Chapter 96 - Im Interested In Your... (1/2)

”Aren't you going to ask me why I was looking for you?” Hecathe asked as he crouched down and looked up to see her face.

When he saw her face, he was a hundred percent sure that she was terrified of him since she actually looked as if she had seen a ghost.

”S-sir... I'm really sorry. Please forgive me,” The girl apologized once again and Hecathe sighed as he stood up and patted her head.

”I keep telling you that your 'sorry' is useless to me,” Hecathe clicked his tongue as he spoke, ”What I am interested in is your powers.”

”Eh...?” It took the girl a whole minute to respond in confusion and shock, but even after repeating Hecathe's words in her mind, she was still unable to understand what he was trying to say.

Hecathe smiled as he saw the girl finally lifting her head to look up at him, ”Do you want me to repeat myself? I said I'm interested in your ability. I'm a member of the golden fire guild. Would you like to discuss your ability after this?”

The girl gulped as she looked at him blankly.

A whole minute passed and she opened her mouth to give him a response, however, her eyes widened as she noticed something behind Hecathe and immediately changed her words as she tried to warn the man, ”Sir, look out!”

Hecathe smiled thinly as he heard this and even before the girl had shouted the warning, he had already blocked the chair leg as he grasped onto it tightly.

The man didn't even bother turning around as he kept his eyes on the girl and asked once again, ”Would you like to come to our guild?”

The old man who had tried to attack Hecathe by surprise got himself in a sticky situation as Hecathe easily blocked his blow and from the calm demeanor that Hecathe showed, the old man was sure that they were not dealing with just any normal hunter here.

So the first thing that the old man tried to do was run away, even being ready to abandon his partner who was still suffering on the ground, however, the man's plan to run away failed almost immediately as he was stopped by the gambling monkey who smirked as he looked at the old man and spoke, ”You dare lie to me and trick me? Give me back my ring before you go, old pig!”

The man naturally didn't listen to him and compared to Hecathe, this stupid monkey looked to be easier to beat, and hence the old man tried to get out of here through a fight, however, before he could attack the monkey, the monkey attacked first and knocked him out with a punch.

”Ignore them and answer me,” Hecathe smiled as he spoke, looking at the girl expectantly.

The girl gulped as she nodded her head ever so slightly and finally replied, ”I'll be there.”

The man had just offered her a guild invitation and such things were not easy to get. Guilds only took in members through their official forms and unless a mage had a high rank in the guild, he or she would not be casually able to recommend any random person that they had met on the street.

Looking at Hecathe's confidence and considering the fact that the man was casually inviting her to the guild made the girl think that Hecathe was a high-ranking mage from the golden fire guild.
