Malevolent Warlock: Sin Of Eternity

71  Evil Peri?

In the bustling market of Eastern duan city.

 A young lady about 5'4 in a black cloak slowly emerged from the shadows of an alleyway and gradually made her way Across the street.

Right opposite her was the gate of the Jade tools mining company. There, two poorly fitted guards squatted down, playing cards on the ground. They didn't seem to be paying attention to their surroundings.

At least that was until the young lady came 10 meters in front of them.

"Hm? A kid?" One of the guards looked over at the cloaked figure and frowned. Why was this random kid walking towards the gate?

"Stop" He stood up to stop the cloaked girl, but in the next second, the body of the girl seemed to flip upside down.

Before he knew it

—bang

Her leg hit him directly on the side of his head, instantly knocking him out. Not even a second later, the girl used the sole of her boots to smash in the face of the other guard, who even at this moment hadn't felt her presence.

—Boom

All this happened in a split second. in fact, the body of the first guard hadn't even touched the ground when she attacked the second one.

—Wang

—Wang

Immediately after, two dark, bulky chains coiled out from the dark alleyway and wrapped itself around both of them. Then

—woosh

Both of their bodies were pulled into the alleyway with so much speed that the movers In the market didn't even notice a thing.

They just kept going on their way like nothing happened.

"Hmp!!" The young lady sneered and made her way through the gates of the Jade tool mining company. Upon getting inside, she causally strolled towards the main door.

A few workers were around but they didn't raise an alarm, partly because they believed that guards must have vetted the kid before letting her in.

This was a huge gap in their defenses and was really careless. But it was expected.

—click

16:19

The door to the main building clicked and was slowly opened. Then the young lady with the cloak stepped in.

As soon as she did, several female accountants looked over at her cautiously. No one was allowed into this building without their prior knowledge, so.....

—shing

—Wang

Slowly, each and every one one of the 12 female accountants started pulling out weapons from inside their drawers and from hidden compartments.

It didn't look like they had much security on the outside, because most of them were inside.

"Surround her!!" They sprang into action, rushing the young lady.

—woosh

—woosh

—woosh

Attacks started flying, with the young lady being able to dodge most of the attacks effortlessly. However, this caused a considerable disruption in the store that drew the attention of the boss.

Inside a particular office

"Hm?" A lady in her early to mid 30's raised her head from a pile of papers curiously. There were loud sounds coming from outside?

(Is something going on?")

She thought to herself before standing up and heading out. There she was dumbfounded to find that her office lobby had been turned into a battleground.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged lady looked over at the cloaked figure and asked with shock in her eyes. As soon as she entered the room, the fighting paused, so she was given the chance to ask.

She could vaguely see a faceless mask on the girls' face, she remembered placing a mission with them, and as per the faceless mercenary company's policy. They wouldn't take contradicting missions, for example.

If they received a protection mission and it was successfully allocated, then they wouldn't accept an assassination Mission for that same person.

There was also a matter of pricing. Peri was sure her enemies wouldn't risk the amount of money she spent to try to kill her.

"We are from the faceless mercenary company"

All of a sudden, a male voice sounded, but it surprisingly came from within the office of the middle-aged lady.

"Miss peri, your security is sorely lacking" Leon's figure emerged from inside the office with a rice ball in hand.

*The faceless mask had a retractable mouth compartment for eating.*

He had scouted this place for at most a day and was able to force this kind of situation. If he was here to kill her, she would definitely be dead.

It was no wonder why she had to hire extra security on her visit to the kentow family household.

"Sigh" Peri sighed, Leon was right, her security was sourly lacking and she knew it. But she didn't have a lot of people she could trust in this city.....

"You're only at the beginning stages of level 1, and she's also just at the middle stages. I specifically requested for someone at level 2 or higher" snapping out of her worried daze, peri questioned Leon.

A ranked missions would have a level 2 mage attached at least, that was why she spent this much money on it. So why were they just two level 1 fighters.

"Oh yes, Pridefulheart. You can come down now" Leon's voice echoed and all of a sudden, two bodies fell from the sky and dropped directly In front of the door.

 These two were the guards stationed outside the gate. They were out cold.

Following, this is a feminine figure descended slowly from the sky and landed directly behind the bodies.

"Flight??" Peri saw this scene and froze.

This was the mark of a level 3 mage.

"Everyone clean up this mess, you guys can come into my office for a more in-depth talk" peri commanded her people and invited Leon and the rest in.

They had invaded her shop, but she had no choice but to accept them with open arms.

Inside the office

"So, what do I call you all?" Peri sat on the main chair of her office and questioned. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I am Badur, this is Pridefulheart and this is fire jackal" Leon introduced his team to peri..

"Okay… Nice to meet you all" peri had some confusion on her face seeing Leon take the lead. She assumed that Arian would be the one in charge, so this was a bit strange.

"So what do you have in mind" Peri asked. Leon was complaining about her security and was hinting that she needed to improve it, so he must have a way.

This break in had given her a fright, she indeed had a lot of enemies, even her husbands' family wanted her dead.

Leon had heard her story and it was a sad one. She was forced into a contract marriage with the kentow family's tycoon, Ginn kentow, this was a person older than her father.

But because of the dept the family owed, she was forced to marry him, but a few years after their marriage a massive fire engulfed the family mansion, killing everyone in it. Except her.

This, of course, blemished her name in the family and the entire community, hence her nickname, Evil Peri. They believed her to be the cause of the fire and labelled her evil.

But with the few things her husband left for her, she was able to rebuild and create a legacy of her own.

And now the family that once called her a curse wanted her help and if she refused, they would try to kill her and take all she owned….she didn't want that to happen, but if Leon was capable of getting so close….

What would happen if someone did the same, but this time they were ready to kill? She didn't want that to come to pass.

"I can handle it, but you'll have to spend a good amount " Leon said casually.

This whole show was meant to scare peri into handing him the responsibility to beef up her security. And maybe get a little something.
