31 Bounty Missions

After getting all information about mission targets, He looked up all of them for system to register them in library and then left the Adventurer's association.

The minimum bounty mission he was holding was worth less than 1 million and maximum was 30 million. There were few 50 million bounty worth missions in D grade but he didn't take them.

He checked the nearest target, a bandit group worth 2 million bounty. They were terrorizing the people on few islands. Their last known location was around 9 hours journey at normal ship's speed.

He left on his ship to an uninhabited area and then made his ship fly almost 3000 ft above the sea and kept ships size as small as possible, so that it may not be obvious at naked eyes.

It took him 3 hours to reach above the island where is target was. He used Geppo and stored his ship in storage and looked at the island. He used observation haki to find the clues. He could only find few strong signature, compared to normal people, in the village. He went above the strongest person's house. He used observe to check his status. He found that this person has all stats in hundreds. But he was not Alden's target. So he went to a pub and listened to the people talking. He found out that the strongest person was Austin. He was village chief who put on the mission at Adventurer's association regarding these bandits. But He alone could not fight all of the bandits. Alden went to his home and knocked at his door.

One servant opened the door and said: " Whom do you wish to meet?"

Alden said: " Tell your village chief that I came from Adventurer's association for the mission he posted."

The servant went and called Austin. When Austin came he was surprised to see a 15-16 years young boy with a sword standing in front of him.

He said: " Kid, are you sure you want to take this mission alone? These are bandits, they are not kids play. You should not - "

Before he could say anything, Alden slashed his arm towards a tree in Austin's house and cut it with sword intent and said: " Ah, sorry for the tree, I forgot to not use my powers while moving my arm. So what were you saying?"

Looking at the half cut tree and listening to Alden, Austin was sweating. From where this monster has come?

Afterwards he sighed and said: " These days, it seems you can't even underestimate kids."

Alden said: " So old man tell me everything about the bandits. What have they done and their whereabouts."

Austin asked him to come inside. When they were seated in the hall, Austin said," These bandits kills men, kidnaps women and children. I could stop them from attacking this village, but if anyone goes outside of the village, I cannot save them. I don't know the exact location of the bandits' lair. But it should be at the east side of the village. Their number should be around 40-50 people. And they have kidnapped many women and children. I hope you save them."

Alden didn't ask him anymore and stood up. He walked out of the door and went towards east of the village. When he was outside, he used geppo and looked for any bandits. After few minutes, he found two bandits talking to each other.

First Bandit: "We didn't find any prey coming here today. Its been boring day. If we can't find anything today then we won't have any women to have fun for a week."

Second Bandit : " Don't worry, if prey doesn't come here then we will go little near to the village and -"

Suddenly two arms caught them by their necks. Alden asked them: " Where is your hideout?"

Bandit one: "Why should I tell you? you don't -"

'Crack~~'

His neck broke. Then he looked at second bandit and asked same question.

He was so scared that he did't even resist and told him about about their hideout's location and then his neck also cracked. Alden was not going to show mercy to these bandits.

He went towards the hideout and met few of them on the way who lost their lives before they knew it.

When he was above their hideout. He used observe on their leader.

"Strength: 170

Agility: 125

Intelligence: 200

Spirit: 155"

He also found many cages, where he saw many women and children with black eyes which lost all their hopes.

Alden felt his anger boiling. He didn't want to give these bandits any chance. So he used soru and reached the leader and behead him with the slash of his arm and kept killing other bandits before they could react. When few of them saw this, they felt horror and tried to run away. But they couldn't. Alden was like a ghost and he killed all of them. He then went up in the air and checked outside of the hideout for other bandits. He found few of them roaming and waiting for the so called prey. But they themselves became prey of the bounty hunter. He took the head of the leader and opened the cages and freed all the women and children. He told them to go to the village and said that they are free now. But they still looked lost. Few of them started crying. They have been through a lot.

Alden didn't want to deal with them so he quickly went back to village and told village chief that he had cleaned up the bandits, he showed him their leader's head. He said to village chief that he should go to their hideout with few people and bring back all the kidnapped women and children. After saying that, he went towards the sea and put the head of the bandit leader in his inventory. His first mission was complete.

He went in the sea and took out his ship and started towards, next location, which was 4 hours from his location and he wanted to meditate before next mission. So he planned to take sea route and use full four hours to clear his mind.
