Tear A Path

She"d told her Syilir (the captain) to bring him in, as in take him to their area. He must have taken it as to arrest Zhao Wei. Then she began to sweat, when she gave the command, they asked if they should use lethal force, thinking it was a joke considering how strong Zhao Wei was she jokingly answered them. but she forgot that not everyone would"ve heard what happened in the council building as most of the higher ups wanted to keep under wraps the fact that they had their doors and body guards beaten down by one guy and their council room easily infiltrated. In her answer she said words along the lines of "You can try..." and left while laughing, she didn"t think they would take that as approval!

She couldn"t believe they actually did try. "Zhao Wei, what happened to them!?" grabbing his shoulders so that he couldn"t escape back into his carriage.

He couldn"t look her in the eyes, "Umm... I roughed them up a little, most of them should be alive..."

"Should be!?... alive...!?" She looked at him incredulously. Those were all the royal guards under her command, even in the same rank they were at least a notch higher in terms of skill than those from other groups, and this guy was talking as if if he killed them it would be an accident.

"It"s not my fault!! I was just going to knock that captain out!!... but then... Panda kicked him." As he spoke his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Who the h.e.l.l is Panda!? and why"d he try to kill the captain of my guards!?" She asked even more intensely.

"It"s a she..." he murmured.

"No the important part right now!..." she screamed.

"Yes, yes... Umm Panda"s my rabbit.. and she probably just wanted to tap him... lightly" he said while tapping his pointer fingers against each other, keeping away from eye contact.

Her eyes began to twitch "Your rabbit killed a captain!?" she wanted to scream, but even she felt like those words didn"t sound right. She couldn"t deal with this guy, if he accidentally used too much strength then fine it makes sense, but he"s saying his rabbit used too much strength and accidentally killed a guy. Isn"t that too much!! even in a different world!!

Just as she thought that around 20-30 guards marched towards them stopping only when they encircled them. "Mr w.a.n.g Zhao Wei, we are here under orders to arrest you for crimes against the kingdom, if you resist we will be forced to use extreme measures to detain you and kill you if necessary."

Zhao Wei looked at Kitsi, "These your guys too?"

Kitsi rea.s.sured him, "It"s fine I"ll go talk to them." she walked up to the man who spoke, "My name is Kitsi Najiga, head of the Princess"s royal guard, the arrest warrant issued yesterday was under the authorization of one of my subordinates which I would like to formally rescind, please withdraw your troops so that we may advance to clear this issue with the judicial department."

The man didn"t budge, "I don"t know about any warrant issued before this, the council has just issued the order immediately for the arrest and detainment of this man, so if you would step aside we will be conducting our a.s.signment."

Kitsi was stunned by the change of events, suddenly one of the men in the front swung his blade towards Kitsi, who was pulled back by Zhao Wei just in time to miss having her head lopped off. Instantly he began running while dragging her behind him.

"What the h.e.l.l!?" the captain of the squad looked at the guard who struck out. "I saw her reach for her weapon! sir!" he explained.

The captain looked suspiciously at him before ordering all the men to give chase.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Zhao Wei!! we shouldn"t run, you didn"t do anything wrong!!" Kitsi shouted at him. "If we let them bring you in I"m sure they will clear up any suspicions they have of you."

"That"s if they want to bring me in," he told her while he navigated the streets, zig-zagging every few seconds as he ran. "I"m sure that the guy who attacked you wanted to stir up trouble to give them a reason to fight." Shocking Kitsi.

The man before had swung his blade at Kitsi but his killing intent the whole time was directed at him and he could feel several others in the group who were bracing themselves as soon as they saw him as if they were already prepared to take him down even before the squad leader gave the signal.

The attack on Kitsi was bait for him to retaliate to give them a reason to go into full a.s.sault. It"s lucky his parents didn"t raise a fool as he dashed around the corner. By this point the guards could no longer catch him. Every few seconds as he ran, he"d randomly put 2-3 Wrap Traps on the way. with the guards running in such a tight formation they were bound to get tripped up.

At first they tried to pull their comrades out which was a lot more difficult said than done as it took 4 of them working together with the caught person to pull them out. After the second and third time, they opted to leave their comrades for the time being as they saw that the tentacles from these traps didn"t hurt them anyway.

But they"d already been left too far behind to catch up.
