"Let go of me! I must prove my loyalty!!!!"
'- If you want to die, go die by yourself! Don't drag us with you!'
In spite of my struggles, I could not get rid of them. On the contrary, they began to exert more strength to get me restrained.
'You! Y-you! You're forcing me! Activate [Strength] profile!'
At the same moment that my body was surrounded by colossal strength, I lifted my foot and...
"Gofu!"
"Hwack!"
"Ouuh!"
I kicked them in the balls.
They've had it up to my balls for a while now. Not because I pretended to be a good man meant the injustice hadn't piled up. Even when I went to take a piss, someone was watching me! You sow what you reap!!!
Watching them writhe on the ground gave me so much satisfaction that my real personality came back.
'Oops, remember your character, remember your-... No, wait…'
I just thought of something.
Without the annoying teammates holding me back, I walked calmly in the direction of the enemy group, as if the previous scene had never happened.
"Good! Then don't say we didn't warn you! Let's go, guys! From now on, Emir is on his own!" The captain shouted very loudly in order to make the enemies understand that they had nothing to do with what I would do.
After the captain's shout, his group moved away very fast. Only a few seconds passed, and they were nowhere to be seen anymore.
'Well, better for me.'
Stopping at the entrance to their makeshift camp, I lifted my chest proudly and positioned my hands behind my back like a sage. The big difference with my previous personality is that I now have my chin slightly raised to look down on them.
"I come as the Guild Master's spokesman. Surrender immediately, or else your families will suffer the consequences."
As soon as they heard my words, everyone instantly stopped. Those in front of the campfire, or those who were putting up the tent, all stopped what they were doing and looked at me angrily.
"No kidding, brat!!!" One of them shouted.
"If you keep talking garbage, I'll leave you on the verge of death." Another one drew his sword.
"There are words that should not be spoken aloud, even less when you are not strong enough to face what they entail." He seemed so calm as he spoke, but his hand firmly clenched the hilt of his weapon.
'Hm... I'll activate the [Agility] profile, just in case.'
I looked at one of them and smiled. "You are Roland, aren't you? I remember you appearing on the list."
Roland: "!!!!"
Seeing his look of surprise, I smiled even more.
"Which one of you had a beautiful black-haired daughter? I can't remember... Was it you, Neir? Level 24 Swordsman, right? Or was it you, James? Level 28 knight, right?"
Neir: "!!!!"
'-No one else knew the level of my class but my family!'
James: "!!!!"
'- That information is classified. Only I and the guild master knew about my level... And, by the look on Neir's face, this guy got his level right too!'
Everyone was able to see Neir and James's surprised looks. Anyone with three fingers in front could understand what was going on... That I possess private information about them!
And therefore, their families really must be in Fabio's hands!
"No one responds? Good then! In fact, it's very good that she wasn't the daughter of one of you. As you know, the guild master is a sadist. That girl even committed suicide after passing through his hands."
"Was it my Dayana?! ANSWER ME!!!!"
"Don't tell me it was my Catalina!!!"
Two of them got up from the ground. Their eyes show an incredible hatred for me. As if I had murdered their whole family!
'Mm... Well, I'm trying to say something similar... after all, I suppose it's quite understandable their anger. Oops, remember your character. Remember your character.'
"Francisco, Knight level 25, and Damian, Swordsman level 30. Were you guys? Why didn't you tell me earlier? That way, I would have avoided giving such detailed information. I know what you are feeling. Seriously! I saw firsthand how some of your family members were murdered. But don't worry! Their parts will be mailed... Hm, I guess I shouldn't have said that."
With my words, silence reigned for a moment, but then they all unsheathed their weapons and looked at each other.
"Murdered..."
"Their parts..."
"Even if some of them are still alive, only God knows how long they will endure going on living."
'Ugh! The guilt is killing me! Act fast, damn it!'
And, as if they heard my complaints, they all looked at me at the same time and started walking in my direction.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't come any closer!"
