Lord Arcid

Listening to their words, Aiden couldn't help but scowl at them. If it wasn't for their Jewel's words, he would have beaten them by now. But he had no intention of bringing any more trouble to himself. Rather, he was trying to spend a good time in the city, and...

Yet Remi did not have such a constraint. She zoomed past Aiden intending to attack the boy but was unable to do so. Even if she had shown amazing flexibility, she couldn't beat the slave.

'Jewel said that a slave attacking a normal person is against the law...' Looking at the slave who was holding Remi upside down, a smile appeared on his face,' but a slave attacking another slave is not an offence.'

He didn't have the time to see the effect of his punch as Remi fell. He was quick to grab her as he stepped back from the slave.

'Why are you struggling?' Aiden looked at Remi, who had been struggling to get down. As soon as Remi's eyes met, she looked away. Yet she's never stopped struggling.

"If the master wants to, I can kill him," Aiden said with a smile on his face as he put her on the ground.

Even if Aiden said it with a smile, Remi was quite confident that Aiden could do it if he wanted to. It's also possible that he might kill all of them.

The boy didn't know that, though. He's been pouncing at Aiden. "What did you do to my slave?" he cried in anger. The slap he was expecting to hit the mark stopped in the middle of the air.

Aiden grabbed his hand in the air and smiled at him. Yet, to the boy, it was the smile of a demon. His voice shook as he protested, "You 're a slave. How dare you ever touch me? If you don't let me ..."

"What then?" Aiden asked with a brighter smile. Whether in fear or anger, the child was unable to respond to Aiden. So Aiden asked again, "Then how am I supposed to punish your slave for touching my lovely master?"

"What the hell are you doing there? "The boy cried, not answering Aiden. He turned to his slaves and shouted," Kill him."

The man with his hand bent back did not dare to move, even though the boy was his master. It was the other two who attacked Aiden.

Looking at the two attacking him Aiden threw the boy towards bronze skin man. As he stopped to catch his master Aiden charged at the other one.

Although Aiden was confident of taking care of these D-grade human beings, Aiden did not want to take any chances. And the result had been expected.

One blow to the solar plexus was enough to send a bald man to his knees. The bronzed-skinned slave, who was able to stabilize himself after catching his master, was also sent to his knee with a kick on the back of his knee.

Aiden was sure that the bronze-skinned man's knee had shattered, but before he could cry in pain, another kick to the back of his head knocked him unconscious. His heavy body fell to the ground, burying his master.

Aiden didn't stop there, though. And as soon as the other slave realized it, he tried to run while holding his slightly broken hand. Alas! It was too late.

"Why are you so scared?" Aiden smiled at the slave who was already giving off a bad stench from his wet lower-garment. Aiden grabbed his other arm and said, "I didn't do anything. But… "

*Crack*

"Ahhhhhhh" The cry poured cold water on the onlookers. One of the weak-minded women couldn't take it at all. Looking at the hand that was bent backwards, her leg gave away as she slumped to the ground.

"What's the point of crying now?" Although it looked anything but warm, Aiden's smile never left his lips, "You should have thought about it before touching my master.

Aiden's punch was an inch away from his face as Remi cried out, "Stop it. Don't kill it." However, Aiden wasn't able to stop in time.

If he hadn't deactivated it, the slave's head would have shattered like a pumpkin. Still, it was strong enough to hit him unconsciously.

Aiden turned to Remi and gave a bow, "Yes, Master." Looking at his nonchalant lips, she twitched a little. She wasn't sure should she be afraid or happy.

The act that had happened in front of her eyes wasn't something a teenager should do. Yet, thinking that he was doing it to protect her, made her happy.

Aiden, on the other hand, moved towards the couple boy and girl. Seeing that Aiden was coming to them, they wanted to run away, but their legs weren't listening to them.

Yet the audience who had made the crowd behind them, to enjoy the free show, scattered in a flash.

Aiden welcomed them with a warm smile, "My master is a good lady. Please respect her in the future. Otherwise, it's going to be hard to get the stench of your body after you've been beaten by a dirty slave like me. "Aiden bowed and returned to Remi.

"Master, are we going to return home? "Aiden asked him with a smile. Yet she was quick to turn her face away.

"Stop it," she said as she turned back, leading the way home.

"Am I supposed to call you mistress?" Aiden whispered in her ears, fearing that others would hear them.

"Why are you doing it again?" Remi protested with a red face as she moved faster.

"I don't know what the lady master called, so I called you ..."

As they vanished at the end of the road, the crowd began to disperse, leaving behind three slaves and their masters.

No one noticed that two people, covered in robe, had moved away along the road too. "This is the one. I know the smell of him. We need to speak to the Lord as soon as possible. He didn't have blood tattoo yet."

The other nodded and moved to the crowd. When he stumbled upon another man, no one noticed the scales that was covering his hand.

************

*Boom*

The table shattered, spilling food and wine all over the place. The giant man, however, couldn't care less.

Fearing that he was going to get angrier, the men standing in front of him did not dare to look into his eyes.

"So you're telling me it was the same boy? Was he the one who stopped you from kidnapping that damn girl, too?"

Hearing the question, they both shuddered a little. The man with a snout nose chose to be the brave man who answered, "Yes, Lord Arcid. He's the one who hurt the young master, too. "

"And he killed Minotaur," added the man with a scaly hand. Yet, at the next moment, a wooden mug struck his forehead, dyeing his vision with blood.

"Do you think the halfling is more important than my son? "His angry roar resounded through the room.

"No, my lord, no. I wouldn't dare to think." Even when he wanted to curse out of pain, he wouldn't dare to do it in front of the man.

"Where did this man come from? Isn't he just a slave?"

"No, my lord." The snout nosed man dared not to chose his words carelessly. "We think he's coming from the western mountain."

"Huh? The West Mountain? A tribesman? "His voice was curious. He said, "Have you seen his totem?"

He shook his head, but he was quick to add, "But he used the mysterious wind."

"Totem of a monster of the wind!? "Lord Arcid was deep in thought, and none of them dared to disturb him.

"I would have killed that son of a bitch by now. But it looks like he's got some use, too. Forget about it. We've got a lot more important things to do. "The giant man looked at them and asked, "How many of you are left?"

"About 27."

"Bastard." Fearing that it might irritate him more, they would no longer dare to breathe, "Call all of them. I want them to be here by tomorrow night."

"Yes, Lord," they replied in unison.

"What are you waiting for? Get the hell out of here."

They quickly turned around and were about to leave, but ...

"All those who won't be here tomorrow, I will personally kill them." Even though they heard the threat, they didn't dare to stop and run away. Another person came in as they left.

"Lord, maybe you're thinking about taking the skull forest bandit inside the mine?"

The larger man frowned, "There's no other way. If I take my slaves and face some casualties inside the mine, do you think that son of a bitch Jewel is going to let the chance slip?"

"All right then. I'm going to collect some illusion necklaces for them. Otherwise, it's going to be hard for those halflings to enter the mine." As the man spoke, he found that his lord was thinking about something.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "My lord, are you worried about something?"

"That lass and that old geezer, I don't understand what they're thinking about? That bastard never let anyone enter the mana stone mine and all of a sudden they let us in. There's something wrong."

"As they have said, there is a lack of manpower. The quota they've given isn't something they'd be able to gather without sufficient manpower."

"That couldn't be that simple." Lord Arcid frowned as he spoke, "But I feel there are something else. We're going to know when we enter the mine."

The man was about to leave when Lord Arcid said, "Jaskier, send a man to look at the slave. I want to know that everything is there to know when I came out of the mine."
