Chapter 49 The Guard
Gale looked at the mature man and said."So, this guy is one of the guards who watches the Treasury."
[ Treasury's Guard - 1 (First Stage Foundation Establishment Realm): An Average Guy that no one cares about ]
"But why is he drinking so early in the morning? Doesn't he have to be clear-headed to watch the Treasury?" Gale raised his eyebrows as he saw the man gulp down another glass of beer.
"Yeah, they have to." Niloy sighed. "However, they are not allowed to go anywhere except when they have to eat. So they drown themselves in alcohol."
As Niloy said, the man stood up and looked like he was a bit tipsy. With his clumsy feet, he walked toward the Burnheart family's compound.
Just after the man walked out, Niloy and Gale followed behind him.
The man with his drowsy eyes was seeing everything blurry. Still, he was able to feel the festive atmosphere in the air. He stuttered. "Is it that time of year again? I haaate it ssooo much. Those guys don't give me a day off!!"
The man cursed and walked toward his destination. Despite his unusual behavior, no one seems to care about him. Everyone did their own thing.
Niloy and Gale, who were following behind him, became a little worried because of the heavy crowd.
Niloy expressed his worries. "It is going to be hard to take him out, even in the corner."
Gale rubbed his chin and then told Niloy about how they could avoid getting spotted.
Niloy listened to Gale's plan and doubted if he heard it right.
"Oi, you are a smart guy. Why are you doubting my safe and sound plan?" Gale patted his shoulder and pushed him forward.
Niloy knew he could do nothing but bite the bullet. He quickly came beside that man and put his arm around his shoulder.
The man instantly became cautious and asked. "Who are you? How dare you touch me?"
The man tried to shove Niloy's hand away but couldn't.
Niloy strongly grabbed his neck and laughed out loud. "Haha, Have you forgotten about me? I am your best friend."
Despite being drunk, the man knew something was going on. He asked. "I have no friend. I advise you not to do anything bad. I am a special person in the Burnheart Family."
"I know, I know," Niloy said, strongly thumping his chest and stomach area. "You are just drunk. After you become sober, you will remember me."
The man wanted to say something but couldn't as he felt something seem to come out of his stomach. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄e𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺
"Ayee, not here, buddy. Let me quickly take you away." Niloy quickly pulled him to a dark alleyway where there was no one to be seen.
The pedestrians, after seeing the man cover his mouth and clutch his stomach, knew that he was about to puke. So, everyone distanced themselves from them and increased their walking speed.
Going into the alley, the man quickly wanted to sit beside the walls to puke, but Niloy didn't let him do that. He pulled him further in.
The man panicked and wanted to mumble when suddenly.
Bam!
Something hit the back of this man and knocked him unconscious.
Niloy let go of the man, making him slump down on the ground. From the man's mouth, puke came out, and from the back of his head, blood leaked out.
Niloy turned back and saw Gale holding his spear upside down. From the head of the spear's shaft, blood was dripping down.
Niloy looked down and asked Gale."Hey, did you perhaps kill this guy?"
He was very worried, as this man seemed like a good guy who was just suffering from his job.
Gale swiped his spear to the right, which made the blood fling out of its body. He then quickly put it back in his storage space and said."No, I am not that cruel. I used the right amount of strength to not explode his head."
"You are crazy." Niloy was speechless.
"Quickly pick him up. We will have to hide him somewhere else." Gale said as he looked at the windows up on the walls.
After spreading his senses, he found an empty room.
"Come," Gale ordered Niloy, who then jumped on the ledge of a certain window.
Niloy looked at the man with disgust, but he still obeyed Gale's order and picked up the man.
Gale opened the window forcefully, despite it being reinforced by an array. After he entered, Niloy followed behind.
Niloy quickly asked as he didn't want to hold him any longer."Where should I put him?"
"Just put him under the bed." Gale shrugged his shoulders and then came before the window again.
"But…" Niloy was about to say that might not be enough, but Gale had already left.
"Huh~" Niloy sighed helplessly, then tugged the man under the bed and left the room to follow Gale.
Just after they left, a young couple entered the room. The moment they entered, they started kissing each other.
From their clothes, it looked like they were disciples of the White Jade Sect and outer disciples at that.
They started undressing each other and got on the bed. However, under the heat, they didn't know someone was under their bed.
…
Meanwhile, on the road that leads to the central arena.
Many carriages could be seen heading toward the central arena. On one of the carriages, Kaley and 'Lenny' were sitting with each other. On the other side of them was Galibar.
Galibar laughed as he said to 'Lenny'. "Son-in-law, today you will see the prodigies of our clan."
"Oh," Lenny said softly but with curiosity in it and didn't speak much.
"But no matter what. No one is stronger than Lenny." Kaley said as she hugged his arms.
'Lenny' glanced at Kaley and thought with smugness. 'Hmph, unlucky for you. This is not your fiancé.'
This one was none other than Jasmine. Gale told her to go to the event, disguising himself as him. It would eliminate any kind of suspicion against him.
