Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
chapter-276-1-30041322

Feeling the bloodlust coming from the shark merman, Daimon stood up from his chair and stood in front of him, making the other nobles realize things were getting out of hands, it was forbidden to fight inside of the hotel, so at most others would verbally fight, but it was clear as day that the black-haired youth wasn't in for a conversation.

"Is he really going to…".

"Well, neo nobles don't respect the founding noble houses, so it's normal for conflicts to explode between them".

The shark guy who was all smiles as moment ago, frowned, the level of nobles in this city besides those from the Blackfin family, was relatively low, so as part of a family that served the royals, he enjoyed the sensation of being in the upper part of the food chain as log as he was far from the capital.

But now he met someone who didn't give a damn about status, a clear sign of the neo noble faction, and things weren't going as he expected

Seeing that things were going south, the other nobles who were sitting with the shark guy stood from their seats and walked towards them, stopping a couple of steps behind him.

In contrast the Risha sisters and Aisha looked at Daimon, but seeing him grinning, they continued eating their breakfast.

Suddenly all the gazes turned to see the manager who arrived at the scene, who knows when.

"Ahem, remember that it is against the rules to fight here".

Listening to the manager interfering, the shark guy contemplated things for a second, before he returned to his smiling expression.

"It's nothing like that Lord Arcarius, I was just trying to advice this little friend who clearly isn't from any of the shark lineages, that the Shark Blood liqueur is too strong for "some" people".

"But apparently my intentions were misunderstood, in my family we settle things with a cup, so how about instead of a fight, we just have a little drinking competition, I happen to have a one liter edition bottle of Shark Blood liqueur which was gifted to me by uncle, that will be my bet, as for that little friend… how about paying for the stay of my group?".

Some of the nobles raised an eyebrow at such a clear try to take advantage of others, those guys stayed at the hotel in group because that way they could split the cost of the room for a large stay, they have been here for about a month just to brag about it later.

The one liter bottles were only to show off, the concentration made them undrinkable for anyone below the peak of the Mortal realm, so it was served to nobles for the taste and that was it, and yet they saw the black-haired youth nodding.

"I'm in".

The manager inwardly let out a sigh of relief, and then he added in to the competition.

"It's rare to see members of the young generation drinking the strongest liqueur available for them, so my Sea Dream hotel will sponsor the bottles used for the competition".

'It's a good way to bury the incident with that idiot city lord', thought the man as he gave some indications to the staff of the restaurant.

A couple of waiters brought a plate which had about ten of the 50 milliliter bottles.

"The current record is half a liter drank in a day, but after that the one who holds the record had to wait about a month to drink again, so I only brought that amount for the two of you, the rule is that the ones who drinks the most of it wins, you must empty a bottle to grab another, any objection?".

Daimon and the shark guy didn't object and with the greenlight of the manager, the competition started.

Both of them grabbed a bottle and drank it in a single go, then repeated two more times, it was then that the shark guy slowed down a bit, he grabbed the fourth bottle and slowly started to drink the content only to spit it in disbelief.

"I-Impossible", he saw Daimon emptying all the bottles in a split of a second, by the time he finished, all the other nobles and even the manager were in awe.

Daimon looked at his body which was literally letting out steam, his blood was literally boiling right now, but it wasn't unpleasant, not for him at least, but the chair in which he was sitting melted.

The manager was about to create a barrier with his mana in case Daimon exploded, but the steam which was actually a known side effect of drinking too much of the Blood Shark liqueur too fast, suddenly vanished, Daimon stood up and glared at the shark guy which was dumbfounded.

"It's over, hand what you betted and get lost".

"What did you…", the shark guy felt insulted but before he could do anything, he felt a shiver running down his spine, the manager was now standing behind of him with a hand placed on his shoulder.

"I'm the eye witness of this competition, are you trying to throw dirt at my face?".

The shark guy paled, maybe the young master of the main branch of his family would be in a position to clash with a senior from the Arcarius family, but he wasn't.

"That wasn't my intention, please excuse me senior I remembered I have some things to attend to", after saying that the shark guy took out a wood case which contained the largest bottle of that liqueur Aster has seen, and then left in a hurry.

