Nolan swung his sword, cutting Bonosus's head off.
Thud!
The head fell to the ground.
"NOOOOO!" Klint screamed.
"Don't worry." Guard No.1 said. "You will join him."
"I will kill you!" Klint screamed angrily, enveloping his whole body with his green internal energy.
He dashed toward Guard No.1. His speed was much faster than before.
Guard No.1 smirked. "No matter how much internal energy you use, you can not close the gap between our physical power." Saying this, red energy started coming out of his hands, enveloping his black sword, forming a shell around it.
Guard No.1 raised the sword above his head.
Swoosh!
He slashed down the sword at the incoming Klint.
Klint crossed the daggers in front of him, ready to collide with Guard No.1's sword head-on.
"It's over!" Guard No.1 screamed.
CLANG!
A sharp metallic sound filled the dark, empty street.
Boom!
Klint was thrown a few meters in the air, smashing with his back into the nearby building. His daggers broke.
However, Guard No.1 was not moved even an inch from where he stood before the collision.
Klint was still breathing, but he was badly wounded.
His ribs were broken, and blood dripped down his mouth.
"Aghh!" Klint tried to stand up.
Swoosh!
Guard No.1 launched his sword enveloped with internal energy toward Klint. He was not going to even give him a chance to stand up and run for his life.
Boom!
The sword hit Klint, piercing him through the stomach.
"BLuaghhh!" Klint vomited a large amount of blood. "I... don't...want to...die!" He weakly uttered those words, after which, a few seconds later, his life extinguished.
"Klint!" The man battling Brutus screamed. "NO! I must escape!"
Clang!
His sword collided with Brutus's great axe.
However, the moment the weapon collided, he let go of his weapon and turned back to run away.
"Hahahahah!" Brutus laughed. "No one has escaped from me. After all, I am an Executioner!"
Swoosh!
Brutus threw his great axe at the man.
The man turned back. "NO! NO! NO!" The man screamed with tears in his eyes. The great axe spun towards him like a wheel. And he was helpless to do anything. The axe was too large and was approaching too fast for him to dodge. All he could do was helplessly watch his death approaching.
Thud!
The great axe caught up to the man, hitting him on the back. The heavy axe penetrated deep into his back, throwing him to the ground.
"Cough!" He caught up blood on the ground. He tried to crawl away with the last bits of his strength, but the great axe on his back was too heavy for the injured him to even move.
"Hahahah!" Brutus laughed as he walked over to the man. He stepped on his back. "If you continued to battle with me, you might have lasted a bit longer." He said, taking the great axe out of his back.
"N...No," The man muttered weakly.
However, Brutus ignored him. He raised the great axe above his head.
Swoosh!
Thud!
He swung the great axe down, cutting the man's head off.
For the time Guard No.1 and Brutus battle their opponents, the other men that came with them took care of the men who surrounded Nara and hurt her.
"Sir, we double-checked them all. They are all dead!" A man wearing light silver armor reported to Guard No.1.
"Good," Guard No.1 took the sword out of Klint's body. "Don't relax!" He shouted, taking the attention of everyone. "Immediately enter the carriages and head over to the mansion of the Calvus noble family!"
All the men straightened their backs and shouted simultaneously: "YES, SIR!"
All the men immediately returned to the carriages.
"Nolan, are you coming?" Guard No.1 asked.
"Of course he is coming. It was his idea to attack the Calvus family." Brutus said, entering the carriage. "Prisoner, let's go!" He screamed from inside.
Nolan nodded to Guard No.1 and walked over to the carriage.
After they entered the carriages, the coachmen started the carriages, and they started moving toward the direction of the mansion of the Calvus noble family.
...
An hour passed.
"We are almost there," The coachman said.
Nolan opened the door and looked out.
They were just about to turn a corner.
He looked back in the carriage.
Brutus looked excited with his bloody great axe next to him, while Guard No.1 looked calm. His arms crossed on his chest, holding his sheathed sword between his chest and arms.
'They are helping me big time.' Nolan thought. 'If not because of them, there is no way that I could destroy the Calvus noble family alone. And after the time limit for completing the quest War, fourteen days pass, and I would die because of the penalty for not completing the quest. In the future, I must repay them."
Nolan then looked out of the carriage again.
They turned the corner and found themselves in front of a giant mansion surrounded by two meters tall stone walls. Two guards with spears in thier hands guarded the grand wooden gate of the mansion.
The carriages stopped.
