Chapter 81: Straw
The bounties offered through Red Marking are usually focused on their rival gangs and aren’t posted online. The pay isn’t very high, either, so professional bounty hunters don’t bother with them most of the time, leaving street rats looking to get started to pick them.
Dante had graduated from Red Marking at one point, and since it left him with few good memories, he was reluctant to go back to it. His feelings hadn’t changed, but right now, he needed to keep himself busy and let out some steam; otherwise, his mind would keep going in the directions he desperately wanted to avoid.
After flipping through the list a few times, Dante picked three targets and copied their files into his NIM. The shopkeeper had finished placing his items in a paper bag, which he then sealed with some tape then placed in a plastic bag. All that was left was paying.
Scanning another QR code on a different tablet, Dante watched as a 750G disappeared from his wallet. With the guns he sold earning him 270G, it would mean that the Blue Berry he purchased, along with the six packs of ammo, cost a whopping 1020G. Though he was satisfied with the purchase, Dante couldn’t help but feel the pinch.
"So, did anything catch your fancy?"
Looking up at the bald shopkeeper, Dante forced a polite smile.
"I picked a couple. Will be back for the cash when I’m done."
"Confident, aren’t you?" The bald man snorted. "Well, don’t get yourself killed, kid."
"Sure."
Placing his newly purchased gun into his armpit holster, Dante then picked the ammo bag and walked out of the Violet Rose.
