Alex broke through the heavy rain and ran as fast as lightning on the streets of the eastern region of the city of Peace which was very quiet tonight.
The city of Peace is divided into two parts by the Elbrus River. The West side is inhabited by the Rich and the East side is inhabited by the Poor and is also called the refugee shelter of various races from all over the World, because the nomads who do not have money can only live there and they also have children who then create the largest mutli-ethnic settlement in the Grandland Continent.
A large suspension bridge connects the two areas of the City of Peace. The bridge was named Elbrus Bridge after the river Elbrus that passes under it.
Alex's steps came to a halt in front of a sizable old house. The old house was the headquarters of the two bandits he killed this afternoon.
There were Two Orcs standing guard at the entrance of the old house.
“Hey, where are you Shabby man?” snapped the largest-bodied Orc while swinging his fists toward Alex's face. However, the grim expression on his face instantly turned to a pale face as Alex clasped the Orc's fist.
“Where am I going?” alex answered coldly. “Two of your Dogs scared my Daughter and I'm here asking for compensation!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The Orc's fist was shattered as Alex's grip grew stronger.
Alex snatched the Axe from the hands of the other Orc, then in an instant the Second Head of the Orc rolled on the floor.
“Who's troublemaking out there, Josh?” tanya Luis, Lima— level Swordsman Peace City Security Officer who was downing with two young women.
“Most fools who claim to be husbands or brothers of our girls,” Josh said with a big smile.
“You dumped their bodies into the Elbrus River, right?” search Luis with raised eyebrows. She doesn't want to fabricate any more cases to cover up Josh's reckless act of killing the husband or family of the young woman they took forcibly from the slums, east of Peace City.
His commando has also started to suspect him of ignoring citizen reports about the crimes of Josh and his men. Luis wants in the next month he will handle a few small cases to improve his image as a Security Officer who protects the community.
“Just relax Mr. Luis.. The last few days we did business smoothly without any problems and ...” Josh thrusts 100 Gold Coins in front of Luis. “Bonus for lord Luis this month ha-ha-ha.” Josh laughed because Luis would have been glad he added a tribute this month much bigger than the previous month.
The corner of Luis' lips exuded a faint smile. He stuffed the Gold Pieces into the bag and walked out of the old house. However, suddenly the Axe floated towards him and stuck it in his forehead.
“Whataaaaa?“ Josh was surprised to see it and did not expect the Level Five Swordsman to be killed so easily without being able to dodge the Axe that shot towards him. “Who are you? What do you want?” search for Josh while grabbing the handle of his Sword.
Josh guessed his subordinates had been snuffed out by this shabby man because their voices were no longer heard.
“Give me that Sword and all the money you have!” Alex said softly, the corner of his lips exuding an evil grin.
As a young man, Alex had traveled the entire world before deciding to become the Leader of the Western Legion. While adventuring it, he killed many criminals and challenged the strongest level 10 Swordsman in various countries—so he was dubbed as the strongest Prince of Hazel Kingdom.
Josh frowned and did not expect the shabby Man before him to be so calm, as if he was not afraid of him who was a Five Peak level Swordsman who would soon reach Sixth level.
“Well I'll give up all my money. but you have to do the Magic Oath won't kill me.” Josh said. Only in this way is the only way that guarantees his head is not beheaded like his subordinates.
“Cih!” Alex snorts and suddenly disappears from the entrance of Josh's room.
Josh's panicked. He immediately retreated closer to the wall and his hand clasped tightly onto the handle of his sword while searching for the whereabouts of the shabby man earlier.
“I'm still going on a long trip,” Alex said suddenly appearing in front of Josh. Josh's neck was clutched tightly and a moment later a cracking sound was heard on Josh's neck. “When I only want your money and sword, why do you have to beat around this!” he throws Josh's body to the side.
Alex then packs up all the money that Josh and Luis had. He did not expect the number to be so much that he had to use the large Bag carrying it.
“You take the money and items in this house and then save and do not tell others including Security Officers,” said Alex to the women who were frightened by the massacre he had committed. “When the Security Officer interrogates you, just say I am the husband of the woman killed by this damn bandit!”
The women who kidnapped Josh and his men immediately nodded their heads, still afraid Alex would enslave them. However, Alex instantly disappeared as they winked.
The women looked at each other, the atmosphere became silent—only the sound of heavy rain sounded loud. They did not dare to do what Alex told them to do, they just stayed in the corner of the room until the Security Officer came.
Jean, the Commander of the Security Forces in charge of the eastern region of the City of Peace, was shocked to see the horrifying sight in the old house. He also did not expect that one of the victims was his subordinate.
His head hurts, though, Luis comes from the Rich Family and the Family Leader is a member of the City Council which certainly has a strong influence—which will certainly urge the City of Peace Leader to investigate who the perpetrator who killed the family member.
“They just said a shabby guy came here and instantly committed a massacre on Josh and Luis' Group and took away almost all their money,” report one of the Security Officers after finished interrogating the women.
“Means this is purely a theft act,” Jean concluded. “However, Josh and Luis are Level Five Swordsmen which means the culprit might be Six or Seven-level Swordsmen, but why is He after these unknown bandits? Why didn't he steal in the Rich man's place?” He still doubted the case was ordinary Theft, this incident as if it had been planned.
Jean took a deep breath, though he would be troubled over Luis' death. He is still grateful that the women kidnapped by Josh's group were rescued and will not suffer any more.
