The Supreme Magic Throne

Chapter 13 The Sudden Attack

Jackson squeezed out his own chin and showed an ordinary smile, "Andre, good work lately. By the way, what were you guys talking about just now?"

Andre smiled in a flattering manner, "Sister Jackson, just a trivial matter. I saw a young man I knew go out of town every day for a few days, so it's kind of weird."

"Did you notice what he was carrying when he left? And what did he bring back?" Jackson smiled amiably, but for some reason, Andre and Mark felt goosebumps.

Mark claimed to have one-sixteenth of the blood of the Alan Highland barbarian tribe in his body, a criminal who believed in boxing more than God or God. When asked by Jackson, he immediately difficult to answer, while Andre is a little more normal. After trying to remember for a while, he said hesitantly "It seems to go with the worn linen bag, but back then, it seemed like there was something in his linen bag. But this season is the season many mushrooms grow on the edge of the dark forest across the Belem River, so he might go metic mushrooms."

“What does the mushroom pick need a strong-powered young man? The edge of the Black Forest was harmless, a little girl or a little boy was enough.” Jackson shook his head.

Andre asked boldly, "But Brother Jackson, what is there to suspect from a dirty and poor boy like him?"

The city of Alto has a total of three city gates, while those overlooking the Belem River and the Melzer Dark Forest are the busiest. There were countless merchants, civilians, mercenaries, and adventurers passing by every day, where perhaps Andre and Mark could focus on a poor boy like Lucian.

Jackson chuckled, "Reigh the blacksmith came to me the other day. He bought a nice piece of metal from a young man. The metal was copper that the high-ranking rich used. It's only the worst quality, but it's still very useful for forging sharper daggers, so he's curious about the origin of the copper, and wants to know if we can monopolize the source."

“Sackson, you mean Lucian sold that copper to Reigh?” The Mark muscle brain connects the two directly, regardless of whether there is evidence or not.

Jackson slightly nodded, "He was very worried. Reigh did not manage to follow him. Copper fragments have also been examined, but remain unknown. It took me more than a day to find some clues from the market area. He very often went back and forth the market these few days, so it would definitely leave an impression on people. There are people who say he always comes to the city gate at this hour, hehehe, I don't think you know him, good then."

“Sister Jackson, what should we do?” Andre hurriedly asked Jackson for a hint.

Jackson pointed to the city gate, "Tell me first of his identity, then follow him and find out where he got those things from. If caught, then arrest and interrogate, while for the money in his body will be yours."

"Okay, Brother Jackson." Mark directly advanced to Andre's front and replied, the flesh on his face was shaking violently from excitement.

It had been more than ten days that he had not used his fists to teach a lesson to someone, so he became excited.

Lucian carrying a linen bag was on his way to the Belem River. He who found a way to make money was already calmer after a full half-day of excitement, and now began to think of a way to not get caught, at least not get caught until he had managed to collect five silver narrows.

“Although I have noticed many aspects, but I have never done this kind of thing, even more so in this different world that I do not understand too much. It's hard to know if I left a gap that could arouse suspicion. As planned, tomorrow I will pass through the same city gate area, then start the day after tomorrow from the city gate in Nolan District, and change to the Purple Lily District gate in three days."

Purple Lily District is the civil territory of Aalto, and Nolan District is another market area, the city gate is far from Belem River, so it is necessary to get around. If it was from the district of the city gate area that he used to pass through, it would only take two hours to go back and forth plus pluck some mushrooms to cover up the suspicions in the Melzer Dark Forest, he said, and it will take at least three hours to go back and forth if from the other two city gates.

Lucian who was thinking about many things, suddenly felt a vague feeling of someone was following him.

'Who is following me?' Lucian is full of vigilance.

Ever since he was nearly strangled to the heart by Gary in the sewer, Lucian has realized that his mind and senses have become sharper. Hence, he could successfully escape being diekori while selling his goods at the market these few days.

Lucian did not dare to let his guard down, pretended not to know, and walked through a flat corner of the road, utilizing grass, trees, and so on to block the view of the person who followed him, then immediately ran away with all his might, so he could not help but walk away, hiding behind a big tree and waiting for the appearance of the people who follow it.

Lucian is very calm at the moment. He had to figure out who was following him, so that in the future he could figure out a way to deal with it.

After one to two minutes, heavy footsteps rang out, then stopped, then a head stuck out to see where Lucian was.

"Damn it, the boy ran away!"

