Chapter 19: Ellas Bounty Canceled (1/2)

Aleshia walked down the merchant district and headed towards the Adventurer Guild. She opened the door and she was immediately observed by almost all of the people inside. They were all a little bit mesmerized by her beauty. It was rare to see beautiful women inside the adventurer guild except for the receptionists.

”Good afternoon, Customer.”

The receptionist behind the desk smiled at her. She was another big-breasted Big Sister; different from the one that served Lawrend before. This type of woman was the woman that adventurers liked so the Adventurer Guild employed many of them to keep the men in check.

”I would like to cancel this bounty.”

Aleshia pushed the piece of paper Lawrend gave her towards the receptionist. The receptionist looked at it and raised an eyebrow.

”Oya? Isn't this Mr. Lawrend's Alive Bounty?”

The receptionist was aware of the big bounties that were set in the adventurer guild. There's no way she could mistake something this major.

”He gave it to me.”

Aleshia replied without any emotion. She was too eager to cancel the bounty on her little sister's head to care about anything else.

”Hmm… I guess I can't really stop you. As per the rules of the contract: Anyone who holds this original copy of the contract may cancel it. I'll go get our copy.”

The receptionist walked towards the back and entered a room. She walked back out bringing with her another piece of paper. It was exactly similar to the one that Aleshia just gave her.

”Everyone, be the witness!”

The receptionist caught everyone's attention before ripping both of the contracts in half right before their eyes.

”With that, this contract is now invalid.”

The receptionist smiled at Aleshia. She murmured a chant and a magical flame soared on her hands. It burned the contract papers to ashes.

”Do you need anything else?”

The receptionist asked with the same smile. Everything happened so fast and smooth that Aleshia felt that she was dreaming.

”No.”

Aleshia left the Adventurer Guild with a smile. Her little sister can now live once again in peace. No bounty hunters would hunt her and going out would not be a problem.

Meanwhile, inside the Adventurer Guild. A burly man walked towards the receptionist with anger.

”Jane, what about us bounty hunters?”

This burly man was one of the bounty hunters in the guild. He was still researching this little girl in the poster but it was canceled just right before his eyes. He couldn't help but become angry because of it. He used his hard-earned money to start researching into the background of this little girl yet he would get nothing now.

”I'm sorry, but our policy says that the bounty hunters are on their own. If they could complete the bounty then they could take the reward but if the bounty was taken by someone else or canceled, it will not be our fault that they were incompetent.”

Jane replied back with a professional smile hanging on her face.

”Geh! At least give me compensation!”

The bounty hunter was not willing to leave without any compensation. He stood in front of Jane with anger.

”If you think that you could scare me, be my guest.”
