Scheme Starts

Daru ate the dishes he ordered greedily after compiling anything he would add in the Sarren Hill area. Without him noticing, there was a pair of eyes watching him from outside the restaurant through the window. Daru who felt a gaze even started to look out the window.

"Isn't he the old man from the Tracker's Inn inn in Waterfall City? Is he the one who wants my head?" daru muttered after successfully finding the man who was staring at him from earlier.

"Why did he get here? I'm sure I've set up a teleportation portal in Waterfall City,"

The two of them looked at each other until the old man smiled and walked away.

"If he's the one who wants to kill me, why doesn't his gaze show hatred?" Daru stroked his chin.

Daru pulls out his smartphone and opens Islagram to search for information about Dante, the man who put a high price on his head.

[Dante]

[I will become rich after the man named Daru dies. Haha]

Daru furrowed his brows and searched for Dante's previous posts. His attention was focused on one of the posts that he believed to be the beginning of the installation of his head price.

[Dante]

[A man in a covered dress came and handed me 35,000 gold coins. He told me to come to Bull's Horn Bar and put a price on someone named Daru's head. He said that after Daru was killed, he would give me 10,000 gold coins. I just found out that Bar Bull's Horn is an assassin organization.]

"Dante .., I'm sure he's not from the six great cities of the Kingdom of Resia. Who is that man in the cover? He was not an indiscriminate person, 45,000 gold coins was no small number to the people of the Isla Continent." Daru goes into meticulous mode.

He said he would receive 10,000 gold coins after I die, meaning that the money was not in his hands yet. There is still a possibility that Dante will meet the man again, Daru thought.

Daru gets the idea and starts contacting Veux to ask about an item Daru wants.

"There, Mas Daru. Wanna buy?" veux asked after hearing what Daru wanted over the Phone.

"Yes Mas Veux. Oh, is there a tool that can return an item in its previous condition?" ask Daru. He had just remembered about the condition of Julius' book and wanted to put it on fire.

"There is, but the maximum is only 2 days. So an item can be returned 2 days in advance" said Veux.

Daru let out a long breath. Julius' book had been burning for more than 6 months, it was impossible for the device to restore the condition of Julius's Book.

"Then, I bought the item I mentioned just now," Daru said languidly.

"Ok, wait a minute. Again look for elephant tail, wife cravings."

Tut

Veux turned off the phone.

Ngidam hard line, said Daru in his heart.

Daru again enjoyed the meal.

....

In a dark room, Moon City.

"If the Black Minotaur can't take care of it, we both have to" a man told a woman in front of him.

"Week, if there is no news of Daru's death for a week, we will move on" he added.

"I'm sure that even though Bar Bull's Horn set up a branch on Sarren Hill, Black Minotaur remains neutral. That much gold coin must have caught the attention of the assassins" the woman replied.

"Just in case, we don't know what relationship Klein has with Daru. Make sure you pay for your doll after Daru's killed." The man activated the demon magic after saying so.

"Your own fault for interfering in the affairs of those you can't touch, Daru," the woman muttered before disappearing with stealth magic.

....

Go back to the restaurant Daru was in.

"Mas Daru," said Veux who had just arrived after about 20 minutes from the moment he hung up.

"Mas Veux, pregnant wife? How many months?" ask Daru.

"Ah, it's been about 2 years, hehe," Veux replied with a friendly laugh.

Is there a woman who is 2 years pregnant? said Daru inwardly in astonishment.

"This is the order, Mas." Veux handed him a black parcel containing something that looked round.

"How's "use it? So, how much is it?" ask Daru.

"Imagine what it's like, flow mana into it, so. It costs 20 millions."

Daru then transfers his money with the appropriate amount to Veux's account.

"Then, I'll find the lion's fingernails first. Wife if cravings must be followed, hehe," said Veux.

"Oh, haha, spirit, Mas Veux." Daru smiled kindly before seeing Veux disappear.

It was an elephant tail, now a lion's hoof. What do you want to eat anyway? thought Daru astonishment.

"With this should be enough. Now I have to go to the palace." Daru rushed towards the palace of the Resia Kingdom after leaving a bag of gold coins on his dining table.

Daru walked leisurely towards the palace. He showed a gap wide enough to lure those who wanted to kill him to appear. However, his hope did not happen, now he was in front of the palace gate without any movement from the person who wanted to kill him.

"I want to see Uncle Vanir" Daru told a guard.

The guard nodded and called for a servant to escort Daru.

Daru arrived at a room that was no stranger to him. Daru immediately sat on one of the chairs and waited for King Vanir to come.

"Is it time for your fourth request?" asked King Vanir right after opening the door.

"Hahaha, Uncle Vanir, I see you're in good health as long as I'm gone." Daru stood up and greeted King Vanir.

"I do look healthy, but it's not inside, huh." King Vanir sighed before sitting in front of Daru.

"What's going on?" ask Daru.

"Verza escaped from prison about 2 weeks ago." King Vanir lowered his head and held his head.

Is Verza Lionness trying to kill me? He should have no wealth anymore. If he really was the one behind Dante, where would he get that kind of money? said Daru in heart.

"How's chronology?"

"I don't know, it happened at night. All the guards standing guard at the prison were killed with neck wounds. It was probably carried out by a trained assassin with one strike without counter-resistance" King Vanir said.

So it makes sense. Without supporters, Verza Lionness would not be able to pay that much, Daru thought.

"It turns out to be this complicated. By the way, Mr. Gustave Edelgard invited Uncle to meet at Sarren Hill the day after tomorrow. Can Uncle come?" Daru also headed towards the topic of his goal coming.

