Chapter 200: Say It Again If You Can

Yale sighed after hearing the past problems of the Larken Clan. From his point of view, after losing almost all their powerful experts, it was already a miracle that they survived and improved until their current position. However, he understood that for Lar who had put all her effort in creating a powerful clan, that was far from enough.

Before Yale had time to say anything to Lar, someone knocked on the door. The room was perfectly isolated, and the only way for the outsiders to communicate with the inside was by knocking on the door and waiting for someone inside to open it.

Of course, it was also possible to just break the protective spell on the room, but that would also alert those inside.

Lar seemed pissed by that interruption, but she knew that they were in an inn and not in a private house, so she stood up and opened the door.

“Miss Lar, sorry for disturbing you, but the other members of the Sword Five came her asking for you.”

Lar had never told the others that she was going to that inn to meet Yale, but given their influence, it wasn’t difficult for them to discover it.

“Let them pass.”

Lar felt that they were annoying, but since the Sword Five discovered them, it was better to don’t anger them because Yale still needed their votes to clear the situation without additional problems.

“Liye, I am sorry, they discovered us. If something goes wrong, we can just turn crazy and start a killing spree.”

Yale just sighed, he hoped that the members of the Sword Five would be reasonable and he wouldn’t need to act.

After a minute, the governor entered the room followed by two girls. One of them was the same one Yale had seen in the Sword arena the first day, but the other’s aspect surprised him.

That girl was at the peak of the Mortal Rank, but she looked around thirteen or fourteen years old, her real age was similar to Lar, but that girl’s appearance was far more mature than Lar’s, although she was considerably weaker.

“Lar, you are too quick. We had yet to plan our meeting with Liye, and you were already with him. Nice to meet you Liye, I am the current governor of Sword City, Ralen.”

Although Yale was supposed to be a criminal, Ralen was friendly towards him; it was as Lar had said, he was someone who liked talents.

“Why are you introducing yourself to him? He is a criminal who should be executed as soon as possible; he isn’t worthy of hearing our names.”

The girl at the Mortal Rank stared Yale with cold eyes.

“Who think you are? Liye’s future will be determined by our votes in the trial, not by your will alone.”

Lar replied with anger, her relationship with that girl had always been bad while that girl was also very close to the deceased member of the Sword Five.

“It is righteous for a criminal to be executed, it is foolish that we need to vote! Anyone who voted anything different than execution would just be as evil as him. Maybe we should also execute you, you are just a little girl, but your lack of respect towards your senior was the start of everything.”

Lar hated that others used her childish looked to berate her, but she hated a lot more when that girl did it because she was even younger than her despite her looks.

“You are just a coward who doesn’t dare to advance to the Novice Rank because you know that you can’t win against me. You are just trying to get rid of me to not lose your position after advancing. Do you think that I am a fool? You are the one who incited that useless guy to offend me; you wanted to borrow his hand to heavily injure me and use that time to advance and steal my position.”

That girl’s face turned ugly, she had plotted against Lar a lot of times, but she had always failed.

“You can’t say whatever you want without evidence, but today we will execute that friend of yours who used a sneak attack for cowardly murdering an honorable member of the Sword Five.”

Everyone had seen how Yale was attacked first and that the other party incited everyone to have a death battle, but she didn’t mind being shameless because she never feared anyone since she obtained her current position as a member of the Sword Five.

Before Lar was able to reply, the Practitioner Rank woman interrupted her.

“You two, stop! We will know the outcome after voting, deciding the results of a trial without a trial is just corruption. My name is Selenia, I will judge you impartially.”

Even Lar didn’t know what would Selenia vote after hearing Yale, but at least she wasn’t already wanting to execute Yale before voting like the other girl.

“Liye, let’s skip all the formalities, explain to us what happened in the Sword Arena and we will vote if punish you or not.”

By his words, it was obvious that Ralen didn’t want to make the things difficult for Yale and just wanted an explanation to avoid seeming too biased.

“That guy was who asked people to battle against him after cowardly giving up his match against Lar, and he was also the one who wanted a death battle. Anyone who was at the Sword Arena will be able to say the same as me.”

Until that point, Yale hadn’t said anything that the Sword Five couldn’t know just by a bit of investigation.

“If a member of the Sword Five wanted to kill people is the pleasure of the commoners like you to die. You can’t kill anyone of us even if we kill you and all your family! Speaking of family, I heard that you have a little sister in this city, after killing you we will enslave her and made her suffer for her big brother’s foolishness!”

Ralen and Selenia looked at her with strange faces, that was far more wicked than killing someone in the Sword Arena, and there wasn’t such punishment in the rules. Of course, they wouldn’t let that girl act as she pleased in the name of Sword City or the Sword Five, that would damage their reputation.

On the other hand, Lar had a smug expression on her face as if she had already deduced what would happen next.

“So, you are now threatening my family. Do you dare to repeat your words?”

Even Ralen and Selenia felt their scalps numb due to Yale’s voice. Although they didn’t understand the reason, their intuition was telling them that there was something dangerous hidden in those words.

After hearing those words, the girl who had been threatening Yale without any worry stood still with a vacant look on her eyes.

Selenia touched her shoulder, and the girl’s body fell to the ground.

“What happened? Are you alright? Reply!”

Selenia could feel that she was breathing and was unable to find anything wrong with her body, but the girl was lying on the ground without reacting to anything.

“What happens? You were very brave just a moment ago, but now you don’t dare to repeat your words. I want to hear again what do you plan to do to my little sister. Say it again if you can.”

Yale knew that it was impossible that the girl spoke again because he had already used Soul-search on her. Moreover, he did it with hatred, so that girl was alive only biologically, her soul had been completely trashed beyond repair.

Ralen and Selenia weren’t fools and noticed that the reason for everything was the guy in front of them, but they didn’t know how he managed to do so.

Lar was restraining her laugh; she had always hated that girl, and as she expected, by threatening someone close to Yale, she had dug her own grave.

“Can we continue or we need to wait for her?”

Yale asked that with a bright smile on his face, but for the other two that was the smile of a devil and was extremely frightening.

Yale wouldn’t be able to do the same to both of them due to their difference in rank, but they didn’t know that fact nor how Yale managed to leave the other girl in that state; the fear of the unknown was their greatest fear.

“No need. She was a wicked girl; maybe the heavens have punished her.”

Ralen had chosen immediately to side with Yale; although he doubted that Yale’s swordsmanship could compare to his, he didn’t dare to look down to the other powers of Yale.

“Asking for slavery to your family was a corrupted act, she deserved divine punishment.”

Selenia truly despised those intentions, but her main reason for speaking was fear of offending Yale with her silence.

“Then, let’s continue. In the stage, that bastard tried to kill me, but I just blocked him with a casual attack, sadly he was too weak and died. I used the same battle style in my battle against Lar, and nothing happened to her, that bastard’s death was just an accident due to his lack of ability. I expect that everyone thinks like me.”

Ralen and Selenia just nodded, they didn’t mind if they truly believed Yale’s version or not, Yale was strong and ruthless, offending him for the sake of a dead guy wasn’t a wise decision.
