Could it be that someone from the Land of Chaos was also a cultist?

Shaking his head, James stopped thinking about such things.

Putting away the strange book that he could not understand, he packed Gentleman Will’s books of holy spells and headed for Saint Laurent City.

Kurifin and Hariel came from the Land of Chaos, and they seemed to belong to an organisation.

He did not dare to imagine just how terrifying an organization from the Land of Chaos was.

To prevent any accidents from happening again, he decided to return to Saint Laurent City as soon as possible.

After all, no matter how rampant the people in the Land of Chaos were, with their current strength, they still didn’t dare to directly enter the city.

If that happened, they would incur the wrath of the Empire.

If the Empire decided to eliminate them…

They could do so if they paid the price.

It was just that the Empire was unwilling to pay this price.

When James returned to Saint Laurent City…

He went directly to the Adventurer’s Guild to hand over the mission.

Then, he was told to wait for Gentleman Will to arrive.

After all, the owner had to come and personally check the collection of holy spell books before the mission was complete.

He did not wait for too long at the Adventurers Guild when a man in a gray suit holding an expensive cane pushed the door open and walked in.

The moment James saw the man, he was certain that he was Gentleman Will.

After all, no adventurer would dress up so exquisitely in the Guild Hall.

Sure enough, the man walked up to James.

Then, he said to him, “Hello, are you the adventurer who accepted the request?”

“Yes!”

James nodded slightly.

“Since I could meet you here, this means that the mission has been completed perfectly. Can I take a look at my holy spell books?”

His voice sounded surprised and anxious.

“Of course!” James smiled. Then, he took the big package beside him and opened it.

It was filled with books and looked extremely gorgeous.

Gentleman Will’s eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure when he saw his books placed in a dusty cloth bag.

However, he didn’t say anything because of his noble upbringing.

Even if the Gentleman was only the lowest-leveled noble in the Empire!

Soon, Gentleman Will finished counting all the books.

Not a single book was missing!

It seemed that this adventurer had done well.

Gentleman Will nodded.

Then, he asked curiously, “Did something happen during this mission? Why aren’t my butler and maids here?”

He was puzzled.

The Adventurer’s Guild had informed him that the mission was completed.

He had thought that his butler and maids would be waiting for him at the Adventurer’s Guild, but there was no one there.

Hearing his question, James raised his hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of his eyes and said sadly, “We met bandits on the way back!”

“The other party was too big, so I could only bring back your holy spell books. As for your butler and servants…”

His sorrow seemed to be real, but this was just James acting.

He could not possibly say that the butler was actually a spy from the Land of Chaos, right?

James didn’t continue, but from his words and his sorrowful expression…

The butler and the servants had naturally been killed by the bandits!

“Oh, really? That’s really sad!”

Gentleman Will simply said this but did not continue.

Instead, he packed all the books and left the Adventurer’s Guild straightaway.

James watched him as he left and his heart was filled with disdain for these nobles.

As expected of the nobles of the Empire.

They were indeed cold-blooded people. After all, that butler had lived with him for three years.

However, Gentleman Will did not even feel sad when he heard that his servants had been killed by bandits.

He was not even willing to act sad.

However, none of this had anything to do with James.

After all, he was only responsible for completing the mission.

He then received the commission for this mission —a Silver Coin!

He had also obtained an additional reward from the mission — a book with unknown powers. Then, he headed home.

The mission this time had been delayed because of the unexpected accident.

Thus, it was much later than he had expected to go home. He wondered whether something had happened back home.

He wondered if Elise could handle an unexpected situation alone!

Just as James completed his mission, outside Saint Laurent City…

At the place where Hariel and Kurifin died…

Two mysterious people arrived and saw the mess. A trace of astonishment flashed past their eyes.

Then, both of them started searching.

After finding the corpses of Hariel, Kurifin, and Burke, one of them said in a low voice, “It looks like an accident occurred during this mission!”

“That’s right, that treasure is also missing!”

“Do you think the other powers from the Land of Chaos took action?”

“It’s possible. But if that’s the case, then we are in big trouble…”

…

James had just reached the front door of his house when he saw a beautiful young woman with golden hair laboriously carrying a wooden bucket.

The bucket was filled with washed clothes.

When the young girl saw James, she was stunned for a while.

Then she dropped the wooden bucket in her hands and ran quickly to James.

“Mr. James, how was the mission?”

Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

Looking at Elise’s expectant gaze, James pinched her cheeks.

Then, he pulled out a shiny coin from his pocket.

It was a Silver Coin!

The young girl cheered the moment she saw this Silver Coin.

“That’s great, Mr. James. Congratulations on completing your first adventurer mission!”

James smiled. Then, he turned her body around.

“Elise, do you see that wooden bucket?”

“Go hang all the clothes in the bucket right now!”

“Then, come with me to the market later to buy ingredients! We’re going to celebrate today!”

Eilis cheered. Then, she hung all the clothes as quickly as she could.

After that, they went to a large market at the borders of Saint Laurent City together.

Even though a Silver Coin was not unremarkable for a mission commision in the Adventurer’s Guild…

In reality, a Silver Coin could cover half of James’s monthly living expenses in this poor and dilapidated city.

This included his rent!

The two bought a lot at the market and made a sumptuous dinner at home.

After eating their fill, James took out a book from his pocket.

The book looked inconspicuous, but it was an additional reward from this mission.

“What— what is this? Sir James?!”

The moment James pulled out the book, Elise felt an ominous force and recoiled in fear.

“This is an additional reward from this mission.”

James smiled.

Then, he explained the entire process of this mission.
