With the sun hanging above the sky, bearing heat to all, the three, Eiji, Akai and Marco, were like ghosts as they ran past through the houses and alleyways in the city.
Because it was a Port city, there were a lot of breeze and strong winds that would occasionally come and go, so for the poeple of Storm city, a sudden gusts of winds are norm.
So they did not feel anything suspicious about the sudden bursts of winds passing by!
Right now, the three of them are looking out for the next potential victim!
As the Count became ballistic and bold in his actions, they even kidnapped people in broad daylight!
So the streets were also kind of barren and even the docks had a lot of boats, as the fishermen were afraid of going into the sea as they might encounter the people of the count disguised as pirates!
*Swoosh!!
*Baanngg!!
"AAAHHHH!!! HEEELLPP!! HEELPP!!!!"
Suddenly, they heard a loud crashing sound and a cry of help.
*Swoosh!!!
Without hesitation, the three of them ran towards the sound and were just in time to see two men in black with a cover in their faces dragging a woman by her hair and the other, a child that was unconscious!
The child should have been forcefully taken out as she was bleeding from her head!
"THESE BASTARDS!!!"
*SWOOSHH!!!
With a swift motion, Eiji with full of anger used his quick draw technique and instantly beheaded one of the assailants!
*SWOOSH!!
"Eiji! WAIT!!"
But just before he could behead the other one, Akai shouted for him to stop!
*BANNNG!!
The other assailant still has no idea what had happened when Marco arrived in front of him and kicked him in the stomach making him fly in the air!
"Eiji! Listen!!! We still need to know where rhey are keeping the kidnapped people!!"
"Haaahh!! Haaahh!! Right!!"
Eiji took deep breaths and calmed down when he heard Akai's words.
The sight of the woman and the child reminded him of his past and he just attacked instinctively!
Right now, three houses and a tree infront of them were cut in half by his silvery ki just now! A testament as how angry and powerful his attack had been!
Had the woman been standing up or the assailant that survived was the first person he attacked, they would've been dead by now!
Akai and Marco who subdued the other assailant looked on the aftermath of Eiji's attack and couldn't help but gulp!
The first time they had seen this silvery ki was from the time 4 years ago! And then there were other times when Eiji bursts out in anger just like this in their missions, they might have been suspicious the first time, but by now, they knew, Eiji had it!
That legendary intent!
But since he had been suppressing himself and keeping it a secret, they didn't talk about it nor they dared to!
That was why when they had a three way battle, the two of them would always, halfway through the fight, would gang up on Eiji making it a two versus one!
The outcome was quite obvious though, with Eiji holding back, he would be the first one to be eliminated!
---
Seeing that Eiji had calmed down, they took the now fainted woman and the child back with them along with their now 'guide'!
The IAI Department still hasn't been able to know where the kidnapped people were being imprisoned.
They had already spied inside the count's mansion but they weren't there, and they couldn't exactly follow the Count as he had been in the hide for a while and has alot of guards around him, and that person from the Sword Of Freedom, was a master level!
Their perceptions were very much higher than the guys from the IAI Department who were just elites!
Now that they caught someone working for them, the three of them entrusted the interrogation to the IAI Department who were expert with these type of things.
---
Then half a day passed by, the person from the IAI Department then went to their room as he gave them another scroll of information from the interrogated person!
This time, Marco read the information.
"That guy doesnt know where they hid the people, but they have someplace where they meet and this was in the mountain side of the forest.
The IAI Department thinks that the place they hid the people should be around this area!"
Marco pointed at the map drawn in the scroll.
Akai and Eiji looked at the map.
"Then it should be beside this small river, from what the map indicates, this place has more of a rocky side than the other which was sloped and full of vines and trees.
If they hid them underground hastily, this is the place where they could create one fast!"
Akai analyzed.
"It's just about 7 in the evening, and from the previous reports, the Count has been hiding all this time when we are coming here, so there should be a high chance that he is there, so we should attack now!"
Eiji told them calmly.
Marco and Akai both nodded.
Then the three of them started to walk out their room and put their hoods back on!
They had already prepared since the start of the interrogation, so all they need to do now is just to go!
*End Of Chapter.
