chapter 6: secret base

When Reno revealed himself, many people look at him with surprised.

They didn't know who this guy but for triss, he was a saviour who save his brother. But one person who isn't happy at all.

"Who are you?! Do you know what happened if you became the red wolves enemy?!"

As he pointed Reno with his remaining fingers.

Reno only shrug it and said.

"I don't know and I don't care. But one thing for sure is that you are not worthy to live."

As Reno pulled his bow, Devon tried to escape from the arrows. But Reno didn't let him escape.

When the bow string finally loose. The arrow penetrated his ankle and as for the second person who was running away.

Reno's arrow Miss him. This makes Reno to be nervous because if he manage to escape the whole gang will come after him.

Lucky for him, he didn't have to chase as people who was afraid before has blocked the exit.

This makes him to angrily scream but the people didn't move as he try to find his way out, but Reno who saw this. Fired another arrow and this time. The arrow when straight to his head as it was pin out to the wall.

Looking at his subordinate who was killed. He begin cursing Reno.

But Reno wasn't affected his words. His been shouted by his boss in his previous world making him became veteran.

Of course, Reno didn't kill him but instead. The teenage name triss walk towards him with his plasma blade.

When Devon saw this, he can see the hatred in his eyes as he was already made up his mind to kill him.

This makes Devon to panic as he tried to convince triss to let him go, he even go as far as offering all him money for freedom.

But triss doesn't care.

He look like a vengeful parent as he walk to Devon.

"You bastard! I swear I'll curse you until the end of my li- ugh."

Devon didn't finish his words as triss beheaded him in one swing.

When Reno saw this, he then get down for the roof and landed to one of the creates.

He didn't care about the gazes of the people as he looted the bodies he killed. And when he saw triss look at him, he then said.

"What do you want boy?"

Although Reno really wants to make this boy as his close friend. He doesn't have a good option.

He knew that this people had this kind of stuff in daily life and if a person save them. The only thing that came in mind was they want something from you.

Reno knew this kind of behavior since most people in his previous world was like that.

There is no free stuff.

That motto was already marked in his head.

"First of all thank you umm..."

"My name is Reno."

"Right, Reno. Thank you Reno for saving my brother."

As the little brother bowed his head. Reno only nodded as he about to loot the second one.

Triss ask.

"Reno where you came from? Are from the east side of this city?"

When Reno heard this, Reno look at him with confusion and ask.

"East side?"

When triss heard his reply. This surprise him a bit and said.

"You don't know the east side of this city? Wait are from the outside?!"

As Reno nodded. Triss was shock but he regain his calm and said.

"East side is where the place of a half breeds like you Reno. Most of the half breeds didn't wonder this kind of place since they been captured and sell off."

"Sell?"

"Yes, most half breeds was sell on nobles and mad scientist. We didn't know what faiths happened to them but abducting people was daily occurred here.

Moreover, since you are excellent in fighting. The people in underground fights are willing to buy you."

As Reno heard this, his lips twitch And ask.

"So the reason why you ask me about east side was because someone taking care of them?"

"Yes, in fact the east side become the territory of the all half breeds and they are in protection of the huge organization called sharp fangs.

No other people can get in and get out from their territory unless you're are one of them, as it was like a living fortress."

As Reno heard this, he then ask again.

"Then what group is it that abduct half breeds?"

"Hmmm.... I heard some people from small group but groups who abducting the most half breeds are the black scorpion group."

When he heard this, reno gave a sigh of relief as he trust his badge.

Then for the moment, a notification pops out.

[You received a new quest]

[Hunter become the hunted]

[Hunt every black scorpion groupor related to abduction in lawless city that abduct innocent half breeds.

Reward: 1 lower rank will receive 1 crystal coins. 1 mid rank will receive 5 crystal coins. 1 high will receive 10 crystal coins.

Special reward: 50 crystal coins for each leader of black scorpion.

When Reno saw this, he couldn't help to smiled twitch.

He has been avoiding the black scorpion because of the badge. Now Sylvia was like asking him to die.

Of course, this kind of quest was helpful on him. since the system market offers more useful things that the things that the actual market offers.

For Reno, this is a actually double edge sword. Where his enemies will hunt him down if they find out that his still alive, or become stronger from the rewards he get.

As Reno think this, triss then ask.

"If you don't have anywhere else to go. You can come to our home."

When Reno heard this, he look at the teenage with confusion as triss continued.

"Look you don't have anything to go and you're new here. This is the only way I repay you for saving my brother."

"Are you sure? You might not know if am a bad person."

"Am sure of it, besides we people of the lawless city knew if a person if his bad or not. And am confident that you are a good person."

As triss patted his chest. Reno smiled at triss.

What he said is right. He's been wandering the city when he arrived. he didn't find a place to stay or rather he avoided it.

Most streets was patrol by gangs or even thugs everywhere. Reno never trust anyone in this chaotic city and he knew that if he ask some he didn't know for help. It will be his biggest regret.

As Reno agreed. Triss and his brother Kyle when home.

Upon arriving at the run down buildings or rather. The place called slum. The three youngsters when to the run down building where some people live.

Then they all entered a tunnel where most people didn't walk on.

This confused Reno as why many people avoided this place and when triss notice Reno's confused face. He then spoke.

"Many years later ago before this city turned like this. This place was once a place where the mechanic use to be there laboratory."

"Laboratory for mechanics?"

"Yes, the mechanics use this place to produce all kinds of steel golems and even weapons for the kingdom but, when the kingdom of Louisiana attack.

The city was the first to be attacked as they destroyed every facility related to mechanic. Of course, the mechanics fought back.

They slaughter every mages and aura users that invaded the city. But no matter how powerful the mechanics are. They couldn't keep up the upcoming attacks from the enemies and it became like this.

Most unknown organization tried there best to salvage the information that they could take from every facilities, but mechanics are not stupid and they even place a self destruction in every facility in case of some entered by force."

"Did some tried there luck?"

"Yes, many organization ignored the warning as a result. Different places in this city exploded and some bystander was caught too."

As they three arriving at the laboratory. This makes surprised Reno.

Inside the building was ruined walls and some debris from the ceiling, but what surprised him was this place was like a hospital building.

At first, he thought that the laboratory they talking about was like a dungeon but he was wrong.

"This is the place me and my brother lives. We use this place to test our creation too."

"Yeah, look brother take a look at this."

As Kyle show the miniature steel golem he was holding. Reno smiled as he patted the child.

"We use this place as our home. You can use the other rooms to rest but be careful to the big door over there."

As triss pointed the large metallic door. Triss continued.

"I once entered that room but that room has full of traps. And I barely save myself in death so please don't opened that door."

As Reno nodded. He didn't say anything else but he was curious what's inside the door.

If triss said was true. He then ask Sylvia.

[Host, that room was experiment facility where most dangerous weapons and steel golem was located. If the host wish to entered. You need to become more knowledgeable or powerful to enter.]

As Sylvia finished. Reno swore himself that he will challenge the facility once he became strong.
