Will of chaos

701 Cap 699: A dangerous person

Pov Jonah's:

As soon as he passed through the city gates he heard about him, and many people from other continents come here to shop away from the eyes of others.

Because of that many kinds of information pass through here, I heard a lot of rumors about him in the Morror Continent from the Human slavers, but they were just rumors with nothing to back it up.

It was different when he arrived on this continent, my eyes reach this entire continent, and I know the things he did, I may have my doubts about some of these things since many mysteries surround this Vampire.

But one thing's for sure, he's strong, very strong, besides being more dangerous than he looks.

When I learned that someone had captured my right arm, I was eager to show the mistake they had made, but I hesitated when I learned who it was.

Alexandra has SS Grade strength, she was trained as an Adventurer and later as an Assassin, she is smart enough to know when not to fight, for her having been captured along with her subordinates means it was someone who surpassed her in strength by a large margin.

I was thinking of a way to meet him, but I couldn't seem weak, reputation is often the strongest shield for those who live the way I do.

But when I got to my room and saw him, I knew I didn't have to worry anymore, what he did getting past the security of this place and the various traps show a lot of his ability.

I sat next to him for a few seconds, he blurted out a little, I'm sure this whole encounter was a big warning not to bother him.

After I left, I spread my Aura to force Alexandra and her subordinates to wake up, she looks around and gets up to stand in front of me.

"I'm sorry Jonah, it looks like I kicked a Dragon scale this time." (Alexandra)

"Alright, he doesn't have to be an enemy." (I)

"Did you find out anything while you were trapped?" (I)

"Somewhat makes me more certain that making an enemy of him is the path to death." (Alexandra)

"Tell me more." (I)

"I was trapped in a room the whole time, I noticed bloodstains and the smell of death, but I didn't recognize the architecture, it could be anywhere." (Alexandra)

"All I know is the person who asked me questions initially, it took me a while to recognize her due to her physical changes, but I'm pretty sure it was a Vampire named Elsaris, someone who works for the Black Market." (Alexandra)

"I've heard her name before." (I)

"She's someone smart and strong, but what stands out is her boldness, she always kills with a smile on her face, she was the one who attacked me first, I'm surprised she didn't try to kill me." (Alexandra)

"In addition to Elsaris, I was also interrogated by the young Vampire, her Aura was terrifying, it was the first time I felt as afraid as I was at that moment." (Alexandra)

"It seemed to be an effect of his Aura or maybe some ability, but I'd bet it's his Aura." (Alexandra)

"Why did he capture you?" (I)

"A coincidence, I was training the new recruit we took from the orphanage, he tried to steal that Vampire just to be taken away effortlessly, I couldn't measure his strength or recognize anyone with him at that moment, so I tried to attack." (Alexandra)

I look at the scared boy in the corner of the room shaking, I hope he recovers, his skills and potential are too good to be wasted like that.

"I see, take the boy and his minions, be here at dawn, we'll meet the 5 idiots in the morning." (I)

"Alright, I really need some sleep." (Alexandra)

Sigh

After I was left alone, I sat in the armchair and thought about what I learned about him, he was not pretending to be calm, he was completely safe in enemy territory, this is his ability to get this far shows that he was able to feel the force of all my guards.

He didn't say straight fat, but he made it clear that he knows a little about me to know my name is this location, few are those who know these things.

"To make him an enemy would be foolish." (I)

The next morning.

Private meeting room in a restaurant.

For almost an hour it was the same as usual.

Good food and the 5 strongest crime lords below me arguing over supposedly random things while trying to get information from each other.

The guards were in the surrounding rooms, downstairs and on the roof, Alexandra is among them, so we should be safe from any eavesdropping, at least that would normally be the case.

Soon that Vampire by the name of Zenos appeared through the door talking as if he owned the place, then threw many disembodied heads on the table among the food.

I kept eating, a little blood would be a decent sauce for a meal like this, too bad my drink fell to the floor when it hit one of those heads.

He was calm as he spoke but showed his Aura as if she was pointing a blade at every one in the room.

I knew for the guards in the vicinity not to have acted by now it must be because they didn't notice or are unable to do anything at the moment.

I just watched, not Zenos, but the 5 in front of me, the moment I saw these heads I knew someone had done something stupid like sending Assassins towards this Vampire.

Just as I suspected, in a short time he killed the one he believed to be responsible before leaving the room, he walked in and out as he pleased without caring about the people in the room.

He seemed to do this as if he had been carried away by emotion, but I watched his eyes, he was acting, he wasn't angry or acting without thinking.

He came here to show his strength and paint a blood sign saying that anyone in his path will die.

A person who kills someone is not dangerous, the really dangerous one is the one who does it brutally and calmly while still thinking about the repercussions.

Right after he left, I'm leaving, I have nothing else to sort out here actually I used magic to inform my subordinates to attack the territories of the idiot who died, I couldn't let it all go to waste, I can use this to raise a lesser criminal leader idiot to take the place of the fool who died.

Pov Nira:

I returned the day after the first meeting for the Commerce Guild.

I met up with Bryan again to talk about the Auction, and everything was resolved with less hassle.

The price paid to use the Trade Guild infrastructure and resources for this auction will be 500 Gold Coins, plus 5% of Auction earnings.

This seemed above expectations and I offered as a counter-offer to pay 350 gold coins in advance and 3% of the Auction's earnings.

After a long time of talking ended up with 370 gold coins and 4% of the auction profits, the truth is that the price was fair, but with arguments about using our own people for the Auction.

Also, he managed to talk to the other traders yesterday, he gave me documents talking about the traders who accepted the deal directly and those who wanted to make another proposal.

I accepted the two who accepted the proposal I wrote the last time, which makes me get 4 stores without counting the two without an owner in the Guild.

The last two wanted a different proposal, one of them wanted double the amount in the agreement, this one I tore up the paper to disregard such an idiot.

The second wanted to accept the proposal with an increase to earn 5% of the store's profit during these days, I found the proposal better presented and rational, so I didn't tear it up and asked Mr. Bryan to notify the merchant in question that I refuse his increase, but I can add 10% to the total value of the previous proposal.

There were a few other merchants, many of whom demonstrated suitable offers, but I declined any other than a direct, upfront payment.

I can't promise anything related to the store's profits, it could negatively influence the competition.

After a while, Yomi enters through the door to land on my shoulder.

After a few more minutes I was able to sign a contract with the 6 stores that we are going to need, I also organized the days when we will need these stores, and the day we would keep the stores was agreed.

After this long morning of negotiations where Ivan didn't help at all, we finally got back to the mansion with good news, we can start plans for 3 days from now.

I will suggest to the master to start with just the 6 stores and after they close the doors on the last day to hold the auction.

So their name should already be a little known, which in turn will raise the value of the items up for auction.

With that all should be resolved, now I can concentrate the rest of my time looking in the stores, I think I'll ask for help from the Gray Elves of the Dungeon to find those various materials that Nicolas made a list of, I hope to find everything quickly.
