Hero of Darkness

Chapter 17: The Ambush

The entire hall of adventurers association had pin drop silence.

"You.." the blonde guy got up and charged with his sword pointed towards Kahn's abdomen.

Kahn quickly sidestepped and sent out a punch in the guy's abdomen instead. His reaction time and the attack were very fast, many couldn't even see it properly.

Bang!

The sound of metal and floor colliding rang.

The blonde man lied on the floor five meters away from Kahn. That one punch alone was enough to fling him back.

The blonde guy got up, his body trembling and barely managed to stand up. He looked towards his armor and saw a big fist-like dent that was caved in.

This punch would've put him close to death if not for the metal armor.

"Just you wait here! I'll see if you can stand on your feet after I'm back!" said the blonde guy and ran out embarrassingly.

"That wasn't very wise, young man. He's the younger brother of the leader of Groundhog Adventurer's team. They're very powerful and barely 2 other teams can rival them. This guy won't let this incident go. It's better if you leave now."

Said the old receptionist with concern on his face.

"What about the registration?" Kahn asked as if what happened just now didn't bother him.

"Come some other day. It's not safe for you to be here any longer. We can't protect you as soon as you leave the premises of the association. It's better to get a head start and hide." said the old receptionist.

"Do me a favor, at least give me some money for these. I don't have a single coin on me." said Kahn and passed over half a dozen red monster cores to the old man.

Understanding his situation, the old receptionist didn't preach about rules. He too liked Kahn for standing up against the blonde princess guy who was badmouthing them both. He quickly took out a pouch with dozens of coins in them and passed them to Kahn.

"Go find some inn or guest house to stay out of trouble. They won't go searching around through the entire city just for one person." said the old receptionist.

"Thanks." said Kahn as he grabbed the pouch and left the building.

He didn't think about waiting for Nikola & Elanev as this incident wouldn't bring anything good to the Father & Son duo. They were honest merchants after all.

After watching the old receptionist and people across the hall, Kahn got the hint that he had picked up a fight with someone he shouldn't have messed with just by the expression of the people present there.
