Chapter 157: The Treat

The group was talking about Shen’s death, the news had already spread far and wide and Ziggy was found guilty for it.

Peg played a prank and Ziggy went too mad and killed an innocent person, everyone pitied the poor Shen.

Neil smiled, he was reminded of the whole thing he had set up, it was just perfect.

“You will now be teleported, a light headache is normal.” A guy nonchalantly announced, he clearly needed to do this too many times in a day.

The door closed and the room buzzed slightly, Neil felt a familiar sensation, similar to what he had felt when his domain got teleported.

Or when he teleported out of the lizard man settlement after breaking the orb.

And all ten of them were teleported away in the next moment.

In the bathroom of the same base, the guy who had talked with Neil went to wash his face.

“Sigh I should control my greed, if I keep taking illegal money and getting caught, I’ll be fired. I have to find a way to not get caught.” he thought deeply.

He splashed water over his face, clearing his mind. The shadow under his feet trembled slightly then it rose and turned into a human-like figure.

A human-like figure but made of darkness only.

The man wiped his face and looked at the mirror, his soul left his body upon seeing a shadow standing right behind him.

But just as he was about to scream, shadowy hands wrapped around his head which then twisted and made it explode like a melon.

The headless body fell to the floor with a thud, a pool of blood all around him, the shadow just disappeared in the next moment.

The washroom stayed in complete silence for a while, only when a man entered the bathroom did the body get discovered.

He was scared shitless and screamed like a scared little girl, almost fainting.

Soon officers rushed into the bathroom and the investigation began.

One after another, several crime scenes were discovered across the settlement, this was the first time someone had failed to commit murder so openly, and during the day.

Each crime scene was so brutal that no clues could be found from the bodies.

Even the warden got involved since the matter blew up, the people who were killed might be ordinary but they were quite well known in the surroundings.

For various reasons.

…

Neil and the nine others teleported to the boundary of the human territory, they were in the same white room.

“Hahaha I could never get used to this, I would just keep teleporting just for the thrill if only it was cheaper.” A middle-aged man wearing a green hat spoke.

“Ha this time I paid for your booking, next time you will have to do it for me!!” the other guy in a blue hat spoke.

“Aye don’t sweat little details, what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is already mine, we are friends. Let’s not bring money into this intimate relationship.” the green hat man said happily.

They looked around and saw Neil who was wearing rather expensive armor, and knew this guy must be a rich lord.

Maybe they could freeload off of him and get some free food, some money and maybe more.

“Young brother, are you new here?” the green hat man asked, walking towards Neil with a big smile.

“No, I had been here for 80 years.” Neil said, just from the looks on their faces he could tell what they must be thinking.

“Ah? Oh hahaha nice joke, I am Green and this is my friend Blue, well these aren’t our real names rather the names we go by. So, what are you here for?” Green asked, getting too friendly.

The blue hat guy also walked closer, though he didn’t speak, he was aware of his bad communication skills.

Others can easily make a fool of him, even his friend keeps stealing his money.

So this time he decided to make a fool of someone else.

“I received a contract to kill two guys, I just know they wear colorful hats.” Neil replied, as the door opened he started walking out.

The two men quickly followed him while the others went in different directions, they only glanced at the two and shook their heads.

They were inside a smaller base which was mostly for teleportation, outside was also a market and restaurants.

All of them seemed pretty expensive however, as they were close to the boundary and mostly the ones who had teleported would go to.

“Young friend, how about we eat together, we have been here many times, and I am sure our knowledge would be of great use to you.” Green said, he clearly didn’t want to share his real name.

“…Why not, that hotel looks good, let’s eat there.” Neil pointed towards one of the hotels.

Green and Blue looked to the side and were shocked to see him point at the most expensive one, just a glass of normal water would cost them several hundred paiso.

Which is the currency used on the Zoratian planet, even the other races use the same currency to make all the trades easier.

Though some use different currencies which don’t have good relations with other races.

“Oh haha yes yes let’s go there, I will tell you everything I know, so I was a baby when I was born and my mother was surprisingly a woman, my father however wasn’t able to survive the delivery and died, well his job was dangerous as he used to deliver messages to other races…” the green hat guy began to speak.

The three entered the luxurious hotel, very few seats were occupied inside, everything was so expensive that barely any people came here.

Even the rich cannot often eat there, unless they are one of the richest people in the entire human territory.

“Hello sir, did you book a table in advance?” a beautiful woman quickly approached the three, the woman instantly enchanted the two men.

“No, but give us the best table you have.” Neil said, his voice authoritative, making the woman wonder just how rich this young guy must be.

“Uh haha my young friend there is no need for that, you don’t need to spend so much on us.” the blue hat guy said, feeling a bit guilty.

“Shut up, how dare you try to break our host’s feeling, young friend you are free to do as you please.” the green hat guy said.

The woman led them to the most expensive table and soon took the order.

Then the food was served by several beautiful waitresses, each of the dishes was so expensive that several houses could be built in the settlement.

And Neil didn’t hold back in ordering, he ordered over twenty things and the most expensive ones just for himself.

The green hat guy didn’t hold back either, since Neil was so rich so he decided to be shameless while the blue hat guy didn’t order much.

He was already feeling terribly guilty and decided to pay for his own food.

Green continued to talk for over half an hour, the time it took for them to finish everything, and now dozens of empty plates lay over the table.

Neil was done eating while the two guys were busy finishing the dishes, although Blue felt guilty he still ate several expensive dishes.

“I will go pay the bill, just shout yes when I tell them that you are with me.” Neil spoke, as he stood up.

The food here was not bad but couldn’t be compared to the one from the kitchen in his domain, still it was free so he had no complaints.

Neil walked up to the counter and spoke: “I will be leaving and those guys will be paying our combined bills.”

Then Neil turned and called out: “Right?”

“YES YES”

“WE ARE TOGETHER!!”

Both of them quickly shouted, they were very happy, who knows if ever in their lifetime they would be able to eat something like that again.

“Alright sir, would you like to take something along?” the woman asked with a big smile.

For such a big purchase she was definitely going to get a big bonus.

“Hmm” Neil looked back at the two and nodded: “Yes give me all these wines, they will be paying for it as well.”

“Ah omg right away sir, give me a minute!!” the woman spoke happily, all these wines combined were even more expensive than their whole bill.

She quickly arranged things and handed them all to Neil then asked: “Would you like us to deliver them somewhere?”

“No need.” shaking his head, Neil stored them all in his spatial storage.

Seeing this, the woman and the two guys were all surprised and awed, he really is a rich guy.

“Look he bought so many wines, maybe we should get a few from him.” Green said as he hurriedly rose to his feet.

“Uh I think we have taken enough…” Blue said, but he would also like to taste those expensive wines.

So the two guys quickly ran after Neil who was already near the exit.

“Wait sir, haha I think you forgot to pay, you can do that here. How would you like to pay?” the woman asked in a friendly manner.

These guys were rich so she was treating them with respect.

“H- Huh? What bill? Didn’t he already pay for us? What do you even mean?” Green was taken aback.

“No sir, he didn’t pay, didn’t you say you’ll pay for all three of you earlier? Please pay up.” the woman spoke though her brow twitched slightly.
