Volume 5 Chapter 70: WHY ARE YOU HERE?!
<span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:400">Volume 5 Chapter 70: WHY ARE YOU HERE?!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Alfia''s expression froze. However, her expression quickly changed the next second, remembering Keith''s words. There were people watching us?
<span style="font-weight:400">"We can talk when we''re like this. The assassins can''t hear us," The people monitoring them were far enough to not hear them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How do you know?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"When you were following me into the forest, I used mana detection to check if you were still there. When I did that, I sensed those people entering as well." He thought they were adventurers like him. However, when he used it again, he noticed they were sticking close to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">That meant they were following them.
<span style="font-weight:400">Alfia frowned, "Do you know how many there are?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I detected around 15." That was the minimum. There could be more.
<span style="font-weight:400">That many? Alfia didn''t think there would be so many around. However, looking at Keith''s calm expression, it was true. Things were about to get hectic.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do we do?" "You return to the city. I will deal with them,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Those guys are probably after me." Keith could tell. Alfia definitely didn''t have anything to do with this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nonsense. How do you know they''re not after me? I''m a princess!" She was from high nobility. There was reason to believe they would be after her as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No. Some were following me way before you," Keith had a hunch. He always felt something was stabbing his back. This urred thest few days. However, he thought it was just him being pessimistic. Nothing happened to his cart during those days.
<span style="font-weight:400">But now, he was sure he was wrong.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But I can''t leave you here," There were 15 of them. Can Keith really take them down?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Rx, I got this," Keith cracked his knuckles.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, I''m staying." Stop trying to lie. This was very different from his fight with Todd and those people; these guys were sneaky. What was more, Keith was sweating.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Go,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"No!" Alfia shook her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you this stubborn," "Because I am."
<span style="font-weight:400">"You-" Keith''s eyes twitched, wanting to say something else. Keep cool. I need to calm down. It was not a situation where he could afford to lose his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then listen to my n closely. Follow it to a tee," "Understood."
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith and Alfia split up from one another. The two went their opposite way. After walking quite a distance,
<span style="font-weight:400">"You cane out now!" Keith called out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you think I wouldn''t notice you guys?" When Keith said this, something shot at him! Keith quickly sidestepped away; that was when a few shadows came down!
<span style="font-weight:400">All of them were dressed in ck clothing. I was off by 7. There were at least 22 surrounding him. These assassins didn''t hesitate as they charged at Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, thetter wasn''t going to let them circle him. He dashed at the closest one, swinging his sword. However, two assassins intercepted it, blocking his blow.
<span style="font-weight:400">Damn! Keith was pushed back. This is annoying. He was entrapped in a circle.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can''t you guys give me a break?" A light chuckle came out of Keith''s mouth. The assassins didn''t answer as they continued their assault! However, Keith blocked the swords.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thank goodness Michael trained me so crazily. Michael had the knights surround him and attack him. However,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ngh!" Keith looked down at his shoulder and saw an arrow.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tch!" Keith swung his sword again, slicing another arrow in half. And the assassins took that gap!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tch!" Little by little, Keith was etched with wounds. Although he took out three, that was not enough. Defeating them didn''t help his situation.
<span style="font-weight:400">These guys wouldn''t let him do any summons or magic. They weren''t giving him time or space to do anything. One assassin tried to swing his sword down on him. However,
<span style="font-weight:400">Boom!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You ass! You tried to send me away!" Alfia roared!
<span style="font-weight:400">"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because I didn''t trust you!" Keith had given her the wrong instructions. She was supposed to wait on the east side while Keith led the assassins over to her. She would bomb them with magic.
<span style="font-weight:400">But this man did none of that! He decided to lead them away!
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''re going to have a talk about thister!" Alfia screamed!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why is she here?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Do these people know about Alfia? Either way,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tch!" Keith kicked one of the guys away. Having Alfia here destroyed their n. He had to take the chance!
<span style="font-weight:400">It was a life-and-death struggle.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith fired his lightning, zapping three of them! And the assassins started to dwindle.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hold them here until the otherse!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Are you kidding me?! There were more of these guys?! Then he can''t give them a chance. Gotta summon Diana! However,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alfia! Watch out!" Keith quickly jumped and blocked the sword with his body!
