Bab 280: Sigh, should I really be doing this? (Part two)

"Daarc, a humble first-class adventurer." I made a slight bow and met his glare.

"First-class you say? And humble?" He snickered. "Check him." He nodded to one of his men and a soldier came near me. I handed him my card and he nodded back at the baron before giving it back to me. "What are you doing with one of our men?"

Technically, this girl was a woman though. 

"She was being attacked by a monster and I happened to be nearby. She has bought my services and since I was heading to the capital anyway, I accepted." I kept it short. I was here in undercover, kind of. 

"You must one of the new recruits then." He cleared his throat. "How much is she paying you?"

I had a bad feeling about all this. I could literally see where this was going and I didn't like it. "100 Xylax gold." It was fifty though.
