Assassination System Chapter 19 Charity

The guard felt sympathy towards the pair of mother and daughter. But rules were rules; No matter how much the two would ask him, he would never open the path for them. Gritting his teeth, he took a small pouch on from his armor and presented it towards the two.
The young woman stared at the cloth bag with a dumbfounded expression. Her sobbing stopped for a moment as she digested the actions of the guard. The latter wryly smiled, "This is the bonus that the master gave to me. Since I don't need this much in the first place, you can take it and bring your daughter to a physician or something..."
Dan who approached at a slow pace noticed the charity of the guard as a smile couldn't help but surface on his lips. He was glad to find that people who possessed such an altruistic trait still existed in this cruel world.
The young woman's expression froze, she noticed the arrival of the familiar young man as she once again sobbed, "Y-y-young master..."
The guard's expression flickered, he turned around and there; he found Dan staring at the scene with a slight smile on his face. The former tensed up. After all, he had heard rumors about how vicious this young man was.
"Y-y-young master..." The guard saluted.
Dan nodded his head towards his gesture and said, "What's your name?"
"Reporting to young master. This one's name is Reggis..."
"Okay then, Reggis." Dan's glance landed on the cloth bag for a moment before returning at the guard, "How much is inside that pouch?"
Reggis became stunned for a moment, 'Why would the young master ask about that information? Could it be that...He's gonna steal my bonus?!' Reggis wryly smiled, "There are about ten silver coins inside the pouch, young master..."
"I see..." Dan nodded his head, "Go find Mister George and tell him that I'm giving you a ten gold coins bonus..." Dan instructed; he wouldn't mind rewarding such a kind and righteous man. Reggis' expression changed, he didn't expect that the arrogant and depraved young master would hand him over such a sumptuous reward.
Dan noticed Reggis' doubts. Smiling, he continued, "Don't worry, I'm not scheming against you. That is your reward for keeping the rules and being so astute. I appreciate people like you."
Reggis' didn't say any more words as he quickly disappeared into the depths of the Longinus Clan Estate. Meanwhile, the young auntie and her children still sobbed on the ground. Dan took a closer look at the young girl and found that her eyes looked yellowish and her blood vessels dilated, along with her hastened heartbeat and her pale countenance. Dan knew that if something wasn't done; she wouldn't last until daybreak.
Dan carried the young girl, along with the young auntie, they sped towards his room and Dan quickly called for the City's greatest physician, Elder Manong.
Several hours later, Elder Manong came out of Dan's room with beaded sweat on his forehead. Carrying with him a bucket of putrid water, he said towards Dan, "Young master, I managed to stabilize her condition and it seems to be somehow curable, however."
Elder Manong's eyes shone in a critical light, "Pardon my rudeness but May I know your relationship with her mother? Young master?"
Dan remained nonchalant, he turned towards the almost sobbing young auntie before saying, "I'm her friend, now. How can we cure her condition?"
Elder Manong replied, "It's not like I want to say something bad about your act of kindness, young master. But the cost of curing her is just too enormous..."
"How much?" Dan said without any hesitation. The young auntie who stood at his side, trembled for a moment, before her eyes, shone in infinite gratefulness.
"It's about ten thousand gold coins." Elder Manong dropped a bombshell and the two became stumped. It has to be known that an average family living in the Middle-Class Realm of the City of Cloud would only earn three gold coins in a year.
The cost of treating the young girl was something exorbitant that Dan would bleed his heart out. Staring at the young auntie who once again became despondent; Dan gritted his teeth before saying, "Fine, I'll pay that ten thousand gold coins, however. I will only give the payment once treatment is done."
Elder Manong revealed a slight smile, as one of the greatest physicians in the entire City. Almost all of the influences in here tried their hardest to curry his favor. And because of his high standing; he wouldn't be afraid of being scammed by such a young man.
Nodding his head, Elder Manong left a recipe for a medicinal soup that he can give to the young child before the operation begins in two weeks.
When Elder Manong stepped out of the Longinus Clan Estate, a small smile crept on his face as he crushed a jadeslip, sending a stream of information, flying towards a certain manor inside the Noble Realm of the City of Cloud.
