"With Angus' identity, I doubt this is His Majesty doing. Moreover, there is no way Angus will get arrested for a simple reason. Even if he murders someone, no one will care about it unless it is someone important. However, Angus is not crazy enough to do this."
"Besides, there is no way King Leon will send the Extermination Squad to catch him. His Majesty should know about brother's skills. Unless King Leon or Uncle Jade move, I don't think anyone could catch him easily."
"That left with another person who is influential enough to meddle with the Extermination Squad. This person may not know about brother's relationship with the King and his true skill." analyzed Jason.
Jason knows precisely the habit of his youngest brother. Although he seems to always be rash and making trouble lately, his peace-loving nature is still the same. If he could hide behind the others and not show his actual skill, he would definitely do it.
Unlike the other nobles who like to show off, Angus prefers to stay low in front of others unless someone deliberately provokes him. Using all these small clues, Jason is sure the other party should be someone from the noble family.
'Because of the lack of communication, most people still didn't know about Angus' true power, which he has shown in front of many people in the Windshire Fort. This makes the other party someone who is not too high rank but also not low.' thought Jason.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Whoever it is, I will make them regret messing with our family. Pavlon, please send this letter to Count Flamewaver." said Jason before giving a letter to the Head Butler.
"Certainly, sir." replied Pavlon, who suddenly appeared in front of Jason before leaving the room again.
Meanwhile, Angus is walking inside the capital city leisurely without any worry. As Jason predicted, with Angus' current power, he didn't need to worry about his safety.
Even with the whole Extermination Squad surrounding him, he could easily escape without even using any teleportation skill. Usually, he will not do this and decide to stay low.
Since the other party keeps provoking him, even involving the Extermination Squad, he decides to entertain everyone.
After walking for a while, Angus finally reached his destination. In front of him is a huge building surrounded by a rocky wall. Near the gate is a banner with a burning spear emblem on it. This is the base of the Extermination Squad.
It is one of the most secure places in the capital city besides the Research Center and Royal Palace. Despite being the enforcer squad base, the atmosphere and the surrounding atmosphere are heavy.
No single passerby is near this base even though it is located in a dense, populated Capital City. As a matter of fact, the Extermination Squad is not only feared by nobles but also by ordinary civilians.
The Extermination Squad's main job is to catch and kill all the possible threats from the outside kingdom, such as spies and radical religious groups.
Hence, they are often forced to drag suspicious ordinary civilians to get interrogated. It could be said they have a terrible reputation in the eyes of civilians compared to other squads.
Noticing the approaching Angus, "Hold! This is a restricted area. State your business or go back to where you come from." warned the guards near the base entrance.
"As expected, even the guard in this place is very strict. Alright, let's start the play." said Angus while walking without stopping.
Hearing this, the two guards immediately charged Angus as they thought Angus had bad intentions. Despite only being watchmen, the two guards are actually veterans of the Extermination Squad. They know the nature of their squad and the importance inside this base.
Whenever they find someone suspicious, they will not hesitate to use lethal force, even without warning to the other party. Seeing the two guards approaching them, Angus moved his hand like dancing while dodging the two guards.
Unbeknown to the two guards, some people hiding in the shadow noticed Angus's secret code movement and retracted their aura back into the shadow.
The two guards were surprised that the young man could dodge them easily and turn more serious. *BOOOO* The two guards immediately take out the warhorn and blow it without hesitation.
Angus wasn't surprised and still calmly gestured for the two guards to come at him. *Whoosh* *BAMM* At this moment, a few people jumped out from the entrance.
"What happened here?" asked a man with authority.
"Suspicious person trying to break in!!" replied one of the guards before charging at Angus.
Same as before, Angus dodged the guards without trouble despite the guards using some fast movement skills. Seeing this, he knows the young man is not an ordinary person.
"Who are you?! What did you want?" asked the man who seemed to be the leader.
"I don't know. Isn't it your job to find it out?" retorted Angus playfully while dodging the guards.
"Hmph!! Code 2! Order Code 2!!" shouted the leader.
*Teng* *Teng* *Teng* As soon as the nearby watchmen heard the leader, a series of alarms with certain intervals were heard all over the base. The whole base is immediately in a state of alert. Angus could feel more people coming to their location.
"Hoo… That's good. An order with a secret code and not call everyone in the base. It will be a good precaution in case I am just a distraction." commented Angus while dodging the other guards leisurely.
Suddenly, the leader charged at Angus and brandished his fiery fist [Flame Strike].
"Good strength. But, not enough [Yin-Yang Balancing]." muttered Angus before deflecting the leader's [Flame Strike].
The leader feels his body magically losing its balance. Before he knows it, he is already thrown away at the closed entrance gate. *Bang*
"Bastard!!" cursed nearby guards.
"Stop moving around!!" cursed another guard.
During this moment, some guards shoot a few flaming spears at Angus [2nd Circle - Flame Spear]. They no longer care if Agnus will be captured alive or not. All they want to do is stop Angus from creating this mess.
Unfortunately, Angus didn't have any intention to stop using a little bit of [Firecast]. Angus grabs the incoming Flame Spear and imbues it with his own fire mana before shooting it at the base. *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*
The whole base shook from this attack. Fortunately, the base wall is enchanted and reinforced with various barrier spells. Otherwise, it will be destroyed by Angus' 'attack'.
"Good. It's quite sturdy." said Angus before walking through the entrance.
"Stop!!" shouted the guards.
In a few minutes, more people started to come out from the base and surround Angus. Some high-grade knight charging at Angus is thrown away like the previous guard leader, while the other couldn't touch him even surrounded by many Extermination Knights.
"Stop!! Everyone, hold your position!!" ordered someone from inside the base.
Hearing the order, the extermination squad stops attacking Angus and stands nearby. It is clear that this person is the one in charge of this place.
"Baron Victory, what's the meaning of this?!" asked the person angrily.
This person clearly recognizes Angus' identity.
"Are you the person in charge here?" asked Angus.
"Yes. My name is Aldo, captain of this base. Now, you better give me a good reason for not keeping you in the dungeon." replied the leader of this base.
"Ohh… Simple. I just want to know if you are the one that made this warrant order?" asked Angus before taking out a piece of paper.
This paper is the warrant order that Angus steals when dodging the Extermination Squad in his manor.
Seeing the warrant order, "W-Where did you get that?!" asked Captain Aldo nervously.
As the captain of the Extermination Squad, he could quickly notice which was a fake warrant order and which was the real one. He knows the warrant order in front of him is real, but the one that makes him nervous is the identity of the smiling young man in front of him.
As someone staying in the capital city, he knows how rotten the noble circle is. Sometimes, they even use their hands to bring down others, like in Angus' case.
Still, Captain Aldo also knows not everyone could create this sudden intrusion without alarming the high power inside the capital city. He knows a dozen shadow squads and hiding knights are near this base.
Since the hidden force nearby didn't move, they are 'ordered' to not make a move to Angus. This is also why he didn't immediately fight with Angus and try to talk with him.
Captain Aldo known as someone who could easily order those hidden forces at least need a very high rank in the kingdom. It could be said their rank and authority are comparable to the hidden Duke/Duchess.
A person like this definitely has law immunity and couldn't just easily be caught by the Extermination Squad without His Majesty's permission. Since he never got any order from the king and didn't know anything about the warrant, it means this is his negligence.
The Extermination Squad is famous for its strictness and cruelty towards spies and criminals. But, they are even cruel towards their own members who make mistakes. The higher the rank, the more harsh the punishment.
