Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 23: Delivering slaves

'What a fine morning!' With a yawn, Nix rose from his bed.

The first thing he sought was his sword. He also took the Gauntlet which he threw in his inventory during the siege and wore it just to be cautious.

He got ready to leave and approached the receptionist and placed the keys

The receptionist rose from her place and quietly eyed him. Nix understood the meaning of her gaze so he flung few coins in anger to her table in anger and started walking out.

'My first job here... I wonder what will happen.'

With a troubled feeling, he walked to the pretty lady's pub which was just as lively as yesterday.

As He walked in. He saw Loganathan who was with three women. And all the three of them were giving out bad Vibes. Nix walked towards them while they were scanning Nix from up to down which made him feel uncomfortable.

'If there was a job for me to do alone it would be fine.'

Thinking inwardly he joined the table where Loganathan and his squad members were.

Loganathan gave Nix a slight smile and opened his mouth.

"Welcome Shall we start moving Nix?"

"Remember, we can't undo the deal. You know how devils ask for sacrifices and extra offerings to erase a deal right?"

'What? devils? sacrifices? Offerings? what's up with this? I don't know a thing... I have to learn a lot it seems.'

Nix nodded his head in agreement with him.

Loganathan smiled "Then let's get going."

He then turned to his team members and started introducing them. First, he turned to a dark-skinned tall amazon woman she was wearing chain mail and there was a mace in her hand. She looked like an aggressive person at first glance.

"This is Trixy level 3 warrior and this is"

He turned to the next woman.

"Hannah level 3 Mage"

Now this woman was giving out a cold pressure around she looked like a quiet person. She had loose glossy red hair and pale white skin and she was in a mage attire how a mage would dress and she had a staff in her hand.

"And finally Anilika a level 3 Warrior"

Now this woman was looking beautiful but a bit rugged judging by her attire, It was easily guessable that she is a warrior. She seemed like an arrogant person and She had her tied black hair tied up.

Nix smiled and greeted them all.

"It's nice to meet you"

" "

There wasn't a reaction from them suddenly Anilika opened her mouth.

"Tsk, what's up with this? Are you going to explain or Not? This is pathetic, Look at him. He looks like a complete newbie straight out of transmigration," She bombarded question after question to Loganathan. 

Nix got annoyed and intervened in her talk.

"Ms. Anilika does it have anything to with you? I am not here to argue or hinder your business. I am here for a job and I do it that's it. If I get killed that's the end of it. It's not like you are going to help a random guy."

Loganathan Let out a sigh and started talking staring at her.

"Just like I said before He is Nix a level 2 Warrior. And please restrain yourself from causing unnecessary arguments. We are doing a job that's it..."

and added

"Okay now that the introduction is over let's go and pick up the goods."

They all started walking to pick up the goods. The women and Loganathan were fully engaged in some kind of conversation while walking but Nix didn't get himself into their conversation. They entered a street where slaves were at.

After that, they went behind a big building and took cover there. There were many carriages that looked like a cage and inside it, there were many Racial beings chained and caged inside it

Nix started to become uncomfortable.

'Slaves are the goods that need to be delivered?'

And his doubt was right. Loganathan walked towards a man, had a conversation and got a document, and then got near the carriage which had two young men who had wings and scales reminiscent of a Dragon and there was one Female elf in it. They looked like they didn't have a will to live and their clothes looked untidy and torn and they had several injuries and bruises on them and their necks and hands were chained.

They were gazing at Nix and everyone in pure hatred like seeing the world's ugliest thing. Nix averted his eyes away from them.

Everyone got in the carriage which had the cage attached to it. And there were three two-headed creatures which were used in the carriage when he was escorted out of the Ranrak was tied with it.

Anilika opened her mouth seeing Nix's facial reaction.

"tsk, oi! you know to drive the krigons right?"

'So these are called as krigons"

"No"

"Tsk useless" she scowled at Nix.

" "

He didn't want to cause any ruckus so he stayed silent.

Loganathan walked towards the team and started talking.

"We will be traveling for twelve days using the carriage. Our destination is one of the small cities named Sagarame. Nix according to your deal. You can't back down now after seeing the goods or leaving the team feeling it's a small pay for traveling twelve days or you will see the consequence of your actions." Loganathan finished his instruction with a smile. But, somehow his smile gave out chills to Nix and his senses alarmed him badly.

Everyone got on the carriage and Loganathan took the leash for controlling the leash while the three women sat inside the carriage since Nix felt uncomfortable with them so he just got out and sat out of the carriage while Loganathan was in the driving seat.

"Okay everyone we will be starting from here!"

Loganathan beat the Krigons with the Leash.

"Kyrrraaak"

With a scream, the Krigons started moving.
