When James heard this, he turned toward the source of the voice.
Then, he saw a rough-looking, half-naked man staring at him in amazement.
The rough-looking man held a huge scarlet bow in his hand.
With a brief glance, James knew that the huge bow was over two meters long.
A weapon of such an exaggerated scale would produce an exaggerated amount of power.
It seemed that he was the one who had shot out the arrow.
Still, James breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him.
This was because he had noticed that this rough man before him was merely a Silver-rank expert.
For someone of such strength, killing them was as easy as killing chickens.
The present situation changed as a result.
Meanwhile, the battle at the butler's side had also stopped temporarily.
Then, both of them went back to their respective companions.
The butler came to James and saw that he was not hurt at all.
Surprise flashed past his eyes.
However, it was covered up by a serious gaze.
Facing the two enemies who suddenly attacked him, he said in a low voice, "Mr. James, help me hold them back. I'll go back to Saint Laurent City and let Gentleman Will know about this."
"Don't worry. As long as you drag it out for half an hour, I will be able to bring reinforcements over."
"Relax, these two people are only Level 7 Silver experts. With your Level 5 strength, dragging this battle for half an hour will be very easy!"
"How about it?"
James could only sneer at the butler's words.
Who was this butler trying to fool?
When the two of them were fighting just now, he had already seen clearly that this butler minimally had the strength of a Level 5 Silver expert, while his opponent was at least a Level 3 Silver expert.
Meanwhile, the burly man holding the giant bow was also an expert who was stronger than a Level 5 Silver expert.
Are you telling me that these two are only Level 7 Silver experts?
Since James knew that this butler was dishonest and wanted to harm him, he naturally did not respond.
He just folded his arms and watched the butler perform while silently sneering.
Seeing that James wasn't falling for it, the butler had no other choice.
After all, they could not possibly have any internal conflict between them now.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Since Mr. James doesn't want to delay the fight, I'll fight with you."
"In that case, even if I die, I will die fighting alongside Mr. James. I would not have lived my life in vain."
Upon hearing this, James sneered.
Was the butler still playing the sympathy card even at this stage?
If he was a novice adventurer, he might have fallen for it.
Unfortunately, James had grown up in the slums.
This level of acting could only fool three-year-olds in the slums.
However, it was impossible for him to hold the two enemies off alone.
Although he could kill both of them by himself.
He just didn't want to take the bullet for others!
However, if they fought together, it was acceptable!
Just as James got into his stance and was ready to strike…
He realized that the butler, who looked like he was about to die, had suddenly ran in the opposite direction.
He actually ran away!
Even James had never expected this sudden change.
"This—"
"Hahahaha! Kurifin, look, this idiot fell for it!"
"That's right, Hariel. I really didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who could fall for Burke's tricks!"
"Hahahaha!"
…
These voices belonged to none other than the two people who had ambushed James.
James glanced at them.
He roughly knew who these people were.
The gruff man with the giant bow was Kurifin, while the man who had fought the butler at first was Hariel.
Meanwhile, Burke was naturally the butler.
These three people actually knew each other from their conversation.
When James understood this, he asked Kurifin and Hariel a question.
"Do you know Burke?"
Kurifun and Hariel were surprised to see that James didn't seem scared at all.
Even though they were two Level 5 Silver experts facing a Level 3 Silver and a Level 4 Silver expert, James didn't panic at all.
Was he really confident or a fool?
However, the situation had been settled. Thus, Hariel didn't mind telling James about it so that he would die with a better understanding.
"Before we talk, let me deal with Burke first!"
"Kurifin, kill Burke!"
Uponing hearing this order, Kurifin raised his huge bow and aimed it at Burke, who had already run far away.
Burke, who had already run far away, was overjoyed when he saw that he could already see the contours of Saint Laurent City!
That's great!
He would be safe as long as he could run into Saint Laurent City!
No matter how arrogant those people from the Land of Chaos were!
They would not dare to attack a city in the Empire so openly!
However, just when he thought he was going to be safe…
An air-piercing sound came from behind. This was accompanied by a dangerous sharp weapon!
Burke knew that it was Kurifin who had attacked even without turning around.
Before the arrow could reach him, he felt another prick on his skin.
He tried his best to twist his body, but it was useless!
A thick arrow pierced through his heart from behind.
Finally, his body fell weakly to the ground.
The last thing he saw in his life…
… was Saint Laurent City not too far away.
Kurifin was pleased to see Burke killed by his own arrow.
"How is it? I told you my archery skills have improved recently!"
Hariel commented sharply, "It's still not fast enough. If Burke was a Level 4 Silver expert, he would have been able to dodge the arrow!"
Upon hearing this, Kurifin shook his head and said helplessly, "If I could kill a Level 4 Silver expert, I would already be a Level 4 Silver expert myself!"
Ignoring Kurifen's quibble, Hariel turned his gaze towards James.
"Now, it's your turn!"
"I suppose you're curious as to why we know each other?"
"Before that, let me introduce the two of us!"
Upon hearing this, James suddenly interrupted him. "You are from the Land of Chaos, right?"
"You guessed right!" Hariel nodded.
He was not surprised as this was very easy to guess.
After all, the Empire was the city nearest to Saint Laurent City.
When facing a criminal with extraordinary powers in Saint Laurent City, one did not need to be present at the crime scene to determine that the person must be from the Land of Chaos.
"That's right. Burke was originally from the Land of Chaos. We belonged to the same organization as him, but he betrayed the organization because of a treasure. In the end, he stole the treasure and escaped."
"After that, he fled to this remote place and disguised himself as a butler.
"This happened three years ago!"
"So now you know!"
"You now know why a mere gentleman would be ambushed by two Silver experts."
