73 Cross (2/2)

Uvo smashed his fist on the cemented stair and yelled \”Damn it!! He just one shoted me! And not only that he looked uninterested at me when he punched me!\”

Nobunaga rubbed his head in headache and said \”Damn it Ugo, stop yelling so much, it hurts my head\”

Nobunaga wears a classic Japanese style robe and short pants, while his belly and ankles are tied up inside by a sarashi. He has long hair that he ties into a single topknot and leaves his beard and mustache unshaven.

\”Shut up\” A quiet voice sounded on their right. It was Fei Tian who just woke up with a headache.

\”Don't speak at me like that Fei Tian, at least I am not as injured as you, midget\” Ugo said smugly while he is resting on the cemented stair.

Fei Tian stood up before he disappeared and reappeared in front of Ugo's face. He had his sword on his left hand pointing it at Ugo's neck.

\”Why don't you say that to my face, huh!?\” He looks at Ugo with his dark and furious eyes as he said that.

\”Huh!? Then let's take this outside!\” Ugo said angrily and stood up before looking down on Fei Tian.

Ugo is a tall man, probably the tallest out of all of them. So it is obvious he is taller than Fei Tian, who is the shortest of em all.

\”Just because you're taller than me, doesn't mean I can't kill you,\” Fei Tian said.

\”C'mon!\” Ugo readied his stance to fight Fei Tian when suddenly the boss closed his book and all of them instantly sat down with a calm expression.

It is a rule in here when the boss closes his book, they have to shut up or else the boss will punish them.

\”I've decided, we shall all hunt down the man named Tatsuya Shoyo and we will take care of him thoroughly\” The boss announced in front of all of them.

Their base is an abandoned building in an abandoned village they massacred themselves. Inside it is 12 people.

All of them listened to their boss, Cross. The ambition of Cross to hunt down Michael. And right now, they are dispersing in groups to hunt him. Every group has at least 3 people in it, so in total there are 4 groups.

There are still many unknown members of the gang, so stay tuned to know them.

-Just After Fink Su disappeared-

Michael was about to strike Fink Su when he suddenly disappeared. As a result, the sword hit the empty ground.

Michael lifted his sword before unsheathing it and looked around for his enemies. When they didn't show up in his field of vision, he finally caught on.

\”They disappeared,\” Michael said disappointed.

\”I was just about to kill him too, maybe it's their mysterious boss who teleported them out of here\” He speculated that their boss was behind this.

He shook his head and said \”No use crying over a spilled milk I guess\” He looks at the sleeping Jing Fei on his back and wondered how did she sleep through all that.

Yes, Jing Fei was behind Michael this whole time.

\”I need to get out of here, this place is not safe for Jing Fei\” Michael dashed to the entrance of the Auction House.

After arriving at the entrance of the Green Jade Auction, he instantly disappeared from his location. He jumped on top of the roof of a house and continued to jump to various roofs until they both arrived at the City Lord's mansion.

-Next Day-

The entire city was thrown into a state of panic when the City Lord died.

The upper echelons of the City tried to hide the fact that the City Lord is already dead so that the city won't fall into a panic but somehow the news came out to the city.

Michael learned the name of the gang that attacked the Auction yesterday. The name is Phantom Thieves. They have been existing since 30 years ago, even though some of the members look quite young but all of them are in their hundreds.

On top of being thieves, they are also mass murderers. If everyone counted the people they have killed, it would be around hundreds of thousands of people they had killed all these years.

Earlier this morning, after Jing Fei woke up she vowed she would train until she is strong enough to kill the Phantom Thieves. It seems like the death of her father took a huge toll on her little mind.

Michael tried to comfort her but she said that she was okay and made Michael leave the house. He doesn't know why she chased him out of her house but nonetheless, he left.

Michael wanted to help her but she just shood him away, so Michael just left and thought 'Maybe she will calm down after a few days.'

Michael rented a room in one of the popular inn in the city: Grass Inn. And stayed there while scrolling down his Phone.

Sigh

\”I would've made a huge PP in that auction, if only they didn't come\” Michael said sighed in sadness. He would've been a rich man again.

\”Unfortunately for me, that was the only auction in this city and I would have to travel to another city to find another auction again\”
