Vol 1 Chapter 13 (2/2)

Although he was confused, Lucien didn’t think much about why he was discovered so fast. He took a light sigh, and decided that he will be circling to another city gate, and went home. He would take out all the Silver Niars and Copper Fiers, and hide in somewhere else. Not a big deal, I could still talk to John and be an apprentice brewer in Sir Wayne’s manor.

Andre and Magg argued by a minute or so and realized that Lucien really was gone. They became really upset. Jackson was famous for his cruelty, there won’t be anything good happen if they messed up their mission.

“Magg, aren’t you alway boasting about you Barbarian ancestor, and saying that you can distinguish the smells in the air?” Andre suddenly had an idea.

Magg touched his bald head, and answered in his gruff voice, “I’ve never thought of that. Sometimes I can, sometimes it won’t work.”

Lucien was on pins and needles again when he heard the conversation, he had just traveled for several days, there lacked an understanding of the world in his plans.

Magg stood up and took a deep breath. All of a sudden he started yelling excitedly, “I smelled that d.a.m.n bloke’s stink!”

While he was yelling, Magg run toward the place where Lucien was hiding, and Andre followed him.

Lucien turned and started running once he heard Magg, and tried to break away from them with speed.

Who knows, even Magg was tall and fat and had heavy muscles on his upper body, he ran fast. The distance between him and Lucien was getting shorter, Magg would be gripping Lucien’s coat-tails if there weren’t some trees stopping him.

The woods near River Beleń were spa.r.s.e, Lucien’s sight widen after a while, which meant that he cannot use agility and the trees to escape for Magg.

However, Lucien didn’t get too frightened to think. There’s much less pressure from Magg, in comparison to a high-order Squire-like Gary, not to mention the ma.s.sive rats.

“I can’t run anymore, I need to utilize the distance between Andre and Magg, and beat Magg up first.” Lucien quickly decided.

While Lucien was on full alert and ready to strike, Magg’s excited battle cry sounded from behind.

Lucien made a sudden stop, bowed his body, lowered his body, pushed his feet hard, and crashed into Magg’s body.

Magg didn’t know that Lucien was gonna stop, his body kept going forward. He subconsciously stroke back with his right fist, but Lucien, who was much better prepared, dodged it. The fist could only swing through above Lucien’s head.

Once Lucien knocked into Magg’s arms, he made a heavy blow with the tightened right fist. Magg’s stomach rumbled, and his throat almost felt like throwing up, Magg couldn’t stop but start moaning painfully.

A hit like that won’t hurt Magg much, because of his “one sixteenth Barbarian blood”. After a second, Magg soon recovered and stroke with his elbow down.

Yet before Magg even recovered from dizziness, Lucien bent his right knee and hit fiercely and accurately at the s.p.a.ce between Magg’s two legs.

“Aaaaaaa!!!”

Magg, who was too hybrid to be viewed as a Barbarian, screamed with shrill and agony. He covered his crotch and tumbled back and forth on the ground with great pain.

Andre, who just got close, felt a sudden chill in his crotch when he saw that, and immediately slow down.

Lucien didn’t waste any time and started running again. Andre was holding a flas.h.i.+ng dagger, but there wasn’t anything that he could use as weapons nearby. Plus Lucien knew nothing about how strong Andre was, and Magg, who was still a big guy, would recover soon.

Andre chased him for a little longer, and noticed that his distance with Lucien was getting further, and thus stopped.

…………………

“It’s really insecure without power and strength in that world, I’m not even allowed to make a little money like that.” Facing current circ.u.mstance, Lucien sighed silently with emotion, some hidden attempts in his mind emerges again.

It was nine o’clock in the morning, Lucien, who just went back from the gate in Nolan District, was approaching his home cautiously, trying to take back all his money. He realized that Andre and Magg knew him, his relations.h.i.+p with Cohen, and possibly where he lived. Hope that I was faster than them, or I was just working for nothing for the last couple days, not to mention that I angered a bunch of ruffians and bullies.

Lucien hid behind the wall of a house nearby and looked at his house. He didn’t see anyone yet. While he attempted to find someone and ask, Lucien saw a dozen of men walking toward his house fiercely.

An ordinary-looking man pointed at his house, and then a strong young man walked out, and kicked the door hard, the half-broken wooden door was officially broken now.
