Three silhouettes were seen walking down the dark path in silence. There were no beast around as Ethan had slaughtered them on their way. Now he couldn't gain any exp from slaughtering low level beasts. He now had 100 exp and it remained 600 exp for him to levelup to level 8. Ethan knew that to break through to awakened he needs to be at level 10. Ethan was now prepared to enter the tier 2 level dungeon.
"Halt they are coming hide" Gloria said as the trio hid in a dark corner of the path . The path was too dark so it would be harder for someone to notice except if they were strong awakened. moments later Corrie and 3 tanks were seen walking down the paths looking badly injured.
Corrie himself was breathing heavily as if he just escaped a death trap. Dread was seen in his eyes. His fellow men were no much better gashes were seen in their armours.
"who would have thought we encountered three mutant shadow wraiths on our way" Corrie said looking at his injured men . " nonsense you abandoned us that why 2 of our men lost their lives if only you used your rock ability to protect us" a tanker shouted at Corrie. Corrie looked calm as he said .
" what are you saying the shadow wraiths could turn intangible, my rock ability couldn't stop them" he said . " you just wait till we reach outside and tell our masters" the tanker looked at Corrie with stern eyes. Looking at the tanker Corrie became angry. " How dare you blame me I saved your rat lives shitheads without me how will you have been able to avoid the shadow wraiths " Corrie shouted.
" nonsense you want to use us to kill the dungeon boss right " the tanker said becoming angrier he hated this self righteous bastard. " what choice do we have we will be dead by tommorow if we don't find and kill the boss" Corrie retorted. The tankers didn't have any choice it was true if they don't kill the dungeon boss how will they leave here.
" I am afraid you don't need to ask. The boss is dead and you are not leaving here alive" a voice said in the dark. Immediately the tankers and Corrie became alarmed. " who TF is there show yourself and we will show mercy" Corrie shouted. " aha who is in a dangerous position right now you are about to die deepshit you have no right to bargain with me" the voice said. " what are you talking about " A tanker asked shakily.
Immediately a shadow rushed out like a phantom appearing behind Corrie. Corrie felt the cold blade at his throat. How fast he couldn't even see it. "who are you I will pay you if you let me go" he said looking calm. The tankers were just looking at the person behind Corrie with shock. of course it was Ethan.
"I have already been bought I value my reputation" Ethan said. It was just now Corrie remembered the voice. "Ethan?" Corrie was filled with dread. "shhh don't make too much noise although I have killed the dungeon boss I can't say for his minions" Ethan said. Corrie was shocked how did he. He is not even an awakened yet.
"I will pay you two million and I won't say anything to the brotherhood" Corrie said calming his heartbeat. "Ah gosh are you deaf. do you think I am stupid" Ethan whispered with calm. "pay all the money in your account and I may give you a fast death". Ethan said. " Aren't you afraid the brotherhood will trace the transaction" a tanker asked. " eh you think they have time to think about a dead awakened in a dungeon. They have much on their plates." Ethan said with calm." Aren't you afraid we will report you " another tanker asked.
" you should be grateful I am sparing your lives, you think this guy is going to let you keep your lives" Ethan asked. He didn't like killing people at of no reason he has his own righteousness. " ok fine we will keep quiet as long as you spare us" They all said at the same time. "good you can go" Ethan said. They nodded as they turned and started running towards the exit.
"what are you doing bastards this is treason is this how you pay back your masters son if you leave my father will ask you what happened to me" Corrie shrieked. "well we will tell them you are a cowardly leader who left us to die" The tanker said as they ran away.
"see your little men is gone time to die" Ethan said . "wait let me send you 5 million" Corrie said. This was terrifying who would have thought the weak boy from yesterday would kill him today. was he an assassin in disguise.
"There is no need I have paid him enough" Gloria said as she came out from the shadows. "eh bitch it you, you haven't died yet" Corrie snickered. "yes who do you think I hired of course my bodyguard dealt with your lackey, now die" Gloria didn't waste time as she rushed to Corrie with her blade in hand. But before she could reach him his neck was already sliced by Ethan blood spraying out like fountain.
"I thought I said I need that one" Gloria looked at Ethan angrily. "I have my grudges with him" Ethan said as he cleaned his blade. "And who said you could let the tanker go " She asked. "you didn't pay me for that" Ethan said .
"asshole" she cursed. "I guess Ethan hasn't lost it all " Freddy sighed in relief. He thought Ethan had turned into a killer devil."quickly let leave here before the dungeon portal closes we only have two minutes left till it resets " Freddy said. They quickly rushed out without wasting time.
Shortly the trio left the dungeon. Now the dungeon was now greener meaning it had become less dangerous. Ethan collected his share from the dungeon manager a total of 50k ace coin. But Ethan didn't care much he now have enough to remove his family from the slums now. " Hey Ethan " Gloria shouted running. "what our deal is done I don't want people to see you near me " Ethan said .
" why do I look ugly " she asked looking at Ethan. " miss Gloria is good looking it just that this guy doesn't want her suitors trouble" he said . " eh who said I liked you, you are not my type" she said . this made Freddy chock . " Then what do you want " Ethan asked not caring.
" I want you to be my bodyguard for the next raid " she said. " no I have things to do "Ethan said walking away . " hey how dare you walk away from me do you know who I am" Gloria chased. " well you are the rich girl who almost got killed in the dungeon today " Ethan said with calm.
" I will pay you 2 million " she said still following him ." I am sorry I still have to decline" Ethan said. after a while of bantering she finally accepted. " fine at least give me your contact maybe if you have time" she asked. Ethan didn't talk much he still need some money. he quickly gave her his number . This surprised Gloria abit "seems money can buy anything" she smirked.
"bye for now I will give you a call later" she said. Ethan didn't reply. "wow Ethan you did good today not only were you able to beat Corrie and James you also got that Belle's number" Freddy teased. "eh it just for business nothing more" Ethan retorted. "I have heard time will tell " Freddy laughed. Ethan almost slapped him to the ground. Out of all the girls in the world she will be the last he will date . That girl is too witty.
