Legal Robbery

This is...awkward.

Not like I can say that, whenever I try to communicate with her, she doesn't reply.

The Azure family's headquarters should be in a town near the Kingdom of Enchantio so we travelled north from Albion.

To prevent attention, we travelled on foot.

Mi suddenly stopped me. "Put on your mask." She says.

She finally spoke... And her voice is quite soothing.

I wrap the cloth around my head, leaving only the eyes.

Mi points at the road, sounds of galloping and wheels colliding with the rocky path can be heard. When the carriage comes into view, it is revealed to be a carriage that belongs to the Azure family as the carriage is attached with a big blue flag that shows a white Phoenix in the middle.

Mi gives me the signal to follow her. We run after the carriage and jump on it.

!!!!!!

7 knights are guarding the carriage. Mi draws three daggers, each between her fingers, and throws them at the nearest three knights.

The daggers pierced all 3 knights in the throat and they drops dead off the horse, rolling on the ground.

"Two intruders-"

I jump on that knight and slit his throat before pushing him off the horse and riding it.

A knight riding behind me leaps towards me with his sword drawn. He boosts himself using magic as a green aura engulfs his body.

I step on the horse and jump off it, dodging the attack before I land down and slash him into two. I jump back up on his horse and chase after the carriage, it's not stopping.

The remaining 2 knights have been taken care of by Mi, I kick the door to the carriage open and jump in. Mi jumps on the driver's seat and places the knife near his throat.

"W-Who are you! Do you not know who you are messing with?!" Says a young man inside. He is making out with another woman in the carriage.

I kick his abdomen, he collides against the door and onto the floor while grasping his abdomen in pain, the woman watches in horror. Mi jumps into the carriage from the driver's seat and takes a sword out from inside her robe before piercing it through the wooden carriage. "If I sense anything weird, I will kill you right away."

She seems to be behind the driver, piercing the sword through to threaten him.

The two hostages tremble in fear. Mi snaps and a shadowy figure appears beside her. Another assassin?

Mi hands the mysterious figure a letter. "Relay the message to the knights in Enchantio. Be ready for a warranty to arrest the entire household."

"W-What?! What did we do?!" The young man says. He has the same hair and eye colour as Lupus, definitely a relative of hers.

I place my sword beside his neck. "Speak one more word," I whisper.

...

He raises his hands in surrender. The carriage comes to a suspicious stop, Mi places her ears against the wall and raises her hand to give me an okay signal.

The carriage starts to move again. Sounds of various chatters echo throughout the outside area. Some extra galloping can be heard past us, other carriages. We are in Enchantio.

Mi opens the small window leading to the driver and whispers "Drive into the residence of the Azure family."

The driver nods as he gulps. He slaps the rope on the horse and they speed up.

The woman is staring at me while the young man uncomfortably shifts his position.

The carriage halts as a metal screech can be heard, and some gate is pulled open. The carriage then moves after the sound stops and Mi peeks out of the carriage. After a few seconds, she nods at me, acknowledging that we have successfully infiltrated the Azure family.

"My! You are back!" An old lady says. "How was it?"

The driver nods to the lady. "I see."

When the lady walks to the door, Mi kicks it open.

?!!

The impact hit the lady and she falls back.

"W-What?! Who are you? Guards!" The old lady shouts. Same hair and eyes colour, she's an elder in the Azure family.

...

I walk out of the carriage and stood beside Mi. Nobody came to stop us. We seem to be at the front gate, directly in front of the main door to a mansion. Several people rush out when they hear the commotion including Lupus and Nami.

"Loi?! You dare show up! You don't know your boundaries-"

Mi throws a dagger at Lupus to shut her up, the dagger grazes her right cheek as it stabs into the pillar behind her.

"..."

I open the letter mom gave to Mi and roll down a piece of paper.

"On decree by the Krist Baron family, you have committed several offences towards us including the spread of misinformation. However, we are merciful and will only confiscate all of your properties and finance." I shout.

"What?! This! I demand a-" the old lady attempts to speak but Mi glares at her.

Lupus has her eyes and mouth wide open, her face has turned pale.

Confiscating all of their properties and not killing them is worse than death. Being poor is long-term torture, unlike the instantaneous pain following death with a soothing comfortable feeling a few minutes later.

"This is a false accusation! I order all the security to throw these two fellas out! We will sue your family!" An old man shouts as he burst out from the crowd watching us.

Mi smiles and suddenly appears beside him, she whispers something and his face turned pale. He drops onto his knees as he grits his teeth.

"Father!? Why? Why are you kneeling to those-" says Lupus.

She was holding back, trying not to call us garbage by the position of her lips moved.

...

Mi snaps and a group of knights busted into the mansion through the front gate and arrest every member of the Azure family. Lupus attempts to cover her face and not look at me when she was arrested, I don't see fear but instead loathe. Annoying bitch.

Nami was pulled by the knights past me, she whispers a small "sorry" to me.

"I don't care," I say.

...

Now that I think about it, Nami is married to a Viscount. If it's not the Nelson family, a Viscount, then it must be the Kesler Family, the second Viscount in this country. I don't know if they will be arrogant enough to attempt to help the Azure family, I will have to watch their movements. During my previous life, I rarely come across the Kesler family, their movements do not operate around the kingdoms or capital, after all, I don't even know their exact location of operations.

I only heard rumours of them appearing in the north, in the territory of the Orcs.

...

Mi and I walk into the mansion. She takes every piece of jewellery while knights walk into the mansion to carry every piece of furniture and painting out. 

I take what I find valuable in the treasury of the mansion.

?!

A sudden glow can be seen in a chest beside. I open it and shove everything aside until a find a small black ball at the bottom. I take it and a panel pops up.

The second system fragment was found!

[Absorb]

----------------------

2/5 system fragment absorbed.

+100000 points.

What the... How did they even get this?

Mi walks toward me, curious about what I am shocked about.

"Mi... The Azure family, can I speak to them after we are done here?" I ask.

Mi nods. "Before that..."

...

Mi and I noticed small ventilation of air coming from the tiny gaps under the wall. I infuse mana into my feet and kick the wall open, revealing a space behind.

Spider webs and centuries of dust accumulated. Nobody has entered this place for a long time.

Mana circulates Mi's arm as she extends her hand. Three magic circles overlapping one another appear on her palm and a gust of wind explodes into the unknown space. The lumps of dust fly out as a result.

"ACK! ACK!"

I cough as I shield my face from the dust, luckily I'm not allergic to dust.

Mi soaked in dust cast another spell, some static appears in the atmosphere and all the dust falls to the ground. The dust on my body did the same.

An electric spell? She made use of the electrons produced by the spell to stick them to the dust and cause them to be too heavy to float.

"Let's go, it's easier to breathe now," Mi says and takes the lead. I walk behind her.
