Chapter 8 - There’s always trouble

In a dark and long tunnel, illuminated by lamps on the wall, there are three figures walking, two males and one female, two of them are clad in black robes covering their entire body and hiding their faces, they're moving in complete silence, the only audible sound being their steps echoing through the tunnel walls. 

They walk until they reach the end of the tunnels, which is stairs that ascend to a trap door. 

"This is where I stop, it's a pleasure doing business with you miss Blade, I'm sure you already know the way from here, I hope you come to me anytime you need to go anywhere undercover". 

The person who spoke is an older guy, dressed in simple black trousers and a few pieces of armour covering his upper body, he known as "The boss" is the ring leader of an international underground group that deals with multiple illegal activities including smuggling, he is one of Enya's contacts that has helped her throughout her years of adventures. 

"As always your services are very reliable Max and I might need them again sooner than you think". Enya said as she pulled out a gold coin from a pouch on her side, the cost is 10 silver coins per person, a single gold coin coin is worth 20 silver and a single silver coin is worth a hundred copper coins. Most of the commoners are payed in copper and only a few getting silver coins in their life, and a gold coin, most die without ever seeing one, so it's worth can be guessed. 

After the payment, both parties went their separate ways, with Astro and Enya ascending the stairs, pushing the trap door, going to the other side. 

What greeted them is a room filled with brown boxes, some sort of storage room it seems, with a door on their right side. Enya taking the lead as the one familiar with the setup walked ahead with Astro following after her, walking through the door, this time what greeted them was a rowdy bar. The classic bar setup with wooden tables and chairs, filled with drunk, loud and rough looking figures. 

Ignoring all the stares, they walked through the bar, heading to the entrance, but it seems like in all bar scenes there's always that one idiot that wants to cause trouble, but in this case there are two such idiots. Two drunk man, smelling of alcohol and tobacco now stood in the way of Astro and Enya. 

"Hey sexy, did you think we wouldn't notice those curved under that robe, why don't you take it off and give us a dance, we'll pay of course. Hahaha!"

'…'

On the side, Astro had a blank face as he payed his condolences to the two. 

Enya with cold eyes didn't say anything, the only thing that was seen was a flash and a "plop" was heard as the two man fell with one arm and one leg severed from both of them. This little mistake of theirs literally cost them an arm and a leg.

Without saying anything they both walked out leaving, the everyone in the bar stunned and silent, with the only noise being the screams of the two man. 

Astro was kind of impressed, he didn't know she has such a cold and ruthless side, not to mention he couldn't even follow her sword strike, but ignoring that, they out walked out of bar. 

In front of them was a bustling medieval cityscape.
