There was a moment of hesitation that came from the boss when he saw where they were, but eventually he said in a dark voice, "Follow me."
The others didn't say anything as they followed closely behind the boss.
With the way that they held their tongues, it was as if they were afraid that making a single sound would draw unwanted attention to them.
It was as if they were afraid of drawing the attention of the boss.
Once they saw the secret exit, they immediately knew why the boss was so angry.
At the same time, they made sure that they were even more silent compared to before.
They just didn't want to draw his irk at all. After all, they knew just what kind of personality and temper their boss had. If they were to draw his attention, then it would be likely that they would lose their lives.
Once they were in the secret entrance, that was when they finally started taking things slowly.
The boss had been confident that he would be able to deal with the person that had snuck into their hideout, but now he was being more cautious. After all, this person had been able to find the secret exit that he had hidden from the rest of his group.
That meant that this person had some capabilities and he didn't want to be careless.
That was why he kicked two of his followers and said, "Go and scout out ahead."
As soon as they heard this, there were unwilling looks that appeared on the faces of these two followers.
But in the end, there wasn't anything that they could say when the boss glared at them.
So they had no choice but to follow his orders and scout out the exit.
Though they had no idea what they were looking for and they weren't familiar with this exit in the first place since it was an exit that had been hidden from them. The only thing that they could do was go slowly and hope that nothing happened.
"Ah!"
There were two screams of pain that came from in front of the main group.
When they caught up, they found that these two that had been sent ahead to scout were now lying on the ground in pools of their own blood. There were two arrows that were sticking out of the two of them as they laid there.
"Hmm, it seems like he's quite ruthless for a hero type. But then again, that's just how they act against people that they decide are villains." The boss said to himself while stroking his chin.
It was as if he was completely unbothered by the fact that two of his men were dead or the fact that there were traps that were waiting for them in this exit.
That was because…
"It's your turn now." He said while kicking two more of his followers.
The moment that they heard this, they immediately looked like they had just eaten sh*t.
After all, there were two examples of what could happen to them lying on the ground in pools of their own blood. With these examples placed in front of them, it was only natural that they wouldn't want to do this.
But there wasn't anything that they could say to the boss.
Seeing that they didn't want to do this, the boss just simply pulled his weapon. He didn't even pull his weapon out completely, he just showed them that it was at the ready.
That alone was enough to pressure them into moving forward.
Though they did move slowly at first and checked every single thing in front of them. It was clear that they didn't want to let themselves end up in the same situation as the ones on the ground in pools of their own blood.
But seeing them like this made the boss knit his brows.
The reason that he sent them ahead was to scout out the area in front of them, but how would they do that if they were going to go this slowly?
So he drew his weapon once more to threaten them.
When they saw this, they had no choice but to speed up.
"Ah!"
It didn't take long for two more screams of pain to come from the front.
The boss didn't hesitate to send two more people ahead.
Like this, they were able to clear out all the traps that had been left along the path. However, their numbers had been cut in half because they kept running into the traps.
The ones that the boss sent weren't that strong even though they were his close followers.
So they just couldn't do anything when they reached the traps.
But when he saw the traces ahead of him, that was when the boss finally stopped sending scouts forward and led the way himself.
"They're just ahead now. How could he travel quickly with all those women holding him back?"
Just as the boss said, it didn't take long for them to see a group of people in front of them. When they saw them, they could hear the gasps of shock and panic coming from them.
These were clearly from the women that had been saved.
"Surrender now or you'll all die!" The boss shouted at them as soon as he saw them.
There were some that slowed down, but they kept moving in the end.
The boss didn't hesitate to charge forward, but he also grabbed one of his followers.
After taking a few steps forward, he suddenly threw that follower in front of him.
There were several arrows that came from all different directions that stabbed into that follower.
The boss had already noticed these traps and threw the follower right in the path of these arrows.
"Ha, ha, ha, what do you have now?"
"As expected of the one with the moniker of butcher, you don't even spare your own men."
As soon as this voice rang out, Shaka the Butcher turned in that direction and threw out a dagger.
