Vengeance of the Returner

"But is just a gold coin enough for you? I mean you saved my life, but you are just asking for a gold coin."

" "

Nix gazed at her waiting for her answer.

With a sigh, she started speaking with an innocent smile.

"You Regulars and Outlaws seriously don't know the struggles of Residents. Firstly I am a Janitor in a healing center, so my Monthly salary is 200 copper coins so I asked for One Gold coin. If you Don't mind, can I talk in more detail?"

"Yes please"

"Okay so, One gold coin is equal to 500 silver coins and one silver Coin is equal to 1000 Copper coins so, It will be enough for us slum people to Live with a gold coin for months without starving or working like a dog to earn just a few copper coins. Now you understand the value I Think?"

Nix blinked his eyes like his mind went blank for a second because he didn't know that a single coin had so much value for her because he didn't work hard or earn it by his own struggles. He just got it slipped into his pocket just like that in an instant.

"I am sorry I am new here and I don't know about the economy or how things work here."

"It's Okay. I can guess just by your reaction that you are new to this place anyway. You Outsiders don't know the sufferings of the people, we natives of Empyrean had to suffer because of the change in the economy. You Outsiders can easily earn much better than the normal residents. We are not someone extraordinary. Sorry I am complaining and blabbering all this to you like an idiot."

"It's Okay hearing you is the least I can do for the help you have done You helped me even though you know that I am an Outlaw right?. Oh, I forgot, are you the one who healed my wounds?" He checked his washed clothes and added "And who changed my clothes?"

Malini Blushingly started speaking.

"It's me and I am sorry as you see my situation. I wasn't able to afford the treatment, so I did it myself. If I took you to a healing center you would have been healed and became conscious by a single day but I saw your tattoo and decided to heal you myself."

With a smile, she continued to talk.

"since I saw some people Healing others in the healing center and I have practiced the healing methods I saw. You know! even though it's not much I did as much as I could!"She said cheerfully like a kid with sparkling eyes.

"Thank you so much I owe you a lot"

"No No It's not like I don't get any profit because I get a gold coin for the help! and it's enough for me!" She spoke cheerfully while her eyes were sparkling. She eagerly waited for him to give her the gold coin.

'hmm'

Nix smiled and thought that was cute.

"Yes as you say here is your gold coin."

"Ya hoo!"

She Smiled and sounded joyful while tossing the coin and playing with it like a kid. Now he had one gold coin left.

'Let's see her information.'

Nix wasn't able to say anything he was dumbstruck as he saw her information. His Jaw literally dropped upon seeing her private ability with question marks with S+Rank.

'Who is she? To think she has a title and her class is unknown But, suffering? her particularities suits her, though. I can't help her now, I don't want to repeat the same mistake because I am a weakling. First I need to become strong enough to fight back. Only after that can I at least think about protecting others. Since I Owe her for saving my life I will help her after becoming stronger. Gods huh? If They were really Gods why would they stir problems? I will eat the monsters here and level up. Who needs those gods' mercy? I will level up!'

He clenched his hands while thinking about how helpless he was when he got in the siege. He replayed the situation he was in. When he tried to fight the Outlaws and every other person there.

[You weakling! Trying to act all mighty aren't you. Get ready to be punished. You will wish that you died in an instant. You will beg for mercy you cunt!]

He remembered the words of a man who spat on his face clearly as his distinct image entered his mind.

[hahaha, trying to stand up huh? Brat!]

He shook his head to get his brain to stop replaying the same scenario where he got mocked and the innocent people were massacred by those barbarians who don't have laws or rules. His blood started to boil while his eye showed rage. He managed to survive all these incidents because of the help of that merging process back in the Kalinga forest.

Nix opened his mouth to continue the conversation they had and spoke in a calm voice.

"Well, I guess I have to leave now."

"No, You can't, you have to rest to heal and restore your strength."

"I can't get you in trouble more than this, can I get some cloth to conceal my appearance."

"Uhmmm is it okay even if it's torn? Hmm, It's not like it's torn. It just has some holes in it."

"Yes, It's okay. I promise you when I come back I will Repay and If you don't mind will you join me as a member of my company or team if I ever make one? I Promise I will help you with everything I can."

"Uhm I- I-I will think about It later Nix," She said.

"I have another request, Malini."

"What is it?"

"What happened after I fell unconscious and where can I go after leaving this city?"

"Firstly you were unconscious for a week and second there are several cities for outlaws and the one close to Ranrak is eight Days away if you go by walk. The Outlaw city Barani can be reached more quickly. If you go by a carriage you will reach there within 1 and a half-day and by portals, you can get there in an instant but under your circumstances, you can't afford it now."

'It's been a week, will Reegan be waiting for me?'

"Thank you for the information I will leave now and thank you for taking care of me and please remember my proposal in mind."

"Y-y-yes" she replied while stammering a bit.

Nix took the black cloak and concealed his face by wrapping it around his face and fully closed his body with it and used it as a hoodie. The cloak was rugged and old with many holes on it.

"See you again bye-bye"

He left her house and bid farewell waving his hand.

When he walked through the streets. He Found it busy rather than being dull after the siege. Many people walked here and there and the city was a lot more populated than he expected. People were acting like the siege didn't even happen.

The buildings looked colorful and the burned buildings all looked like newly renovated buildings. The shops and the people were busy and it was opposite to what Nix expected. He thought that the burned buildings and the people will be dull.

'What's with these people?' with a doubt he kept walking, lowering his dead to keep himself undetectable by hiding his face with his hoodies.

He turned his gaze towards a shop that looked like the same local tea shops when he lived on earth. Where young men would often group up to drink tea and have a chat like it was a place to meet up. All the men from office workers to students to retired men they all mostly would spend their time reading news, having a chat, etc...contemporary romance

'So, These people brought those same traditions back here too ?'

He thought to himself remembering back his peaceful life on earth he smiled inwardly.

He gazed at the shop's wall which had highlights and main events or important news placed on it. He was shocked when he read the news because it mentioned that the Outlaw Commander Waltner and only five other outlaws escaped from the city while all the other outlaws were subjugated and some were taken as prisoners.

Nix didn't get shocked because of those things he was shocked when he saw his name on it. He was mentioned as a mastermind that sketched up the siege and the Title of the highlighted news was 'The Mastermind of chaos'.

'Ahh, These people, what did I even do to them?'

Nix sighed and just let it pass since he was getting used to it now. He was getting framed for a crime he didn't even commit, and he didn't feel sad nor remorseful all he felt was emptiness and anger.

Nix gritted his teeth

'Well, I guess No helping it then' Nix's lips curled up ' You will beg for mercy King of Ranrak !'With resolve, he lowered his head and walked towards the border of the city.
