Chapter 36: Wait, I left the leader alive

''My green-haired lady,'' Julian's eyes softened a bit as he replied to the man's stuttering question. Their hearts were gripped with horror at his words; the woman was insane. Didn't that mean the man was worse than her? This thought sent terror through their heart.

A man collapsed to the ground, banging his head as he begged through tears, ''Please forgive me. I've lost so much already. Let me go. Please…'' tears and blood mixed on the ground as he begged for his life.

The others followed suit, begging as well. The sound of banging heads and cries filled the room, causing the woman outside to faint from fear, though she remained standing.

Julian brought out his sword, its sharpness gleaming under the light, ''if she was defenceless, who you have let her go? Now answer my question. Which of you, landed a hit on her?'' he pointed his sword towards them.
