ONE SHOULD SPEAK MODERATELY

After seeing that the Hawk guys are walking towards him, Robin turned toward the Manager and continued a friendly chat. He acted like he didn't see them at all.

"Manager I have been talking with you for days, and I still don't know your name, I am Robin, what's your name?"

Hearing such a question the Managers face become ashen,

'Can you be any more irritating, I'm talking with you like a dear friend for two days and you don't even know my name'

"I'm Marcus"

Said the Manager of Rose inn.

"Haha… Marcus, a nice name"

Looking at Marcus ashen face, Robin just smiled it off. Because as for as he was concerned, he will leave this city within a week so making a guy as a friend is a waste of his time and energy.

'If only the manager was a girl'

There are many luxurious hotels in Black Cloud City, but still, Robin chose to stay at the Rose Inn because of two reasons.

One, in these two days of his stay here, he became familiar with this place and this place is highly populated with humans and fewer other species.

Two, he will make today a big show of his power here, which will earn him respect among the masses.

And lots of people stay in this inn. It's like a hub for information. For his job, this is the best place.

At that time, Cras and the rest of the Hawks have reached Robin.

Seeing Cras, Marcus stood up and welcomed him,

"Hello, Mr.Cras. how may I help you?"

Cras didn't look at Marcus, he just said,

"I'm here to meet this friend, Robin"

Only now, Robin turned and looked at Cras, He put on a friendly smile and casually extended his hand,

"Oh! Its leader Cras, it has been a long time since we met."

Seeing the friendly tone, Cras face muscles twitched,

'Why are you talking like an old friend. We only met yesterday and I'm 50. while you are only around 14 or 15 years old '

But still, Cras shook Robin's hand,

"Not that of a long time."

Robin smiled hearing that,

"Hehe… Okay, how about we have a cup of coffee and talk about life. I heard the Economy is down nowadays."

Seeing, Robin talking random shit, Cras got straight to the point,

"It's been a day, how about you show me the head butchering duo as per our bet"

Hearing Cras words, Robin looked around the crowds gathering and thought,

'He is so eager, he got straight to the point. I want more crowds, now only about 500 people are present. Well, this is it, I think. '

'Now time to make Cras spit some money'

Robin got closer to Cras and said,

"Shall we discuss this in a private space."

Seeing Robin's action, Cras chuckled,

'So you want to say that you can't find the head butchering duo privately to me, you don't want to feel shame in the public. Kid, you should have thought it before.'

"Kid, it's not that I don't want to talk privately to you but look there are more spectators here to watch how you catch those criminals, that even the Hawks detective team can't find for almost a year now. You can't spoil their fun, right?"

Hearing that, everyone around started to shout,

"Yes. Talk here itself."….

'Stage is set.'

Robin made an awkward face. Seeing that Cras subordinates started to criticize Robin,

"Hey kid just apologize"

"Yeah, say that you can't find them"

"Or you just leave the town, we won't bully you"

"Come on kid we don't have all day"

Robin smirked in his heart, and said,

"I never said, I didn't find them. I know who they are."

Aron who was standing beside Cras shouted,

"Then why are you not saying, who they are? If you lie you will get into big trouble for wasting our time"

Robin made an afraid look and said,

"What happens after I say who they are, will you save me if the people behind them come at me for revenge"

Hearing that Aron became silent.

Robin looked at Cras for an answer, but he also remained tongue-tied.

After a moment of silence, Cras said,

"Kid, yesterday you are the person that declared you will capture them, now you are trying to escape by bluffing these shits."

Robin didn't flinch a bit, he made a thinking expression,

"How about this? Didn't you say that you will reward me if I captured them? Give me a Top-quality Warrior Armor so that I can protect myself."

Cras replied coldly,

"Don't be greedy, at most we can reward you 2000 good coins, and also, we will recommend to the Hunter's Guild for the bounty on their head. Nothing more."

Robin thought,

'Hey, why are you talking about the bounty rewards, I will get that separately. I will be the one to kill them.'

As Robin was going to argue, a voice came from within the crowd,

"I will give you an Epic quality armor. Just say who they are?"

Robin turned his head and looked at the place where the voice came from, he saw the two old people and the young girl who he saw yesterday, walkout from within the crowd,

'Today Red dress, She looks pretty in this dress also'

Seeing them Robin greeted,

"Hello, Seniors. Yesterday I didn't even properly, Thank You, guys. Sorry about that."

But the old man said,

"Don't worry about that just say who they are then, I will give the Armor you want."

'Well, it doesn't matter who gives the Armor, as long as I get it. But why is this old man again good with me, don't tell me he is trying something else by giving armor.'

At that time, the girl with the old man said,

"Uncle, why are you promising him to give an Armor. Let's wait for the Senior Brother. Once he comes, he will catch those criminals easily."

Then she turned to Robin and said,

"As for this guy, he is just pretending, he didn't find them. He is conning us."

'Hey, I thought you were a good girl, why are you destroying my income. Money or girl. Money or girl. Money..'

'Yes, I don't need a loud-mouthed Girl like her.'

Coming to a quick decision Robin blurted out,

"Didn't you chase them yesterday and return empty-handed. Since you lost them, you think no one can find them? You are just a petty girl with big boobs and no brain"

While saying the last sentence he looked down at her chest.

Seeing his behavior that girls face started to redden, she said in an angry tone,

"I'm Catherine and not a petty girl. You are the fraud here. Who are you saying that has no brain and only boobs, I will show you who I am "

Blue energy started to cover her whole body and pressure started to drop around her.

Robin didn't faze a bit, he smiled and said,

"Catherine, a beautiful name just like you. But still, I'm not fraud, what will you do if I catch those criminals"

"If you catch them, I will do anything"

"Anything ah… will you marry me?"

'This is it, I can't catch a girl's heart romantically, I'm not good at it, it's my only way to catch a girl, BETTING that is what I'm good at'

Hearing what Robin said the whole Rose inn became silent. But Robin was too focused on the arguing that he forget to access his surrounding.

Catherine became tongue-tied.

Seeing her defeated expression Robin was going to make a remark, but then he heard Jasper's voice inside his head,

'Boss… look at the atmosphere around you'

'What is the big deal, I only flirted with the girl, why is everyone silent. Shouldn't they cheer for me'

Jasper said,

'Boss, she is the city Mayor's daughter, why are you trying to make an enemy of her'…