Nolan jumped out of the carriage, followed by Brutus and Guard No.1.
The people from the other carriages also came out.
Guard No.1 stood in front of the group, with Nolan next to him. Brutus and the fifty armed men stood behind them.
"Who are you!" The guards pointed their spears at Guard No.1.
Swoosh!
Brutus's great axe flew past Nolan, straight toward the neck of one of the guards.
Pam!
The great axe cleanly cut off the head of the guard and pierced into the wooden gate behind him.
The other guard was stunned, unable to process what just happened.
Guard No.1 raised his hand, pointing at the mansion. "'Kill!" He commanded.
"Aghhhhhhhhh!" The men all unsheathed their swords and charged forward.
"Hahahaha!" Brutus laughed. "Leave the guard to me!" He screamed.
Boom!
The men bypassed the stunned guard and tore down the wooden gate.
"Hahahhahah!" Brutus took the guard by the head and slammed his head off the stone wall.
Nolan turned his head away. Even to him, this was too inhuman.
Yes, what he did to Bonosus was even more inhuman than this, but at least Bonosus deserved it. "He is innocent. Just give him painless death." Nolan muttered.
"That's just how he is," Guard No.1 said. He slowly started walking forward.
Nolan did not say anything and followed behind.
"Aghhhhhhh!"
"Don't Kill me!"
"Spare my life!"
Screams filled the night as the men of the Black Rose organization slaughtered everyone in the Calvus mansion, setting it on fire.
However, the mansion of the Calvus Noble family was not the only thing on fire that night.
That night, over a hundred buildings were set on fire all over Womvale City. And all those buildings belonged to the Viper organization.
This night was the start of the war between the Black Rose organization and the Viper organization.
...
After destroying the Calvus noble family, Nolan and the others returned to the restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the sun had just started rising.
However, the street was still full of dead bodies.
"Clean the street," Guard No.1 ordered.
The fifty men immediately got to work.
And Guard No.1, Nolan, and Brutus entered the restaurant.
Entering the restaurant, Nolan saw the employees sitting around two tables, chatting. They had still not gone home.
"Cough!" Nolan coughed, taking the attention of the employees.
Seeing him, they all shut up.
Layla, which was among the employees, came to him. "Boss, you..."
"Where is Harley?" Nolan asked, not minding the gazes of everyone in the room.
"He is upstairs accompanying boss Nara," Layla said. "Boss, should I bring you new clothes?"
Nolan looked at his clothes. They were covered in blood. "Let one of them bring me new clothes," Nolan said, pointing at the other employees. "More importantly, how is she? Is she awake?" Nolan asked worriedly.
"Yes. Should I call them downstairs?" Layla asked.
"Call only Harley. Let Nara rest."
"Alright," Layla walked over to the employees and told them to bring clothes to Nolan, and after that, she went upstairs to call Harley.
One of the ten women Nolan and Harley brought from the village quickly ran to the kitchen and brought a cook's clothes to Nolan.
"B-Boss, these are the only clothes we have here." She said, passing the clothes to Nolan.
Nolan took the clothes and entered the kitchen.
A minute later, he came out of the kitchen wearing white cook's clothes.
Though they were not the best clothes in terms of style, at least they were clean.
"Nolan," Harley's voice came from the second floor.
Nolan turned towards the stairs, and a few seconds later, Harley, Nara, and Layla appeared.
Harley and Layla held Nara by the arms, supporting her to walk.
Nolan quickly walked to the stairs, and he supported Nara too. "Why did you not rest?" He asked.
"I must at least greet our benefactor." She looked at Nolan seriously. "Nolan, Harley told me what you did to Bonosus. How could you do something so inhuman?"
"He almost killed you," Nolan said. "I could not kill him painlessly."
"Ahhh!" Nara shook her head. "You are kind, but when it comes to enemies, you turn into the cruelest monster."
"Alright, honey. Don't push yourself." Harley said. He then looked at Nolan. "Nolan, thank you. Even If I fought Bonosus to revenge Nara, I would not have done the job as well as you."
"Harley, don't encourage him," Nara said a little angrily.
"I am not encouraging him. If someone almost killed me, I am sure you would have done the same."
Nara sighed and raised her gaze. Her eyes met with Guard No.1. "Thank you..."
Seeing him, Nara froze. Tears filled her eyes.
Nolan noticed this and instantly looked back at Guard No.1.
He stared at Nara, tears flowing down his face.
