Chapter 9- There was a mosquito Repeat that again

Simon said 'Thank God'

Ok, He did it deliberately. Simon already knew that 'Arm' was evil.

Heck, If 'Arm' was innocent, Then the meaning of 'innocent' needs to be changed.

Simon believed that In your work, there must be a line drawn to show the limit to the outsiders.

That means that the involvement of outsiders should have a limit. It's just that, that limit varies according to the situation.

Just because you are frustrated, you should not hit a passerby. They have no relation to the problem so no need to drag them down.

Simon was an ordinary human. He had a heart like any other person. Just a little cold. He pitied others, hated others, and sympathized with others.

But he knew the limit. Whenever he asked for help, he kept a limit. He considered himself responsible for his own work.

That was why He would not harm bystanders for no reason. Of course, if there is a reason, that means those people are no longer bystanders.

Simon gathered his thoughts and looked around. After the fight ended, the aftermath was necessary to consider.

He looked at Cale who looked at him. Simon opened his mouth first.

"Can you keep this a secret? I think I can ask this much."

Simon walked towards Zero. It turned into its doll form. There was only one good thing that happened. That is, Cale saw his powers.

Cale was stunned at the man turning into a sculpture. Cale had noticed that Zero moved oddly. He was confused.

Now he knew what that was. Before Cale could speak Simon said.

" It's just a little trick. Who knows I also might get attacked like you? If I am attacked then only my abilities can help me."

Cale did not know what to say so he nodded. He also thought that having the means to defend yourself was good.

That's the reason he was getting Ancient Powers.

Seeing Cale nod, Simon smiled and said.

"Since they attacked you in Henituse territory, Let's interrogate them. You can call the knights after a while. It will be a hassle if I have to answer god knows how many people."

Cale was again surprised. But he maintained his poker face. He nodded.

Simon saw Cale nod and walked towards one of the guys. He took the mask off.

'Damn, Even he looks above average.'

Simon tugged the guy. The assassin who we shall call 'random' woke up.

Random was the least hurt among all the assassins. Upon opening his eyes he saw a young man with white hair and blue eyes.

Random also saw another Red-haired young man nearby. He instantly recognized them.

The red-haired man was the man that became the target of their group. It was an order from the higher people.

As he and his friends were about to kill the red-haired, another white-haired brat attacked them. Caught in surprise, they lost three men.

Then, he did not know how the hell? but these two brats managed to beat their entire group.

Random was slightly scared. He recently joined this organization. He had violent tendencies.

But, he and the other people, who were a lot stronger than him lost to two weak-looking brats. Now he understood slightly why the higher-ups gave them this job.

There might be a more important reason. But, to a low rank like him, these brats were scary.

He tried to avoid the white-haired brat's gaze. However, he was even more scared of what he saw.

One of the mages and the strongest of their team was lying dead on the ground. This mage was strong. He was a starting mid-rank mage. He bossed over the team and even their leader, the other mage avoided messing with him.

Random's brain moved fast as possibilities ran through his mind.

After that he came to a conclusion. 'I am screwed'

Random decided to do anything to live out of this. He was set on surviving. Even if he has to eat sh*t, he would gladly do it.

If Simon knew Random's thought, he might have killed Random out of disgust... Ok not killed but beaten.

Simon said to Random.

" Tell me honestly, why did you attack him? Who are you? If you lie *smiles*"

Random was scared even more. The brat... no the man in front of him smiling meant that he would die. He nodded and spit out the truth.

Of course, Simon wouldn't kill him. He would beat him but not kill. Before, The assassins died because he wasn't an expert in controlling his strength.

He did not say he would beat him because he remembered a pun from his last life. It was a bad time to remember puns. So he stopped himself from laughing but couldn't help but smile.

" I, I am from an organization called 'Arm'. I, No We were ordered by the higher-ups to burn that tree... and kill anyone who sees it. I am not lying."

Simon could see Random sweating. He knew this man was lying. I mean he even paused between his sentence to think.

Simon again asked.

" Ok, Then tell me. What will happen after this?"

Random said proudly.

"Heh, Of course you brats will suffer. Arm will hunt you and your family down. You will be tortured and -"

Random stopped mid sentence because he was slapped.

Cale looked stunned at Simon who slapped Random. Simon said with a bigger smile.

"There was a mosquito on your cheek. Also, repeat what you were saying."

Of course, He had remembered an even funnier pun.
