After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

Even at his weakest, even if he leaves the team, even if he doesn't have the holy sword armor, even if he doesn't have any special skills except for normal attacks, Aize is still a hero.

This group of guys can't commit fraud.

Before the leader realized what was happening, Aize caught up and stabbed him, and the weapon in his hand and his entire arm flew out.

“Ah ...

The opponent screamed miserably. Aize threw away his weapon, kicked him to the ground, and stepped hard on his chest.

He bent down and said coldly:

"You have ten minutes before you bleed to death. Explain yourself clearly and you'll be saved. Tell me, who are you? Who sent you here? What exactly do you want to do by attacking a store like this?!"

"Uh...I..."

The man struggled, big drops of cold sweat running down his forehead, his eyes spinning rapidly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Don't play tricks! You..."

Aize caught a glimpse of the person he had just knocked away. He had already climbed up from the ground and took out a blowgun and aimed it at Anna who was standing at the door.

"Tsk——"

Throwing away the prisoner under his control, Aize dodged and took the blow with his body.

Taking advantage of this time, the two men took out their daggers and cut their necks without hesitation.

The restaurant, filled with the smell of blood, fell into an eerie silence in an instant.

"call--"

Aize took a breath, pulled out the blowpipe stuck in his arm, and looked at the arrow head carefully.

Fortunately, it seems to be non-toxic.

After finishing his work, he turned to Anna, who was already stunned, and asked:

"How's it going? You're not hurt, are you?"

"Ah... um... thank you..."

The girl had not yet recovered from her shock and could only nod blankly.

After taking a few seconds to realize what was happening, he rushed into the store and started searching frantically.

Soon, she came to Aize in panic again.

"Big brother, it's bad! Uncle, and my brothers and sisters are all gone!!!"

----------

Nelson, 24, is a risk-taker.

As one of the adventurers under the guild Tafia branch, because he is good at stealth, he does not participate in monster subjugation, but specializes in doing dirty work.

This time, he was sent by Roderick to kidnap an imperial female noble named Vivian.

In theory, this is a very simple task.

But the boss had given the order that he could only take action if the pretty boy who lived with him was not around.

As a result, the wait lasted for several days.

There was also a strange red-haired woman who said she could lead people away. However, she went to the house more than ten times in three days, but the other party didn't leave.

Not long ago, I didn't know what happened and ran away crying.

Can't figure it out.

But Nelson didn't need to figure it out, because just now, that damn pretty boy finally went out.

That confident and arrogant red-haired woman couldn't do it for days, but he just walked out casually. It's a bit funny to think about it.

He sent a message to his men, and a total of five cloaked adventurers immediately stepped out of the shadows and gathered around him.

"Alright guys, that stinky guy is finally out, get ready to fight!"

One of the men moved his neck impatiently.

"Boss, it's been several days now, and the brothers are almost worn out from hiding."

"That's right, Mr. President, you've kept us here for so long, you should at least give us some compensation!"

Nelson interrupted impatiently:

"Where does all this nonsense come from? Do you remember what I said to you before?"

"Remember, remember, they said that you can only grab the mistress of this house and not touch her?"

"What a shame! I heard the hostess of this place is very beautiful, even prettier than the succubus in the custom shop~"

"What are you afraid of? The mistress can't be touched. I think the maid in this house is pretty good. They didn't say we can't touch the maid..."

A group of people were chattering and making a lot of noise.

After all, it is a team composed of the best of all scum, so we can't expect any cohesion.

Nelson nodded and took out a poisoned dagger from his waist.

"Stop talking nonsense and take action!"

The few of them immediately shut up, and after making sure that no guards were passing by, they walked out of the dark alley where they were hiding and quietly approached the courtyard wall.

Climb up, flip over, and then fall down skillfully, without making any sound——

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

No, after the first few people landed, the last person suddenly fell onto the lawn inside the wall with a scream.

Nelson was so angry that he turned around and kicked him:

"What the hell are you yelling about?!"

The adventurer with a shoe print on his face covered his thigh, his face full of pain:

"No, I didn't mean to yell, Boss. The wall suddenly got taller and I even broke my leg!"

