Atoge also noticed that the surrounding area around the shop had become empty of any other people. This teashop was not located at the main market area but it was not located in a remote enough area that no pedestrian would be around. From this it was clear that the people who were surrounding the shop were from one of the three big gangs as other than then, so other organisations or people in this city had the capability to pull something like this off.

After seeing that the two ladies who were surrounded by them were getting ready to fight, one man stepped up in front of the group. He had a slender body and a feminine face, so he looked like a delicate person. But the aura he was giving off was powerful so it was clear that he was not a pushover.

His eyes had frosty anger burning inside but his face was still calm and steady. After stepping up he asked a question in a cold voice. He asked if someone named Arvin was killed by them or not. Elena remained silent and allowed Tomoe to handle the situation. It was a good opportunity for her to learn.

Arvin was the son of this man and was also one of the people who were trying to target Elena and Tomoe. So he was one of the people who were killed by them. But unfortunately Tomoe had never known his name so she just shook her head and replied in negative. Even though Tomoe had guessed that these people might be related to the thugs they had killed some time ago, she was not sure about that guess so for the time she denied the accusations.

Hearing that the eyes of the man became even more frosty and anger started to burn in them. But still he maintained his calmness and asked for one of the men to hand him something. It was a rolled up parchment and after it was opened, Elena and Tomoe showed that there was a picture of a young man inside it. Tomoe was able to recognise this young man as the person who was ordering the group which was killed by them.

Noticing the look of recognition, that man again asked if this man in the picture was killed by them or not. This time Tomoe did not deny anything and nodded her head in affirmation. Immediately all the people who were surrounding them started to release a vast amount of killing intent toward Elena and Tomoe.

This show intimidation was so strong that even though he was not the primary target of the killing intent, Atoge fell on his knees just by the slight leakage of the dense killing intent. But the people toward whom this was actually channeled were perfectly fine even in a situation like this.

Seeing this, the man who was the leader of the group understood that these two ladies here were definitely powerful. As they were hiding their faces with a hood, he had no idea who these ladies were. He knew most of the top tier powerhouses of the surrounding region but he was unable to recognise them at all.

But as his son was killed, even if these ladies were powerful, he could not let go of the grudge. He was the leader of the security division of the "Cursed Order". He had a reputation to maintain and not reacting to his own son's death was bad for that reputation. He himself was a top grade B rank powerhouse. So if both of them were not A rankers, then he should have no problems dealing with them with all the men had brought with him.

With that thought in mind, he wasted no more time in verification and made his move. He pulled out a long bastard sword and attacked Tomoe. Taking that as their signal, all the other men also attacked at the same time. Not only would weapons but also with spells. Everyone was sure of their success with this super powerful team assault.

But then they saw a single slash of swords. This single slash lit up the night like a rising sun. As soon as the spells came in contact with this sword slash, they all were immediately destroyed. As for the people with weapons, they also become as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the sword. Many people here died with just this one attack.

After slashing at the people attacking her for just one time, Tomoe looked at the devastation that it had caused and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. Even though the man who was the leader of the group was at the forefront of this attack, he had still managed to endure this attack without dying. He had hurt quite a bit and his left leg had completely disappeared. But at least he was still alive and well. He should be able to grow back this missing leg of his with enough time.

Tomoe was very impressed by this. For a B ranker, surviving the full powered attack of a S rank powerhouse was a very big deal. Tomoe judged that this man would even be able to match a newly promoted A ranker in battle. So she asked him his name.

But now this man had understood that the people he was facing were not just mere B or even A ranker. That frightening attack was stronger than anything he had ever seen in his life. So currently he was in a very difficult situation and was scared for his life.

After hearing the question he was stunned for a little bit but then he calmly replied that his name was Lanchester. He then also apologised for his son and his own behaviour. It looked like he had now fully accepted his defeat and was willing to accept any person. If these people were actually S rankers, then even his own life would not be enough of an apology.

But as Tomoe was impressed by the prowess he displayed, she decided to let them go. She was sure that after seeing her power they would not try to target them again and Tomoe was happy with this outcome. But before that she did not forget to follow Elena's teachings and stripped the people of all their money and valuables before letting them go. Elena's bad influence was rubbing off on Tomoe and she was also turning into a bandit hunting greedy lady.

...

After all the men went back with empty pockets, Elena and Tomoe again sat back down in the chairs. Atoge was super surprised by the strength that they had displayed. Last time when they saved him, he was way too scared and had failed to notice how strong these kind ladies were. But now he was amazed by their strength.

After that Elena and Tomoe decided to accept the request that he was making. But this was not going to be an easy job. As clues Atoge only had an old picture of this son and his son's name which was Oreon. But that picture was really old so the face of the man could change a bit after such a long time and as this was a city filled with criminals, there was a high chance that Oreon had changed his name here.

So this would definitely not going to be an easy mission for Tomoe. As for Elena, it was easy if she went all out. But there was no fun in that so she was not going to do it at least for the time being.
