Chapter 203: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 6
After five minutes, Kayn left the alley with more information about the Assembly of Freedom. Behind him were those people who thought that he was an easy target.
"Idiots," Natas can't help muttering as he glimpses at his back. No matter where one would go, there would always be a ragtag group of people who thinks with their first instead of their head. If he was in their shoes, he would choose to report his finding instead of going after the target, especially considering that he has no information or clue about who he is up against.
"No need to say that. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't know the exact location of some of the Executives of the Assembly of Freedom," Kayn smiled.
Turns out those people were of a considerably high rank in the Assembly of Freedom. They were inside the tavern exactly for people like him as they believe anyone who asks for information about their organization could only be the people from Old Mayor George's side.
Unfortunately for them, they picked a fight with the wrong man.
In the end, after torturing them with the best method he knows, they coughed out the coordinates of their Executives. In total, he got two locations. One was to spare them from the torture, and the other was to spare their lives.
Of course, there's another reason why he spared them.
"I'll stay here and follow them once they are awake to find more information, while you go and do your own thing," Natas bid farewell to Kayn "Happy hunting!"
Kayn left with a mischievous smile on his face.
Later in the afternoon, multiple reports of places being burned down to the ground spread all over the Daze Village. The cause of the fire remained unknown, but what people were told or heard about was that those structures belong to the Assembly of Freedom and the reason they were destroyed is that a war is about to begin.
Every single resident of the Daze Village can't help starting to worry about it to the point that the Chief has to gather everyone out in the plaza to assure them that it wouldn't affect their Village explaining that the war would most likely take place inside the Slumbering Forest.
It was at this moment that a dagger flew straight to the head of the Chief of the Daze Village.
The man was unable to react in time as the dagger penetrated deep into his brain. His body dropped down from the podium with eyes still wide open.
In an instant, every resident that was gathered in the plaza broke out in panic as they started running everywhere.
Unlike the residents though, Kayn's group and the members of the Assembly of Freedom who were also present in the plaza stood their ground.
In the next moment, a fight broke out which ended with everyone from the Assembly of Freedom dying gruesome deaths.
"How many have we killed and destroyed?" Kayn asked Gilbert.
"We've killed 127 of their men, 3 were Executives and destroyed 12 of their bases," Gilbert reported.
The Chief they've killed just now was one of the Executives of the Assembly of Freedom.
This means to say that the Daze Village is the territory of the Assembly of Freedom, which finally explains the reason why it took some time for the Herald Guild to find out that they've already entered the Slumbering Forest.
"I should have thought of that," Jericho sighs as he approaches the Chief to check if the latter was really dead or not.
After making sure that the Chief of the Daze Village was dead, everyone quickly left. They each went in different directions as they have their respective targets to kill.
Kayn's next target was another Executive of the Assembly of Freedom who is currently pretending to be one of the librarians in the library.
Before going inside the library though, he first has to change his clothes to fit appropriately with the environment.
Kayn stopped near a boutique and bought some clothes that makes him look like a scholar. He uses their changing room to change as it was convenient this way.
He exited the boutique dressed in a white polo shirt combined with black trousers and a set of black leather boots. His hair was also properly combed to the back, giving him a scholarly vibe around him.
The library wasn't far from the boutique, just across the street. So, he didn't have to walk that far.
Upon entering the library, he instantly senses that the atmosphere of the place is quite tense. It is definitely strange since this kind of place usually gives a cold and silent ambiance.
After looking around for a bit, Kayn finally found the librarian's counter. He approached the counter and saw a man manning the booth.
"Do you need help in looking for a book?"
"Actually, no, I am looking for someone,"
"May I know who it is?"
"Yes, his name is Cade,"
"You mean one of our librarians, sir Cade?"
"That's the one,"
"I think he is upstairs, near the window,"
"Okay. And by the way," Kayn waves his hand, immediately taking out a dagger from his Storage Ring. "You should work better on your acting,"
Whoosh!
The man was immediately killed.
Kayn immediately jumped to the other side of the desk and laid the man in an inconspicuous corner.
He jumped to return to his original place and after dusting himself, he looks around his surrounding to make sure no one spotted him.
"What was I thinking," Kayn shook his head. A library barely has anyone, at least most of the time. "Now, I should look for Natas,"
His action just now confirmed that the library is a den full of members from the Assembly of Freedom. Of course, it is still possible for innocent people to be here, but he's not hoping for that considering that it is a mess outside right now.
This also means to say that anyone who enters the library at this time would immediately be labeled suspicious. So, he has to get his act together and pick a book to read.
There were countless bookshelves around this library. So, as he looks for a book to read, he consequently looks for anyone present.
Every time he finds one, he approaches for help with something. And the instant he confirms they are members of the Assembly of Freedom, he kills them on the spot before quickly hiding their bodies in a corner.
