The rchant couldn't fathom what was going on, his guards who were supposed to protect him were getting killed one after the other and his legs were sinking as he struggled to escape but he had the worst luck of all.
Alex wasn't going for any of the guards instead he had his eyes on the rchant, Alex stopped few distances away from the rchant so he wouldn't get dragged into Gabriel's spell.
Gabriel's job was to slow the guards down so he didn't harden the mud, while Bridget and Lynx took the guards down one after the other. Now that he had two flintlock pistols, he could take down each guard with a single bullet as long as he gets a headshot.
Alex held both of his daggers but he didn't join the fight, Max also didn't bother joining cause he didn't want to get shot by Lynx.
>BAM!!<
Lynx shot the last guard leaving only the rchant who was shaking in fear as Alex stood close to him.
"You can climb out right?" Alex asked.
"Y-Yes..." the rchant replied as he begins to struggle, after a few minutes he finally struggled out of the mud trap.
"Please don't kill " the rchant begged as soon as he got out, the rest of the group had already arrived before the rchant ca out of the mud.
"Huh!! kill you? Why would I kill you?" Alex asked.
"...U-Uhmmm... p-please don't kill "
"Just kill the rchant let's be in our way, it's not like he has anything to offer us," Lynx said as he raised his pistol.
"N-No, No please don't kill , what do you want, I have many things to offer, money, girls, properties, connections, I have tons of things to offer" the rchant shouted.
"Calm down Lynx, he says he has things to offer, but we don't need the things you have to offer, we have money, we have girls and frankly we don't need properties, but we do need sothing from you and if you cooperate, we'll let you live," Alex said
"W-What do to need, anything..." the rchant spoke almost imdiately.
"Information only, first tell about your slave trip, and let's talk in the carriage, I'm a little exhausted"
"Good job scaring him," Max said to Lynx.
"I wasn't scaring him, I was genuinely going to shoot him, but I'm glad it all worked out," Lynx said as he walked towards the carriage.
"Okay, you can start, but first tell about the mage that made the slave contract," Alex said.
"He works for , I hired him but..."
"That's good to know, I heard he is able to break the contract and free the girls, where is he?" Alex asked.
"...I don't know"
"You don't know? I thought you hired him personally"
"H-He went on a trip, he'll be back in a m-month ti" the rchant stuttered.
"A month ti, so we can't break the contract till he's back?" Alex asked.
"Yes..." the rchant said in a low voice.
"There goes our 100 skill points..."
"We should kill him, if we can't break the contract, then we'll have to take all the girls to Zenith city and if we can't find soone to break it, what do we do, we can't be walking around with a bunch of NPCs" Lynx spoke.
"He's right, isn't there another way?" Max asked the rchant.
"I don't know any other way," the rchant said.
"Who do you sell the girls to?" Alex asked.
"I sell them to n in different cities in the Silver and Gold continent, I have the list of all the n I've sold to, I can hand the list to you," the rchant said.
"We don't need the list, we should just kill him, that'll stop him from trading slaves" Lynx spoke.
"No... I'll stop, I promise, please don't kill " the rchant pleaded.
"People like this are consud by greed, if we leave him alone, he'll find his way back and start again," Max said.
"Before that, what do you know about the shadow potion!" Alex asked and the rchant flinched imdiately and his face turned pale almost instantly.
"Ohh, it seems you know about the potion, tell all you know, and we'll let you go, you have my word, I'm the leader of this group so you won't be hurt" Alex spoke
"I don't have an idea of what you are talking about, I don't know anything about potions," the rchant said with his hands shaking.
"Really, let's move outside, it seems you have no idea what situation you are in," Alex said as he dragged the rchant outside the carriage.
Lena, Zina, and Rebecca were returning with the girls and they saw the rchant, after seeing the rchant captured one of the girls lost control and ran toward the rchant.
"You bastard" the girl shouted as she ran towards him.
"Hey what's wrong with you" Max shouted as he stopped the girl.
"He took my sister, where is my sister?" the girl shouted at the rchant.
"Do you know her or her sister?" Alex asked and the rchant couldn't speak, he wasn't concerned about their families or anything, all that mattered was that the girls were young and fetched him money.
"I doubt he would know your sister, when was she taken?" Lynx asked the girl.
"Last ti he ca, around 20 days ago" the girl spoke as tears dropped down her cheeks.
"We should kill this bastard and be done with him, then we attack all the camp in this forest," Lynx said.
"Attacking the other camps isn't the problem here, even if we attack all the camps and free all the girls, we still haven't found soone to break the seal," Alex said.
"You would let us go?" the girl asked.
"Huh! Do you think we would keep you around, we have places to visit and beasts to slay, keeping slaves around would only hinder us," Alex said.
"I know a powerful mage in Zenith City that can break the seal, that is if he's still in the city," the girl said.
"Good, that solves our problem"
"My sister might still be in one of their camps, you say you would free the other girls right?" the girl asked in a low voice.
"Yes," Max said.
"So Alan back to our discussion, what do you know about the shadow potion?" Alex asked, "We're outside now and Lynx here really wants to kill you, so you either answer or..."
"You can go ahead and shoot , I don't know anything about any potion," the rchant said with his eyes closed.
"So he willing to die for a common potion" Gabriel mumbled.
"Let's start with shooting his legs" Alex whispered to Lynx and he smiled brightly, torturing sobody definitely has so trill to it, he wasn't going to get a chance in real life so he might as well make the most of it in Nova Online.
"I'm being really friendly right now, I'll ask again, what do you know about the shadow potion?"
"I told you I don't know..."
>BAM!!<
"Argghhhhh...my leg...arrghhh, please don't kill , please don't kill " the rchant scread as tears begin flowing down his eyes.
"Good it seems you now recognize the situation you are in, tell about the shadow potion," Alex said as he held the rchant's head.
"Please, they don't tell anything, I was just told to distribute it, I don't know anything" the rchant shouted.
"I thought you didn't know anything about potions, who are they?" Alex asked.
"Please spare "
"Second leg" Alex spoke.
"Haaa...No please, I'll talk, I'll... I'm going to die either way, if I tell you guys, they'll kill " the rchant cried.
"What is he talking about, who are they?" Gabriel spoke.
"Tell us about them, and we'll protect you, I promise," Alex said.
"Protect , you are no match, all of you guys are no match, kill I'm not going to say anything else" the rchant shouted.
"It seems the shadow potion is more troubleso than we can handle, if we keep asking about it, I'm sure we'll get in trouble," Max said.
"You are right but before that, Lynx shoot his other foot" Alex spoke.
