Although irritated by Raphael's treatment of him, the middle-aged man only harboured his annoyance in his heart, he immediately turned around to count the money he got, intending to let Raphael inspect his belongings.However, just as the middle-aged man turned around, a moment later he felt his neck being hit so hard from behind, he was unable to react due to the pain that immediately assaulted him.Raphael, who hit the middle-aged man on the nape, saw how the man's body slowly fell onto the wooden floor. Immediately Raphael turned to Ettienne to help him with something."Your job this time is to carry this bastard's body upstairs, then wait for me there." Without receiving any rejection, Raphael ordered Ettienne who could only stay silent when he saw what Raphael was doing.Just as Ettienne was about to raise his voice to reply to Raphael, he saw him turn around and had no intention of speaking to him again.Wit
That night after Raphael and Ettienne left the middle-aged man in the middle of the forest, the next day before the festival started people started talking about finding the middle-aged man hanging from a tree.The middle-aged man's whereabouts could be immediately recognized because he had regained consciousness and screamed for help, until he was finally found by the townspeople who immediately called the guards to do something.Until tonight the day before the festival started, the townspeople were still talking about the incident that happened to that middle-aged man. All the townspeople already knew the middle-aged man as a black marketer, so they were curious as to who would dare to frame such a sly man.Apart from that, the guards also found about ten bodies in the middle of the forest, which, after investigation, were found to be the subordinates of the middle-aged man who was tied to a tree branch.With that the gossip grew bigger and Raphael who knew this was also very happ
One thing that Raphael realized tonight was that the System had a feature that really helped him, that is, he could be immune to negative states such as being drunk.Tonight because Raphael was drinking alcohol with Lauryn's group, he also thought he would get drunk, but unlike what he thought, he was still awake until now.Although instead Raphael kept hearing notifications from the System stating that the System had counteracted the negative status the Host had gotten.It's just that Raphael doesn't know whether this also works with poison, if so he doesn't need to worry if one day he is in a situation that requires him to deal with poison."System, you really helped me tonight! Thanks for the help!" Raphael whispered to his System, he was able to stay conscious and listen to the information slowly being spoken by Lauryn's group who were already heavily drunk.Raphael, without fear of getting drunk, continued to accept the beer that was offered to him, even he, who had bad intentio
Because he could no longer contain his surging emotions, Anthony immediately threw his fist at Raphael. Because it all happened so fast, even the shocked Floretta couldn't help but scream when she saw Anthony punch Raphael."Gosh! Anthony stop it already, you'll be in trouble if you injure someone else," said Floretta quickly running towards Anthony who was getting ready to throw another fist at Raphael.Meanwhile, Raphael, who had purposely let Anthony punch him, was grinning secretly because he had managed to start a mess here. Not to mention, Raphael also managed to provoke trouble with Anthony, now he only needs to solve this problem so tomorrow he can deal with Anthony."Do you still remember me, Miss?" Raphael's attention was not even on Anthony, although he was still trying to get up from his position, he only fixed his gaze on Floretta. Not forgetting his moves, Raphael smiled widely as he talked to Floretta.Floret
Today Raphael was very excited about what they were going to do, he and Ettienne had prepared from dawn, because they couldn't do anything wrong today, otherwise the risks they would bear would be very big, they might even die while carrying out the plan. This. “Raphael, you're sure if I follow your instructions you'll survive right? I won't die from that bomb right?” It seemed that Ettienne was quite worried about the plans they would carry out today, he couldn't sleep since last night because he kept thinking about what they would do today. This time it seemed like Raphael was the one who had a headache because he kept hearing Ettienne ask him this, “Shut up! If you keep asking me this, I'll stuff your mouth with a bomb!” said Raphael angrily, he cast his cold gaze on Ettienne who immediately turned pale. Actually Raphael still had some time before he started his mess with the Adventure Guild, more specifically with Anthony. However, Raphael had intended to do something small in
Because it wasn't too far away, Raphael soon arrived at the storage area for the festival that was about to take place. It was just that unfortunately, Raphael realised that there were already a lot of townspeople hanging around in the middle of the street at this time."It seems I was too late to come here. What can I do to make these people panic?" muttered Raphael immediately racked his brain to do something else at this time because his original plan of wanting to sneak into the warehouse couldn't be done because there were too many people there."Do you have any good ideas for me, System?" asked Raphael trying his luck asking his annoying System, it would be very good if the System would give him an idea at this point.[Wasn't this Host's idea of getting revenge? Then, why did the Host ask the System for ideas?]Raphael had expected that the damn System would give him the cold shoulder like this, but he didn't take System's words to heart. Raphael waved his hand and ignore
