Philip placed the cup in front of Ian with a sullen expression.

The leader chuckled.

It seems youre treating your subordinate well.

Hes not a subordinate. Hes a young learner with a lot to learn.

The leader downed a gulp of alcohol in one go and said.

Even basic things are beyond him.

Really? Whats considered basic?

Well, simple things. Like not eating food from strangers.

As the leaders eyes squirmed a bit, Ians gaze moved from Philip to him.

Then should I be curious about why Im still unharmed?

Maybe the poisons effects havent fully kicked in yet. What you ate was poison that can even knock out an elephant.

Have you ever seen an elephant in person?

Have you? Whoo huh?

The leaders laughter gradually subsided.

It was because of Ians chilling gaze that was too quiet.

Based on experience, at this point, he should be either bluffing or enduring it with cold sweat running down his back. And then, at the right moment, his smile would harden.

And just like that, Ians smile froze for an instant.

Whoosh!

Ian lunged forward, his left hand striking out.

A dagger that was hardly drawn now etched a red line from the leaders cheek to his eye and forehead.

Aah-! My eye!

The now-blinded leader screamed and fell backwards.

His subordinates, who had been slow to respond, grabbed their cups and stood up.

But Ian was already releasing the thrown dagger and drawing another one.

Whoosh!

Aah!

The dagger deeply embedded itself in one mans arm.

What the hell! Kill him!

Get him!

The remaining three men charged at once.

Coincidentally, the two men Ian pointed out were the ones who rushed toward Philip.

It seemed that they were planning to deal with the weaker one first.

Without any concern, Ian watched the man charging at him.

He was about to leap at him from a certain distance.

But the issue was that he had to keep an eye on him throughout the journey.

As they traveled together, Philip had to pull his weight.

He was more skilled than he appeared, so dealing with a couple of injured mercenaries should be within his capabilities.

The thought of dying at the hands of those guys.

Ian approached the fallen leader who was crawling on the ground.

The man, in the throes of agony, was trying to crawl away.

Thunk-

The dagger was driven into the back of the mans hand.

Aaaah-! You, you bastard!

The man clenched his wrist and let out a scream.

Ian stood before the man and let out a chuckle.

You were the one who administered the poison first, right? If you were planning to kill someone, you should have been prepared to die.

The leader opened his mouth frantically.

We, we didnt mean to kill! We were just planning to knock you out! We were only going to steal their belongings!

Is that so?

Turning his body, Ian picked up the cup that Philip had handed him earlier.

Then, gripping the dagger stuck in the back of the leaders hand, he said.

Euh, aack!

As he twisted the dagger, the man let out a scream.

Ian smiled.

You were just planning to knock us out? Well then, I guess Ill spare you.

This damn huk stupid kuck!

As the man cursed and spat, his face gradually turned red.

The man writhed in pain for a while, then vomited blood and fell silent.

It would have been easier if you had told the truth. You would have gone through it without any pain.

Ian muttered, wiping the dagger clean on the leaders clothes.

He suddenly turned his head at the sound coming from behind.

Oh, interesting.

One of the bandits was sprawled out, his body splattered with blood.

It was due to Philips lethal counterattack after blocking the attack with his shield.

I should be focused on them.

Ian sat down on a stone that the leader had been sitting on by the bonfire.

I wish there was popcorn.

He leisurely picked up the jerky that was laid out in front of him and watched the ongoing battle.
