On a deserted road in a forest filled with fallen leaves, Arthur and his comrades came to a halt.
They just want to continue on their way to the next city. Only, they did not expect to have an accident in a place like this. Or rather, experience a siege here.
Arthur looked around with a curious expression. Twenty people surrounded the three of them. They were definitely not bandits because their appearance was quite striking. Moreover, it was impossible for a bandit to contain a full member with cultivators.
Moreover, it seemed that five out of the twenty people were quite strong.
“Is something wrong, friends? I don't think I know you guys, do I?”
One of the people, the youngest of the five people dressed conspicuously came forward while saying.
“You may not know us. But we know you, Mr. Arthur.”
Hearing that, Arthur's expression became even more serious. He clearly came from another world. Other than the Heavenly Pillar Sect, only the Garden of Death knew of his identity. So according to him, only those two groups recognized him.
‘Could it be another senior from the Garden of Death? No. gabe. If it were seniors, they shouldn't be so weak, right? Ah ... might just be his subordinate?’
Arthur's brain is running pretty fast. But after trying to find a clue, the answer is still nil. In the end, he chose to give up.
“Looks like I know them, Boss.” Jotaro whispers.
“Hah?! Are they the family of the person you robbed or something? Coming to get revenge?” whisper Arthur.
“No. There are obviously some gold level cultivators, where maybe the little bandits will make trouble with them.” Jotaro shook his head.
“Then what do you mean?” whisper Arthur.
“I mean, I know their identity. Not know each other or anything.”
“Say more clearly at the beginning,” whispered Arthur was not satisfied.
Seeing the two people whispering to each other, the man just shook his head. His gaze then fell on Lily and the umbrella in her hand. Seeing that, his eyes immediately sparkled.
“We are the Kitajima Clan who just hired the Garden of Death to clean up the cursed village that has been a problem in our region for decades.
The reason we came here is .. to talk about the magic weapon you got. We really did not expect, it turned out that the famous cursed girl was not eliminated and even followed you. Are you interested in collecting evil spirits with such a form?”
“...”
Arthur fell silent. Hearing they were service tenants, he felt dissatisfied because of their arrival. Just that, hearing that person speak as if he knew everything, while fooling himself because Lily was a living human, Arthur was at a loss for words.
The young man did not expect that there were people who were pretentious, but not so smart in this world. Only an expert in bragging!
“Of course, what we want is just that magic weapon. As for the cursed girl, we won't touch her.
The reason why we wanted it was because the magic weapon was very useful to our family. So, if we can, we want to get those magic weapons. Yes ... although using all means.”
The man said in a threatening tone. Just then, a pressure of qi energy emerged from the twenty people surrounding Arthur and his two companions.
A fairly strong pressure emerged from the five people with the most conspicuous clothes. Perplexed by their identity, Arthur hears Jotaro whispering to him.
“Oh?” Arthur raised his eyebrows.
“They are Yusuke, Murai, Shogo, Tetsuji, and Hidetoshi. They are very famous in this area. After all, the Kitajima Clan itself was a family that had many cultivators.
They claim to be nobles and have territory, but refuse to submit to the kingdom.”
Hearing that, Arthur grinned.
“What a selfish, yes?” he said in a half-joking tone.
Hearing Arthur's words, they snorted coldly. Staring at him with fierce expressions on their faces.
Yusuke Kitajima, a male figure in his early thirties. The youngest among the five people who had appeared. He carried a long sword, wearing a dark green noble outfit with a white flower motif. His appearance was quite handsome, but he also looked cunning. His strength was at the level of a 9-star silver.
Murai Kitajima, a plump middle-aged male figure with the most striking appearance for carrying a lot of jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces, and gold rings. He was carrying a large golden axe. Wearing purple noble clothes with yellow flowers. His strength was at the level of a 9-star silver.
Shogo Kitajima, a very thin middle-aged man with a tall body and long hair. He was carrying a spear, wearing a dark red dress with a picture of white flowers. His strength was at the level of 1-star gold.
Tetsuji Kitajima, a burly middle-aged man with a moustache and a neatly cut beard. He carried a sword, dressed in old royal clothes with yellow flowers. He was the current head of the Kitajima Clan. His strength was at the level of 1-star gold.
Hidetoshi Kitajima, the oldest man among the five, is the strongest. He was an old man in simple gray clothes. However, he was from the old generation, the uncle of the previous four people. His strength was at the level of 3-star gold.
Seeing them all, Arthur was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that one family would come to her because of an umbrella. In addition, the young man felt that they lacked confidence because they appeared together and tried to play games.
“What do you think, Mr Arthur? Not only will you earn money, you will get our gratitude. You will be a benefactor as well as a fellow of our Kitajima Clan.”
Yusuke said with a smile on his face. His gaze continued to lead to the umbrella that Lily had brought. Obviously, they wanted that umbrella so badly for a reason.
Arthur did not answer. The young man glanced at Lily who looked quite nervous when surrounded by unknown people. Moreover, the little girl continued to hold her umbrella tightly. Seemingly afraid of losing the only thing that is a memento of his parents and villagers.
Seeing the appearance of the little girl, Arthur glanced at Jotaro. Seeing the man nod heavily, he grinned.
“Your offer is really interesting.”
“Oh? I know that you must be thinking openly, Mr. Arthur. We can-“
“Jotaro. Because you train often without real opponents, you develop too long. Face the 15 keroco as grindstone.”
“Understanding!” jotaro said firmly.
“What does all this mean, Mr Arthur?” yusuke asked with a bad expression on his face.
“Why are you still asking me something so certain? Isn't that obvious?”
Arthur pulled his sword. Looking towards the five most powerful people around, his eyes flashed sharply. A black aura began to envelop his body, and the temperature around him started to become even hotter. With a grin on his face, the young man said.
“AKU REJECT!”
