In a state of loss of consciousness, Gideon struggled to release a firm grasp of the hand from his head. Blood flowed in his eyes, mouth, and nose signifying how severe the wounds he had suffered. With resignation, he accepted his terrible fate.
Yuki, who is fed up with the game, declares that his time is up. Seriously, he tightened his grip, and Gideon's head broke with violence. Blood flowed profusely onto the floor, creating a terrifying scene. After that, Yuki let go of his grasp, and Gideon's body lay lifelessly on the ground, with his already shapeless head.
Seeing the adventurer identity bracelet on her arm, Yuki felt disappointed and emotionless. He took the bracelet off furiously and threw it into Gideon's bloodied body. Disappointment was clearly on his face.
Without turning away, Yuki left the office room with firm steps. As he crossed the exit, a receptionist woman who saw him immediately lowered her head as a sign of respect. The woman then sat back at her reception desk, ready to resume her duties.
With steady steps, Yuki stepped out of the adventurer's headquarters, while calling the guards guarding the front door of the headquarters. His voice sounded loud and resolute as he requested that his horse carriage be taken.
The headquarters guard swiftly responded to Yuki's command, "Well, sir. I'll take it soon."
It did not take long, in less than two minutes, the horse carriage in question had already arrived in front of the headquarters. Yuki nimbly stepped inside the carriage, previously giving a bag of gold coins to the guard as a token of gratitude.
The headquarters guard received the bag of gold coins with great respect. His gaze was full of happiness as he said, "Thank you, sir. What an unexpected and extraordinary generosity sir."
The horse carriage drove away from the adventurer's headquarters, leaving the guards still looking in awe at the pile of gold coins that were in the bag. With great care, he opened the bag and saw an unexpected wealth. His heart was filled with gratitude for the grandfather's generosity.
In his mind, the guard decided to carefully store that pile of gold coins. He realized how good the grandfather was and wanted to make sure that this precious treasure was not lost or that anything went wrong. Responsibly, he tidied up the bag and guarded it with great care.
At the foot of the twilight sky that was emitting golden warmth, Yuki stepped with a relieved heart. He decided to spend one night in the kingdom of Ardor. His steady and sure steps lead him through the crowded streets with nightlife.
Shortly after, the sun slumped on the horizon, leaving the sky glowing orange and red. The street lights started to light up one by one, giving a gentle glow that beautified the royal scene at night.
Yuki also walked towards a classic-style inn located in the middle of the city. The building is magnificent with a touch of beautiful architecture and stunning ornaments. Its spacious terrace was filled with colorful flowers that exuded a refreshing aroma.
Upon entering the inn lobby, Yuki was greeted by a friendly and graceful servant. With a warm smile, the maid greeted Yuki with words full of courtesy, "Welcome, sir. How can we serve you tonight?"
Yuki, who still carried an aura of courage and wisdom from her journey, looked at the maid with gentleness and replied, "Thank you for the welcome. I'd like to book a room to stay for one night."
The waiter nodded respectfully and showed the way to the reception desk. Agilely, he takes care of all the necessary formalities and gives the room key to Yuki.
"If you need anything during your stay here, don't hesitate to contact us" the waiter said kindly as he gave a genuine smile.
Yuki gave a reply smile and thanked the waiter. Then, he walked towards the beautiful and comfortable room that had been provided. After gently closing the door, he threw himself on the soft bed and felt relieved that his adventure today had ended well.
In the stillness of the brightly lit night, Yuki pondered what he had done he had become a murderer.
With confusion approaching her face, the female receptionist looked at the clock on the wall that showed it at nine o'clock in the evening. He recalled the daily routine at the adventurer headquarters, where Mr. Gideon, the head of the headquarters, would usually leave his office at this point and give him orders to buy food.
In her doubt, the female receptionist stepped slowly to Mr. Gideon's office door. He knocked on the door gently, hoping that Mr. Gideon would still be in it. But there is no answer.
With a careful step, he opened the door and entered the quiet room. Fainter lights adorned the room, and Mr. Gideon's desk was cluttered with scattered documents. He's trying to figure out what's going on.
Without realizing it, the female receptionist heard a trembling voice from inside the office. He saw a beam of light radiating from behind the door that opened slightly. With burning courage, he approached the door and slowly opened it.
When the door opened completely, his gaze came to a halt at the shocking sight. In the middle of the chaotic office, Mr. Gideon was lying on the floor, his body drenched in blood with a shapeless head. The eyes of the female receptionist grew bigger, confusion and fear enveloped her.
"Lord, what's going on here?" he muttered softly with great fear.
At the adventurer headquarters were many adventurers hearing the screams of the female receptionist, In the eerie silence, the screams of the female receptionist sounded shrill in the corridor of the adventurer headquarters. The sound broke the silence and provoked the attention of the adventurers who were around. They rushed towards the source of the voice, heart pounding and mind full of worry.
In an instant, Mr. Gideon's office door opened wide and the adventurers entered the room with careful steps. They were astonished to see the terrifying sight before them. The dried up blood and the formless corpse of Mr. Gideon left them flabbergasted and distrustful of what they saw.
"What's going on?!" exclaimed an adventurer in a hoarse voice, his eyes fixated on the lifeless corpse on the floor.
The female receptionist felt claustrophobic in this frightening situation. He fumbled at his confusion and tried to explain in a trembling voice, "Mr Gideon.he...!"
Those words echoed in the room, triggering panic and confusion among the gathered adventurers. They whispered to each other, trying to find answers amidst the chaos that was engulfing.
"Oh my God, what's going on here?" an adventurer exclaimed with a trembling tone, a look of confusion and panic adorning his face.
"Who could do something like this? How come?" shouted an adventurer with a face full of disbelief.
"Go get help! Hurry along!" another exclaim, with a hoarse voice because of nervousness.
The other adventurers moved quickly, trying to see Mr. Gideon's body. However, the terrible reality of hitting them his head was already destroyed.
The female receptionist, still trembling and sobbing in the corner of the room, tried to explain what she was witnessing. His voice was full of fear as he tried to arrange words to explain this terrible situation.
"When I came to Mr. Gideon's office, I found him like this. His body was covered in blood, his head was crushed, and there were no signs of life" he said in a soft voice filled with fear.
The adventurers looked at each other, the look on their faces reflecting confusion and worry. They were trying to understand what could have caused this terrible death. Thoughts and speculations began to fill their minds, searching for clues in the chaos that lay around them.
In a tense silence, a brave adventurer raised his voice, trying to calm the gripping situation.
"We need to stay calm and get together. We have to contact the authorities and gather the evidence that is here. This is a terrible crime, and we have to find out who is responsible" he said in a steady voice.
Other adventurers agreed to the proposal, following the direction of the wise adventurer. In the crowd and the ensuing chaos, they work together to maintain security and gather evidence that could bring justice to Mr. Gideon.
In the darkness that filled the office, confusion and fear continued to envelop their every step. They kept wondering, who was the culprit behind this horrible death? And what is the motive behind this heinous act?
