Chapter 15: Deal?
Nix opened his eyes, washed his face, and got himself set to be escorted out of the city. Reegan was ready with his things packed to set out on the journey along with him. Nix noticed him getting ready and opened his mouth.
"Reegan If you team up with me you will be declared as an outlaw too. So the risk and the choice are yours to take. Think twice before making this decision."
"Nah! bro you are boring I already know about all those things and I think it will be fun."
"Thud"
Nix punched straight on his face and Reegan fell to the floor losing his balance. He collapsed on the floor and gaped up at Nix while wiping his bleeding mouth with a smile.
"Damn bro, that was cool but, Why did you hit me?"
"You crazy shit! You are not realizing how serious becoming an outlaw is."
An Outlaw is a person who is marked as a criminal and cannot enter into cities governed by certain Royal dynasties but, it is not much of a thing unless they try to verify or check you when you are in a city.
But, there is a big problem, though, if they get identified they will immediately get executed, imprisoned, or punished. They can't get an assistant angel assigned for them who will help outsiders and most importantly they cannot get a level up from gods. At least that was what Nix currently knew.
"Yes I know, but I will ask you again and it's your choice. I may want to join you because I want to have some fun and thrill but I will be a trustable comrade, so answer me don't you feel like you need my help? By the way, I have personal reasons too"
Now it's all about his decision-making. If he let him go now. He can't get any crazy loyal guy like him.
'First, let me check his information.'

'Damn! Loyal and devoted plus two class abilities and special ability and those Particularities and that Singularity is something else.'
He began contemplating.
'I think he will be useful, and I want to fucking enact my revenge. So, I think getting an ally by my side will be good, I think?... I didn't do anything wrong to deserve this... Why are they making me suffer? Is this what Dark Nix wanted to say "be wary of g...." ~Gods?'
Nix gave his hand for him to stand up again with a smile.
"Hmm I have a condition I will take you in my team and will show you the thrill you need.You can follow me but, there is this one problem. I need you to be a normal citizen. I don't want you to become an Outlaw. You should go to a different city and become stronger... Until I reach out for. I need an ally in the regular factions." and continued.
"I am going to destroy this city's government and fuck that knight bitch who engraved me as an outlaw. So, what do you say? Deal?."
Nix smiled at him with his hand out waiting for him to strike the deal with a handshake.
"Damn That's how I wanted to see you! All-fired up! Alright mate, I am on your side."
They shook hands and started getting ready.
Nagendra, Sonali, and Shreya got into the room with a sad face.
'Seriously? These people what can they even do? They'll feel sad. Then what? Nothing! That's all powerless people like us can do. Dammit, I feel helpless right now. I want to see my Family. I needed to reduce our financial burden and I wanted to lead a good life and I didn't get to do what I desired to do... Fuck my life!'
With plenty of thoughts running inside his head, he just gave everybody a slight hug with a smile and went out like he was actually going to die. If he needed to say that somebody was feeling truly sorry and sad for him, it was Shreya. She embraced him tightly with teary eyes and she seemed sincerely sorry for him.
'Ah, this is making me feel... It's embarrassing but it's alright. There is somebody who truly worries about me huh?'
He gazed at her and opened his mouth.
"uhh, Shreya can you let me go now I have to go now?"
"Uhm, yes-yes" She nodded.
The Knight Rebecca came in and handcuffed him with his hands backward. Nix gazed at Reegan and he smiled back at him, so Nix beamed back.
"Yo, just feel fortunate that You are getting escorted by a hot lady."
"Well not everybody can get the chance, to be escorted by a beautiful maiden" Nix replied playfully.
"Looks like you stoned your heart with strong resolve. My-My Such a charming man. And you" she turned towards Reegan " If you want. You can have the same fun so, wanna join your outlaw friend?"
"Nah Am good."Reegan replied with a smirk.
"hmm, good boy"
And they began walking. After a walk for a while, Nix got thrown toward a Cage type carriage and the animals which were tied to pull the carriage were different than what you can see on earth because the animals resembled horses but it had four holes on the sides by the place where lungs are supposed to be at. It closed and opened when it inhaled and exhaled.
'What the hell?"
Nix was in awe and pondered about this world's creature. He was not able to comprehend anything but, for now, he decided to go with the flow.
He looked at Rebecca who held his chain like a leash.
'Now let's check her information.'
[Private ability-Truth eye is activated.]
He stared at her.
[Information of the target cannot be accessed due to the low rank of the ability.]
'What?'
She seemed to notice his gaze she smiled as she saw a red glint in his eyes.
"Did you try something, Mister Nix?"
" " He decided to not answer.
"Now Mr. Nix what will you do after having your revenge?"
"Hmm What would I do? After having revenge...Obviously, I will go on a date with a beautiful lady like you. Won't you go on a date with me?" Nix replied playfully while peering at her breasts.
She smirked "Acting all cocky now huh? You are somehow giving out a different vibe than yesterday, now that I think about it. And this attitude is quite amusing."
"hmm so, what about the date? Trying to change the topic? why are women like this I wonder?"
"Sure when you come back, we will go on a date," She replied to him with a smile teasingly.
"huh?" Nix was dumbfounded he didn't expect that she would be friendly because he tried to make her feel annoyed.
"hahaha look at your face, did you really believe it? Anyway, I don't have anything to feel hostile towards you. I am doing my job as a knight. I will tell you something. Outlaws can become strong and powerful too and can level up too with the help of Corrupted gods." and added,
"oh, I forgot! Here is your hidden blade gauntlet just like I promised, Now I have given you one weapon to survive."
She threw the gauntlet to Nix and caught it and chose to wear it immediately. To be honest it wasn't even right to call it a weapon but, yes it can be used as a weapon but from Nix's point of view he wasn't skillful in using it but rather than being weaponless he decided to take it.
'Corrupted gods who are they? so I still have hope?' He pondered.
"Madam Rebecca, are you seriously giving information to the 'Enemy of Ranrak now'?" Nix replied with a smile.
"It's not like I gave you secret information, every outlaw level up with the help of corrupted gods and It is well known among the Empyreans except newly entered outsiders like you. In fact, you could have known more about Empyrean more, If you were in the lodge."
"badoom doom boom!"
Suddenly big explosion sounds started to hear. Rebecca tried to check by peeking out of the window following her, Nix tried to glimpse out of the window.
She unsheathed her sword and placed her sword on her shoulder and grinned at Nix.
"Looks like your friends are here."
"My friends?"
"Yea, your fellow outlaws" She replied to him and opened the door of the carriage.
"boooommm"
An explosion occurred as soon as she opened the door Nix's jaw dropped as he got a glimpse of what was happening.
"Don't try to move or get out." she tied him with the carriage and jumped out.
