*TingLingLing!
"Huh?!"
As the door chimed echoed, the people inside heard it and looked at the door's direction.
At the opened door, there was an unfamiliar silhouette.
"A kid?!"
"Who the hell are you?!"
Eiji looked at them.
'Five!'
There were five Elite swordsmen in front of him.
*SWOOOSH!
""Huh?!""
Before the five of them could say anything more, everything in their sight blanked out.
Akai had already sheathed his katana back.
Eiji was already walking forward into the room.
And Marco just deactivated his Blood Sword Powers.
*SWOOOSH!!!!
Then once again, they vanished as they continue their search and finding their target!
----
*AWWOOOOO!!!
As the night deepend, one could hear the howling of the wolves.
And inside the Samey Merchant Group Building, blood was flooding each rooms as the three of them searched and killed any Swordsman they came across with!
A few minutes later.
Eiji, Marco and Akai emerged from the building along with a few children.
But it wasn't just children.
There were also young and older women.
These women were either widowed or just had their husbands going into the frontlines! Not even dead yet!
They haven't even had a fight, much less even dying, the women didn't even have any debt, and now they were abducted and nearly sold off!
The three of them were still emitting blood lust, as they found out about the situation these poor people had been through.
Because of the war, the county was in a bit of a lax in regards to the protection, that was why there were a lot of scheming people coming in and just greedily taking everything they can get, be it food, money or even people!
----
The three of them then helped the abducted children and women into the Count's mansion.
Such situations should be have been handled by the nobles, which was originally their purpose!
And wether he wants to take them in or not, doesn't matter, this was a direct order from the kingdom, unless he was a Shimin, no! Even if he was a shimin, he would still have to agree with this responsibility!
----
As Eiji and the others were helping the children and women, at a dark alley corner, a man dressed in all blacks was crouching down with sweat all over his body!
'Damn! So that kid, and his companions were from Assassination Department of the Masamune Kingdom!
Damned Ito! Why didn't he told me so!
Whatever! I'll go back and report what I've seen and won't be accepting any commission for a moment!'
*SWOOOSH!!!
The man then ran away after making his plans.
-----
At a wide and clean office room.
A man was currently sitting in front of a desk as he looked over various documents in his hands.
*Creaak!!
He heard the opening of the door and looked.
"Hmm?!"
"It's me!"
In front of him was the man in dark clothes that had been spying on Eiji and the others.
"So?! What did you find out?!"
"You asshole! Why didn't you tell me they were the kingdom's assassins!"
The shouted at Ito angrily.
"What!?"
Ito stood up in shock.
"What what! Had I been found out, I would've been a corpse by now!
No matter! Give me the money and don't contact me from now on!"
"Huuuuu!!!"
Ito took a deep breath.
He reached out into the drawer and took a pouch containing the money.
He didn't care about the man's complains nor was he dissatisfied with his work.
It was a spying mission in the first place, not killing, and thank god that he hadn't been found out and turtored as to why he was spying on them!
Regardless of whether the Golden Treasure Merchant Group was one of the richest merchant group of the world or not, in accordance to their agreements with all the kingdoms they had, they are prohibited from ever touching the kingdoms interests and it's operations!
Unless it was inevitable, any actions that jeopardize a kingdom's operation would mean that they will retaliate, and other kingdoms won't help them if they were the ones who messed up first!
' This means, that this is trouble!
I'll have the young miss stop any thoughts of harboring that young man from now on!'
Ito thought to himself.
His young miss, Arianne Torrea, was the only child of the owner of the Golden Treasure Merchant Group.
As the sole child and a daughter at that, she was spoiled from childhood, and always had anything she wants get granted.
Now that she was in her teens, she was a bit in her rebellious phase, although it was more of, she wants to prove to the elders that she was capable of inheriting the merchant group!
That was why she was here looking for opportunities, business and talented people!
If she amassed enough money, create a huge marketing, and get talented individuals as her vassals, the group elders that were greedily lookong at her father's fortunes would shut their mouths up, and would then suck up to her knowing that she can inherit the merchant group.
"Sigh! This is a problem, the young miss probably thinks she can have that young man already!"
Ito sighed heavily as he shook his head.
He really needs to stop her before anything happens, although it would bring pain to him both emotionally and especially physically!
*Sigh!
