Chapter 110 - Murder (2/2)

It did not matter that he was a mage; he had more than twenty people on his side. Rus.h.i.+ng forward and slas.h.i.+ng madly would also kill him.

Marko thought he had a clear understanding of the situation. Thus, his tone became more unreasonable.

“Kid, let me give you a piece of advice. This is a matter between Red Moon and Silver Hand. Don’t be a busybody. Be careful that you may not help the damsel in distress, but instead get yourself involved in this.”

“Mr. Marko, you’re mistaken…” Lin Li smiled while shaking his head. “I am not interested in whatever disputes your two corps may have.”

Marko was even more a.s.sured that this young mage’s background was nothing much. Instantaneously, he raised his voice. “What are you doing here, then?”

“I’m purely here”—Lin Li held Ina’s hand with a smile on his face—”to kill people.”

During the time he showed off a warm smile, an icicle had already torn through the air. With a “pft,” the adventurer closest to him collapsed with a blank look. Amidst the spewing blood, the icicle that struck his chest was still chilling.

“Hank, is this the man that slashed you?”

“Y… Y… Y… Yes, Mr. Felic…” Hank was standing in the doorway of the Thousand Leaves Bar, witnessing the frightening scene. He must have been so terrified that he started stammering and said “yes” multiple times before completing his sentence.

He had not expected that the young mage he’d brought along was so ruthless. He meant it when he said he was going to kill, and there was no room for negotiation.

Only up to this point did Hank start to remember.

Back then, at the Sylvan Inn, that monstrous warrior meant it as well when he said he was going to kill people. It seemed that he must have been influenced by this young mage.

Funny how he was still worrying back then that, without the monstrous warrior’s help, they would be unable to rescue the members of the Silver Hand.

He felt foolish after thinking back to it. Looking at what mage Felic did, killing a level-7 and above by merely releasing an icicle from his hand, what sort of strength was this? Even the corp leader might not be as strong. This sort of people would not even be bothered by the Ruby Moon Mercenary Corps.

“Mr. Marko.” Lin Li looked at Marko, the smile on his face filled with regret. “I am really sorry, your subordinate hurt my friend just now. So, he had to pay a little price.”

“You…” Marko looked at Lin Li as though he’d just seen a devil. He was totally stupefied. What sort of person is he?

Marko was the clearest when it came to his subordinates.

The one killed by the icicle just now was called Maladonade. Although the name might sound a little corny, his strength was different. In this team, he was the strongest. If he were to be compared with Marko, he was lacking only marginally. Individually, he was at the very least at the peak of level-8. Marko could not comprehend how such a powerful subordinate was taken out in the blink of an eye…

The scene back then was too terrifying.

He only saw a blue flash, and no other signs. Once Marko snapped out of it, the icicle was already stuck in Maladonade’s chest.

Marko could not help but wonder: if the icicle’s target was him, would he have a chance?

The answer sent s.h.i.+vers down his spine. None… absolutely no chance at all.

“You… What do you want?” Once Marko opened his mouth, his voice was slightly shaky.

“What do I want? Have I not told you? I’m only here to kill.” Lin Li’s showed a friendly smile as though he was here to kill chickens, not humans. “Now that someone has been killed, I intend to take these few friends from Silver Hand along with me. Mr. Marko, do you have any objections?”

“This…”

Marko hesitated for a moment before noticing that the young mage’s eyes carried a murderous gleam.

“No, no, no… I mean, I have no objections.” Marko finished his sentence before forcefully swallowing his saliva. This demonic mage was too terrifying. Marko swore that if he were to see this mage again, he would try to hide as soon and as far as possible. Of course, it would be best not to see him again at all.

“Very good.” Lin Li finally revealed a satisfied smile, and walked out of the Thousand Leaves Bar holding Ina’s hands.

Behind these two was a bunch of whispering adventurers. Seven or eight rescuees from Silver Hand were filled with curiosity about the young mage. He was emitting an aura that was strong yet mysterious. Furthermore, all signs showed that his relations.h.i.+p with Captain Ina was not simple…
