"Huh! Ballut?" Rito was stunned to see the struggling Ballut standing propped up supporting his body in the corner of the room. Very clearly described the feeling of fatigue and pain in the face of Ballut at this time. Rito rushed to Ballut and helped him to support the body.
"Are you okay?" Rito asked with a slightly trembling tone. Ballut who heard that tekkek slowly.
"How did you see? Does it look like I'm okay?"
"Ah, sorry. I just spontaneously asked that." Rito sighed softly. Seeing the condition of Ballut and Alesha at a glance, everyone will immediately know that they need immediate treatment.
"What about Alesha? Why is he still not awake?" Rito turned his gaze to Alesha who was still lying on the floor of the room.
"Forgot that, what about the mission?" Ballut coughed, removing a few drops of blood from his mouth.
"Whatchu mean? How can you ask for a mission when your condition is like this?" Rito knitted his brows, staring in surprise at Ballut.
"Are you crazy? I'm the one who should ask you! How can our safety be more important than the success of the mission?" Ballut began to raise his voice. Sometimes he coughed as he forced himself to speak.
"Isn't it supposed to be like that?"
"No, stupid! Didn't anyone tell you that the first and most important Ghetto rule was mission? No matter if it had to sacrifice some body parts even lives, but the mission must have a guarantee of success that reaches one hundred percent."
"No way! How could there be such unreasonable rules? What are you guys fighting for?" Rito breathed a heavy sigh. He never thought that there would be such a crazy unity.
"What are we fighting for you say? Don't you feel like we do?" Ballut stared at the shabby floor of the room filled with his own bloodstains.
"I don't understand at all." Rito shook his head, inched backwards away from Ballut.
"Justice. Do you not also feel that there has never been justice in your life? We feel that way too. That's why we make justice for ourselves."
After hearing the sentence that was thrown from Ballut's mouth, Rito became speechless without being able to refute it. It is undeniable that Rito always felt that the word 'justice' had never existed in his life so far.
"Ballut, wait a minute!" Rito called out to Ballut, making the footsteps of the man in front of him come to a halt.
"I know where our target is, let me go there. You guys go out first."
"No, we have to go there together." Ballut denied Rito's words firmly. He could not let a novice amateur complete the rest of the mission alone.
"Ballut, you better go out first, with your condition like this will be very dangerous and there is a possibility that there are still guards there. After all what can you do with such a state?"
Rito replied to Ballut with a worried look on his face.
Ballut silently listened to Rito. It is undeniable that his current circumstances and Alesha do not support them to continue. If he was pushy, then most likely he would only be a burden considering that Rito was more worried about him and Alesha compared to the success of the mission.
"Alright then, I'll just wait here while looking after Alesha. Bring the girl as soon as possible. I'm not sure Alesha can last long with her current state." Seen Ballut said with a small smile on his face. Ballut was thrilled to learn that there were still people worrying about his partner when he realized he was in a danger den.
After Rito hears a satisfactory answer from Ballut, he immediately runs towards the previous basement with a happy heart because the mission can be completed even though this first mission almost makes Rito lose his life. Even so Rito can still be grateful for getting real experience in carrying out the mission. Gladius was resurrected.
Rito didn't see any guards there when he set foot in the basement. It seems that all the guards are gone while Rito is fighting two assassins and Joseph.
Rito walks through the basement to search for his mission targets while freeing those who are confined there. Not a few of them were screaming in excitement, even some of them to prostrate and kiss the feet of Rito as a sign of gratitude.
After all the slaves had been freed, Rito immediately walked towards where his target was. Lifting that unpowered body on his back.
"Thank you." There was a soft whisper from behind Rito's earlobe.
"Rest, you calm down I'll definitely take you home."
