Chapter 20 - 20: Scammer's Revenge

"Milleth Rob, a woman in her early twenties and an E rank adventurer. Has the nickname 'Newbie's Nightmare'. Notorious for her acts of deceiving naive and innocent newcomers. After robbing them of their money, she would 'kindly' lend them some with a high-interest rate causing the newbies to fall into endless debt"

Rhash narrated as if he knew exactly what kind of person Milleth is. In fact, he really did know some information about her

In Rhash's dreams, when the still naive Reif entered the Mesha City, he fell into Milleth's scheme

This woman after seeing the air of naivety around Reif made the poor guy her next target

She used the same tactic she just used. Milleth acted kindly and briefed Reif of the common knowledge that he should know while inside the Mesha City

However, at that time, Reif already has some control over his powers and it makes his senses strong

Milleth was caught in the act but instead of paying for her crime, it was Reif that suffered

Milleth was the one that tried to rob Reif but Reif was framed by her

She also reversed the situation and make it so that Reif framed her for stealing to gain some money from her

Reif naturally became furious at that. His power was extremely unstable at that time and as a result, his chaos power went berserk hurting a lot of people around

In Mesha City, killing is prohibited or at least killing in the light where many people can see it

Thus, Reif was detained by the authorities for his actions of attempted murder. He was thrown into prison and lived another hard life even though he just wants to start a new and peaceful life in Mesha City

This is one of the reasons why Rhash thinks that the world wants Reif to be a villain

Just how high is the chance for someone that enters a new city to be immediately framed and sent into prison? It was as if someone was pulling the strings behind

In this life, Rhash would never let Milleth hurt his little gem

"30 silvers or you go in prison" Rhash said coldly not minding Reif's words. Later, his gem would realize the reason for his actions

Although Rhash wants to kill Milleth, he can't do that today where there are a lot of eyes staring at him

Since he can't do that, might as well profit from this. After all, if Milleth did go into prison, how can Rhash kill her?

"Little Brother... 30 silvers is too much. I really don't have that much money and this is just a misunderstanding"

Although Rhash already caught her, Milleth still acted innocently. She even pitifully looks at Reif to gain the kid's sympathy

"B-Big Brother..." Reif called out again and Rhash looks at him

"Do you trust me?" Rhash asked and Reif instantly nodded his head

"That's good. Just sit down and I'll deal with this"

Although Reif feels pity for Milleth, his Big Brother is still the most important person for him. He cannot disobey Rhash

Not to mention, it would feel like he doesn't trust Rhash if he interfered again

Without a choice, Reif can only obediently return to his seat after giving Milleth an apologetic look

"Last chance, 30 silvers. I won't ask again" Rhash said coldly. His tone was filled with finality and that is when Milleth realizes that she really kicked an iron wall

She can feel that this is really the last chance. With how many people Milleth scammed, how could they let her be? They would surely kick her when she is already down

Without a choice, Milleth can only take out 30 silvers and she gave it to Rhash while feeling a deep pain in her heart

But as long as she is still free, there would be chances for revenge in the future!

After getting his silvers, Rhash stops gripping the woman's wrist as he looks at her like she is not a human

"Scram and don't let me see you again" Rhash said harshly and Milleth can only drag her body away while vowing that she would take her revenge

"Sorry to ruin your appetite. You'll realize later why I did that, alright?" Rhash said warmly and since Reif wholeheartedly trust him, the little kid nodded his head

Rhash's presence makes Reif easily forget the earlier ugly incident and the two happily ate again

Since this is both their first time in a City, Rhash toured it with Reif first. They went into several places that are new to their eyes

Reif has always been smiling for the whole day and Rhash can't help but smile at that too

It was already late at night when they decided to stop and find an inn to stay with

Along the way, Rhash lowered his head to whisper something at Reif. At first, Reif's body stiffened at that before he released a low giggle as if Rhash told him a joke

After some time, the two seems to be they are lost and 'accidentally' made a turn in a dark alley where no one can be seen

Reif was shaking due to how dark the place was but Rhash tightly holds his hand to reassure him

Just as Rhash expected, they were suddenly surrounded by five men each from the front and back

All these men have a fierce expression on their faces and they look like some street gangsters

However, gangsters in this world were scarier than the gangster on earth. After all, people here can use magic

"Yo, yo, yo look what we got here" one of the gangsters said while smiling wickedly but Rhash faces him without any fear

"What do you want?" Rhash asked coldly and the gangster grinned

"We're here to teach you a lesson. Sometimes, you can only let someone rob you. You shouldn't be the one doing the robbing"

With that, it was already clear why these men are here. For Milleth to scam a lot of newbies and force them to pay the money they 'borrowed' with high interest, her power alone is not enough

She was backed by a small group of local gangsters. Thus, the newbies that don't have much strength can only do their best to repay the money they borrowed as much as they can

If not, these gangsters would give them trouble and they might even die in the process

"You see now, Reif? You can't trust everyone in this world and you can't also judge anyone by their looks. They are part of Milleth's group and they are here for revenge even though they are the ones that tried to harm us first"

Rhash turned into a devil as he whispered into Reif's ears. This would make the kid have a hard time trusting other people but that is better than getting betrayed

Reif was saddened by this development and he held his Brother's hand tighter than before

"Big Brother, I understand now. I want to treat her with kindness but she has this kind of plan towards us. From now on, whoever Big Brother trust is the only one that Reif will trust"

The tragic events that happened at Reif starting from his abusive childhood along with Rhash's evil whisper are already taking effect

Since the world badly wants a villain then a villain would be born!

"That's good then I guess you can take care of them on your own, right?" Rhash asked while rubbing Reif's head and the kid took a deep breath before nodding his head

"Hahaha! Take care of us? What foul mouths you two have! Boys, teach them a lesson!"

The gangsters immediately charged at the two kids with the intention to 'teach them a lesson'

That causes Reif's eyes to darken. The scene where Rhash was harmed a month ago entered his mind and he can't let anyone hurt his Big Brother again

A wave of power immediately swept into the gangsters' bodies and they felt as if a mountain was being heavily pressed into their shoulders

After all the training he had, Reif can now control one of his signature powers and that is gravity manipulation!

The more special a certain type of magic is, the harder it is to learn them. Gravity Magic is one of the innate magic that can be said to be special

Those that can use it by instincts are truly blessed with immense power as it was extremely hard to study

Although Reif's power is still immatured, he still managed to force the gangsters to their knees

What a joke! A monstrous genius like Reif already trained for several months. If he can't even deal with F and E Rank adventurers with ease, how did he become the strongest existence in this world?

Even Nath, the so-called Son of God only managed to kill Reif all because of his 'righteous' allies

If the two were to fought one on one, no doubt that it would be Reif that will win

Thus, the gangsters' were immediately reduced into a pathetic state wherein they don't even have the strength to resist Reif's powe
