"I got it" Julius said, making Death Knell turn his head.
"Damn! You're no ordinary boy!" death Knell grunts for feeling cheated.
Seeing his opponent off guard, Qazi took this opportunity to leave. Although it was actually a good opportunity to defeat his opponent but he only got the command to multiply the attention of the Death Knell instead of defeating him let alone finish him. Their goal was just to seize the gem, nothing more. Since the jewel was in hand, they decided to return to their ship immediately. Death Knell who certainly did not accept pursuing Julius and Qazi left Mr. Almero who is still curled up in pain due to Julius's lunge.
"Good work, Mr. Julius," praised Qazi.
"The man's bodyguard is indeed great but he can't take care of himself. The result when his bodyguard was careless he was even an easy target."
"You are absolutely right. But I admit that the girl was pretty good for 12-year-olds. Her abilities might be on par with Julia's in comparison."
"Julia yeah. So there's a chance I could lose to him if it's one-on-one with him."
"Why do you think so?"
"That's because I lost my battle practice with Julia first. All because I underestimated him. Really pathetic."
While talking while running, suddenly a knife shot towards them. Because they were still in a state of alert they both managed to avoid the knife. The knife stuck right in the trunk of the tree. Julius glanced at who had just attacked them. It turns out he's a Death Knell.
"I won't let you escape!!" shouts Death Knell while throwing his knife again.
Julius stopped and repelled the knife with his dagger. "Missing."
"Young master," called Qazi who also stopped.
Julius took the jewel out of his pants pocket and threw it at Qazi. "Uncle catch!"
Qazi managed to capture the jewel. "What does this mean?"
"Go! I'll hold it in," cried Julius as he prepared to attack the Death Knell to prevent him from obtaining the jewel.
"What?! That's not possible. I should have held him down so you could leave" Qazi refused. She might have left Julius alone.
"Don't worry about me, uncle. I just wanted to play a little with him."
"But..."
"Nothing but. Prioritize the jewels! It's an order."
"I'll be right back."
With a heavy heart Qazi ran away. Although he believes Julius may not lose easily but still there are concerns that surround him. He accelerates his steps so that he can get to the ship immediately and return again to pick up Julius. If anything happened to Julius, Qazi would absolutely not be able to forgive himself and did not know how to deal with Daniel later.
"Well! You think you can keep me here? Look, I'm not gonna find a chance to serve a kid like you. You better get out of the way because I won't hesitate to kill you either!" snarl Death Knell with threat.
"Who are you calling a child? Basic don't know yourself. I'm taller than you. Gee... Short," Julius said as he mocked Death Knell to provoke his anger.
"Eye....! You're such a bitch!"
And it's true. Death Knell's anger began to be lured. He immediately exerted all his abilities to attack Julius blindly. Julius was pretty overwhelmed to fend off every swing of that knife. The Death Knell really did not give Julius a chance to strike back. The occasional spark of fire appeared as the Death Knell's blade rubbed against his dagger and the bell's gurgling sound was enough to disturb Julius' concentration. A little regret Julius felt because he had mocked people who were easily emotional. But even so, for some reason the duel of the two of them is very much enjoyed Julius. For a long time Julius did not feel the feeling of so enjoying every second of his fight with someone.
"Gee... I haven't seen a sight like this in a long time. It's beautiful" said the owner of the auction house, who was monitoring people killing each other just to fight over an item.
"There's a lot more interesting than those lousy people, sir," said one of the men who operated the computer.
"Oh, what is it? Let me judge it myself."
"At the auction this time we have a special guest. He was Death Knell, a hitman whose rumors had recently spread in the underground world. At the moment he is being watched fighting with a boy who is his age" explained the man.
"Show me the picture."
"Good."
The man's fingers began to fiddle with the keyboard.4 computer screen in front of him now displays images of a fierce fight between Death Knell and Julius.
"Interesting, but their fight looks balanced. How about giving them a little action? Activate the island's security system" their boss ordered.
"Ready, sir," said a woman in the corner of the room.
The woman presses one of the red buttons in front of her to activate the island's security system at the location of Julius and Death Knell. Being seriously dropping each other, suddenly appeared various traps as soon as one of them triggered it. Shocked by this, Julius and Death Knell avoided their arrow-directed glide as much as possible. Their fight had to stop. They can't move now. A slight misstep can activate another trap.
"Huh? What this? Isn't this island of no security, why are there traps now?" julius was confused. He was lucky to have avoided the arrow.
"It looks like those onlookers have activated the island's security system. I don't know what their goal is, but it's good for me. You won't be able to stop me now!"
"You think so? If I don't! This kind of little trap won't get me into trouble at all!"
Julius threw his dagger and precisely pierced through the surveillance camera camouflaged by tree branches. The owner of the auction house was quite surprised by the quick impression of the tip of the dagger penetrating the surveillance camera. One computer screen that highlighted Julius' face instantly died.
"What do you mean throw away your weapon like that? You underestimated me?!!" snapped the Death Knell who had mistaken Julius' actions just now.
"I just don't want to be noticed by others."
"You don't have to find excuses. I'll finish you off, you worried boy!"
