Chapter 86 – Funny Show of Circus (7)
“Gyaahiah !!! Praaaaang—!!!”
I ran down the alleyway screaming my girlfriend’s name!!
Franc was the only thing that would save me from those madmen!!
I dash in the direction indicated by the rune’s mana. But on the road ahead there were more guards than after me!
“This Noooooum!!! I can’t go by the children’s side!!!”
“Protect the child—!!! Don’t let them make you hostage aaaaa of them of you of taken hostage!”
“CeeeeeS!!!”
Why are these assholes so competent in this stupid topic!! I didn’t have the confidence to break through the guards in formation, so I took a curve in the side alley!!
Fran!! Fran will explain the misunderstanding!! Until then, all I have to do is fry my body properly!!
“Kiyo oh oh oh oh oh oh!”
“Take it!!! Heys Bent Guard Ceremony 3-person 1-spear magic trick!!!”
“Why are they here!!!!”
Maybe I was transferred because I protested, even the cubs I saw at the wizard guild the other day jumped off the building and aimed at me!! Look at how these bastards even changed their technical name because they changed their location!!!!
Do-do-do-do-!
I rolled on the floor and avoided the window! I ran through the alley as a criminal (not guilty) being chased by guards on a moonlit night!!
“Hehe! Hee hee! Hehe!!”
After continuing to run away with a serious dash for about 30 minutes, I was out of breath. It wouldn’t have been like this if I turned on Beast Return, but the green mana coating is noticeable.
[Wanted Bounty: Child Kidnapper.]
[Name: Arthur Wayne.]
[Feature: Vectorman Green.]
You’ll really get fucked if you get this fucking shit! Until the situation is resolved, the beast return is forcibly sealed in front of others!!
“Hey!! It’s here!!”
It was then. Thinking that a wanted bounty would be better than being searched for, I was about to start Beast Return when I spotted a man shouting in an alleyway.
“Come here before the guards catch you!!”
He was a very nasty-looking man. But whoever that bastard is, as long as he’s not a guard, you can turn on Beast Return and fight!
I ran towards it, squeezing the air out of my lungs.
“Everywhere! Be proud! Something!”
─Meadadadak!
Gathering up all her strength, she ran into the building. -Boom! As soon as I got inside, the man closed the door and locked it.
“Huh. Heo Eok. Heh heh heh heh heh…”
“I cursed at you. That’s why I’ll be careful.”
Tsk tsk tsk. Tongue-in-cheek man I couldn’t figure out what this bastard was doing, so I tried to look at him, but the man sat down in his chair and said.
“I don’t know who you are, but the news is late. Didn’t you hear that Haysbent’s bandits stopped selling kids? Why are you still chasing the kid?”
“Hoo-wook… Heo-eok… What did you just say?”
Didn’t this bastard just say something that’s hard to overhear? I forgot to catch my breath and glared at the bastard. Then the man raised his hands.
“Oh, don’t stare at me like that. You don’t know how to repay the person who saved you.”
“Geun-hye, Heo-eok, a piece of shit…”
“Quack!! Haha!! Right!! If you’re a thief then you should be!! This is a model for thieves!! Then will you understand if we do this?”
─Exactly!
When the man snapped his fingers, the door opened and men with knives rushed into the room. The man who let me in smirked.
“So who wants to provoke the guards? I don’t know where you belong, but I’m going to have to try some spicy food today.”
“Belong? Whoops, whoops… It’s an adventurer’s guild. Why.”
“Ok?”
I straightened my back, ignoring the man who asked back. Breathing is now sufficiently controlled.
The effect of the rune engraved on Fran was cut off due to the distance. Still, I decided to trust Fran. He must be explaining the situation to the guards now. There is also a cat, so let’s trust that it will find my location and come to me.
This is how I caught the tail, but I couldn’t let it go.
─Thump!
I clenched my fists and activated Beast Return. Shuwaaaaagh—! The thieves were shocked when the green mana rose.
“What, what?”
