I Just want a Peaceful life

Angus frowned as he read the information in the paper. As the Bartender said, the paper only gives basic information about him, such as his birth date and address. Angus never hoped to find his own detailed information in the paper.

In fact, Angus only needs to find a clue inside this limited information. With his recent significant movement outside the kingdom, he knows he attracts a lot of people's hatred. Finding the one who put the bounty is like searching for a needle inside a haystack.

Given the complexity of the underground world, there is a huge chance Angus couldn't even find the right person who put the bounty. Still, he needed to do something and couldn't stay passive.

Since the Bloody Star organization protects and includes him on a non-target list, Angus wasn't surprised that they hid most of his information. However, as the biggest assassination organization, they couldn't ignore his high bounty for 'non-member' people.

Without Bloody Star's involvement, Angus knows most of the information on the paper should be provided by the broker or the 'client' itself. He intends to use this limited information to find some clue about this 'client'.

'Hmm… That's weird. The information includes my close relationship with Anna but not Jayna. Everyone in the capital city and noble circle should know about my close relationship with Jayna. Does it have something to do with Anna?' thought Angus inwardly.

Seeing Angus look at the information paper intently, "A little bit of advice, perhaps you may want to pass that one." said the Bartender.

"Hmm?" replied Angus shortly.

"Although the reward is huge, it is also quite a problematic task." replied the Bartender.

"How so?" asked Angus.

"Many parties are involved and there is a rumor that the target is strong. I heard not too long ago that many failed to finish the task." said the Bartender.

'Many parties involved?! Were the Bloody Star's members also involved in this matter?' thought Angus inwardly.

"Hoo… Interesting. Judging from your tone, the task is quite challenging. Will I get another reward for turning the bounty under the organization's name? Perhaps... a membership?" asked Angus.

"Then, I wish you all the best of luck." replied the Bartender nonchalantly.

"Hmm... I didn't know the organization cared about the non-member." replied Angus.

The Bartender glanced at Angus coldly before releasing a deep sigh.

"It is quite rare to find a person with high concealment skills these days. It would be a shame to bury such talent," said the Bartender.

Most assassins rely on the first sneak attack rather than a direct confrontation. Hence, they emphasize concealment skills for sneaking and infiltration. The experienced Bartender couldn't help but be amazed at Angus as he couldn't see through or even sense him.

'As expected, he didn't realize my identity. Considering all those spells and skills I used, it is even harder for me to detect myself. Still, this proves the bounty may have something to do with Anna or Bloody Star.'

"Alright, then." said Angus while returning the information paper.

"Come again." greeted the waitress as the Bartender silently nodded.

Just as Angus turns around and wants to leave the tavern, he notices a familiar troublemaker swiftly approaching him.

'Shit!! Why is she here?!!' said Angus.

"Daddy!! Anna found Daddy!!" Exclaimed Anna loudly while flying towards Angus.

Before Angus could escape through the teleport, Anna had already rushed to him, calling him loudly.

"Urgh… Anna." groaned Angus as his cover was blown up.

In the end, he could resign his fate and let the little troublemaker hug him. Angus knows the Bartender will recognize him since Anna only calls him Daddy.

Seeing the incoming Anna, the Bartender glances at the white batwing behind her back for a moment before staring back at the disguised Angus. As someone who has lived in the capital city for a long time, he is also familiar with the existence of the little monster Anna.

He often saw her creating a mess in the whole city along with the twin Gemini. Hearing Anna call his disguised customer Daddy, the quick-witted Bartender immediately recognizes Angus's identity.

"Hohoho… What a surprise." commented the Bartender behind him.

Ignoring the snickering Bartender behind Angus, "Anna, why are you here?" asked Angus while undoing his disguise.

"Anna is bored. Then, Anna found Daddy sneaking around. Daddy must secretly eat delicious food without Anna." replied Anna pouting.

"*Sigh* It's not like that Anna. Look, I am not eating anything here." said Angus helplessly.lights

"We provide some dessert for your enjoyment." stated the waitress from behind.

