My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

Chapter 193 Golden Raven Inn and bar

Jake and his friends had finally gotten to the Raven's city and they could see the advancement here was better than Aurora city and Jake was thinking of making Aurora advanced like this if it had any chance of competing with the top guilds.

Jake had decided he would talk to Humfree or Kate about slowly introducing this much advancement into the guild if they stood any chance of getting to the top.

That was when they had seen the mistreatment from the soldiers to some people the escorted in tattered clothing and being covered in shackles as if they were prisoners.

Jake seeing this was angry and wanted to lash out but Alex and Zee's voice or reason stopped him. Since he didn't know what to do, Jake just walked around until his feet brought him to a stall that sold beautiful things.

That was when Jake's eyes laid on a beautiful necklace and he decided to get it for Kate but before he could pay for it, a voice was heard asking the stall owner to pack it up.

Turning around, Jake's eyes laid on a person who was covered in a purple robe with the hood covering their face while a large man was seen standing beside the person also wearing a black robe.

Looking at them, Jake raised an eyebrow. "I want to buy this necklace."

"And so do I." The purple robe figure said.

"Can't you just get something else?" Peter asked.

"No, I want this one." The figure pointed to the necklace again. "But I'm willing to let it go on one condition."

"What's that?" Alex asked.

"I want a hug from you." The purple robe figure said.

"A hug?" Jake asked. "I don't even know you."

"Well you do know me." The figure said as she pulled down their hood slightly for Jake to see it.

"Helen!" Jake said surprised then she quickly placed her finger on her lips.

"Shuush!" She placed her finger on her lips. "Get what you want to get and let's get out of here."

Jake quickly paid for the necklace and it was packed for him as he left with his friends and Helen led the way to someplace else.

"How much was all of that?" Helen asked.

"1500 credits ma'am." The man smiled.

"One thousand what?" Jake almost shouted but he toned down his voice.

"It's okay, I can pay for it." Helen said as she did the transfer from her watch to the man's before he left.

"That was quite expensive." Peter commented.

"It's okay." Helen said.

"So i'm guessing that's berg beside you right." Jake said.

"Yes." Berg replied as he pulled down his hood slightly before he covered it back up like Helen.

"Why are you all covering your faces?" Peter asked.

"We are trying to conceal our identities from everyone." Berg replied.

"Why?" Alex asked.

"Because there's a manhunt for Helen and me. And the reward is a total of a hundred thousand credits." Berg replied.

"Hundred what?" Now it was Alex's turn to almost shout.

"Who will be crazy enough to put that much amount of money on your heads?" Alex asked.

"The leader of the Iron Fist Guild." Jake replied, tensing his fist in anger.

"But why will he do that? Why lose that amount of money just for the two of you?" Peter asked with a raised brow.

"Because I know his little secret." Helen said.
