“So, are you going to go for those people?”
“Of course! For those heartless ones, we need to give them punishment! This is not a wrongdoing, but sending down a divine punishment from the heavens! Even Irenettesa would forgive us!”
“Haah……”
Hamil looked at the group that Beta pointed out.
On the surface, it looked like nothing could go wrong.
It was just a noble lady and a young master who came to see the Capital’s Swordsmanship Tournament.
Also, there were only two escorts.
It was a piece of cake.
On the surface, it sure looked that way.
‘…I have a bad feeling about this somehow.’
Hamil rolled his eyes for a quick glance at Beta.
Beta appeared to be fully charged with the hearts for carrying out the score. Her fingers were squirming.
‘Haah, if I told her that I have a bad feeling about this, she will just say a woman’s intuition is better than that of a man and so on and she will get all sassy with me.’
Watching the loving mother and her son, Beta was staring at them with eyes full of desire.
It looked like she could not hold it anymore.
Hamil, as if showing that he was giving in, said,
“…Ok. Let’s do it.”
“That’s how you should be!”
They calmed their breathing, squirmed and checked their fingers by practicing movements, and approached the target carefully past through the streams of people.
Their target was the funds that the group must be carrying.
‘If we fail, we’re going to bounce right away, got it?’
‘I got it.’
The two exchanged gazes.
They had a rendezvous point already chosen in case the attempt failed.
They had prepared for all sorts of possibilities.
Even so, Hamil’s throat felt like it burning.
He really had a bad feeling about this.
‘One, two…’
It was three steps to the front.
Now, the target was right in front of their noses.
Beta chose the young master and the noble lady.
Hamil chose the maid and the butler.
It was in case the maid and the butler had the wallet or other valuables, and it was also to buy Beta some time when she grabs things from the young master and the noble lady.
‘…Three?!’
Hamil, who was counting the numbers in his head, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Before he could even put his hand forward, the butler, who looked so weak that he appeared he might die soon, was instead looking at Hamil with eyes filled with murderous intent.
‘Oh no…we have been found o…’
Hamil was gasping for air. Before he could even finish thinking about the fact that they have been found out, his body was rapidly bent forward by some force.
.bg-ssp-10081{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;} Unlike his upper body, which was bent over because of a blunt pain on his stomach, his mouth was wide open.
“Kuk?!”
One of his eyes was crushed and closed by itself.
With his left eye, which he had barely managed to open, Hamil looked for the cause of the pain.
It was an elbow.
It belonged to the old man wearing a black butler suit.
His elbow was planted on pit of Hamil’s stomach.
“Ugh?!”
Before Hamil could get a hold of himself, he was forced to straighten his back, and his right arm was suddenly pulled up.
It was the old butler, with a violent look on his face, who grabbed Hamil’s arm and pulled it up.
‘Damn!’
Out of desperation, Hamil locked his teeth, and while trying to ignore the pain, he tried to kick.