“What is it? Puppies. It’s market day for you guys.”
I growled as I raised my beast return claws.
“Thank you sick. Shall we talk for a minute?”
“Lord, kill me!”
At the man’s command, the men with weapons rushed. I concentrated as I watched the crude knife fly away. Moving vision measured the quality and speed of the knife. Even the power contained therein.
It’s cheap. Slow. Weak.
In other words, they were as expected assholes.
─Ae-Aeng Chae!
I swung my arms. Arm guards and mana coatings on beast repellents slashed all of their swords and shattered them.
“Huh uh uh uh!!”
“Sir, fuck!! Theodore baby!! This guy is a monster!!”
When the swords were not drawn and their weapons were pulverized, the thieves started a match.
“Jerk the.”
I whispered. Cheap knives like that don’t even cost 10 copper. It is a weapon no different from extending a kitchen knife. It breaks easily even if you hit it moderately with a hammer.
“Quaaaaa!!”
I knocked men down with fists in my hands. Except for the guy who let me into this building.
It was okay to kill them, but they were idiots who wouldn’t get in the way even if they were alive, so they put off killing them for now.
“Heeheeeee!!”
─Thump!
Seeing me knocking out four people in three seconds, that idiot fell to the floor. I stepped on the pitiful man’s stomach and laid him down.
“Keeheuk!”
“From now on, answer my questions.”
“Kuhhhhh… !! I-I’m sure I’ll be able to survive with this kind of shit——”
“Ask a question!! To answer!! You bastard!!”
I kicked the side of the guy who was reciting trite lines. I lost my strength, but it must have felt like being beaten with a hammer by that bastard.
“Quaaaaa!!!”
“Shh! Siddhaloma. It’s annoying when the guards come. Let’s just say our words and break up.”
─Ouddeuk! Puck! Jump! Match!
I spent about 3 minutes making this bastard know where he was. It is Vector-Super True Education, a one-on-one CC.
“Please drop everything!!”
The man exclaimed. His teeth were knocked out, so his pronunciation was crap, but his motivation was transmitted. I sat down on a nearby chair.
“Whoa, yes. They say they kidnap children, but are you the main culprit?”
“Ahimmi! That’s Jingganxiangin Immi!”
“Is there someone else who buys the babies? What kind of guys are they?”
“It’s a man who wrote love!”
“Use what? Sipalum, don’t you pronounce it correctly?”
“Lo, Rob! Rob im me! Rob! Fuck the man who wrote it!”
Said the man, splattering blood on the floor. They were guys I knew. No, I don’t know who it is yet, but I have the same impression as the guys who made a deal with the thieves last time.
“Yes. Did you sell your children to them?”
“It’s a pity! When he was salting, he gave up after going around the guard rom-dri sequence!”
“Oh shit. Pronounced correctly. Are you saying the guards turned around and gave up?”
“Nh!!”
“What about the other thieves besides you? You guys said earlier that you got out of the kidnapping business. Can I assume the other guys are like that too?”
“Okay! He’s caught by the guards, he’s sleeping!”
“With pleasure. Then–“
I was trying to subdue this bastard by slapping her chin, but I avoided her head with a frown. ─Quack! A knife was thrown at my head and lodged in the wall behind me.
“Is that a housewarming gift? Why don’t you throw it a little lightly?”
“I didn’t think I would avoid it.”
It was a man in a black robe who threw the knife at me.
Damn, I can see why the guards beat the first bread. From head to toe, he was a suspicious-looking bastard. I think it’s okay to hit him and talk to him.
‘Am I going to look suspicious like that too?’
As I shuddered at the thought, the man who had been hit by me cried out as his teeth erupted.
“Alton!! Kill!! Kill this bastard!!”
“Be quiet at night and keep your nose, you bastard.”
I roughly struck the bastard’s head, knocked him out, and drew my sword. The man in the black robe was just watching.
“Who else are you, are you interfering? I’d be so damn grateful if it was the guy who bought the kidnapped kids.”
