The list had 9 names on it with a few ones Connor did not recognize.
[Rhobart]
[Obel]
[Luis]
[Hawkins]
[Enrico]
[Dwight]
[Doug]
[Danny]
[Oscor]
'I'll start taking care of the ones I know will be easy and then slowly continue with the rest' Connor thought. Hawkins was the lieutenant of the Workers while Dwight was a Worker himself, so these were the weakest and most likely the easiest ones to go after. 'If it's protection money and I'm collecting it in Brog's name.. Why not go all out!' Connor smiled. What happened after was fairly obvious. Connor went to each and every Worker and collected the protection fees from each one, gaining 1200 GC easily. Connor only collected 100 GC from each but he instantly became rich while all the hate was directed at Brog and Brog only. Even the Hunters were not spared as Connor went to the 3 in the Swamp and got 200 GC from each, adding 600 GC to his Inventory just like that.
Craig was nice enough to point out the rest for Connor and the hunt continued. The rest of the names that Connor did not know yet were the farmers at the other side of the Camp, where "Clay" was guarding.
"Maybe it's time to get my revenge while I'm at it!" Connor muttered, walking up the hill as a farm appeared in front of him.. A weed farm.. No, not that kind of weed… Swamp Weed.
Obel was one of the Farmer Workers under Rhobart. He gave Connor the Gold without any issues, adding another 100 GC.
Rhobart stood in front of a wooden house built on top of the Swamp water held by a wooden platform. He was smoking something as he looked into the distance.
"You're here for the protection fee aren't you?" Rhobart said right after seeing Connor.
"You guessed right"
"You look like one of Brog's dogs, so it wasn't that hard of a guess" Rhobart continued. "But if you thought you were gonna get my Gold without any proper protection from you useless bastards then you're wrong, those guards are just lazing about just doing nothing but eating and smoking"
"What do you want!" Connor asked.
"Those Mud bodies, there are 2 near the waterfall there and they keep getting closer and closer to this place, go take care of them and kill the Devilworm at the field over there" Rhobart said, pointing at different locations.
"Alright, so you better have my Gold ready for when I return" Connor said.
"Yeah yeah"
Clay was sitting underneath a tree not too far away. Connor walked over and spoke with him.
"We have work to do!" Connor spoke.
"We? Who's we?" Clay laughed.
"You and I, you moron, Brog's orders" Connor said. "There are a couple of creature we have to take care of if Brog wants to get his Gold, and you don't want him to hear you were the reason why his Gold is less than usual"
"I do not fear Brog, but I'll take care of the creatures or everyone at the camp will think I'm weak!"
"Alright, let's move"
Connor and Clay started heading towards the waterfall where the 2 Mud creatures were wobbling about, but the moment they noticed the uninvited visitors they started barbarically swinging and running towards them.
"You take the right one and I'll deal with the left one!" Connor spoke before starting to block. He moved around the creature like nothing before instantly destroying its Core, ending it.
Clay on the other hand was still busy. Although he wasn't in a bad situation he will still need a bit more time to kill it.
ARGH!
A Sword ruptured though Clay skull, emerging from his left eye socket as blood and some eye bits spilt everywhere. Even the creature took a few seconds to realize what happened before attacking the still standing human and being killed easily right after.
"We're even now, bitch!" Connor spat on Clay's corpse after looting it alongside the mud creatures. The Devilworm was no issue to Connor with its sluggish giant body and was taken care of in no time.
Unfortunately, the tasks never ended.
Deliver the Beers to Rachel in the Camp and bring back 300 GC
Collect 10 Swamp Weeds and you'll be rewarded with 100 GC
Rhobart made sure to not waste a single coin before handing over the protection fee which was 300 GC. Connor sighed and started heading back to the camp after collecting 20 Swamp Weeds from the farms, gaining an extra 200 GC easily.
After some round around the Camp he was finally done with the List before going straight to Rachel.
Going through everything he did and giving her the List, she finally had enough evidence against Brog. She happily turned and spoke to Connor with glee.
"Go and tell him what you know and that you will be reporting to the Don!" Rachel said.
"Why? Why not just tell the Don and get rid of Brog?" Connor asked.
"That would be great but Brog is a strong man that has been leading the Fighters since the beginning. If he is gone and we put someone else in charge, it would be nearly impossible to do that without issues popping out of nowhere, but that won't matter. With our baggage now we have him around our finger, so go ahead!"
Connor thought this made a lot of sense. Brog might have been a dickhead, but if he is exposed and killed or exiled others will either try their luck with the same tactics or go wild, no longer obstructed by their fear of Brog.
"Hey Brog, I got myself an audience with the Don and I bet he'll love to hear about your extracurricular activities!" Connor threatened.
"Little pup.. You dare betray me?" Brog started grinding his teeth. "You sure you won't regret this in the future?"
"I think I'll be ok" Connor smiled. "Now listen, Sam, the Hunter you're having cut firewood for you wants to return to Hunt once again"
"Fine, I have enough firewood anyways.." Brog snarled. "You will regret this I swear"
