Chapter 8: Kanski’s revenge (Bonus chapter yay!)
At night at the territory of Baron Aaden.
"What do you mean you can't figure out where the other assassins went!!" A fat Baron who was sitting in his office threw his cup of wine at the servant.
"But sir, whenever you send assassins to that girl, they disappeared mysteriously. Why not give up on her?" The servant suggested.
"GIVE UP!? Look into my eyes and say that to me again!" Aaden grabbed the servant's shirt and pointed at his eyes.
"Send more people to kidnap her. I don't care if we lose more men. Failure is unforgivable!" He threw the servant to the ground and the servant left with a wine stain on his shirt.
After sitting down, the Baron calmed his mind as he wondered who he should have s*x with tonight to relieve his stress as he played with a ring in his hand.
'So many toys, maybe I should use them all' He mused but a ruckus from outside the doors made him snap out of his daydream.
"Hey, what's going on out there?" Annoyed, he stood and started walking towards the door.
Mysteriously, the doors opened as the head of one of his guards rolled inside the room.
The scene scared him as a figure from beyond the door slowly walked in.
"Well…well…well, hello again, Baron." Kanski who wore a mask slowly walked towards him along with a slow clap.
"Guards! Intruder alert! Get him!" Baron shouted but there was no response.
"All of your guards are dead. I killed them all, and there is no one else left except me and you, Baron." A sinister grin grew from Kanski's face.
The baron's face worsened as he slowly backed to his table.
"Look, you want money? Women? Fame? If we have any conflict between us, we can solve it peacefully. T-there is no need for violence." Baron tried to negotiate with Kanski.
"Ha ha Ahahaha, that's the funniest joke I've heard in a while. Recognize me, Baron?" Kanski removed his face mask revealing his hidden grin and black hair.
"You're that girl's-!"
"-Yes I'm her brother, and I'm here to get her back." Kanski drew a dagger from his back and rushed toward the Baron.
"Hah!" Before Kanski stab could reach Baron, his ring shone and Kanski ceased his movement as his eyes became dull.
"Huhuhu Hahaha, you thought you had the upper hands, didn't you?" The Baron showed the glowing ring in his hand.
"This Ring of Absolute Command can control anyone with a thought, now you're here to retrieve your sister, right? Here, let me guide you to your beloved sister."
The Baron exited his room, passing through many corpses, and they entered a basement.
Inside were many young women, trapped in jail cells. As soon as they saw the Baron, all of their eyes became hostile as they backed away from him.
All of them looked well-fed, but some had whip scars on their body.
They eventually stopped at a jail cell where a woman with black hair slept facing the wall.
"Wake up!" The Baron punched the jail cell waking her up.
"Your dear brother is here to see you"
"Brother?" She turned to see Kanski who was motionlessly standing beside the Baron.
"KANSKI! What did you do to him!?" She rushed to the jail walls, and her stunning beauty came into view, with crystal blue eyes, and a beautiful face and body, it's no wonder why The Baron kidnapped her.
"He's here to see you. What a lovely family reunion we have here!"
"He said he wanted to do a performance for you, didn't you say so, friend?" The Baron nudged Kanski.
"Yes," Kanski emotionlessly replied.
"Please, leave him alone, you can use my body however you want. Just, please. Don't do anything to my brother!" Tears welled up in her eyes, and with each sentences, she slowly collapsed to the ground.
An evil grin grew on the Baron's face as he turned towards Kanski.
"Kill yourself in front of your dear sister."
"NO!!"
Without hesitation, Kanski drew a knife from his back pocket.
As the situation unfolds, a red flash appeared, slashing the Baron's hand.
The ring in the severed hand dimmed, stopping Kanski's attempt at committing suicide at a hair's breath.
Kanski's eyes became vibrant once more as cold sweat started to build in his hand and head.
"You know, you could have saved me sooner, right? Phew that was close…" Kanski wiped his cold sweat as the usual carefree smile grew on his face but there was a hint of sinisterness in that smile.
As the Baron was momentarily stunned by the sudden situation, he started coming back to reality once the pain was felt. Gripping his arm, he screamed in pain.
Blade, who finally decided to reveal herself, descended from the stairs of the basement.
As if she had fallen from the thrones of gods and graced the mortal land, her stride contained a hint of elegance as her tail wiggled at every step.
As she passed from one jail cell to another, the locks fell to the ground, causing the metal doors to open.
Finally arriving beside Kanski, the lock of Kanski's sister's jail cell was destroyed, expressing her shock.
Kanski grabbed the Baron who was squealing like a pig by the neck, then threw him into the jail.
"If you want revenge, here's your chance." Kanski's words were the last thing the kidnapped girls heard as they all turned their heads to the squealing Baron.
In the jail cell, while wriggling around the dirty floor in pain like a worm, he stopped moving as his back felt like it was being pierced by seas of glares. The next moment, everyone rushed to him, punching, biting, kicking him with all their might at every part of his body.
Not minding the scene, Kanski turned to his sister and hugged her.
"Sister, I missed you." Tears welled in his eyes as he hugged tighter.
"I missed you too brother." She gently wrapped her arms around him and patted his head.
After 5 minutes of non-stop crying, Kanski stopped his sobbing and turned to Blade who was watching the Baron pig being eaten by a lot of women, though in a literal sense.
"Sorry to see me in this sorry state, I will handle the cleaning. You can meet me tomorrow at the usual spot." Not answering him, she summoned The Dimension Severer, opened a rift leading to her bedroom, then closed it.
"Who is she?" Kanski's sister asked.
"A customer of mine, and the next target for the Baron."
"Heh, serves him right. I knew he would eventually anger a powerhouse someday. Wait, you run a store?"
"An Inn to be exact, but I don't need it anymore as it has completed its purpose."
~~
After resting, Blade went downstairs intending to buy more clothes than the one pair she had gotten 3 days ago, it was getting dirty as it had not been washed because she had no replacement to wear.
"Ah, Little Foxy." Kanski, in his usual spot, had a brighter smile than usual.
"Thanks to you, I managed to get my sister back, and this inn has served its purpose. So as a reward, I decided to give this land to you." Kanski placed a paper on the table.
"You can renovate this inn, make it your house, or turn it into a store, do what you like with it." The paper has a wax seal at the bottom, though she can't read the content.
"I've already handled most of the paperwork." Kanski rose from his seat, turning to exit the door before saying something.
"Oh, if you're ever in your aestus period, you can look for me in District 4, I will relieve it for you, no strings attached." Leaving with a flirty smile, his mysterious words confused Blade but he didn't elaborate any further, leaving the inn with the paper on the table.
"Aestus period?"
Kanski who was walking home suddenly thought out loud.
"Ah, I haven't asked for her name yet, whoopsie." Too lazy to go back and ask her he decided to head home immediately to spend time with his lovely sister.
