With the thought that the two women were nothing but fools who were jealous of Marion and wanted to get rid of her, the people there tried to squeeze out everything they had.
The retaliatory attack, initiated by Bellena's return to confidence, makes them more vigilant. Seeing Ashley's quick movements and the calmness of her expression, they understood that the girl was not an amateur.
Ashley tries not to kill anyone, so as not to provoke them more than necessary.
The woman then walked back to Bellena's side after picking up the knife she threw. They tried to keep their distance from him after seeing that short stunt.
These people are used to this kind of thing. But because they are too used to it, their instincts work well. Regardless of what abilities the woman possessed, they just felt like they were seeing something bigger and ferocious at the aura that Ashley was emitting.
After that brief incident, their minds had been slightly enlightened. The man who had just seen from the counter table had also started to become interested in the blonde woman. Bellena then continued their affairs.
"Total 500 coins for the life of Marion Midgraff. I'll take 100 as compensation. Agreed?"
It is unclear who took from whom, and who needs compensation from whom. In essence, a total of 500 gold coins yes or no.
The people affected by Ashley's attack returned to their positions while enduring the pain. They no longer ask for more and feel enough with the money offered.
"May I ask you one thing? You have someone like him, why hire someone else?"
"The color of cave work is more difficult, imbecile." Ashley replied without waiting for Bellena.
"You're scared of the risk, now?" Bellena asked the man.
"Haha, risk is part of our lives. Just anticipate if this is a trap."
"That's ridiculous. Rather than giving you money to frame you, I'd better frame Marion, right?" Bellena answered trying to deny their assumptions.
The man laughed at Bellena's reasonable reply.
"Then what do you want the mission to be carried out?"
"Give that to you. You guys know better. All I want is Marion's death."
Bellena then shared information about Marion going outside the Lozan region in the next few days with them. Information about the location he was about to pass, and the two people who would accompany him, his personal servant and a knight.
As Bellena explained it, Ashley's eyes were watching everyone who wasn't in the crowd. The ones who looked uninterested in Bellena's negotiations. As his eyes traced every corner of the room, his gaze met with one of the men sitting by the window.
A banggo!
Ashley found the person she was looking for. They could understand each other just from that gaze. One who is aware of his trickery and knows what the woman is looking for. He even knew that Ashley was the real leader among them. That's the one who's gonna accept Ashley's real mission.
Ashley said she was going to the bathroom, and Bellena nodded her head.
"You sure you want to leave your non alone?"
Bellena was a little sorry for nodding just like that. He almost called his nona to come back but did not dare.
"I won't try if I were you. You think the cave wants to follow people who don't have the ability?" He answered as he walked away from them.
After hearing Ashley's words. They were silent for a moment, then continued their conversation. This time, they became even more cautious while talking to Bellena.
Seeing Ashley walking towards the toilet, the man who was sitting by the window then got up from his chair and went to follow her. There was only one toilet there, it was pretty clear where they would meet
"Although a stranger but your Durman language is pretty good." Said the man from the toilet.
Likely, everyone there assumed that Ashley was a stranger because of her slightly different way of speaking and she also used a foreign language that they did not understand. However, the person who was listening to their conversation secretly was able to understand Ashley's words in English.
"So?" The man asked Ashley the real plan.
"Lo just needs to monitor them. How strong are the people who went with Marion. Success or failure to kill Marion, cave ga ga ga don't care. Report to the cave if anyone is backing up Marion."
"Check?"
"...help."
"Oh. Okay." Okay."
Only test. These were all plans to test Marion's allies. To lure them out and test their abilities as well as test how strong the knight Vincent gave. The people Bellena is now collecting are Ashley's guinea pigs.
"The bells are here next week. The cave also wrote the clock. You have 30 minutes or the cave fails."
"1000 make your report."
The offer he gave was very tempting. As a down payment, Ashley gave her a jewel necklace with a sale value of about 180 gold coins. The only necklace she had set aside while selling all of Ashelia's jewelry.
"It's a cave family derivative. If you take it to the cave again, the cave is bonus 200."
The man looked at the jewel carefully. He used to sell jewelry that he got from his booty. Just by looking at it, he knew the necklace was indeed worth a high sale.
After agreeing to their agreement, the man was about to leave first but was eventually arrested by Ashley. The woman felt that someone was standing at the door.
Ashley opened the door suddenly and kicked him from the inside. The man was able to avoid Ashley's kick in time, but the woman's hand immediately grabbed her coat and pulled it.
"Wait first! What's my fault!?"
Ashley stopped after hearing the man's words.
"I just want to go to the toilet."
His expression looked like one who had suddenly been made a murder suspect. Ashley doesn't want anyone else to know her plan, but the man may have just arrived. Killing someone here is not a good idea either.
Ashley then let go and left. The man who made a pact with her felt a little amazed. He also returned to his seat with a feeling of pleasure because it got an easy mission with abundant pay.
A sense of pleasure also enveloped the man Ashley had released. Once again, Ashley made him kagun. Not only her ability, her way of thinking, but her instincts were also good. Only, Ashley failed to catch the man because of things she had to consider.
Sitting in front of the toilet entrance, the man covered his face with his hands, unable to hold back a glaring smile. Never did he feel so attracted to a woman that he made her tremble because he was so happy.
Brushed her dark brown hair back. Staring at the dim light above him, he thought.
"Marion Midgraf? Why Midgraff?"
