The Bored Immortal

Chapter 355 The Adventurer’s Offer

”How stupid can Nahulle be? If only he didn’t get caught, that damn fruit would have already been in our hands. Now he was forced to give it to those bastards. Our king will definitely won’t let him off. You better not go near him for a while, Posuro,” One of the dark elves said in a tone of caution. It seemed like the king he was speaking of was in a very bad mood right now.

”Nahulle was already injured when he came here, and how could he have expected the—”

”Shh, don’t mention them here. I think we should discuss this somewhere else in case one of them is here. Let’s first get back to Nahulle and see if that poor idiot is doing well or not. There is only so long he can hide from our king.”

Viktor, who had been eavesdropping in on their conversation, looked at Seraphina, who also had been listening in on them, and looked at Viktor as well, indirectly asking him what they should do next now that the fruit didn’t seem to be in their hands any longer.

Viktor leaned closer, and Seraphina unconsciously tensed up her body but relaxed upon seeing that he wanted to whisper something in her ears.

”We still don’t know who their friend gave up the fruit to. So after they are done here, let’s follow them and see where that Nahulle is staying. After that, we will see,” Viktor whispered in her ear, making Seraphina look at him anxiously as she nodded.

She was now feeling even more worried since apparently the thief no longer had the Fruit of the Blessed One, and since its whereabouts remained unknown, she was feeling very tense. 

Within a month, the fruit would ripen, and then no matter who had it in their hands, they would definitely not be able to resist themselves from consuming it, and that would spark the beginning of disaster for her race.

Viktor could see that she was getting even more worried and held her gently as he looked at her and said, “Hey, don’t worry. I will get it back before it is too late.”

Even if things remained uncertain, Seraphina was unconsciously feeling confident in his words and felt a bit relieved as she softly smiled and nodded.

”Ahem, hope we are not interrupting you two love birds,” Suddenly, a gruff voice sounded from the side, and Viktor frowned slightly as he saw a bulky man in heavy red armor sit beside him while his other three friends also sat around the table with shady smiles.

Viktor recognized these four as adventurers and knew that they were bad news at first sight. 

”Brono, look at these two cute things. I now feel really bad for interrupting their couple time,” The pretty female adventurer chuckled while sizing Viktor up. She was wearing quite revealing clothes and purposefully pulled her top downwards to expose more of her breasts to get the attention of this cute and charming rabbit man, though Viktor was least interested in women like these.

”Verona, how can you say that? We are merely showing our appreciation for beautiful things,” Pobi said while ogling at the female rabbitmen’s tempting body.

”Oh yeah, this pretty bunny really looks even more beautiful than even the Union President’s main wife. Now that is a first,” Pubo said with a sly glint in his eyes as he licked his lips while looking at the female rabbitmen’s innocent beauty. He was already having his little brother get restless by imagining various scenarios in his mind.

These two were twins with the same looks, and both were scrawny as well.

”Haha, Pobi and Pubo, don’t be so rude to our potential teammates,” Brono said with a casual chuckle and then turned his gaze towards the rabbitmen, especially the female one, inwardly gulping at the sight of her oversized firm breasts, wondering how soft they would be to the touch, “So you two going to introduce yourself or what?”

Viktor had his hand over Seraphina’s shoulder, subtly shielding her and making her stick close to him since he knew these four were here with sinister ulterior motives.

”I am Sera, and this is my h-husband…Azu,” Seraphina momentarily felt a bit awkward introducing Viktor as her husband, but she quickly adapted to it and introduced him as Azu since that was the name he said he wanted to be called.

However, she was only acting polite since she didn’t want any trouble with these four, even though she could feel the way these three men were looking at her, making her feel very uncomfortable.

”How cute you two look together, sigh. I wish I could find a wife as beautiful as you one day, Sera,” Brono sighed.

Seraphina awkwardly nodded and wished she could just stop interacting with them.

And Viktor, as if feeling her discomfort, finally asked, “Well, any reason you guys approached us?”

Brono raised one of his brows, not expecting such a casual tone from Azu, especially since he knew that rabbitmen were meek and timid. But for some reason, this guy didn’t give off such a feeling but instead felt a bit intimidating?

He then realized that maybe it was because these two were not from this town and probably were a bit different because of that.

Still, Brono patted Azu’s shoulder and said, “Of course. We are going on a mission to hunt for some wild creatures within five days, and we really could use the help of rabbitmen like you two to track them. Don’t worry, we four will protect you two, and you two will not even have to raise a single finger.”

Viktor knew that this mission was supposedly just a cover to carry out whatever they were planning, and even if it was a genuine request, he wasn’t interested, though he still asked, “And what will be our reward?”

A sly glint flashed past Bruno’s eyes, especially as he momentarily glanced at the bootylicious beauty sitting beside Azu.

However, on the outside, he gave a friendly smile and said, “Of course, the mission reward of 3000 greater odic coins will be equally divided among us even if you two are new. We are quite fair when it comes to these kinds of things since we believe in equal sharing no matter what we do.”

”Okay. We will think about it,” Viktor casually said as he got up while pulling up Seraphina as well since the dark elves were leaving, and he wanted to follow them while getting rid of these adventurers.

”Oh, we will be waiting near the Adventurer’s Guild. I am pretty sure you guys won’t regret accepting the mission,” Brono said with a certain glint in his eyes as if trying to pass the message that they better accept it if they don’t want to feel regret for not accepting the mission.

Viktor inwardly scoffed as he walked away while holding Seraphina’s hand, who finally was able to comfortably breathe after feeling suffocated in the presence of those vile people. Even without using her abilities, she could feel how impure their aura was, and that was making her feel sick.
