Chapter 176 - Shinobi? (4) (1/2)

”What do you mean?” One of the black clothed men asked the Hylotl.

”Exactly as I said.” The Hylotl calmly answered, ”Fujiwara's young master is currently on his way, and he wishes to meet with those that saved his brother.”

”Saved?” The black clothed looked over John, Peri and company.

”Yes, yes.” The Hylotl said, ”They are not enemies, they saved Second Young Master.”

”It doesn't matter.” The assassin said to Hylotl before turning his eyes to Peri, ”If they really saved Second Young Master they should just obediently give him back to us.” His eyes clearly showed disgust as his locked at the Floran, Peri.

”Not going to happen.” John interjected with a grim expression, ”How are we going to know that you won't kill him, or kidnap him?”

”You aren't.” The assassin sneered and glared at John, ”Just give Fujiwara Saito to us and we won't kill all of you.”

”You can try to take him.” Peri barred her teeth at the assassin and fearlessly smiled.

”I should have expected nothing less from a barbaric Floran.” The assassin commented while shaking his head, ”Looks like you have chosen to die here, right?” While his tone sounded regretful, he wasn't the least feeling that way, in fact, he really wanted to just forward and kill the Floran.

”No!” The Hylotl entered in the assassin's way and stopped him from doing any other harsh decision, ”Young Master said to not touch them.”

The assassin, that was a few centimeters higher than the Hylotl, looked down with a stoic face and frosty eyes at him, ”Get! Out!”

”No-” The Hylotl was about to break down and try to convince the assassin when he felt his PIPS vibrate. He threw a quick glance and his eyes brightened like he found a savior, ”Miss Aoi is calling.”

The assassin immediately stopped on his tracks and stared at the Hylotl's PIPS.

”Don't hurt the ones with Second Young Master.” Everyone in vicinity heard the feminine, warm and gentle voice coming from the Hylotl's PIPS, ”Do you hear me?”

”Yes...” The assassin shuddered as he heard the voice. His pupils shrunk in fear.

Even the other two assassins shuddered alongside the other one. It was clear that whoever was the owner of that voice, the assassin's clearly dreaded her.

”Retreat!” With his shout, him and the other two assassins disappeared from sight.

The Hylotl sighed in relief.

He turned towards John and his friends.

They didn't low their guards and cautiously stared at him.

The Hylotl forced a smile and said somewhat stiffly, ”My young master wishes to meet with all of you.”

John squinted his eye and tapped at Lenny's shoulder indicating for him to low his weapons. ”Who is your young master?” John wasn't going to meet someone just because the other one wanted to meet with him.

”Fujiwara Rei.” The Hylotl answered, ”The successor of the current head of the Fujiwara clan and future leader of the Sea Faction.”

John's eyebrow jumped. He didn't expect for the other party to be this important. He glanced at Saito that was still cowering behind Peri and then turned to the Hylotl, ”What is his relationship with this kid here?”

”They are brothers.” The Hylotl calmly answered, ”Fujiwara Saito is the second young master of the clan. He was supposed to be traveling with their uncle, but something happened in the space station they were and then we lost all communication with second young master. We thought he had been kidnapped or killed, but from the looks of it, you guys saved him. For that, Fujiwara clan will be greatly thankful.” The Hylotl than bowed and said apologetically, ”I'm sorry about our shinobis, they were harsh acted on their own.”

John waved his hand indicating that it was alright, ”I don't really mind since nothing tragic happened, luckily.”
