Chapter 184: Reward

“Great, Mr. Allan. I didn’t think you will successfully catch him. You really deserve your license.” Seeing Martin in the crater, Elena, who rushed over, looked at this scene in surprise.

She didn’t believe that Allan would be able to catch Martin at first since Martin’s bounty was high.

Even though one can’t judge someone’s strength using his bounty, Martin’s bounty was too high for him to be not dangerous.

However, here he lays in front of her, dying in a crater.

As for Allan, he didn’t suffer any injury, no scratch that, there wasn’t a spec of dust on his body.

“If it wasn’t for the information you provided, I wouldn’t found him, let alone catch him, Elena. After all, this guy is quite cunning.” Allan laughed.

“That’s true.” Elena thought about her contribution and then looked at Martin and asked: “Is he dead?”

Allan shook his head: “No, there is still some life in him.”

Martin didn’t look that humane anymore since he sacrificed God knows what, probably his life, to gain strength to face Allan.

Allan didn’t kill him simply because when the bounty holder dies, the bounty will be reduced by 20 to 50%. That’s he made sure that Star Platinum won’t kill him.

Elena nodded and said: “Martin is worth 500 million Jenny, don’t forget my share when you get the money.”

“Don’t worry. I’m someone who keeps his promises.” Allan said.

Elena nodded. She trusted Allan as a person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have met him offline.

“Then let’s got out of here, Mr. Allan. You caused a huge disturbance in the kingdom, and Martin is still someone from the Church, so the soldiers and the Church will come after you soon. If we don’t leave now, it would be hard for us to leave.”

Allan nodded. Although he wasn’t afraid, it would be troublesome to deal with all those people.

When Allan carried Martin and planned to leave with Elena, a lot of people surrounded them.

Those people seemed very hostile.

“Oh, it seems that there are a lot of people here.”

Allan glanced at the man dressed in armor and held a spear with curiosity.

“They are members of the church and soldiers of the kingdom.” Elena frowned slightly.

The battle between Martin and Star Platinum drew too much attention and destroyed quite a few buildings which let those soldiers and the church members here.

In the eyes of those people, Allan was suspicious.

And when they saw Martin, extremely weak and barely alive, they felt that Allan was a murderer.

At first, they didn’t recognize Martin, but the church member quickly recognized him and shouted: “Isn’t that Master Martin?”

“Damn it! How dare you do that to Master Martin.”

“It seems that he was the one who attacked the Church previously. We can’t let him go.”

The members of the Church looked angrily at Allan.

Seeing the current situation, Elena quickly explained: “You guys, listen here. Martin is a criminal with a bounty over his head. You’re all being deceived by him.”

However, when someone believed in something, they won’t listen to anyone who they didn’t know, especially when they are in a situation like the current Elena and Allan.

Seeing those people being unreasonable, Elena looked at Allana and asked: “Mr. Allan, what should we do?”

Allan smiled lightly: “Don’t worry, you will be fine with me here.”

At this time, the system’s voice echoed in Allan’s mind.

[Ding! Make a Choice]

[1: Protect Elena without killing anyone here and break through the siege safely. Reward: Paramecia fruit: Flower Flower fruit.]

[2: Disregard Elena and leave her alone. Reward: A Meito.]

[3: Remove all obstacles in your way. Reward: Paramecia Fruit: Mochi Mochi fruit.] (Katakuri’s fruit)

Allan thought for a bit, then chose the first option.

Although the reward for the third option was better, Allan wasn’t an egoist. Those people were innocent, and he won’t just kill them all for a devil fruit that he can’t even use.

Nico Robin’s fruit was good anyways.

After making his choice, Allan released his Conqueror’s Haki.

Except for Elena, all the people surrounding them fainted and fell.

“Eeh, what happened?”

Seeing the exaggerated scene, Elena was stunned.

“Mr. Allan, what did you do to them?”

Although Elena didn’t see Allan move, she felt that it was Allan who did this just now.

Allan waved his hand indifferently: “Don’t worry, I just knocked them out temporarily. Nothing bad will happen to them.”

While he was speaking, Allan received his reward from the system.

After that, Allan and Elena took an airship and left the kingdom.

A day later, they arrived at a city called Kerry, in the Republic of Padokea.

“Here, this is the place.”

Allan and Elena arrived at a suburban hut in the city. After opening the door, another one appeared that required a password.

After entering the password, Allan and Elena entered the passage.

At the end of the passage, another door appeared, and above it, there were three words, Black Market Exchange.

Yes, this place was the black market.

This is a secret location that most people won’t know about it or even if they knew, they won’t find it.

After entering, Allan handed Martin over to the staff and received his reward.

Unfortunately, because Martin suffered severe injuries, he didn’t stay alive till they got here and died on the way, so Allan only received 350 million Jenny.

It was a pity, but Allan didn’t mind.

“The next time, I should be more careful.” Allan thought.

After getting out, Allan directly transferred 100 million Jenny into Elena’s account, which is the reward she deserved.

Allan wasn’t stingy to reduce the reward for Elena because his own reward was reduced.

He wanted to build trust between them since he can cooperate with her in the future.

“Then, Mr. Allan, see you again if there is a chance,” Elena said and took her to leave.

Allan nodded said nothing.

However, at this moment, the system’s voice echoed in his head.

[Ding! Make a Choice]

[1: Invite Elena to join you, and make her agree. Reward: Hitsugaya Toshiro’s Zanpakuto, Daiguren Hyorinmaru.]

[2: Let Elena go. No reward]

There is actually such a thing? I can really get Daiguren Hyorinmaru?!

Without any hesitation, Allan picked the first option. After all, a Zanpakuto was better than an ordinary sword or even a Meito. Furthermore, Daiguren Hyorinmaru is an ice attributed Sword, which fits Allan greatly.

Allan directly asked Elena: “Wait, Elena, are you interested in joining my organization?” … ‘Damn, that came out wrong!’

Elena was stunned for a moment before she asked in confusion: “What organization? Allan, aren’t you a professional hunter and belong to the hunter association? Do you want me to join the association as well? I’m fine with that, but isn’t joining require me to pass the exam and obtain a license?”

Allan smiled: “Sorry, I didn’t mean that. I meant I wanted you to be my companion so that we can cooperate better in the future.”

“So that’s what you’re asking.” Seeing Elena nodding, Allan tentatively asked: “So, do you agree?”

Elena didn’t answer immediately and instead asked back: “What is your reason for inviting me?”

“You’re an expert in intelligence gathering, and I need someone like you. Is this good enough reason?”

“You, you need me?” Elena blushed, as she didn’t expect Allan to be so straightforward about this.

She thought for a bit, then nodded and said: “If you want me to be your companion, I can promise, but you have to do something for me first.”

Allan directly asked: “No problem, what do you want me to do?”

“Help me kill a guy.”

“Who?”

“His name is Helphes, a noble that I hope you can get rid of.”

Seeing Elena’s seriousness, Allan nodded: “No problem, it will be done.”

Although Allan didn’t know why Elena wanted to kill this person, he needed to do so. After all, if she agrees to be his companion, he can get Daiguren Hyorinmaru which is his goal.
