Ch. 179

( Yuto pov )

I looked at the slaves that were shaking in the ground as they looked at Eri in fear.

' Seems I already did my part. Let's erase their memories of Eri and replace it with something else.'

I created a rune with mana and inserted it into their heads as they all became unconscious.

A memory altering rune was a basic rune I learned.

I watched them fall before continuing to the next, the ones who didn't see the gruesome display and were locked in the back of the auction.

Animals...that's what came through my mind as they all looked at me in fear or vigilantly.

No matter how intelligent they are, they still have the instincts of an animal.

But still... I consider them better than those corrupted people.

My bloodlust ran through the room, making sure every single one of their cells screamed in fear and remember this feeling.

In these groups of Faunus, there have to be some white fang members who will run back to their group and report this incident.

' Memory is a little fuzzy, but the white fang shouldn't be a terrorist group, right?' I thought as I stopped the bloodlust and looked at the oner of this place crawling on the floor.

His legs weren't listening to him as he used his shaken arms to pull himself away from me as fast as possible.

" Wilhelm...running away like the coward you are." I spoke as I stepped closer.

He panicked as I saw the terror in his eyes grow.

I chuckled as I threw a kunai lodging his hand kn the floor.

" AAaahhh!!!" He screamed as he tried to pull the kunai only to give up once he realized he could move it.

" Pathetic." I stomped on the kunai.

" !!!!" Before he could scream, I put my foot over his throat, choking him.

A few seconds later, he stopped struggling, and as reassurance, I broke his neck.

I lifted my head as I looked at the Faunus locked inside the cages. They shook in fear and retreated backward.

I grabbed my kunai before using small air blades to cut the locks.

Clink!

the locks fell as I turned around to leave.

" Meow." Eri mowed as I looked at her as she licked her paws.

I noticed the bloody stain on my outfit as I looked at her.

I sighed as I cleaned the stain with purification.

I left the auction house as I noticed the snow falling.

" Well, it's time for us to make a name for ourselves."

" Meow." Eri seemed to agree.

We walked on the snowy street as I heard Sirens in the distance.

" Mew"

I shook my head in disagreement.

" No, we will not be using terrorism."

" Meow."

" No massacre."

" Meow."

I stopped as I thought over what Eri said before shrugging.

" Sure, let's steal and rob some places."

" Meow."

" Hmm, you're right. We could help others by donating them as well."

' We should gather more information.' I thought as I looked at a group of Faunus running towards the auction house.

' The white fang, so they were here.' I thought as I watched them e ter the auction house.

I could go to them, but that would picture me as desperate and might figure out I planned for this.

I walked away as I left to make traces, but not obviously to make it easy.

' Wether they find me or not is up to them.' I thought as I escaped in the snowstorm.

The Sirens headed towards the auction house as I noticed the large number of vehicles.

' Wonder who called them?' I thought before shrugging and leaving the place.

Later, I found a ship that would leave to the eastern Capital Anima.

Though I had to pay a fee, which was in jewelry as I have not attained any of this world's currency yet.

No one questioned why a boy was traveling alone as long as I paid them.

Days later, I arrived in Anima. The continent of the east as I was in a village.

" Waiteaitwait!!" A man pleaded, and I tied a steel wire around his nec, choking him as I was about yo push him over the railing.

" Where is it?" I asked him as I pulled the wire.

" I-It's it's in there!" He pointed at the ouctur, and I tilt my head towards its direction before looking at him again.

" I'm not here for riches. I want to know where lil' miss malachite is?" I asked as Itightenedn the wire.

" Gaaahh!! Keekkk! Never!" He shouted.

The spider organization, another high membe, is dead because he doesn't want to talk.

It would've been easier if they were swayed by money or their life, but this organization values loyalty.

I sighed as I decided to use genjutsu.

" Talk." I used word magic as the man went into a trance.

" In Mistral. A bar called lucky lute. Johnny should know where the boss is at." The man answered as I three him off the balcony.

" Come where heading to Mistral." I look we at Eri who was laying on the bed.

" Meow." She jumped to my shoulder as I removed the painting off the wall and looked to see a safe.

I punched the safe and pulled it off its hinges.

Money, jewelry, and files.

'Blackmail. Hm?' I saw a device next to the folders.

' A scroll.' I took the scroll in hand.

' Iris, could you connect yourself to the scroll?'

Iris replied as the scroll opened and started rebooting.

Iris asked.

' Sure.' I replied as I pocketed the scroll.

Leaving the mansion, and as I saw the villagers look at the man hanging from the balcony.

They spotted me as I passed through them.

They didn't stop me. After all, this man used them and treated them as slaves as he taxed them heavily.

These people were victims of this man's greed.

Whatever they do now is their choice, and I can't force them.

I listened to the people cheered, the sense of relief filling them as the man's crimes started to show and appear.

I walked away from the village before they could stop me.

This continent was home to the Spider organization.

So I had keep an eye out.

If I'm going to make a name for myself then I'll have to do it in the underworld.

If that means going agasint the spider organization that so be it. But if I could get a contract or gigs from the leader herself than that would be a good start.

A mercenary for hire.
