"Father! Just get this farce over with and kill the kid! We've got an important guest comi-"
Behind the crowd and the stunned viscount, an extremely annoying voice was suddenly heard.
It was Ikeda Hiroshi, he and his father were inside the mansion and knew of the disturbance happening in front of their home.
They had been waiting for it to be resolved but then it took quite a while.
So the viscount went out, Hiroshi, knowing how his father handle things through his "talking " found it quite troublesome so he also went after his father to voice out his complain.
But the silence of the people in front of him had been very eerie!
-----
Eiji heard what the viscount had said.
He also saw him freeze up when he saw the head of one of the master level swordsman of his on the ground without a body.
Eiji also heard the sudden annoying voice that also shutted up when he arrived at the now silent area, instead of the arguing voices he normally should be hearing.
Eiji looked at him and took a small step forward and said slowly.
" Ikeda.... Hiroshi.."
"!!!"
There was no sudden eruption of anger.
No ki auras going berserk.
Neither were there any loud sound of the ground being stomped or broken.
Nor were any rustling of the wind.
Eiji just... Vanished!
He arrived in front of Ikeda Hiroshi silently and quickly!
"!!!"
The Viscount, the two Master level swordsmen, and the crowd who was staring at Eiji, suddenly widened their eyes as the young man in front of them vanished from their sights!
A chill ran towards the back of everybody!
Knowing especially those that had fought him earlier!
'Thi- This Speed!!!'
And the one that was scared the most was Ikeda Hiroshi!
He just came out and had been voicing out a complain when he saw the silent crowd, then suddenly a young man arrived in front of him!
*ZIIINNGG!
*SWOOOSHH!!
"AAHHRHG---!!!!!!!!"
*THUD! THUD!
*CLICK!
One swift strike!
Then a head rolled down the ground!
"..."
"..."
"N-NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone was silent. You could even heard the drop of a needle, but it was broken by the loud shout of anguish and anger by the viscount!
"NOOO!! NO! NO! MY SON! MYYY SOOONN!!!! MY SOOOONN!!!
HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU KILL MY SON!!! I SWEAR I WILL HAVE YOU KILLED! I WILL HAVE YOU KILLED!!
NO MATTER WHO THE HELL YOU ARE!!! I WIILLLLL HAAAVVVEE YYOOUUU KIILLLEEEDDD!!!!"
The viscount went hysterical as he clutched the head of his son.
Viscount Ikeda, despite looking in his thirties, was actually nearing sixty. Although he had been trained as a swordsman, it had been a long time ago, and the abuse of alcohol, drugs and pleasure had already made him lost the ability to make another child.
So his only inheritor was just Hiroshi, and he was a child he loved and spoiled so much!
But now...
*Tak! Tak! Tak!
Eiji walked towards the count slowly.
"STOP!!!"
The two master level swordmen, despite their fears, still defended the viscount.
As a swordsman, they valued loyalty and devotion very much.
Unless you were a spy from the start, a swordsman would always die to protect the one they had vowed their loyalty to!
" It began because of him... This ends because of him."
Eiji looked at the viscount who was full of blood and on the ground, trembling from fear.
Even so, he still shouted back.
"END!? YOU THINK THIS IS THE END?! THIS IS JUST THE START! I WILL MAKE SURE YOU SUFFER! I WILL NOT JUST HAVE YOU KILLED! YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND LOVE WILL DIE!!!"
The Viscount shouted with a course voice.
Eiji frowned.
'This man won't stop... So... I just need to stop him now...'
Thinking so Eiji walked towards the three people in front of him.
*CLICK!
His left hand on his katana.
The two swordsmen who was already on their stance and pointing their swords at Eiji, and even the viscount looked with wide eyes and fear as Eiji approached them.
But then..
"STOP!! What the hell is happening here!!"
Then a loud voice was heard as a large number of swordsmen came rushing at the scene and circling around them!
In their armors was the silver swirling sign of the kingdom then beside it was an image of a boat and katana below it riding the waves, it was the sign of the Duke of the City of Breeze!
A man in an armor and a katana in his left waist arrived.
He was the Duke of Breeze City, Duke Takamura Iruka!
He looked at the scene with a frown.
Beside him was an old man being helped a young man in a golden breastplate.
Despite the obviously wierd atmosphere, the old man walked slowly with his cane while the young man remained unbothered by the scene and just helped the old man.
Eiji looked at the Duke and the Old man.
He knew that he won't be able to continue what he was about to do.
He stepped forward and was about to bow when he heard another loud shout.
"EIJI!!!!"
* End Of Chapter.
