62.5% The Asshai's Bloodmage / Chapter 39: Revenge part 1

Chapitre 39: Revenge part 1

 The Brown brothers, also known as Billy Brown the eldest and Bob Rat Brown the youngest, were the sons of Fatty Brown, a famous cloth merchant in the northern district. Lacking much beauty, the Brown brothers always stood out only for their money. Their father gave them a bar soon after they both came of age, giving them a steady source of income and making them stand out among the younger generation of commoners in the district. This prominence brought the brothers, who were devoid of Valyrian traits, a lot of arrogance, narcissism and conceit. And they basically became local tyrants, always bullying the weak and underprivileged using money. There were also many commoner maidens who were contaminated by the two.

However, in the northern district where there were a huge amount of bastards, immigrants, tourists, merchants and their children. There was someone who had an even greater fame than these two brothers, and that would be Omar. More handsome, more charismatic, a gentle man who treated everyone equally, with noble origins and a certain wealth not inferior to that of the two brothers.

Omar was the symbol of a good man and also a good candidate for a "husband" in the district, very different from the Brown brothers who used money and intimidation to get what they wanted. For Omar, things flowed very naturally and easily. The brothers' anger and jealousy towards Omar caused them to spread all sorts of false rumors against him. When Omar found out, he went to the brothers accompanied by Rafael and Gordo Zhang and taught them a valuable lesson through a conversation involving fists. After that, no matter where they met, a fight would always easily break out. The Brown brothers who were always on the losing side soon hired two henchmen to bring more balance to the fights they always had.

However, a certain person escalated the conflicts between them to an even higher level. And that person was Liza, the most beautiful flower in the district who was courted by all the young Valyrians, not only from the northern district, but from the other districts as well. Liza not only had Omar as her first man, but soon after becoming a high-class whore, only a few nobles could have a relationship with her, and this further infuriated the brothers who not only saw her as a beauty since they were younger, but now they could not touch her no matter how much money they offered. This caused the brothers' inflated ego to collapse for almost 2 years. When Gordo Brown finally increased his status by becoming a slave trader serving directly under the 5 Fingers, the Brown brothers still had Liza refuse them again. In their fury, unable to cross the final line with Omar, the two went out looking for blood, and that day, inflated by their father's new position of power, they put an end to the life of the former Rafael.

Today was Saturday and it was already past 7:00 pm, Rafael together with Omar and Fatty were in a store buying some masks and black cloaks. Rafael also bought other items that he would use later. As they returned to the carriage which was driven by two of Sir Arthur's men, the archer and the crossbowman. After analyzing the information sent by Black Cat, Rafael finally got information about the Brown brothers' mansion. The two spent the whole week in their own bar which was on a busy street, so it was very difficult to do anything against them there. But every Friday, Saturday and Sunday they would go to their father's mansion.

Therefore Black Cat's investigation was to find out who would be in this mansion today. There were 4 guards who maintained the security of the place, 2 at the front entrance and 2 at the back. In the mansion at night and on weekends, there would be a chef, the butler and 2 other maids. Only on Monday would there be more employees during the day and night, such as gardeners and other servants. Now that Gordo Brown had become a slave trader it was rumored that there would also be slaves inside his residence and at least two more guards constantly watching over these slaves. There could be harlots or some guest and their possible guards, but that was not a problem for Rafael and the others' plans.

The carriage passed through the two entrances of the mansion at around 8:00 pm and after confirming the presence of the 4 guards, the carriage stopped in a dark forest where everyone got out and waited for time to pass. Rafael continued doing the work he asked Ted to do by filling money bags with copper and even putting a silver or two in them. No one thought it strange what he did, because they also needed to do it sometimes. When it was midnight, they finally advanced towards the mansion. Sir Arthur's two men had their task which was to eliminate the two from the bottom and then dispose of the bodies using the property's well. But the job of getting rid of the 2 front guards still fell to Rafael and his two friends.

