Chang!

Members of the Iron Blood Knights drew their swords immediately after my words, and the other knights came to their senses a beat later.

Standing on either side of me, Asher and the Iron Blood Knight Commander also fixed their eyes on the woman with their swords in their hands.

Soon, all the knights who were filling the arena were aiming their swords at her.

“Uh, huh, huh? Whoa!”

The other administrators standing next to the woman stood dazed and then backed away in fright.

She looked around with a look of total bewilderment and suddenly raised her hand.

“Excuse me.”

It seemed like she had something to say.

She opened her mouth with a serious face.

“Does anyone know? What’s on the lunch menu today?”

“···”

However, the words that followed were incomprehensible nonsense that did not fit the situation at all.

The knights also looked at her with eyes wondering what kind of bullshit this was all of a sudden.

I clicked my tongue a little.

That woman.

That was just meaningless nonsense to distract the knights, even for a moment.

And what followed immediately…

Whoa!

A mist suddenly spewed from her body and covered the whole area in an instant.

Even though the sun was up in the middle of the sky, the pitch-black fog was so dense that no light came through.

“…The spy is on the run! Catch her!”

Someone shouted, but the knights surrounded by fog were just wandering around inside.

At that, Asher and the Iron Blood Knight Commander immediately jumped into the arena and swung their swords at the same time.

A huge two-pronged sword wind parted the fog and their vision returned.

But the woman’s figure was nowhere to be found.

Even Asher couldn’t feel her presence and where she had fled. I looked around with my eyes narrowed and maximized my super sensory.

Because I knew what her abilities were.

And soon my senses caught up with her. Sensing her, who was quickly moving away while hiding herself.

She’s so damn fast.

I immediately used Space Leap in succession to move into the air on one side of the arena, and I spread the floating veil.

She collided with my veil, which blocked her, and then fell straight down.

“Argh…”

Before she could return to her senses, a sword was already pointing at her neck.

Asher, who had caught up with her, coldly looked down at her as she collapsed on the floor.

The knights then completely surrounded the place and blocked the escape routes with no chance of escape.

She smiled subserviently with a slightly pale face and slowly raised her hands.

“Ha, surrender. I surrender.”

Landing on the floor, I let out a small sigh as I watched the situation ended.

I ignored the burdensome gazes of the knights, who were looking at me with eyes filled with awe.

Shadow.

So, what the hell was this woman doing here?

***

After sorting out the situation, Asher and I dragged the woman to my room.

After letting her sit on the other side of the table, I quietly sat across from her.

I said as I watched her looked around.

“No matter what tricks you do, it’s impossible to escape, Shadow.”

“…”

“It’s useless to use that mystery to hide yourself. If you try to escape again, I’ll cut your throat right then, so give up.”

The reason even Asher couldn’t catch her in the black mist was because of her stealth mystery.

I had super sensory, so I could apprehend her while she’s running away.

She probably did not expect that I had discovered her true identity and abilities. She looked at me with her eyebrows furrowed and then lowered her head.

“Ha, I got caught by a monster like this…”

She’s probably ready to have a conversation now.

I crossed my arms and asked first.

“Who sent you?”

Shadow Freon.

If one was to pick a unique existence on this continent, this woman would probably count as one.

As the continent’s best informant and thief, she usually did espionage under anyone who could pay her well.

If it's a force that could move this woman, then they had limited options. I could roughly guess who it could be, though.

She asked with a half-resigned look.

“Will you save me if I tell you?”

“Tell me who it was first.”

“I can tell you, but I want to know what you will do to me once I do.”

“Then you can just die here. Asher.”

At my words, Asher, who was standing next to me, reached for the hilt of the sword at her waist.

Her mouth opened immediately.

“…Santea Imperial Family.”

T/N: I will open donations again, but only until Sunday (March 5, 11:59 PM Hong Kong time). Any donations that I will receive after that won't count towards the bonus chaps. ^^

Sorry if it's only temporarily. I'm afraid that I will be swamped by bonus chaps again if I opened it permanently. >
