Don't call me evil god

Chapter 17: Troubles at Reina's House
The enthusiastic and lovely girl before still looked a little nervous at this moment, but the sneak attack she just made was unambiguous.

While the leading thug was trying to beg for mercy from Pete, he struck him with a powerful and heavy blow of justice, knocking him out instantly.

"Phew... It's okay! Mr. Pete, you're not hurt. I was really scared when I saw them rushing towards you!"

The corner of Pete's eye twitched slightly.

Terrified?
It was you who scared me, okay?
Pete was frightened just by the sight of the brick hitting him. Not to mention that the sturdy man had already been hit by an [Arcane Missile]. Even if he was a professional, if he was caught off guard and got hit by such a sudden blow, he would have been considered to have a strong head if he didn't get beaten to death on the spot!

Pete felt that there might be something wrong with his understanding of Reina.

When the two of them first met, he looked at her polite and gentle appearance and thought she was a girl with the personality of a neighbor.

When encountering gangsters making trouble, the first reaction is to take Pete away and hide first.

How did it turn out like this?

Seeing how skillfully Reina performed the backstab and brick-hitting moves, Pete seriously suspected that this was definitely not the first time she had done this!
As Reina spoke, she reached out and dragged the unconscious thug up, and dragged him and the other four men into a small alley on the side of the road.

"Just let them stay here."

"Thank you so much. After this lesson, I'm sure they won't dare to come here to cause trouble again in the short term." The girl thanked Pete happily.

Pete couldn't help but feel ashamed. Is the environment in the downtown area so harsh?

I thought I was just going to have a drink with the girl at the pub her family owned, but before I even entered the door, I was hit by a small downtown shock.

"Won't they continue to cause trouble when they wake up?"

Reina shook her head: "No, in fact, these guys don't dare to do anything out of line, they just come to cause trouble every once in a while."

"After all, as long as we block the door like this, no customers will dare to come to the tavern."

"They have been here several times during this period. Because of this, there are almost no customers in the pub now."

"By the way, please don't tell my family about what happened to those black-robed men today, okay?"

"If they knew I had encountered such a dangerous situation, they would definitely be worried."

Pete naturally nodded and agreed.

Everyone has their own difficulties. He believed the lies of those black-robed men for the sake of the 3rd-level spell. Although he still didn't know what kind of trouble the girl had encountered that led her to be deceived into the ceremony of those black-robed men;
The two of them did the same stupid thing, so Pete could understand the other's thoughts:
It’s best not to let others know about this dark history!

The thugs who were causing trouble were defeated and the streets finally returned to silence. The previously closed door of the tavern was soon quietly opened, and a middle-aged man with brown hair like Reina stuck his head out to look at the situation outside.

"Dad! Are you okay?" Lena ran up to him excitedly when she saw him: "Those guys didn't hurt you, did they?"

Reina's father, Mr. Moni, is a middle-aged man with a slightly burly build. He wears simple and neat clothes, has a slightly graying beard, and his face shows the traces of time.

"Baby! Where have you been? I didn't see you this morning. You didn't come back, so I thought something happened to you!"

When Old Moni saw Reina, he immediately smiled and stretched out his arms to embrace the girl. "I...I have something to go out for, and I forgot to tell you before I left." Reina smiled and changed the subject naturally: "Dad, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Pete Chinal, he was the one who helped us drive away those bad guys just now!"

"Mr. Pete is a powerful wizard!"

Old Mr. Money was incredulous.

"Mage? Mr. Chinal, hello, Mr. Mage. How can I thank you? We are really..."

When Mr. Moni heard Lena say that it was Pete who drove away the gangsters, his first reaction was to thank him, but then he thought that ordinary people like them in the downtown area didn't seem to have anything that professionals would value, and the only thing they could offer might be money.

The problem is, if you want to hire a mage, who is a top professional among professionals, the amount of gold coins required is quite high!

After all, being a wizard is a profession that costs a lot of money. All kinds of precious magic materials and props cost money. For wizards who believe in the goddess of magic, talent and hard work alone are not enough. They must have enough financial resources to embark on this path.

Even if it was a first-level wizard who only knew one offensive magic, he would need a commission of at least 1 silver coins before the other party would be willing to accept the commission.

For an ordinary person like Old Moni who runs a tavern in the lower town, the best income in a normal day is about 2 to 3 copper coins. Based on the ratio of 1 to 100, it is equivalent to less than 3 silver coins. After deducting the costs, the actual income may be less than 1 silver coin.

If he were to suddenly take out such a large sum of money, he would be seriously injured.

Seeing that Old Moni was short of money, Pete readily said that there was no need to go through so much trouble, as he had plenty of money and would help those in need when he saw injustice.

Upon hearing this, old Moni was just as enthusiastic as his daughter Lena. He hurriedly invited Pete to at least sit in the tavern for a while. As a thank you, he would take out the best wine to treat Pete well.

The space inside the Mony Brothers Tavern was not very large. As soon as Pete walked in, the rich aroma of beer hit his nose. The interior decoration was very simple. Various types of alcohol were placed behind the wooden bar, most of which were beer in wooden barrels.

There were several chairs lined up outside the bar, and a few sets of tables and chairs surrounding the fireplace nearby, taking up the rest of the space in the pub.

Because it was not dark yet, the fireplace was not lit and there was still a comfortable coolness in the house.

A tavern of this size is very common in both Greenport and the Kingdom of Reyak. It only needs two wine waiters and at most a chef in charge of barbecue and bread to run it, and can accommodate more than a dozen guests at the same time.

Pete found a chair next to the bar and sat down. Lena walked in, took out a wooden wine glass, filled it with beer with fine foam from the barrel, brought it to Pete, and walked to another chair next to Pete and sat down.

"Please try the Moni family's specially fermented flavored beer."

Pete took a sip from the glass.

The mellow and slightly bitter liquor blooms in the mouth, followed by the sweetness of malt, giving him a layered taste experience.

"Yes! It tastes great!"

The two clinked glasses, and the cold and delicious beer helped to relieve a lot of the tension caused by the series of events that had happened earlier.

"So, what's the situation with those troublemakers? What kind of trouble are you in?"
