Chapter 138 - Fame? No Thanks. (1)

As Ashton was expecting, the reinforcements arrived a few minutes later. Most of them were level 15 while a couple were at level 20 among the dozen people who showed up there. They probably wanted to take credit for killing the gorillan because when they saw the beast was lying lifeless there, their faces fell.

But that did not stop some of those greedy b.a.s.t.a.r.ds to try and salvage some materials from the gorillan. After all, despite having somewhat low levels, these creatures were quite rare and their bones and fur could fetch a high price.

However, before they could put their plan into action, Seven got back up and all of them immediately stopped. After all, none of them was neither brave nor foolish enough to anger a royal knight.

"The h.e.l.l do you think you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are doing?"

"N-Nothing! We were just checking to see whether the monster was still alive or not." One of the adventurer's squealed before hastily backing away.

Although Seven was still a bit confused as to what had happened before he collapsed, he had more important things to take care of. Like protecting the monster's corpse from getting defiled by these punks.

"These corpse belongs to the partic.i.p.ants of the raid. All of you please back off." Seven yelled back at them and surprisingly they obeyed his command.

'Looks like getting on the king's side was beneficial after all.' Ashton was silently observing everything from the sidelines, 'Looking at the difference of how these fckers were behaving before and now, they must be afraid of offending a royal knight. Should I try to bully these people after I become one as well? It would be fun but nah... too much fun isn't good for my health.'

"Where is he?" Ashton heard Renee's voice coming from the mob of adventurers, "Have you seen a white-haired kid?"

Ashton could hear her because of his perception when in reality, both of them were quite far away. Also, Ashton was not in the mood for a meet and greet session so he was hoping she wouldn't spot him. But one should never underestimate the eyesight of an archer.

A moment later she already spotted Ashton and raced towards him, while Fae barely managed to keep up to her speed. As he saw Renee rushing towards him, he tried to calmly stop her, but it seemed she had a different idea as she pulled him in for a hug into the vastness of her cleavage.

"The heck!" Ashton heard someone exclaim.

"Lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d..." Yet another one chimed in.

"Maybe I should try finding another Gorillan..."

Ashton could feel the jealous eyes of the adventurers on him as Renee kept pulling him deep and deep into the valley of snu snu. Ashton could have easily pulled away if he wanted to. But since this was the first time he had a 'direct' non-aggressive contact with a female, he didn't know how to react to the softness of Renee's skin around his face.

Seven thought of intervening, but then changed his mind at the last second. Ashton had killed the Gorillan all by himself and it would be unfair if he didn't get some sort of reward for it, right?

"Renee, that's enough! Don't forget he's technically royalty!" Fae retorted, probably because she was not as endowed as Renee was in a certain department.

"Oh, my apologies! I got carried away!" Renee pulled back and immediately bowed before Ashton... but in doing so, she accidentally ended up headb.u.t.ting his nose instead, "Fck! I'm sorry again!"

"Ish phine," Ashton somehow managed to get that out while covering his nose to stop the blood.

Although everyone had seen why Ashton's nose was bleeding, they could help but get suspicious that there was an entirely different reason for his nosebleed. This time, Seven intervened. Pulling a boy in cleavage and breaking his nose were two different things.

But Ashton gestured him to stop before Seven ended up doing something unnecessary.

"Lay back and let me take a look at it," Fae instructed Ashton who complied with the request.

A moment later Ashton's nose was fixed but he learned a valuable lesson that day. Women were very dangerous. Especially a woman like Renee. It was better if he stayed further away from her for the moment as he did not want his face to get restructured by her steel-like forehead...

Once he was all healed up, thanks to Fae, the girls respectfully apologised and thanked him for saving their lives. If he had not attacked the gorillan when he did, they would have certainly perished. They wanted to repay his kindness with anything he wanted but Ashton refused.

Probably because his intentions behind going after the gorillan weren't n.o.ble or some s.h.i.t as these people were thinking. He did not save them or told them to leave out of goodwill. He simply wanted to all-out against the night creature and for that he needed them out of his sight.

After all, in the event they got to know about his secret, he would not have hesitated even for a second before killing them himself. And that would not have been 'n.o.ble' of him, would it?

But as usual, people were making him out to be a 'hero' for something he only did to fulfil his desire of levelling up and getting a cla.s.s. Still, he couldn't simply tell them that now could he? Thankfully, Seven intervened before things could get out of hand again.

"I think we should head back to the guild to get the rewards and file a report. I think the a.s.sistant manager would be really interested in knowing how the gorillan died." Seven said with an enigmatic look, "But the rest of these people would have to stay back. After all, gorillans always move in pairs. They'd need to look out for his mate, the queen."

"Yeah. Let's get going. The travel portal should not be far from here.." Ashton agreed and the four of them left for the guild.
