What is the best strategy to make something unnoticeable?Some may say the best way is to make it as small as possible so that nobody can find it.It is not a wrong answer either; however, is it the only answer?No, it certainly is not.Another way to make something unnoticeable is to place it near something so eye-catching that nobody looks at the thing you want to hide.And this is the thing I am doing right now.Since Owen guy decided to betray the people of his gang and flee with their money, they must be pretty pissed right now.What is the thing that makes gangs like these operate swiftly in the first place?It is their reputation.For the gangs like these, their reputation is the thing that makes ordinary people or other gangs feel intimidated.And can they operate without fear?No, they can’t run this system without fear.But what would happen if it was heard that someone from the gang betrayed them and fled with their money in front of their faces?Their reputation would be d
The moment I saw that only three of them would be active in the fight, I immediately started to fire arrows at them from a long distance with the assistance of [Moon Watcher].The fear of the unknown is one of the essential things a hunter can use.If a person stays vigilant for a very long time, their muscles, body posture everything about them will be stiff if they don’t know how to deal with a situation like that.And believe me when I say most people won’t know anything about it.Since I kept shooting them from a long distance, it was very hard for them to locate my position.After a while, I decided to close the distance while shooting arrows.Well, even though this will give them a better chance of finding my position, it won’t matter in the end because the G+ rank guy will be able to react to my attack, no matter how sneaky I am.But if I kept firing their arrows, they would either try to parry or dodge them, which would make them a bit tired from constant vigilance.Since I am
After I returned to my room, I immediately went to sleep since I was very both mentally and physically tired from all the fighting I had done.However, before I went to sleep, Bastet asked me with a curious and slightly angry tone.‘I killed all of them because it was profitable for me. There is no other reason for that. You said you don’t understand why humans kill each other, right? It is not just about humans. In this world, there is no sentient being who is not selfish. Be it humans, elves, demons, angels, or dwarfs. It doesn’t matter what race they are. The important thing is their free will or mind to choose their actions. Every being that can choose its own action will be greedy, prideful, slothful, angry, lustful, envious, and gluttonous. It is from the nature of free will itself.Elves can be graceful outside, but they have a huge pri
After waiting thirty minutes, every convoy member gathered in front of the Merchant Association branch.The merchant, who has a pretty good physique and kind of handsome face with brown hair, and green eyes, started to inform us about our route.Even though he is at least 45 years old, he doesn’t even look like he is 30. The power of money doesn’t change no matter where you go, I guess.While I was thinking, he started talking about our formation.“Hello, everyone. I am Euan Barker, the boss of this convoy. As you all informed beforehand, this convoy is going to the capital of the Republic of Cynthia, The Millennium City.Since we will be transporting our cargo, we hired a C-Rank Adventurer Party.We will transport with three trucks.The first one will contain me, my daughter, and two members of the Stormriders.The second one, the biggest of them, will contain the cargo and some of our personnel.And the last one will contain two passengers and the rest of the party members of Stormr
After I found myself a teacher in archery, the rest of the first day of traveling went without a hitch.Sometimes, I caught Katie looking at me, but I didn’t care much about it.We traveled until the sun was down, and when it was evening, we set up a camp and started a campfire.In the first place, while I was applying for this convoy, they said everyone should bring their tents since we would be camping on the road.So, I bought a new one with thermal insulation and a shower. Since there are tents with spatial magic applied to them, it wasn’t that hard to find one with good qualities.After setting up a campfire, everyone started gathering around the campfire to receive their portion of the meal.I must say, this merchant is not a stingy guy at all.Generally speaking, when you say merchant, there is an impression that they will be stingy people, which is not that wrong either.However, this is not the case for this merchant, not even the slightest.The meal was well prepared, with g
I woke up the next day at 4.45. After washing my face and putting on relaxed clothes, and taking the normal bow I got from Gorsaeth, I exited my tent and went to the place where we had decided to meet yesterday with miss Shauna. When I arrived there, I saw I miss Shauna had already come and was watching the forest while listening to the sounds of birds chirping. “It looks beautiful, isn’t it? They have their life in their hands and can go anywhere they want. They can fly in the skies and move from one land to another. I wish I were a bird with his wings intact too.” She said with a slightly melancholic voice. And after that, turn his face to me and smiled. “Good morning; it seems like you are really serious about learning about the bow. I hope you don’t lose this enthusiasm at the end of the training.” She said with a smirk. “Good morning, miss Shauna, and don’t worry, I won’t lose my enthusiasm. You can be sure about it.” I replied with a smirk as well. “I don’t think it is a
-------------------------------------------- R-18 Warning -------------------------------------------------- This chapter will contain R-18 scenes. If you don’t want to read it, you can skip it since it won’t affect the story too much; however, if you are not against it, I suggest you read it to understand some details better. ------------------------------------------------------0---------------------------------------------------------- Is there anything in this world you can get for free? I don’t believe there exists something like that. In this world, everything you get has a price. If someone helps you for free, he or she most likely has a profit from helping you. In my case, why did Shauna teach me how to use a bow? It was because she was eyeing me from the start. While we were traveling in the truck, I observed all the things she did, both consciously and unconsciously. In the first place, either she is the wife of Adrian just on paper, or there is a deep rift in their
After that hot and steamy shower session with Shauna, I put on a turtleneck sweater and left my tent. ‘It seems like tonight will be a long night. But I don’t understand what is wrong with their relationship. I didn’t ask at that time not to screw up the mood, but I am curious.’ I thought like that and started picking up the tent since we would be leaving after we finished our breakfast. I don’t want to repeat it, but this merchant is really generous to our convoy. I have never seen this kind of variety in my life, neither as a Joshua nor as a Darius. There were three different types of bacon, four different types of cheese, and the list goes on. With that open buffet breakfast, the atmosphere was vivacious, and everyone started eating while talking. It was just like yesterday, aside from the fact that Hannah was sitting near me. She came to my side, sat beside me, and initiated a conversation. “Good morning; how was your sleep? Were you comfortable in the truck yesterday?” Sh
