Chapter 889 The Natives [I]

Although it sounded threatening, I am not afraid of them. In fact, I was a bit surprised that she managed to have so many people target me to assert dominance.

Still, I didn't dare to say anything. If they are willing to attack someone without even warning them, then there is a bigger chance that they won't even bother to listen to what I will be saying either. I would rather not get bothered by it in the end.

Seeing the lack of fear and reaction to her threat, she fired one arrow. And based on the trajectory, she is missing it on purpose. So, I didn't dodge. Even if I get hit by it, it's just going to bounce off with my armor as it is an attack that isn't powered up or anything. Just a normal arrow shot.

The arrow flew by, landing right beside me, but I didn't bother to move. Of course, if she tried anything funny, I would immediately retaliate. After seeing my lack of reaction, it seems she got threatened by it and she decided to ignore her previous threats and directly attack me.

"Attack!"

The natives immediately fired off their arrows straight at me. However, I am not just going to engage in all of them. I needed to end it as fast as I can. I grab the hilt of my Versatile Weapon, dashed forward to dodge all incoming arrows and jump off in the air and aim straight at the one who was leading the assault. Changing my Versatile Weapon into a hook and chain, I caught her off guard by my way of attacking and she tried to escape. But for the hook and chain? That is not possible.

Before she can even flee, the hook trapped her movements, and wrapped her body with the chain, allowing me to pull her. As soon as I pull the hook and chain, she was dragged along with it, allowing me to catch her and held her hostage. Since the Versatile Weapon is still wrapped around her, I grabbed the Pain Delivery on my holster and fired one warning shot in the air, causing all attacks to stop, once they calmed down, I aimed the muzzle of the Pain Delivery to her head.

"One wrong move and this woman here is dead. Try anything funny and she will be dead, you hear me?"

Everyone stopped, but they didn't drop their weapons, they just held their breaths and waited for the orders of the leader who was currently struggling in my hands.

"Unhand me, you barbarian! How dare you do this to us?"

I pulled her closer to myself and whispered. "You should be grateful that I didn't kill anyone in here in one fell swoop and waited to see whether you all have reasons for suddenly attacking me. I am still quite a rationale myself and if I was a psychopath who doesn't care about the lives of everyone here, everyone should be already dead by now."

"As if you can do that..."

"Would you like to see me try? Because I can fully demonstrate to you how I massacre everyone here, just say the word."

Intimidated by what I said, she relented and decided to order everyone to stop and retreat.

"Retreat. Don't worry about me, retreat and protect our home! Tell Father all about this matter!"

As soon as she gave out the orders, everyone left and retreated, leaving herself alone, currently trapped on the Hook and Chain and growling at me in anger.

"Release me, now!"

"As if. If you dare attack me, then you will also be needed to pay responsibility. Come with me. I have a few questions for you and if I am satisfied, perhaps you will be able to go back to everyone alive."

She can only grit her teeth as I carried her like a princess before returning to the mansion. I didn't bother to run and just head there by flying. She was surprised when she saw me fly but because she was a hostage, she held her question and curiosity.

When we arrived, the others are currently outside and are busy eating the pie that my mother baked. When they saw me carrying a girl arrived, they were a bit surprised. But what surprised them the most was when I just dropped her to the ground without even caring about her well-being.

"Wah, Manato, that's so ungentlemanlike of you! How come you are so cruel to her?" Riko immediately tried to approach her but I stopped Riko since she might break free from the Versatile Weapon even though there is no sign she managed to find a way to get the hook and chain off on her body.

"Hey, she is an enemy. Don't just go and approach her willy-nally like that."

"What? Enemy?" Rika who was trailing behind Riko frowned.

"Yep. She attacked me earlier alongside her tribe or whatever group she was in while I was busy finishing the final parts of the survey. I managed to stop her assault and let the others of her group retreat by keeping her as hostage but I think they are just going to call for reinforcements."

"Heh, just wait. Once my father gets to hear that her lovely daughter was currently held by barbarians, they will tear you all down without mercy. He is much stronger than me, so he will not be defeated like me."

I can only shake my head in disappointment at her. If this person she was calling was her father and he is strong, is he strong enough to handle every one of us here? I don't know but we will see.

"I don't even see you as a strong individual so that means your father is not that weak to be defeated with one move. Makes a bit sense but I don't think your father will be even capable of dealing with anyone on us here."

"That's not nice Manato. I know you like to roast people and show them the reality but sometimes, it's best to show restraint, will you?" Riko laughed awkwardly.

"Anyways, can you all tie her up? I needed to go and eat my share of the pie, I am starving already. Besides, she might calm down if you girls will do the job. She might be more comfortable to talk with if you all do so. If I was the one who will try to talk to her, I might just end up roasting her antics left and right."

Riko and Rika sighed and laughed awkwardly and nodded.

You are right. If it was you, she might be murdered by words by you, it's better we talk this out. Go and grab your share there. Almira has been eyeing your share since the pie was baked. Go and get it before it is gone."

Hearing that, I didn't bother to wait and left for my share. If Almira is eyeing my share, I hope she has not yet grabbed it just yet. I will have to make sure of it.

...

...

...

"Alright, that should do it, nice and tight," Riko nodded in satisfaction after tying the native with a metal rope that they usually use to tie up enemies to ensure they won't be able to use the usual trick of cutting them with a hidden knife.

"Hey, can you remove these shackles from me? I can see that you two are sane individuals and can be reasoned. Please? I will make sure that my Father won't harm the two of you once he starts to attack. You don't need to follow that man anymore and be free of what you needed to do. In fact our tribe offers freedom to all, you guys won't need to be his slaves at all. "

Riko and Rika looked at each other before they started laughing.

"Girl, I think you are misunderstanding something. Just because we followed what he ordered to us, doesn't mean we are his slaves. In fact, you seemed to have misunderstood. We are not in danger here. If your Father decided to attack us, he will be dead before he knew it. And besides, I don't think Manato will attack anyone outright without any reason. I would be more surprised if he even does so with his own volition," Riko grinned.

"Right. If it was someone who would immediately attack, without listening to reason, it would either be me or her who will do it. If during that time you have confronted us instead of him, perhaps you and your tribe would have been gone from this world by now," Rika smiled but with a tone of authority and gives off an intimidating feeling.

The girl who didn't understand what they meant suddenly understood the moment she saw the smile of the second girl. The reason she was still alive right now and her tribe members are still walking and are able to retreat was because the guy they fought against didn't like to cause bloodshed, whereas if they were the ones who they engaged in battle with, these two would never stop looking to annihilate anything or anyone that moves.

It seems she has done something real bad just now.
