'Be careful?'
Kuer Horton jolted, but reacted right away since he was no idiot, nodding at Kieran gratefully before pushing the door open.
Outside the carriage, Borl was still surrounded by the soldiers.
"I really don't mean any harm, I won't cause any trouble either. I'm a legal merchant!"
Borl explained to Kuer Horton in a bitter smile.
The soldiers around him also looked at the young noble, waiting for a new order.
Kuer Horton waved his hand. He was actually on guard but he did not show anything on his expression.
"It's fine, he…"
BANG!
Before the young noble finished, one of the soldiers suddenly pulled the trigger.
Flash shone at the muzzle of the musket and the pellet shot out was flying towards the young noble.
As though he could predict the future, right after the soldier pulled the trigger, Kuer Horton stepped aside then drew his flintlock pistol along with the motion, then pulled the trigger.
Bang!