“Whoop whoop. You said you were a kid before, but now you say you’re a kid? It is difficult to hide your identity.”
A fucking asshole is so quick to notice. I clicked my tongue.
“It’s done. Let’s exchange questions. We’re all set to kill each other anyway, but you can tell the truth.”
“I will refuse. It’s a job where you don’t live long if you talk lightly!”
─Whisper!!
While talking, a knife suddenly flew. Two knives thrown with a time difference aimed at the stomach and head.
I removed the knife aiming at my stomach with my sword and turned my head to avoid it. The limbs, which I could control more precisely through acrobatics, easily succeeded in my reckless attempts.
“Hmm?!”
I ran to the surprised man.
Did he say his name was Alton? It doesn’t matter. Suppress if you can, kill if you can’t.
I, who was about to swing the sword like that, changed my mind. My heightened senses let me know that the distance was still far away. Even if I attacked like this, that guy would either dodge or miss.
‘Then.’
─Fuck!
Kicked the man who fell to the floor. As the cleverly kicked torso flew in quickly, Alton, who was wary of my attack, slowed down his reaction.
“Keugh?!”
Alton bumped into the stunned pup, causing his stance to falter.
In that state, you will not be able to dodge the attack. – Booung! My fist, which held onto Killgak, pounded hard on his stomach.
“Cheuk… ! No matter how strong…”
With a fist lodged in his stomach, Alton fell to his knees.
I immediately cut my shoulder and tried to break one arm, then pulled my head back again. ─Wheek! A knife passed in front of his nose, which Alton had fired with only the strength of his wrist.
‘This bastard is quite good.’
Alton pretended to be attacked by me and he tried to surprise me in 1v1. Somehow he spits out sounds like villains in a play, but that must have been a fake too.
─Tuck!
My hand grabbed the dagger as it passed in front of my face. Then, he thrust the throwing knife he grabbed into Alton’s shoulder.
“Mister! You left this behind!”
“Kahiah ah!”
As his stomach and shoulders were suppressed, Alton fell to his knees. There’s nothing wrong with this kid. I looked at him while shaking my hands.
“You still don’t feel like talking?”
“Keuheuk, heukhak… If that happens, things will be different.”
“Look at how quickly the cub changes his posture. Like it.”
The guy who proudly gave orders to him also fainted, so there would be no need for trust.
Originally gangsters, yakuza, and mafia, the more they pretend to be faithful, the more they pretend to take care of themselves.
They insist on faith or agreement because the only way to control their subordinates is with that kind of mentality, but when they can benefit, they betray faster than anyone else!
That is the essence of the dark society, which is the same in any world.
Alton said with a grin.
“There’s no way bloody retribution will come for betraying these guys. But contrary to what you might expect, I am not the buyer of the abducted children or their companions?”
“Under. Is it bad again? I’m fucking pissed off.”
It’s good that I quickly knew what I was here to do and answered, but it’s meaningless to listen to it because the content is poor.
As I raised my sword in irritation, Alton hurriedly shouted,
“Yeah, but I can tell you about them!”
“What do you know? I’ve already heard of it if it’s an impression.”
“They have floated Haysbent!”
─Stand up!
The sword that was about to strike stopped. I was going to hit the dagger with a pommel, but this bastard seemed to think I was going to kill him and rushed to pick up the horse.
I asked again as I raised my sword. The raised blade shone like a guillotine.
“The grounds?”
“Yes, common sense reasoning. If you’re a slave trader, there’s no reason to obsess over Haysbent. We’ve already caught 5 people and the security has become so tight, why would you stay here?”
“Yes. After all, is it your delusion?”
“I am a rogue who makes a living escorting and assassinating in the underworld. It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been here. There is an information network of its own within Haysbent, if not elsewhere.”
Alton said as his knife-clad arm trembled.
“However, most of the traders who could pay the high amount of illegal slaves either left Haysbent or had no reason to make thieves work.”
“I checked my personal connections and found no decent guy left?”
