Chapter 230 Bounty Hunter

“Hello, Kiara. My name is Aldred. Would you like to sleep with me tonight?”

Mareona struck him in the head.

“I am joking.” He chuckled.

Kiara chuckled and smiled at him. “You’re funny.”

“He can be annoying at times, but Aldred is a good person. Nice to meet you, Kiara,” Mareona said. “You can call me Mareona.”

Everyone introduced their name one by one, and Kiara smiled and shook their hands intimately.

Lastly, it was Krista’s turn to introduce her name.

“Hello,” Kiara said. “Oh my, you’re one cute girl. My name is Kiara. May I know yours?”

“Krista.”

“Krista. What a beautiful name. Just like you.” She caressed Krista’s head which made Krista blush.

Kiara was a beautiful leonin girl. She had never seen someone so beautiful, graceful, and majestic before.

If someone told her that Kiara was a queen of a nation, she would believe them in a heartbeat.

Her appearance, clothings, and accessories were also the important factors Aldred thought she might be the daughter of a noble.

“Alright, coachmen! You can continue our journey now.”

“Yes, sir!”

The coachmen whipped the beast and the carriages continued their journey.

“Where are we going?” Kiara asked.

“We’re going to the Ceraisian Empire to procure a ship,” Aldred said.

“You said earlier you will go to the sea. Why?”

“Have you ever heard or remembered about the ‘treasure’? The ones that can give you a chance to become an Adamantite Rank?”

“I don’t remember anything.”

“It’s okay. Basically, after obtaining this treasure, I can reach Platinum Rank immediately which would usually take decades even for the most talented person. I don’t know who put this curse, but it even works on an anomaly like me.”

“I was shocked as well,” Mary said. “At first I thought the curse won’t work on you since you are so powerful.”

“Yeah.” Aldred nodded. His blessings were given by the gods, so it didn’t make any sense that a mere curse from a low-level planet could constrict his talent.

Something big must be at play here.

“Stella,” Aldred called.

“Yes, darling?” she sweetly replied and put her slender hand on his chest.

“You said the world assigned you to become the tester in Mount Fargon right?”

“Yes?”

“How does the world tell you to do that?”

“Sometimes a voice appears in my head, sometimes there is a weird urge telling me to do something.”

“What will happen if you refuse?”

“I am not sure. I never had the thought of refusing. It’s like obeying its order was a natural thing, and disobeying it didn’t even pass my mind.”

“That’s weird isn’t it?”

“It is weird now that I think about it.”

“It’s like you were brainwashed.”

“Yeah… it does feel like I was brainwashed.”

“So even an ancient existence like you cannot fathom the world’s power.”

“I am not the world, Aldred. I am merely an intelligent life that borrows the world’s power, trying to mimic its true might. With magic anything seems possible, but rules still exist. Though a lot of those rules don’t apply to you.”

Aldred laughed at that.

,??m Krista was talking with Kiara until Krista suddenly frowned and looked out of the window.

“Big brother Aldred, can we not pass that hill?”

“Why?”

“Krista doesn’t know but Krista’s feeling says to avoid it.”

Aldred laughed. “Don’t worry. Everyone here is a powerful warrior. Did you know that we climbed the tallest mountain on this continent and defeated a lot of beasts and challenges on the way. Besides, we have a lot of soldiers escorting us. Each one of those guys have been with me from the start. I have confidence with them.”

“Is that so…”

“Yes, so you don’t need to worry. Which hill are you scared of anyway?”

“That one.” She pointed.

“That’s just a small hill.”

She then pointed to a bunch of hills in the area.

“You pointed to all the hills around here.” Aldred laughed. “I didn’t know you’re afraid of hills.”

Krista shook her head. “Krista is not scared of hills.”

Suddenly, the hills disappeared and what replaced them was group of cavalries.

“That’s the Death Lord! Kill him!”

“Kill him and we can retire with the bounty on his head!”

“I want to buy 30 prostitutes after this! Let’s get him!”

“Oh? Bounty hunters?” Aldred asked calmly. Not a single frown appeared on his face when he saw the enemy.

Even his girls were still calmly drinking juices and eating fruits as the enemy cavalry approached them.

The coachmen, Bartrem, and all the soldiers were silent as if they didn’t notice the army.

No. It was more like the enemy was too insignificant for them to look at.

No one could blame them for having this mindset. After traveling with Aldred and fighting through every monstrosity available, the scene of hundreds of cavalry warriors charging at them felt like nothing.

It was no different than relaxing on top of a hill with a glass of wine in hand.

“Death Lord!” one of the cavalry at the front shouted. “Hand over your head and we will let your women go. If not, then I guess I can have fun with them before I kill you! Hahaha!”

They licked their lips at the thought of having Aldred’s women. They all knew how beautiful the Death Lord’s women are, and any male in the world would salivate at their sexy body.

“Come on, boys! Follow me for glory and wealth! We will take the so-called Death Lord’s head and then we will take his women away.”

“I heard a lot of his soldiers are female and all of them are as beautiful as angels!”

“Fuck! Just thinking about it makes me hard! Come on, leader! Let’s go faster.”

“Hell yeah!”

They kicked their horses, making them gallop faster towards Aldred.

Mary popped a grape-like fruit inside Aldred’s mouth as he watched the cavalry approaching.

He then raised his hand slowly and then pointed at them.

“Red Rain.”
