Chapter 155.3
“Stop you idiots. You are no match for her, Batir, you fool…I knew it was you…the Ash-Crowned Princess.”
“…”
My one eyebrow raised slightly at the mention of my “distinguished name” in a foreign land where I was not supposed to be known. The elder, perhaps convinced by my appearance, smiled slightly.
“I knew it, when Zilgan told me about you, I didn’t think it was possible, but… the ash-gray hair I saw just now confirmed it.”
What did the old dwarf know about…?
“Who are you?”
The old man laughed amused, as the intimidation I exuded sent another round of killing intent from the surrounding beastmen.
“I am Kushim, the Elder of Munza Group West. I heard that Batir was trying to kidnap an adventurer that Zilgan had been eyeing. We came to stop him because we had no intention of doing business with the Hogloss Trading Company, let alone handing the girl over to Kirli… but it seems that the girl in question was an even more outrageous individual. The Ash-Crowned Princess.”
“Where did you hear that?”
“Hohoho, the underworld has its own gossip. How could the story of a madman who single-handedly destroyed a guild of assassins and was feared by the underworld not be a topic of conversation among the merchants?”
“I see.”
At that moment, as I quietly decided to “kill” him, an enormous amount of killing intent and intimidation was sent toward me from Kushim, causing the weak-willed beastmen to nearly lose consciousness and fall to their knees.
I accepted his killing intent with my body as it was, returning it with a cold killing intent, and suddenly, Kushim smiled as if he were baring his fangs, and his own intimidation was erased.
