Chapter 24 - Chapter 24 Lurker

"Bitch! Stop uttering nonsense. Now get ready to die." The middle-aged man shouted.

Silver was about to jump into the crowd but William held her back. 

"Wait! And who you might be?" he asked.

"Good. Know this before you meet your maker and tell him I Dicken Gous send you to him." The middle-aged man said with satisfaction and waved his hand signaling his gang to attack the group of five teens.

Screams of war cry erupted as they charged toward them with their galloping horses.

Silver was about to make her move again. But William insisted, "Fine. Ash, you take care of them within three minutes or you're washing all of our clothes."

Hearing that Ashley scorned annoyingly. However she rushed forward with her cold appearance.

Everyone felt a gale and ten men were screaming as they all had big holes over their chests. Their horses neighed and ran away in fright. These made the incoming horses in a disarray making them to run back in all directions. Most of them collided and their riders fell over the ground.

Some of them trampled under the hooves of those frightened horses.

William snickered, "Nice. That's one way to turn the momentum if you are against horses."

Even Gon snorted, "These bandits are too foolish to charge at us using those untrained horse. What a let down? I was expecting Sister Ash to loss the wager and wash our clothes."

Silver on the other hand raised her hand and cheered, "Now go for their head, Ash!"

Ashley almost lost her appetite of the fight as they seemed too easy for her but hearing that from Silver made her eyes glint and turned toward Dicken.

Dicken was taken by a surprise for the past few seconds as the attack was sudden and his brain kept analyzed the situation and came to realize today he hit the wall. They were not simple normal people he met here in this town.

He knelt over the ground, began to kowtow and said, "Forgive me. Please spare me and my family. I overstep."

Ashley never faced this situation before making her consider what to do in this situation.

The crowd were silent.

William announced, "You only have three seconds left!"

Ashley snorted and poked at the neck of the kneeling man killing him at the instance. "Nah, you better stay death for the good of this town. Plus, speaking with that tone to us roy….is enough for your death."

After that the crowd felt fear of those youths and they bowed quickly walked away from that place.

William looked at her and said coldly, "Next time, never hesitate. If I say kill, you kill. Otherwise.." He didn't finish his sentence as he began walking toward the gate of the town.

"Otherwise what?"

William ignored her and kept going. "We are leaving this town today. We've exposed enough. The spies of those princes will learned of us here soon. So, let's go."

Ashley was still annoyed but she knew she had to stop here or else Silver beside her will poke at her nipples. This was exactly why she joined this group. After defeating her in a duel Silver made fun of her by poking at her nipples saying, "Cover your big boobies and don't even think about seducing my brother William using these. And if you misbehave I'll poke them. So come tomorrow at the right time. See you,"

Remembering those embarrassing moments she turned and saw the playful eyes of Silver over her chest. She unconsciously folded her arms around her chest.

Silver giggled and slapped over her back saying, "What are you even thinking, Ash?"

They boarded their chariot and the journey continued. 

After three hours, the chariot stopped as it was dark.

"Sir, it's dark and moving forward will be troublesome. So, let's stop here for tonight." The driver asked.

"Fine, we'll spend the night here." William agreed.

He pulled canvas from his backpack and build a large tent.

The other princes and princesses were not bringing their own. They didn't come as prepare as William.

Next William went out and came back carrying a large pile of dried-up woods. He made a bonfire.

Others looked at him weirdly. Silver was not surprise as she had already went on a training trips with William in the wild. So she had already witness about William's awareness in the wild.

The group gathered around the fire. None of them spoke a word.

"Silver, bring out those meats." William ordered.

Silver quickly run into the tent and came back with a large carcass of a deer.

William used his waist dagger and began cutting off meats cleans from the bones.

He then use sticks and began making kebabs.

Ashley and Wilson looked at him with surprise and thought when did he learned such things. Princes were forbidden from learning cookings. Still they didn't spoke out their minds. Because they were hungry.

On the other hand, Gon was watching everything very carefully. This was a learning phase for him. He thought this skill was very important.

After making all the meats into kebabs, William took a stick and ate the first kebab.

"Good enough. Alright, guys help yourself. Tomorrow, we're continuing the journey when the first light come in the sky."

He even invited the driver and share a portion to enjoy.

After filling their stomachs and standing near the fire, they felt sleepy and all went into tent.

Only William remained eating those kebabs.

Half an hour later, he spoke, "I know you're lurking there. Why don't you make your move already?"
