Chapter 694: One Punch And So Much
We followed Lilian as she led everyone through the streets.
"Did you buy this house using a different name?" (I)
"Yes, I had to work for over two decades at this place, even before that I had to come back here many times due to certain aspects of my jobs." (Lilian)
"Having a house made sense, so I bought one." (Lilian)
"The house must have been abandoned for a long time." (Nix)
"Actually, it has never been abandoned, there are three families who live there." (Lilian)
"Are they your subordinates?" (Elsaris)
"More or less, these are families that I saved during my work, I made a deal with them using the God of Commerce as a witness." (Lilian)
"I understand, so they can't fail to comply with the parties to the agreement that will be included if they don't talk about you." (Elsaris)
"Yea." (Lilian)
"What are these families like?" (I)
"They take care of the house and have different jobs to act as my informants." (Lilian)
"A family takes care of one where people have a very bad reputation." (Lilian)
"The second family runs a restaurant in the center of town where many merchants and Adventurers like to go." (Lilian)
"The last family only takes care of the house and the land around it." (Lilian)
We continued talking along the way, at that moment I see a young girl of the Beast Man race of the cat tribe, she was beautiful and with a delicate appearance, and she had a kind face.
I saw a Werewolf grab her band as she walked by, he was chuckling as he continued squeezing the girl's ass delicate and smaller than him.
I noticed his friends turning to look at him, one was a one-eyed Demon and the other a muscular Half Elf, they laughed as they saw their friend approach the little girl and drag her into an alley.
The two followed their friend with eyes filled with lust into the alley.
"That's going to be brutal." (Elsaris)
"Probably, but I won't stay here to watch, let's keep walking." (I)
"We should go blind in about 20 or 30 minutes of walking at our speed." (Lilian)
"Wouldn't it be better to intervene?" (Nix)
"Some people are dumb, don't bother saving them." (Ragnar)
"Are you going to let them do this to such an innocent girl?" (Nix)
"From what you got it." (Ragnar)
"She didn't notice." (I)
"She's suppressing her own Aura, maybe that's why she didn't notice." (Ragnar)
"I didn't use Aura to figure it out." (I)
"I noticed the killing intent, it was weak, but I got it." (Elsaris)
"I can tell from the movements, you sure know how to fight." (Lilian)
"I could tell by the Aura, very strong and controlled, shows great training." (Ragnar)
"..." (Nix)
"How did you notice, master?" (Ragnar)
"The eyes, that kind of dangerous will in the eyes looks a lot like Lilith." (I)
"Then it's going to be brutal." (Elsaris)
"People reap what they sow." (Lilian)
"..." (Nix)
"What are you talking about?" (Nix)
Sigh
"..." (me/Ragnar/Elsaris/Lilian)
We all look at Nix who has a confused look on her face, we all notice this for different reasons, it just goes to prove that she had many ways of perceiving what was going on, but Nix seems to have little observational skills for subtle things.
Boommm! Boommm! Boommm!
We heard three noises coming from the alley, they weren't loud, but all of our senses were too strong to miss it, soon I heard ripping sounds and muffled screams, then I smelled fresh blood coming from the alley.
Soon the cat girl comes out with a bright smile from the alley without a scratch, but I noticed the drop of blood on her shoe and the smell of blood coming from her mouth.
I turn to Nix looking at the girl who waved happily at us innocently, everyone waved at her with little interest, only Nix was left looking at her.
"One thing I've known in the past and only confirmed from last year to now is that you shouldn't judge anyone by their appearance." (I)
"That usually gets people killed in my line of work." (Elsaris)
"Now that I think about it, she didn't even try to resist when she walked into the alley with them." (Nix)
"Pay attention to the things around, even if we are walking, with the night hunts inside the Dungeon I thought everyone had already learned about that." (I)
"Nix always hides in the shadows, especially hers, so she doesn't worry about that." (Elsaris)
"Why would I participate in these perverted things?" (Nix)
"Not too bad, it was a good daily exercise to train stealth." (Ragnar)
While we were talking we started walking again, I noticed someone with the shadow element trying to steal, probably because I look like a child, but before he touched me he was devoured by my shadows.
"What do you want?" (I)
"I'd like to ask you to release the boy if possible."
The little thief I caught was skilled at hiding, but he couldn't hide from my Aura, so I was able to deal with him so easily without needing to turn around or stop walking while talking to everyone.
But less than 1 minute after picking up the boy a woman appeared in front of me, she was dressed in light combat clothes like an Adventurer.
I noticed that she was strong but stronger than the cat girl we saw before, this woman is in SS Grade of strength, with so many strong people inside the Dungeon I'm getting better and better at equal strength to someone by their Aura.
"What do I get for letting him go?" (I)
"..."
She looks doubtfully at me before shooting murderous intent through her eyes, something that does nothing against me, she places her hand on her waist in a position that would be able to fling the knives at her waist at me.
"Throw it at me..." (I)
Before I could finish speaking the woman took a punch from Elsaris that threw her into the nearest alley with precision.
People walking the streets ignore the discussion, but part of that was because of Ragnar's Aura manipulation making most people pay attention in another direction, a trick I'm not able to pull off.
The woman who was punched by Elsaris somersaults in the air to land on her feet throwing Fairies towards Elsaris' head who uses her Bunny ears to deflect the knives slamming into the sides of the blade.
Using Bunny Ears to defend throwing knives is awesome.
"I advise you to leave." (I)
"You think I'm here..."
"Don't count on your 9 friends, they won't help." (I)
"..."
As the Queen woman appeared in front of us, I and I imagine the others sensed the approach of others who were hiding, I used my lines to capture them all.
"I've captured them all now." (I)
While she was distracted, I used a few more threads to tie her body, then looked at Elsaris.
"That was quite a punch." (I)
"Thanks, she reminds me of your grandma, it felt good to punch that bitch in the face." (Elsaris)
"Do you know her?" (I)
"No, but with that face and demeanor, not to mention the familiarity in her Aura, I know what family she belongs to." (Elsaris)
While talking to Elsaris I made my shadow go in 10 directions to swallow these people.
"I'll leave them to you, get some information about the city or the Kingdom, then you can release them." (I)
"I'm not going to kill the thief from before for stealing from me, I'm not going to kill those 10 for trying to get your friend either." (I)
After that we walked to Lilian's house, Elsaris went back inside the Dungeon, I know people were thinking about leaving, but I'm glad everyone is tied up.
When we finally arrived at Lilian's house we discovered that it was a large mansion that must belong to some noble, it doesn't look like a lair to me where a spy could live for months.
The house had 4 floors and was very big, but people still approached.
I left Lilian talking to them while I went back to the Dungeon, there I find Elsaris talking to the captured people.
I pass them and go to the mansion to eat some more things since I was starving.
I ate something Freya had prepared that was delicious as usual, but when I came out Ragnar had a pile of empty plates beside him.
I join them for a lighter meal, I started to eat some light things, the food that Freya prepares is the decision.
Lilian introduces everyone to her employees after that introduces her employees to us.
We spent the night at Lilian's mansion as usual I go up on the roof to get a clearer view of the night sky, today the moon was luckily not full or that would cause me more problems.
I just stood on the roof enjoying the beautiful scenery and wondering what to do with this thief and the 10 people who came to rescue.
Elsaris told me they're all local thugs and this kid was just training his skills for a test
I make the most of my life to be fun, but sometimes I keep remembering unnecessary things.
Now I'm less remembering that cat girl.