Aster inspected the bottle and his eyes glowed for a split of a second before he kept it in his storage ring.

"Let's go", he said and the girls who have finished their meal stood up, the other nobles opened path for them, some of the ones that mocked them, even didn't dare to look at Daimon right now.

That amount of liqueur ingested in such a short period of time was unheard off, the record was much higher yes, but the one who had it was down on the floor after the fifth bottle, and they just saw someone gulping down six in a row, and be perfectly fine, in their eyes, they were in the presence of someone who descended from a family that has a Stellar rank expert.

The manager saw them leaving the restaurant and he couldn't help but think.

'Heroes are appearing in the young generation once again… just like that time, I wonder if that "person" will return along with the destruction of the trident of promise'.

…

Ignoring the commotion Daimon and the girls walked to the counter and returned the key of the room, they were then refunded what they paid for the stay just like the manager promised, and left the hotel.

Outside the guards were still strolling around, but at this point there was no one left to inspect in these streets, so besides some gazes, no one paid them too much attention.

Daimon looked at the direction where the entrance of the city was, and he frowned, there was a line of people leaving the city all at the same time.

Apparently, all the nobles who were visiting the city had decided to leave after the outburst of the city lord earlier, others would have left anyway since they were headed to the magic beast hunt, but the whole situation accelerated their plans.

Daimon contemplated things for a couple of seconds, unlike when they were in the outer layer of the magic ruin, there were flying magic beasts here, so travelling by air was troublesome, the blood bat wasn't strong enough to protect them, also the marked the direction from the point of view of the trails on the floor.

'Since we are impersonating nobles, why not go all the way', thought Daimon, he walked towards one of the stores and a couple of minutes later he returned with the girls driving a carriage which was pulled by the flying fishes he got from the Archmage.

He got off the driver's seat and opened the carriage.

"Come in ladies".

The girls entered the carriage followed by Daimon and he also got in, closing the door behind of him.

The insides of the carriage were quite spacious and comfortable, instead of seats, it had a large sofa bed, as well as other small furniture like a tea table, a bar and small dressing room.

"Wait if you are here, who is driving the carriage?", asked Leslie seeing Daimon sitting on the sofa next to Aisha.

"This carriage has a golem integrated to deal with that, I just had to put the coordinates", for a moment he thought of calling Horals to fulfill that role, but on a second thought knowing the bone general, he would have gone straight to kill that shark guy who observed them earlier, thinking he couldn't feel it.

And that didn't go along with Daimon's plan, the carriage started advancing towards the exit where the line had diminished quite a bit, and after the golem showed the proof that they weren't under suspect anymore, they were allowed to leave the city.

But then right outside of the city, the carriage stopped and the golem made the windows of the carriage which were doble sided, open, so that Daimon could see what was stopping him from moving.

Those who had to walk had already left accompanied by the ones who rode on a magic beast, but the few carriages had gathered at one side of the path, and one of the drivers approached them.

"The friends inside the carriage, the pirates have been seen in the nearby areas of the Silver Scale city, which is the shortest way to arrive to the city of the Malleus family, so the head of the Malleus family has requested us to travel in groups, do you want to join us?".

Daimon frowned, he looked in the map and the driver was right, the other routes took too many detours, doubling the time needed to arrive at their destination, on the other hand he was confused about why pirates would appear inland.

After a couple of seconds, Daimon's voice could be heard coming from the carriage.

"Yes, but if you drag me down, I'll leave".

The driver had a bitter smile, his group has been waiting for a last member to join, they were the last ones to leave and there weren't any more carriages, until Daimon's appeared.

"We'll leave now".

Everyone of the drivers which were waiting returned to their seats and the carriages started advancing.

Inside of the carriage, Daimon took out the black badge and also a couple sea crystals and before he could do anything, the thing absorbed them.

The girls curiously looked at Daimon feeding crystals to the black badge, until it stopped absorbing them.

He took out the map and this time the black badge moved by itself just like that time at the ship, it positioned right above one of the circled zones, the one which had written "Warhammer City", in other words the city of the Malleus family.

"I guess we'll get a clue of what does this thing want me to find, there", mumbled Daimon.
