Chapter 6 Part 12

"Sigh, is this finally their home base?"

Luke was standing on top of a tree and sighed as he stared out at the enemy base. Although the only damage that had been done to him thus far was from little scratches while moving around in the woods, he had depleted his ki and was exhausted from fighting the bandits. If this was him from the past, this amount of work wouldn't have even fazed him, but the body he was in now was weak all around.

Every time Luke fought and killed his enemy, he had to make sure to count his kills to get the proper reward from the Viscount later. It seemed like this act seemed to be petty in Volkar's perspective. However, Luke shook his head.

"If I don't, then it'll become easy for him to feign innocence. Even more so, since the money that he owes me right now is getting close to 20,000 reb."

Because Luke worked as a mercenary in the past, he knew from experience that he had to make sure that everyone knew how much he was due for. Especially in a situation like now, where he's taking the most active role in the party.

Amongst the nobles, there were quite many of them that would give an adequate amount of money, then call it even by announcing it as a distinguished military service. It was human nature to promise empty promises when they needed something, and then feel that it's a waste once the deed was over or close to being done with.

"I detest getting ripped off with money. If by chance I get ripped off, I'm going to go inside that guy's house, and steal myself some interest before I leave."

As Luke spoke such words, he suddenly found something strange, then furrowed his brows. It was because he had found disparate existences amongst the bandits that were preparing for battle.

"Damn shit heads. They've captured quite a lot of them."

A group of around 20 people, filled with women and children, were currently being dragged out while they were still tied up. It was obvious that the bandits were trying to sell them in order to make a profit.

"And, what's that now?"

Luke had found something surprising amongst the people that were currently being dragged out. Although they were wearing the same shabby attire as the rest of the group, there were 2 that had features that were comparatively different from everyone else.
