Harvest Inn, the gathering spot for a portion of the lone wolf players .

During dungeon intervals, many players would gather at the place to trade off the spoils of war from the previous dungeons . Most of the deals made were scattered but when some Rare items appeared in the inn, bigger dealing ranges would take form .

The only exception was whenever Lemour the Alchemist appeared in the inn .

Fortunately, the alcoholic alchemist wasn"t in the Harvest Inn that day .

Lawless who always lingered in the inn wasn"t present either .

After sending a message to Lawless, Kieran glanced over the handful of customers in the inn .

Rachel, the owner was behind the bar counter, wiping her gla.s.ses . Her blonde hair shone brilliantly under the lights, even her purple bib pants and white s.h.i.+rt were reflecting the lights, making her look very energetic and experienced with an added layer of exoticness .

Though, the usual lone wolf players of the inn knew the true nature of the female owner . No one dared to take an extra look at her as they turned their head down, minding their own business .

Therefore, none of them saw Rachel"s absent-minded state when Kieran walked in .

"Crow…" Rachel mumbled like a fly"s buzz and stared at Kieran blankly .

The black figure plus the new Fire Raven on his left shoulder converged with the image in her memories buried deep in her heart which she still hadn"t forgotten .

"Hey, Rachel!" Kieran reached out to greet her .

"Hmm!"

Rachel replied with a cold tone and tilted her head down in silence . She looked like she was wiping the gla.s.ses but the white linen cloth in her hands had completely stopped working .

Rachel then turned around, showing her back to Kieran . Droplets of water started to wet the white linen cloth in her hands .

Kieran was looking at the scene awkwardly as he touched his nose .

He couldn"t be as reckless and carefree as when he was with Lawless though . Although Kieran acknowledged Rachel as a friend, the difference between man and woman prevented Kieran to act naturally like he did with Lawless .

Kieran knew that he wasn"t skilled in handling such a situation, so he directly went over to Raven sitting in the other corner .

"A decent companion!"

Raven said after inspecting the Fire Raven on Kieran"s shoulder .

It was the first thing Raven said when Kieran sat down, however, Kieran went directly to the point . "Where"s the player selling the companion contract?"

Since he stepped into Harvest Inn, Kieran glanced over the available players at the place .

Other than Raven, there were couple more lone wolf players yet none of them were showing items to trade or screenshots of items .

"There!"

Raven pointed at the other corner of the inn without any wasteful words and continued caressing the cat in his arms with his head down .

Kieran carefully observed the cat in Raven"s arms but it was just a stray cat of the big city, there was nothing special about it .

Raven then went quiet again . It also added another layer of understanding to Kieran"s impression of the t.i.tle Loner .

Kieran then went over to the direction that Raven pointed without caring whether the person at the other corner saw him or not .

Harvest Inn wasn"t big by any means . It would only take a few big steps to reach the other corner .

As Kieran went over to the potential seller, he pulled out the chair of his table and sat down .

"You have the companion contract?"

"Hmm . "

The player nodded and pulled out a screenshot .

[Name: Companion Contract]

[Type: Contract]

[Rarity: Magic]

[Attribute: Form a contract with any life form that fits the regulations, to become your companion and fight with you . (Doesn"t include natives)]

[Prerequisite: None]

[Remark: You can choose any life form within the regulations, cats, dogs, even birds . As long as you aren"t afraid of their death!]

. . . .

Below the screenshot was a price tag of 100,000 Points . An optimal price on the market .

Kieran glanced over the [Companion Contract] and sent out a trade request before placing his eyes on the player himself .

A camouflage bulletproof vest with a big handgun at his waist, the gun model was concealed but it should be a unique one . Under the vest was a military outfit, together with, multi-purpose military pants plus a pair of military boots .

If it wasn"t for that big handgun, the person would look like a newbie player that had just purchased a set of armor from the system shop .

"Disguise? Or something else that I don"t know off?" Kieran wondered after his habitual commentating .

Surprisingly, the player rejected the trade request .

"2567?" The player asked .

Even though with a covered face, Kieran could pick up the disdainful tone from his words and tone .

Kieran raised a brow and kept quiet, waiting for a follow-up reaction .

"I, General will never sell things to anyone who is related to that fricking b.a.s.t.a.r.d Lawless!" He said .

General? Kieran suddenly went into deep thoughts, and moments later he recalled the conversation that he had with Lawless before .

"General? That business grabbing p.r.i.c.k hasn"t died yet? That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is a business compet.i.tor in my mercenary business . Not too strong, though his reputation was guaranteed!"

As the conversation floated in Kieran"s mind, he knew this trade was off .

Lawless wasn"t a saint, he too had friends and enemies .

Kieran and Lawless were friends and General before him wasn"t really Lawless"s enemy but definitely a rival .

Even though both of them hadn"t reached the fighting stages, sneering and mocking between the two was inevitable .

The enemy of my enemy is my friend .

So what would the rival of my friend be?

Enemy! Without a doubt!

Kieran stood up and walked off without a second thought .

Kieran never had the intentions of staying on and try to work on the deal either .

While enjoying the convenience that Lawless brought him, would he still wish for Lawless"s rival to have a decent conversation with him?

Kieran wasn"t that naive nor did he have a thick face .

Since the deal was off, Kieran didn"t plan on staying in Harvest Inn for long .

He would leave the place after he greeted Rachel again . Though before Kieran could utter a word, Rachel presented him with a gla.s.s of wine .

[Name: Orange Light Sorante]

[Type: Wine]

[Rarity: Fresh]

[Attribute: Recover 100 HP within 10 seconds, recovery rate increased by +100%]

[Prerequisite: None]

[Remark: This is a special c.o.c.ktail cooked up by Rachel, the taste is nothing special but it has a special effect!]

. . .

Kieran took up the gla.s.s of c.o.c.ktail and looked at Rachel with a confused face .

"Drink it! It"s good for you!" Rachel said softly .

"Do I have a choice?" Kieran smiled and toasted his gla.s.s .

With much experience in talking with Rachel, when she spoke with such a tone, it was definitely a serious one, so it would be best for Kieran to play along .

More so, Kieran believed that Rachel wouldn"t hurt him .

So, bottoms up!

The wine in the gla.s.s was a little harsh on the smell but it tasted sour and sweet and wasn"t as spicy as it smelled .

"A little fruit j…"

Before the word "juice" could escape his mouth, Kieran plunged his head on to the wine bar as snores echoed the area .

Just before Kieran fell asleep, the system notification popped up before him .

[Player consumed Osiris Brew…]
