Chapter 101: The Bloody Bounty - Part 2

After leaving the building where they lodged, Aron began to roam the streets of Findel in search of the inn that Rose's informant had stayed in.

'The crescent moon inn should be around here...' Aron had followed the directions Rose had written in the journal to the letter and arrived at what seemed to be a busy district of the city.

This area in particular was one of the more dangerous parts of the city, but Aron didn't even mind it in the least. The sight of two obvious visitors to the city didn't go unnoticed and many people began to eye them with greedy expressions.

After all, it was common for aloof visitors to sometimes wander into the more dangerous parts of town, this left them as prey to many schemes.

This was the darker side of Findel, children would go missing, men would be killed and robbed, women would be taken advantage of or even captured, and some people would fall for gambling tricks and land in unpayable debt.

Jin had warned everyone thoroughly of the dangers hidden in this seemingly attractive city.

"There, a moon." Soon, Evanora caught sight of an inn with the crescent moon carved onto a board hung high up on the building. "Good job," Aron praised her and gave her a nod before the two began walking in that direction.

For whatever reason, even small things like this pleased Evanora. She enjoyed that she was being helpful in whatever way she could, her simple minded nature was something Aron still found hard to process. What adult would find pleasure in simply identifying a landmark?

He'd think her to be dumb weren't it for the fact that she had survived this long alone and evaded capture for her crimes. Trying to understand her thinking truly was a task on its own.

As they approached the inn, some people felt they lost an opportunity at the two while others still had hope and looked happy. Aron didn't mind the many gazes on him and ignored, but Evanora was very much aware of them, she looked up to Aron and spoke. "They want to hurt us, can Evanora kill them?" she asked in a casual manner as if asking for a snack, Aron, however, shook his head and she immediately abandoned the idea like it never existed.

Once inside the inn, they were met with new gazes. 'Humans really are annoying,' Aron thought to himself for a moment before heading towards the counter with Evanora in toll.

The women and men present at the many tables in the inn looked at Aron and Evanora keenly, who knew what they were thinking. One was what most women would describe as the perfect looking man while another was a pretty young girl who'd only grow to be more beautiful with time.

"I'm looking for a scholar by the name of Relos, he stayed here for quite some time so maybe you can help me." Aron didn't mince his words with the older looking woman who stood behind the counter, but she frowned at his words and shook her head. "Never heard of him, you must have the wrong inn."

"I'm sure I don't," Aron retorted and let a few gold coins drop on top of the counter. A single gold coin alone was worth so much to people of a lower class, yet he casually brought out so many.

The woman's expression turned grim, she was clearly enticedby this but also looked hesitant to speak. Just then, a burly looking man with a bare tattooed chest and a large saber on his hip held Aron by the shoulder and spoke..

"She said you have the wrong in, foreigner, why not leave now with your body intact. The gold stays, think of it as an apology to her and all of us for being disrespectful," the man said in a threatening manner and made sure to say the word "us" so as to get the other interested parties on board.

"The girl stays too!"

"And any more gold you have on you!"

Laughter began to resound in the inn as they mocked and threatened the pair more. Their lives were as good as forfeit, people in this part of the city knew to keep their mouths shut about missing people so after they dealt with these two before them, they were confident no consequences would follow, it wasn't their first time doing this after all.

Aron, however, didn't glance at the man holding his shoulder but instead launched his elbow into the man's face in an instant.

Crack!

The sound of bone cracking filled the air and the man's figure was sent flying with extraordinary force. He had actually smashed through the inn's wall and landed outside before breathing his last breath.

"I asked you a question." Aron's gaze remained on the woman and he asked in a more serious tone. The woman was shocked by what had just happened and felt worried, after all, she was the closest one to him right now.

Soon, the others stood and those with weapons unsheathed them, they looked ready to participate in a blood fight to kill him. However, once again, without looking back, he spoke but this time his words sealed their fates. "Evanora, you can kill them all."

At his word, Evanora turned around and her expression remained the same as she raised her hand and spoke. "Evanora wants you all to burn." With a glow in her eyes, her will was carried out by the mana within the tavern and everyone instantly burst into flames.

The victims couldn't even run or attempt to put it out since it burned them far too quickly from the legs going up, she had wanted them to suffer and, although she didn't say it, it was still projected in her will.

Loud shrieks of pain could be heard outside the filled tavern. The woman behind the counter was the only one that remained and she felt her legs grow weak, in all her years she had seen many incidents happen in her inn but never one at such a scale. For the first time, she experienced true terror before her.

"Relos, th-that scholar man, he just vanished without a word! I swear upon my life!" The older woman hurriedly spoke and Aron saw an indicator that she was lying, he sighed and turned to walk away with Evanora in toll, completely ignoring the screaming burning corpses.

Once the two got outside, many gazes landed on them. Aron gave Evanora a glance and instructed. "Burn it all down."

At his command, she turned to the inn they just exited and muttered. "Burn till nothing is left." Once again, her eyes flickered with a radiant glow and her will was carried out.

The building soon burst into large flames. Everyone who saw these had a look of surprise, the so called helpless foreigners they were eyeing had just done something even the imperial family wouldn't be so bold as to do.

'I won't get anywhere with this missing informant, so I'll have to pass it to Khalifa, I should just go see the area the beasts were sighted at.' Aron glanced at the burning building indifferently before praising Evanora and walking off with her by his side.

No one even dared to follow them or have funny ideas after seeing a whole building erupt in vicious flames at her magic command.
