Chapter 64: 'i am killing for money'
"Ah, we are here." He muttered and jumped off the carriage.
"Hmm, Boss seems like you are all boosted up! From the looks of it, you seem to have resolved to do the job..." Gunther said.
Nix sighed.
"Hah, Elder. Why would you call me boss like I am some leader of a bunch of gangsters? It's fucking cringe."
"What the hell boss? I am in my twenties just like you! Why are you calling me elder?"
"What seriously?" He exclaimed.
"I am sorry elder." as he replied his lips slightly twitched as he endured his laughter.
"Buddy I won't call you boss. Drop the Elder please." He said with a disheartened expression.
"Okay," He said and shook his hands with him.
A guy holding a liquor bottle started laughing.
"Haha, Uncle! why are you trying to lower your age? Haha"
He had messy hair, light brown skin, and a goatee beard. He was wearing battered leather armor and a dagger which was tied on his waist, and pair of worn-out leather boots.
"You bastard! Stop fucking trolling me!" Gunther snorted and bonked his head.
"Haha, what the hell man? I just said the truth." He said while rubbing his head to ease the pain.
Nix opened his mouth with an expressionless face.
"Alright, let's stop with that Harik."
All of them readied themselves and waited for some random people to cross the path. The path they were in was a rocky road with nothing but a vast vacant land similar to a desert yet with some trees and shrubs. It was a perfect place to rob people.
"Yo Leader! There are carriages coming straight towards our direction. They possibly seem like a rich family and there is also another carriage behind it and there are two mutinos in a distance. It looks like we can't handle the four things together. so what's yer order?"
A man with a mohawk hairstyle said. His hair was red in color and he was average in height. He was dressed up with leather armor on him and he had his bow aimed towards the carriage's driver who was speeding towards the group.
Nix took the borrowed binocular from Gunther and peered and waited for the carriage to get closer.
"Leader your orders?" the mohawk hair guy asked.
'Should I really do this?' he grumbled inwardly.
Because the carriage seems to be coming with heavy security and he was having second thoughts about doing the jog.
"Standby." He ordered.
"Buddy, they seem to be some rich people. We may not get this opportunity like this. But, I don't think we can do this with our current group." Gunther said.
'I am doing this for money!' He muttered to himself and ordered, " Shoot the targets!"
As soon as he said that, the two archers of his group shot their arrows towards the drivers of both carriages.
'No going back now.'
Nix's heart began to beat wildly because of the guilt. He just wanted to survive and grabbed everything within his reach. Good or bad he just needed to do it.
As soon as the arrows pierced. Few people got out of the carriage and tried to stop their speeding carriage.
[Private ability: Doom prediction vision activated]
"Gunther! Harik! take cover" He ordered as the vision of the arrows speeding towards them entered his mind.
"What???" They both knitted their brows in unison. They were unable to understand his order but, they accepted his order and took cover.
As soon as the arrows pierced their location accurately. they stared at Nix with a dumbfounded expression.
"Mohawk guy! Shoot the krigons!" He ordered.
"Tch, leader... stop with the Mohawk. My name is Bulziey." The man accurately rained down his arrows on the Krigons.
Nix walked straight towards the speeding carriage. He accurately predicted the trajectory of the arrows raining down from the Mutinos and walked at ease without caring about the arrows coming from the archers of the carriage while blocking some arrows with his scimitar.
His group looked at the scene in bewilderment as if they were enchanted by something. Nix lashed his chain on the ground and sent the waves of flames towards the carriage.
"Ahh! Ahh!" Few screams entered their ears as the carriage rolled a few times in the air and fell to the ground.
The members of his group just watched him in a daze.
"Can't you people help me?" He said turning back to them.
The archers shot their arrows towards two mutinos in the sky and they were rendered useless. Both the Mutinos sped towards the group.
[Special ability: Blazing typhoon activated]
Accompanied by the message the flames of typhoon extorted from his chain swept past both the mutinos and injured them. Both the mutinos descended to the ground while crying out in pain. A total of five people got out of the Mutinos.
"Kill those who attack back!" Nix ordered and continued brandishing his sword and killed two people while his crew took care of the others.
Soon after they killed everyone who raised their weapons against them and rushed towards the carriages and captured the passengers. The first carriage seemed luxurious. A man wearing a suit accompanied by his wife and a teenage boy was in it. The three of them were alive yet slightly injured. The other carriage contained two dead archers and two gravely injured warriors as security for a large silver chest inside the carriage.
The two mutinos contained two small chests of jewels. The family certainly appeared to be rich. The security was certainly low for such high valuables at least in Nix's point of view. And they seem to be traveling for Ferendel.
The people who acted as securities were Regulars judging from their winged tattoos on their body and their Ids.
