Chapter 302 - Notorious Bandits (2) (2/2)
They looked around, trying to find any person around. The boss looked up the second floor and saw light seeping out from the slightly opened - door. That door should be the entrance to the village leader's office.
The boss took the flight of stairs going to the second floor.
”Boss, should we still look down here?” One of the bandits asked.
”Yes, I am sure that his daughter should be around here somewhere.” The boss replied. ”But remember not to lay a finger on her until I do, or I will cut out your hand.” He said menacingly.
”We understand boss.” The two replied in unison.
The boss continued to climb up the stairs and walked towards the slightly opened door. He took a peek and saw someone sitting on the chair with the back facing him. The boss grinned after seeing the person he thought the village leader.
”Well, well, well. You gave us such a hard time village leader.” The boss said with a proud demeanor. ”I never thought you had the money to hire those mercenaries. Maybe you have sold a lot of your valuable just to pay them.”
The person seating on the chair remained silent with the bandit boss' words and this made him curious.
”Do you know what that Crimson Mercenary b*stard had done to my group?” The boss' voice started to get high pitched. ”They have killed few of my good men. They have disrupted my business dealing with other villages. And to think you as well have done the same and hire them.”
The person still did not reply to the bandit boss' words. This made him irritated but still calmed himself down.
”Heh, you will pay the price for what you did. My men have probably deal with the mercenaries by now, and that means this village is ours for the taking. I will spare your life for old times sake, but with a price. I want your daughter in bed with me this night.” The boss said. ”I remember your little girl was quite a beauty when she was still young. By now she must have grown to a beautiful lady. Be thankful that I was the one to choose her. If it was my subordinates, then I cannot guarantee she will be left unscathed.”
There was no reaction to the boss' words. It was as if all of his words were given to deaf ears. This infuriated the boss even more. He quickly took out is big battle ax that was saddled at his back.
”Will you say nothing!” The boss yelled. ”I will cut you down where you sit you mother f*cker!” He swore.
Then the seat turned around ever so slowly. The boss' eye that was not hidden in an eye patch went wide. He was shocked looking at the person seating on the chair.
”W-Who are you?” The boss said with goose bumps.
The man seating on the chair was a young man with black hair and blue eyes. All the hair on the boss' body stood in attention. He can feel the terrifying aura the young man was emitting.
”Y-You are not the village elder.” The boss said. ”Who are you and where is the village elder!” He demanded.
”The village elder you say.” The young man's voice was coated with coldness. ”I have let him go home early.”
”W-What?!” The boss was confused. He did not know who this man was, but what he knew based on experience was this man was just an ordinary person. He was emitting such an aura that only seasoned warriors that had many experiences in the battlefield emits. ”Are you one of those mercenary b*stard?”
The young man looked at the boss with a blank gaze, like he was looking on trash.
”Me? Well, you have no right to know my name.” The young man said. ”But to you at least I can say that… I am the one that will end your pathetic life.”
The young man stood up slowly. The boss was feeling his knee weakening in fright, but he stood firm after remembering that he too was a seasoned warrior in the battlefield. He was laid off from the Jennovian army because of the injury on his eye that turned him blind. He was stripped of his rank and was cast out without any severance payment that they were promised. He became resentful and hateful of those who were in authority and on top, hence he rebelled and founded this bandit group to harass the people of this continent.
”I am not afraid of you!” The boss held his battle axed firm and stood in a battle stance.
The young man drew out his sword, his killing aura intensified even more.
*THUD THUD*
Something fell at the back of the boss. When he looked around, he saw his two subordinates lying on the floor with fatal wounds on their bodies and blood oozing out.
”B-Boss… save me.” One that was still breathing said and held onto the boss' shoe.
”W-What happened?!” The boss asked in surprise.
”It looks like your subordinates are dealt with accordingly.” The young man's tone was menacing. ”It is your turn to pay for your crimes.”
The young man charged towards the bandit's boss.
