Chapter 69: Empire Saga 15 - Kidnapping Again
update icon Updated at 2026/2/20 17:00:02

When we arrived at the place Ms. Mary mentioned, there was nothing on the ground except for three corpses. It's a pity, even though you guys are villains, if you hadn't made a mistake in kidnapping the wrong room, you wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Let's go, I've already investigated and it seems that it was people from the Sheldon family who wanted to kidnap someone from the Marshall family."

"Oh, I see. It seems that the relationship between the nobles is really bad."

Mary nodded and looked at Hei Luoli and Fran.

"Although we have also figured out the bounty situation on our end~ We didn't really want to kill them, but they went crazy under Fran's magic control. Even if we let them live, it would be painful for them, so we let them rest in peace~"

"Is that so... well... I hope they become good people in their next lives. Oh? Where are the bodies?"

When I came to my senses, I realized that the bodies on the ground had disappeared. I looked around and didn't see the bodies from before, not even a trace of blood.

"Oh, we need to destroy the evidence anyway, so I packed them up directly."

Seeing the joyful smile on the other person's face, I understood that those guys had become part of the undead mages in their own separate space, right?

"Let's go back quickly, the two members of the Marshall family should be in danger."

"Don't worry, don't they have a strong butler to protect them? It shouldn't be a problem for a while."

Fran waved her hand.

"The problem is that the butler should only protect the prince, right?"

"Alright, alright, let's go back. There's nothing interesting here anyway. I think none of you want to stay in this dirty place, right?"

"By the way, did Aliyah not come? She said she was coming to find you guys."

Now I noticed that Aliyah, who should have already arrived here, was nowhere to be seen. I had no idea where she had gone.

"No, I thought she didn't come."

"Ugh..."

I quickly opened the communication device and clicked on her name.

I hope she didn't get kidnapped again right after we solved the situation here. What kind of magical kidnapping city is this?

"Aliyah, where are you?"

"Ah, sorry, I didn't reply to your messages just now. I'm currently tracking a group of people. I heard them say they were going to infiltrate the hotel where we're staying, so I followed them."

"Ugh, these guys are really troublesome... The power of money is indeed great. Alright, we'll come over right away. Don't act rashly."

"Okay, don't worry~"

I ended the call and looked at Mary and the others.

"Aliyah has already gone back because she saw someone trying to kidnap again."

"What? Why are these guys so annoying?"

Fran sighed in frustration.

"All-nighters are the enemy of women, you know?"

"If you knew that, you shouldn't have come out in the first place. Ugh, not everything is troublesome, after all, we now know who we are fighting against."

"So let's go back quickly and find another place to rest, or else we won't have a chance to sleep."

"Alright, alright, Oyado, you go first and meet up with Aliyah. We'll be there soon."

"Understood!"

Oyado flipped over my shoulder and disappeared before our eyes.

...

I also want to learn this skill. It's really cool...

------------ Character Switch ------------

Perspective: Oyado

Shadow's End!

After a series of jumps, I, who had turned into black smoke, had already passed through the entire city and the inn was now in sight.

"Found it."

Seeing the figure of sister Aliyah on the roof, I flipped over and landed next to her.

"Aliyah sis~"

"!"

Aliyah looked at me in surprise, and after recognizing me, she let out a sigh of relief.

"It's you, Oyado. You almost scared me."

"Hehe, sorry sorry~"

"By the way, why are you here?"

"Big bro said he was worried and asked me to come and meet up with you."

"Tch, is it that idiot Fir again? He really meddles too much. I can handle this kind of thing on my own."

Aliyah pouted with some dissatisfaction, but she still seemed happy.

Ugh, seriously, why can't big bro just express his feelings properly? Doesn't he know how harmful it can be to girls? Why can't he just say who he likes?

...

But... it's also possible that big bro doesn't like anyone at all.

It's really possible, you know. I don't know about others, but that guy, big bro, might just not like anyone at all.

"Oyado, let's go. Those people have already opened the back door of the inn."

Aliyah patted me and then a green light flashed on her, as she charged towards the back door of the inn.

Shadow's End!

I followed her directly and arrived at the door.

"Be careful!"

I grabbed Aliyah, who was about to enter through the back door.

"It seems... someone has already died."

"Yeah, I know."

Aliyah glanced at the door.

"One of the five who entered earlier is already dead, but the defenders don't have the advantage because there are more enemies."

"This..."

How did Aliyah know? She's amazing, isn't she?

"Alright, stop staring."

Aliyah smiled and drew out her dual swords, then suddenly stabbed backwards. The blade of the sword pierced through the door behind her, and at the same time, a scream came from behind the door.

How did she find out?

"Let's go."
