"How do you want to go on about this, Servants of the Hood." The man said to the 5 hooded figures.
"shit, boss, this guys at the Dark-Gold stage." The leader looked onto the man. This was a match they could not win.
"If you wont make a move..." All of the sudden, all 5 hooded figures were blasted by an invisible force. Causing them to spew out saliva.
"Allow me..." All 5 were then pulled by the man through Qi. Their bodies suddenly tied around rope.
Ernest looked in shock at this, but also inwardly quite scared.
'He just did that no sweat!'
A mysterious wind blew, as the hooded figures were finally uncovered.
The leader had Black hair, his eyes were fierce and his body was quite small.
There were 2 with White hair, and another two with Red Hair.
Ernest was weirded out by this. 'What the heck is with those hair color.'
"Why were you targetting this young man?" The man asked with a voice that demanded answers.
'Okay but like, are you not weirded out by their hair.' Ernest continued staring at their hair.
The leader looked towards the old man and remained still.
"We will not answer."
The Man in aesthetic robes sighed, as he pulled out a Spell Card.
'wait, thats an Obediance Card.' Ernest saw the man activate the Card. The leader was stunned for a few moments before his eyes lost color and he began to drool in a daze.
"Now... Tell me why you were targetting this young man."
"Target... Because... Paid..." The leader said. The other 4 began to sweat, as they looked onto the others eyes in some sort of mental communication.
"Who paid you, and why."
"Paid... By... Unknown... Clan... Because... They... Wanted... Child."
'That made... More questions.'
Ernest finally had enough confidence to speak.
"Savior... What is your name." Inwardly, he cringed at his own words.
"Hello there young man, have you forgotten about me already? I am Fei, the escort of Lady Serene."
The man, now known as Fei. Ernest remembered now, this was the guy who needed help with his carriage.
"Ah, Greetings Mr. Fe-" "Pardon young man, I need to finish my interogation."
After a few questions, the leader talked about being a mercenary for hire. Their groups only task was to capture me. The commisioner was a man who had a weird tattoo, a mix of a Viper and sword.
Fei was taken a back from this information.
"Young man, have you come acrossed any thieves?" Ernest blinked, he did have 3 occasions where thieves tried to get in the shop.
"Yes Mr. Fei, they didnt make past the door though..." Fei nodded as he looked at the group of 5.
"Young man, im afraid you have become a target of a notorious sect." Ernest got the gist of the situation but was still curious.
"Mr. Fei, may I ask which sect?"
"Young man, your being targeted by the Torumon sect."
'The what now.'
"The Torumon sect is a dangerous sect, filled with thieves and murderers." The man began to explain of the many more crimes of the Torumon.
Ernest lost interest halfway, he didnt need to know this. Couldnt they just arrest them and get on with it.
"I understand the gist of it Mr. Fei, can I leave the locking of these criminals to you?" Ernest wanted this over and done with.
"Your quite kind young man, usually people would simply execute these fools. Yet you chose yo imprison them." Fei was stunned at Ernest mercy.
'what kind, just get them the hell out of here!'
Ernest remembered suddenly.
"Mr. Fei, there is another, he was an old man that could lift me up with Qi telekenesis."
'A Golden light stage?!' Fei nodded at the information.
"Thank you for the information young man, I shall report this to my Sect Leader." With that, Fei escorted the prisoners out.
'Finally, god damn that took a while.'
Ernest was so relieved at being safe, that he missed the strange looks the prisoners had given him.
Making his way back home he sighed. This was a lot of unnecessary stress that had no benefits whatsoever.
A pile of rubble was located in front of hos doorsteps.
"God damn it, of course theres just a crap ton of arrows." He sighed as he got to clearing.
Clearing the arrows in the moonlight was not what he was expecting today, but oh well.
After finishing the cleaning, he went to the shop and locked it.
The Next Day
"Thanks for coming!" A tired voice spoke out.
'Damn it, I feel so exhausted.' Ernest, could not sleep at all last night and kept on coding.
It wasnt even the fact he had to work today that fatigued him more, it was...
"Master Ernest, please order us around!" The voice of an enthusiastic girl pierced Ernests ears.
"Look, will you just shut up and stay there." He was starting to lose his patience.
Mr. Fei had returned with the 5 and told him he has made them sign a slave contract to be loyal to Ernest.
From then on the girl, Teila, wouldnt shut up about wanting to serve her master.
"But master!"
The black haired boy, the leader, smacked Teila's head.
"Your giving Master Ernest a hard time. Just shut up will you." The leader, if he remembered correctly his name is Vilmus.
The 2 other twins were chill, like their hair. Being blue.
While the twin of Teila is...
"Boss! Fight me! I want to see you dodge again!" Not any better than Teila.
"Teil! Both of you, stop bothering master!" The leader was losing his mind.
'Mr. Fei, why did you even give me these 5... I dont nerd them!'
Sighing, he began to tinker with some Spell Cards. Hoping to pass the time with this chaotic group, or rather duo more like.
"Ooh! Ooh! Master whats that!?"
"Boss! Is that a battle card!"
He was 2 seconds away from smacking both of them. Then he did.
""Ow!""
