Lust, like Vengeance, Demands Red 16 At an arms each, Too far away.

"Young lady called?" ZHun Xuying saw Zhi Rui wearing total black pants and longsleeved shirt, She got anxious. She knows the day of the action came earlier than expected will she be disposed as a used piece? What if she dies a useless death? She never fought like a cultivator before.

Zhi Rui saw her inner struggle and laughed,"No need to think too much. Your job will be to collect and transport, Nothing more.

It was already six in the evening. Zhi Rui didn't instruct this newbie in any way, just sent her to her own preparations. they'll be leaving in half.

Zhi Rui herself is a newbie to cultivation, but with years of self-taught experience, she won't freeze when blood is spilled, and won't hesitate to attack when a gap is exposed. as for Zhun Xuying, there's no need to worry if she wasn't vicious than she would've died before reaching adulthood in the slums.

After half an hour Zhun Xuying appeared at the entrance of the manor with a medium size carriage. nervous and anxious Zhu Xuying took a heavy armor from the manor and brought it on a small chest together with other small traps and swords. 'It pays to be cautious' She kept repeating on her head.

'Everything will begin with today, nothing can go wrong.'

Zhi Rui entered the carriage revising every step of the plan.

-------------

Eight in the night, the black market just opened, some mercenaries and nobles representatives went directly to the fifth street, the one isolated only for slave trading. The slaves that didn't cultivate stood naked without any kind of chains, there was a variety of slaves but the most common were still humans, these were the common trade even small business came to buy them.

Rank one master kept an eye on them at all times, rank two cultivators stayed seated at the stands negotiating and selling, while Rank three stood with the slave trader, they rarely appeared.

A middle-aged man with a scar in his eyes and red armor entered the tents talked to the rank 2 clerks and went out for other tents.

"Sir, I'm afraid it's useless to look for lower prices, while there are different owners through the street, there's an understanding between them."

The man didn't bother to answer keeping on his way, he did the same thing with all the tents inside the street. When he reached the last tent. He also reached the end of the street, there was an exit from where the merchants moved their merchandise.

The scar-faced man withdrew into a dark corner and disappeared. No one saw where he went.

Hilda was on the roof of a tent holding the scar-faced man mask, she took the red armor off an threw it on the side alley.

'The owners of these tents usually gather at the black market's brothel with the Rank three-master. When they come to action, the show will açready be over.' She thought to look at the rank one guards looking for her disguised self on the crowd.

'Just like she said, without rank three masters, I can spread these small runes anywhere and no one would notice.'

Hilda remembered Zhi Rui's expression when they met twenty minutes ago.

Pure excitement. People who see her might think she's going dig up a treasure.

------------

Izaya was watching the slaves by the end of the road. earlier he received a warning about a suspicious scar-faced man. Izaya didn't care he only had eyes for the woman standing in front of the tent, she had a body of a human woman but her ears and tail gave away her true nature, a hybrid. She's the result of his irresponsibility with a human woman. He wanted to grab her and take her out of this place, but even with his innate strength. He couldn't run away.

Izaya committed heinous crimes for the information of his daughter's whereabouts, but even when he found her today. he could only wait for an opportunity

His face is on the wanted poster's around the kingdom so he had to enter with another name and change his appearance, to be contracted as a guard here, fortunately, his daughter did not recognize him.

Izaya felt a weird wind current and looked at the sky, a shadow went over the walls of the market. Out of the corner of his eyes he couth the sight of a small square paper. looking around the floor were full of those.

His animalistic instincts kicked in

"PROTECT THE MERCHANDISE!" He jumped towards his daughter screaming.

The moment his voice ceased. Every piece of paper on the ground ignited in a chain reaction, burning everything in a two-meter diameter from every paper.

Except for the place around where common the slaves stood. Everything else was on fire, but these slaves didn't even form an inner core, just the smoke is enough to kill them if exposed for a long time.

Izaya screamed at the tops o his lungs,

"ALL SLAVES IMMEDIATELY RUN THROUGH THE CARGO EXIT, RANK ONE MASTER SCOLT THE WAY FOR THEM! RANK TWO MASTERS WATCH OUT FOR INTRUDERS!"

Izaya holds his clueless daughter tight and ran ahead, but the scene of a rank one guard receiving an arrow to his head stopped him.

Izaya clenched his teeth and let go of his daughter, gave her a knife and said: "Go outside and wait for me."

The girl didn't have time to answer before the crowd separated them.

With nobody holding him back Izaya fought the arrows more freely, after ten or so minutes of struggle with the arrows he reached outside.

Ten meters away from the cargo exit was the forest.

Izaya saw marks on the ground, the slaves went into the forest.

right in the exit, there was rank one guard's bodies, all killed by an arrow.

Izaya saw one still alive with an arrow on his shoulder, he directly slapped the guard awake.

"What happened!? Why the slaves went to the forest?!

"ugh-uh sir, some people come in screaming the general's daughter is on the road. saying she was here to rescue them" the man was barely conscious. these arrows are poisonous.

Izaya' eyes went cold. He started thinking.

The fire in the whole street was a way to put the slaves outside.

Whoever is behind this, had the courage to steal from the black market, and it's not a simple person, Izaya noticed the guard were already dead, he looked into the forest and pictured his daughter.

He has to find out the intentions of the robber. So he can rescue his daughter.

He could feel some rank two masters coming, good.

it'll be easy to manipulate these sedentary rank two cultivators.
