Power Master

Why are you here? ’

Myeonghu thought about why John came to see himself for some reason. However, it was not expected.

“I'll stop by the reception first. ”

After all, Myung Hu decided to stop by the reception room before going to jail and talk to the butler who was waiting for his statement.

“Yes.”

In response, the butler turned his steps back to the reception room. Soon after he arrived in the reception room, he could find John thinking clearly with a nervous look on his face.

“Ah, Earl. ”

John, who was thinking of something, woke up from his senses as the weather approached.

“You found me? ”

Myeonghu sat in the chair in front of John and looked at John. John sat back down as he sat down and opened his mouth with a serious face.

“Yes, I have something urgent to say to the Earl. ”

“Tell me.”

“That's...”

John glances at Raffid and the butler standing behind him, blurring his words.

“I'm going out. ”

The butler felt John's gaze and atmosphere, and told Myung Hu.

“Oh, yeah. ”

“Let's go, young master. ”

After Myung Hu nodded and replied, the general went out of the reception room with Laffid. The butler and Rapid leave, leaving the reception room with only two names and John. Myeonghu looked at John and said,

“What is it? ”

“Well, the ducs are starting to move. ”

“...? ”

What do you mean, the ducs are on the move? John gives John a curious look.

Wait a minute.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly and looked at John with a hesitant expression.

“Is the duc the target of the movement... me? ”

At first, I heard the ducs move and didn't think much of it. But when I thought about it for a moment, it was strange. I had nothing to do with John coming to me and saying,

“Yes..”

John nods at a clear question.

“... ”

John's answer was briefly silent. John shuts up and examines his reaction as soon as the manifesto is quiet. Soon after, Myeonghu opened his mouth.

“Who are you?”

“...? ”

John gives a curious look at the sudden posthumous words. After realizing that John didn't understand what he meant, he opened his mouth again.

“Who are the ducs that moved? ”

“Ah.”

John realized the meaning of the words after the following sentence, expressing his elasticity briefly. And then he said,

“The Duke of Ladun and the Duke of Hidden. ”

“... Really? ”

I nodded as if he knew.

“Purpose?"

Although he nodded, of course, he had no knowledge of the two ducs, and asked John again the purpose of the two ducs.

“I didn't understand the exact purpose. However... The Duke of Laden is only getting information about you from the nobles around him, so I don't think you need to worry about him just yet. The problem is the Duke of Hidden. ”

After saying that, John looked around and looked back at the explanations.

“Under Duke Hidden there is a guild of assassins of our level. According to our research, most of the top assassins in the area came into Asren. Of course, he may be the Earl, but... if he finds out it's impossible, he's likely to go after your people, not yours. ”

“... Hmm. ”

In John's words, he sobbed.

Wait a minute.

Then I suddenly thought, he frowned slightly.

Those spies in prison, they can't be...

At the present time, the prison of the mansion was overwhelmed by the spies that Laffith had captured. I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that the spies that Rapid has captured are John's assassins.

“Do you...”

“Yes.”

“Can you identify these assassins? ”

“Yes?”

John reacted with a look on his face as to what that meant.

“So I caught some of the guys hiding in the mansion this time, and I put them in jail, just in case they're the assassins you mentioned. ”

“Ah! Not all of them...”

John's words blurred the end. He thought of something for a moment, then smiled and continued.

“You can recognize a few of them. ”

John opened his mouth to say, "Let's go together."

“Then let's...”

It was just then.

Boom!

- Ugh!

Outside the reception hall, you hear someone screaming.

“... ”

After stopping what he was going to say, he looked at the door. It was the same with John. For a moment, I started to feel static.

Swook

After a while, Jeong and John stood up and walked to the door as if they had promised. Soon after arriving at the door, the door opened.

“... ”

After opening the door, I couldn't say anything to the view. Outside the reception room stood Rapid and the butler. The problem was that they were not the only two.

“Hehe.”

“Khh... ugh...”

In front of Rapid, smiling single-handedly, a man falls down, groaning in agony.

“Muster...”

“Well, he's...”

After trying to summon the butler to ask him what was going on, he silenced John's voice as he listened to him. Seeing the reaction, John seemed to know the man who had fallen.

“Do you know him? ”

Enlightenment asked.

“Oh, well...”

John looked at the man with an unbelievable look on his face.

“He's the leader of the assassins who came to Asren this time. ”

“... Really? ”

He turned his gaze away from John and looked at the fallen man. And he smiles at Rapid, smiling in front of him.

John, meanwhile, mutters, looking at the man who fell with an unbelievable face.

“How the hell did he...”

John knew the man. I knew too well. So I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Swook

John, who was looking at the man, soon turned his gaze and thought to the butler.

‘... what are you? ’

At first, I didn't even care. I thought I could see her everywhere. But not now.

"No scars... how good are you?" ’

There were no injuries on the butler's body. A man could not have been so easily beaten. Judging by his skills, he was no less than one, or two, than himself. John looked embarrassed, turned his gaze away from the butler and continued to look at Rapid.

‘I don't need to put it on. ’

John's intention was to keep his guild members from getting hurt by the assassins around him, especially Raffid, son of Nam Hu. However, the butler looked like he didn't have to stick to it. It seemed to be an obstacle to putting it on. John turned his gaze again and looked at the bright side.

Overwhelmed

With a smile on his face, he approached Rapid.

“Hehe.”

Rapid smiles, his head pushing in as if to stroke his head as the weather approaches.

Swook

In his actions, he stroked Raffid's head with a bloody smile. Then he looked at the butler and said,

“How many of those Rapids did you catch?" ”

Thinking about it, I only heard that there were spies in prison. I didn't hear the number. The butler who hesitated to ask questions quickly opened his mouth and replied.

“Nine. Now, that's 10, including interest. ”

“I see.”

He nodded as if he knew. Then the butler continued.

“Are you finished? ”

“Oh, yeah. I'll be right there. ”

In response to the butler's words, Myeonghu turned his head to look at John.

“Like now...”

After trying to tell John to go to prison together, he saw John's face and had to stop talking. John was making a very serious face.

“...? ”

Myeonghu looked at John with a curious expression.

"What's wrong with him? ’

Even when he saw the man on the ground, John did not look as serious as he is now. But for a moment, I wondered what made him look so serious.

“What's the matter? ”

“Oh...”

John, who was making a serious face, looked back and said, puzzled.

“I thought I heard it wrong, but this guy and the people hiding in the mansion...”

John glances at Rapid, blurring his words. Laffid yells with a big smile.

“Me! Me! I got him. Heh heh. ”

“... ”

John says nothing at the cry of Rapid. You stare at Rapid with a blank expression.
