Volume 7 Chapter 2: Who's the Friend? Who's the Foe?
The carriage driver was still waiting within the courtyard; it wasn't that he hadn't tried to escape, but rather, he was being blocked by Plum's servants
”Use e!” Plum said
”Use o out ordinarily,” Sheila responded She wished for Aiwa to use her carriage instead
She really wanted to do soht such happiness to her
”Hehe, it's the sahed
”Who wants your iven le carriage?”
Plu her
”No, this is an official errand, payiven for sure Moreover, I needn't pay as he will be doing so”
Aiwa pointed towards the carriage driver
”I … I don't have money!” The driver was persistent
Aiwa advanced forward, fished out a purse froold coins
He concurred the hiave theht?”
”Do as you wish, I only want you to visit whenever you have the time”
Though a bit unwilling in her heart, Plum didn't reveal it on her face Her second mother and she had now both boarded the same shi+p
They accoe, before reluctantly turning around once they had lost sight of the carriage
As soon as they left the village, Aiwa let the carriage driver take over They started to gallop towards the ravine
By the time he arrived, he could see the two soldiers at the bottoes
Aiwa first tied up the driver to the cart He then tied the long rope he had received froe tree and threw the free end down
The soldiers cli a glimpse of him almost made them want to chop him up
”Stop! We still need him to deliverback, she'll handle things properly”
Aiwa never believed Lovna had hired the driver to injure hin of someone else
The soldiers received their weapons backs and followed Aiwa on the carriage
Due to the delay at accoht had already passed by the tie had reached the Mandeff base
While they were traveling, Aiwa noticed a giant windmill a kilometer away from their destination
”What's that?”
Aiwa felt curious and ie
”Seems to be a windmill of some sorts,” The soldiers replied
As the three of theiant winde and rove on the wayside
He knew that the moment they reach the base, it would spell his doom If he hadn't run now, there would be no more chances The soldiers planned to chase after him when they saw his actions but Aiwa stopped them
”He won't be able to escape”
Aiwa raised his hand and threo bamboo needles towards the driver
He dropped flat down just as he was about to disappear into the woods
”Search hiold coins on him!” Aiwa ordered them
The soldiers immediately hurried to search his body for the purse
”Captian, this ought to be yours”
They didn't dare to be greedy, handing it over to Aiwa
”Consider it as your reward Tell Lovna after returning back that I made the driver stay behind”
They were naturally happy for receiving such an amount and immediately asked if they could do more for him: ”Captain, do you have any other commands? Please order us”
”Return the carriage”
Aiwa gave theinally wanted to order them to protect Lady Plum and Madame Sheila but since they both were also members of a rich fa able to stay safe for so many years Therefore, he just ordered thee
The soldiers boarded the carriage and made their way towards the Hohfeld Headquarters while Aiwa traveled to Mandeff alone
The winder as he neared the base
He was surprised to see no sentinels visible anywhere near the base He had iuard at every five to ten steps
Aiwa looked around; only wilderness came into his view Even the lookout posts seemed devoid of any person as the damned place wouldn't have any visitors
After entering the base, he discovered that the colossus constituted of not only a windears underneath Several poles seeiant wooden wheel securely, even a powerful gust wouldn't cause them to shake at all
Aiwa pondered for a ure out its purpose
He continued to walk inside and noticed a huge drill ground nearby, a squadron wearing a special attire were currently being admonished by someone He deduced it to be the one Lovna spoke of; the Demon Instructor Cartel
He walked over towards Cartel at the drill ground, but he acted as if Aiasn't there at all, continuing to adant manner
Aiwa arrived aside Cartel, waiting for a long time, still hadn't he paused to look at him
”ExcuseI need to speak to you about” Aiwa helplessly called out
”Who are you?”
Cartel paused, taking a look at Aiwa, his pupils seeht at his eyes
His sight then quickly flashed by Aiwa's shoulders and then behind hiined
He asked: ”Did you coe?”
”I'm Aiwa, from Hohfeld”
Aiwa took the recommendation letter Lovna had written for hiht the letter from his hand and took it Aias baffled as to hoas able to easily open the envelope and take out the letter with those thick gloves on his hands
Cartel casually glanced over at the sign at the lower right, Lovna's sign h the letter
”Haha, a graduate from the East Empire?”
Cartel glanced at Aiwa oncefrom his expression
”Yes, Instructor I'm your junior!”
Hearing Cartelabroad, Aiwa inevitably felt proud
”Juniormore than that!”
Cartel seemed to have transformed into another person suddenly Aiwa could only react after soid
Apparently, he seemed to be quite the eccentric He simply couldn't be considered human, with the lack of emotions shown
Aiwa originally wanted to form some kind of relation with Cartel but he had instead been hu even his subordinates to burst out laughing
When Cartel had humiliated him, Aiwa only felt aard but he now felt furious
He thought: ”Haven’t you only got a few more years of experience? How could I let you humiliate me when I don't even know your skill? For what reason did you feel that you had the right to do so?”
Aiwa corrected his h the twenty or so students around there Giving out an angry laugh, he purposely said to Cartel: ”Captain Cartel, I merely said I'ry?”
When had Cartel ever received such a blatant provocation? He suddenly grabbed Aiwa's wrist and grappled it upwards instantly
If it were not for Aiwa ju timely, his wrist would have snapped off At the sas, shooting theined that Aiwa's attack would just repel off, ale air ball Cartel squeezed his hand and threa back as if he was nothing
Aiwa's body sh it would appear as if Cartel hadn't used th, he still felt cold sweat down his back If not for using the Dou Qi barrier to defend hians would have surely turned into mush from the oscillations of the impact
Even then, Aiwa still experienced a violent pain
”Hah … that throw almost killed me …”
Aias no doubt exaggerating the pain he felt but it couldn't be concealed froaze
Cartel laughed heartily
”Brat, you have the nerve to use Dou Qi to attack me? I'll let you know, just pick any random student from the base and their Dou Qi would be no lesser than yours You unexpectedly want to show off with Dou Qi! Who wants to punish this brat? Ree it or use Dou Qi to resist, there will only be two consequences -- -- Get lost from the base or let everyone here piss in your mouth!”
”Pienne wishes to punish this youngster for daring to offend the Instructor!”
Aiwa still hadn't stood up when the soldier who had been knocked down by Aiwa just now came out from within the ranks
Pienne received the Wolf Teeth Mace from Cartel, its thorns were quite hard and sharp Aiwa could i hit by it
Pienne played with the ainst his hand, as he made towards Aiith a sneer: ”Brother, I don't want to darade Captain army clothes, hoill you endure the cold weather without them? I say you should strip them off! I don't have the money to compensate for them even if you ask me!”
”What bullshi+t Captain? Even a Colonel will have to do as I say here!”
Cartel spoke with much loathe in his tone
Not only had Aiwa not received any preferential treat used as an outlet by Cartel for his grievances against her Aiwa regretted giving the recommendation letter to him now
Aiwa slowly straightened his body and calmly removed his shi+rt He quite cherished his shi+rt sy his Captain arht
He gazed at Pienne coldly as he stood up, cursing hiood end for acting against me!”
Aiwa still hadn't prepared to receive a beating when the ainst his unprepared abdomen He bent over immediately and then his back suffered another hit soon after
He was about to straighten up again when he felt a violent stab of pain at his chest, but his developed h speed, s towards Pienne's face
