Chapter 191 - Evil Red Wings (2/2)
”Why does it seem like everyone hates the red wings so much?”
”That's because…” But before Gorden could even finish his answer, the door to the guildhall had been kicked wide open.
”Alright everyone it's time to pay up today's protection money!” A scrawny man with missing a missing tooth came through the door and behind him where four other men.
Everyone in the room suddenly went silent. The group that had just entered started to go around the room with a metal bucket. Either coin or beast crystals were placed into the metal bucket. There were no questions asked and everyone complied almost instantly.
The men then spotted Ray and the others and quickly came over.
”Oh, I've never seen you three here before.”
”These three are from out of town.” Gorden said nervously, ”Surely you will let them off?”
”Rules are rules, everyone must pay.” The man said.
It had only been a few months since Ray had last visited the town but it seemed like a lot had changed. There was no guard, the Quest bored was nearly empty and everyone was obeying these weak sc.u.ms in front of him.
The man held out the bucket and started to shake it in front of them.
”Please I beg you three, for the sake of this town please pay the cost, it is only a silver coin surely you can afford that?” Gorden said.
Gary then looked into the bucket and saw all the coins and beast cores.
”Hey Ray, do you think we can keep this?”
”I don't see why not.”
Gary then instead of putting something in the bucket, reached in and pulled out an intermediate beast core.
”Maybe I can turn this into a chest piece for myself,” Gary said giggling to himself.
”What do you think you are doing! Stealing from us!” The man shouted.
Immediately the four men behind him pulled out their swords.
”Don't you know who we are!” The man then pulled up his sleeve to reveal a red mark of a dragon head. It looked similar to the one Ray had given the Red wings members but slightly different as if someone had only described what it looked like to them.
”If you don't put back that crystal and pay double the fee, we will send an army to this town and slaughter you all. We took down Avrion, do you really think the Red wings can't deal with a bunch of kids like you!”
”Ray, do you see that?” Gary said.
”Yeah, their imposters.”
The man took a step back after hearing them say those words but quickly stepped forward again.
”Who are you calling imposters.”
Then Gary and Jack lifted their sleeves, to reveal the true mark of the Red wings.
