Chapter Eleven: The Weak Point

  Everyone was stunned for a moment, especially the thieves, who showed embarrassed and fearful expressions, because that was indeed the voice of Countess Silsa.

  "I'll go see what's up." Rickett winked at Raymond and headed towards the carriage.

  He walked to the closed car door, Rickett bowed his head as if listening to Silsa speak. After a moment, he turned back to Raymon with a somewhat strange look in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then beckoned him over with a gesture.

  Raymond walked up to the carriage, where Rickett spoke in a low voice: "The duchess has something to say to you."

  At this time, a cold voice came from inside the carriage: "Was it you and that beastman who saved me?"

  Although she spoke words of gratitude, Silica's tone still carried a habitual disdain, and she didn't even ask for Lutz's name.

  Raymond's eyes sank slightly, his expression displeased. Rickett hastily intervened, "That's Raymond's partner, Luz. The other cat person is called Bast."

  However, Sylvia showed no sign of apology for her attitude and simply said, "Raymond, I want you to do something for me."

  At this time, Raymond was quite displeased. Although he didn't have a pleasant time in the Beastman Empire, he was still a prince and his status wasn't any lower than Sylvia's.

  So those so-called aristocrats of Dinar who were supposed to be awe-inspiring, were no different from Raymond and others, and naturally had no deterrent power.

  So in his eyes, this woman's pride was worth nothing at all.

  However, at this time, Raymond was even more calm. He also hummed like Sylvia: "What's the matter?"

  The carriage fell silent for a moment, apparently, someone dared to speak to the nobility in this tone, which really shocked Xier Sa. After a long while, she said: "I want you to kill all the bandits for me!"

  "Why?"

  "Those insolent fools, how dare they insult me! They will all have to die!" Silsa said with hatred.

  "Is it just for this?" This time, Raymond was really surprised.

  "What did you say? What do you mean by 'just for this'?" Xier Sha said angrily.

  "Come on, it's just a glance, don't be so serious; besides, even if something did happen, do you have to kill so many people to vent your anger?"

  Xier Sha was taken aback for a moment, then trembled with rage and said: "You... you dare... do you know who I am?"

  "What about Wyrick's daughter, Lora?" Raymund said with no respect in his tone when mentioning Sylvia's father.

  It was probably the first time she had met such a bold and reckless commoner, and Silsa was almost driven mad with rage. But thinking that she needed this person to avenge herself, she could only try her best to calm down.

  At this moment, the curtains of the carriage were drawn open, revealing Silsa's face. Just like that day, she sat in the carriage looking down at Raymond with a superior attitude.

  "It's not just for my own sake, but for the dignity of my family. If what happened to me today gets out, do you know how big an impact it will have? So those robbers must die!" The lovely girl in the carriage, at this moment, had eyes that shone with a ferocious light like that of a beastman.

  Unfortunately, neither the dignity of a noble nor the nobility's prestige could move Raymond in the slightest. He waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I only saved you because it was convenient to lend a hand, but I didn't plan on being your hitman."

  As he spoke, he didn't even glance at the pale-faced Sylvia, and turned to leave. After taking two steps, Raymond turned back: "By the way, if it makes you feel any better, the bandit leader has been taken care of, and the guy who ripped your clothes is also dead."

  "I think this degree of humiliation is already a pretty thorough revenge."

  Boom!

  The answer was the sound of heavy objects in the carriage crashing violently to the ground.

  Raymond's incomprehensible behavior in front of Ciel left Rickett greatly shocked. Like everyone who was used to Dinaresen's strict hierarchy, he couldn't imagine why Raymond could maintain such an impolite or calm attitude when facing a noble like Ciel.

  But after the shock, gradually, Ricket began to feel something different. Especially when Xier was almost driven mad by Raymond, he even saw admiration in Raymond's eyes.

  At this time, Raymond walked back. Harriet asked cautiously: "What did that girl say to you? Why are you so angry?"

  "Raymond shrugged: 'She told me to take you all out.'"

  "What did you say?!"

  "Hallot shouted, then took a step back and drew his sword with a sorrowful tone: 'I knew you wouldn't let us go so easily, brothers... Let's fight him!'"

  "I didn't agree."

  "Ah, Lord Ramon, you are the most kind-hearted person I have ever met." Harlot immediately dropped his sword and hugged Ramon's leg, loudly praising him.

  "What... what is your face made of?"

  "Look, before the guards arrive, you'd better run for it."

  Harold was so moved he almost cried: "Lord Raymond, I will never forget you."

  After sending Harlot away, Reimond said to Ricket: "Freddie is handed over to you, we are leaving too."

