Hero of Darkness

Chapter 36: The Future Plan

Kahn looked at the redhead girl in front of him and let out a small chuckle as he noticed a red tinge on the girl's face.

"Well, I seem to have a habit of saving you whenever you are close to death. But don't count on it, or you'll end up dying at this rate." Kahn said and gave a small grin.

"By the way, what were you doing with the Scarlet Lion adventurer team? Weren't you part of another team?" Kahn asked as he remembered the details of that day very accurately.

"The group disbanded after that incident. Markus took out all the remaining funds we had and gave them to the families of all of our dead comrades.. And nobody felt like carrying on any longer. We lost a lot of good people that day. People who were no different than family." said the girl as sadness welled up in her heart and her tone turned heavy.

"I see. But why were you in the dungeon then?" asked Kahn curiously.

"I needed the money. I have already spent all the money I had and needed work. So I joined the expedition when they were hiring. It wasn't like it was my first time going in a dungeon.. Just that those bastards never told us that we were going to hunt for the Floor Boss." the girl sighed.

"Only if I knew, I wouldn't have joined no matter what." said the redhead and laid back on the bed, her exhaustion kicking in again.

"I understand. Well, I hope I won't have to save you again from another ambush anytime soon. Take rest. I need to go now." said Kahn and decided to leave.

"Hey, you haven't even told me your name yet." said the redhead.

"I'm Kahn. No last name." said Kahn as he replied.

"Jessica Artwinger." said the redhead girl.

"The next time you decide to do something dangerous.. I'll kill you myself." said Kahn and laughed off.

"Hahaha. Yeah, right. I don't think I'll continue this business anymore either." said Jessica as she chuckled in response.

"See you around." said Kahn and left the clinic. He had already paid for her so they'll take care of Jessica till she recovers. This was probably the first good deed Kahn had done ever since he came to this world.

"Kahn, huh.." spoke Jessica to herself as an expression full of gratitude appeared on her face.

Kahn went into a dark alley and after walking across numerous blocks and various streets, he finally stopped in front of a small bar in the corner of a small street.

There was only a bartender and two more people. One appeared to be a customer and one another seemed to be the guard.

Kahn took his hood out and sat on the counter.

"The sun brightens up my day." said Kahn

"But the night soothes my soul." replied the bartender.

This was a code word in between those who came to do peculiar business at this bar. Suddenly, the bartender signaled both the customer and the guard. All 3 people left the bar and Kahn was sitting alone at the counter.

Suddenly, Kahn felt a slight tinge on his back and gave a small smile.

"Still carrying the training, I see." said Kahn and looked towards his back.

A slim hooded figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The masked figure was someone Kahn knew.
