KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Captain and Soldier

Gentayu intended to look briefly out the door of his room before going back to sleep. He did not want to be bothered further by the conflict between the old man and the Red Star group. But his gaze was fixed on a man dressed quite luxuriously which signified his nobility walking from the direction of the stairs connecting this 2nd floor with the ground floor to the source of the commotion. Along behind him were five bodyguards in uniform typical of city warrior Sei Asin and another man in his 50s with the Red Star attribute behind him.

They just passed in front of Gentayu who by turn then closed the broken door was intended to continue his sleep that had been disturbed. But a bodyguard who had been looking at him seemed unhappy and reprimanded him

"Young man, show your respect!" it snapped violently when the small group was right in front of the door of Gentayu's room.

"Who? You mean me?" Gentayu pointed at his own nose questioning the intentions of the bodyguard lazily.

"Quick! give respect!" The bodyguard was about to hold Gentayu's head intending to force him down in honor. It seemed that this bodyguard wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to curry favor with his master.

Of course Gentayu who had been the captain would not be willing to submit to being ruled by such a low-level warrior. Even if he has no power. It seems, tonight he has to teach a lesson to the noble guard soldiers who know who that is.

Gentayu only caught the soldier's hand before he could touch his head. Next came the sound of broken bones that shocked the small group who had just passed because of the loudness of the sound

'A 'SCOAK! SMASH IT!

'DWO..!' covered with the sound of a slammed body.

The soldier did not die. But both elbows of his arms have been broken. Likewise, both knees can now be bent forward and back. The soldier fainted. While the other bodyguards glared watching his partner collapse just like that.

Seeing that, the noble's face was not happy. Likewise with the view of the middle-aged man in the Red Star uniform. They stopped his steps. The man dressed in a Red Star uniform came forward to Gentayu who intended to turn his body back into his room.

"Hey, kid! Who allowed you to just leave after offending young master Tian?!!" The man snapped in disbelief with Gentayu's indifference.

The young master Tian's entourage confirmed Gentayu's speech. They'll take care of it later. So thought they. Their initial intention to this inn and make a fuss was indeed due to the presence of the person who was involved in the fight against the Red Star group at the end of the second-floor passageway of this inn.

Gentayu really did not care about the commotion that occurred.

'The old man could definitely overcome these arrogant people easily.. Hoaaaa...'

He lay down again to continue his delayed sleep.

But not yet had his eyes returned to sleep, the screams of the lodgers who came from the ground floor made him awake again with annoyance.

"YYYYYYYYYY.....AAN...!!"

Before long, the floor he stepped on swayed. Realizing that the wood floor was about to collapse, Gentayu jumped out through the window.

From his current position in the inn court, there was a fire burning and began to scorch the rooms on the 2nd floor not far from the position of the room he had originally occupied. From the ground floor, it seems the fire started. The cause was the efforts of the Red Star people who turned out to be obstructed by the inn officials made them angry and burned the inn. Absolutely bar-bar!

Three shadows followed by several figures seen jumping from inside the burning building. They were the middle-aged man from the Red Star that Gentayu saw carrying the noble called Tian, followed by the old man who was involved in a ruckus in front of the inn this afternoon, as well as several Red Star members and guard soldiers.

The soldiers and Red Star members immediately surrounded the old man in white clothes. The fight broke out again. While the middle-aged man who was with the noble who was summoned as young master Tian, signaled to the other Red Star members to step aside. Apparently, this man was the leader of the Red Star group.

"It seems, there will be an interesting spectacle' Gentayu smiled and just watched everything enthusiastically. Of course he wanted to see just how much power the Red Star leader had made him so arrogant and seemingly invincible that his members easily offended anyone he encountered regardless of his background.
