THE LORD OF THE OTHER WORLD

Chapter 10: Meeting With Hawk

Seeing the departure of the Mavis troupe followed a deep sense of joy for Mrs N'am. Today the sky was very generous sending a kind-hearted young man who was willing to spend all his wares, especially after the middle-aged lung woman knew that Mavis and her flock intended to distribute for free some of the fish cakes to the residents who live in the slums.

Mavis herself certainly did not brag with her words, she actually stepped away towards the rundown alley across from where she was now. The shadow creatures that followed Mavis from behind did not comment much, it seems they brought the packages full of dry food with a calm attitude.

Indeed, on the surface it is as if they relax the guard, but actually the shadow creatures who have the sense of taste secretly send signals to the master through telepathic connections. They instantly recognized that there was a group of humans hiding around and were just waiting for the time to come ambushing. As if it was fine with that, Mavis nonchalantly gave her servants approval to act, once the enemy started making moves.

On the other hand, the tension can be felt if the robbers are hiding on the roof of the building. One of the people focused on observing the situation of the Mavis group and shortly reported that there were no suspicious signs so far, the man using the red bandana assured the party opposite the connection that the group was completely unaware of the ambush operation.

"They walk towards the designated area, be prepared."

The connection just finished disconnected. However, before the man could react and realize what was happening, a female figure suddenly appeared from behind and slashed her neck with a pair of daggers in hand. Soon fresh blood inundated the roof of the three-story building.

"What about the target, boss?" said one of the gondrong-haired bandits, he smiled obliquely as he asked the group leader.

"She said everything is still in our control. This time, I really misunderstood people. I thought that when I first staked out in the outer area of the market, I felt a killing coming from one of them. However, they seemed to be no different from a group of weak nobles who were lost with their servants. My concern is unwarranted, you're right about this" said the thick-browed man dressed in all black as the group's leader.

The man named Hawk who was the leader of the bandits was sitting in the middle of a pile of wooden boxes, completely blocking the road in the slum alley area. While some of his men were already preparing in their respective positions, some were standing on top of the building, some were on standby around the leader and some ferocious fighters were putting their bodies in the front row. The group had been prepared to rob, they had fully been waiting for further instructions from the bandit leader.

Not long after they soon found the appearance of the Mavis group with a faint shadow. At that time they were completely unaware of the difference in numbers in the group, which was thanks to the pounding of sand swept by the wind and ended up misleading the vision of each of them. Mavis herself chuckled, as if pitying the bandit group. Well, whether or not there are these little sandstorms, doesn't mean they can win. There was only the choice of death on their hands, since deciding to deal with the Mavis group.

"Target is already moving towards this place, all of you get ready in position! Move according to command—"

Gunshot.

The bandit leader froze as soon as he felt the intense pain coming from the area around his stomach. He stopped talking and stiffened. His hand touched the wound part and immediately his face turned ugly when he saw fresh blood begin to flow from within his body.

"What's that sound?"

"Did you hear it?"

"What's going on?"

"Boss, did you hear that too? Actually what— sound" The long-haired bandit immediately put on an ugly face when he found the leader in a state of blood. He panicked and immediately gave the order to the others to gather near the fallen Hawk with his hands closing the wound. "Who dares to do this to the Boss, I will finish him off with my hands!"

From behind the gap of the bandit group crowd, the man stared fiercely at the group of Mavis who slowly appeared before them. The first time the figure of a short-bodied waiter and a cowboy-like hat walked in front while playing the deadly weapon in his hands.

Putting aside those who possessed abilities such as an adventurer, knight, or martial arts expert, the combat standard of that weapon could truly inflict fatal injuries to an ordinary person with just a single shot. Many did not believe what Mavis said, including the dwarf who was currently carrying the weapon. Until finally he could try it on the bandit leader and confirm the prowess of the weapon with his own eyes.

"Great!"

"Lord, look, I'm straight about the leader!"

Momongan opened the cover of his cape while shouting in excitement. Basically he was being proud of himself and trying to convince Mavis that he had taken a big contribution. Just contact the words of the dwarf immediately provoked hostility from the bandit group. Their gazes exuded an aura of hatred, but at the same time doubts adorned the faces of each of them. Of course, they were not so foolish as to choose to continue the fight blindly. Seeing the leader being defeated so easily, anyone among the bandits must have realized that the Mavis group was no match for them.

Forcing to go fight? Isn't that the same as hastening their deaths?

"Who are you guys?"

"And you ... damn it! What kind of creature are you! Who are you all! Why did you suddenly shoot our Boss!" said the long-haired man who was currently helping the bandit leader stand up.

"Isn't that a dwarf? It was really like an ancient being that had appeared within a dungeon lately!"

"Why can ...."

Those poor bandits fell into his thoughts.

"No, no, I should have asked. Where does the confidence of lowly humans like you come from? If it wasn't for my Master being in such a good mood that being a little lenient, you couldn't have been alive until this very second" Luna said as she lowered her protective cape, revealing his true appearance that came from the goblin race.