"Andre, you should have heard my words from the beginning. Wherever he is, we just catch him and beat him up, the problem's over."

The two of them seemed to have no thought of covering up and continued to get angry.

Lucian was initially surprised because the voice sounded familiar, but when Mark called out the name 'Andre', Lucian immediately understood, 'Geng Aaron suspected me that fast?'

Andre and Mark were arguing on the spot for a minute. When they see that Lucian is completely gone, they become depressed. Jackson was so ruthless, if they messed up what Jackson ordered, it didn't seem like they would end well.

“Mark, don't you always brag that you have the blood of the barbarians so you can distinguish the smell of the wind?” Andre suddenly recalled something Mark mentioned while Mark was boasting earlier.

Mark touched his own bald head, and said in a buzzing hoarse voice, "Almost forget, sometimes can but sometimes not."

Not far away, Lucian heard the conversation between the two people, and his vigilance again rose again. Because only a few days live in this world, so there are many ways and methods that are still poorly understood by Lucian.

Mark raised his head slightly, took a deep breath through his nose, and suddenly, he shouted excitedly, "I smell the stench of that damn brat!"

While shouting, he immediately took a big step and ran towards the big tree where Lucian was hiding, Andre also immediately followed.

When Mark shouted, Lucian had already turned around and ran away, trying to get rid of the two of them quickly.

But who knows, Mark who is tall, strong, and full of muscles, it turns out very fast. As their distance nears, Mark several times almost manages to catch Lucian's clothes if not for fear of hitting a tree.

The forest on this side of the Belem River was not very dense, Lucian who was running could widen his eyes well, because he could no longer rely on trees and dexterity to avoid Mark.

Lucian was not panicking. Compared to facing Gary who was a high-level knight warrior, Mark's aura and pressure were much lower, let alone compared to the dense red-eyed rat wave before.

'Keep running away like this is not a solution.' Taking advantage of the opportunity Mark is chasing and Andre is still far away, Lucian quickly took the decision to beat Mark first.

As Lucian was on high alert and ready for action, Mark's joyous screams rang out in Lucian's ears.

Lucian suddenly stopped immediately, his body slightly lowered, his head lowered, then kicked towards the arrival of Mark's body.

Mark who had not expected Lucian to stop suddenly, could not control his own body that was rushing forward. So it subconsciously swung its right fist, but the attack avoided by Lucian was already prepared from the start.

As soon as Lucian's kick hit Mark, his tightly clenched right fist hit Mark's stomach hard, causing Mark's stomach to churn, his throat sour, and eventually screaming in pain.

But such a punch was still less powerful to subvert Mark who had one-sixteenth of barbarian blood flowing in his body. After two seconds, Mark's left elbow had started to strike down.

However, before his elbow could land, Lucian's right leg had already been bent from the start and successfully struck in the direction of **********Mark.

"Aakhs!"

Mark was crossbred but looked nothing like a barbarian tribe, screaming in pain while covering his lower body with both hands, and rolling around on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Andre who was not far away felt his crotch goosebumps for no reason and his movements became slower.

Lucian did not even look at it, immediately turned around and fled, as Andre came with a dagger in hand, and Lucian felt that his own surroundings were also nothing to use as a weapon. He didn't even know how strong Andre was, plus Mark could probably continue fighting again after a while. After all, Mark's body was extremely strong.

After Andre had chased a dozen steps, and the distance with Lucian had already gotten further and further, and Mark was still rolling behind him, after hesitating for a moment, he finally stopped.

“Without great power, there really is no sense of security at all in this world, even making a little more money alone should not.” The experience during this time made Lucian unable to hold back and sigh, but something affected him inwardly.

By this time, it was already over nine in the morning. After returning to the town of Alto through the city gates of Nolan District, Lucian secretly sneaks into his own house in the slums, and takes out all the money he has hidden. After all, Andre and Mark knew him, and knew that his job was introduced by Cohen, so Aaron's gang might have gotten detailed information about where he lived. Lucian only hoped to be a step faster than them, otherwise, the results of hard work so far would be in vain, plus had offended the gang thugs.

Lucian hid behind the outer wall of a house and quietly looked towards his own house. Seeing no suspicious people around, Lucian was just about to ask a neighbor boy he knew secretly, but at the same time, suddenly appeared a dozen men aggressively approaching Lucian's house.

As an ordinary, well-dressed man pointed with a finger, a burly young man immediately came forward and kicked flying the door of Lucian's already tattered and swaying house.
