MEETING A PROTAGONIST

In the separate room of the Rose inn, Robin and the new guy that came with a chain blade during the fight are sitting and having a staring competition.

Looking at this guy, Robin, run through a flashback about the things that happened half an hour before,

Robin killed Aron and turned back only to see, Catherine, lying in this guy's arms with a smitten look on her face. As he rewinds the incident that occurred, Robin understood his greatest flaw, from Jasper's mouth.

That, he can't pick up a girl any time soon.

When Aron pushed the paralyzed Catherine towards him, he bypassed her and chased Aron for the bounty. But forget about the girl.

If he had caught the girl instead of chasing Aron. He would have been the hero rescuing the beauty. He would have been able to hug Catherine and with that touch, he would have won her heart. However, money clouded his judgment.

'I need to stay alert hereafter for every possible romance plot'

But this guy sitting before him made use of that chance. He caught the girl and even said to her,

"Sorry, I came late. I will never let you get hurt again."

"I will always protect you"

When that guy said those words to Catherine, Robin saw a cupid hitting them with a love arrow. It was such a romantic scene. They looked into the eyes of each other and conversed with their souls. It was budding of love.

But for Robin, it felt like someone has thrown a big rock at his foot.

After that even when the people of the city Lord mansion came to retrieve her, Catherine went with an unwilling look as she stared at this guy with love.

As for Robin, he just blamed it all on Aron and stab many times on Aron's headless corpse. When he saw that Catherine has left the inn, he started to collect the belongings of the dead. Their communication bracelet, storage ring. He thought about collecting their armor and weapons, but he left them because they are uniform of City lord mansion and the Hawks.

Then he chased after the Hawk guys that were leaving the inn with their half-awake leader Cras,

"Hey, guys what about the rewards?"

Seeing Robin, each Hawk guy gave different expressions. But Robin just reached out his hands towards them. At last, Cras said with a weak voice,

"Give him, 3000GC."

( 1 Gold coins - 1 GC)

Then a lean guy of the Hawk team gave a card to Robin. This is a special card used to store money, and used for small transactions, like a banknote. After getting the card, Robin was about to leave, but suddenly Cras bowed before Robin and said,

"I'm sorry for mistreating you yesterday"

Then he turned around and left with his Hawk team.

Robin was stunned seeing this,

'Well, you don't have to be so dramatic. Anyway, I got even with you'

Because if Robin wished, he could have saved Cras from getting stabbed from Brut's attack, however, he let Brut attack Cras.

Action is better than words.

Thinking that he gave to Hawks the evidence he gathers about the head butchering duo.

But the surroundings got rowdier as everyone standing around started to shout Robin's name.

'Wow. Being in limelight is a great feeling.'

Robin raised his chin up and gave a heroic pose. Like saying everyone to praise him more.

But his happiness didn't last long as three voices came from within the crowd,

"He is powerful, look at how easily he handled those head cutting duo. He is a great warrior."

"Yeah, he is powerful, but the way he killed is cold-blooded, it made me numb. He must be a professional killer."

"Yes, his hands might be stained with countless people's blood. He didn't even try to save the City Lords, daughter. I don't want to be near him. A person that kills without a hint of emotion."

As those three voices ended, the crowd that was praising him before, started to disperse suddenly. Everyone showed a frightened expression looking at him like they are seeing a monster.

'These voices, the same guys from yesterday, why are they doing this to me.'

'It's not like these guys didn't kill anyone'

As he was having his limelight robbed and planning to find the owners of the voices that are making things go the wrong way for him, someone approached him,

"I have a proposal for you"

Robin turned around to only see that the guy whole stole, Catherine from him standing in front of him with an energetic smile plastered on his face.

"Why would I here your proposal?"

"Because I will pay you"

~~~~~~

Present...

While sitting in the separate room with him, Robin collected the data of the new guy,

'This guy is Patrick Silver, fiancee of Catherine. Damn, I met a protagonist.'

Robin came to know that from Jasper, just now.

'This guy's life history'

Robin is not a fan of fantasy novels, but a companion of him was a die-hard fan of all types of fiction novels, and during his missions with him, that guy said plenty of novel stories to Robin.

'In every one of those novels, the protagonist's plot is the same as this guy, Patrick's life story.'

'Patrick Silver, born to the current head of the Silver family. His mother is missing. Her identity is secret. He was a born genius with black level talent. He got into an accident when he was a kid and was wounded in the mana palace, resulting in him unable to cultivate. The fall of a genius. He has a fiance even before he was born. And they are childhood friends. But as they grew up, they became distant. And the fiancee wants to cancel their engagement because he was unable to cultivate. He was named as degenerate by the whole city, as he spends all his money on women in the brothels. He is known as a drunkard by the masses. And his household members call him as the unfit son of the head of the household.'

'But that will change today, he will get his reputation back. The rise of the fallen genius. He even got back his lover back. Then he will create a harem as he levels up.'

'Damn, the protagonist profession is cool, I should have asked Angel for a better profession.'

Patrick saw that Robin was staring at him like he was gonna eat him.

'What is this guy thinking'

"Mr.Robin, I want you to help me find someone."

Hearing Patrick, Robin who was in a dream world said with anger on his face,

"Hey, why are you asking me for help, I don't know you, and what with finding someone, is it written on my face 'Robin detective agency'"

'And you are my enemy, you stole Catherine from me'

But Patrick replied him, still with a smile in his face,

"If you can find the head butchering duo in a single day, then you are the best in finding someone here in the city."

Hearing Patrick praise him, Robin said with a friendly smile,

"Of course im the best. Even so, why would I help you find someone"

Patrick replied in a flat tone,

"Because I will reward you handsomely"

On hearing the word reward, Robin interest piqued,

"So, who is that you want to find, that, you will even reward me handsomely, is it a girl you like or your lost mother."

Hearing Robin's words, Patrick's face stiffened, but the next second a mischievous smile crept on his face,

"No, it's a guy named 'HOOD'."
