n“Hey… what happened to the no interference?”

nMy spear didn’t budge in the slightest as a sword attempted to chop off the neck of Orme, who was currently kneeling down, his sword cracked in half.

nCy and I immediately stepped in to protect Orme, who was about to be slaughtered by a few lackeys.

nOne tried to go for the kill, and one tried to save their young master by breaking Orme’s sword… his precious and only sword.

n“You… Who are you?” One of the men asked as we split ways and dragged our little young masters to our own sides.

n“GODDAMMIT! I SWEAR I’LL KILL YOU, ORME!” The boy shouted while flailing his arms like a little child.

nOn top of that, his sword flew around like a raging whirlwind, almost chopping off the heads of his very own lackeys that seemed to care for him very much.

nI didn’t answer the man’s question and checked up on Orme, who was shaking with fear at the thought of almost dying.

nHe was very close to having his head chopped off, and if it wasn’t for us, he definitely would’ve been a separated corpse.

n“Should we kill them all?” Aisa asked her daggers already in the palms of her hands.

n“Wait! Don’t!” Orme shouted, but it was too late as my nod already gave the signal for everybody to destroy the opposing side.

n“K-KILL THEM ALL!” The opposing young master shouted while scurrying away, his eyes still slightly wounded by Orme’s sand.

nAll of my friends tore through the lackeys as if they were butter, and this was just using a few buff skills, not any actual attack skills.

nAisa was also having a bit of fun with her sniper, which she shot from point blank range.

n“Oh, it seems we have a bug who’s trying to escape,” I chuckled before walking around the skirmish and stepping on the young master’s stomach.

n“H-HELP! WHAT ARE YOU FUCKERS DOING?! THIS GUY IS TRYING TO KILL ME!” He shouted, but after seeing how all of his lackeys were dead, his expression slowly changed.

nThe panicked and angered expression of the arrogant young man slowly faded away, and his mouth turned into a desperate smile.

nSweat practically coated this guy like a new layer of skin, and as he slowly clasped his hands together, I felt two deadly presences approach me at an insane speed.

nFWOOSH

nBut, I dodged them, and Cy destroyed both of them in an instant, causing the man’s face to pale with fear even further.

nHe was a ghost now… just a few steps behind.

n“I-I’ll pay you double of what Orme gave you! NO TRIPLE! NO QUADRUPLE! I’LL PAY YOU QUADRUPLE!” The man desperately shouted, and I couldn’t help but let out an amused smile that crept through the cracks of my cold face.

n“What should we do, guys!? Take his offer!?” I shouted back at my friends, who had just finished up the job with only a few scratches.

nSeems they were a bit stronger than I thought… or was it the numbers that almost overwhelmed them… no, that’s not possible…

n“Hey, where is your shadow?” I asked the boy, and his desperate smile warped once again into a desperately angered expression.

nHe tried to pull my foot off of his stomach, or so I thought, as it was more of a chain to hold me down so his shadow behind me could slice off my head.

nFWOOSH…

n“ARGHHHHHHHH!”

nI dodged to the side slightly and reached out my free hand, grabbing the shadow by the neck and digging my fingers into his windpipe.

nHis screams were soon drowned out as I crushed his throat and tossed him to the side, allowing Luna to torture him until he leaked any information.

n“Make sure to get rid of any poison and make sure he doesn’t bite off his tongue,” I warned her, but she didn’t even bat an eye as I stated the obvious.

n“Alright, buddy, give up any valuables that you have, or I’ll kill your right here and now,” I muttered with a murderous glare… and the dude actually pissed himself.

nA warm stream of liquid came from his pants, and as tears welled up in his eyes which he tried to cover with his hands, I noticed the three rings on his right hand.

n“Well, I guess there is no need,” I muttered and sliced off his head painlessly as I was very merciless and such a kind person.

nI then took the rings off of his fingers and tossed them at Aisa, who already had a special device out.

nIt was kind of like a diamond tester with a screen attached to it, which showed the contents of a magic ring we were unfamiliar with.

n“Anything good?”

n“Oho! This is the good **! There are so many valuable weapons in here and some nice materials in the third one. Also, in the second one, there are a few large healing potions… damn, we really struck gold,” Aisa muttered with a large smile and then shot a bolt of electricity through it.

nThe device was disabled, and just for good measure, she threw it on the ground, stomping on it and striking it with lightning until only ash remained.

n“Hold on, these are bait,” Orme said as he pushed Aisa out of the way and reached towards the corpse below me.

n“Bait? What do you mean bait?” I asked, slightly intrigued as it seemed he knew something we didn’t.

nNobody was really looking at him, but all of our ears were perked up.

nSuddenly, he stuck the pointy end of his broken blade into the chest of the corpse and ripped it open until he pulled out a ring engraved into the young master’s flesh.

n“What… the **….” Aisa muttered as Orme lifted it up and checked to make sure it was legit.

n“I hope you don’t mind me having this,” Orme said before tossing it in his mouth and swallowing it with the help of a water bottle.
