Chapter 543 No Break
The others had been watching the entire time, leaving everything that was going on to Raze. He had a handle on the matter, and these were intruders that were after his sword.
So they thought he had every right to handle the situation, and thankfully Raze was stronger than those attacking him, so much so that if he wanted to, he could subdue every single one of them.
One had to be incredibly skillful or more powerful than their opponent to be able to do such a thing. Which was why, inside them, they were all a little shocked when they had witnessed what Raze had just done.
Immediately, Harbour slapped his forehead as he shook his head.
"He took out... the Crimson Crane member, this can't be good." Harbour mumbled to himself.
"Right." Anna replied, looking at the head on the ground, she was analyzing, making sure it really was the Crimson Crane member and everything was telling her it was.
"The current state of the clan has enough trouble as it is. If the Crimson Crane tracks down their member's last location, that will lead them to here and they will start to ask questions." Anna explained.
"Won't this be really bad for Raze then as well!" Charlotte said, holding onto the rail, gripping it tighter. "They might now be after him as well, giving us more enemies."
"That might not be the case." Anna said as she began to walk down the staircase. The rest decided to follow now that all the intruders were dealt with.
"After all, no one knows who was responsible for this apart from us. So they might never learn of who had done such a thing, but I think the clan will certainly chase after the individual." Anna explained.
"Which is why I thought he would at least spare the Crimson Crane member to make it easier on himself." Harbour added.
They had finally reached the bottom floor and were having a look at the rest of the Wanderers that had been part of the attack.
There was nothing noticeable on them, apart from Charlotte and Harbour finding quite a few pouches filled with gold coins.
Harbour took them and placed them right in his back pocket.
"It's because of you that this place was destroyed, so I only have some right to use these to finance the repairs." Harbour said, looking at the dead.
"I'm going to call some people to clear the area." Harbour mentioned. "I'll just say some people attacked, but for now, I think we should be a little careful."
With that said, while the room was being cleared, Charlotte and Anna had gathered once again in one of the reception rooms.
It was a library of sorts with seating areas and more all around them. Raze looked to be just sitting down, lost in his mind.
While Anna was picking up books, flicking through them before placing them back then. She was continually doing this with one book after the other.
"It is important to ask," Anna said as she picked up another book. "The fact that a member of the Crimson Crane was dealt with, is this something that I should mention to Himmy, or keep quiet about."
When asking this question it was directed to the current leader of the group, Charlotte.
"So many things have happened while he was away." Charlotte said, shaking her head and covering her eyes. "I thought so much had already occurred."
"Honestly, let's just keep it between us and not make this a big deal. Like Harbour said, no one knows about it, and no one knows that Raze has the special sword either."
"If Alter were to find out about the sword they would want to keep it for themselves as well... so it's best we don't link these things to Alter."
"Which means Raze, while you are a member of Alter, it would be best if you hide that sword. Otherwise, you might get other agents coming after you."
Raze understood that, and after learning of the effects of the Lux Sword, he certainly didn't want to give it away.
Just as the group were resting and were calm once again, Raze could pick up the sound of running. Just like before, bursting through the door, Harbour was there with his hands on his knees, out of breath almost.
Some wouldn't believe he was a middle stage warrior himself with how often he was out of breath when he came to see them, but that was just how desperate he was to deliver this message.
"Everyone, it might be best you get out of here... it's the Demonic Faction, they're attacking." Harbour said.
The group just couldn't get a break.
