Chapter 24—Request of Ricard mandelson

Shouts grew clearer as he dashed towards the two of them. Ricard Mandelson then bowed deeply and said he would drive them both.

The three walked over, an awkward atmosphere surrounding them even the sound of mosquitoes could be heard. Ricard Mandelson began to get nervous like there was one thing he wanted to say to Arch, his thumb started to move rubbing between the fingers. His mouth began to open slightly and closed again, moving the eyebrows up and down also always repeated.

Seeing Ricard Mandelson make a strange move Arch immediately told Anson to go by telling Anson to meet Horios to wait there. After Anson left Arch turned towards Ricard Mandelson then asked.

"Is there something you need?"

"Arch—no, young lord Arch I thank you very much. It may be disrespectful and self-destructive, but can I ask one favor of you?"

Ricard mandelson, once again bent his body. That move he actually made in exchange for the request he spoke of just now.

"What help? What a bother, I'm busy right now."

Arch wants to get out of there soon, he also needs some plans ahead. He was born with a big role in this story, the novel he took by accident and read it, it was all purely because of his curiosity about the contents of the novel that was popular in his time.

If asked if he liked the novel? Then Arch's answer was good. Simply put, the protagonist in the story judged others haphazardly and ambitions that are not playing. By reading it alone can be concluded how the protagonist acts if something happens to his partner. That's why your weakness is obvious? Arch spontaneously spoke in his heart.

"I'm sorry I've ruined your day. I was actually a big brother who wanted so badly to save my sister's life."

Arch looked coldly at Ricard Mandelson who at the time was very hopeful.

"Then?"

Arch's short words made Ricard mandelson's heart a little sore. Although it is natural, it still hurts to ask for help from people who seem very reluctant to help you. Ricard mandelson took a deep breath before he finally resumed.

"My parents worked as traders. At first everything was fine until they were in debt to a group of people. That's why I can be in this place right now."

For sale, that's all Arch can deduce from the words of Ricard mandelson. He was sold by his parents to pay his parents' debts. How unfortunate he is.

"Your sister? Will he have the same fate as you?"

Ricard Mandelson displayed an unstoppable look of restlessness. Arch understood, it turned out that the fate of his sister would be more tragic than his brother, but still, Arch thought in his mind and heart why he saved people who had nothing to do with the novel's story.

He also had to consider what benefits could be obtained. The problem was that time, he had to have enough time before the family exam was finally carried out. Is it still possible? Not to mention he had to take care of the Shadow Stalker organization which was still unclear.

"What I fear so. Young Master Arch, no matter what payment I have to pay, I will make an effort. I just want to make sure my sister's alone."

The forceful nature of Ricard mandelson, in the end Arch agreed to help him. It's a little annoying to hear the rant from earlier Arch thought.

"OK, yeah. Aye." Yeah."

"I'm glad you're willing to help, young lord Arch."

"Ha, I'll help later. Now may I leave if there's nothing to talk about anymore"

"Yes, young master of the Arch."

Arch immediately went out, he was greeted by Horios and Anson. Horios gave Arch a farewell, Anson rode on horseback with Arch, they went away from Holaust territory. Arch began to feel that something was missing, but he could not remember, so he gave up thinking about it.

After the Arch left, Horios went back in. A noise came from within running out until Horios' ears were disturbed. Affilor Ruth Wolfson, it's true that the guy just showed himself after visiting the auction. He was excited to look around at the auction event until he forgot about the upcoming Arch.

Affilor Ruth Wolfson is sad. He felt guilty and useless for forgetting time. No one talks about him, it's sad enough that even the one who delivered him just to the point of not calling himself. But what about Horios? Of course, Horios remembered. He did not say to have Arch return sooner to meet Affilor Ruth Wolfson first.

Isn't that cheating? Horios just laughed. He knew that a person like Arch could forget something important, making Horios shake her head.

Arch had almost reached the headquarters of the Shadow Stalker organization, he could tell from the clue artifact. A small round-shaped artifact that Arch threw before the witch left. The artifact will give a hint of the direction in which the person went with the thin glowing thread which only Arch could see.

All made easy thanks to the directional artifacts. To be more precise, it was just an ordinary house with a horse stable next to the house. Arch down from the horse, the sound of the horse tread has been temporarily removed by Anson's magic. Arch looked towards Anson hinting to walk slowly. There are two guards, but are there really only two? No, Arch isn't that stupid to get caught up in their bait.

"Anson, it looks like things are going to get more complicated now."

"I'm sure you'll get through anything, young master."

"Ugh, thank you. Look that! Are you sure there are only two?"

Anson looked around, his brows furrowed after successfully seeing the people hiding somewhere else.

"There are about eight people and the total number is ten."

"Oh, great! Can you finish them all?"

"Give it to me, young master."

"okay."

Anson went to attack the two guards, the speed of his attack made him very different to his appearance. The rest were hiding out at the same time when they saw their comrades being attacked. Anson began to be surrounded by eight people, each of them carrying a dagger.

Weapons suitable for melee combat, light slashes and plus quick moves they were exactly like the ones attacking the Arch. Anson began to pay attention to all his limbs, especially the back that can be attacked at any time.

After the fight, the winner was determined by Anson. Blood-soaked clothes and faces, the fishy smell of the people who were sprawled dead made Anson cluck in annoyance.

He no longer looked good in front of his master. Anson was very attentive to his appearance, he was going to kill them carefully so that the blood would not splash everywhere. Then, his master was still a child, a scene like this was not very suitable to watch.

It could have had an impact on his master's mentality. Even so, Arch still saw the calm of the incident made Anson sigh in relief. Anson thought whether it was because his master was born into the Lord family or would it be different to be born into another family? Anson felt he had to put more effort into understanding his master's thoughts and will.

"I'm sorry, this performance is so bad for you to see, young master."

"What did you say? Your current appearance is amazing."

"Thank you for your compliment. I'll remember this deeply."
