BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76: Found The Hunt
All the information she could find had pushed her to one place, and the place she had come to was an ordinary inn on one of the extreme points of the 10th floor.
The 10th floor was so large that even with Ariel\'s contact with people she knew, it had taken a long time to get a few decent pieces of information, and it had taken even longer to process the information properly and finally get to the position she was in.
It was approaching 28 days. Today was the last day of the arena, and Ariel wanted to throw Elian in front of James before the end of the day.
"Oooh! If this is not the great lady Ariel." When the elderly receptionist uttered those words, the people around seemed to startle.
Ariel\'s fame seemed to have spread far and wide, and what was more frightening to them was that Ariel had destroyed six assassin headquarters just to achieve her goal.
They shouldn\'t have taken her on as an enemy.
"I need information, what I have learnt led me here, give me what I want and I will leave," Ariel said suddenly, her face so emotionless and cold that it was impossible not to freeze under that gaze.
"I don\'t think I have any information about what you want, madam. Forgive my rudeness, and please leave my workplace if you are not going to stay here," the old man replied to Ariel in a rather rude tone. However, with a very polite choice of words, it was quite possible to see that the woman was getting angry.
Ariel, who had started to take light steps, had one of her knives in one hand and a scroll in the other.
After the old man came in front of her, she handed the scroll to him and then stabbed her knife into the table, then took a deep breath and began to speak:
"I can kill you, old man, I will get a small punishment for it, but you will be dead. I give you a choice, either you give me what I want or you lose a finger every ten seconds."
As these words came out of Ariel\'s mouth, the old man leaned a little closer to her and then chuckled and asked, "Do you think everyone is afraid of you, young lady?"
As soon as Ariel heard those words, she grabbed the old man\'s head and slammed it down hard on the reception desk.
"SMASH!"
The old man\'s face was crushed, but that wasn\'t enough for Ariel, she held her knife properly and held the old man\'s hand in such a way that he couldn\'t move, and then she said the following words:
"Oh I don\'t think everyone is afraid of me, you\'ve got it all wrong. I am only doing my duty and if you have heard my name even a little from the upper floors, you know how merciless I am. Even if I kill you, the guild of Olympus and Asgard will understand, after all, it was someone standing above them who ordered the target to be found.
You are still alive because my guild leader asked me not to kill anyone who is not a fault, so do your job and tell me what you know."
With those words, she let the old man go completely and then showed him the parchment again, even though the old man was bleeding from his nose, he still seemed to be frightened by the fact that he might die if he was any more stupid, which is why he started to speak:
"He came two days ago, he\'s staying in the master suite, you should go up there, I don\'t know why you\'re chasing him, but he paid me extra money to keep quiet.\'"
Ariel shook her head at what she heard and then put the scroll back into her inventory, she then took out a small health potion and handed it to the old man.
"That\'s all you had to do," Ariel said and then looked at the stairs and muttered, "Stupid architecture, it\'s so old it doesn\'t even have an elevator, the tenth floor is so fucking stupid!" and then started up the stairs.
After almost three minutes, she came to the corridor where the master suite was and started to move towards the room.
When she arrived in front of the room, she waited for a few seconds and then kicked the door open. When she entered with a few light steps, she saw that everything was tidy. At that very moment, she felt a bloodlust coming from behind her and then she took her other knife out of his inventory and made a move towards the back.
"CHING!"
Elian tried to attack Ariel, but his sword strike was deflected by Ariel\'s block.
Ariel moved her shoulder a little and then twirled the blade in her left hand like she was twirling a pen and looked at Elian.
Ariel\'s main weapon was her knives, even when James asked her to use everything she used her fists because she wanted to get better at fighting unarmed.
So she didn\'t fight James using everything.
Ariel was at least three times a better fighter when she used a knife.
Elian felt his whole body tremble as he looked at the woman\'s hand in front of him. The aura reflected in Ariel\'s blades was so sharp and determined that a weak person like Elion couldn\'t understand how strong the aura was.
Ariel suddenly lunged forward and struck Elian as hard as she could. Although Elian tried to counter the attack, the sword in his hand was cut in half like a piece of paper, surprising Ariel as much as Elion.
She had checked the knives she had taken from James one by one while tracking Elian. She was satisfied with what she had found.
When Elion saw what had happened, he realised that it would make no sense for him to run, and then he fell to his knees and said:
"I surrender."
