Location: Amane Empire
Amane empire is one of the fourteen empires of the west, just like the vermax empire and the vorgan empire, they have a huge bounty offer against the assassin guild and all of the s-class assassins are wanted.
But the amane empire haven't been actually threatened by the assassin guild directly.
The amane empire is well known for their trade business, they are one of the most popular directions when it comes to trading, and they have the most merchants in the west than any empire.
The scorching sun shines upon the amane empire as the empire continues their day as usual, a busy day for an empire that transcends above the level of normal trading businesses, they are the supreme head.
They also control the merchant guild of the west, the merchant guild which controls all the merchants of the west has their headquarters built in the amane empire so it's even more busy than you can imagine.
Passing through the watchmen of the amane empire and being scouted and searched by the security soldiers of the empire, rey castle made his way into the empire....the name the deathmaker is wanted.
But only a few know the real name of the deathmaker.
" the amane empire is as beautiful as they always say, the merchant land of gold, one of the richest empires of the west, i wonder how wealthy they really are " rey castle spoke out while riding on his horse.
He covered himself with a green robe so no one would know what he looks like. he is still on his eye-patch since its skill is too powerful for him to completely control it anytime he wishes to do so.
" hmmmm, i wonder where the dark market is located " rey castle asked himself when he brought out a map. he is dressed as a warrior from a far land but he isn't putting on his battle suit.
He made his way into the market area when he slowly climbed down from his horse, gently leading his horse while walking. the grand market is as busy as they are rumored to be, thousands of people moving around.
Rey castle bought some food to satisfy himself when he noticed something. a child bumped into him when he noticed his purse had completely disappeared. he slowly glanced at the little boy running away.
" a pickpocket huh? lucky for me i have another purse " rey castle said with a smile on his face when he brought out another purse. he gave out a few coins to the seller when he took his food away.
He slowly turned when he noticed two familiar faces!!
Those faces were familiar to him because they are his enemies, the crimson lion company undercover agents, captain rudeus, princess lily, gabriel, silas, pedro, anna and a twin in the crimson lion company.
They are erik and zerik, and they are the famous twins of the crimson lion company.
" what the hell are those guys doing here? are they following me or what? " rey castle asked himself in shock when he quickly turned to leave, the crowds were becoming even more chaotic like they were before.
Meanwhile, captain rudeus could be seen buying some food for them to eat when princess lily could be seen staring around. she noticed someone was looking at her when she turned toward his direction.
At first, she didn't recognize him because of the way he turned to leave but she recognized his movements and his eye-patch. princess lily squinted her eyes upon recognizing the deathmaker.
" captain, he is here....i'm going after him " princess lily voiced out.
" huh? who is here princess? " captain rudeus asked when he turned towards the direction where she was looking. he squinted his eyes when he recognized the deathmaker with just a single look.
" the deathmaker, that bastard is here, i won't let him escape " princess lily spoke out when she unsheathed her blade and started running towards his direction. captain rudeus handed over his wallet to silas and he dashed off.
" wait princess....you can't just go charging at him alone, he might harm you " captain rudeus pleaded, but princess lily paid deaf ears to what he was saying when she continued charging towards him.
Meanwhile, rey castle, who was seen slowly moving away, sensed something. he slowly turned when his eyes met the eyes of the princess. he saw her charging against him when he smiled.
" my my, it seems the princess is crazier than i expected her to be " rey spoke out when he started running away, forcing his way through the crowds while abandoning his horse. he is being pursued.
Running through the crowds, he stole three wallets from different people.
" that bastard...he is getting too fast, i have to get him " princess lily screamed out when she leapt. she noticed the movements of the deathmaker; despite being overwhelmed by the crowd, he is too fast.
Rey castle grinned evilly when he supersped, breaking through the crowd by unleashing a bit of his wind skill, scattering the dust in the air when he made his way out of the market and entered a corner.
But the princess's spatial awareness skill is the right tracking tool since she can detect his aura. she didn't stop running when she passed through the same corner that the deathmaker ran through without hesitation.
Gabriel, pedro, and silas followed while anna was left to pay for the food. erik and zerik followed without hesitation, they were all chasing the same person while passing through corners.
" captain....i know where the bastard is about to enter, we can catch him off guard by cornering him " princess lily spoke out when she passed through another area while monitoring his movements.
Rey castle smiled when he increased his speed without hesitation!
" they are able to follow my movements, that is quite surprising since i didn't expect it. are they using magics or skills to track me or what? " rey castle asked when he entered another corner again.
" i lost my horse, but i guess i will get another one later. first, i need these vermax pigs to stop chasing me " rey castle said to himself while moving. he became even faster than the wind.
Activating the fleet foot skill to merge with the wind!!
He moved as fast as the wind could carry him while being followed by the crimson lion company's twins....erik and zerik, who were ordered to be pursuing him so he wouldn't notice anything.
