Kyle immediately grabbed all of his stuff and fucked right off.
As soon as the big gate of the castle opened, Kyle charged out, carrying his huge wagon above his head.
He jumped out of the city, landed on the sand, and charged towards the south.
Everyone who saw him just looked at him in shock.
Why was this guy running so quickly with a wagon above his head?
Didn't he know that he was supposed to pull the wagon?
That's how a wagon worked.
You pull it.
Was this guy dumb?
As soon as Kyle landed outside the city, he charged forward with even more speed.
Just three seconds later, three people also left the city at quite a speed.
They were all running in the same direction as Kyle, but surprisingly, the three of them were not traveling with each other.
In fact, the three of them looked awkwardly at each other while running south.
Naturally, the three of them were all tasked with following Kyle…
By different people.
So, technically, all three of them did the same thing, but they didn't know each other and didn't work together.
Their actual job was just to gather information on Kyle covertly, but… well…
How was someone supposed to follow such a fast object covertly?
None of them had been prepared for Kyle suddenly charging out of the castle.
According to their estimates, Kyle would have been inside the castle for another month or so. That would be when the new Four-Weapons Guild would be crowned.
They hadn't expected Kyle to just immediately charge out of the city with all of his belongings like there was a nuke about to explode.
The three of them charged after Kyle.
As one of them jumped over a hill, his eyes widened.
Kyle had stopped running and was waiting on the other side of the hill, looking at the guy.
The other two followers, who had charged around the hill, had also noticed.
One of them was acting like he was taking a break near one of the trees because he had developed a sudden interest in birds.
The other one just stopped and took deep breaths, talking to himself about the good air outside.
Meanwhile, Kyle just looked at the first guy.
Then, he gestured for him to approach.
The first guy was unsure how to handle the situation.
He was supposed to keep tabs on Kyle without being noticed, but… well…
"Oh, are you also a friend of travel?" the guy asked, walking over to Kyle.
He felt embarrassed since he knew that nobody would buy this lie.
Meanwhile, Kyle put his hand into a big sack. Then, he pulled his hand out again and held it out to the guy.
The guy's eyes widened as he saw a small hill of Ether Gems in Kyle's hands.
"I'll give you 100 Ether Gems to fuck off," Kyle said.
The guy looked with shock at the Ether Gems.
"I don't know what fuck means, but sure!" he said, pocketing the Ether Gems.
"I went to the Fathoms," Kyle said, throwing the guy a knowing look.
"Ah, yeah! Of course! I mean, why wouldn't you?" the guy asked with several nods.
Then, the guy charged towards the east like he was chasing after someone.
The other two guys sneered in jealousy and disgust.
CRACK!
At that moment, Kyle's wagon broke into two pieces.
In fake shock, Kyle just looked at the two pieces he was holding in his arms.
"Oh no, my wagon broke," Kyle shouted in horror. "How am I supposed to transport all of my goods now?!"
At that moment, Kyle looked at the two inconspicuous people taking breaks around him.
"Excuse me, can you two keep watch over my wagon?" Kyle asked politely. "I'll have to go back and get a replacement, and I'm scared that someone might steal it."
The two of them looked at each other.
The wagon was perfectly broken into two pieces, right down the middle.
Both sides contained half of the cargo, which was just a bunch of valuable ore.
In terms of assets, there were quite a lot of Ether Gems on the wagon.
"I'll keep watch over the wagon," one of them said, approaching the wagon.
"Thank you so much!" Kyle said, putting both halves of the wagon down.
Then, Kyle looked at the other person. "Don't you want to help him? I'll also give you five Ether Gems as payment."
"No, I'm busy," the man said. "Gotta go somewhere."
"Oh, then, good luck. Go ahead," Kyle said.
The two of them looked at each other for a bit.
"Yes, I should," the man said after several seconds.
Then, the man left towards the south.
Naturally, he wouldn't really leave.
He just stopped about two kilometers away and watched Kyle from a distance.
"Hey, you saw him leave on his own, right?" Kyle asked the guy who was going to "watch" his broken wagon.
"Yep," the man said.
"I didn't follow him, right?" Kyle asked.
"You're still here," the man said.
"Alright, thanks," Kyle said with a nod before charging towards the west.
"No problem!" the guy shouted with a smile.
After Kyle left the perception of the wagon guy, he sped up significantly.
His speed rose to almost 1, 000 kilometers per hour as he kept running towards the west.
Some seconds later, Kyle's eyes narrowed.
'Yeah, can't stay hidden when traveling at these speeds, huh?' he thought as he took note of a green blur charging after him from a distance.
'Refusing to take my bribe, eh?'
Suddenly, Kyle turned around.
Then, fire exploded out of his back as Kyle's new and improved Ignition was launched.
Kyle's speed shot through the roof as he charged right at the blur.
The person inside the blur changed his trajectory and moved to the side, but Kyle reached them within just a couple of seconds.
Of course, the person in the blur was the third person who had been following Kyle.
He was an Initial Royal Knight.
"Stop!" the Royal Knight shouted as he noticed Kyle coming closer. "I'm from-"
Kyle immediately attacked.
He was faster than the Royal Knight by quite a bit, which meant the Royal Knight could only block the attack.
And blocking Kyle's hammer was…
Well…
Anyway, after the Royal Knight had been distributed amongst the local flora, Kyle continued running towards the west.
This time, nobody was following him.