Raphael was well aware that the townspeople who were there glanced at him with scorn, even the people who were manning their tavern by the side of the road started to back away when he saw him walking.Because he was used to their treatment of him, Raphael finally decided to visit one of the taverns there and intended to buy food, he was hungry right now and he also wanted to check if these people would still treat him the same as before."How much i-"Not until Raphael finished his sentence, a woman who was guarding the tavern was scared and almost shouted at Raphael, making Raphael stop his sentence and stare at the woman in disbelief."Go away! Don't make our tavern bad luck with your arrival!" The woman shouted at Raphael who had an intention in front of his tavern, he couldn't see that despicable demon spreading bad luck in front of his tavern.Raphael secretly rolled his eyes when he heard what the woman had said to him, he was still astonished at the thought of these Crimson C
Indeed, it turned out that they were so stupid that they didn't recognize Raphael and were very surprised when they saw who Raphael really was. As for Raphael himself, he was very satisfied with the reactions given by everyone present, even Anthony didn't seem to expect what he was seeing at the moment.“So you've been pretending to leave here all this time, but you're still hanging around here. What do you really want?!” Anthony gritted his teeth while holding back the anger that was gathering inside him, he really didn't expect that he had been toyed with by Raphael."You're still asking what I want? After what you all have done to me all this time? Are you that idiot?” Raphael finally couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud when he heard what Anthony asked him.Everyone looked at Raphael confusedly, not knowing how to react to Raphael at this moment, but even so they felt a tug of fear in their hearts, feeling like Raphael wanted to do something to them.It took Raphael
Hearing what Catherine said at this time, at first Raphael couldn't believe what he was hearing, but seeing that there was no sign that Catherine was lying, Raphael came to believe that this news was genuine.Even though Raphael still couldn't believe it, somehow Catherine did it to make Andrew decide to leave Pearl City, Raphael was still happy with this good news, however they couldn't continue to be in Pearl City which was full of criminals."What will happened to get us out of Pearl City this time?" Ettienne, who still couldn't believe what he was hearing, became very curious about what Catherine had done to get them out of Pearl City."What is certain is that Catherine has done something to make Andrew finally agree to leave this city and continue our journey to the city of Sapphire." Raphael could only say this because he also didn't know what Catherine had done at this time."Somehow I even feel that Andrew will do something to us for making it like this," Ettienne replied fe
Andrew was not happy with what Catherine said at this time, he still couldn't believe what he was hearing at this time, how could this little witch dare to say such things to him in front of his soldiers like this."How dare you say that to me!" Andrew shouted loudly at Catherine without forgetting while raising his index finger towards Catherine angrily.It seemed that if no one was here it was certain that Andrew would run up to Catherine and attack her with all his strength because he was too annoyed.Even though she was quite surprised by what Andrew had done, Catherine remained calm in her place, not moving in the slightest at this time. Catherine reciprocated Andrew's treatment without releasing excessive emotions in return."But, you know best that as the Captain of this expedition, I am the one with the authority to make decisions. So, I myself will determine Raphael's punishment." Finally, Catherine also dropped her final attack on Andrew with the current facts.Andrew cou
There was a big fight between Raphael and the male bandits who came to attack their group. However, the fight didn't last long as reinforcements soon arrived and drove the bandits away.However, according to Raphael there was something strange going on here, there was no way they would just come like this, then leave after seeing help coming. Raphael immediately remembered about his friends who immediately left there to save themselves."What about them?" Raphael also intended to run towards the tent used by his Adventurer group, he wanted to see what was happening there.But, not to mention Raphael managed to take a step away from there, he already heard that he was called by someone. When Raphael turned around he found Andrew standing there with his proud face while glancing fiercely at Raphael."You! Stay here, I'll be interrogating the patrolmen on duty today!" Andrew also issued an order and forbade the patrol officers to leave the scene."But-"Raphael was just about to mak