  "Are you leaving too?" Rickett was taken aback.

  Raymond nodded: "I just ran over out of curiosity and didn't want to get involved in your business, so it's time for me to leave now."

  Ricket stretched his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end he just nodded: "Then, have a smooth journey, and I hope we can meet again someday."

  "Alright, Rutz, Bast, let's go." Raymon waved his hand: "Anyway, after the defense team arrives, it has nothing to do with us."

  But just as he was passing by Freddy's side, Raymond suddenly stopped in his tracks.

  Something is off, something is off, extremely off.

  Raymond's heart suddenly surged with intense unease, for just as he mentioned the security team, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Freddie, who had become a prisoner below, and saw that he didn't show any unease at all, but instead flashed a hint of mockery on his face.

  It's as if they were the ones who failed from start to finish.

  No matter how you look at it, this is not normal.

  And so, from that moment of doubt, suddenly, Raymond's heart was enlightened.

  The guards at the Plaza arrived too quickly, as if they had been waiting for this moment all along. Moreover, since it was a strict secret that Silsa would take this route, how could ordinary guards have known about this place?

  Besides, even if they sensed something was off, mobilizing so many people at once is too abnormal. All of this is extremely unreasonable, but no one realized it before.

  "Wait a minute, something's off."

  But when he heard this sentence, Freddy's face also changed.

  "Meow, young master, what's wrong again?" It was clear that the cat girl wanted to leave quickly.

  "When you see those people, how much longer will it take for them to get here?" Raymond asked.

  Bast thought for a moment: "I was observing from a high place, relatively far away. Plus the other side has many people, and the road here is very difficult to walk, so counting the marching time, it's probably still about a quarter of an hour."

  The usually muddle-headed cat girl was exceptionally clear-headed and astute at this moment.

  "What's going on?" Just then, Rickett also walked over.

  Raymond expressed his inner doubts to him, and Rickett was surprised: "How could that be?"

  "It shouldn't be wrong, those so-called defensive teams are probably also Freddie's backup." Raymond said with certainty.

  "Haha, very clever, I'm surprised you noticed that." At this time, Freddy, who had been silent all along, suddenly clapped his hands: "But don't you think it's too late?"

  As he spoke, Frese's gaze turned to the hillside where he had been before. Suddenly, two people appeared at the top of the hill, looked around for a moment, and then disappeared again.

  "It's their scout, we've been spotted." Rikit's face turned pale.

  The enemy's advance scouts have already arrived, which means that everyone has no way to escape or hide before being discovered.

  "How detestable! Young master, let me kill him first!" Bastard's anger got the better of him as he drew his curved knife.

  "No, leave him be, because now I'm more and more curious about what this guy is up to." Raymond stopped her.

  Seeing Raymond remain unruffled in this situation, maintaining his calm thinking, Freddy's eyes widened even more in astonishment.

  Where did this kid come from? Why did I get him involved...

  "It's still not too late, Ricket. Go get Sylvia, we have to leave at once." said Raymond to Ricket.

  Nodding, Ricket dashed towards the carriage while Raymond walked towards the group of thieves.

  "You guys are mainly active in this area, right? So is there any place around here with a treacherous terrain that's easy to defend?" Ramon asked as he walked over and grabbed Harlot.

  At this time, Harlot was about to leave with his subordinates and had no idea what had happened. Being asked by Raymond like this, he couldn't help but feel shocked: "What did you say?"

  "No time for nonsense, tell me quickly." Raymond jerked him up by his collar.

  Seeing Raymond's expression was not joking, Harlot hurriedly said: "Not far away, there is a secret valley, which is our bandit gang's secret hiding point in this area, and it should meet your requirements."

  He said carefully, "Why are you asking this?"

  Obviously, his underlying message is: What else do you want to play with, just say it...

  Raymond smiled and put his arm around his shoulder, saying: "I'm telling you, if you don't want to die, it's best to take us there quickly."

  At this time, a loud cry came from Xier's side: "The lord of Plaza City is the trusted minister of my father. How can his guard betray him?"

  "Milord, this troop doesn't feel right, for safety's sake, please come with us immediately."

  "Is that guy talking again? I will never listen to such an impolite person." Silvia said stubbornly.

  Seeing Xier Sha's insistence on not leaving, Rikit gritted his teeth and suddenly said: "Then, please excuse my rudeness."

  "What the...! Ahh, let me go!" Sylvia cried out in surprise as Riki roughly slung her over his shoulder.

  Everyone looked at him and simultaneously gave him a thumbs up.
