Chapter 329 - Great Swift Bandits

Souta looked around and said, "Let's get out of here. A lot of people are watching us."

The two looked around and saw that a lot of people were watching them. They could only nod at Souta as they knew that they've gathered a lot of attention.

"I understand. Let's get out of here."

Lynn who was in the crowd slowly move and followed them.

...

Inside a pub quite far from their place where they fought the six D-ranks, Souta's group and the two C-ranks occupied a table.

"Once again. I'm going to thank you for saving us, young man." The old man stood up and bowed his head in front of Souta.

"Thank you for saving us." The other man followed his elder and bowed his head in front of Souta.

"It's nothing..." Souta waved his hand and asked, "Still, I wanted to know why are you fighting those people. Did you not know that this city is a city of criminals? Almost all the people that are living here are bandits or thieves."

The two looked at each other. After a while, the old man nodded and began to speak. "We're going to introduce ourselves first. I'm Jocklen, I'm an experienced swordsman. The young man here is Tans, a swordsman like me."

"Well, I'm going to introduce myself too. I'm Ieshi Souta. Ieshi is my last name and Souta is my first name. You can call me Souta. I prefer it if you call me that." Souta said to them.

"Hello, I'm Lynn Yaoli. You can call me Lynn." Lynn said shyly as she waved her hand.

"I and Tans were part of a mercenary group called Jaden Wind," Jocklen said in a gloomy tone.

"Were?" Lynn looked at them.

Tans nodded at her and added, "Yes, but that group is gone. Out of fourteen members of the group, Jocklen and I are the only ones alive."

Lynn covered her mouth and was surprised by what he revealed. Before she could ask what happened to his comrades, Jocklen opened his mouth and said, "One day while we're in the middle of a mission, that group appeared before us. They were injured and we gave them some of our potions but we didn't think that some of them were hiding in the bushes. They caught us off guard and quickly killed our leader, Jaden."

"You can guess what happened after that... Everyone was killed and we're the only ones who managed to escape." Tans added while looking at them with a serious tone.

He tightly clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with hatred.

"How could they do that?" Lynn said quietly as she felt pity towards the two who lost their comrades.

A hand stretched out and patted her head. She turned over and saw that it was Souta.

Souta shook his head and said, "That's why don't be kind to anyone. Don't easily trust people you met in the wilderness. Observe and examine your surrounding."

Lynn lowered her head. "I know." She said with a faint smile. She knew that Souta was warning her so that she wouldn't end up like them.

"I understand your situation now... but I don't think you can defeat that group of bandits with your current strength. If I'm not there, the two of you would be dead at this moment." Souta said to them.

"That...? I'm at fault. Jocklen didn't do anything wrong. When I saw those people, I couldn't control my anger." Tans said while clenching his fist.

"So what you will do now? You know that the two of you can't take care of that bandits..." Souta said as he leaned back while observing the reactions of the two.

"I..." Tans lowered his head.

'It seems that I will not get any quest from this person... Too bad.' Souta sigh
