The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 329 - Great Swift Bandits

Souta looked around and said, "Let’s get out of here. A lot of people are watching us."

The two looked around and saw that a lot of people were watching them. They could only nod at Souta as they knew that they’ve gathered a lot of attention.

"I understand. Let’s get out of here."

Lynn who was in the crowd slowly move and followed them.

...

Inside a pub quite far from their place where they fought the six D-ranks, Souta’s group and the two C-ranks occupied a table.

"Once again. I’m going to thank you for saving us, young man." The old man stood up and bowed his head in front of Souta.

"Thank you for saving us." The other man followed his elder and bowed his head in front of Souta.

"It’s nothing..." Souta waved his hand and asked, "Still, I wanted to know why are you fighting those people. Did you not know that this city is a city of criminals? Almost all the people that are living here are bandits or thieves."

The two looked at each other. After a while, the old man nodded and began to speak. "We’re going to introduce ourselves first. I’m Jocklen, I’m an experienced swordsman. The young man here is Tans, a swordsman like me."

"Well, I’m going to introduce myself too. I’m Ieshi Souta. Ieshi is my last name and Souta is my first name. You can call me Souta. I prefer it if you call me that." Souta said to them.

"Hello, I’m Lynn Yaoli. You can call me Lynn." Lynn said shyly as she waved her hand.

"I and Tans were part of a mercenary group called Jaden Wind," Jocklen said in a gloomy tone.

"Were?" Lynn looked at them.

Tans nodded at her and added, "Yes, but that group is gone. Out of fourteen members of the group, Jocklen and I are the only ones alive."

Lynn covered her mouth and was surprised by what he revealed. Before she could ask what happened to his comrades, Jocklen opened his mouth and said, "One day while we’re in the middle of a mission, that group appeared before us. They were injured and we gave them some of our potions but we didn’t think that some of them were hiding in the bushes. They caught us off guard and quickly killed our leader, Jaden."

"You can guess what happened after that... Everyone was killed and we’re the only ones who managed to escape." Tans added while looking at them with a serious tone.

He tightly clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with hatred.

"How could they do that?" Lynn said quietly as she felt pity towards the two who lost their comrades.

A hand stretched out and patted her head. She turned over and saw that it was Souta.

Souta shook his head and said, "That’s why don’t be kind to anyone. Don’t easily trust people you met in the wilderness. Observe and examine your surrounding."

Lynn lowered her head. "I know." She said with a faint smile. She knew that Souta was warning her so that she wouldn’t end up like them.

"I understand your situation now... but I don’t think you can defeat that group of bandits with your current strength. If I’m not there, the two of you would be dead at this moment." Souta said to them.

"That...? I’m at fault. Jocklen didn’t do anything wrong. When I saw those people, I couldn’t control my anger." Tans said while clenching his fist.

"So what you will do now? You know that the two of you can’t take care of that bandits..." Souta said as he leaned back while observing the reactions of the two.

"I..." Tans lowered his head.

’It seems that I will not get any quest from this person... Too bad.’ Souta sighed inwardly. He accepted the fact that he wouldn’t be able to trigger any quest in this city.

"We can’t fight them on our own, Tans. You have to decide what we should do." Jocklen said to his comrade.

Suddenly, the door of the pub was slammed open. A group of people with intimidating aura walked inside the pub.

"That’s them, brother!"

"They are the ones who offend the Great Swift Bandits!"

The group was armed with sharp weapons as they focused their attention on Souta’s table.

The other people in the pub stood up and give way to the Great Swift Bandits. They were going to watch this show from the sideline.

Souta glanced at them and thought that he shouldn’t involve himself in this problem if he wouldn’t trigger a quest. He could easily finish this group of third-rates but he doesn’t want to waste his time if he wasn’t going to receive anything.

Jocklen and Tans stood up as they looked at the Great Swift Bandits. They quickly pulled out their weapons and prepared themselves for the incoming battle.

"Tans, think about what can you do?" Jocklen said to Tans without looking away at the bandits.

"Jocklen, we could only fight right now." Tans replied to him. He tightly clenched his fingers around the handle of his sword. He was ready to pounce at his enemies at any moment.

"Oho, these guys wanted to fight back..." One of the bandits said with a laugh.

"There’s nothing you can do against us. We’re the Great Swift Bandits and we’re quite famous in this city." Another bandit said.

They laughed and mocked Jocklen and Tans. They didn’t think that these two could pose a problem to them. Just two C-rank couldn’t give them danger.

Suddenly, they noticed Souta and Lynn were still sitting behind the two. It seems that these two were with Jocklen and Tans. If that’s the case then they wouldn’t let these two go.

"Brother, that woman is quite a beauty." One of them said while pointing at Lynn.

"Ehe~"

They approached the table but Jocklen and Tans blocked their way.

"Hey, move away if you don’t want to die." One of the bandits said to Tans’ face.

"Leave them alone..." Tans slowly said.

The two groups were only one foot away to each other. The atmosphere was getting intense and wilder.

The audience was anticipating a good battle.

"How can I leave that chick alone?" The bandits asked with a faint smile on his face.

"She’s not alone." Tans didn’t back down. He was glaring at the bandits with sharp eyes.

"You except that small boy to satisfy her in bed. I’m experienced and I think I would be able to make her feel good than that small bo... Argh!"

Before the bandit could finish his words he was blown away and crashed on the walls.

Bang!

The bandit spat a mouthful of blood as his body was embedded on the walls. His bones were crushed and he was suffering internal injuries.

"Don’t mock Souta in front of me!! I’ll never forgive anyone who mocked my leader!!"

Souta slowly turned his head at his side and looked at Lynn with wide eyes. He was shocked by her outburst as he didn’t expect it at all.

Lynn was glaring at the group of bandits as her energy was seeping out of her body. She was red in anger. She could tolerate it if those people mock her but if they mocked her love ones, then she wouldn’t be able to control her emotions.

The bandits stepped back as they felt the energy that was oozing out of her body. They were shocked and scared at the same time. The aura that she was releasing surpassed that of the C-rank expert.

Jocklen and Tans were shocked too.

It was Souta’s first time seeing her like this. Usually, she was kind and shy but right now, she was brimming in anger.

Seeing this side of her wasn’t that bad.

Souta smiled and he stood up. He drunk a glass of wine before he stretched out his hands and patted Lynn’s head.

"Control your emotion. Don’t let it show on your face as your enemy can take advantage of it." Souta said to her before he turned around and looked at the group of bandits.

"But they are..." Lynn said as she lowered her head.

"It’s fine to get angry. Just don’t let it control your actions. You know... I’m angry too as they are making light of you but I didn’t show it in my face. They thought that I’m calm but I want to kill them at this moment." Souta said while looking at the bandits one by one.

He took a step forward as his mana burst out of his body. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Lynn, close your eyes. I’m going to finish this in an instant."

"O-Okay..." Lynn closed her eyes as she realized what Souta was going to do.

Souta placed his hand on the handle of the vajra sword. "Jocklen, Tans, can you step back for a while. I’m going to finish these guys who dared to provoke me."

Tans and Jocklen subconsciously took a step back. They didn’t know why but Souta’s words carried weight.
