The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 26 The difficult mission in the noble residence.

Arriving at the Mansion Earl Sean Alfie, Isabella is led by a male servant to a room in which there are many mercenary knights.

They looked at Isabella with a cold gaze, and then one of them stood up and walked over to Isabella. 

"What's this?" the woman took Isabella's brooch. "What the fuck, Gold level? whoop! I think you're gem-level or ruby-level, boring to meet weak people."

The woman threw Isabella's brooch into the random place, she was so demeaning to Isabella as if she was a high-ranking mercenary knight.

Before the woman left, Isabella blocked her hand and asked, "Where are you going after stealing someone else's stuff?"

The woman brushed off Isabella's hand. With glaring eyes the woman puffed Isabella's head with her index finger and replied, "I'll break your neck if you dare to prevent me from leaving."

"I won't prevent you if you return my stolen brooch" replied Isabella.

The woman's laughter roared inside the room. Then he haughtily said, "Golden-ranked mercenaries like you want to prevent me again, then make no mistake of me if your entire body is crushed. After all that brooch you can ask your master again right? you just need to go home and whine at his feet."

"You forced me" whispered Isabella.

Isabella placed her hand on the woman's head, then she slammed the woman's head onto the floor. Spontaneously all the mercenary knights in the room immediately stood up from their seats, they stared intently at Isabella who dared to attack her comrade.

"What do you want?" Isabella returned their gazes, and used a hint of her strength to suppress all of them.

Their sharp gazes instantly turned quiet, the pressure did not affect them too much. But they didn't want to start a fight with Isabella, or something bad was going to happen and it was better than having to get hurt just for defending one haughty fellow.

The woman fainted and was taken to the treatment room by 3 colleagues, he got the proper lesson for his arrogant attitude.

"Dare to underestimate me just because I'm under you. The difference of one level has made you seem to be above the clouds, then I will not hesitate to help yourself to be back on the ground even fused with it," inward Isabella re-picked her brooch.

Chequek!

The sound of the door opening and a large and tall man appeared from outside. Isabella was fascinated to see the man's body. But far more dazzling is the diamond-level brooch on her clothes, Isabella is convinced that this man must be a titan.

Isabella's charmed gaze managed to attract the attention of the man, until he was inspired to approach Isabella.

"Greetings, I'm Bara Jourell. You may know me or have heard my name somewhere" Bara reached out to Isabella.

Isabella quickly shook her hand, "My name is Allred. Greetings to Mr. Bara, but unfortunately I do not know you or have heard your name."

Jem!

Bara's heart was like a spear, this was the first time he had met a person who had never even heard of his name.

All that is not without cause, the name Bara Jourelll has been famous to the ears of the emperor. He was the most savage, ruthless, and unforgiving mercenary knight. No one in this empire dared to offend him or oppose him, he was highly respected anywhere.

Bara pulled her hand violently to make Isabella confused, her attitude even changed 180 degrees from before when Isabella did not say anything or behave badly.

"Did he put water in?" he muttered as Bara had gone to a seat far away from him.

"Young Larl Luca Alfie entered the room," a shout from outside along with the door opened.

All of Isabella's mercenary knights except Bara, instantly kneeled on one foot welcoming the entrance of the greatest herbologists in the empire.

"Stand!" luca orders after he sits in a special place himself.

The knights immediately stood with their right hand on their chest. But not with Bara, he still sat without manners.

"I don't have to explain what you're doing anymore. I came just to make sure everything is gathered, because the auction will be held 2 anniversary for 2 days that you are free to enjoy free time. Sleama you guys don't make a fuss then I won't care about all your types of activities" said Luca.

After that Luca immediately left the room, and was replaced by several servants who were in charge of delivering all the mercenary knights to their respective rooms.

"Hey you, come here!" the middle-aged male servant called out to Isabella as she was just about to enter her room.

Isabella approached the man and asked, "What's up, sir?" 

"Earl Alfie wants to see you" said the man.

"alright. Please take me to see the earl," replied Isabella.

The man nodded then led Isabella to the workspace of the head of the Alfie family, when Isabella entered it turned out Bara was also in the room.

"What the fuck is this Sean? why did you call this liar when I was with you" Bara protested.

"Liar? why do you say I'm a liar? what's your problem with me?" asked Isabella who did not accept herself to be insulted for no reason.

"Huh? you still dare to ask me? obviously you yourself said you didn't know me and never heard my name, it was obviously a lie because I was famous all the way outside this empire" Bara replied confidently.

"So you think I should know you because you're famous, huh? what a ridiculous thought. 

"Bare you …." Bara unleashed his power as he drowned in anger.

Isabella immediately knelt on the floor because no power to withstand the pressure from Bara, Isabella would not have expected that the difference in strength between them would be this big.

"Stop Bara! the boy did not lie. She doesn't know you," Sean told me before Isabella suffered.

Bara was forced to immediately regain control of his strength, while Isabella immediately drooped on the floor.

"He's a new mercenary so he doesn't know you. He's the man your best friend is protecting, March. So do not be too hard on him because this child is very liked by the rabbit couple, he is a child who does not know the world wide even adventurous only 6 months," explained Sean.

Bara was shocked to the point of feeling embarrassed for being childish with his arrogant nature, he did not expect that Isabella had a relationship with a friend who had broken up with him for 10 years.

"I'm sorry, son." Bara helps Isabella stand up and helps her to her seat.

"alright. I asked you to come here, because I believe in you. It also has to do with escorting my son, Luca," Sean said.

"Why do you only believe in the two of us? though the mercenary knights who received this request were many," asked Bara in confusion.

"Because you are from a guild whose owner is a loyal person. You must protect Luca not from any other danger but from them, they are the mercenary knights my daughter Zelene brought. Zelene uses a mask to deceive many people, she does not really love Luca instead she wants to eliminate Luca so that the position of heir falls on him" said Sean.

"It's easy, we just have to keep Luca away from those mercenary knights, right?" asked Isabella innocently.

"Free. Luca believes in Zelene very much, he will not be wary of the mercenary knight Zelene brought with him instead he feels wary of you two. For Zelene has been deceiving the boy since he was a child" replied Sean.

"Curtain! a bad brother will get a bad ending too. This is why I hate noble families, because they are always blinded by power until they have to finish off their own families" Bara said.

"I entrust Luca's safety to you, so don't let me down." There was little implied threat from Sean's remarks. For Isabella the mission this time will not be easy, but she is not too worried because people as strong as Bara are on the same side as her.
