Chapter 101: Two Guards II

Tang!

The sound of the blade slashing the person could be heard resounding out in this place.

The junior soldier had his arms stretched out, and his knees were bent to strengthen his absorption.

However, when the junior soldier looked up once more, his eyes widened so much that it looked like his eyes were about to go out of their sockets.

Why? It was because the person in front of him right now was his senior!

And what's more, his senior had his sword out and blocked the junior's sword!

It was weird as they were allies.

"Stop it, James!" The senior shouted as he put strength in his hand that was holding his sword.

After all, even though he was the senior, they didn't have that much difference in strength.

That was why the senior was also using his full strength as James intended to slash the person with his full strength!

He was that serious. After all, killing a member of the Lion Clan member and robbing their badge is illegal.

No, that should be impossible in this Jakart city.

Even the city lord's guards will have to follow through with the law if it is connected with the Lion Clan.

That was how influential and deep-rooted the Lion Clan's roots are in this city.

"Senior, what are you doing?! He killed a member of the Lion Clan! We have to apprehend him!"

James shouted out loud as he backed down by stepping backward.

He didn't want to fight his senior when this was the person that he saw almost every day.

Besides, the more important and suspicious person was standing behind his senior.

There was a chance that the suspicious person would stab his senior in the back.

"Stop. Take a minute to breathe."

The senior said as he raised his right hand towards James with his palm out.

"You're new to this, so you don't know." The senior spoke as he turned his head towards the suspicious person.

It was then that he did something unexpected. At least, it was unexpected for James as James almost threw up due to shock!

His eyes widened once more, and he could feel his jaw locking.

Why? It was because it was just that surprising.

The act of his senior...bowing to the suspicious person was just that surprising.

"I am sorry for this new guy. He doesn't know much about the world."

"I hope you'll forgive him for me."

"Oh, Lion King's Soldier."

It was then that the suspicious person finally moved as if he were waiting for this very moment.

He raised his hand with his palm out as if he were saying that it was fine and it didn't matter to him.

After all, that was how it looked to James.

"Senior...what are you..." James murmured as he just couldn't believe it.

Although his time here was short, he knew that his senior was prideful and strong.

There's no way that this senior of his would just bow down to anyone.

And that was why this act of him bowing opened James' mind with a shock.

'An important person...? What the hell is going on...'

However, James couldn't think about it anymore as the suspicious person did something once more.

And that was....he walked. He walked towards the door that will lead him to Jakart.

His steps were light, and it seems that this matter wasn't on his mind at all as he just passed James.

The suspicious person passed James without a fuss, and James let it go.

After all, he didn't really know anything.

However, he trusted this senior. He knew that there was some meaning in him stopping James from attacking that person.

Squeeee!!

The door screamed as it was opened by the person, and he quickly vanished as he walked out.

All that time, the senior was still bowing his head and didn't move at all from his spot.

After all, he wasn't allowed to do that.

That was why when the suspicious person was gone, and he confirmed it, the senior immediately straightened his back.

"Phew!" The senior then breathed out a sigh of relief as he breathed in and out.

He continued doing that for a few more and then stopped once he calmed down.

He then whipped his head towards James, his junior with...deadly eyes.

"Tsk!" The senior clicked his tongue as he shook his head.

"S-senior, what did I do wrong...?" James asked as he didn't really know anything.

After all, how would he know? He was just taught the basics, and no more.

"James, you're gonna die early if you continue to be like that, you know."

"When I say stop, you should stop already. Don't act surprised or something like that, dumbass."

"You could have gotten us killed!"

The senior then walked towards James with heavy footsteps.

It seems he didn't really like what James did there.

When he reached James, he patted James' shoulder while speaking.

"Do you know who that person was? No, right?"

"Well, I do. I really do."

"Why am I acting like this, you ask?"

"It's because that person is one of the Lion King's personal army!"

"And do you know who the Lion King is?"

James' throat gulped down some saliva before answering. After all, he felt the seriousness and pressure coming from his senior.

"I-it's Sir Lionel, senior..."

"That's right! The Lion King is Sir Lionel! And Sir Lionel have destroyed many other kingdoms in the past!"

"He killed thousands, millions of lives! He destroyed enemies after enemies just to get to where he is now."

"Do you know that our king is grateful that Sir Lionel stationed himself in Vakigo Kingdom?"

"Sir Lionel is that powerful, you idiot!"

"And yet, you dare attack his personal soldiers?! Even if you don't know, at least make your head work in situations like these!"

The senior then shook his head once more as he closed his eyes while speaking.

"I understand that you didn't know, and that's why I'm letting you off."

It was then that James spoke up. This was something he was really curious about.

"H-how did you know that he was the Lion King's personal soldier, then?"

"That's because only his soldiers have two badges."

"There is no one else who knows about them, and there is no enemy alive left to tell the tale."

"There is also no one who would dare attack two members of ordinary members of the Lion Clan just to get two badges."

"I only know it because I work here. All the veterans here know it."

"That is why when you see someone with two Lion Clan badges, never, never attack them."

"Or you'll see your whole family die."

It was a simple warning, but it was enough to struck fear in James' heart.

After all, James had his eyes wide open, and he was also shaking somewhat.

"N-never..."

James muttered as he worried about his family and himself.