Inside that mansion, a young man could be seen, staring at the information contained within the jadeslip with a vicious smile on his face. Before him, stood a middle-aged man with a bedraggled expression, "Hey, it seems like I found your wife inside that bastards mansion..."
The middle-aged man's expression flickered in hatred, "Why are you doing this to me, young master? I haven't done anything to offend you..." He had been kneeling on the ground for about three hours now.
"Okay, you can stand up now." The young man gestured and the middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief as he stood up.
"Let's do this fast," The former clapped his hands together as a butler came out of nowhere. Bringing with him a big pouch containing gold coins. The middle-aged man stared at the pouch, gulping as his hands couldn't help but tremble in excitement.
As a man who loved money than his relatives. He knew just from staring that the pouch contained at least, five thousand gold coins.
"I have a simple job for you..." The young man walked towards him and whispered something in his ear which made him excited beyond belief.
...
Meanwhile, inside Dan's room, the young auntie could be seen wiping the forehead of her daughter with a wet cloth. The latter became relaxed and even stretched her body in pleasure. Dan stared at the pair of mother and daughter and couldn't help but admire their tenacity.
Soon enough, the young auntie stopped wiping her daughter. Instead, she looked as if she was resolving herself before saying, "Young master..." Her countenance flushed and she looked somewhat fidgety.
Dan who could be called as a connoisseur of dating sims couldn't help but feel a premonition in his heart, 'Could it be that me saving her child has triggered some kind of a flag?! It's not like I don't like MILF's but this is just wrong! I feel like I'm taking advantage of her weakness!'
On the outside, Dan looked as nonchalant as ever, but he was inwardly panicking as he stared at the embarrassed young auntie.
Before the young auntie came to his Estate, she heard all kinds of rumors about this so-called Dan Longinus, and all the rumors that she heard was something about his pervertedness and his strange hobby of eating girls together. Since she already had a child; she wasn't a stranger towards those things and she felt quite nervous towards what she was about to do for her daughter's sake.
"What is it?" Dan replied with a smile. She turned stiff for a moment before saying, "Young master...I don't know about how can I ever repay this favor..." She bit her lower lip before her hands stretched towards her robe, slowly removing it.
"Stop!" Dan hurriedly interjected before things become worse, The young auntie startled for a moment.
"If you really want to repay me that much, then work in our Estate! Don't just do that to anyone! You need to think preciously of yourself!" Dan declared, his eyes, shining in a light of sincerity made the latter tremble, as tears threatened to spill out of her eyes.
It was the first time that she heard such words. Ever since the time that her parents died, she always had to care for herself and when she got married, she thought that she could finally relax. But little did she knew that the person that she married had a tendency of being violent.
In an effort to save her child inside her womb. She secretly snuck out and from there on. She lived at least a decade inside the Slum Community of the City of Cloud selling breakfast meals and barely paying the rent and protection fees that the thugs demanded to her.
Eventually, the tears forming in her eyes fell down into a stream as she hurriedly covered her face. Dan revealed a slight smile, the love of a mother was something that he admired, yet he never experienced back in his previous life. And seeing someone that sacrificed everything for the sake of their own kin. Dan didn't know why, but he knew that they needed his help.
And even without anything in exchange, he would definitely help them.
Dan moved closer beside the young auntie and gently embraced her. Placing her head on his chest, he patted her head and rubbed her back in a constant and slow motion. But instead of calming down. Her crying intensified as Dan felt moisture, building upon his robe.
Shaking his head, Dan wryly smiled and continued on consoling her.
But before he could do so, a scream full of rage and indignance echoed out from the distance.
"Natalie, you slut! To think that I would find you in here, flirting with that bastard of a young man! Come out here and present yourself to me!"
The young auntie's figure shook, Dan's expression darkened. The two retracted their embrace and when Dan stared at the former, he found that her expression looked pale and ashen.
"What's wrong? Do you know him?"
Despite her shivering figure, she nodded her head and said, "That voice belongs to my husband..."
"
