Behind the palace, a beautiful place but so quiet because it rarely has visitors.
It appeared to be a girl in training clothes swinging a wooden sword with a serious expression on her face. Sweat ran down the girl's pretty face. His black hair was curled up behind his head so as not to bulge. The purple-colored iris looked beautiful when exposed to the afternoon sun.
Vertical slash, horizontal slash .. The various basic movements were performed by the girl very well. It seems to have been trained for years. Both of his palms looked rough, in contrast to the palms of the other noble girls.
At that moment, the girl was shocked when she saw some figures suddenly appear above the palace walls. Having a serious expression on his face, he immediately shouted.
“Who are you all?! What are you doing here!”
“We are-“
“You don't need-“
Opposite voices are heard. Just then, the twelve people standing on the outer wall of the palace looked at each other. There were ten people in assassin-like clothes in one group. While the two people on the other hand were wearing ordinary clothes, but had a striking appearance.
“Who are you two?”
“That's what we're supposed to ask, suspicious people! How dare you interrupt the wise words of Boss!”
“Silence, Jotaro! That's embarrassing!”
“...”
Seeing the twelve people who had appeared suddenly arguing, the girl felt confused. Not only him, even the twelve others were confused as well.
‘Shouldn't I have come first and be attacked, or come late like a hero? What the fuck comes together like this! Really makes the situation awkward!’
“Uhuk! Uhuk! First of all, you must come to our side first, Miss Nanami. We will protect you from-“
“No!” The girl immediately interrupted with a stern expression.
“Anu ... why?” arthur asked with a puzzled expression.
“...”
The assassins on the other hand were at a loss for words. They felt that the friendly blind man and the burly bald man behind him were more suspicious than themselves. Not to mention, the bald fellow had a smile on his face that somehow gave them goosebumps. Although intended to look cool, but the appearance of the sams is not suitable!
Looks like a suspicious duo!
“Wait a minute, Brother!” the leader of the assassin group shouted.
“Hah?” Arthur and Jotaro turned towards them suspiciously.
“It seems that you are also interested in the prize. Although being divided more meant getting less, it was better than unnecessary fighting, right?
Of course, since you guys are also stronger and don't use disguises, you get more. We truly respect fugitives who are not afraid of death like you!”
“...”
The wind hit Arthur and Jotaro's face. Empty expressions immediately appeared on the faces of the two of them. At that moment, both of them understood two important things.
First, there seems to be a person who wants Nanami's life and makes a contest to kill her.
Second, the other party, a group of assassins considered the two of them as fugitives due to the strange appearance of the two!
Arthur's lips twitched. His body trembled with anger. But in the end, he took a deep breath to suppress all his emotions.
“Isn't that disrespectful, guys? Where might we look like fugitives, right?”
“No! You guys really look like famous fugitives in-“
BLARR!!!
The figure of the man immediately shot out quickly and fell hard in the backyard, making a huge basin with many cracks like a spider web.
“HEAD!” shouted the remaining nine people.
They then looked towards the direction their previous chairman was standing. There, there was a handsome male figure who wore an eye patch and looked friendly. Merely, the man raised his fist which was still billowing, filled with smoke.
‘Isn't this man a swordsman? Why is he hitting? Is the sword and costume just a display?’
Ignoring the astonished people, Arthur wiped the sweat on his forehead while continuing to smile kindly. He then put his hands together and said in a wise tone.
“Blaming that person is not something worth doing, My friend. If you look carefully, there is no way a person like me is a dangerous fugitive, right?”
Hearing that, the nine others immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice. But at that moment, there was a sound that made them all breathe in cold air.
“But the way you talk to the girl is like a child kidnapper, Boss. Plus hitting the person who is talking ... seems you are a little bit like a dangerous fugitive in their mouth?” Jotaro stroked his chin, looking like he was thinking hard.
‘Quiet Arthur ... Cool out! Now you are the patient, kind, friendly Ryuma! Relax!’
While trembling with anger, Arthur continued to try to calm himself down. Before he calmed down, several guards suddenly appeared and shouted.
“What are you guys doing there, Thief!”
Hearing the guards coming, the nine assassins immediately fled. While Arthur who wants to hit the guard because he is called a thief is detained by Jotaro.
“Quiet, Boss. They're palace guards. We can't attack them.”
“Down and surrender yourself, Thief! Otherwise, the archer squad will not hesitate!”
At that time, in addition to the dozens of guards who had arrived, there appeared to be many archers who appeared and aimed towards Arthur and Jotaro.
“Now how, Boss?”
“Really ... I just want to finish the task peacefully and quietly.”
Arthur shrugged his shoulders and sighed. After which, he jumped off the wall with a height of nearly ten meters and landed lightly. He raised both hands and said.
“We have business with Miss Nanami. We have no intention of stealing nor-“
“If you don't have a malicious plan, why don't you come and report.”
“That's because of you guys, the guards didn't accept us just because I said the name Nanami.”
As if not hearing Arthur's words, the guard captain immediately shouted.
“CATCH THEM BOTH!”
“Capture?”
Arthur tilted his head. He then muttered in an annoyed tone.
“I just want to return the favor and complete the task for not wanting to waste my precious time. You guys, pet politicians keep getting in my way. Don't you guys know how annoying that is?”
Just then, the pressure from a 1-star gold-level cultivator instantly exploded. This instantly made many guards pale. Some of them even fell to their knees. As the pressure begins to spread, some of them begin to have difficulty breathing.
Nanami who saw such a scene was instantly shocked. In a few moments, a shout that was followed by a powerful pressure appeared.
“STOP!”
In less than a minute, dozens of people showed up. Some of them were royalty of the Fuji Kingdom, while the rest were their invited guests. Among them all, there were five people who were the most conspicuous as they had all also broken through to the golden level.
However, only one old man spoke.
“What are you doing in my palace, Young Man? Do you want to make a mess here?”
“Creating chaos? I'm sorry, I don't like to do that. But you should educate your pet not to try to bite people carelessly, Old Man. I wanted to treat you with respect, but I didn't.
I don't care if you hate Nanami's mother or her father. Yet make a child who knows nothing to bear the faults of their parents ..”
The energy around Arthur started to rage. The surrounding clumps began to burn to ashes due to the high temperatures around them. Without even opening her blindfold, she looked up at the former King.
“IT'S REALLY DISGUSTING!”