" i'm followed by a twin, but where is the princess though? i can't see her anywhere, did she give up or what? no....i doubt that's what she did; she loots me for her to give up " rey castle said when he sighed.
He continued running fast until he arrived at a dead end. he immediately halted when he realized he was at a dead end, no place to pass through except he knocked down those two who were following him.
" shit, this is a dead end.....i have to leave or else that bitch will find me " rey castle said when he was about to take the next step, a cannon beam was fired against him without hesitation, but the beam didn't hit him.
" it's been a while hasn't it? deathmaker " the voice of princess lily was heard.
Rey castle smiled when he slowly turned to see princess lily resting her back on the wall while folding her arms. he has been completely surrounded by the crimson lion company undercover agents.
"Hello princess, you are looking beautiful today," Rey spoke out with smiles on his face.
"You really think you can get away with this by saying that? What a fool, you are going to be crushed by the Vermax empire," Gabriel voiced out when he clenched his fists, he is seen fuming in anger.
"You Vermax dogs really can't stop disturbing me huh? I was practically on my own when you guys started chasing after me. Can't a man live his life in privacy?" Rey Castle asked with smiles on his face.
"Yes, but not when you are wanted by thirteen empires. We weren't able to apprehend you in the Free-City because of their rules of no fighting, but this is the Amane empire, there are no laws suggesting that."
"S-class assassin: Deathmaker, you are under arrest for your crimes against the Vermax empire. If you resist, we will kill you," Captain Rudeus spoke out when Rey Castle laughed out loud in a hysterical manner.
"And what is funny?" Captain Rudeus asked.
"You, you are funny. You guys really think you could kill me huh? Even with your battle suits on, you could never land a hit against me. I have a purpose for coming here so I don't want to be disturbed," Rey Castle said.
"You have been cornered bruh, stop talking you are in charge," Silas spoke out when he widened his eyes in shock. Rey Castle appeared right above him in a matter of seconds, sending Silas crashing into the ground with a kick to the face.
"What? What just happened?" Pedro asked in shock when he brought out his spear, but he gasped in shock when he noticed he couldn't even move his body. All his vital points had been punctured.
"That bastard... when did he hit me?" Pedro asked when he fell heavily on the ground. The Deathmaker giggled softly when he slowly turned towards Princess Lily, who remained calm as she watched him.
"You aren't going to talk huh, princess? You want me to kiss ya or what? I know you miss me a lot," Rey Castle said with smiles on his face when Princess Lily frowned as she slowly approached him.
"Do away with those rubbish words of yours. Why are you here? You have another target, huh?" Princess Lily asked when she stood before Rey Castle. Rey Castle smiled brightly while staring at her.
"Yh, kinda... there has been some secret release trade of the demon fruits. I'm here to find the source and to crush that source. Humans don't need something foolish as demon fruits," Rey Castle said.
"Huh? You are here to stop the trade of the demon fruits? Were you paid to do that or what?" Princess Lily asked in shock. Even Captain Rudeus was shocked when he heard those words from Rey Castle.
"Nah, it's my own decision. Based on your reactions, you guys are here undercover to crush the demon fruits trade too, right? Well, I guess we are together on this after all," Rey Castle said.
"I will take my leave, but I need to remind you folks first. Don't get in my mind. Starting now, I will be in the mood to crush down those who control the demon fruits trade business. If you stand in my way or get in my way, I won't hesitate to kill you, princess," Rey Castle warned. Mere looking at his eyes, you will know that he isn't playing even for a single bit.
"Very well then, we won't get in your way, but I have something to say to you. Since we are in this together, I don't mind partnering with you this once, but once we are done, I am taking you in, Deathmaker," Princess Lily spoke out.
"He-he-he-he, that's if you can actually subdue me. You were able to corner me with your skill, but do you think I didn't want to be cornered? Do you really think if I wanted to escape from you, I would be here?"
"You are still too weak, princess. Still too weak for me to consider you a threat," Rey Castle said, and he made his way out of the scene. His presence is nowhere to be found when Princess Lily took a deep breath.
"That bastard... he still underestimates me. I will kill him!" Princess Lily roared out while gnashing her teeth angrily when she touched her pocket. She widened her eyes in shock when she noticed something missing.
"That bastard... he stole my purse!" Princess Lily screamed out angrily.
"You are not the only one, princess. He stole all of our wallets, that bastard," Captain Rudeus spoke out angrily. The Deathmaker was so fast that he didn't even notice his wallet had been stolen already.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"He-he-he-he, those Vermax dogs really were rich. Thanks to them chasing after me, I now have enough money to buy that super max candy that I have always wanted," Rey Castle spoke out.
He is seen holding the wallets of the Crimson Lion Company undercover agents while counting the money in their wallets. He grinned evilly when he made his way back into the market to hide himself.
"But that princess... she was able to awaken a skill this early, huh? She is more than I expected her to be, but she is still too weak for me to consider a threat. I will keep watching her growth, and once she reaches the peak I want..."
"I will kill her myself!"
