Chapter 253: Need to stop thinking so much

Bang!

”Yes! Got it!”

”Damn it!”

”Fuck!”

One of the bullets fired at the wolf hit him in the back of the thigh. The man who fired the shot was very happy, while the others started cursing.

”Ahahahahah! Losers! Where are my credits?” He laughed.

”Youʼre just lucky!” they replied.

”Well, well! When you won the previous bet, you didnʼt say that,” they joked at him.

”Tsch!” — The man clicked his tongue and handed over the credits he had lost in this bet.

”Hehe, enjoy it while you can. There are two more goals, and I will definitely get mine,” he muttered.

Kraus, arms crossed over his chest, looked down on how ordinary people were happy to shoot at defenseless beasts. As a Gold-ranked awakened one, he looked at them with disdain.

If it wasnʼt for his presence, these people wouldnʼt behave so freely. They were on the Northern Border, where it was dangerous for ordinary people to be outside the city. Due to the strange energy, there were almost no beasts left that hadnʼt undergone evolution.

Unlike humans, all animals have become more dangerous and deadly than before.

”Now this wolf has become an easy target! Letʼs make a new bet! Whoever gets in the head is the winner!” one of the men suggested, and the others enthusiastically agreed.

Each of them got great pleasure from what was happening. Itʼs not every day that they manage to shoot evolved beasts and gamble at the same time.

”Hey! Look!” one of the men exclaimed, noticing the silhouettes of two approaching people nearby.

Kraus, who had been silently watching what was happening, also looked there and saw two young men confidently walking across the snowy ground towards them.

They were dressed in good winter clothes, which immediately attracted his attention. Kraus couldnʼt help but notice that they didnʼt look like military or ordinary civilians. But what really surprised him was a small fox—like beast sitting on the shoulder of the guy who was walking in front.

The beasts also noticed the two people approaching. However, the reaction of the two foxes was different from that of the wolf, who, despite the pain of the wound received from the shot, still bared his teeth, unwilling to give up.

The foxes abruptly fell silent; their gazes fixed on the little fox on the guyʼs shoulder. They could feel the pressure coming from this little creature, as if their blood and bloodline were calling out to him. The foxes were ready to prostrate themselves before her and submit to this little fox.

”You will be in my debt, Coco,” Idan said calmly, walking towards the people, addressing the fox on his shoulder.

”Do you know how much your candies cost?”

Coco looked at Idan and shook her head.

”Theyʼre very expensive,” Idan said, ”so itʼs time for you to work and help us earn some money. Then the number of candies you will receive will increase.”

A shadow of doubt appeared on Cocoʼs face. Her boss offered her to earn money, but how? She didnʼt know where to start.

”You know the language of beasts, donʼt you?” asked Idan, noticing her thoughtful look.

Coco nodded.

”Do you see two foxes? If we manage to save them, ask them for a rescue fee. Demand something useful—a rare resource, information, or something else that can be sold,” Idan suggested.

Cocoʼs eyes lit up.

”Woo-woo-woo,” she purred, making it clear to Idan that he could count on her.

Idan, looking at her enthusiasm, smiled to himself.

Yes, the sweets he and Arabel had given Coco were expensive, and Idan had just said it as a joke, but now, seeing how excited she was, he wanted to see what would happen.

Ned followed Idan silently, listening attentively to what his Master was saying to the little fox. His mind started working, and he also wanted to help his Master earn some credits.

”It looks like theyʼre not military,” Idan concluded, carefully examining the group from a close distance.

As Idan and Ned approached, a group of men drew their weapons. Seeing their wariness, Idan and Ned stopped.

The group assessed each other in silence for some time.

Although Idan looked a little careless, he was very focused and careful on the inside.

Before the group of ordinary people could do anything against the two strangers, Kraus stepped forward.

”Are you an awakened one?” Kraus asked Idan directly.

Idan did not rush to answer, he carefully studied the man in front of him and the men who stood behind him, holding their weapons at the ready.

”Yes, I am an awakened one,” Idan confirmed, adding a note of arrogance to his voice that matched his appearance and the role of the young master he had chosen.

”I see youʼre an awakened one too? Are you from this town?” Idan asked Kraus before he could ask another question.

Kraus didnʼt like Idanʼs arrogant tone, but he didnʼt show it.

”Yes, I am an awakened one. And no, Iʼm not from this city,” he replied.

The men also began to dislike Idan, and he noticed it right away. Dissatisfaction could be seen on their faces.

”Well, gentlemen, I see you had fun torturing defenseless beasts?”— looking at the audience, Idan asked. Then, without waiting for an answer, he raised his voice slightly and said: ”The fun is over, go away!”

”What?!” someone from the crowd exclaimed, outraged by Idanʼs words. Kraus also frowned upon hearing such an audacious call.

Idan, realizing that this crowd in front of him was the dregs of society, felt some desire to get rid of them. But at the same time, something was holding him back, and he couldnʼt figure out what it was. Therefore, whenever possible, he tried to prevent the situation from going too far, but at the same time did not exclude this possibility.

”So what if youʼre an Awakened One? Who do you think you are?” one of the men shouted.

”Who are you to give us orders?”

”Get out of here yourself!”

Idan listened to them calmly, but suddenly felt a strong killing intent coming from behind him and through his contract with Ned.

Ned didnʼt like the way the group of weak men in front of him were yelling at his master. He was filled with indignation and a desire to destroy all these people.

Idan shook his head. He was kind of jealous of Nedʼs mindset, which was so simple. At the same time, Idan himself, for some reason, liked to complicate everything and look for unusual solutions.

Idan thought he should stop thinking so much and look for easy ways. Sometimes itʼs better to act straightforwardly, and only then deal with the consequences. After all, Idan sometimes made a big deal out of a molehill with his thoughts.

He needed to find a balance.

But before Idan could make a final decision, Kraus suddenly said:

”Letʼs go!”

The crowd of men behind him fell silent in surprise. However, they soon began to get indignant:

”What?”

”Why?”

”There are only two of them, arenʼt there?”

”Chickened out?”

Everyone expressed their displeasure, but Kraus ignored them.

”I said, letʼs go!” — he repeated even louder, and the men, seeing his serious look, finally fell silent.

”What about the beasts?” One of the men asked.

”Leave them,” Kraus ordered.

One by one, the men began to pack their things, cursing and expressing dissatisfaction. Kraus didnʼt budge, staring intently at Idan and waiting for everyone to leave.

”Weʼll meet again,” he said one last time and was the last to leave the room, leaving Idan with a thoughtful look.

”Did you remember everyone?” — Idan asked Ned, and Ned nodded.

Ned really remembered all the men who insulted Idan, and he wonʼt forget their faces soon.

”Good, — Idan said to Ned.

Idan had a bad feeling that this would not be the end of the matter. He did not relax, but on the contrary, increased his caution. He even used all his Soul Force to sense any changes around him.

After making sure that everyone was beyond the range of his Soul Force, Idan did not dispel it, but turned his attention to the beasts. He left the Soul Force activated, even though he knew it could be exhausting. However, it never hurts to take extra precautions. Especially when it came to guns.
