218 Display of the Death Bloodline (1/2)

Yale sighed in relief since he managed to avoid the main problem for the time being.

”Why did you capture this bandit?”

Yale knew very well that the bandit caught like a ready to butcher animal was the bandit leader and based on the usual behavior of the Larken Clan, Yale couldn't believe that they let the bandit alive without reason after having attacked Sword City.

”I want to kill him, but he knows valuable information about a bandit alliance that plans to rebel against the empire. There are even chances of some traitors being inside the noble clans, so I need to interrogate this guy and obtain all the information that he knows.”

Herken wasn't good with that job; he didn't like torturing others, and he wasn't good enough with words to make the bandit leader speak about his secrets unconsciously. However, he wasn't confident in being able to reach Imperial City before that bandit died; the travel wasn't short with so many young members of the Larken Clan, and if he was distracted due to the group security the bandit could kill himself.

”Do you need any help? Obtaining information from enemies that doesn't matter if die after having obtained the information is one of my specialties.”

Yale said that by Spiritual Sense after seeing Herken's face that didn't show confidence in doing the job well. Yale didn't plan to say in public that he was good obtaining information from enemies, but he was also curious about the information the bandit leader had, so he needed at least to let Herken knowing it. Moreover, it was good doing a favor to the Larken Clan as long it wasn't related to marry.

”Then, I will need to thank you. I am not too good with those matters.”

Herken also replied using his Spiritual Sense; Yale was engaged with Lar who was an important member of the Larken Clan, and even if Yale's relationship with a part of the Zhan Clan was bad to the extreme they wanted to kill him, Yale was still considered as part of the noble clans.

”How about you three come with all of us to rest? Ralen has prepared a good place for us.”

Lar looked at Yale and seeing that he nodded she also nodded. Yale knew that Herken was just helping him to move to a place without people since he understood that Yale didn't want to act in public. Personally, he liked that behavior because any method used to obtain secret information from an enemy wasn't something a decent person would show in public.

Yale didn't mind about being righteous in the eyes of others like the Larken Clan, but he didn't want to show all his prowess to everyone, and he had already shown a lot of power in the previous battle.

Nobody thought that the fact Yale was going with the Larken Clan was strange since he was engaged with a member of the clan. Ralen and Selenia were giving thanks to their past selves to avoid offending Yale because he was even more fearsome than they suspected.

The place Ralen gave to the Larken Clan members was the hugest mansion of Sword City situated near the area of the housing for the Sword Five. That mansion was specially prepared for when the Larken Clan visited the city. There were also some smaller mansions for the big clans that supported Sword City, but the treatment they would receive would be far inferior the one obtained by the Larken Clan.

”You can all choose a room to stay; I want to talk a bit more with Lar and her fiancé.”

Herken was only interested in speak with Yale, but he said it in that way to avoid the others knowing that he had a secret agenda with Yale because Yale himself seemed against it.

”They are my little sister and my brother-in-law, I also want to hear that conversation.”

Durgan was the one who created their engagement, so he wanted to ensure everything was right by himself. Even with Lar being always so cold to him, Durgan was still a brother who cared about her little sister's well-being.

”Wyba is also coming with us; I don't want to leave her alone.”

After seeing how the Larken Clan tried to cheat Wyba before, Yale didn't dare to leave her alone with them.

Herken quickly nodded to both of requests; he wanted to be alone with Yale to let him obtain the information from the bandit leader without other seeing him because Yale wanted it in that way, so as long Yale didn't mind someone else being present, he had no reason to forbid their presence.

Herken selected a big room equipped with isolation spells and sat in a chair without letting go the bandit leader who had been grabbed by the neck the whole time.
