Third person POV
And then, as Russell was about to load a crate parcel into his bus's baggage compartment, Jaria appeared behind him and pointed her dagger at his neck, shocking and scaring him a lot. Leon and the others saw that and were freaking out when Jaria warned them not to do anything or she will slash Russell's throat. Then, after that, Jaria turned her attention towards Russell and said, "Don't move, or I'll kill you."
Russell let go of the parcel and raised his hands in surrender, only to retaliate back by kicking her dagger out, disarming her.
As Jaria was taken aback by it and try to retaliate back with her extra dagger, Russell pulled out his windshield wiper and fought back, blocking her attack.
A fight ensued, and Leon and others saw that in awe.
It was a fight between an assassin and a bus driver. Jaria used her assassin skills to try to overpower him, but Russell was skillful enough to do the same thing on her. And then, across the street, Prince Nicholas was helping an old lady when he saw the fight. Alerted by it, Nicholas finished his aid for the elderly citizen and ran to the scene. "What is going on?" the crowned prince asked.
Adrian, Leon, and the others then looked at him.
"Big brother!" Adrian responded back.
"Someone was trying to kill Mr. May!" one passenger exclaimed.
And in response to this, Nicholas took off his hood and used his Nullification ability to nullify Jaria's fighting skills temporarily but leaves Russell's unscathed and untouched. Jaria was frozen in her position, and Russell was stunned and stopped fighting. Nicholas then ran to Russell and asked, "Are you okay, May-san?"
"Yes, I am fine, thank you, Your Highness," replied Russell back while putting his windshield wiper down.
"Yes, you're welcome."
The others then looked at the crowned prince and said thank you to him for stopping the fight and saving Russell.
With that, Nicholas looked at Jaria and became suspicious at her motive and agenda.
So, shortly after, Nicholas freed her from his nullification control and had her apprehended by the city guards. The city guards then took her to the capital city's barracks for interrogation with torture. At the same time, Jaria became doubtful at what she was doing last time and beginning to question Aren's order in her mind, planning to confess fully and honestly to them later.
Meanwhile, after an exchange of assurance of his safety and well-being with Nicholas, Russell finished loading the cargo into his bus, boarded his bus, and left the scene for his route to Carelis, Province of Haki, the Zale Valleys Kingdom via Ionawood City, Polsta Region within the Southern Plains.