As it got late, Raphael felt that the atmosphere around him was becoming increasingly tense and cold. Starting to sense that the guests coming tonight would soon bar their fangs at them.It's just that until now Raphael still didn't see any movement from them, making him quite suspicious of what was happening. Though now is the most appropriate time to launch an attack on the expeditionary group.Not only was it the middle of the night, but also because by this time the patrol members were quite caught off guard having already made two rounds of patrols and found nothing, so they had little intention of going out on patrol."Even though I was expecting them to attack at this point, why haven't they made their move even now?" muttered Raphael confusedly, he still didn't understand what the criminals were thinking.Having to be wary of attacks by criminals that could happen at any time, Raphael didn't move far from the tents of his group of Adventurers. If Raphael saw any sign that
It was only then that Raphael learned that Catherine had a secret place where they could hide if their group of Adventurers were attacked by criminals in Pearl City.That way Raphael was calm enough because at least his group of Adventurers could be a bit safe with the help given by Catherine. It's just that Raphael was a little suspicious of these criminals, weren't they afraid of the risk they would take by attacking the official expedition party from another city?For some reason Raphael thought that they were related to what James and Andrew had said earlier in the main building. Was Andrew keeping them here on purpose to finish them off? Raphael realised that what he was thinking was quite reasonable.Given that their group of Adventurers were troops brought personally by Catherine and Raphael guessed that Andrew didn't like this.It seems that because of his greed, Raphael guessed that Andrew wanted him to be in complete control of this expedition and use Catherine as his pup
Raphael had to wait a few moments for the argument between Catherine and Andrew to subside. After that Raphael also saw that Catherine walked out of the previous tent.At that time Raphael thought that this was not the right moment to tell Catherine the information he had. So, Raphael decided to immediately step away from that place to return to his patrol area.So that whole night Raphael followed his patrol obediently and luckily nothing bad happened that night. Because only one group was formed for the night patrol, Raphael could only rest when the sun rose. . . .Having not slept all night, Raphael woke up from his sleep at noon after the next morning he immediately returned to his group's tent to sleep and rest.When Raphael woke up from his sleep, he immediately came out of the tent because he heard a commotion that was quite disturbing. Raphael was quite curious when he heard that there was a noise coming from outside.What surprised Raphael when he was outside the tent
The rest of the night passed smoothly, thanks to the help from Ettienne, Raphael was not suspected when the core of the expedition made a check for trouble in the surroundings.Raphael, who was pretending to be asleep at that time, heard the reason they gave for checking the tents used by everyone.Due to last night's unusual events, Raphael heard that there had been a lot of whispers being heard among the soldiers as well as Adventurers. They were quite curious about what happened, so that the core members of the expedition made a sudden check.Robert and his two friends glanced at Raphael suspiciously, he suspected that Raphael had done something to make the core members of the expedition check last night."Is this your doing, Raphael?" asked Robert in a low voice, not wanting anyone else to hear what he was saying.Raphael shook his head slowly "No, I just went to meet Catherine at her tent last night," Raphael replied while telling the others about what he did last night after d
At this time Raphael was back to using his usual black robe when he wanted to act, usually he wandered around society with his casual appearance without a robe, now that he had to sneak into the residence of the leader of Pearl City, he had to use this robe to cover his appearance. .Right now Raphael was trying to be as calm as possible to enter the residence, he had to pay attention to his surroundings as there were many people standing guard there to protect the place. It's just that Raphael still doesn't know where the guards are.In order for Raphael to enter the residence, he first had to go take out the guards that were around the main building which was in a luxurious neighbourhood that had several buildings around it.If not then Raphael would make his target alert and he would most likely be chased by another guard who would soon come to arrest him and he would immediately make Andrew and his interlocutors become alert and be even more careful than before."I have to find
Throughout the day until nightfall everything went smoothly without anything suspicious happening. It was only when it was night like this that Raphael decided to meet Catherine, he chose this time so that not too many people would see him meet Catherine later.Currently in a fairly large circle along with several troops brought over by the Amethyst city government as well as the Adventurers were surrounding a bonfire while enjoying their dinner.Seeing that this was the right time to sneak in, Raphael gave Ettienne the signal that he would immediately go to meet Catherine first."Say something while I'm away so no one suspects me," Raphael whispered to Ettienne for help before slipping away."Don't worry, I will do something to cover your departure." Ettienne nodded his head understanding what Raphael meant at this time.After making sure everything was safe, Raphael slowly moved from his position and started away from the crowd of people who were gathering for dinner that night.T
