Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

Ow!

" Ugh!"

"Who the hell are you?

A big group of men screamed and rolled around. Some were blown away and fainted, some were cowering with broken bones, and some were retreating in fear. Not a single one of them tries to stand up against me.

"It's not easy for you, Your Excellency. to have your beloved daughter kidnapped by a bunch of people.

But something didn't make sense. The duke's bodyguards are excellent,warriors  with a  rank  of C- and B-ranked  and one A-ranked. I'm not sure how much of a difference there is in the numbers, but I can't see how they could  be defeated by  small fish like this.

"...... So this is the prison where the guards are being held."

I looked and saw that there was a  door with a padlock on it, so I released a tiny shockwave to destroy the lock.

"Is the duke's bodyguard here?"

"...... Who are you?"

This time, one of the good-dressed men who had been chained up asked me.

"I am Eberhard Karlheinz von Flensburg Fahrenheit, Lily's  fiance . Lily contacted me and I rushed to her aid.

It seems that they couldn't see my face in the dark, so I used the magic "lighting" to illuminate the prison, and when they saw my face, they said in surprise.

"Master Eberhard!"

"You can  be amazed later. Can you move?"

I break their chains and turn.

"You're our savior ul. you very much. Where' is Lily ?

"I've already taken her to the safe place . I will defeat the enemy. I want some of you to go and escort  her .

"Yes, . Hey, Jade, Tony, Alan. You guys head to the young lady's side . Maids, too. Terry, Roger, Alfred. You're  camin with me to destroy and capture the  bandits . Sasha, you talk to the town patrol  to told them to send out  unit . Show them the duke's family crest."

「「「「 yes 」」」」

He is an excellent duke's escort knight. He made a mistake once, but once he was freed, he quickly regained his composure and acted quickly.

"What about you,   sir Eberhard?

"Of course,  I  will destroy  them."

When I responded, the escort captain turned over and told me.

"There is one enemy who is too much for us to handle. He is the one we ...... Please be very careful with that enemy.I think  he probably an A+ rank."

A+ rank. In terms of strength, he's one rank below my dad, and probably about the same level as me right now. At the very least, he's strong enough to have defeated multiple escort knights in addition to this A-ranked escort captain.

"...... Hey, what' happens while  I was  not here ?"

"Felix, ......!　You're resting, Capet."

"Fuck up, ....... So why are you guys running?"

The man who came out from the back of the hideout was a man in his thirties, carrying a long long great Sword on his shoulder, who looked like the kind of adventurer the captain of the guard had just told us about. He was about six feet tall, with a medium build, and his hair was neither too long nor too short.

Above all, he has a savage look in his eyes. Even now, even though he had killed the man who had complained to him in an instant, he acted as if nothing had happened, which could only be described as creepy.

"It's that guy, . Eberhard, ....... He's the one that  messed up with us . ......!"

"Oh, what, you want to run away after I beat you?　I don't like that. My employer would be very  angry.

"Employer?"

"Me, my little gentleman.

"...... you.

Another man came out of the room. It was that stinky merchant-looking man who had come to the Fahrenheit house a few days ago to meet with father.

"Business is booming."

"Slaves can be sold at a high price.

"Just when I had stared t a  kidnapping business  and  the duchess came to visit. It's no exaggeration to say that the luck  was  already on my side, isn't it?"

The stinky merchant-looking man tapped the shoulder of the man standing beside him called Felix.

"Fortunately, I've made a new connection with Felix the Wind Slayer, a renowned bouncer, and this  i will have  rint now duke  daughter   and a legitimate son of a frontier count in one go?"

. If the enemy had kidnapped Lily for some   other reason, I would have found it difficult to do the same. But when I   saw  them wi my eyes, I understand  that they were human trash. This way, I wouldn't have to worry about overdoing  things .

"Eberhard."

"You guys need to stay back. You don't want to get caught in the middle of this."

"...... Thank you, . Good luck. ...... Hey, we're take care of other the Hurry up and get to move "

"Yes !"

Due to my hasty flight, I only have about half of my magic power left, but strangely enough, I don't feel as if I am going to lose.

"Felix the Wind Slayer. I've never heard of him.

"Oh?　You don't know me, an A+ ranked adventurer?"

"I'm afraid no .  I've got a much better   people around me ."

"The kid is ....... That's the kind of thinking you get from being spoiled, isn't it?　I'll play with you for a while.t, though the cost of  such behavior  is high!

"You're a ragtag bunch of losers. ......"

"Fuck you!

"Haha, you're  taking  kid too serious d."

The air between the two was tense. In the midst of this tense air, the two of them gradually close the gap.

One of the escorts retreated and made a jarring sound. That sound was a signal, and the rest of the  escort jumped out of the way.