“Exactly. Theodore, who was lying there, hired me in case of Tosagupin, but the men who said they would buy slaves were foreigners.”
It was a story I heard from the leader of the thieves. The man I spoke with as a representative said he spoke like a foreigner.
“Foreign illegal merchants or businessmen all left before and after the day when the vigilance was tightened. This must have been my investigation to protect my life.”
Noticing that I was waiting for a word, Alton concluded with these words.
I listened to that and lowered my sword.
I don’t believe this bastard’s words, but didn’t Robert also say that the crime had entered a lull. Whether or not that was bullshit, there didn’t seem to be any information that would scare this bastard into spitting more.
He let out a small sigh and slapped Alton’s head.
“Geek.”
─Fluff!
Alton was hit in the temple and lost consciousness. I left the stunned Alton unattended and lead his sword.
Of the information obtained today, there was only one useful thing.
‘The culprit has already left the city… Are you saying he’s not a merchant?’
This may be considered as important information.
‘Because I narrowed down the candidates in my head.’
In any case, from now on, even if he threatened back alley bullies or wandered around as a bait for Fran, it seemed that he would not achieve much success.
I was lucky enough to find out, but that was the only information I got after 30 minutes of fussing in the back alleys.
‘I don’t want to be chased by the guards anymore.’
It was right after I thought so. ─Tat tat tat! I was startled when I heard footsteps running into this building.
Fuck! Aren’t they the guards? But where are you hiding?! It’s a fucking building, but it doesn’t even have windows in case it’s not a hideout for thugs!
─Suddenly!
The door opened and a person rushed in. It was franc.
“Wayne!!”
Frank, who cleverly shouted out the pseudonym, smiled as if relieved when he saw that I was fine. But I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the guards behind me.
I was so freaked out that I quickly turned off Beast Return, and Fran said.
“Oh, it’s okay! I explained the situation! I even told you where this kid is!”
“Nyahehe! (Thank you!)”
Talking proudly was a bitch who abandoned me.
It seemed like he knew where I was and brought me to him, considering that he abandoned me and jumped out. Maybe it’s because cats from another world have strong wild natures, so they can smell things well.
“Hey, what the hell is this?! What about these guys?!”
The guard shouted. Fuck. Covered the scene
“These guys are the ones who tried to kidnap the children of the city. It’s not the real culprit, but it looks like they’re accomplices.”
“Yes? Yeah?!”
Seeing the startled look of the guards, I thought it was time. I quickly asked him, who was confused and distracted.
“I am really sorry for causing controversy this time. Are you going to come to interrogate us later because of this incident? I’m sorry about that…”
“Yes? Oh no. It was because of our misunderstanding, so we have to apologize. I will not interrogate or visit you.”
OK. I was sure I gently hugged Fran.
“I see. Then I’ll leave it to you to take care of it.”
“Yes? Oh no! Wait! I don’t need an interrogation, but I need to explain these guys… !”
“As I said, you can arrest me! I’m sorry, but we didn’t intentionally raise our business, so please take a look! It has caused trouble in many ways!”
─Tattatat!
I took the franc on my back and ran away. After being caught and interrogated, it was self-evident that only work bothered me.
Bitch? I’ll take care of it. Give the reward later when we meet.
I went to the right alley and turned on the beast return only on my leg and chanted a spell.
“〈 Summon Cloud〉.”
─Fuhuaaaaa!!
While jumping, it created clouds on the soles of its feet. It landed on the roof of a nearby two-story building by adding pressure from a compression injection steam engine to the beast return jump.
– Chuck!
I landed on the roof and put down the francs.
“Whoa, I almost got into trouble.”
“Nor. Are you not hurt anywhere?”
“Yes. You’re perfectly fine.”
After stroking the worried Fran, we waited until the guards calmed down.
The acrobatics practice might have worked, but I was able to make some nimble and precise movements in today’s battle.
In order to get out of this siege, I had to hide on the roof and stay up all night.
