The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 8 Poor Audrey

Chapter 8

"3,000 gold coins one, 3,000 gold coins du …." 

"10,000 gold coins." Isabella cuts off Aretha's remarks that will set the price.

Everyone present at the open auction was surprised to hear the price he proposed, even so surprised Aretha to drop the hammer in her hand.

"W-is he crazy? 10,000 gold coins that can be used to spend the night with the best gigolo in the flower house."

"This man is so stupid, he's really costing his money only to a secondhand man."

"But it looks like he's quite rich, look at his clothes! he's a mercenary."

Isabella doesn't care what those fools say about her. He walked towards Aretha. "Is my offer accepted?"

The nervous Aretha could only nod, then she picked up the hammer that was on the floor and knocked on the hammer as a sign of an acceptable offer. Since the auction had ended, everyone present instantly dispersed.

"Come, we make the payment inside" Aretha said, letting Isabella into her house.

After Isabella and Aretha entered, her concubines quickly greeted them. The concubines even avoided tea and some snacks. Though Isabella did not come for a visit, they were too excessive. 

But Isabella was more attentive to Audrey, she looked in pain from being tied up, even Aretha clogged her mouth with a cloth. She had truly been overdue this time, Isabella would not have expected that there was also such a demonic hearted woman in the world.

"So how's the payment?" ask Aretha to open the conversation.

Now Isabella has money on her hands. But he was not going to hand over this money easily, at least he had to make Aretha feel the same way as Audrey currently felt.

"I'm sorry. I'll give you the money tomorrow" replied Isabella and that certainly surprised Aretha.

"If you don't have money then don't …."

"Do you think I'm going to make myself humiliated? I don't have no money, it's just that my salary hasn't gone down today. You can meet me tomorrow morning at the rabbit guild to take the money," he said, cutting off Aretha's words.

"What is the guarantee that you won't lie?"

Isaebla smiled and looked at the jaguar suni she had with her, "I will leave the suni here and will take it tomorrow along with Audrey."

"But …."

"Don't worry madam, you can look for me in that guild. My name is Allred, if you say my name then surely we will meet. I'll wait for you there."

Aretha looked worried. But he still agreed to Isabella.l, so I can go with a feeling of calm.Isabella does not have to worry about Audrey because the jaguar is with her, we just wait for what will happen tomorrow.

After saying goodbye to Aretha, Isabella went into a deserted alley to open her disguise after which she returned home. Don't forget he opened the bag of money that March gave me. When Isabella opened the bag, there was a lot of money in the bag, and there was a piece of paper there.

"This money is 10,000 pieces of gold. I don't know what else to say, so meet me tomorrow at the guild."

That's the content of the paper. Isabella was so surprised it turned out that the money paid to kill one monster could be this much. But given how dangerous the monster was, this payment was indeed worth it. If he kills such a monster every day, Isabella can get rich quick 

Unfortunately this money had to float into Aretha's hands. But no problem, Isabella also did not have the heart to see the state of Audrey. Just look at it tomorrow, he will make Aretha humiliated.

They left with confidence. However, when they wanted to enter the guild, the mercenaries who were in charge of guarding at the door quickly blocked Aretha and her concubines.

"What's this about? why are you blocking us?" ask Aretha who was upset.

"This is not a flower house, you have the wrong address" replied one of the mercenaries.

"What do you mean say something like that to me? I want to meet someone from this guild," explains Aretha.

"You can't go in other than wanting to make a mission request, if not for that then we'll have to expel you."

"I'm here to see Allred. Call him here, he already knows me." Aretha kept forcing her way in.

Since words alone were unable to drive away Aretha, the mercenary knights were forced to act on her. They pulled him and his concubines away from the guild door, not caring even though Aretha and her concubine rebelled.

"Madam they touched me with their dirty hands, do something madam."

"I just took a shower and you guys dared to touch me."

"Subjecting. How dare you guys be against nobles like us."

The hysterical cries of the concubines of Aretha made them a spectacle of many, some even whispering insulting to them.

"What's this?" ask March who came out with Isabella.

"ah! you guys look like." Isabella pretended to be surprised to see Aretha and her concubines.

"I'm sorry, sir. They came because I asked for it," Isabella turned to look at March, March just nodded with a sharp look and she went back inside.

"Why did you just show up? you don't know these wild men have abused my concubines" Aretha said.

"Why blame me? I didn't ask you to come with your concubines, after all they were just doing their duty and they wouldn't be rude if you didn't act like that" replied Isabella who made Aretha speechless.

Isabella took out a bag of money and threw it at Aretha, "That's yours. Remember I'm gonna pick Audrey up this afternoon, you better not touch her or you'll know what's going on."

Aretha clasped tightly to the bag of money and then she left followed by her concubines, Isabella was actually still not satisfied with the commotion that Aretha made earlier. Unfortunately he had to keep this place calm, at least the commotion was enough to help make Aretha a topic of conversation in the village.

After they left, Isabella had to go back inside again to finish the conversation with March. 

"So how? do you want to accept this jewel-level brooch?" tanya March made sure for the 5th time.

But Isabella's answer remains the same, namely rejection. He does not want to appear flashy considering he has not long been a mercenary knight, if he appears striking then there will be many things that can change even though he is disguised as Allred.
