Chapter 18

Rimuru put all the assassins together on his side while Kakashi checked the Livestream.

[Kakashi: Where is the other?]

[Infinity: He changed his way..going to me, his buddy probably contacted him to target me..using the tracker.]

[Kakashi: where are you?]

[Infinity: Second Floor, teleport here and a guy will yell 'here'..follow the sound.]

I can make Lin Fan or Derek protect me but who knows what Lin Fan might say if that happens..like owning him a favour.

Derek already went back towards here after getting his food. He's eating happily, not minding the chaos.

The 2nd floor is pretty peaceful, those powerhouses acted like watching a show..some guests even went here to seek protection.

"Lin Fan, tell Derek to yell 'here'," I said since Derek's voice is naturally loud.

"Why?"

"Just do it."

"I won't then"

"Derek, can you yell 'here'? my friend is looking for me."

"Sure"

"N-"

"Here!" Derek's yell successfully drew everyone's attention and Lin Fan can't help but cover his face while I just smiled.

Even the assassin stopped running or else, his footsteps will be heard

The crowd quite down then started chatting again after 3 seconds.

Kakashi suddenly flickered beside me, which didn't escape the attention of those powerhouses around me.

"Guildmaster, where is he?" he asked

"Arriving soon," I said..that assassin doesn't know Kakashi or else he would have run away after seeing him.

He doesn't belong to the group of assassins attacking Josh and when Kakashi teleported to Justine's group, he already run away.

When Kakashi teleported to the doorway, he already changed the way. What a lucky unlucky man.

After just 30 seconds of waiting, a pretty suspicious man appeared walking towards us..acting so relaxed while looking around.

When he was about a meter close to me, I talked before he made a move.

"Hi! By any chance, are you here to assassinate me?" I said with obvious curiosity on my face..trying to stop myself from laughing.

well, Lin Fan failed to stop it though.

The assassin immediately attacked when he realised we already know his goal.

People around us just watched, seeing us so relaxed despite knowing he's an assassin ..we're confident dealing with it.

As expected, he failed..why doesn't he just escape when he realised he's busted? he'll have a better chance by then. Stupid assassins.

He and Kakashi crossed swords and kunai over 5 times before getting a small cut on his arm.

"Instead of escaping, he took the risk of assassinating you..is he stupid or just dedicated to his job?" Lin Fan asked

"Stupid" I answered with a smirk...

"Gather up all the captured assassins, let the King handle the rest," I said while watching how the assassin regrets his decision earlier.

Despite talking to particularly no one, Kakashi still knows I'm talking to him..he just nodded and flickered away.

Damnn, commanding an elite ninja surely feels good.

Imagine snapping your fingers then those around you know what to do, how good could it feel..you don't need to explain everything and they'll know what you wanted through signs and expression.

"I'll be going now!" I bid goodbye to Lin Fan and Derek.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Lin Fan asked

"No" we'll be gone after the mission.

"the next day?"

"no"

"When will you be free?"

"Why are you asking?"

"I want to know more about the other Kingdoms, you must know a lot since you're not from here. I haven't got a chance to leave this Kingdom" he explained, getting ready to leave the Kingdom?

"I don't know when I'll be free," I said

"huh? if you don't want to tell me..you can just say it" he said, displeased.

"We'll leave after this party so I didn't lie, who knows when will I come back," I said calmly.

"Can I join you leave? I'm strong, not a liability so you don't need to worry." He asked carefully.

"No" his expression went down after hearing it.

I noticed that he's not as proud as expected, he still knows when to concede. Troubles taught him a lot...he might have experienced using his pride to talk with someone unexpectedly powerful or influential.

"You need to go on an adventure and experience hardship to temper yourself, so journey slowly will ya? our place is too high levelled for you" I said, Traveling through universes and worlds is too early for this protagonist..there's still a lot of trouble, an arrogant young master and young miss, bad powerhouses are still waiting for him on the way.

"well if you're lucky, you might find a way to meet us again." as a protagonist, there's a high chance of finding the door leading to my shop if I connect this world to it.

"I see, I'm quite lucky since my bloodline awakening." more like a Protagonist template awakening.

"let's see about that, I'm going!" I said while walking toward the stairs and waving my right hand, I didn't look at him anymore..actually, I'm just trying to look cool.

The King and princes with high-level and trusted officials and military, together with my gang already left the hall.

I went to the underground chamber of the kingdom, where the cells of important captured people are located.

Fortunately, this place was clean and there is no unpleasant smell..after all, only high-level people are allowed to come here..it's disgraceful to not clean it.

I saw them standing in front of the cell where the highest level assassin is located which is the tracker man.

"Sup!" I said, attracting their attention..who knows when they'll start noticing me if I didn't do it.

"Who's the man with you earlier?" Justine asked...too excited to ask that?.

"ohh that guy? he noticed the feminine assassin earlier and was about to interfere heroically so I stopped him," I said

Unfortunately, no one yells for disrespecting the King..you know. since I said 'sup?'.