Taking a deep breath they approached the front of the mansion and jumped over the small wall before approaching the guards' hut, the first guard seeing the invaders shouted and started heading towards them with his sword in his hand, Rafael was the first to act, taking the crossbow already loaded in his inventory he shot at the man from very close range, at enormous speed, the arrow went through his chest while the tip came out of his back, he fell to the ground in agony. The second guard who was sitting got up scared when he heard the screams and taking out his sword he ran towards them, only then Omar and Fatty, who were still frozen, threw their crossbows, hitting the man who also couldn't resist his injuries, falling to the ground and also losing life quickly.

'Suddenly, all 3 of us took off our masks and vomited. It was my first time of them taking someone's life. Nobody said anything and not even Zhang made jokes at that moment, soon, we would all have to kill or die on our journey across the sea, it was better to be prepared for that before it happened and we had already had that conversation.'

Soon after we made sure they were dead, before moving the corpses away from the mansion wall and leaving the gate open for Omar's two men to take care of the bodies. We then went to the servants' house. There should be a chef and two maids, the butler should be inside the house serving his masters even at night if needed.

The window was open, I went in first and opened the door for them since Fatty wouldn't be able to get through the small space, we saw four rooms, but only two of them had anyone, a man slept in one and two middle-aged women slept in the other. other. Omar and Fatty placed a needle with the poison prepared by Jack on the two maids and I placed another on the boss's neck. He woke up for a moment looking at me scared without understanding before going back to sleep. We left there and went to the big mansion. Again I used a window and opened a simpler door that led directly into the kitchen.

The mansion had 3 floors and many rooms to check out. We had our beasts reloaded and ready, as well as daggers on our belts for use if necessary. I didn't want to kill anyone innocent like a slave or servant, but if the worst happened we would have to act. We searched the ground floor of the mansion together and found nothing. Just the kitchen, living room, dining room, a pantry with lots of food, a room with card tables along with a bar and finally the stairs that led to the basement and the second floor. The basement door was locked and we decided to leave it for last.

We went up to the second floor, leaving Fatty Zhang blocking the staircase and all that was on this floor was a new dining room, a library that was also a meeting room, and many bedrooms. On this floor we found a room that was locked and knocked on the door, then an old man opened it in surprise, I think he didn't know because he wasn't called in the normal way through the bell system in the rooms, he was still in his pajamas and a little drowsy . When he saw the crossbow aimed at him by me, he raised his hands up before I even gave the order to do so. Still shocked by the situation, he followed our demands and we put him to sleep using the poison again. Inside your room we found a huge set of keys. We already knew it had to be from different places in the house. Without finding anything else we finally reached the third floor.

Right at the beginning of the third floor we found a locked room, we used several keys until we discovered which was the correct one. Inside that room we found a type of office with several parchments and other papers, as well as paintings that were on the walls and some books, I put most of them in my inventory while saving most of the images in the system to facilitate cataloging later, I also took a huge safe in the corner of the room, it was the size of an old 29-inch tube TV. We went to the next rooms and found another locked room, this time one of our targets was the eldest son Billy. I applied a different poison to him, the kind that caused temporary paralysis, while we tied him up and left him there with his eyes open in terror, what surprised me was that he had a shadow bag next to the bed, I took it and we went to the bedroom next to his younger brother Bob, the one who stabbed the old Rafael. There was a woman in it who we assumed was a whore due to the absence of chains. The sleeping pill was administered to her and she was left tied to the bed. While the paralyzer was used again this time on the younger brother, while we were also tying him up, another bag was found again.

'It appears that the association with the 5 fingers allowed many benefits for the Browns as they both now had shadow bags.'

Then we finally arrived at the master bedroom on the third floor, we knew this because its door was much bigger and more elegant than the other rooms. The obese Fatty Brown was lying on the huge bed next to two slaves with chains around their necks, we almost wanted to kill him on the spot since one of the girls was just a teenager no less than 13 or 14 years old. We first put it out directly with the powerful sleeping pill. Then we woke up the slaves and made them tie the fat man to his own bed. We searched his room while the slaves looked at us in fear and we took another safe of similar size to the previous one, another shadow bag of course, and some more paintings and works of art. We left Fatty Brown in his own room before locking the door. The girls and I dragged the two Brown brothers, while Omar watched from afar, still fearing that they might do something. When we returned to the stairs on the first floor where Zhang was, I finally spoke to them:

—I'm the Red Sage, how many guards are in the basement? There are more slaves there? The older girl nodded and said:

"Yes, there are 4 guards and most of the slaves are women, there are many, Mr. Brown brought them to be "trained", but in reality he just wants to sleep with all of them before putting us up for sale."

