Chapter 1807: A Job Well Done
(Drake's POV)
Well, that was that I suppose.
We managed to finish our bounty hunter job right there, and we even let that family of two have their proper revenge.
Some people might think that's the wrong way of doing things, I'm sure some would even go as far as reprimand me or something.
Yeah, like the Ice Queen for example.
However, I simply couldn't dare less. I am not that kind of person.
I might be a softie sometimes, and I gladly help people.
But when it comes to making a bastard that has committed atrocities pay, I make sure they get all the punishment, torture, and agony they deserve.
"Drake are you sure that was the correct way of doing things?" wondered Benladann. "Leaving without even saying goodbye, and by giving them the murderer of their family's mother... I know it was the right thing to do too, but it felt so gruesome."
"Yeah I know," I nodded. "But that's how I just do things, I've done it like that before, many times... Maybe if this world had more proper laws and everything else, I might have been more merciful, but there was absolutely no point to that in this occasion and moment."
"Hmm... I guess so," Benladann nodded. "However, children, don't do what your father did, okay? Unless it is in a special occasion like what happened right now..."
"I get it mom, I'm not that dumb..." Benladra said. "Also with Kate we've had our experiences dealing with evildoers on our own! Right? Back in that island, we made new friends and fought evildoers... Hmm, I miss them though."
"Me too." Kate nodded. "I wonder how Coral and Rose are doing... And Triton, wasn't he a newborn? Maybe he has grown a bit since then!"
"Right... Okay, once we're done with this and on our way to another continent, we can pay them a short visit, a small vacation I guess," I said. "How about it?"
"Really?"
"Yaaay!"
"What... ishland?" Drakda wondered, looking confused.
"It's called Aquarius," Miranda said. "It was a nice place, although it was once governed by a strange cult. There was also a Water Dragon that once lived there and protected the place."
"Oohh..." Drakda nodded. "Fishies?"
"Yeah there are fishies," giggled Benladann. "And also fish people, don't eat those though." "Oway..." Drakda nodded. "Hmm..."
"What's wrong my son?" I looked at Drakda, who was looking into the distance.
"Big whale!"
He pointed into the distance, the portal where the train was supposed to go through was still stuck with the giant alien Whalebug.
However, there were now a dozen of flying airships trying to push it away, firing beams at it and shooting bullets from huge machineguns.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Loud explosions reverberated across the skies as they continued shooting them, it was very loud and clear how they wanted the thing to be gone.
"What are they even doing?" Benladann wondered. "They're only going to make it upset." "GROOOHHHH..."
And Benladann was right, the thing was stuck and shooting its head wasn't going to unstuck it, in fact it was only making it upset and angered.
"Do you think we could push that thing back where it came from?" Miranda wondered. "Yeah it's not impossible," I nodded. "We could do it yeah... But not yet. The Whalebug is a way to delay that train we'll be taking. We need to quickly do the quests before taking it anyways."
"Right..." nodded Benladann. "I hope the Whalebug doesn't end up destroying the entire city though."
"If that happens we'll step in and stop it, of course," I said. "Right kids?"
"Yeah!" Benladra said. "And then we'll eat it! Imagine all the meat! It would even satiate us dragons!"
"Yes," Kate nodded.
"Mweat..." Drakda muttered.
As we continued walking through the city and hearing the roars of the Whalebug being attacked, I looked at the Quest Notification.
Ding!

The suns were finally setting, perhaps the night in this planet was short because it sure took a while for that. We still had seven hours left. We were moving right towards the bandits that had been annoying Larry so far.
Once we get that done, there's a third quest left over for us, and also we need to find out about the Golden Spire Race... Apparently that's where the people in the train were moving to, it seems like it was delayed because all participants were unable to get there in time.
"Papa!"
Kata pointed into the distance, as she was sitting on my shoulders.
There, at the end of an old, dark, and abandoned-looking street full of empty houses, there
were stairs leading underground.
"That's where the other bandit group is, let's go."
It was time to clean this city of all these scoundrels.

CRASH!
A pair of big, black colored boots crushed the broken wooden planks beneath them, the boots, belonging to a gorgeous, slender woman wearing tight black jeans, a jacket, and a cowboy
hat, glanced at the scene.
"Hah, what the hell happened here?"
Her long red hair fluttered as her sharp golden eyes, which were six of them, analyzed her surroundings. Four out of her six eyes squinted, noticing how suspicious all of this was. The harsh sunlight from the sky was easily reflected by her azure-colored skin, which, beneath the strong sunlight, revealed many little, transparent scales that covered her body, that shone like rainbow when struck directly by the sunlight.
Holding a long rifle, the woman glanced into the distance, she immediately knew that all of this destruction, the blood, and the lack of bodies meant something.
"Looks like a monster is on the loose, and he killed all my boys..." she sighed, smiling. "It has been a while since I've had a proper hunt~"
