Chapter 67: Face Smashing! (1/2)
”Lady, before I answer your question, can the honorable appraiser tell me when did you notice us following after you?” Curtis asked in a calm voice while looking at Elliot.
Elliot's lips thinned into a chilling smile and he taunted them with a straight face, ”You guys are so incompetent that I knew you were following after us the moment we left the artifact gallery.”
The eyes of Curtis's followers twitched as they felt angered at his remark, but they didn't dare to move, patiently waiting for the order of their commander.
”Honorable appraiser sure is fearless, taunting others even in such a dangerous situation,” Curtis said, flashing an amiable smile towards them, making Lisa and Elliot think that this person is a two-faced snake, a hypocrite.
”Danger? Don't tell me you guys are the danger? Oh my god, I'm so afraid that my legs are trembling in fear.” Elliot said, trying to act scared, but he found his act so funny that he couldn't hold it in and started to laugh out loud.
”I'm also afraid. Master, please comfort me!” Lisa said while hugging and looking at him with eyes that were begging him to pat her in the head.
”Oh my, oh my, don't be afraid, young lass. Everything's going to be fine. Master will give his all to protect you from the wind and rain, and the dirt that lays filth on our land.” Elliot said rhythmically, patting her head.
Seeing that they are taunting them in order to have a laugh, the eyes of Curtis and the men in black twitched in annoyance.
”Honorable appraisers, I warn you, don't be so sarcastic lest you end up regretting your actions,” Curtis said, pulling out a sword from the sheath strapped around his waist and pointing it at Harley and Joker.
The rest of the men in black followed his actions and also pulled out melee weapons, pointing them at the two in the center of the commotion being taken place in the most vacant alley of the entire city, threatening them to stop disrespecting them.
Lisa raised her hands in surrender, signifying that she's willing to give up without a fight.
”Ah sure,” Elliot stopped laughing, acting as if he is really afraid this time, but to be honest, he wasn't as they were too weak compared to him, and he could defeat them easily.
”Mind telling us why you guys are here?” Lisa asked the stalkers, taking the words right out of Elliot's mouth!
”We just want to escort honorable Joker back to our base,” Curtis replied, exposing his intention to the two of them.
”So many people just to escort me? How about you be more sincere? What exactly are you planning to do?” Elliot said while looking at Curtis.
Curtis looked back at him, staring right into his eyes with a mocking smile on his face. ”We will be taking you all for ourselves. We will enslave you and force you to work for ourselves. You'll start exclusively working in our dungeon, and as long as you behave well, you'll gain a lot of benefits – women, money, sex slaves, and artifacts, anything you can think of.”
”He already has all of that, so how about you fuck off?” Lisa said out loud laughingly, and at the same time, using her ability, causing rocky spikes to protrude out of the ground beneath their feet.
The spikes were about to land a strike on the chest of several men in black, when in that very instant, an overbearing force landed on them, crushing them in the blink of an eye, shattering them into dozens of pieces before they could bring any harm to the anyone.
