Ishiki gritted his teeth and instantly turned around.
'Holy shit... What have I gotten myself into.'
Without any delay, he launched himself off the rooftop and landed in the alley below and burst into a sprint the moment his boots hit the ground. Behind him, shouts multiplied and footsteps thundered.
He has just witnessed, a cart trafficking poor children, and then a bastard in black clothing appears out of nowhere and saves them... murdering the merchant responsible in between.
He was left dazed... and miraculously, all that had to happen as he was about to leave.
Was it not too much of a coincidence... and the fact that the murderer even escaped and all the attention was now shifted to Ishiki.
"There was a murder and goods were stolen! Alert any of the active captains! Don't let him escape!"
Behind Ishiki the chase ignited.