Turning a deaf ear to my words, they kept coming closer.
"All right! Half of your family is dead, but the other half is still alive! Just surrender, and it'll all be over!"
"We know our loved ones more than anyone else! What they want is not salvation but...!"
"Vengeance!!!" They all shouted in unison.
"Well, well. Now ask me Fabio's location, and I'll gladly tell you."
"Kill him!"
"You will be the first to receive our vengeance!"
Emir: "!!!!"
Emir: "Don't kill the messenger who brings the bad news!!!!"
'That's not how I had planned this!'
Without hesitation, I turned around and started running.
"Don't run away!"
"Accept your death!"
'My Holy God Solus! These guys are crazy! They don't even respect the rules! Did they forget that murder is forbidden? Because it is!'
Suffering from the injustice, I unconsciously shouted...
"Guild Master! Save me!!!!!"
' - Ugh... Why did I get a chill? Is someone talking bad about me behind my back? Mn, I have a bad feeling…'
Far away from Emir, Fabio managed to feel the strange atmosphere around him. Unfortunately for him, the disaster with legs is approaching at high speed towards his position, and he doesn't even know it.
Using all the resources I had at hand, I managed to create some distance from the thugs. Thanks to this, I can better dodge the daggers, arrows, and whatever else they are throwing at me at the moment.
"Hey, wait!"
"What's the matter, Francisco? You don't want us to spare him, do you?!"
"Of course not! But look at him... If we let him escape, he'll lead us straight to his guild master!"
"!!!"
For a second, the throwing weapons stopped falling on me, but the next second, the barrage of attacks returned with greater ferocity. The map on my UI was filled with moving objects heading towards me.
As I was about to start my moves to evade them, I realized something very important...
'None of their attacks will hit me! Did the anger affect their aiming? No, something so convenient couldn't be happening.'
After giving the matter some thought, I came up with a pretty feasible theory.
'These guys are waiting for the pressure to get to my head and make a mistake. In other words... they're using psychological attacks! These guys are psychopaths!'
I must get to Fabio as soon as possible and deliver this pack of thugs to him personally. Otherwise, someone might smear my name by saying I threatened them or something like that.
'People are very gossipy, so I must tread carefully.'
Minutes later, I got close enough to where Fabio's group was and shouted at the top of my lungs...
"Guild Master! Save me!!!!"
Fabio: "..."
'- So, you were the cause of this bad feeling!!!'
Thanks to the [Agility] profile, I managed to get close to their group long before my pursuers. And, in doing so, I quickly raised my chest with pride and made stars come out of my eyes. Just ask me, and I will say that I am willing to give my life for my homeland.
"Guild master, this time is different from last time. There are only 10 members of the Red Flag Guild, but what's special about them is that they are the most experienced in the guild."
"And what do you expect by bringing them here?!" Fabio was about to shout, but held back because his teammates were looking at him.
With a wide smile on my face, indicating that the important part is coming right now, I said...
"To redeem myself, I came up with a plan. If the enemy's most experienced group disappears on the first day, wouldn't it mean that the Golden Lion guild could gain a huge boost in the battles ahead?"
"!!!"
Not only Fabio, but even the men beside him were surprised at my words. After all, the Red Flag Guild may be strong, but their own guild members won't necessarily be so. If Fabio's group manages to eliminate the worst competition, their comrades will have a clear path to victory!
"Good plan!"
"You did well, boy!"
"Even though it's a crazy idea, I can't deny that it's the results that matter... You've done your part in bringing them in, now it's our turn to take them down!"
"Yes, guild master!"
With Fabio's shout, the others immediately joined the plan.
Only a few seconds passed, and the enemy group got close enough to see us.
"There he is! The psychopath guild master!"
"At last, I can avenge my beloved daughter Dayana!"
"This is for Catalina! Your father will be able to put an end to your suffering!"
"Dear family, look at me! I'll give you the peace you long for!"
Fabio: "..."
