Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Chapter 22 Hurdle Of Wits 4...



Carrying around a blue beast core was the same thing as carrying around ten thousand dollars.

Beast cores were not exactly easy to acquire.

The higher the beast's core, the more dangerous the beast. A blue beast core depending on its quality was equivalent to a copper-ranked cultivator. That was the same as an elder in this clan.

Most times, depending on the strength of the beast, even though it was a blue-core beast, it would take several copper-ranked cultivators to bring it down. There was also another issue that was common knowledge to everyone.

Most blue-core beasts were bosses of their areas or regions. This meant that getting one meant fighting thousands of yellow Cored beasts and about a hundred green-core beasts.

By the time one even made it to the Blue core beast, the cultivator or cultivators would have already become exhausted. Therefore blue cores were very valuable.

Aleen having five Blue Cores saved up for his son's cultivation showed how rich and strong a man he was.

Chiron had just shown Bama one of those valuable blue cores.

Even a decent man would be tempted to either steal it to trick it out of the hands of a seven-year-old. It was only natural that this merchant with his ever-sensitive antennae for money could not resist.

In Chiron's mind, he smiled at the fat man's suggestion, but he had to act otherwise.

"My Master Elder's Blue CORE!?" Chiron shook his head vigorously, "Please, Mr. Bama, I can't possibly do that. What If I lost? MY Master Elder would kill me and then come kill you. Please forgive me. It's just too much risk for me to take."

Chiron shook his head in rejection.

"Isekai-novel, my good friend. I understand what you mean," Bama stood up from his seat and patted Chiron on the back, Comforting him. "You see, I know what's it's like being a slave to an elder. It's not easy at all, but once in a while, one must take risks. This is how we get our way with things." Bama gave the brightest smile he could summon.

"You know what? Why don't we do it like this? We will add a no snitching agreement to the contract. That way no one will know. On top of that, I will even add a hundred yellow beast cores to you if you win."

Chiron pretended to be deep in thought. This was a reaction Bama expected. After a while, Bama decided to throw out the last bone. He was sure Chiron could not resist.

"You know what? Although I just met you, I can tell that you are a really good boy. Why don't I add an extra green beast core to make it worth your while?"

Chiron's eyes suddenly shone, but his mind was still weighing out his options.

"That should be enough contemplating for now," Chiron thought to himself, "I shouldn't push him too much lest he takes back his offer."

Chiron turned to him and smiled, "Okay! But I have two conditions."

"Sure! Sure!! What are your conditions?" Bama asked.

"Firstly, I want the cores to be Aura beast cores, and secondly, I want you to owe me one request if I ever need it."

Bama frowned a bit. Although promising Chiron Aura beast cores was not a problem, he really did not understand what a seven-year-old was doing with them. After all, they did not have much value in this part of the world.

Chiron's request was the same thing as asking for foreign currency in a land where it had no value.

Secondly, Bama was a merchant. They did not give out promises or favors easily.

However, Chiron knew this. He once again mistakenly dropped the blue beast core on the ground.

The shiny blue core was the catalyst to Bama's greed and the fat man agreed.

Bama immediately opened one of his drawers and brought out a blood seal. The agreement to the contract was clearly written on it. Bama the merchant, without wasting any more time immediately took a knife to his skin and let a drop of blood fall on the contract.

The seal glowed in a slight red as the blood dissolved in it. He offered the knife to Chiron, however, Chiron did not need it. To the surprise of the Merchant, Chiron bit his finger and let several drops of blood fall on the contract.

This move actually took Bama by surprise. He could not think of any boy Chiron's age that could do what he had just seen Chiron doing. In fact, many of them would cry to their mummies for mistakenly falling on the ground.

But Chiron had just self-harmed in front of him like it was nothing. In fact, Bama did not think he could bite his own flesh the same way the young man before him just did.

If only he knew what Chiron had done to himself before just for survival, he would definitely freak out.

The seal glowed blood red and then it suddenly tore into two entering through the heads of both of them.

Chiron suddenly got an alert in his head.

>>Congratulations Host for Forming a blood Pact<<

>>Host has two more slots for blood pacts remaining<<

>>Does Host want to nullify restrictions of Blood Pact<<

>>Yes/No<<

These alerts came as a surprise to him. Chiron did not know that the Fate Change system was sensitive to Blood Pacts. What's more, the system even had the ability to nullify Blood pacts. This was excellent news for Chiron. This could come in very handy in the future of his plans.

He willed 'No' in his mind and the alerts disappeared from his view. This was the first time he was seeing this. At the moment, he could feel the restrictions of the blood seal in his body. He knew that Bama could also feel it.

As much as he wanted to test out removing the seal, he was not sure of its effects on the opposite party.

Bama had a big smile on his face and so did Chiron.

Chiron knew that his next move was going to hurt this man's feelings, but he could care less. In fact, he wanted to watch and enjoy the show.

He brought out a list and handed it over to the man. "This is a list of the herbs and plants my master elder ordered me to get."

Bama collected the list while his mind already imagined that blue beast core inside his pocket. As far as he was concerned, it was as good as his.

The list Chiron gave, had a long list of items. It was far beyond what he actually wanted or needed. But that was not all. Chiron had written this list with exotic items in mind. He was very sure that most of the items on that list were not even on this continent.

At first, Bama saw ingredients he was familiar with and his smile got bigger and brighter. However, he suddenly frowned...
