Chapter 156: Elixir (1/2)
While Yman, Sistela, and Rea were buying potions, in one of the corners of the market, some people in black clothing were whispering in hush voices.
They were currently inside a dark alley in which the light coming from the sun could not reach.
Four people, all were covered in dark clothing from head to toe. If someone saw them, they would think the same thing. That these groups of people were suspicious.
A second later, the shadow in front of them seemingly distorted and another person in black cloth appeared in front of them.
”Fang, what's the matter, why you came back so soon?” Said the person in front of the person who just appeared.
”Sorry Boss Scar, but I have good news,” said the person called Fang.
”Good news is it? Don't beat on the bush! Speak!” The person named Boss Scar yelled in a controlled volume.
”We saw the target!” Just as the boss wants, Fang immediately reported.
”Really!?”
”Yes, boss!”
”Then, where?”
”That person is here in the market!”
”What?! Are you sure?!”
”Yes! Boss!”
”You know the consequences if you're lying right?”
”I won't dare, boss!”
The eyes peeking the hood of the boss gleamed like the eyes of the predator after hearing Fang's words.
”Hehehe,” he grinned and wetted his lips with his tongue.
”Is she surrounded by the soldiers from the palace?” Scar asked.
He wasn't afraid of them but it would be troublesome since they were inside the Empire. It would easy for them to send reinforcements to capture the rest. If they wanted to catch the prey, they needed to do it quickly and soundlessly. They could not apply the same strategy used by those idiots who came first. Blindly charging to the target is the work of unprofessional assassins.
If they wanted to abduct someone, they should do it stealthily.
After hearing his Boss's question, Fang opened his mouth saying, ”No Boss! But…”
”But?”
”….I saw a handsome young man together with her! Might be a boyfriend?”
”What!? Are you sure it's her?”
”No doubt Boss!”
Scar's face under the hood was twitching.
'A boyfriend, huh! That girl! No wonder she refused His Highness proposal!'
”.....”
Fang noticed his Boss went silent.
Scar was pondering, it was very unusual and doubtful that someone who was being targeted recently is carelessly strolling in a place like this. Aside from that, they couldn't let some random guy together with the princess other than their highness.
”I see. Hehehe, this is perfect. Let's kill him in front of her. Call others! Make sure you surround them!”
”But boss, don't we need to report it to His Highness?” Fang asked.
”We will when we catch them!”
”Ah, I see, okay Boss!” After saying it, Fang's figure sank in the shadow and disappeared shortly.
At the same time that Crimson and Rea arrived at the potion vendor stall, some people in black clothing were hiding the close buildings around. They were eyeing the two while waiting for the right timing to strike.
”Boss, look! There they are!” From the window of one of the buildings, Fang pointed towards the direction of a young man and a young girl in front of the potion vendor.
”Mhm. No need to point out. I saw them.”
”Uh, so-sorry Boss…”
”Tell the others to wait for my signal.”
”Okay,” after saying it, his figure disappeared again.
