Chapter 38: Mamit Lawless Zone (3) (2/2)
‘It’s highly likely that she’ll suspect this was a terror attack against the Hidden Palace Then all I need to do is pretend to be terrified and escape froirl The rest of the custoician had attacked the accused as the culprit were extremely low
However, there was one problehter sees et complicated later on in life’
It didn’t matter much if the leaders of Mamit or the sain in Jin’s life, and even if it ended up beco problematic, he could just silence them in the future
But the Master of the Hidden Palace’s daughter was a completely different story
She was someone Jin inevitably had to meet if he stayed at the Garden of Swords
“Milady!”
“Is everyone alright? Where’s Alkaro?”
“Ah, that’s… We have no excuses Alkaro has perished from the attacks just now We have failed to protect him”
“Is that so? That’s perfect No need to be asha behaviour so far I came all this way to deal with hiirl conversed with her rabbed a handful of soot and rubbed it all over his face This was better than nothing to hide his face
Shling!
Syris unsheathed a pure-white sword and raised it in the air
“The Hidden Palace shall now take control over this inn! I ahter of the Master of the Hidden Palace Talaris Endorma, captain of the Hidden Palace’s Seven Swords All those who oppose will be considered enemies of the Hidden Palace froulate all movement and activity in a radius of five hundred meters Make sure nobody can ician Understood?”
“Yes, Milady”
“Ah, uhter? Still, this place is Ma if you try to take control of the situation despite our very obvious presence Also, isn’t it highly possible that ere attacked because of the Hidden Palace in the first place?”
The one who spoke up was the King of Ma to Jin Once he finished stating his point, the other kings around hireewords echoed, Hiten vanished from his spot without a trace
Scrrt!
The guard appeared behind the opposer out of nowhere, and a metallic linear flash was reflected in everyone’s eyes Hiten brought the head of the dead man—who still had his eyes open—and politely laid it at Syris’s feet
“I mentioned that all those who oppose would be considered ene royals in this rubbish heap of a city for so long that you’ve forgotten your places? Is the Hidden Palace a joke to you ‘kings’?”
The Kings of Ma aardly
They weren’t weak in any way If the Kings of Maainst Syris’s subordinates However, none of them wanted to have the Hidden Palace as their enemy
“Ehem We don’t want to have you people as our enemies either But at the very least, do respect us and be mindful of our positions The one who just died wasn’t co either, was he?”
“If it’s revealed that the attack was aiuards of the Hidden Palace, ill coes But what if it’s the other way around? What if our men were innocent bystanders of an attack that was aimed at one of you people?”
Syris sharply retorted, to which the Kings of Maht Do as you wish We didn’t know that the guards ere protecting that druggy were part of the Hidden Palace We shall leave you in charge We also wish to find the ned”
“Good For now, have all the survivors gather here Currently, one of the Hidden Palace’s Seven Swords is searching for the ician out there But it’s still possible that the culprit is sost you”
“That’s unlikely None of us are icians”
“I don’t doubt that But it’s possible that one of you recently got on the bad side of this ician in question Pieces of trash like you cause all kinds of trouble wherever you go, aather here”
The Kings of Ma with the other survivors Meanwhile, Syris lowered her gaze
“Why are you still dilly-dallying here? Didn’t I tell you to head outside to safety about three s of Ma aJin The boy curled up in order to hide his face as much as possible
“Tha-That’s… Because it’s terrifying And I hurtearlier I’ ot a sword at your belt How cute Now, getyou saw today Oh, and put this on your leg before leaving”
“Thank you very much”
Syris took out an oint mana Jin was about to receive it with his sooty hands, but Syris smiled and shook her head
“Look at your dirty hands Just letStill, aren’t you quite the lucky one? Not only did you survive a terror attack, I, Syris Endor You should feel honoured”
Jin clu Syris crouched down and rubbed some ointment on the boy’s shi+n In the ash
‘Why is she so kind? The Master of the Hidden Palace’s daughter was infa crazed and out of her mind Were the rumours co on the ointirl had not a single ounce of suspicion towards the boy Furtherroup in this desolate city and felt like helping hi so long? Don’t tell ician? That Ryu?”
“He is somewhat late indeed Should I head out there and search for the culprit as well?”
“H themselves Even so, they must be inside the city, so it’s only a question of tiet It’s just a ician after all”
“I concur”
After straightening his pant leg, Jin stood up and bowed deeply
“Um, how can I return this favour?”
As he asked her, Jin had to hold back the s the terror attack, if the Kings of Maotten complicated for him However, the situation had unfolded so easily
Moreover, Syris wasn’t trying to check Jin’s face properly either She was si him on his way
“How could you ever repay a debt to someone like me? Just think of this as a nice memory And if you remember me from time to time, just bow in the direction of the Hidden Palace whenever you can Well then, bye!”
Having left the Moonlit Well inn, Jin followed the streets and left Maotten soic, so he had no reason to feel guilty or ashamed about the completion of his mission
