I couldn't just up and leave without ending his life. I just hope that I could actually kill him as I couldn't feel his strength. As he is an information broker I guess that most of his skills are stealth related and possibly he's an assassin.
I have little to no chance of winning in a head on battle even if assassins are the type that don't do head on confrontations. I would need a way to assassinate an assassin. It would be the perfect end for him though a taste of his own medicine.
He would surely be waiting for a report from them but how would they know where to find him. I doubt he would be waiting at the guild while he takes in a kidnapped person.
Rummaging through the leaders pockets I find a single piece of paper with an address on it. Storing it in my pocket I grabbed one of the bodies. Taking the bandana from the body I covered my face and put a cover over his to make it look like me. I would deliver this body so it looked like I was taken down and while receiving payment I would kill him then and there.
Hoisting the body over my shoulder I ran back towards the city before jumping over the wood fence with little to no effort. Even for a person with average stats like me they can do what would be impossible in my world. But I had no time to focus on that as I began scanning the area for the address in question.
The address was an abandoned warehouse with a dilapidated roof and the door was falling off the hinges. Walking inside I was met by a shadow that walked out into the light.
"Where's your boss?"(?)
"The boss is dead and the kid got him before I could deal a blow with his own weapon. I didn't come out unscathed either the kid stabbed me in the stomach and leg and I had to wait until they healed enough to where I could carry his body. "
"Fine come over here and take off his face covering."(?)
Sounding more like a command I walked towards him and placed the body down before him. He bent over at the body as I grabbed the face covering ready to pull it off.
As I pulled it off I willed the corpses blood to create a spear that blew through his head almost instantly as the blood rushed towards the masked ma, He didn't have enough time to properly dodge and ended up getting stabbed in the collar bone effectively stopping him from moving as it pierced right through him. He began to bleed profusely and I knew that he didn't have much time before he died.
"Why did you want me dead? We have never met nor have I done anything that would cause you to want me dead in the first place. So why?"
He looked at me with pure hostility and disgust on his face.
'You don't think that I wouldn't notice your strength and your weapon. I was on a mission when I saw you in the forest near the mountain, although weak at that time I took notice of your weapon and then when you met me in person your strength increased exponentially. After doing some research I found your weapon in an ancient book:
The fabled Calamity of legend, Once held by the fabled Crimson Princess. You're obviously no normal person if you had your hands on that weapon that has been lost along with its owner for decades however you are still mere commoner filth. Once the nobility finds that you killed a high noble of the kingdom you will be hunted down like the animal you are. You should have submitted to those adventurers or at the least ran while you could!"(?)
"This is why I hate humanity so much! It's all just greed greed greed greed GREED! Just because I have something you don't, just because I have a modicum of strength you went and messed with me. You disgust me and your kingdom disgusts me. Get out of my sight!"
Slitting his throat with my scythe I drained his blood and let the scythe have all of the blood. I could feel it vibrate in delight after its meal. The taste of noble blood must have been better than its previous meals. I could feel that it would have many more meals like that in the future.
A noble eh? For his strength I managed to get away with it. At least he underestimated me allowing for that surprise attack to work.
As the adrenaline left my body my legs gave out. All the pressure had pushed me over the edge. I couldn't handle it any more, killing endlessly without a break especially after I healed some serious injuries was not the best decision. I could only hope that if someone were to search for the noble it would take enough time to where I could recover before they arrive.
I felt a weakness permeate from my heart as I mulled over his words.
Hey, they are still hunting you after all this time yknow. If only you could have been here to guide me. I'm so so lost and I don't know what to do. I have already been hunted by nobles. Maybe I should abandon my plan and head to another continent? I wish. you.were her~
My eyelids closed from exhaustion as my body went into a state of repair. Flesh wiggled back together and the scythe glowed a purple hue unbeknownst to me like it had a mind if its own desiring to be held by its master who was passed out.

Waking up I felt lighter. The emotions that I had held in so far seemed to have leaked in my weakness. I needed to leave and quickly. Pushing myself off the floor I jumped from roof to roof until I leaped over the fence and back to the road ready to continue my journey while feeling a lightness in my step as I managed to slightly come to terms with her being gone.
