Chapter 202 Terrio Family Business I - No Escape

"Boy, I don't know why master gave something this important to you, but you better follow the orders," Naomi said looking at Akiyo, who was checking his weapons.

"Sister, you're big brother Velian's lover, right?" Without even hesitating, he questioned making Naomi look away with her blushing a little.

"Yeah, so what?"

"My sister also really loves him, and I don't even question if more than ten girls fall for him," Akiyo said with his eyes shining in admiration.

"Ohhh~ looks like you're quite the fan," Naomi found it interesting because even though she met so many people that admire Velian, this is the first time she got to talk with one of them.

"I wasn't actually, brother might not know it but I used to hate him because whenever he's close to my family, my mother and sister both looked like they were really enjoying his company more than mine,"

With a smile, Akiyo remembered the past. But slowly my hate grew into admiration as I saw how he do things.

He even gave me this sword when I was a kid, I couldn't even fight at that time because I had a frail body like my father but he believed in me without even questioning why I'm doing that.

"Well, that's how he is, I won't go into details but he saved me from darkness, and even when I confessed he refused me saying my love isn't real and it was just admiration, but now I really love him," Naomi didn't even understand why she was talking with a stranger like this, but she felt some kind of a similarity between them.

"Enough, talking let's continue with the mission,"

She looked at the two groups of assassins that were under her orders.

"We will wait until we see all the people, and we don't want any casualties both on our side and the slaves they have.

"Roger that, leader," Everyone said in a tiny voice and started sprinting toward the building, which was believed to be the place they were staying.

"To think they were doing human trafficking, how despicable," Akiyo thought as he remembered the face of two victims, he took under his care.

Terrio's main building got already captured by Delviny's city guard, so they knew all the people responsible for this are trying to escape to another country.

"Leader, I sense people inside that building a lot of them," One of Naomi's comrades muttered with his eyes narrowed.

Naomi also felt it bit at the same time, she wasn't confident whether they had hostages or not.

"Wait! Surround the area, and wait until they try to escape, if we attack the building, they might harm hostages,"

Under her orders, everyone quickly surrounded the complete area of the building without leaving a single road or room.

Meanwhile, inside the building, a chunky man was sitting on the makeshift throne he had created out of piles of slaves he captured.

​ He was the leader of a notorious criminal gang known for their illegal dumping operations and their ruthless exploitation of the market to do human trafficking.

"Boss, why can't we escape now? We need to leave this city quickly, I heard that the new king is a tough one, he completely destroyed everyone who tried to go against his rules," One of his lackeys said with eyes shaking in fear for his life.

But the fat man surveyed his domain from his filthy perch, and the fat man plotted his next move.

"Don't haste, no young boy can stop us, I think someone powerful is backing him, as long as we are careful, we might be able to even make a deal with them," Feasting on a disgustingly large piece of meat, he said.

"I have been in this business for five years now, and I know everyone who is pretending to be a saint either has psycho or sicko inside them,"

He knew that his activities were causing irreparable damage to the humans, but he didn't care. All he cared about was lining his pockets with as much money as possible, no matter the cost.

But his reign of terror was about to come to an end. Little did he know, a group of assassins had been tracking his every move, and they were determined to take him down.

"Besides, look he was supposed to be the best mercenary in the kingdom, but he decided to support us for a stable supply of women," Pointing his hand at the silent man, who was silently looking outside, he said with a cheeky smile.

"Even the saints have something they need to have and this man here is proof of that,"

*Tsk

"Disgusting pig, keep your mouth shut and we will have a friendly relationship," Avoiding everyone's eyes, he just kept looking outside feeling weird.

He knew something was about to happen but he couldn't exactly pinpoint what. He didn't really care because he had confidence in his skills rather after all the battles he's gone through.

"No way! Wasn't he an exemplary commander in the former army,"

"Luck Bastio, one of the commoners who managed to rise up his rank and he was on the verge of getting a knighthood, but I heard he lost everything after that battle with the rebel army,"

All the lackeys in the room started talking among themselves annoying Luck, but he calmed down without even trying to retaliate with their words.

"This is strange!" Luck said while looking outside the window, but he was careful enough to not peek fully.

"This place should be populated even a little bit since it's connected to the market, but for a while now, I didn't spot anyone," Others didn't take his words seriously, because they started to question how is that even a problem until they heard some sounds in the basement, where captured humans and kids are restrained.

"Go and see what that sound is, and if they don't shut up their mouths, just kick them until they lose their consciousness, but don't put blemish marks on the faces,"

Their pig-like boss instructed them while asking Luck to calm down without trying to create more problems.