"Mohawk every captive is here?" Nix enquired while gazing at the seven people who were captured by them.
Bulziey clicked his tongue.
"Tch, Yes leader!"
Nix gazed at the three chests before him and drifted his attention back to the crew.
"Alright, Just take the loots and let them leave."
"You fuckers! Do you know who I am? I will kill you all! You fucking bandits!" The man with the suit said threateningly.
Nix frowned at him.
"I don't care who you are. Just think about your family. Are you in a position to threaten me?"
"You son of a bitch!" The woman grunted. Possibly in her mid-thirties. Her body was elegant and beautiful. Just like how a milf would look with big busts and a seductive face. His crew was gawking at her with perverted thoughts in their minds.
Bulziey walked towards her and yanked her by her hair while staring at her.
"You bitch! You wanna die?" He said and tore her dress. Her sleeve and the upper part of her gown was torn and exposed her velvet red laced bra which was barely holding on to her huge busts.
Tears dripped down her cheeks as she shielded her body with her hands.
"You fuckers I will kill you!!!!" Her husband cursed at them.
Looking at the scenario the teen boy's pupils dilated and his eyes reddened in anger as he gritted his teeth while watching his mother getting abused. The boy seemed to be around the age of fifteen. He possessed the same hair color just like his mother while his eye color resembled his father's and he was wearing a black suit similar one to his father's.
Bulziey drifted his attention to Nix and said," Leader can I have some fun with this bitch?" while rising the woman by her neck.
Nix was shaken by this sudden development. He felt like he was pierced by hundreds of spears stabbing his body all at once as he received gazes of pure repugnance while Bulziey stared at him with anticipation proud face.
Nix clenched his fist and to endure the surging anger to kill him. He rushed towards Bulziey and grasped his neck and looked at his eyes with anger.
"Fucker Did I order you to do something? I will fucking kill you! If you ever do something like this again. Just do what I say!" He said and pushed him.
The blue-haired archer girl of his crew slightly smiled while watching Nix with her hands crossed. She hurriedly tried to look somewhere else as soon as she received a gaze from him.
The regulars just observed the scene. They conceded Nix's battle prowess first hand and knew that they would probably die. Even if he unchained them because they were all between the second level to third level Regulars while the man opposite to them exhibited power level crossing six.
Nix's crew checked the Chests one by one. Two chests contained approximately hundreds of gems mixed with jewels and the other chest contained platinum coins which they didn't have time to count. And they also plundered the armors and weapons of the regulars and guards. They just left them under the scorching sun, stark naked.
It could be considered as a tremendous fortune for Nix because since entering Empyrean this was his first victory and fortuitous situation. Although he was not glad about it.
"You bastard! Untie us, you tramps!" The man with the suit cursed at them.
Without giving a damn about the screams and curses Nix's crew loaded their rented carriage and took off to Dracton. Unable to endure the curses, Nix gritted his teeth and turned back to them with a red glimmer in his eyes. The captives held their breath for a second as soon as they received his enraged gaze. He sighed and turned back to the carriage again.
"Man! He sure is cool! I thought we wouldn't be able to trample a group with twelve members opposing us." Harik said while having his drink sitting inside the carriage.
The woman next to Gunther smirked at him and said, "Hmm, Just What do you expect from someone highly regarded by lady Cinzia? unlike you dumbasses."
She was having a ponytail hairstyle and multiple piercings on her ears and a piercing on her nose. Her body was lean and petite with modest busts. Her hair was blue in color and her skin tone was pale as snow with several tattoos on her body. Dimples appeared on her cheeks as she smiled.
Gunther smirked at her.
"Ohh, look at this! Our Camila seems to be in love, Haha"
Her cheeks were flushed red after he said that.
Opposite to her was her brother. He had a Buzzcut hairstyle, a well-built body and a pair of brown eyes, and big tattoos in both his arms, Pale white skin.
He frowned at Gunther.
"Gunther shut the fuck up. I admit it he is strong but, what's so great about him?"
Gunther laughed at him.
"Haha, Strong? You sure changed your mind after looking at his battle prowess."
Gunther continued laughing at him and added, "Haha, Are you perhaps envious of him, that even your sister is having a crush on him along with your crush Cinzia?"
"Ahh, that...." He was not able to blurt out words upon his question.
Harik siped his bottle and whispered.
"Shh, Stop this! That guy might hear..."
Nix was sitting along with Bulziey who was driving the Carriage to keep a watch for enemies while the crew inside the carriage chattered nonstop.
After several hours, they arrived in front of the city's gate. Nix jumped off and opened the carriage's gate.
"We are here." He said as the crew got off one by one out of the carriage.
