Chapter 22 - Gowa Village

Several pairs of eyes Gowa villagers looked towards Clay's entourage, they looked like they were curious about the arrival of Clay's entourage.

Villagers are curious about Clay's arrival because Clay's entourage is currently tying two bodies of someone they know.

"Are they not Crush's men?"

"Yes... They're both Crush's men."

"Have they been caught? Where's Crush?"

"Before, they get the task of the big boss, to find prey outside... But now that comes back only two humans and in a bound body state..."

"Did they fail and leak our headquarters?"

"Damn it! He only has a big body... But he's so weak!"

"Really! Crush is the weakest captain among the other captains."

...

...

Whisper slowly some of the Gowa villagers who are currently talking about two bandits and his group.

They were all talking about the group of bandits led by the human race called Crush, the burly bandit boss that the Black Dragon Guild members had defeated before.

A villager whispered softly with the other residents, unheard by Clay's entourage because of the distance.

Until a while later, now Clay's entourage has been right in front of the bandit headquarters.

A wall that is quite large and quite wide between the buildings around there.

"Is it true that it's your base in there?" Clay asked the two bandits.

"Right, sir." Reply to one of the bandits who is currently being bound to it.

Zen asked Clay. "Young master, what should we do? Did we just go inside?"

Clay was silent not answering Zen's questions, he looked around and something stuck in his heart.

"Squeaky... This village looks like an ordinary village... But why don't I feel good?" Clay said inwardly while watching around.

"Ah, maybe this is just my hunch." Clay said in his heart, he tried to convince himself not to think about negative things.

After convincing himself, Clay answers Zen's questions. "Yes, we go inside... But we still have to be vigilant."

"Okay, young master."

Finally, Clay's entourage entered the bandit's headquarters.

They entered inside very easily, as the gate of the headquarters was unlocked and there were no guards.

In accordance with what Clay said, they entered the bandit headquarters, vigilantly and carefully.

When it passed through the gate, Clay's group saw a large enough yard.

There they saw some Elf race people who were doing activities such as cleaning the yard, taking care of some plants and others.

After a few meters they entered the bandit headquarters, suddenly several Elf races came out of the large building, and then they came to Clay's entourage.

"Who are you!? Why would you carelessly enter here?" Say one of the Elf races with a slightly high tone and an annoyed look on the face.

Clay and the others had yet to answer, suddenly the other Elf races said.

"Master... It's true what my men reported... Those two are Crush's men!" Say one of the other Elf races to the Elf race that issued a high note earlier, while pointing towards the two bandits who were currently prisoners of the Black Dragon Guild members.

"What happened to you guys? Where's Crush?" Asked the Elf race to the two bandits.

"We fought against them and we lost... Then boss Crush was killed... Only the two of us survived, great sir." Answer one of the bandits with a resigned look while giving a signal pointing at Clay's entourage.

The Elf race who was called the great lord was now even more annoyed, he drew his sword and intended to slash the two bandits while saying. "You lose and show our base to someone else... Traitor!! You don't deserve to live!"

*ting... Pyarrrr... Pyarrs... Pyars...*

The sound of a sword falling to the ground.

The Elf race sword fell due to a strong wind.

The gust of wind was created by the wind magic done by Clay.

"What do you mean!? You dare to enter my place uninvited and dare to disturb me!? Are you tired of living young!?" Said the great lord of the Elf race who had lost his sword from the grasp.

"I won't apologize or feel guilty!! According to my conclusion, you are also a plot of these bandits and you have more positions than the two of them... And you also intend to kill my prisoner! Of course I don't agree with that!" Clay replied to the great master confidently.

"Buck!! How dare you behave arrogantly in front of me!" Shouted annoyed the great master of the Elf race.

At the same time as the great master of the Elf race said in a high tone, Ariana and Max muttered softly together.

"Max, I think the guy's a little familiar..."

"Yes... I think I've seen him somewhere."

What Ariana and Max meant was the great overlord of that Elf race.

After a while later, Max began to remember who the great lord of the Elf race was.

"I remember... I've seen that he's a fugitive from Grandle Kingdom... He's a rebel and a criminal being sought by the royal side."

Ariana began to remember. "Ah is right... He's a royal fugitive... His name is Vargus the rebel."

Max and Ariana's words were heard to Clay's ears and then he resumed his conversation with the great lord of the Elf race.

"What if I'm being arrogant? A royal fugitive doesn't deserve such gentle treatment!" Clay told Vargus.

"Haha... Haha... You already know who I am! Then, I won't let you get out of here alive..." Vargus said with a laugh laughing in joy as he got the prey.

Having said that, Vargus now took something in his pocket, and it was a large firecracker.

Then Vargus lifted the firecracker he was holding towards the sky and he lit the firecracker.

*cuinngg... Darr...*

The sound and sighting of a firecracker that Vargus had lit was seen in every corner of the village.

"You won't get out of here alive." Vargus said to Clay's entourage with a proud laugh.

Clay and others were confused, by what was meant by firecrackers fired into the sky.

"I have a bad feeling..." Clay said in his heart while paying attention to the circumstances around.

Shortly after the firecracker was launched, as soon as everyone inside the headquarters building came out, they all filled every corner of the courtyard and made Clay's entourage outnumbered.

The situation became very tense, it seemed that some on Clay was gulping his saliva, they felt anxious about the safety of his life.

As the tension was brewing, suddenly everyone heard Clay's voice sounding quite loud while laughing out loud.

"Haha... Haha... Haha... Events like this remind me of my dark past... Back then, my friends and I were preparing for the brawl and it was exactly the same as it is now... Do you know what a brawl is? Haha... Haha..."

Clay's laughter and speech, made everyone confused.
