When Shaka saw this, he couldn't help lowering his head a bit, almost as if he was offering a silent prayer for that person.
But then he quickly focused on the people in front of him.
At the same time, Jessica pulled out her sword and she moved in front of me.
The rest of Shaka's men who had fallen with us also pulled out their daggers and prepared for a fight.
The sound alerted the ones who had been outside and they also came in with weapons raised.
But even then, we were completely outnumbered.
There were less than ten of us and there were over fifty enemies standing there in front of us. To win, we would have to each take out five enemies, but that was assuming that we could…
For someone like me, one would even be considered too much…
After we had landed, the boss of the Crow Gang looked at us and said, "It seems like there are quite a few rats that snuck in."
There was a figure that landed beside the boss.
This figure was completely covered in a cloak, so there was no seeing what their real appearance was like. However, that figure was holding a dagger that had a trace of blood on it.
It was clear that this was the person who had just killed one of Shaka's men.
Staring at us, the figure brought the dagger in their hand up to their face. A long tongue came out from under the hood and came out to lick the blood off the dagger.
Then the figure said, "Boss, it seems like your men really are poorly trained. The ones out there are all dead."
When the boss of the Crow Gang heard this, he couldn't help knitting his brows as he looked at us. There was a trace of hostility that could also be found in his eyes, but he held himself back in the end from attacking us then and there.
After a minute of silence, the boss finally asked in a low and threatening voice, "Who are you?"
The boss of the Crow Gang was the boss for a reason. He didn't become the boss by beating everyone in submission, but rather he became the boss because everyone wanted him as the boss.
He was a smart man who had reached the top of the gang with his intelligence.
He was someone that always came up with plans that they profited on and gave them the fewest casualties, so he was someone that everyone willingly followed. At the same time, he treated everyone under him like they were his brothers.
So that was why he felt anger when he heard that his men were killed.
As I faced this gaze from the boss, I just looked back at him with a calm look in my eyes. But during this time, I was looking around myself and trying to find a way out for us.
I knew that this was a bad situation that we had landed in and if we didn't find a way out, we would slowly be worn down by them.
·?θm But before anyone else could say anything, Alex suddenly said, "It's him!"
Everyone from the Crow Gang turned to look at Alex with confused looks, waiting for him to explain.
Alex quickly turned to the boss and said, "Big brother, this is the person that I was telling you about! This person is her lover!"
As soon as he heard this, the boss of the Crow Gang revealed an understanding look.
Then when he turned back to look at us, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Not only was this group the ones who had killed his brothers, they were also the ones that had stood in the way of his plans.
Since he now knew who these people were, there was nothing left for him to do but…to kill them all.
But that was strange for someone like the boss of the Crow Gang who always thought logically.
If one thought about it, it wouldn't make sense for him to attack a noble like this.
That is unless he didn't know that Zwein was a noble.
That was the one detail that Alex had left out when he had reported this back because he knew that as soon as the boss of the Crow Gang knew about this, he would immediately back out. He knew that the boss of the Crow Gang was someone cautious and wouldn't act for big profit unless he was certain that it was safe.
So he knew that he had to hide the fact that Zwein was a noble from him.
Both sides could see that they were prepared to fight now and there was nothing left for them to say, so both sides raised their weapons.
However, before any of them could make a move, Haley suddenly spoke.
The moment that she saw that Zwein was here, she knew what the situation was. At the same time, she knew that she had to say something, or else the situation would develop much worse than what she wanted.
So she immediately said, "He's a noble! If you do anything to him, you will be charged with the crime of harming a noble!"
As soon as they heard this, the Crow Gang thugs all stopped.
The boss of the Crow Gang also looked at Haley with a look that seemed like he only half believed her.
But then when he looked back at Alex who avoided his gaze, he knew that what she was saying was the truth.
Nobles…that was a wall that no one could overcome in this kingdom.
Because this was a kingdom that was created by and run by nobles, so they were the highest class in this kingdom.
There was no one that could go against nobles without suffering.
That included the Crow Gang.
If it was found that they had hurt a noble, every single one of them would be executed.
So this would be a risky business if they decided to continue with this.
But then a voice said, "I'll take care of him if you take care of the rest."
