.
In the first place, a young child brings a lot of haul with him, selling them and making money is a type of prey thieves or local bullies would like to exert money.
Since I have never interacted with anyone aside from Jane in the guild, and I am basically a loner, that makes me pretty loaded and easy prey for them.
At least, that is what those people would think, which is pretty much something I was expecting.
However, me being alone doesn\'t mean they will attack me in the middle of everybody.
They will track me for now.
\'So, let\'s play a little tag game.\'
With that in my mind, I kept entering a bunch of stores, buying the things I would need for tomorrow.
And it took quite a while to buy everything I would need since not all those shops were sticking together, you know.
At some point, it was getting pretty late, so the citizens were slowly emptying the shopping district as well.
\'Now, you will make your move.\'
"Hey, Kid, stop for a second."
A familiar sound of a man coming from my behind.
However, I ignored him, not paying any attention.
"Hey, I am calling you bastard. Can\'t you hear me?"
But following, he dashed to me, putting his hands over my shoulder again.
Stopping my steps, I turned my face towards the familiar man.
\'Sam Perez, that three-star knight at the age of 18. Fire attribute user.\'
\'It seems they had already isolated the place. Nobody is around. What a conventional dog you are.\'
Remembering the things I saw this morning, I turned and opened my mouth;
"Take your hands off."
With a commanding tone, I said, activating my [Tyrant\'s Aura].
"You cocky motherfucker!"
Albeit, he wasn\'t that affected by it, showing that by throwing an uppercut.
/SWOOSH/
\'He is fast.\'
Showcasing the speed of a three-star knight, his punch was fast.
\'But, it is nothing I can\'t react to.\'
/THUD/
Putting my elbow in the way of his attack, I blocked it hurting his hand.
/SWOOSH/
But another straight punch came to my face following the uppercut.
/SWOOSH/
This time tilting my head slightly, I dodged the attack.
/THUD/
And immediately rotating my body, I threw an elbow strike to his lungs, choking his breath for a second.
"Hukk-"
/THUD/
Blocked the desperate jab he sent from the right with my hands.
/SWIISH/
With my attention lowered to his heel, I put my right foot on its behind.
/THUD/
And with a swing movement, pushing his shoulder while pulling my feet back, I knocked him to the ground.
/SCHLINK/
Taking my Nihil out from its scabbard, I pointed the tip into his neck, showcasing that the fight was already over.
"BASTARD REL-"
Albeit seeing my sword being released, one of the men behind him started shouting while taking his sword out as well.
"Don\'t come closer, or he dies."
However, of course, I was at an advantage with my sword pointed out at Sam\'s neck.
"WHAT DO-"
"STOP!"
Raising his hand, Sam said with a stern tone.
"BUT-"
"I SAID I LOST. JUST STAND THERE, JIM! You won\'t be able to do anything to him."
"Ah, okay."
\'Good choice. It seems you are not that stupid either, though I wish you had used this head of yours beforehand.\'
"What do you want? If you want to kill me, do it fast."
Turning his head towards me, he said with life left his eyes.
"I have no intention of bullying the weak. Next time if you want to treat your sibling, do a legal job. Stealing won\'t do you any good."
Looking deep into his eyes, I said with a stern tone.
"How did you know?"
"From the moment I saw the mark on your neck, you tried so hard to hide. And the fight just confirmed that."
"You can\'t use your strength well, your balance is not good, and your body can\'t correspond to your commands."
"Drifting Abyss. It is a disease that a patient slowly loses his life force and generally dies at the age of 20 if not treated early, and you are at the later stages of it."
"However, seeing you are still trying so hard to make money means you need it for something, and it can\'t be for you since your fate is already sealed. That leaves us only with the option of a relative having the same disease. It can\'t be your mother or father since they should already be dead, which means it is a young person. And seeing it was your sibling from there is not that hard. Am I right?"
"Ah…. You are right."
/SCHLINK/
Putting my sword into its scabbard, I turned my back to him.
/THUD/
"If you want to make a lot of money, 21st day of next month, a dungeon will be opened in the mountains north of this city. You will see a cave after following the river flowing through the mountains. Check there and be prepared. There will be a lot of valuable materials that could be found. Make your money with your own hands. That way, the life you saved will be more valuable as well."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"What do I gain from lying to you? I can just kill you right here right now, and nobody would care."
Saying that, I left behind a bunch of surprised dogs.
"IF WHAT YOU ARE TELLING ME IS TRUE, I SWEAR I WILL PAY YOU BACK!"
Hearing the loud voice coming from my back, a smile bloomed on my face.
<Quest [Teach Dogs a Lesson] is completed.>
Once, I heard a saying from a famous boxer on earth.
"Everybody that you fight is not your enemy, and everybody that helps you is not your friend."
Mumbling the saying, I started walking to my room.
\'Let\'s see how you will pay me back. I am waiting….\'
In the first place, beating a dog is not the only way to teach them a lesson.
You can feed a dog to teach it a lesson as well.
On the other hand, the more you beat the weak, the more you will lose yourself in the pleasure of having the strength.
It is not being better than your enemy. It is called being evil.
Beating a sick person who is trying his best to save his only sibling before he leaves this world is not a thing I will do, no matter how disrespectful he is. I don\'t have any gain from that; that would be just a pointless action.
Maybe who knows, I might have gained a very loyal follower.
And as for the case of that dungeon, in the game, it was later discovered by the Dukedom of Augustride and used by them to have more money as well as Emma to have practical experience with Arthur, later being their \'love nest.\'
However, if it was discovered by those guys and they were prepared to collect those materials, that would damage the future Augustride Family.
An act of Petty revenge.
There is also the fact that I will be already left this city when it appears, so it won\'t be a loss for me either.
With that, I returned to my room not long after I left.
Lying on my bed, I decided to check the contents of my quest.
----------------------
Quest – Teach Dogs a Lesson (Completed)
You need to teach those insolent fools who dared to stand in your way.
Conditions – Make them realize that you are way above their level.
Rewards – Speed +0.1
----------------------------
After checking the rewards of the quest, I started reading a book I borrowed from the guild and drifted to sleep not long after.
***
Waking up at dawn the next day, I started checking if everything was ready or not.
\'Hmm, a bunch of dried meat, a lot of water supply, cloak, and boots protecting me from heavy rain, a tent with magical functions improved.\'
After checking everything, I left the room.
Since it was still very early in the morning, there weren\'t many people on the roads, and life had yet to start.
Making my way to a bakery, I grabbed breakfast.
Summoning my Night, I hopped on top of it and started riding to the west side of Chusport City.
The place I am heading now will be the first treasure dungeon I will be raiding in this world, using my knowledge in the game to my advantage.
It is a dungeon that has yet to be discovered because of its location.
It is located in the middle of the rainforests that is twenty hours horse ride away from Chusport City.
And that is also the reason why I bought a waterproof cloak and boots with me. Since basically, it will always be raining in this forest.
And since it would always be raining, igniting a fire would be a lot harder as well, coupled with the existence of monsters living there, so bringing a bunch of dried meat and conserved food was a must as well.
With those thoughts in my mind, I started riding to my first treasure plundering….
