INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything

"How are you, Mr. Daniel Docks?"

Hearing the name, the unknown hooded person called him which only made him more certain that the person beside him was here for his bounty.

Delmar was even more cautious of the hooded man than the beast that was standing guard behind. Because if the beast itself was so strong then how strong would it's master be?

Delmar quickly took a look at his environment to see if he was surrounded by the so-called 'Bounty Hunters' or not. But he couldn't find anything that looked suspicious.

Looking at the scene, he could only think of two scenarios that were going to happen to him.

First, He truly was surrounded but couldn't see or sense any of the attackers because of their high stealth skills.

Or Second, He wasn't surrounded at all as he saw and the two strange beings next to him were either foolish or brave enough to take him on.

In both of the scenarios, he preferred the first one more than the second. Because if it was the first then the people had higher skills in assassination techniques and less close hand to hand combat.

Which with his high close range skills and high constitution he could take care off. But if it was the second one then…

The person was strong enough to think that he with just his beast could take on a most wanted man. And the beast too had strength that would be problematic even on its own.

So Delmar looked at the scenes and carefully thought of his next move as he said.

"So… You wanna do this over here?"

The hooded man was silent for a moment before he said.

"What if I am, Tell me what would you do next?" The hooded man said with a mocking tone.

"Then why waste any more time then, Let's do this." Delmar said as he clenched his fists tightly as a red aura started to surround them. And as he readied himself for the battle ahead the hooded person in front of him did something strange.

The hooded person started laughing like he saw the funniest thing ever.

Delmar didn't get heads or tails at the situation as he asked.

"What the f*ck is so funny?"

"The expression you're making right now. To think that you would be so easily scared by such a small confrontation." The hooded person laughed for a moment before he replied.

Delmar only got more angry as he looked at the hooded guy laughing at him and said with anger.

"All right enough with the bullshit let's fight already and then we'll see if you'll be able to laugh like that again."

The hooded person held both his hands up in a motion that suggested surrender and said "Wait, wait, wait. It was a joke, dude. Don't get so aggressive all of a sudden."

"A Joke? You just tried to assault me and you say that this was a f*cking joke, you got to be bulls*itting me."

Delmar said and actually prepared to launch his fists on the hooded guy. He didn't care if the guy was joking with him or not, He didn't like being made a fool like this.

Clawdia, feeling the excessive aggression coming from the bald human in front of her, started to release her partial aura on him. She wanted to use more of her pressure on him but didn't as her master already had instructed her to not do anything overly excessive.

Delmar immediately felt the pressure of a level SIX Peak rank beasts aura over him. The aura felt so bestial and chaotic that he had huge problems trying to hold onto his own strength but he still met head on with it.

But even if the aura pressurized upon him was only partial, it was still an aura from a peak rank beast of the sixth level. And Delmar couldn't hold much candle to it as he started to lower himself because of the increased gravity until he was on his knees.

The pressure was starting to become so much that Delmar was going to faint in a few moments and as he was just about to, The hooded person stopped his beast.

"Enough! You can stop it now."

The beast, hearing the command of its master immediately stopped what it was doing and stepped back as the pressure got lifted off from Delmar and he fell upon the floor and gasped for air.

The hooded person walked closer to him and kneeled down as he leaned closer to his ear and said to him.

"I know that I might have come on you a little aggressively and joked while it wasn't quite… fair to you. Still you really shouldn't underestimate someone just because he's hiding his face."

"Nor should you think of yourself too strong a person that could take on whoever he wants and come out unscathed."

Delmar didn't say anything as he was still gasping for air and because the hooded person was correct.

The hooded person nodded as he saw that there was some sense on the bone-weary man on the floor and got up and started to leave.

Delmar saw that the very strange and strong man started to leave and he sighed in relief but only to get more confused as he heard him say.

"Well then come on we have a place to go."

"Wh-What! wh-Why would I g-go wit-with you?" Delmar said in short breaths as he tried to get a hold of himself.

"Because I am your escort, Mister Delmar." The hooded man looked back at him and he could see a smile on him through the small gap in his robe.

"What!!!"

[ A few moments later ]

After Delmar had stabilized himself, he went with the hooded man.

Delmar looked at the hooded man multiple times and as he couldn't hold it in anymore, he said "Why did you do that?"

"What?" The hooded man tried to feign ignorance.

"You know what?" Delmar deadpanned at the man.

"Hehehe, I just thought that it might be funny to do that. But I didn't think you would react that way. If I knew that you would do that then I would have…" Delmar for the hooded man to apologize to him.

"I would have tried to take it up a notch." The hooded man said with a hint of mischief in his tone which made Delmar only deadpan more.

Delmar didn't want to talk with him but his curiosity got to him.

"Who are you?... and what is that?" Delmar said, pointing a finger to the beast who ignored Delmar the whole way.

"All will be answered when we come to our destination." The hooded man said to him with a mysterious tone but Delmar knew that the man was just f*cking with him.

They talked like this until they came upon a taxi that was waiting for them and as Delmar saw that he said with a strange tone.

"Is that our vehicle?"

"No… well yes. For the time being as I thought it would be wise to get a cab for more… discretion."

Delmar didn't say anything and went to open the trunk and the hooded man tried to stop him as he saw that.

"Wai-Wai- Wait." But he couldn't as Delmar opened the trunk and looked at what was inside it.

He saw that the trunk was filled with all kinds of food that ranged from meat to junk foods. He looked towards the hooded guy who was silent for a while before he answered.

"... It's for Discretion."
