Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 463 - Miscalculation

"Go back, home. Ayumu, in regards to your father I shall repay it by not harming you in the slightest, hahaha!" laughed the man in the middle.

"You! Imbecile!" Ayumu took a step forward.

"Don't do anything rash now! One more step forward and the others will rain down your people's sky with arrows. Surely you don't want a tragedy on your own land. Depending on your decision, the blood of the innocent could spill, hahaha!"

"Tch!" Ayumu's hands turned into a fist before one could see blood coming out between her fingers. Her hands were trembling in rage as her eyebrows furrowed to the fullest.

"Heh, they say quality will overcome quantity but I guess that's not the case now, haha," said one of the two men behind the middle one.

"Checkmate, the winner is us, better behave yourself, A-yu-mu," said the other one with a chuckle.

"Now then," the middle one brazenly walked past Ayumu with a smirk before putting his hands inside his pockets. 

"LYON TORGA! TREAS WANTED YOU!! IF YOU DON'T COME OUT NOW! Hahaha! Then you know what will happen right?" he rose his hand.

Ayumu raised her eyebrows before she turned around and opened her eyes wide.

"What are you doing?!"

"Heh, you know exactly what I'm intending to do," he slightly arched his eyebrows before the archers on the over one hundred giant birds loaded their arrows.

"Jin, you or me," asked the old man as one could hear his knuckles popping.

Jin smiled, "Him..."

"Three!"

The man proudly started his countdown as the people below were trapped by their fears. Running from the city might just get them an arrow piercing through their head and hastened the countdown.

Meanwhile, the uncle that was selling meat skewer was palpitating. The women and young man in front of him seemed not to care about the escalating situation as they kept on asking for seconds as if this was some sort of festival. The tall beautiful lady was leading with the oranged hair lady coming in a close second. The jaded hair lady was still contemplating the food on her plate while the young lady was looking for sauce. Only Yunesia was actually looking up in the sky like a sane person she was.

"Two!" shouted the middle-aged man as he furrowed his eyebrows."

*Gulp

A huge swallowing sound was heard as it overrides the silent gasp of the people in the city.

"ONE!"

One person started to shriek in an instinct before he realized that the word didn't come from above but instead to the man that was giving his back toward the giant back by sitting in front of the stand.

The uncle almost passed out from a heart attack as he heard what the young man in front of him just shout.

"What?" muttered the man as he let his arm down before focusing on one single person below.

"Just counting to one takes you so much time, what are you, two?" said the young man as he rotate the chair to face the giant birds above with his arms crossed before Cecile followed suit.

"Na?!" the man opened his eyes wide, not to the man but the auburn beauty that sat right next to him.

(Empress Cecile?! What?! What is their relationship?! I heard nothing of this! Never mind, even she wouldn't dare to fight her great grandfather) thought the man before he made a relieving swallow.

"Empress Cecile, please pardon my interruption, but what is your relationship with him?"

"Huh?" Cecile raised one of her eyebrows, "I'm his wife."

"What?!" exclaimed not only the three of them but all of the archers too. The huge news flooded them with gasps and disbelief caught their throats.

"W-Wife?! Please pardon me for interrupting you two! If I may have your name, dashing young man," said the man whilst lowering his head. (This is crippling news! That talented woman had chosen her man?! Since when?! What scares me the most, I don't even know his... Wait a minute... that face... that smirk...!!!)

He took out the bounty poster with a flick of his finger looking at the image on it before looking back at the young man, "Impossible... impossible..."

He looked at the poster one last time before his eyes trembled as his pupils slowly moved away from the poster.

"?!?!" His eyes only widened up more and more as the young man that was still leisurely sitting, was standing right in front of him with his arms crossed.

The archers couldn't catch his movement with their eyes and could only helplessly followed his destination.

"WW-What?!"

"Since when did he?!"

Jin laughed before he commented, "Straight to the heart of his enemy."

"Either he is reckless or he is very confident in his power," commented the old man.

"Surely is the latter," smiled Jin.

The man instinctively draws his sword before creating a horizontal slash toward Lyon. (Shit! I messed up! I don't want to offend the empress!) thought the man.

*Ptang!

His and the surrounding eyes opened wide with his irises followed where the broken part of his sword fell. (He blocked it.... with his shin?!) he made a big gulp before looking at the young man with fear choking his soul (This is the young man Treas wanted?! This monster?!) the latter looked at him with a jade glow and vertical pupils. (But... I still have the upper hand here!)

"Fire!"

Ayumu's heart jolted before she rushed forward but the two men pushed her shoulders down. She was shouting, screaming.

"You dare to attack my city?!" the shout immediately froze the entire archers of the fleet.

Ayumu's eyes opened wide as she heard that familiar voice and the city had their breaths cut off.

"T-T-That voice!" exclaimed one of the people below with a euphoric face.

*Splurt!

Blood craved the air before Ayumu felt the force that was pushing him down vanished as two loud thuds followed.

"I'm proud of you, Ayumu."

Ayumu's goosebumps immediately rose to the brim as tears couldn't help but escaped out of her eyes.

A figure walked past her and stood up straight with his domineering aura exuded. The surviving brother nervously turned his head to take a glance before his eyes widened in horror after he noticed who was standing behind him.

"Garuda!"
