ARGONAUT

A New Start

Bell sit there and cried. He went to asleep without his knowledge. He wake up very late in the morning. The sun was already up. Thankfully there was no people. He looked at the wagon once again. He stood up and moved closer to the wagon.

The blood stains are still there on the ground. The noticed that there was a piece of paper on the seat.

It says "IT IS JUST A BEGINING. NEXT TIME I WILL HUNT DOWN YOUR FAMILY. I WON'T STOP UNTILL I STRIP YOU OFF EVERYTHING."

He remained calm. He tiered off that piece of paper . He took the shape of a bat and flew back to his room. The owner of the place was already there to collect the rent. Bell said that he will pay the rent . The owner didn't agree.

Bell has no money with him right now. So he charmed him and ordered him to go back. Bell went inside. He took a bath and washed his clothes. He rested until evening. His clothes are dry now. Bell put on his jacket armor and his swords. He locked that room and went to meet the owner. Bell returned the key to him. He was about to leave that kingdom.

Then he heard an announcement about from the knights of Artemis. There will be a spear lifting competition. Whoever lifting the spear , regardless of gender will be awarded with the blessings of Goddess Artemis. And there is a cash award of 300 Million valis.

Bell decided to gave it a try. He went to the stadium where the event is about to happen. There were a lot of people, both men and women. Hestia Familia and Artemis were sitting on the Pavilion. Lord Hermes was the comandater. Strict security was provided, but no one was restricted.

Hestia Familia members tried to lift the spear but none of them could lift the spear. Many people, both men and women tried to lift it, but was in vain. Hestia was sad that her best friend is in trouble. Finally it was Bell's turn. Hestia and Hermes Familia were anxious. Bell tried to pull it. But to his surprise it didn't come off.

Hestia Familia and Hermes Familia were disappointed. Bell left the stadium. On his way he met Lena. She was very angry that she slapped his face in front of everyone. She also warned him not to do that again. Bell fell insulted. Then Julies asked him about Jupiter. He replied sadly that she went to a far place. Then Lena told him that she might have escaped from him. Julies warned Bell to get out the kingdom by next day.

They left him alone. Bell was calm. He believed that there is no point in crying and thinking about getting revenge. Nothing is going to change once you get you revenge. How will it make it better?. It won't bring back happiness. He decided to do something useful rather than just sit and cry. It was not the first time he is being insulted. It's not the first time he got rejected. But still he didn't expect Hestia to reject him like that.

He walked for a while. Then sat on an empty bench by the road. Then fortunately, he met the old man who used to sell joker masks in the Orario city. The Old man used to believe that Bell is dead. He was relived to see him again. During their conversation Bell told him the situations through which he is been through. The old man asked him to focus on getting stronger.

The old man introduced a new black jacket armor and leggings to Bell. It has got blue linings all over it. It was a cursed item. Fortunately that jacket accepted Bell as it's new master. It covers all of his body except his face. He then gave that bracelet to him as a payment. Bell got a jocker mask for free.

  Bell  then started walking towards  the Gate. He reached halfway. He sensed the presence of a demon behind him. She was Aleera.  She was busy with her work in the demon king palace. She assigned her servants to watch  over Bell through a magic item. Her servants just  informed her about the tragedy . She came right away to see, Bell . She moved in and hugged Bell.
