Irina and Eiffie were drinking tea when Mag returned to the tavern.

  “Ah…… You’re back.”


  Mag felt a little guilty, but the ambiance between the two people sitting across from each other seemed better than he had anticipated.

  “Did you find the person?” Irina asked.

  It seemed like Eiffie had already explained last night’s incident to Irina.

  Mag shook his head, and said, “No. The other party is very cunning. I got the location, but there was no one there. There should be someone keeping watch. They would only appear when Miss Eiffie shows up.”


  “Did Mr. Hades go to look for the perpetrator alone?” Eiffie was slightly taken aback. She thought Mag had only gone to give his statement at the court in the morning.

  “Yes. To find the perpetrator hiding behind the scene, we need to put on a show. Miss Eiffie, you will have to come with me to lure the person out.” Mag nodded.

  “But…… will it be too dangerous?” Eiffie was a little worried. She didn’t want Mr. Hades and his family to put themselves at risk for her again. “It’s fine. I’m going too.” Irina put down her teacup with a cold expression, and said, “I despise a**holes who attack women the most.”


  Eiffie looked at the righteous Irina, and felt touched and ashamed at the same time.

  Irina was seeking justice for her, yet Eiffie was lusting after her husband. She was really too cheap. “I’m going too! I’m going too!” Amy quickly put up her hand and took part with enthusiasm.

  “Alright. You guys prepare yourselves while I go get a horse-drawn carriage. We’ll leave from the backyard later.” Mag nodded and whispered to Irina before leaving through the back door.

  Soon after, a worn-out horse-drawn carriage stopped at the Saipan Tavern’s backyard for a moment before slowly driving away, and heading to the west of the city. Eiffie sat in the carriage. Looking at Irina and Amy sitting across from her, she asked, “Do we need to inform the court? Will it be dangerous if we go there?”


  Amy nodded, and said, “It’s really dangerous for the bad guys if we go there.”


  “I’ve already informed the court. They should be arriving soon to arrest the thugs, and this issue will be considered over,” Mag answered outside the carriage.

  “That will be good.” Eiffie heaved a breath of relief slightly.

  The carriage soon reached the west of the city. It drove into a deserted alley among mud buildings, and stopped at the end of the alley.

  Mag, who had put on a disguise, went into the cabin, and came out with Eiffie, who was tied up. He kicked open the wooden door and walked in.

  Mag searched for a house that was still rather intact, and put Eiffie down. He found a worn-out chair from the corner, and let her sit down. He said in a low voice, “We may have to wait for a while, but don’t worry, Miss Eiffie. I’ll protect you.”


  “Yes.”


  Eiffie twisted her body, which was completely bundled up awkwardly. She blushed a little, and was a little excited for no reason?

  Mag flicked a glance at Eiffie, who was tied up in the tortoise shell bondage, and his eyelids twitched. He wondered where Irina learned it from……

  Speaking about it……

  It really looked quite good.

  “What if no one comes?” Eiffie asked.

  “The other party’s number one target is you. He wouldn’t have gone through so much effort if he had not wanted to come.” Mag shook his head with a smile, and seriously instructed Eiffie, “However, Miss Eiffie, you must use the words I taught you earlier to handle the people from the court when they arrive later.”


  “Yes. I remember it. I will not get you and your family involved, Mr. Hades.” Eiffie nodded gravely.

  “Alright. Let’s wait here for a while and see who’s the person behind all this.” Mag also stopped talking, and watched from the side quietly. “Boss, they’re here.” In a wooden three-story building’s attic not far away from the mud houses’ alley, a man in a black robe spoke to a figure standing near the window.

  “The woman?” That person spoke up.

  “She’s here too.”


  “Go bring her over. You know what to do if it’s a trap, right?” that man said in a low voice.

  A conflicted expression appeared on the man’s face, but he still took out a pill, and put it into his mouth.

  “Go,” that man instructed.

  The man in black robe went downstairs and left.

  The person in front of the window turned around slowly. It was the boss of Reese Tavern, Boris.

  ***

  Mag and Eiffie didn’t wait for too long. Five men in black robes went into the dilapidated yard, and went straight for the house that Mag and Eiffie were in.

  Eiffie had a panicked look, and she instinctively looked up at Mag standing at the side.

  The leading man in black robe looked at Eiffie, who was tied up, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He lifted his hand at Mag, and tossed a black money bag over. He said in a grave voice, “The remaining 250,000 copper coins of the payment. You may leave now.” Mag weighed the money bag in his hands before attaching it to his waist, but he was still standing there, and smilingly said to that man in black robe, “I’m very curious. Who is the person that is willing to spend so much money to abduct this woman?”


  “Rules of the black market. Just take the money and do the job. Don’t ask so many questions,” the man in black robe shouted coldly. He looked at Mag with an unfriendly gaze. “Don’t regret it if you want to spoil the rules of the black market.”


  The other four black-robed men grasped the weapons at their waists and slowly gathered around Mag.

  “Rules?” Mag laughed and kicked off the floor. A giant ax flew up and landed on his hand. “I always follow the rules. No one can touch my people. That’s my rule.”


  “Get rid of him, and this 250,000 will belong to us.”


  The man in black robe waved his hand, and the other four of them drew their weapons and dashed towards Mag.

  Mag raised his eyebrows. This scene was equivalent to a bunch of noobs rushing towards a king. It was admirable.

  So, he used the ax, and dispatched this group of 3rd-tier and 4th-tier knights. “This……”


  The eyes of the leading man in black robe widened when he saw that. He took out three light yellow balls, and threw them on the ground before running out.

  Three thunder balls exploded on the floor, and a few puffs of smoke rose up.

  That black-robed man got out of the house in the blink of an eye.

  He bumped into a big guy over two meters tall at the door.

  The man in black robe was alarmed, but his reflexes were still fast. He swung his longsword, and cut off the giant guy’s arm.

  “Hm?”


  The man in black robe was stunned. He didn’t expect himself to be so valorous.

  However, although the big guy lost an arm, he still pounced over heroically.

  The man in black robe quickly swung his sword again, and sliced off the other arm of the big guy. He also gave him a stab at the heart before kicking him over.

  “Ptui!”


  The man in black robe spat. This was the most enjoyable battle in his life!

  “Did you get the thrill of combat?” A voice spoke up at the side.

  The man in black robe was about to nod when he went white. He saw the giant ax that came right into his face as soon as he turned around.

  He was cut into two by the ax. It was so cruel that Mag didn’t even dare to turn and look.
