199 Larken Clans Pas (1/2)

”In Sword City, I tried to find good opponents, but even with my current self, I managed to turn into one of the Sword Five without difficulties. I know that some of them most can win against me relying on a superior body, but their swordsmanship can't compare to mine at all. I was naive to have some expectations for this city.”

Lar had stopped crying, but there were traces of tears in her eyes while she looked at Yale.

”After that stupid offended me, I thought of beat him in the stage and leave Sword City afterward, but I didn't expect that he would be so spineless directly giving up after seeing some difficulty in the battle.”

Lar had never given up any battle of her countless challenges against Liye although she knew that she couldn't win against him after the first exchange. Thus, she despised those who didn't even try to battle when facing a hard situation; it would be different in a life or death situation, but in a normal match that as something despicable in Lar's eyes.

”After that, you already know it; you jumped into the stage, killed that spineless bastard and had a battle against me like in the old times. I thought that I was dreaming when I saw your Space-time Judgment Sword and that sword style, but I wasn't dreaming you are really here.”

Yale hadn't been conscious of his acts at that time, but he remembered them. After hearing Lar, he noticed that he had almost forgotten something important, he still needed to solve the problem of killing that member of the Sword Five.

”Right, Lar. I killed that guy of the Sword Five in the Sword Arena although it is prohibited. Do you know how will the city proceed?”

Yale didn't plan to get killed by such foolish rule of the Sword Arena, so if the city forced him to a dead end, he didn't mind to be considered a criminal by them, and he would flee. After all, he already had wanted posters, so a few more people looking for him wasn't that much. However, he hoped that everything could be solved in another way, Yale wasn't fond of making enemies without a good reason.

”The rules say that you should be publicly executed. If you had killed a normal guy, at most you would get punished, but killing a member of the Sword Five in the Sword Arena is more severe. However, you don't need to worry about that because before the execution, the other members of the Sword Five need to vote it, and I won't let them touch a hair of you.”

The Sword Five had a lot of privileges and voting in the punishments was one of them. Thus, people liked to have good connections with them as that could give them benefits if they had problems in the future.

”Since we are just four remaining, as long as the governor and I stay on your side there shouldn't be any problem. That guy is a battle freak who loves people with potential, and since you defeated someone who should have been far stronger than you, I bet that he has taken an interest in you and would choose to protect you.”

The governor liked to battle against strong people, so he always sided with those who had more potential to become worthy opponents. The dead member of the Sword Five wouldn't be able to battle against him because he was dead, and Yale demonstrated having far more potential and ability and was alive, so it would be difficult that the governor chose to kill such good future opponent.

”Well, if something happens, we just need to turn everything into a bloodbath. A member of the Larken Clan created this city, so our descendant created it, it shouldn't be any problem if we destroy the city for its people being disrespectful towards us.”

Yale doubted that they could destroy the city as Lar had said, their swordsmanship was on another level, and Yale's battle prowess was high, but there were still people at the Expert Rank inside Sword City. Thus, although Yale had confidence in escaping alive, he didn't dare to say that he could destroy the city by himself or with Lar's help.

”Let's try to avoid destroying the city; it is a good place for sword training.”

Yale felt that Lar was far too reckless and she forgot that they were far weaker than in their previous lives.

”It may be useful for normal kids, but it didn't have any real use for us right now, why should we keep it?”

If the city rules said that Yale should die, then the city should be destroyed, that was the only thing Lar could think; as for the training of other people in the future, she didn't care at all.

”This is the place where we met each other after such a long time; it would be a pity if it is destroyed.”

Yale had read a similar situation in a book when he was young. Although he didn't understand the situation very well when he had read it, those words worked well in the novel, so he decided to try them hoping that they would also work on his situation.

Those words were a critical hit to Lar; she blushed while she hugged Yale even with more strength.
