Chapter 139: Ch 139: A Whole New World- Part 3
"Hey, you look like a festive firecracker. You won’t last long in here if you continue to be like this. Fortunately for you, I like people like you the most. What do you say? Do you want to co and spend so ti with ? I promise I will take care of you well."
The man who grabbed my wrist asked with a crazy look in his eyes.
There was so unstable energy around that man that warned
to stay away from him. So that was what I decided to do.
I yanked my hand out of that tight grip and gave that man a blank look before replying.
"No. I do not want you to take care of . I am fine the way I am."
Now it was the man’s turn to look offended. His outstretched hand was still holding my wrist, but his face seed to have gone a mixture of red and green as he looked at .
"Y-You—! Tsk, you bitch—! Just because I gave you so attention does not an you get to show off or be all high-maintenance like this. It seems like you have no idea what kind of people you are making an enemy of."
The man said with an agitated voice. I was sure he was talking about himself, but I saw others looking at
from the corner of their eyes as well, wondering how I would handle this situation.
Not that I was intimidated.
"Everyone is welco to make
their enemy if they want to. Now, I would like to go back and do my work."
I told the man, and he gritted his teeth before giving
a final warning.
"Arrogant people like you do not last long. I wonder if I will even see you tomorrow."
The man said before he left. The tension in the air fell as well after that.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a few other waiters giving
concerned looks. The others looked at
as if I had lost my mind or sothing.
But one thing was for sure—no one was on my side.
After that confrontation, a few more people tried to get close to
but were t with a similar rejection. I managed to finish my tasks for the day and then headed back to my room.
I kept an eye out for the female who was taken to the backrooms, but she never made an appearance anymore.
Instead, I saw the female who was my guide walk toward
with an agitated expression on her face, and as soon as she stood in front of , she cleared her throat.
"Ahm, you did a decent job today, but if you want to work long-term in this industry, you need to be careful not to cause any trouble to our patrons. After all, they are our lifeline and also the reason we are able to afford anything here. So next ti, pretend to follow them and—"
The female trailed off as soon as she noticed that there was sothing wrong with our surroundings.
I had noticed as soon as the air changed, and my sharp senses told
that I was being followed by soone.
’Ah, looks like the threat from before is coming at
full force now.’
I had been threatened a few tis tonight by people, but I had not thought that soone would actually act on these threats to try and take
out.
Worrying for myself was not sothing I needed to do. But my guide was a different case. She was innocent and only caught in the cross-fire because of .
"W-What is going on here? The world went dark all of a sudden? Y-You, stay close to . I have a bad feeling about this—"
Sothing sharp was thrown toward the guide in front of
and I blocked it using my knife swiftly before I threw my first knife in the direction of the attack and got ready to parry the second one.
My knife hit sothing, but it was likely not my target because I could feel movent around us.
"W-What is going on here?"
My guide asked as she clutched her chest and tried to ground herself.
"We are being attacked by soone. Be careful or you might lose your life."
I told my guide as I parried another attack. My words made her go pale and look around with a panicked expression.
"W-We are being hunted? But why? I never did anything—? It is all your fault. You are the reason I will die."
The female sounded hysterical when she spoke. She was convinced that we both would die, despite the fact that she could see I had the upper hand here.
I kept my mouth shut and gave the female a look, but my instincts kept tracking my attacker and stopping them from being able to hurt either of us.
The assassin who ca to kill us seed like an expert, but they were also getting impatient because I refused to allow them to hit us.
’The assassin’s pride must be damaged beyond repair by now. What should I do to make sure they show themselves soon?’
I asked myself, and there was only one answer that ca to mind—force them in a way that would leave them no choice but to co out.
And to do that, I would have to crush the assassin beyond repair.
That’s what I did as well. I used my power in the dungeon to call for my familiar, and as soon as I felt the assassin step close to my familiar, I exploded the jellyfish.
The loud explosion damaged the assassin’s ear and dazed them, and I used that ti to catch them.
"Oh fuck—! What are you—"
The assassin tried to speak, but I knocked him out before he could finish. That was how I had an assassin in my grip, and I was going to question him about this place as much as I wanted to.
