Capital Crime

After finishing her conversation with Her Highness Su Ran, Isa finally walked out of the small house she lived in and stretched.

The small house Her Highness Su Ran had arranged had not been taken back and had always been in Isa’s possession.

For this training trip outside the city, the small house had naturally become Isa’s base.

Even though Isa was wearing a witch set that could regulate her body temperature, placing it in a small house full of magic formations and sleeping comfortably was enough to replenish Isa’s fatigue for the day.

“How can there be people here?”

Isa, who was stretching, had a serious expression.

Her gaze was locked on a spot behind the house.

She instantly took out two bottles of potion from her ring and tiptoed towards the direction she had sensed.

“Haha! We’re in luck! We actually found a house! Brothers, we don’t have to spend the night in the wilderness!”

The man saw the eaves of the house and called out to the brothers behind him to follow, walking towards the location of the house.

“Boss Worley, you said it was the wilderness. How did a house suddenly appear?”

Beside the leader, Worley, someone looked at the house in front of them, full of doubt.

However, his caution did not win his boss’s praise.

Instead, he got a knock on the head.

“You worry too much. The house must have been built recently. Our Giant Croc Mercenary Group hasn’t been here recently. Follow me, all of you! We don’t have to sleep on the ground tonight!”

The leader, Worley, shouted, and the subordinates following behind him responded loudly.

“Yes!”

They didn’t know that Isa had already come to the bushes near them.

Looking at the figures heading towards her house, she repeated in a low voice, “The Giant Croc Mercenary Group?”

Isa knew that Worley was the leader of the Giant Croc Mercenary Group.

Isa hadn’t expected that after she had left the city to hunt magical beasts nearby, she would run into them here.

“Should I finish them all?”

Sensing that the highest superhuman sequence on the other side was only Sequence Three, equivalent to her own, and that the Giant Croc Mercenary Group had participated in the attack on the Witch’s Society, Isa for a moment had the thought of leaving them all here.

Isa shook her head, temporarily putting aside the thought of leaving them all behind.

To deal with all the enemies here, Isa needed to make preparations in advance.

Isa decided to wait and see, and to strike immediately when the right opportunity arose.

However, before that, Isa’s steps still followed behind the mercenaries.

Worley led his subordinates and gradually advanced towards the eaves of the house they had just arrived at.

On the way, they were already thinking that they wouldn’t have to sleep on the damp ground tonight.

Pushing aside the bushes that blocked their view, Worley and the others finally saw the full view of the cabin in the woods.

“Is anyone in there?”

Worley shouted loudly, standing outside the door for a long time without a response.

A look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

“No one’s here, let’s go in!”

After speaking, Worley led the way into the cabin, without any consideration for the situation after the owner of the house returned.

For mercenaries like them, only their fists were the hard truth.

Besides, they were just borrowing the place for a while.

They weren’t taking their lives, what more did they want?

From Worley’s skilled shouting to his guilt-free preparation to enter the house, this series of actions showed that these mercenaries could be considered habitual offenders.

However, this house was completely different from the ones they had encountered before.

This was a gift from Her Highness Su Ran.

Now, Isa, who was behind Worley, was preparing to enjoy a good show.

The subordinate who had received Worley’s order immediately rushed towards the house, impatiently, as if he wanted to enjoy the comfortable bedsheets in the next second.

“Bastards, do you even have me, your boss, in your eyes?”

Watching his brothers rush past him towards the house, Worley’s heart was filled with anger.

‘Doesn’t this group of people know to let their boss go in first?’

But soon, Worley’s original anger turned into lingering fear.

The brothers running in front of him had involuntarily stopped in their tracks.

Worley, who still didn’t know what had happened, snorted lightly from his nose.

“So you still have me, your boss, in your eyes.”

Just as Worley was about to speed up and pass his brothers, a series of “pfft” sounds were heard.

The abnormal sound made Worley, who had lived the life of a mercenary for many years, subconsciously jump up.

Then, he saw the most terrifying scene of his life.

The mercenaries who had stopped in their tracks fell to the ground as if they had lost their support.

Worley turned over a nearby mercenary.

The joy on his face had not yet faded, but his pupils were constricted, as if he had seen something terrifying.

‘Pfft?’

Worley still found something abnormal on his brother’s body.

He dragged the corpse in front of him over and quickly went to check the second, and then the third.

After checking the corpses around him, Worley discovered in horror that each of his dead brothers had a finger-sized blood hole on their foreheads.

“What the hell is going on!!!”

Having lost most of the brothers he had brought, Worley could no longer remain calm and roared.

Isa was behind Worley.

If it weren’t for avoiding attracting the other’s attention, she might have laughed out loud.

The magic formation that had been set up around the house had protected her from the ghouls’ attack, and now, the magic formation was diligently guarding the house.

The magic formation, with its almost transparent magic essence bullets, that guarded the house could even injure a Sequence Four Earth Dragon, let alone the Sequence Three and below mercenaries it was now facing.

“Damn it!”

Worley pulled out his dagger and threw it fiercely at the house.

Unlike the living creatures that approached, the dagger, which was not imbued with magic essence, did not trigger the magic formation’s detection and went straight into the door, flashing with a cold light.

Worley sensed that the temperature around him was dropping rapidly.

Unlike the cold of winter, this bone-chilling cold was bursting out from within.

“Unforgivable!”

A clear female voice came from behind Worley, but it made him shiver.

He followed the voice and looked back.

An unexpected figure appeared behind him.

“It’s you?”

Isa didn’t hide her figure.

Her iconic witch set was on.

Worley immediately recognized the woman behind him.

She was a witch!

Most importantly, she was the witch he had gathered people to take revenge on.

Worley hadn’t expected the other party to appear here.

“Since you dare to damage the house bestowed by Her Highness Su Ran, then you shall atone for it with your blood!”

Isa completely ignored what the other was saying.

This was her most cherished possession, holding her most precious memories.

Since he dared to leave a mark on the house with a dagger, in Isa’s heart, the other party had already been sentenced to death.
