Chapter 47 : Aboard The Ship

Ajel keenly observed a large man walk through the door , two people at his side. Some of the soldiers stayed silent when he came in , some out of respect , whereas other's ; fear.

"That's the real question." Ajel looked over to the large doorframe , his eyes flickering from the conversation he had with this man just a few hours ago.

It was the man with the halberd, the one that tried to kill him voer the most pettiest reasons.

"Look away." Roheen whispered in his ear ,as Ajel kept his eyes solely focused on the mortified bartender in front of him.

"Vodka." The rough voice filled the room , as Ajel could like the tension was palpable , one that wanted to suffocate him.

Ajel felt a set of eyes fall on himself , as he felt loud , heavy footsteps surrounded by two soft sets of footsteps beside him.

"Oh , it's the Demaican swine...." Ajel turned around , before only sighing and looking towards the man.

Ajel signalled to Roheen to move down , as the last thing he wanted was for his merchant companion to be harmed in any way.

Ajel's eyes were empty , as he stared into the man's eyes without a sense of fear.

"Can i help you?" Ajel said , a respect present in his voice but with a underhanded poison in a small amount hidden in the sweet words.

"My descipes over here were waiting for you for so long , little wolf." The man gave a vulgar grin ,with a red tinge present in his eyes.

Ajel pretended to rub his temples , but in fact he made a simple tapping motion on his Gabella, before observing both of his disciples.

The fact he even had students was a testament to the man's power , and Ajel wasn't keen to getting his back broken like the man he had saw when he first encountered with this person.

"What's wrong , little wolf?" The man laughed. "Out of words to say? you were quite talkative when we first met , weren't you?"

Talkative my ass.

Seeing the man slowly approach him , Ajel only sighed as the collar of his trenchcoat was picked up , leaving him vulnerable to the man.

He couldn't fight back against Noxian Soldiers , otherwise he would be killed on the spot.

Although the Noxian Solider in front of him looked muscular and dumb , he in fact was quite smart to provoke Ajel.

If Ajel was to fight back in any capacity , it meant that he would be killed. And since he didn't have his Glaive on him and the man was armed due to the fact he was in a high position in the army most likely, he didn't stand a chance.

"Now , this is what your gonna do." The man's face was only inches to Ajel's , as the latter tried to hide his disgust. "You , are going to come down with me to the arena, and you will be paying back the debt you promised to do , which was the duel you promised with me my disciples."

A sudden voice interrupted the "conversation" the person and Ajel were having , as Ajel could recognize that voice from a mile away.

"Now , now , Commander Lexus." Quinton came around a corner , before giving Ajel a small wave. "Noxus is a place for freedom to the strong , so why such prejudice?"

Commander Lexus clicked his tongue at the sudden conclusion.

And then Quinton's smiley face slowly started to go dark.

"Unless , that is , you want to go against General Farron's order..... again." Quinton's pupils had a strong flavour of red , one like a flame.

".....Never...."

"Never again , did you say?" Quinton muttered , before regaining his smile once more. "That boy over their is a customer of mine , and the reason why i came here is to talk to him..." Quinton's face changed. "Do you understand?"

"Yes." Commander Lexus nodded his head , but Ajel could feel the shame through his mask of calmness.

"But , i do believe that the soldiers here are due for some entertainment..... so i will accept your offer." Quinton gave a large smile, before laughing. "Me and that boy over their , against your two disciples. A 2v2 duel , even to the death if you so desire."

"Not to the death..." Commander Lexus didn't even look towards Quinton in the eyes as the latter only laughed , before looking over to Ajel. "Come over here. And you three. Any soldiers willing to come to the cauloseum are welcome to."

Ajel could see several Noxian soliders sit up when these words came out of the mouth of Quinton , then several more , then several more.

Ajel could see Roheen also join the crowd of people following the 5 of them as they slowly walked to the area where the arena was.

"Go and retrieve your weapon , a harsh fight will be upon you."

"You?" do you mean we?" Ajel looked towards the boy , who only gave a cunning smile. "Who said i was fighting? those children wouldn't last two seconds against me." Quinton muttered, rolling his eyes before putting his hands up. "Besides , remember what i told you about your weapon and it will do the work for you."

"So why did you come into the argument in the first place?" Ajel raised his eyebrow.

"It's to show that you have my support , which means that if you were to win or you lose , you would not receive conquence from the commander."

"You say commander with alot of spite , what happened?"

"Ah , that bastard used to be a general , until he ran away from a battle he lost , which meant that he acted a form of abandonment to his soldiers, leading them all to die." Quinton said such a dark thing with a smile on his face. "anyhow , isn't it time to get your weapons from your quarters?"

Ajel looked back on the Quinton who was retreating to the stadium before his eyes condensed into slits.

This wasn't a nobody. Who was this?
