Chapter 42 (1/2)

-Chapter 42, DGM-

-Quiet Ore Mine-

Witt was still going through the files He had not placed the intruders on his mind at all

The files were nified profitable business transactions that orth gold bars He had no choice but to meticulously check every one of them

“Ugh, Broughwell Manor’s taxes have already been dragged on for teeks? Seems like it’s time they pay it in blood!”

“A month later, Princess Annie’s convoy will pass by river valley village? Oh, look at those numbers Better not offend Princess Annie”

“After the incident with Glaston city, rated to the south Ehehe, what an opportunity Ti bucks…”

…

Witt was a master at his craft His docu in control of another’s destiny It was an addictive feeling

Witt’s ears abruptly twitched as he picked up the urgent crunching of footsteps from outside his study From the footsteps, he could easily deduce the state of mind the owner of the footsteps was in ‘The footsteps are jumbled This person’s in a mess, like he was jumped’

As this thought passed by in his head, he heard raps on the door of his study The voice of his assistant Collins ca’s happened!”

Witt’s eyebrows rose No expression had appeared on his face yet He had still not pieced together the ‘so’ with the intruders that had broke into the valley before

How could those few people possibly be a threat? Unless they were all level 6 warriors, it would be impossible But what level 6 warriors would expend their free time to find trouble with nobodies like them?

“Come in”

Witt put down the docu the cabinet in his study Inside, a pure black leather armour waited The material of leather armour was unique A faint layer of dark mist seemed to envelop the surface of the armour If one left it in the darkness, it seeain

This was the ‘night feline leather ariven to hiuy is the uy is the overseer Or at least that’s how i to them

Witt quickly stripped off his clothing, and begin wearing the powerful leather armour Collins also walked in, and quickly said, “Four intruders entered the valley, and there are no news from our people in the valley We dispatched people in the ore mine, but none of them returned”

“What about Green?” Witt asked2typo, author wrote Collins instead of Witt

“Green, he…he’s also dead It appears that there is a ht tremor in Collins’s voice

The advancele survivor had been spared, to the extent that even the inforician which could decide their victory or defeat was tentative

“What? Magician?” Witt gulped His first thought was to hotfoot it out of there iicians were too ainst them

He did not knohy a ician would find trouble with hied or trespassed on eastern valley ic academy’s territory even once How could a situation like that still arise?

He was unable to understand, but he knew that his best stratageuards of the enemy

Fitting on the night feline leather arether the documents on the table However, the docu all of theather a few important documents

Witt put the docu it to his back Witt then took out a box fro out the black crystal the iven to him He needed to take this aith him

The ician He could delay other matters, but not this one

Safely keeping the black crystal and his ilinted with a sinister black Sie sum for as his personal weapon

He stabbed the dagger back in the leather sheath by his waist He turned to Collins, “Move, we’re getting out of here”

“What about our brothers?” Collins sed his saliva

“Who cares?” They were just a bunch of rogues If he ealthy, he could quickly recruit more of them another time And he was rich

Collins nodded,into step with Witt

However, the two of them had still underestimated the speed of the intruders Within a few seconds of the tunnel in the ore mine, Witt halted

At the opposite of the long tunnel, a giant shrouded with a glass-like radiance obstructed his road Behind the giant followed four people — a female soman, an archer, and two thin and weak persons that appeared like peas in a pod (Author’s note: One is Link’s substitute, but Witt could not tell the difference)

“fuck! How did they so fast?” Witt glowered Their path had actually been cut off

-Opposite Witt-

The archer Greedin burst in hearty laughter thewe arrived quickly, or this rat would’ve fled safely”

Witt carried a package, his appearance disheveled like he was in a hurry One glance was all one needed to guess he was preparing to flee

Witt did not reply It was difficult just ensuring his life How could he have the luxury of caring about others?

His two eyes locked on the intruders, looking out for any movements He slowly inched back The second he entered a shadow, the effect of the night feline leather arered His body blended into the darkness, and he practically turned invisible

As Collins witnessed his boss was gone, he i intruders, his knees weakened like jelly and he collapsed to the floor, screa shrilly, “Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I don’t want to die!”

“So fucking noisy” Lucy looked at him with disdain

Greedin nocked an arrow as he prepared to quell the coward, but was stopped by Link “Let him live He knows a lot of secrets about Witt”

It was even better if they had cornered Witt However, Witt was a difficult opponent to handle, and it was possible for him to be killed

The three uy was Witt’s assistant He definitely knehere the crafty fox’s stash was hidden

Hank walked to Collins, knocking Collins out with a knifehand-strike to his jugular

“Witt’s gone” Lucy knitted her brows

“His black leather ar at some secret place Everyone be careful, Witt is a powerful assassin” Link reminded them
