"Hmm? Why did you stop the carriage?"
Ember questioned with a frown on her face.
The Escort named Jack, who was sitting with Ember inside the Carriage frowned and knocked on the carriage walls,
"Jerry, why did you stop the carriage?"
"There is a man standing in front of the carriage." The other escort named Jerry, who was driving the carriage answered.
And as if confirming those words,
"Whatever you are carrying is mine! Return what belongs to me back to me!"
Hearing those words, Jerry frowned and looked at the 'Bandit' with a deadpan look on his face,
"You Idiot, at least look at the Cultivation Stage of the man you are trying to rob before making a move…"
Jerry was pretty sure that the bandit would soon panic when he noticed how strong he is and would stop bothering him. He was too bored, however, since he wanted to leave a good impression on Ember, he didn't kill this man right now.
However, contrary to his expression, rather than fear, the Bandit only looked at him as if he was looking at an Idiot and,
"You Idiot, at least look at the Cultivation Stage of the man you are trying to talk big to."
Jerry blinked a few times, then, he narrowed his eyes to check the Bandit's Cultivation and,
"!!!"
Jerry panicked.
He quickly moved from the driving seat and rushed towards Ember.
"General Ember! You have to help us!"
"Huh? You can't even handle a mere Bandit now?"
Ember questioned in a disinterested tone.
Even Jack had a frown on his face, he couldn't understand why Jerry would ask General Ember's help for something so trivial like this, however, Jerry's next words shocked him to his core.
"He is a King Stage Cultivator!"
"WHAT!?"
Jack exclaimed in shock.
"Yes! I am not lying!"
Jack quickly rushed out of his carriage and glanced at the bandit who was looking at them in patience.
"!!!"
Jack's eyes widened in surprise and he quickly turned toward Ember and asked for her help.
"General! You have to help us! He is not an opponent we can defeat ourselves."
"Huh? Aren't you the escorts sent here to protect me and ensure my comfort during my travel? Why should I do your work?"
Ember questioned and the two Escorts were speechless.
"General! This is not the time to pla-"
Jack wanted to complain, however, soon, someone tapped on his shoulders and,
"Excuse me, I think I have been very patient for a while now, can you return what you guys took from me, I am in a bit of a hurry."
The bandit seemed like a gentleman.
"W-We do have anything inside the carriage except for a human. However, if you want money, then you ca-"
Jerry turned around and tried to talk to the bandit, however,
"Huh? Why would I want money? Do you think I lack money? I am not trying to rob you guys, I only want what is already mine.
Now do it while I am asking it politely, or you won't like where this will lead to."
The Bandit threatened.
"B-But w-we don't have anything that belongs to y-you…" Jack stuttered.
The bandit then shook his head and sighed,
"I guess you want to take the hard way."
Saying that, the bandit raised his hands, the escorts tried to defend themselves, however, the Bandit was too fast, his hands appeared on their faces and he pushed them to the side, throwing them to the ground like they are stone statues.
"No! Don't go inside!" Jerry shouted.
However, Jack stopped him and shook his head.
'Let him do what he wants, once the General gets annoyed, she would deal with him herself.'
That was his plan.
There weren't many people who could defeat General Ember in a battle after all.
And as if he had the same thought in his mind, Jerry turned silent and just looked at the scene in front of him with a sly smile on his face.
However, what the two of them saw after that caused their jaws to drop on the ground.
The Bandit, whose half of the body was inside the Carraige moved out with General Ember in his arms, the man then turned towards them and snorted,
"Hmph! You dare lie to me when you were hiding what belongs to me inside this carriage of yours!?
Do you have a Deathwish?"
"…"
The Escorts, however, didn't listen to whatever the bandit said since they were too busy looking at General Ember who was hugging the Bandit like a Koala.
'This… this the Fiery Killer…?'
They wondered in their heads.
The two of them were so shocked that they didn't even notice their impending deaths.
Soon, a Sword appeared in Nux's hand,
Seeing the sword, the two escorts finally came out of their reverie, however, it was already too late.
*Whoosh*
*Thud* *Thud*
A sword slashed and two heads flew into the air.
Before they could even understand what happened, the two escorts were beheaded.
"Tsk Tsk, to think you will kill these two escorts so mercilessly, are you sure that you are just an 18-year-old boy and not a merciless killer?"
Ember questioned with a small smile on her face.
"Trust me, I am only an 18-year-old boy.
A boy who managed to defeat the Fiery Killer and made her his woman."
"Heh," Ember just smiled.
"So… how long are you planning to stay there?"
Thyra, who walked towards the two of them questioned with an extremely jealous face.
Ember looked at Thyra for a while and then,
"Heh."
With a small chuckle, she turned her face away.
Thyra's face twitched in annoyance.
Nux enjoyed their attraction and at the same time, he attacked the carriage with a [Earth Spike] Spell, then burned the ground with Fire spells and started using all the elements around the Area.
Once he was done, he turned towards Thyra and smiled,
"It's time to leave now."
Thyra, who was glaring at Ember, smiled lovingly and nodded.
