Chapter 153: Becoming the public enemy of Serenity Town Part 5
Meanwhile, after seeing that Friedrich is going to take care of whatever caused that shaking on the ground just now, everyone immediately jumps straight to continue fighting with one another.
While Friedrich was taking care of the Molten Lizard, Kayn and Chastine turned their attention to the group that the former had warned them about.
Even the most foolish person in the world would be able to easily guess that they are dangerous criminals by just simply looking at them
Observing them from head to toe; their bodies are covered almost entirely with blood. Not to mention, they don't hesitate to kill immediately anyone who dares to pick a fight with them or get close enough to the range of their weapons. And because no one knows where their allegiance lies, no one hesitates to approach them and engage in combat. In the end, all of them died in their hands, thus dyeing their bodies with their blood. Also, none of them seems to mind the blood covering their bodies, evidently showing that they are used to such a situation.
"I don't like those bunch," Chastine muttered with a voice that only Kayn could hear.
"It's only natural," Kayn stares solemnly. "They are members of the Assembly of Freedom,"
"What? How'd you know?"
"I saw their logo imprinted in the hand of one of their men,"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure. It was a clown tattoo with white wings,"
The clown tattoo is actually the logo of the Circus, and the white wings are the real logo of the Assembly of Freedom. Combining the two logos together means that they are underlings of the Circus.
"Let me see," Chastine still didn't believe it, so she decided to observe the group closely. As a result, she confirmed Kayn's findings. "This is bad. We need to inform Friedrich and the others about this,"
"There's no need," Kayn express his disagreement.
"If we don't tell them, we will be endangering their lives," Chastine insisted.
"I already have what I need. As long as we don't alert them, we can leave this place without engaging in a fight with them,"
It isn't that he is scared to fight against the members of the Assembly of Freedom nor that he doesn't want to get into trouble. He simply wants to get over with what he needed to achieve here and proceed to the next step of his plan. Otherwise, he would be delayed which would likewise delay his other plans as well.
Anyways, he can always take care of the Assembly of Freedom later. After all, there's still a fair amount of time left in his expected duration of stay in 'The Bridge'. It's just that, now he has to rush things because he was delayed by quite some time when he lost consciousness and had no other choice but to rest for a few days.
"After Friedrich takes care of the Molten Lizard, we'll gather everyone and leave," Kayn ended the conversation.
He'll only risk getting discovered by those members of the Assembly of Freedom if he continues to discuss them with Chastine. After all, they aren't deaf to not hear their conversation, and they are also not blind to not see that they are discussing them. As long as one of those people observes them closely, they would know.
Moreover, Chastine and Friedrich had pretty much revealed already to everyone that they are members of the Green Horn Knights. As long as those members of the Assembly of Freedom over there are up to date with the current happenings between their organization and the Green Horn Village, then they will for sure know that they are currently at war with each other.
That means that one wrong move and a prelude to the war to come would certainly take place in this cave.
He doesn't want that to happen, especially since the Molten Magma Core is still in the possession of Natas. If chaos indeed breaks out, he might get separated from the latter and thus further delay his plan.
It didn't take long for Friedrich to return.
"I stored the Molten Lizard in my Storage Ring. I believe that is what you wanted me to do," Friedrich uttered.
"That's right!" Kayn nodded.
"So, how are our friends from the Assembly of Freedom doing?"
"You already knew?!" Chastine felt surprised.
"You didn't?"
"Well, I do now. But before, I didn't have a single clue about it until Kayn pointed out,"
"Anyways," Friedrich looks at Kayn. "Seeing that Molten Lizard, I am guessing that you've already found it?"
"Yes,"
"So, shall we go?"
"Been waiting all this time," Kayn agreed without any hesitation.
Since she has no other choice, Chastine chooses to follow the two.
Without wasting any more time, Kayn left along with Friedrich and Chastine to meet up with the other members of their party.
Before leaving though, Kayn and Friedrich looks at each other and immediately understood what the other was thinking about. They glimpsed behind them for one last time before continuing to walk inside the tunnel.
As soon as their figures disappeared in the shadow of the tunnel, Kayn and Friedrich immediately bolted away while pulling Chastine with them.
"What are you both doing?" Chastine was extremely shocked. But she still tried her best to keep up with their speed. Since she is a healer, she quickly adapted to their speed with her high points in the agility stat. "You both can let go of me now and tell me what exactly is going on,"
Kayn and Friedrich immediately let go of Chastine's hand.
"Everyone was eyeing us," Kayn explained.
Friedrich quickly added. "There are only two reasons for that. Either they are curious about what I did just now or they know we have the Molten Magma Core,"
"Couldn't it just be the former?"
"Regardless of what it is, we have to get away. It's only going to be a matter of time before they start suspecting the reason why we left right after I took care of the Molten Lizard. And on top of that, those people from the Assembly of Freedom have also been observing us for quite some time now. If we have stayed there for any longer, they would no doubt take action on us," Friedrich described. "I don't want to put any of us in danger, especially since we still have to find the others,"
"I understand," Chastine finally understood.
Seeing this, Kayn can't help breathing a sigh of relief. Now their only problem left is to gather everyone and leave as fast as possible.
