Traces Discovered!
"Wha... What? She... She was the princess of the Fire Country?”
"Also, this is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan!”
"Plop!" The wealthy merchants in front of them knelt on the ground decisively. Their subordinates beside them also knelt down one after another. Their foreheads were deeply pressed against the ground as they shouted,"I'm really very rude. Your noble princess and the chief of the Hinata family!”
They weren't idiots. They knew the meaning behind the two women's identities. The former represented the highest aristocrats in the Country of Fire, while the latter represented the highest aristocrats in the Muye Family. They were important figures in both power and martial arts. However, they had almost encountered two of them at once. How could they not be terrified?
"Please forgive us, sirs. We were also incited by others and almost committed such an offensive act.”The merchant immediately pushed the responsibility to his subordinates. His subordinates who were kneeling on the ground also kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Tsk ~" Although Asuna still felt that she couldn't vent her anger, she noticed that more and more people were coming to watch the commotion. It was inevitable that her identity would be exposed. However, after her identity was exposed, it was impossible for her to stroll around. Therefore, she waved her hand in disgust as if she was sweeping garbage."Get lost. Don't appear in front of me again!"”
When the wealthy merchants heard this, they immediately felt relieved. They nodded and bowed, and quickly left.
"Brother Kirito…Thank you…" Hatata expressed her gratitude to Kirito for appearing in time. She thought to herself,'It's always like this. It's always like this, appearing in time.'
"It's a small matter." Kirito waved his hand nonchalantly. However, at this moment, his gaze was fixed on the group of wealthy merchants who had left in a sorry state. He seemed to have vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"Hatata, can you tell me the details?”
"Eh? Yes, yes..." Even though Hinata did not understand why Kirito would insist on such a trivial matter that had already ended, she still answered all the questions that Kirito wanted to know.
“......”After hearing Hinata's detailed account of the entire incident, Kirito turned his attention to Asuna.
"What... What's wrong?" Asuna felt an inexplicable pressure from Kirito's stern gaze.
"I'm fine." Kirito shook his head and whispered to the two,"That's all. I still have something important to confirm.”
......
Fleeing from the busy streets, the wealthy merchants arrived at the outskirts of the village. Immediately, several of them collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
One of them cursed,"Damn it! That girl was actually the princess!”
"And that white-eyed guy, he couldn't get along with so many branch families, but he just had to be one of those troublesome fellows from the Zong family!”
"It's all your fault. You actually encouraged me to do it and almost caused a disaster!”
"I'm sorry, Milord. This lowly one is not clear about the identities of these two.”The servant who had been loudly scolded immediately knelt down and kowtowed, his forehead deeply touching the ground.
The wealthy merchants glanced at the latter and waved their hands in annoyance."Forget it. How can a lowly wandering ninja like you have such eyesight?"”
"Yes, my lord." The servant being scolded was actually a ninja! However, this person was clearly a ninja, yet he was so subservient. It was really intriguing.
The latter had incited them to provoke the two women just now, which almost caused a disaster. However, now that they were so humble and begging for forgiveness, the merchants could not find any faults. They could only give up and wave their hands."Alright, get up. I'm not in the mood anymore. Let's go back to the hotel first!"”
"Sir, do you think we should pay a visit to the princess tomorrow?”
"What is it? What nonsense are you talking about? Do you dare to appear in front of the princess?”
"No, sir. We have offended the princess today. Although she said that she would let it go for the time being, if she returns to the Daming Mansion and says a few words in front of the Daming, it is very likely that she will make a move on you. Otherwise, we will personally apologize to the princess tomorrow. I believe that if we are sincere, the princess will truly forgive us.”
"Yes... Is it like this?" The wealthy businessmen looked at each other and considered for a moment. They felt that the question raised by this subordinate was very likely. After all, as a government agency, it was easy for them to mess with them.
"Alright, we'll do it tomorrow..." They were discussing the matter of meeting the princess again tomorrow when a clear voice suddenly came from the darkness without warning.
"I still have to get close to the princess by all means. I see." A figure suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes, as if he had been standing there since the beginning. The person who came was Tong.
"You are.................................................................................................................................................................................................... The wealthy merchants immediately realized that the person in front of them was the young man who had stopped them earlier. To be honest, they should feel lucky that Kirito had stopped them. Fortunately, they did not almost cause an irreversible disaster.
"What do you mean?" She did not understand why the Kirito would appear in such a situation. Indeed, she could not think of a reason why the Kirito would appear.
"Are we being kept in the dark? However, I can't be completely sure." Kirito nodded slightly. Then, his gaze locked onto the subordinate beside the rich businessman, who was bowing and lowering his presence as much as possible.
The latter seemed to have noticed Kirito's gaze as he raised his eyebrows. After which, he pretended to look left and right strangely, as if he did not understand what Kirito's gaze meant.
"Stop pretending. I heard everything you said just now.”Kirito's indifferent sentence caused the latter to have nowhere to hide.
"Speak, your target is to assassinate the princess of the Country of Fire, but who is the mastermind behind this?”Kirito's words immediately caused the expressions of the wealthy merchants present to change drastically. They all looked at the person in fear and pointed at him with trembling fingers."You, you, you, you…"
The unknown wandering ninja looked at Kirito deeply when he heard that. He knew that his hidden identity had been completely exposed.
"There's no need to look. I'm the only one around.”"Of course," Kirito said calmly."I've already sent someone to inform Lord Naruto.”
Kirito's words caused his expression to change drastically, and he subconsciously looked around.
"Lord Ninja Muye! Please believe us. We don't know anything about this!”Assassinating the princess was a huge crime that would be punished with the death penalty. After understanding the seriousness of the situation, the wealthy merchants immediately spoke up to clear their names.
Kirito waved his hand and said calmly,"After this, you should assist the investigation with the Muye's Dark Forces and try to atone for your sins."”
"Sou!"
The enemy who had been exposed immediately wanted to escape while Kirito was distracted. However, it was obvious that Kirito was prepared and would not let the enemy leave so easily!
