Chapter 350 - 350 No Pill For Regrets
An hour later and the group was finally settled in a magnificent inn called the Calm Turtle Tavern. There were many people in the place as drinks and food were served to their patrons.
It did not need telling that the talks were mostly about one person in the city.
The news about the carnage in the old family of Han was shared and rehashed into unbelievable proportions that the stories made our bored gamer look like a man with 3 heads and 6 arms.
This was certainly nothing new of course. The legend of extraordinary individuals in this xianxia world was mostly exaggerated to say the least.
Nevertheless, the tough looking group from afar has got ahold of this significant change in the city of Aurora.
"Go find someone reliable to give us some information on the recent events in the city." The leader ordered one of his men.
The leader's name was Yao Bing and he was one of the most infamous killers in the Yao Clan. He was known for his meticulous planning in this game of death.
It was easy to tell that he and his select picks of henchmen were here to exact revenge unto their fallen brethren Yao Ru. Blood must be paid with blood after all.
If not, the Yao Family's face would be ruined and they would become the laughing stock in Crester City should this fault find no answer at the earliest time possible.
"I hear you, master." One of the 5 goons replied and immediately stood up to find a good informer in the tavern. He returned 14 minutes later with a young man in tow.
Judging from the wide smile on the 25 year old boy's face, there was no doubt that he was promised great things for his cooperation.
"Good morning, masters! What kind of information do you need?"
"If it's about the recent rise of Master Clark Colter then you don't have to go far since i, Pei Kot, know everything about his mythical deeds in Aurora!" The young man boasted shamelessly.
"Take a seat then, Pei Kot. And tell us what you know about this Clark Colter." Yao Bing waved a gentle hand towards an empty seat at the table.
Although they were not here for this Clark Colter but that did not matter at all. With a powerful man like this person in Aurora, he would certainly get noticed by the families in Crester City.
One should know that Aurora was only 100 kilometers away from Crester.
They were neighbors and thus, there was a need to validate the origins of this mysterious man who has come out of nowhere.
Especially since Yao Bing has not heard of any Master Clark Colter in his long life.
"Thank you, master! It all started when our noble character Master Clark Colter has found the scourge hidden deep inside the lair of the Han Family.
Those wretched souls were sacrificing even their own kin and countless lots of other people in Aurora with the use of their dark magics in order to..."
"Many families have welcomed Master Clark for his heroic deeds and..."
"Myriad clans wanted to invite him to honor their home but Master Clark has only been to one other house in the city.
The Shi Clan! I hear that our hero and a beautiful woman called Shi Ling are in love!
But just like many others who have come before him, Master Clark has created himself a harem of his own!"
"Some rumors tell that Master Clark Colter spent the last 3 days doing nothing but fucking his women! HAHAHA! He is really a nice idol for men to imitate."
"I heard that he always had a prodigious appetite. There was a story that he could..." Pei Kot weaved his tales with vivid imagery and cunning presentation.
Even if they were mostly magnified in scale but Yao Bing has got what he wanted to know from this young innovative informer.
Pei Kot left with heavier pockets than when he entered the pristine floors of the tavern.
"A 1st Stage Innate Realm who can slay a 4th Stage Core Creation Realm as if they were mere chickens and dogs on the road."
"This is quite troublesome for us. To think that our target would have a strong support to rely on. Our luck is worse than shit right now." Yao Bing muttered after a while.
Although he could also do the same thing with his cultivation base of 10th Stage Core Creation Realm but the presence of strong treasures in the hands of this Master Clark Colter signified that his roots were absolutely not simple.
Thus, Yao Bing was having second thoughts on how to proceed from here on out.
"Contact the Deadly Stalker Guild in the city of Thorpes."
"Tell them that i have a job for them." Yao Bing finally decided after 20 minutes of deep thought.
In order to complete this quest, there was a need to find out how strong Master Clark Colter really was. And Yao Bing was not a fool to throw himself unto the hungry fires of uncertainty.
"But master, the price of getting the service of a Deadly Stalker killer is..." A goon said in worry.
Alas, he was not able to finish his words before a raised hand stopped him from stating his opinion.
"I know. The money is coming not from our own pockets. I shall let Elder Yao Tian shoulder the expenses." Yao Bing assured his men.
"You are really wise, Master!" The five people around Yao Bing showered him with praises.

One week passed and on a silent eve, a blinding sword light transformed this dark world into day.
The slash was so violent that it even wrecked a huge portion of the Ancestral Home of the Han.
This was of course due to our bored gamer's anger since he was disturbed by a nameless nosy assassin in the middle of his fucking sessions.
One could only imagine the surprise of his assailant who has already evaporated into nothing at this time. Alas, there was no pill for regrets left for him to take.
