E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 111 - Return
After fighting.... The one-sided massacre, now only one person left from the Red Skull group.
He was none other than the leader of the group itself named Brunt.
Leo walked slowly towards the bald man. He pointed his gun towards his body.
"I'm sure you know what's gonna happen when I hit this trigger, right?" Leo asked with a look filled with hatred.
His bandaged and long-lost left eye was as if it could still glare at him.
With a feeling of considerable fear, Brunt nodded his head. On the other hand, Reina seemed to step back after knowing the task had been completed.
"good. Then tell me, how many of you are still?" Ask Leo in that cold tone.
"About 50 people.... Maybe they'll be back in a few days after robbing on the road between cities." Reply Brunt.
Leo who did not expect that the man would answer him honestly looked quite surprised.
"I didn't think you'd be that honest." Reply Leo briefly.
"Well, you're gonna kill me anyway, right? And also, they'll definitely end up whether I tell you or not." The man seemed to know what Leo was thinking.
"Well, you're right. I plan to leave my 150 troops here for a few weeks to hunt down the rest of your group. So your information is just a little help." Reply Leo.
After hearing that answer, Brunt only smiled faintly. He put his hands behind his head while staring at the ground.
"What are you waiting for? Quickly kill me." Brunt.
Unlike before, this time Leo looked around. More precisely towards Reina and also towards Luna.
On one hand, Reina seemed to slightly raise her shoulders while shaking her head. It indicates that he is unworthy to give his opinion.
But on the other side....
Luna slowly walked towards Leo. Light his long hair behind his ears before whispering something to Leo.
"Mr Leo.... Looks like we can still use this guy to extract more information about other bandit groups." Whisperer Luna.
"Is that so? Well, I agree with you." Reply Leo in the same voice.
After that, Leo appears to lower his weapon. Before finally speaking back to the man named Brunt.
"For now, we will spare your life. Instead...."
"Forget it. I won't cooperate with you guys. Even if...." Brunt's speech cuts off Leo's words.
Leo cut it back, too. Only, Leo now slightly bent his body to whisper something towards Brunt's ear.
"What about women? You likey? If you want to work with us to subdue another bandit group, I won't mind fulfilling your wish.
Whether it's women, money, or something else. All you have to do is show your honesty and your work. How's it?" Ask Leo with a flat face.
Hearing the offer, Brunt's current feelings wavered slightly. He even began to consider the words of Leo.
It's just....
Does He want to accept it? Working under a group he's always been in?
Would he accept such humiliation?
Of course the answer to the offer....
"How many women can you give? No. gabe.... Can you find something good?" Brunt asked with a serious face.
A smile appears to decorate Leo's face before he finally speaks again.
"of course. As for the numbers themselves, I leave it to your work. The more we deteriorate the other bandits, the more you pay." Reply Leo.
Hearing that answer, Brunt undoes his previous foolish intentions.
Die off? What kind of boring stuff is that. If he could live like before....
"I get. Then...."
......***......
...- Venice City, City Hall -...
"Is this a good decision, Mr Leo?" Asked Luna who was walking beside him.
"Give a mansion to criminals, then.... I don't understand what you're thinking." Reina said to her right.
Leo who heard it only laughed lightly.
"Just calm. After all it was just an abandoned noble house. I also put down at least 20 soldiers to keep his movements. So it should be safe, right? What's more...."
Where everything is, it will be used to arm more troops in this city.
He also did not intend to stop to make a new rifle. With the special division target reaching at least 2,000 people.
Now, with the city's condition becoming more stable, Leo can think of more things with a calm mind.
What's more....
"You don't have to be that moody, Selene." Said Leo towards the silver-haired woman behind him.
"I'm sorry.... Because of my failure...."
Selene glanced slightly at Leo's face, which was now wearing a clean white patch, covering her left eye that was gone.
He considers that the injury suffered by Leo is his fault and failure.
But nevertheless....
"Just calm. It's my own fault. But I can tell you, if you don't get caught then our troops might get ambushed. So I thank you for your sacrifice?
After all, we have managed to prove the power of that weapon. And everyone is safe too. So there's nothing to worry about." Reply Leo.
Hearing that though, Selene simply fell silent. Keep glued to the ground without the slightest bit of courage to look into Leo's face.
After a while....
"Hey, Selene. Don't you think this is enough? To let Roselia wait?" Ask Leo.
"Eh?"
"We'll revisit it. Hopefully he will accept both of us. L'm.... You know I still need to learn a lot, right?"
Selene's attitude changed immediately. His anxiety that had been haunting his mind, instantly disappeared.
And what was left, was only the impatient attitude of seeing his teacher once more.
"Reina, you want to come? Maybe we'll just say hello. Perhaps while explaining the current situation of the city. You too, Luna." Said Leo.
"Well, if so...." Reply Reina with a sweet smile.
And Luna herself....
"Eh?! Rosellias.... Roselia is that, right? N-no! Any guy like me can...."
"Then we leave now." Leo's words cut Luna's refusal quickly.
And finally, the four of them walked towards Aselica Academy, for once more....
......***......
...- Eastfort -...
'Dok! Doc!'
"Lake in." Reply Ferris briefly. His face was currently looking so bad, with eye bags starting to thicken.
From behind it, the figure of a Knight carrying a small scroll and a bird on his left arm.
"Miss Ferris, Venice sends word." Said the knight while handing over the scroll and also the dove.
"Hmm? Isn't it a little too soon to send new news?" Feris asked as he opened the still sealed scroll.
But the Knight did not know the answer, and could only reply....
"I don't know the reason either. Even more so this way...." Said the Knight.
"I understand. Something's not right there. Then you can come back." Reply Ferris.
After saluting, the Knight walked out of the room.
But by the time Feris had seen the contents of the letter, instantly his blackened eye bags began to thicken.
The gaze of his eyes that always looked quite cynical, now also became sharper. What's more....
"Curtain! It's bad!"
What is written in the letter is very simple. That is a sentence with small writing that fits inside the scroll that is only half the length of the little finger of the Ferris.
It's a sentence....
..."Venice has fallen into the hands of others."...
