"I don't like it," Kadyn shook his head when he heard the bandit leader's shout. His face remained nonchalant.

"What?" the bandit leader looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"Your tone," Kadyn smiled, but there was a dangerous glimmer in his smile, and said, "I don't like it."

"Boy," the bandit leader's gaze turned cold when he heard him," do you really want to go against us?"

"No," Kadyn replied, shaking his head. The mercenary guy and others were disappointed by Kadyn's gutless reply, but then Kadyn continued and left everyone stunned on the spot. "I want to tear you apart, do you mind?"

"Humph, kill them all!" the leader shouted and many of the bandits who were trying to break the encirclement of the mercenaries went towards Kadyn's group, like hungry wolves.

"Kill them," Kadyn said, "leave no one alive." — if the bandit leader hadn't threatened him, he would have left them alone without interrupting, as he had no reason to help either of them. However, who would have thought that he was such an arrogant cunt, don't know why, Kadyn didn't like it.

As soon as Kadyn spoke, Hot Rod and Barret dashed towards the rushing bandits. However, before either of them could reach their targets, heads flew in the air, and blood-spattered and splashed their bodies. The duo froze. They felt as if the world was going crazy. 

Then they looked at each other in shock and shook their heads before turning towards Kadyn, walking with dejected looks, muttering. "Well, you should have told us if you wanted to hunt, why show us that ghastly sight. Our poor and old hearts almost stopped beating."

Kadyn eyed Cecilia and his eyes shrank — the blood on the ground moved towards Cecilia on its own and when it touched her feet, it vanished. Then the bodies of the dead started to zombify as if their blood had been sucked dry out of them. The sight was creepy as hell.

At this moment the sound of fighting stopped and everyone stared at Cecilia in horror who was like a goddess of war, standing amid the creepy, zombie looking corpses, hair flying with the wind, clothes fluttering. Kadyn couldn't connect this heroic image to the timid maid who followed Nefia. She looked valiant and bold and daring. He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Who-who are you?" the bandit leader stuttered and a fearful look appeared on his face for the first time. All of those people who were slaughtered by Cecilia just now were Rank 1 mages, even he couldn't cut them down as easily as her. His legs couldn't help but shake when he saw zombie-like appearances of his comrades, but not a single stain could be seen on Cecilia. 

"You aren't qualified to know my name." She replied coldly. The bandit gritted his teeth in fury and shame. How long has it been since someone dared to insult him, he could not remember, and those who dared they have since long became dirt. But he dared not to belittle Cecilia as he knew that he would die if he irritated her. "What do you want?" he took a deep breath and calmed his beating heart. "We are here on the order of Sweeders. Trust me you don't want to annoy them."

"Kill him," Kadyn frowned when the man continued to threaten them directly or indirectly, he didn't like this feeling. No one can threaten me, a ruthless light flickered in his eyes.

"Listen Sweeders aren't someone you can afford to offend. I am telling you…"

Suddenly Cecilia vanished from where she was standing and when the bandit leader saw this he hurriedly stepped back and looked around vigilantly. However, the mercenary guy didn't stand still and a water ball appeared in his hand that he threw at the man. 

Though the attack looked normal, it was quite lethal, the ball of water was highly compressed and its power was unimaginable. The bandit leader didn't dare to take it head-on and tried to avoid it.

However, just as the attack blasted a tree behind him, a dangerous feeling crept out of his heart. He spun around, but no one was behind him. He sighed in relief, but then he froze and blood gushed out of his mouth. He looked down and found a claw dripping with blood and a wildly beating heart on it. He could not believe that he was looking at his own heart. He never thought he would die in such a pathetic way.

"Puchi!"

The hand was pulled off his back with the heart. The bandit leader tried to turn around and see his killer but fell down halfway through. His eyes were filled with grievance and unwillingness and hatred, but it did no good. The winner was already decided.

Cecilia peered at the corpse coldly and the blood essence rushed towards her, vanishing into a thin air. Then she disappeared and appeared behind Kadyn, looking at other people — there were still a few bandits left, but as soon as her gaze fell upon them, they froze and their legs gave in, falling on their knees, begging. No one paid them any attention, though.

At this moment, a man with a white beard and sharp eyes and expensive clothes walked out of the crowd and bowed towards Kadyn. "Thank you very much. The Webney family will not forget this kindness."

"Uh," Kadyn looked at the old man and realised that he was the man who asked him to help them. "You are from the capital?"

"Yes," the man replied nervously. He didn't know if Kadyn was a friend or a foe, so he was very careful. "May I know if the benefactor is also going to the capital?"

"Ah, yes, I want to start a business in the capital, but I don't know anyone there," Kadyn replied. He knew that it might be his chance to build a good relationship with someone from the capital. After all, friends in an unfamiliar country were the best thing he could ask for at the moment.

"Oh, so that's how it is." The old man nodded, his eyes shining with an intelligent glim. He looked at the mercenary leader who had already come to stand not far away from him and said to Kadyn.. "We are also going to the capital. Why don't we travel together?"