"You've been licking the succubus's pussy so hard you lost your mind!? How did the wall suddenly get taller!?"

"But……"

"You idiot! Just lie still! Everyone else, speed up!!"

Even a deaf person could hear this scream.

Not to mention that the people in the house would be prepared, the guards would also be here soon, and there was not much time left.

Nelson, who wanted to end the battle quickly, just turned his head and was stunned again.

Because in front of this group of men in black, there was another group of men in black who had also sneaked in and were staring at them in surprise.

Chapter 47: Colleagues are enemies

Nelson and his followers were all dumbfounded.

Is this...meeting a colleague?

The other party's situation was similar. They looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

What if the other party is coming with bad intentions and is also targeting the hostess of this house? You can't just split the target in half and divide it equally, right?

So... take them out first?

Nelson hadn't made up his mind yet, but the other party clearly had. After a brief exchange of words, they all drew their broadswords and attacked without hesitation.

"Run, get inside!!"

As Nelson shouted, he took out a smoke bomb and threw it hard at his feet.

With a "puff", thick gray smoke immediately spread out, instantly covering the entire yard. Several people took advantage of the situation and rushed towards the house, breaking the glass and jumping in.

Except for the unlucky guy who fell and got injured.

He stumbled to his feet and tried to escape, limping with his injured leg.

"Boss! Boss! Save me, save me!!!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. The other team was very fast and had already rushed over. They pierced his chest with a sword, and his screams echoed in the smoke.

The people who fled into the house were terrified after hearing this.

A thug came up to Nelson tremblingly:

"Boss, where are these guys from? Why are they so ruthless? They don't follow any underworld rules!"

"Damn it—didn't you see the equipment those bastards were wearing?"

While cursing, Nelson took out two more poison smoke bombs and threw them out of the window, hoping that this would delay the situation for a while longer.

"Those guys are wearing plate armor under their cloaks. They're not gangsters at all. They're the Knights of NM!!!"

"The Knights!!?"

The minions panicked.

The Knights Templar are professional armed forces that are widely present in various countries and churches.

Not only are each person super elite, they are also equipped with extremely excellent equipment. Any one of them has the combat power to rival a small team.

If it is true, then any one of these people on the opposite side can be picked out to kill them all.

"Why...why are the Knights here?!"

"Could it be that they are protecting this family?!"

"Protect you ****, have you ever seen someone wearing a black cloak, climbing over the wall to protect someone? The gang members are here to do the dirty work, just like us!!"

Nelson's features were almost distorted.

He couldn't figure it out. What kind of heavenly law had this family violated? How could they offend both the Knights and the Guild at the same time?

He also cursed the red-haired washboard woman.

If she hadn't been nagging them, they would have taken action long ago. Would it have taken until today to cause such a big mistake?

Nelson threw out two more poison smoke bombs.

In this situation, let alone completing the mission, even saving one's life is difficult.

Although the consequences of breach of contract would be serious, he still gritted his teeth and roared:

"Run away, run the other way!"

The men could no longer wait and rushed to the other side impatiently after getting permission.

The leading adventurer hurried across the living room, broke the glass and jumped out from the other side.

But just as he landed in the yard, before he could even stand firmly, a flash of sword light passed by. He didn't even have the chance to scream, his head flew out in an arc, and his body fell to the ground on the grass with a thud.

Immediately afterwards, two black-cloaked knights jumped in from the opened window.

surrounded.

"Quick, run up, quick!"

Nelson roared and threw out all the throwing knives and daggers he could.

But this had no effect. These poisoned weapons hit the knights' armor and bounced off with a "bang", without leaving even a scratch.

Several people tried to rush up the stairs by crawling like stray dogs, but the two knights were extremely fast and caught up with them in an instant, with their broadswords raised high.

It's dead, I'm going to capsize in the ditch!!

Nelson's mind went blank.

Then--

"Uhhhhhh-"

"What is this!!?"

The ground beneath the two knights' feet seemed to have turned into a swamp, swallowing their legs. No matter how they struggled, they could not escape.

In just two seconds, it was completely swallowed up and disappeared without a trace.
