Chapter 51 Escort Mission Part 1
"Humph! Do you think you can just break our brotherhood!? We will not…. What are you guys doing!?" The man who seemed to be the leader turned to see his three brothers raising their hands.
"First Brother, you know the girl behind us is capable of killing us all instantly. Even if we were to try to fight for our lives, we wouldn't be able to survive." One of the smarter men replied. He already felt something was off by how calm the other two were. And the man alone was someone who was an unknown. They should have realized this was a trap from the start!
"Second Brother, that doesn't mean we should just give up like this!" The first brother yelled out.
"Let me rephrase my statement. Whoever is left alive can live. We will also promise you freedom as long as you testify against the person who has hired you." Vance announced coldly. He was not going to let these men go free for nothing. Since they had decided to try to kill his girl, he was not going to stand for it.
"This…. None of us would do such a thin… Ah! Third Brother, why!?" The first brother turned to his third brother, who had just shoved his sword into his side in shock. He was so stunned he forgot to even try to cover his wound.
"I-I-I want to live!" The third brother stuttered in fear before pulling his sword out and swinging it at another one of his brothers. The remaining three suddenly started fighting one another as if they were their own worst enemies. The first brother could only watch the scene in shock as his life slipped away from him.
Vance stood there watching the scene coldly as blood flew. Alice had already buried her head in his shoulder, and Sally was doing the same as Vance. Watching from the side as if it was a good show. After almost ten minutes, only one still barely stood there while blood pooled around the three dead men. "I-I won! I can live!" The third brother yelled out. He was wounded from head to toe and was already knocking on death's door, but he did indeed win.
*Clap!* *Clap!*
Vance clapped his hands together as he looked at the man using his sword to hold himself up. "Good job. Now tell me, who was it that hired you four?"
"It…. It was a man named Jose Yielding. He had said we were to do a job for the crown princes." Vance smiled and took out a red potion. He then handed it to the man. "You drink this and will follow us back to the capital. I keep my promises."
Sally walked over and took out a pair of black handcuffs, and put them on the man. Vance stared at those handcuffs because he had seen them before. They were the same handcuffs that the girls used to handcuff him to the bed last night!
Sally looked the other way as she clasped them around the man's wrists. Only when he was handcuffed did she whisper: "I will buy a new pair…."
Vance chuckled. Last night or more like afternoon, until the girls wore themselves out, used his body as some kind of living toy. It was definitely an experience and a half. But they still had not fully cooked the rice yet. But the girls were getting more daring. They even used their mouths on him last night, which he fully enjoyed.
"Alright, let's return. We will probably be spotted, and they will try to take this man out before we can turn him over, but this is nothing. We just need to protect him until we reach Alice's uncle's house." Vance realized this life quest had a little bit of everything, like some great tutorial. However, he was really wondering what he would get for completing it. He already got the NPC system and the quest system. He wondered if he was going to get another system or not.
Sure enough, as Vance had predicted, the group had only just entered the city when a bunch of guards surrounded them. "Halt! Princess, you need to pass us this man. He is wanted for murder."
"Excuse me?" Alice looked at the guard with cold eyes. "This man is to be brought back by my hands. Why would I give you people credit for my hard work? Do you think this princess is someone you can look down on!? It seems the city guards need to restructure their people. I will be talking to my father about this. Either move, or I will forcefully move you."
The lead guard's face fell. He looked at the other ten guards, who all nodded and stepped forward. "I am sorry, Princess, but this man must come with us. We are under the orders of your father to bring him in. We can not follow your orders."
Vance snorted as he looked at the men surrounding them. "You are not even royal guards. Why would the king send idiots to do his bidding? As of now, you are already committing treason and can be beheaded on the spot. Yet you dare to say you are doing King's bidding. That is nothing but a lie. How much did Edward promise you? I will give you triple."
Vance was very blunt with his words causing the guard's faces to change. They looked at each other, unsure of how to move from here. They knew very well that they could not kill the princess, but the man was another story. The lead guard raised his eyes to look past the group, which did not go unnoticed. Vance quickly waved his hand, causing a magic circle to appear under them and a tall wall of earth to shoot up behind them, covering their rear and sending a few guards flying.
"What!? What are you doing!? You dare attack the city guards!? Men capture him!" The leader guard yelled out. But Vance ignored them as Alice suddenly waved her hand, causing their feet to all be frozen in place.
"You are not fit to be guards," Vance said coldly as he drew his sword. "As a citizen of this kingdom, I will now rid the kingdom of corrupted guards."