"I can come in a week. The conditions in the palace were too complicated after Verza escaped. I'll come with Fiona. Can you tell that to King Gustave?" ask King Vanir.

King Vanir was surprised instead of playing after hearing Daru's words. He knew, no one dared to touch Daru after he conquered the five highest Royal Noble Families of the Resia Kingdom.

"A murder attempt? Maybe it was Verza. I expect your safety."

"Thank you, Uncle Vanir. I also wish Uncle's safety. Please be careful," Daru replied.

Daru said goodbye to King Vanir and went back to Sarren Hill.

After arriving at Sarren Hill, Daru headed to the dormitory building to meet Neia.

"Grandmother Neia, what kind of worker does Grandma want? And what does Grandma need in the store building?" ask Daru after meeting Neia.

"The worker is better who has strong physical strength, I will plant magic in the potion while the worker will stir the potion. Stirring the potion is pretty heavy, you know?" neia said with a slight laugh.

Daru replied with a laugh and let Neia continue.

"For the store, there should be a giant furnace and a fireplace, that's all," Neia added.

"Okay, I'll get it ready immediately. Neia's grandmother just continue to rest her," said Daru.

"Thank you, you're good." Neia was truly grateful to be able to meet a person as good as Daru. I don't know how much longer he could survive if only he turned down Daru's offer and chose to keep opening a shanty shop without customers in Waterfall City.

Daru smiled kindly in response to Neia's words and went to her shop.

There are so many people in Bukit Sarren today, restaurants and bars full of customers, Daru shops whose queue is already about 50 meters from the door, and there are also some people who seem to enjoy the atmosphere of the hill.

Daru entered the store and saw his employees were very busy.

Without saying anything, Daru headed towards the upper second floor.

Daru sat on the sofa and took out a paper and pen to write a letter to King Gustave. Daru wrote that King Vanir could come in another week with his wife, Fiona Lionness.

After writing the letter, Daru shouted, "Drey!"

Daru's shout was loud enough that Drey who was watching the customers on the top first floor with stealth magic heard it. Drey headed straight for the upper second floor.

The door in the upper second-floor room opened with no one in sight. Suddenly, Drey's figure appeared in front of Daru on his knees.

"Boss!" shout Drey.

"Take off your mask, I have a duty for you" Daru said.

"But, Boss ...."

"Take it off, if you do this job as the Black Crow, it's sure to fail because a lot of people are afraid of you."

"All right," said Drey before removing his mask.

Drey's face was actually quite handsome, but due to the numerous scars, he looked a little scary.

"I want you to go to Waterfall City, Kingdom of Saria, and give this letter to the Chief Guard of the palace named Trevor. Just tell me it's a letter from me to King Gustave" Daru said as he held out an envelope.

"Oh, so that's why I have to take off the mask, boss." Drey understands Daru's intentions. If only a black Crow hitman had given a letter to a king, it would have been considered a threat.

"You understand. After you hand over the letter, head to Bull's Horn Bar in Moon City and meet the two hit men in person. Tell one of the assassins to meet me, and the other to contact Mr. Klein and ask him to return to Moon City with Miss Lyd."

"Boss, why do you need another hit man while the greatest hit man is in front of you?" drey asked in astonishment.

"Because it's not murder that I'm about to be assigned. Hahaha," Daru replied.

"Now, do your job. Borrow a teleportation necklace from Frey."

Drey uses his magic again and heads upstairs to meet Frey.

"Boss Frey, Boss Daru wants you to lend me a teleportation necklace" said Drey, still in a state of stealth magic.

"What's he planning?" frey asked as he held out a teleportation necklace toward the source of Drey's voice.

"I was assigned to go to Waterfall City to hand over a letter, then to Moon City to meet a hitman at Bar Bull's Horn" Drey replied as he grabbed the necklace in Frey's hands. The necklace also fused with Drey's stealth magic, making it invisible.

Isn't there a hit man at Bar Bull's Horn Hill Sarren? Why did Daru call out to the ones in Moon City? thought Frey.

"Alright, do your job, I'll meet Daru."

Frey headed to the upper second floor after handing over his work to the others.

Crick

Frey opened the door and immediately sat down beside Daru.

"What's going on?" ask Frey to Daru.

Daru looked at Frey and directly leaned his head against Frey's thigh.

"It's comfortable" Daru said.

Frey smiled and said, "You haven't answered my question. Why are you looking for a hit man for Bar Bull's Horn in Moon City and not looking for him in Sarren Hill?"

"Someone put a high price on my head. I'm playing a scheme to find out who's responsible for it. The reason why I'm not looking for a hit man on Sarren Hill is because I'm a little worried that the guy named Dante, the one who put up the price, is here. It will arouse suspicion from him and my scheme will fail" Daru replied.

Frey was surprised, he just found out about it.

"What can I do to help you?" ask Frey a little worried.

"Hmmm, kiss me so that I can be more excited," Daru replied with a flick of his head.

"I'm serious" said Frey, holding back a laugh.

Daru turned his head up and his eyes immediately glared because of what he saw.

"It's not me who won't look into your eyes when you talk to you, but your face is covered by that .." Daru said.

"Didn't you like it?" Frey started to mock.

"Of course, it would be better if it was not closed," Daru said before rising from his recline.

"I have to make preparations" Daru added.

Daru took out the package he had bought from Veux.

The package contained a ball the size of a head, Daru held the ball and began to imagine the shape of his head with blood stains.

After Daru flowed his mana into the ball, the ball turned into a head with Daru's face complete with a neck that seemed to be cut off.

Daru smiled and said, "The scheme begins."
