Chapter 107: A Hidden Safe (1/2)

The staffer then saw the sword that was drenched with blood and the injured Lu Xiao. He realized the severity of the situation as fear appeared on his face.

”I-I'll… go call the guards.” The staffer said as he turned back to run downstairs, without even being prompted to.

A few seconds later the staffer was gone, as he shouted out for help.

”Well, that was easy. Onto the next part then.” Lin Mu spoke.

The others nodded, and Lin Mu turned around to go out through another balcony that opened to the front of the town center. This balcony opened above the mercenaries that were standing outside the town center. This was also the very balcony that the mayor used for giving his announcements and orders to the common people.

Lin Mu made sure that he made enough noise to attract attention. To do this, he slammed open the door of the balcony and walked onto it. The noise of the doors slamming attracted the attention of the people as they looked up at the balcony.

”Is the mayor going to do an announcement today?” A commoner said.

”Huh, has he finally decided to see us?” A mercenary spoke with dull eyes. Evidently, he was under the effect of the memory confounding powder.

”No! Who is that?” A few people shouted after seeing Lin Mu appear on the balcony disguised in the black clothes of the culprits.

People pointed at Lin Mu, and he noticed this.

'At least they see me.' Lin Mu thought.

Lin Mu then looked to the side and jumped onto the lower roof that was to the side. Then from there he ran forward and leaped on to the building that was next to him. Lin Mu would have taken this route before instead of leaving from the office, as this was much easier, but the people would have seen him.

But now that very fact was helping him. Lin Mu ensured that he made flamboyant moves so that the people remembered him here. It was now that Hei Bao appeared from on the balcony and looked at Lin Mu.

”Catch him! He murdered the Town Head and the Vice Captain.” Hei Bao shouted.

The people who were not paying attention to Hei Bao were now definitely paying attention to him. Some of them had seen him enter the town center along with Hei Wan and knew that he was important seeing the respectful treatment they got from the staffers.

Shocked expressions appeared on everyone's faces, which eventually changed to horror. It was only now that Hei Bao's words clicked into their minds.

”WHAT! What did he say?” Someone shouted.

”The town Head and the vice captain has been murdered!” Someone shouted while running away, intending to alarm the rest of the people.

Hei Bao then followed Lin Mu the same way he had gone by jumping down onto the lower roof and tailing after him. They passed over the roof of the buildings and houses, making people not able to track them.

Unknown to the people, Lin Mu and Hei Bao had stopped after a few buildings, and Lin Mu had changed into different clothes. He would change into his normal clothes after he was inside the town center.

”You need to get back to the town center now. Make sure no one sees you.” Hei Bao spoke.

”Yes.” Said Lin Mu, while nodding his head.

Lin Mu then got on to the ground in a separate alley and returned to the area where the town center was. He climbed back to the roof using the previous building where he had climbed onto the carriage from and then blinked onto the balcony of the town head's office.

The crowd of people were still alarmed and were no longer paying attention to the balcony, thus it was easy for him to enter back again. After entering the office, he quickly changed back into his normal clothes and peeked outside the room into the hallway.
