Another 5 days passed after leaving the Village, currently we wheir moving on the road, having big mountains both are side making our path quiet narrow. Wheir only two carriage could move side by side.
Merchant said in serious voice "Be on your guard this mountain region is whier many bandit makes thier hideout. If we are lucky we won't encounter them if not then be ready to fight."
The guy beside him gave a nod started paying more attention while I was sitting leisurely at the 2nd carriage, having my Back rest on it. After clearing all my doubts through merchant I didn't hang around any longer in 1st carriage and came back to 2nd, kicking the other guy from this carriage to the 1st carriage.
Ten minutes later , Suddenly our carriage stopped. I opened my eyes watching the surrounding seeing same mountain range on our both side, I felt suspicious to why we stopped here. I came down of the carriage went ahead to look.
Seeing the 10 beast-kin stopping us by blocking our path I quiclkly asked the system to check their Rank. While I activated my Demon eyes.
I got the answer from system and thought to myself 'Hmmmm 2 rank 8 , 5 rank 9 , and 3 rank 10 pretty tough people for normal bandit merchant mentioned ', I figured it out that they were obviously bandit. Seeing the weapon on their hands, having kind of evil smile on their faces. And obviously who would block our path for no reason.

Some hours before ,Some Bandits where keeping watch in this area hidden themselves around the big rocks. One of the bandit spoke with clear irritation "What boring thing to do, We are clearly keeping our watch over here for last 5 days, And we didn't found even a single prey."
The another one spoke "Indeed you are right. While he ordered us keeping watch here like a Damm fool they must be enjoying their time with that woman we caught" agreeing with him.
Hearing about the woman the one who spoke first started laughing "Hahahaha... Indeed she was queit a woman and to drill in those tight cave of her... ." he leaked his lips with toungh but spoke nothing further. But continued his laugh.
Finally the third guy spoke "Cut-it-out you guys, You are speaking to loud don't forget we are keeping watch here if someone heard you they could figure us out and that could create problem for us." In serious commanding voice.
They too went quiet after this clearly they didn't want to anger this guy knowing his rank was above them.
Watch for one more hour the third guy finally saw the carriage coming from ahead he alerted both of them "Finally someone came. You two go figure it out how many are their in the carriage and what it contains." Thinking inwardly 'I hope their is a woman in this carriage to, We could have some fun with her it been quiet the time we have been having fun with that woman. She doesn't interest me much now,' With a evil grin on his face.
Two of them did what he told hiding themselves through rocks they went close to the road side. Seeing the carriage from close while they still hiding they could see their where total 5 guys in total in both the carriage, Since carriage was queit opened type one so it was not a problem for them to see how many of them where inside.
Confirming this they went back to the guy to report their finding." Boss we found 5 guys inside both the carriage with some boxes in it, Maybe it's goods and one of them must be the merchant while two of them are driver while other maybe adventure." They didn't had any way to see through one's rank so they didn't bother with it.
Hearing it the beaat-kin guy felt disappointed a little but soon grinned and said "Only two adventure they could be perfect prey, Come on we should tell this to boss then we would get them," Saying this they soon went from their.
*********
Present Time.
Seeing the demon coming out they couldn't help but look at him with curiosity, they too haven't saw the demon in their life.
Rank 10 guy spoke first with a smile" You people live your belongings here and you can live unscathed and if you don't then be prepared to die,".
We all of them had already came out of the carriage, while beaat-kin guy had already taken out his ax, I just stood their didn't said anything just watched how it would go.
Merchant had no fear of them and was confident in my power been at rank 14 and believed that they would mostly be at rank 10 so he snorted "hmmmm, It would for your best to not come in our way, Sir over here is at Rank 14 and can kill you if you guys block our path" He said with a smile. He didn't bother with the number since power matter here rather then number because many would likely retreat then fight with higher rank one and die.
But I felt like headache, Thinking 'Why this damn merchant had to reveal my rank doesn't he know,' don't let your enemy know about you' but since beans was spiled I can't do anything about this I stayed queit.
But for merchant this was best way to come unscathed from all this, his thoughts was clear to handle this situation buy scaring them to back off with higher rank on their side.
Bandit hearing this got shock, hearing I was at rank 14 but didn't took much of the time to come out of it and started laughing.
Merchant and guy got the bad wipe from this, Feeling that where their someone with same or higher rank people from them. But I had some idea why they where laughing.
"We would have been afraid of going against that demon but since our boss is over here we don't need to fear him or you guys,". Same guy who spoke before said with a grin.
"W-What do you mean by that?" Merchant asked feeling little fear inside. Not liking this situation one bit. Seeing that their was no fear in them rather they where fearless.