I nodded thoughtfully, 4 guards will be a bit complicated, but I have a way to deal with them.

—Okay, go prepare clothes so the slaves can escape. Get whatever you need from the rooms, but nothing too flashy. I'll wait here on the stairs.

While we wait I look at the two brothers tied up and motionless. And I kick the one who stabbed me:

—Hey rat face, you thought you killed me, son of a bitch. 

He continued to look at me without understanding since I was wearing a mask and couldn't do anything. Zhang and Omar just laughed, soon the two women came back dragging a suitcase of clothes. I locked them in a room and asked them to wait until everyone was released. 

Then we headed towards the basement, this time as quietly as possible. I went ahead and went down the stairs first. The basement in the stairwell area is very dark, there must be some light, but we didn't look for it. Omar was right behind me and Zhang was last. When I got to the bottom of the stairs I could already see 4 men sitting at a lit table playing cards. Since they were right under the light it was easy to see them. A naked woman was sitting on one of their laps, which would make things difficult. On the right and left sides there were wooden shelves full of wine. This meant a quick place to hide from the arrows and retaliate.

I went back to the dark stairs and whispered my plan to Omar and Zhang. 

Omar and I advanced side by side silently, when we were within reasonable range. We looked at our targets. Since they were from the side the shot needed to be in the head or neck. We aim together, and after the signal I shoot the man sitting on the left and he shoots the one on the right.

"Puf"

"Puf"

The two arrows pierce the neck of the man on the left and the head of the man on the right at the same time. The man with his back turned takes a while to react. But the man facing us focuses his vision away from the table and sees our outlines in the dark. He stands up, holding the woman as a shield, and runs behind the wine shelves looking for protection. The second man reacts more slowly since his back is turned. He tries to run away too, but is hit by Zhang in the leg. He was waiting for the opportunity to hurt him without risking the slave's life. When he falls to the ground with his injured leg, I wave my hand in his direction and shoot my fireball spell. The flame comes out of my hand and quickly reaches his body. He screams as he burns and tries to roll away, putting out the flames, before suffocating on his own smoke and not moving anymore. The last man who was hiding saw through the cracks his companion being burned alive and was terrified.

Meanwhile, Omar and Gordo were fascinated by magic. I had already said that my magical powers were an inheritance from my mother. But I only discovered this this morning. I could have used a crossbow to finish off the third man, but I wanted to test the effect of my first spell. The range should be around 30 meters, more than that and it shouldn't even reach the target's feet. It will also lose a lot of power and be easy to dodge when the targets are at a distance of 20-30 meters. Another problem was the time it took to kill the target. If he resisted the pain and came towards me, it would be problematic, because I don't know if my own flames could burn me. The most obvious reason for using the flames was to terrify the last target and make him surrender. As soon as the man burned and Omar and Zhang were reloading their crossbows, I shouted:

—I am the Red Sage, a Blood Mage, have you heard of me? I have no intention of taking the life of someone who surrendered, if you leave peacefully I will spare your life so that you can tell the story of what happened here.

"Are you really the Red Sage?"

As I expected, in the northern district my name was already known by many.

—Yes, come out with your hands up and lie down slowly on the floor. 

The guard who was already terrified gave up fighting and lay down on the floor, soon Zhang put all his weight on his body holding him and we applied the sleeping poison. Omar found where to turn on the lights and illuminated almost the entire basement showing the extension of the enormous wine cellar, until we saw that not far from the other side opposite the basement stairs there was a gigantic cell. We saw at least 30 slaves, among them more than 20 were women. Soon we saw the woman in the corner still looking at us with fear.

'It was time to complete the revenge.'

I asked Omar and Zhang to call the two slaves who were left upstairs and bring the two Brown junks.
