27 Hitting The Jackpot! (1/2)

”You bastard! You have no idea who you just killed!” yelled Gregor

Bac arrived in front of Gregor, knelt down and placed his kunai knife on Gregor's throat and prepared to slice. Blood suddenly squirt all over Gregor's face. The blood got into Gregor's mouth and eyes therefore he was momentarily unable to see anything.

When Gregor finally managed to open his eyes once more, he looked up and saw a sword had pierced Bac's chest through his heart at the same time stabbing Lord Has on his head since he was leaning down towardsGregor. The two had died instantly from a sword being tossed at them stabbing vital places.

Gregor was shocked at the sight. The sword was suddenly pulled out and they both fell on top of Gregor, spilling even more blood on him.

”Man, I was starting to think he'd never drop his guard” said William slightly frustrated.

Gregor was shocked after hearing William's voice.

”Young master! You're alive?!” yelled Gregor from underneath the bodies.

William pulled the bodies off Gregor and quickly helped him up.

”Young master! How is this possible? I saw you die!” asked Gregor anxiously.

”Oh that, I was just pretending so that they'd drop their guard. They were a bit stronger than me so I thought I'd find an opportunity to sneak attack them if they thought I was dead. Honestly, I can't believe they lined themselves up for me, giving me the opportunity to toss my sword stabbing them both at once.” replied William

”But you were pierced through the heart, I saw the blade exit cleanly on the other side” responded Gregor confused.

”Oh that... It was Moj Dak...” replied William awkwardly.

”The great Wizard?” asked Gregor

”Yes... he gave me some life preserving means to save me from a fatal blow” responded William awkwardly

”I've never heard of anything that powerful, I mean you were pierced through the heart?!” questioned Gregor

”Well it wasn't actually my heart! It was just next to it! Thankfully!” replied William uncomfortably.

”Well I suppose...” replied Gregor still doubtful.

”Think about it! If I was stabbed through the heart I would have died instantly, and yet I was still able grab the chain turn around and talk to you. Who has ever heard of someone who had an object pierce their heart still have enough strength to talk let alone hold anything with all their strength!” replied William.

”I suppose you're right, I mean there was barely any blood when you were stabbed and yet this Bac character bled so much from being stabbed in the heart. Speaking of which I need to clean myself up.” said Gregor as he desperately tried to wipe his face with a cloth he took out of his pocket.

[Ding* Host's information is inaccurate. Host was pierced though the heart, however internal pluripotent regenerative medicine began to heal host instantly as a major organ[Heart] was damaged.

”I know but I can't tell him that, he's freaked out enough from all the dead bodies already!” thought to himself William.

”There's one thing I just can't understand” said Gregor

”Oh... What's that?” asked William

”Why did Henry bring us through the slums, this is the long way home. He could have stayed on the main road and we would have avoided lord Has.” said Gregor

”You don't think Henry was working for lord Has, do you?” asked William

”If so, why did he kill Henry? Had he been working with him all along, wouldn't he have stopped the carriage here anyways. Why kill him?” said Gregor.

”Maybe they had an argument...” replied William.

”We didn't hear any argument, and I walked out almost immediately after we stopped. He was already dead by then.” said Gregor

”System do you have any information as to why Henry brought us here?” thought William

[Ding* Searching files. Files located.

[Ding* Once event[Auction] had finalized. Subject [Lord Has] approached subject [Henry] while host was claiming prizes.

[Ding* Subject[Lord Has] gave subject[Henry] one thousand gold coins to drive subject[Guild leader Gregor] through the slums so that ”Gregor can arrive home late as punishment for outbidding” subject[Lord Has].

[Ding* Subject[Henry] agreed to terms as ”making his master arrive a little late would not inconvenience his master much”

”What?! Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!” thought William.

[Ding* System determined that while selecting an alternate route might inconvenience host by making host arrive later it was not life threatening to host.