"Dessert?!! Anna wants dessert!!" exclaimed Anna excitedly.

Seeing the excited Anna, "Huft… Fine." said Angus helplessly.

He knows Anna will pester him if he doesn't give her the dessert. Angus didn't mind her childish behavior. Despite being spoiled, Angus knows Anna is unlike any other naughty child.

Instead, she is excellent at reading situations and knows when to play around. If it is a truly important or emergency situation, Anna will stay silent like a good, sensible child. But if the situation was not dangerous, like now, she would mess around without thought.

Although Anna breaks Angus' cover and forces him to stay longer in the Crimson Tavern, it is still not a grave situation that they need to run away for their life. At most, he will feel uncomfortable and grumble at the Bartender and waitress snickering.

Angus also realizes he doesn't like Bloody Star because it is a troublesome place that reminds him of his previous life. However, this doesn't mean he fears the Bloody Star itself.

In fact, with his current strength he didn't even fear seventh grade. He just feels trouble will come to him if he goes openly in this situation. In the end, Angus chose to sit back at the bar counter again while letting Anna sit beside him.

"Master Victory, perhaps it will be prudent to visit us without concealment next time. It will cost less gold." said the Bartender with a warm smile.

Although the Bartender said this, he didn't intend to return Angus's money. The previous cold aura disappears entirely as if he is only an ordinary amicable bartender.

"Alright, little girl. Which one do you want to choose? We have fruit parfait and various other milk ice." said the waitress while showing the menu.

"Anna is not a little girl. Anna is Anna. Hmmm… Everything looks delicious. Anna wants all" said Anna.

"Certainly, how about 'Daddy'?" asked the waitress after getting a nod from Angus.

"Just give me a hot chocolate." said Angus.

"Are you sure? If I am not wrong, you asked for strawberry parfait last time." the waitress teased the brooding Angus.

"Just a hot chocolate" replied Angus once again.

"Alright, then." said the waitress.

As they wait for their order, Angus takes care of the naughty Anna while talking with the Bartender.

"Since we are already like this, why don't you just give me a little information about the client?" asked Angus bluntly.

"Hohoho… That will be a breach of our policy." replied the Bartender.

"Fine. Then, how about I request another job to take care of this 'client'?" asked Angus.

"Well… It is possible, but I don't recommend it." replied the Bartender cryptically.

'That means the client has some connection with the Bloody Star and possibly is on their non-kill list, huh?' thought Angus inwardly.

Through Aunt Hersha, Angus knows more about the Bloody Star's strict rules and non-kill list. He wasn't surprised about such a thing since the organization in his past life also had the same thing.

Meanwhile, a huge commotion occurred in Angus' previous battle location. Few old dwarves flew in the air or meditated on the ground. *GROOARR* Occasionally, a giant Space Worm emerges from the ground before returning to the earth, leaving a dark ground tunnel.

From the tunnel, a few dwarves wearing their armor came out to observe the area. One of the oldest dwarves even touched the ground before meditating. The same scene could be seen all over the area.

At the same time, powerful coercion is also emitted from above the sky. The powerful figure wearing magical armor coldly looks at the dwarves from above. This person is none other than King Leon himself.

With Angus's early warning about the seventh-grade dwarves' arrival, King Leon decides to stay in the area to prevent these dwarves from creating trouble inside the kingdom.

As a powerful leader of a big nation, King Leon is already accustomed to the dwarf's stubborn personality and knows how to deal with it.

Rather than hindering them from inspecting the area and inciting a conflict, it's better to let the dwarves inspect the area and do them a favor. As a warrior race, the dwarf will never forget to repay the favor, no matter how small.

Still, this didn't mean King Leon could let them roam his kingdom without supervision. Each of these dwarves was powerful enough to cause significant damage to the kingdom, so King Leon still needed to take some precautions.

These master dwarves didn't mind being stalked, as they knew King Leon had already given a considerable concession by letting them inspect the area. In fact, most of them didn't care about such a thing and entirely focused on learning from the trace of Gaia's secret art.contemporary romance
