During the rapid fall, Kieran didn't panic at all. He was quietly observing Great Swamp while using his index finger to rub the bronze ring with feathers embedded on it.
[Floating Ring]!
A formless energy instantly lifted Kieran up and slowly brought him down.
Great Swamp, on the other hand, didn't stop falling until he almost touched the ground. Then, he stopped abruptly and stood firmly on the ground.
However, Great Swamp's face was extremely ugly at the moment.
"Someone broke into this place without my knowledge."
"2567, we need to split into two groups!"
I'll use my spells to locate the enemies hiding in this city, you head straight to the castellan mansion.
Wait for me for an hour, I'll meet you there in an hour at most! "
As Great Swamp spoke, he shot towards the city like an arrow released from a bow.
Within a breath's time, Great Swamp vanished.
Kieran squinted his eyes as he looked at the direction where Great Swamp disappeared.
Too many!
Too many openings!
But …
Kieran picked up the scent of great rewards.
Huu!
He took in a deep breath and started to carefully move along the wall, slowly approaching the city walls further away.
After passing through a shadow, Kieran's moving posture didn't change but somehow, his face showed a sense of pride.
At the same time, in a certain corner of Flame City, the sleepy Sloth was forced to open his eyes.
"Troublesome."
He muttered softly but his movements weren't slow at all.
He quickly headed towards the direction Kieran gave him.
…
"Idiot!"
Kairi scolded Kray.
Even though Kray was his only partner at the moment, or a partner that he had to rely on, it didn't stop Kairi's rage from burning.
How stupid was Kairi to let Kray spill the beans in two to three moves?
"I'm sorry, Kairi.
I … "
Kray wanted to explain but he couldn't utter a word with his opened mouth.
The words of apology sounded extremely weak at the moment.
He couldn't think of any way to salvage the situation.
He could only stare blankly at Kairi.
"I know that you want to say that Rufford is our original boss and that he knows everything about you and your habits, but I'm not asking too much from you. You can totally remain silent, complete the task that I've given you, and then return here!"
"What about you?"
"You can't even compare to a child!"
"You know, even a child would understand that it's best to guard your candy and not give it to others!"
Carey clenched his teeth, his voice squeezing out.
Kairi really wanted to pick up his gun and blast a hole in Kray's head.
In the end, he started to pack his backpack.
"Carey, you?"
"Run!"
"At this point, we have no way of turning back. We can only run!"
"Also, I will not be with you!"
"Because if I'm with you, I'm worried that I'll be …"
Thump, thump thump!
A knock on the door interrupted Carey's words.
Kairi instinctively took out his gun.
"Who?"
Carey asked in a low voice.
"Open the door, it's me."
Footer's voice came from outside the door.
Kairi didn't think he would mistake the familiar voice. Almost out of instinct, Kairi glared at Kray angrily.
He thought it was Kray, the idiot, who spilled out their hiding spot.
Kray quickly waved his hand, expressing his innocence.
What he got in return was Kairi's glare.
Then, Kairi walked to the door.
It seemed like it was too late to turn back now.
Kairi didn't think about running anymore.
He knew Rutherford's habits very well. He knew that his current hiding place was surrounded heavily. It was impossible for him and Clay to escape with just the two of them.
But …
There was still a chance!
Kairi held his gun on the door and opened the door with the other. The safety pin was in front of Kairi's eyes but it didn't stop him from seeing Footer's face.
Just one person?
Kairi was stunned when he saw Footer standing alone outside the door.
The scene before his eyes was a little different from what Kairi expected.
Based on his impression, Footer would always bring a big group of men to this kind of situation. It was to overwhelm his opponent and also to show off his strength to others.
Especially after consuming the secret potion, Footer was eager to show off his strength every second.
"Move the gun away."
The tall and buff Footer looked at Kairi who was in a daze before turning his eyes to the door.
It wasn't any outstanding instinct, it was just a habit that he had developed over the years. It made him feel that Kairi's way of opening the door was a little weird.
However, it didn't enrage Footer.
He knew exactly why he had come here.
It wasn't himself.
It was that lord.
After hearing Footer's words, Kairi unconsciously moved the gun away and removed the safety pin. When Footer walked into the room, Kairi came back to his senses.
'What just happened?
Why should I listen to him? '
Kairi raised his gun at Footer again.
"Is this the benefit of the potion?"
Kairi laughed coldly.
Then, he kept signalling Kray with his eyes.
At that moment, Kairi finally understood why Kray fell for Footer's trick so easily. Footer had borrowed power that didn't belong to a common man.
However, Kairi wasn't envious of such power.
He knew what kind of price one had to pay to acquire such power.
His boss had clearly said it before.
"Mm.
Put the gun down, I don't mean any hostility. If I wanted to kill you all, I wouldn't have spent so much effort.
Besides, we are on the same boat. "
Footer sat down on the sofa and said calmly.
"On the same boat?"
Kairi laughed coldly again.
He didn't believe what Footer said.
"That's right. Judging from the current situation, we are all serving that lord.
That lord is the Ethan you all know.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, he has another name … "
"Bird of Death!"
Footer explained.
"Stop joking!
Do you think I'm an idiot? "
Kairi shouted.
He had imagined more than once that the rumor was true, that Boss Ethan was the Bird of Death.
However, when someone told him about it, Kairi didn't believe it at all.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door again.
Dok, Dok, Dok.
The rhythmic knocks on the door were mixed with incessant grumbling.
"Troublesome.
Why do I have to do this kind of troublesome work?
"Shouldn't I be sleeping?"
Rest is the right thing to do.
