[There aren’t that many housekeepersShouldn’t it be easy if we attack them en masse?]

[But Ares Schwarzer was the hero who conquered GrantsIf possible, I want to avoid direct confrontation with himIt’ll be best to attack as quiet as possible when he least expects it]

Thus Bruno decided to attack duringthat it’s a one-way ticket to the afterlife

Bruno’s plan was to attack at the same time from two directionsGarma would lead 200 people from the front, while Bruno himself would lead a select few to attack from the rear

These select few that Bruno led… were former B-rank adventurers ere expelled due to bad conductBruno hired them to work as his assassins

Garma who attacked from the front was in an even more miserable condition

The butler snapped his fingers, and instantly, all 200 ed into a shadowy pit that appeared from under them

[What! This is!?]

[Nooo! Help me!]

[I-I don’t want to die!]

The butler s the assassins perish almost at the same time

[Well, that’s how your victims feel when you took their lifeJust stay down there for now… even I feel sick fro to deal retches like you]

And just like that, everyone but Garma ed by the darkness

[Wha… what in the world]

Garma retreatedBut the butler also moved in slowly to approach him

[Well then… I have several questions for you… let’s hope that you’re willing to tellthat, Garma chose to run wildly onto the opposite direction

This is terribleIt’s a haunted house, he thought

That anizations declined the offer so easily

They knewThey knew that the target was an opponent that cannot be trifled with

[In any case, I have to escape… hopefully boss also got away just fine…]

He ran and ran… not daring to even look back because he could sensed the butler’s presence behind hi to, but he knew that he’d die if he stopped running
