Chapter 138: Ungrateful (2/2)

It wasn't because he was afraid that he didn't do it yet, he was just cautious.

But.

”Young sir,” Mus called out again.

Hearing him, Harou glanced and asked, ”what?” With a slightly annoyed face.

”I think I know of the reason why these people destroyed the bridge… hehe,” said Mus gesturing like a smart man.

Harou threw a look at Crimson and Ember. Ember's eyebrow twitched. He wanted to challenge this Harou. On their previous duels, he never won even for once, but he wasn't afraid to try again. —A man can only become stronger after so many defeats!— This is what he believes in.

”Speak!” Harou bid Mus for what he wanted to say.

A grin appeared in Mus's mouth. ”You see young sir, it was only my baseless hunch—”

”Speak right away! I don't need some unnecessary talks!” Harou slightly raised his voice. He didn't like Mus' way of indirect speaking.

”...ahem, I mean young sir, this guy can summon some bird creatures that can be mounted by two-person each. Hehe!”

”I see,” Harou squinted his eyes towards Crimson. Looks like this person was a summoner type.

”Can he summon multiple at once?” He wanted to make sure.

”Yes sir! We saw it with our own eyes. Although this per—” Mus was not able to finish his words as he saw Harou's hand raised slightly.

It also clear that Harou wasn't in the mood for chitchat.

”.....”

Yman remained quiet. At the moment, the other participants together with this guy named Harou were gripping their weapons. Everyone was seemingly readying themselves for a brawl.

”Is it true…?” Harou asked Crimson in a chilly and demanding voice. Now he was serious. If it was true, then those birds were the only saving grace for all of them. If this guy remained unperturbed. There was nothing they could do but to use force.

(Sigh.)

Based on his previous battle on Public Square, he believed that this person was a mage-type. A class of

a magician with tricky spells but weak physically.

He was wary only by his summon that the scout reported. But with the number of False Path Experts at his back. He believed that this guy wouldn't stand a chance if he tried to fight back. His only choice was to give up and hand those birds to them. If not, there was only death that awaits him. Also, this Crimson man looked exhausted.

”Fufu,” However, after a sigh, they heard him chuckling. Then, ”what of it, huh?!” Ember chimed with his unconcern arrogance.

Yman noticed the leftover participants raised their weapons. Oddly enough, they point their weapons to Crimson's group. Although some of them were having skeptical faces, they were puzzled about which side to favor.

”Ungrateful traitors!” Cinder and gnashed her teeth.

Ember, Taflas, and Tiafel readied themselves. Aegor on the other hand looked everywhere. He didn't expect this development. He glanced at Crimson and noticed that he was as calm as ever.

Yman slightly frowned. They were surrounded. It was a bad situation.

He saw the guy named Mus, grinning from ear to ear.

”Crimson! Let's kill them all!” Ember shouted.

”Hah!” He sighed again. ”There's no point in fighting,” he replied to Ember.

”Eh?!”

They never thought for Crimson to not retaliate. He was supposed to be battle-freaked. It was unexpected for them that he said that.

”Crimson? What do you mean,” Cinder asked while darting her eyes to the front and beside her.

”Sorry, but we have no chance of winning against this many,” he said then stepped in front.

”What?!” Ember, Cinder, and the others were surprised at him.

Harou with knitted brows stared at him.

Yman glanced at Mus and the other participants. He saw their wide grinning faces. Then he returned his eyes to Harou.

”You want my summon birds right?” He asked.

Harou finally broke into a smile, but he didn't lower his guard.

With a wave of his hand.

(Poof! Poof! Poof!)

Three birds appeared before them.

Cinder and Ember wanted to stop him but it was too late.
