“Didn’t you hear me? I asked you where do you plan to take my daughter?” asked the voice again.It compelled Aamon to look at the source of the voice coming from behind. Although Elsie was heavy for him, he tried to turn the two of them to face her father.Aamon faced Elsie’s father. A man seemingly-looking like he’s about in his late fifties already. He has that muscular build and strong intimidating appearance simply after looking through his grey eyes.“Don’t make me repeat myself again. Where are you taking my daughter? If you won’t answer me, I will force it out from you.” said Elsie’s father.Aamon flinched and he immediately realized that he had been staring at Elsie’s father for so long. “I–I’m sorry, sir. I don’t plan to do anything harm against your daughter. I just can’t leave him alone in this state.”Elsie’s father drew in closer and it became visible for Aamon to see him better. He had that scar across his forehead, seemingly looking like a slash which made Aamon wonder
It left Aamon speechless for about a while. He couldn’t even bring up what he initially came here for. Facing Vicente this close somehow intimidated Aamon.He wanted to talk to him about his purpose, but for some reason, it felt as though his tongue won’t just move to speak up.“So, are you just going to stay quiet and stare at me forever?” Vicente eventually broke the silence that also caused Aamon to flinch.He came to senses and realized how much time he had actually wasted overthinking. “No, I–I, uh, well I—” he begin to stammer. At the back of his head, Aamon despised the fact that he was actually having the trouble to talk straight in front of Vicente.At the very least, he shouldn’t even show any sign of weakness in front of him. Aside from that, Aamon must fix the way he behave now. Even he wouldn’t want to encounter someone who kept stammering while at the middle of their conversation.He eventually cleared his thoughts and tried to absorb the fact that he was able to defeat
Aamon was caught between crossroads. He was reluctant to take the offer knowing that he would barely purchase anything with the ten gold coins, however, knowing the value that Vicente had told Aamon, it would appear that the price of the Falcona indeed depreciated upon its death.If there was something that Aamon realized as a lesson he would gained from here, it was the fact that trading should really be about profit and not just the value.“Alright, I really need the gold coins right now so I’ll take it.” Aamon eventually agreed.He had no choice, he couldn’t keep the Falcona with him and find another trader. For what he observed, it would seem that Vicente’s tavern was the only place that practice trading in town. Most of the brothels and other taverns here don’t indulge in such activities and the reason was unknown to Aamon.Vicente threw in a pouch of coins and Aamon immediately took it. He immediately secured the coins by quickly counting them and afterwards snuck it inside his
Aamon looked around and found out that it was just none other than Elsie. “Now you’re just looking at me with that smug face of yours, huh?” she continued to rattle Aamon with her complaints.vfgMeanwhile, Aamon was just startled at how annoying Elsie could be. He wasn’t really planning to make them know of his exit. However, for Elsie was still able to see him leave.Aamon just sighed. “Your father told me to leave right away last night. I though saying thanks to him last night would be enough, I didn’t know i still have to thank the second in command, especially attempting to humiliate me infront of their guest last night.” Aamon couldn’t help but to bring it up.Elsie was beginning to annoy Aamon and it was the only thing that he could think of to counter her.However, what Aamon failed to realize was that it would only aggravate the situation as Elsie seemed to be the kind that doesn’t want to accept their mistakes.“Oh yeah? As if i’d really believe that lie.” Elsie replied. Sh
Aamon’s flinched out of surprise. He didn’t expect that to be the plot twist. It somehow affected him knocking that he bore the same name as the man’s friend, not to mention how they both aimed the same path of winning during the annual assembly.“Geez, I’m so sorry for what happened to your friend.” Aamon felt suddenly sorry for the man’s friend that he couldn’t keep but feel like apologizing for the situation.“It’s fine, no need to worry about it. He made sure that he had left a good legacy with his name.” the man eventually replied looking at Aamon with such sense of pride.Seeing how the man behaved, Aamon couldn’t help but feel a sense of awkwardness. Although he knew that the man posed no threat, he just suddenly realized that he had been behaving too close with the man who was a complete stranger.“Uh, well, it was nice to have some short talk with you but I have to get going.” Aamon eventually said so that he could finally end the talk with the poor man.However, just before
It roared in front of them, seeming wanting to convey how it wanted to devour them after. Both of them are in a complete danger seeing as to how they don’t have any chance against the ferocious beast.Suddenly, Aamon opened his watch and asked for the identification of the beast.[CLASSIFICATION: JACQUAS][ LEGEND: WILD BEAST][ VALUE: 1000 GOLD COINS]Seeing the value of the wild beast, Aamon’s mind had blown away of the possible profit he would gain from this if he could catch this alive. However, understanding that this would be much harder to catch compared to the Falcona, Aamon was adamant that he would be able to capture this beast alive.“Hey, Aamon, do you have any plans with this beast? You’re a hunter, I can sense that even if you don’t answer me. So, what’s your plan?” Joven eventually asked. His voice was quivering out of fear as he ask for Aamon’s suggestion on the matter.Aamon on the other hand minimized that holographic screen and eventually look at Joven. “Do you have
Aamon’s recent attack not only shocked him and Joven, but it also surprisingly rendered the Jacquas unable to move. The lightning ball turned into a lightning rope that strangled the beast on the ground.No matter how much it tried to struggle and free itself, it was no use. The lightning surrounding it was not letting it escape.“That was one hell amazing!” Joven couldn’t help but exclaimed as he witness everything took place right in front of his eyes.He found Aamon to be such a powerful one with his lightning powers. “You’re so amazing back there!” Joven continued to press on Aamon as he slaps his back. The way that Joven acted so close only made Aamon feel awkward. With that, Aamon instantly pushed Joven aside and said, “You’re too loud, it’s annoying.” before Aamon decide to go and check the beast. As Aamon tried come closer to the beast, he suddenly became startled when it maed an attempt to move and growled. “It’s no use, that beast won’t be able to get off that lightning ar
Aamon and Joven sneakingly followed the trail from where those hunters went through. It was risky since the longer that Aamon and Joven followed them, all the more that they find the path becoming even more deserted. And while the two of them were walking down the deserted outskirts of Melagu, Joven abruptly felt the weight of his body as they both haven’t even rested ever since they started following those hunters.“Are you even sure about retrieving the Jacquas from them? I mean, it’s not that I wanted you to forget about the Jacquas but don’t you think it would be better if we just try to hunt for something else. For sure there would be more beast out there left for you to hunt down.” Joven eventually uttered as he drew himself closer to Aamon’s side.Hearing that, Aamon quickly nudged Joven away from him. “I told you to go back to Jakal if you’ll just end up slowing me down, didn’t I?” Aamon eventually replied. He was annoyed at the fact that he was already getting frustrated fr
