Executioner loyd picked up the whole table and threw it at Simon. Simon slid Beneath it and threw his dagger towards the running loyd, loyd dodged to the side and kept running as fast as he could.
Suddenly Simon pulled out a blue charm and a strong wind swept into the room causing the windows to shut closed and loyd to be pushed back.
Using loyd's stunned state Simon went and grabbed his dagger which was stuck in the wall and pulled it out.
"Scared are you? Come on! I thought you were an executioner! Or is the Zmanger gang just too afraid?"
Simon's lips curled up into a smile as he tried instigating loyd.
Loyd forehead veins bulged as he gripped his own dagger. Neither chose to bring a gun in order to not cause a ruckus and wake up any neighbours.
"Come on, Zmanger bitch!"
Loyd finally snapped went in for a flash only to be met with a clash. Unlike Loyd, Simon was ready for a fight. Loyd expected to come in, kill Leon and escape smoothly.
But now that whole plan was thrown out the window. Fortunately for Simon, Loyd was quiet a rash guy who thought he was smart. Being an sequence 8 instigator, Simon knew that Loyd was incredibly angry
"Go to hell!"
Loyd reached out trying to grab Simon with great speed. Then the Blue charm in Simon's hand glew blue and another wind swept past the room, causing loyd to stagger and allow Simon to dodge once more.
"Aren't you a hunter? You should have been able to sense the danger!"
Loyd reached for the cupboard and took out some plates which he began throwing. Simon somersaulted away and used Shadow Concealment to hide in the darkness. While loyd relied on his danger intuition heightened senses, Simon could easily see through the darkness.
Thud, Thud Thud!
Noises came from every single spot in the living room and kitchen. The charm in Simon's hand was called a wind charm, it could generate winds up to 30 kilometers per hour in a 10 meter radius. Of course the user could change the distance and power of the wind.
Fwoosh!
Loyd leaped to the side when he heard the sound of something fly past his left ear, he thought it was a blade. His face instantly scrunched up when he reached for his thigh and felt the knife that stuck on his thigh.
He was fooled!
Simon used the wind charm to simulate the sound of a object flying past someone's ear, and naturally loyd believed it to be a dagger. Simon felt the change in loyd's emotions which changed from anger to fear.
Loyd heard footsteps rapidly approaching and began to wildly swing his weapon.
"G-get away from me bastard!" Loyd shouted at the top of his lungs and jumped over the kitchen counter. When he made contact with the ground he felt the pain in his thigh double.
"Im sorry, but some lives are more important than yours. Lives i want to protect. Ive dealt with countless bastards like you. Let me give you a tip, next time you want to kill someone, prepare yourself will you?"
...
Leon was woken up by the morning Sundays and instantly rushed for the door. When he opened it he found the entire room to be a mess.
This...
Leon was actually awake during the whole fight that took place last night.
I apologise mr isaac.
The first thing leon did was take his belongings and left out the window while no one was around.
He decided to first go back to brown bird alley and talk to Simon.
Aren't I relying on him too much? Hes kinda like a father to me though. Hes the reason Loyd isn't dead on the street.
There was alot more fog than last day and it was also around 16 degrees. So leon went and bought a coat for about 7 Soli before going to brown bird alley. A place hes very familiar with. While walking there he grabbed the backlund morning post and read through some news. Leon could only speak Loenese, as his parents didn't get much education, neither did he. His father worked at a factory and his mother was a maid.
"Boss, i need a new identity"
Simon nodded and got up
"I was waiting for fhe day you would ask. Dont worry, ill pay for it."
Hes really like a dad sometimes.
Leon and Simon left the building and began walking along the road.
"3 members of the reaper gang died yesterday night."
Has the war started already?
"Who was it?"
Leon asked as though he didn't know.
"East borough tigers. Apparently the Reapers left the body of a east borough tigers on the front door like a present. I suspect there will be a war between them. We will have to choose a side"
As he said, there's no such thing a lonewolf out here, unless you have a death wish or are extremely lucky.
Simon stopped before a 3 floor building and cleared his throat before muttering: "take off the mask"
Suddenly a blue door made of pure light outlined itself and Simon pushed Leon inside. Bright flashes of light flashed in Leon's eyes as he suddenly appeared in some kind of room. The floor had a checkered pattern and there were pews lined about like a church. There were a few people sitting about. There was a front desk similar to a teller counter with a man sitting behind it. He was wearing a black tailcoat and had pitch black hair.
"Everyone here is a beyonder"
Simon said in passing as he began walking. Leon took in the room and saw something strange. There was a cat on one of the pews staring at him intently with an unwavering gaze. There was also a dog that looked like a german shepherd.
These animals... don't tell me an animal can become a beyonder aswell?!
As they took their seat a small piece of paper flew past the front desk and landed in Leon's hand. It had a number written on it in Loenese. The number 17.
I wonder how long the wait is.
It was about 10 minutes. Leon was soon called out by his number and approached the front desk with Simon behind him.
"name, birth date, place of birth?"
The man from behind the desk had the deepest voice Leon has heard in his life.
"Leon-"
Before Leon could finish Simon shook his head and said:
"Your new identity"
Leon's eyes widened since he felt a bit of embarrassment.
"Edward Morgan, August 10 1329, i was born in the Capital of Lenburg, Azshara."
After the new identity was finished Leon was handed the identification papers that looked exactly like the real thing.
"There's basically no way for someone to find out this is fake..."
He left with Simon and the blue door behind them dissapeared.
"Who was that?" Leon asked.
"Im not sure, I never asked. All i know is that he's a beyonder of the Apprentice pathway. People from all over the world come to him to get faked identities. He also makes a living off of language comprehension charms. Dont worry, hes a trustable guy"
The two began walking away together.
"Your next mission is gonna be with Arthur, and its gonna be your last one. I need the two of you to steal the unwinged revolver from the zmanger gang."
That must be the red revolver I had to trade yesterday.
"After this you will get the potion formulas. They took the revolver to Row Leaf street. You and Arthur will sneak into a old storage building and steal it away. This must be done tonight.
Thankfully, Leon had explored almost all of east borough so he was basically a walking map. He had spent his whole life here after all.
...
Tick, tick.
Arthur's clock ticked away while he stared at the old storage building made from red bricks. Row Leaf street belonged to the Zmanger gang so the place was crawling with gangsters.
BANG! BANG!
But it was between a east borough tiger street and a reaper street. So the chances of being caught in a crossfire were huge, this could also serve as a distraction.
"Are you ready?" Arthur turned to Leon who was crouching behind him. The two of them were tucked away in an alley infront of the building. There wasn't anyone guarding the front.
The two began moving. They scaled up a building and leaped onto the old storage building. They parkoured across the walls and finally got to a window which Arthur lock picked and got inside. Leon followed closely as they walked inside and gently stepped onto the yawning on the second floor overlooking the first floor where men were gathered around.
This place doesnt look that bad from the outside, but the inside is different.
The wooden floorboard looked almost rotten and there was alot of black mold.
