10 Their Demand

Viktor was surrounded by a group of people suddenly.

A man came in front and asked him,

"Are you Viktor?"

He asked with a very rough voice. Like he was screaming and arguing for a long time before he came here.

"And what would you do if I tell you that I am Viktor?"

"My boss wants you to come with us"

"Who's your boss may I ask?"

He was surprised to see they came here without any proper clue.

"That is something you will see when you get there ."

"What if I say I don't want to go."

-I came here a few days ago. And the problems are already starting. Tsk! I should've used a mask when I sold the potion.

The man said, "Then we have no choice but to take you by force. "

-Did the old man sell my data? No no no, he's not like that. Or did someone saw us doing business? That must be the case.

"I see. Then tell me something, does he have any intention to harm me? "

They looked at each other and discussed something among themselves.

-I can clearly hear you whispering from his far -_-. You people are not even sure why your boss ordered you to escort me to him.

"No, our boss just wants to talk with you. That's it."

"Alright, I have to get my shoes then ",

He smiled and everyone looked at his feet and it was empty. Pale feet were showing off the dark ground, it looked like it was emitting light itself.

He knew the person he was going to see was no one but the third male lead's mother. She is a great woman, the vice commander of the royal knights. She was a genius in the business field. A woman of more than ten successful businesses. But she was a commoner.

Even so, she was popular among the nobles despite her common background.

The reason why she is calling for Viktor was to ask what kind of cure he has sold to the old man. Viktor already knew this would happen

So he packed a stick in his left crest. Because a stick was the only weapon he had.

"Oh, I see, then go quickly. We don't have much time."

The man said and Viktor get on the horse with the man he was talking to.

-Hah! My butt hurts.

After 20 minutes of horse ride, they reached a big house in the mountains far away from any people. It was an isolated house behind a big mountain. If someone screams on the top of his lung, he cannot be heard from afar.

"We're here, get down," the man said.

"Is your boss inside the house?" Viktor asked.

"Yes, our boss is inside, let's go."

As soon as Viktor went inside, he could feel all those eyes from the ceiling, behind the door, from outside. It felt like they were downloading his face and movement in their head just by staring at him.

"I feel ticklish all over my body. "

-I should've worn my mask before coming here.

The man in cape and mask opened the door and told Viktor to go inside.

He went inside a dark room and suddenly the door closed.

He was all alone in a dark room.

-It doesn't matter how dark this place is, I can feel those assassins glued on the wall and ceiling like spiders and small lizards. There are about 20 of them. And a woman on the couch.

So he walked towards her and took a seat right in front of her.

-It's pitch dark but I can see that expression on her face. She's damn scared that I saw her and still looking at her.

"Are you the boss?"

"How can you see me?" She was annoyed that he kept looking right into her eyes.

"I will tell you if you tell those bugs on the wall to leave this place. It's so annoying. "

He smiled while looking at her knight who was in his shadow form.

"You're not an ordinary boy." The knight says.

"Down to business, It's late at night, what do you want from me," Viktor asked the woman.

She was the wife of the merchant, so she's also one. And she was way stronger than her husband.

"The cure, give me its recipe ."

"Cap mushroom and water. "

He know there was a truth skill placed on his seat, so he just told her the truth.

"It's true." The knight says.

"Is that it?"

The lady was surprised.

"Yes, is that what you wanted to know, then I think our negotiation is over. I'd like to leave now."

"Wait."

She stopped him when he was about to stand up.

"I will bring some cap mushrooms, make that cure right in front of me."

"And If I don't?"

"Then you will lose your life."

"That will be your loss anyway. I have no intention to make any deal with you."

Viktor let his aura off his left-hand crest and it spread a scary bone shaking murderous aura all over the mountains.

All the animals and monsters that were near that house walking around that time died due to the huge pressure.

The knight was the only one who was kneeling and able to stay awake. All the people around the house, also the lady started foaming from her mouth.

"Please spare me. I won't ever mention your name in my life I sware. Please "

He peed in his pants and shamelessly begged for his life.

"You see Karvon, I have huge patience in my head. But if one of your ants came to my place after today. I will wipe out your existence off this planet."

"Yes, we will forget about you. We will never mention you in our lives, not even once. Please forgive us."

Viktor left without saying a word.

...

Somewhere in the imperial palace.

The old man was sitting near the princess, she was given the potion that he bought from Viktor.

Suddenly the door opened and a huge man came in with his knight.

"How's my daughter Alva?"

"Oh, king, you finally came. The antidote I found in my shop is working great. She is feeling all better now. " the old man says.

"Is that so, thank god!! I knew you could cure her!"

"It wasn't me who made the cure, It was someone else." Says old man Alva.

"What? Who made that?" The king was surprised to hear that the greatest alchemists didn't make that cure, it was someone else.

"Tell me who is it, tell me!!" The king shouted because he wanted to see the person who made such a cure.

But the old man refused. Because he doesn't sell information about his customers.

"Listen, Alva, If he was a noble, he would brag about it from a long time ago. And you found it in your shop. So that means, he is a commoner. "

"Hahaha!! You are ruining my business king, I promised that boy that I won't tell anyone about him. But it looks like it's not even a day since I made that promise. "

"Then, Ask that boy about me. If he agrees, I will reward him with something big. But you have to tell him."

"Ok, I will"

-Will he listen to me in the first place?
