Bab 445: Auction trap (22)

Once all of the attackers had been subdued, the driver came back to the carriage to check on me.

But before any of them could reach the carriage, there was a ball of fire that suddenly appeared.

Before any of them could do a thing, the ball of fire had landed on the carriage and blew it up.

There was only a second of silence before they all ran over to check on the carriage. But all they could see was a smouldering mess that had once been the carriage burning in the middle of the road.

The driver looked at Shaka and Shaka looked back at him before both of them rushed forward. With the way that they raised their hands, it was as if they were prepared to pull apart this burning mess to look for the person who had been inside.

But before they could, there was a voice that said, "There's no need for that, I already left the carriage."

As soon as they heard this voice, they immediately turned to see me standing there with Shadow Five by my side.
