Assassin's Chronicle Chapter 217

Chapter 217
"Why are you trying to kill me?" Anfey asked coldly . The feeling of joy only stayed with Anfey for a very short time . Joy never dominated Anfey long because being calm was his instinct . Anfey did not forget what he should say at this moment . He actually did not talk to Shamash, but to the civilians who were looking on .
"I…" Shamash was scared and forgot how to argue . He even forgot to beg for his life .
"You do not have to explain . " Anfey turned away . He waved his flaming sword, which created a track of heat . Shamash was only a senior swordsman . He was so scared that he did not make any response before he got hit by the flaming sword .
Onlookers leaned their heads back to follow Shamash's head being thrown high in the sky . The body twitched before falling on the ground . Those watching screamed in surprise . No matter what kind of reputation Shamash had, he was a well-known person in Violet City . However, he was killed like he was just a little chicken . Not only the surviving personal soldiers' jaws dropped, onlookers stared wide-eyed .
"Stop, stop . " A loud voice arose in the distance . "Master asked Master Shamash to go back now . Don't make any trouble . " The clip-clop of hooves sounded closer to them .
The onlookers made a path for a group of horses . A boy around seven years old stepped back as others moved to the side . Maybe he had no guardian to take care of him, or his parents forgot to take him with them as they made the path . That boy just stood there, looking at the dead body . The little boy did not know how to cover his emotions . He looked scared and curious and totally forgot that a group of horses were coming his way .
The people on the horses were only concerned about rushing forward . As people made a path for them, it became too late for them to stop in time . Everyone watched as a horse was ready to step on the little boy .
A flaming fireball shot out and hit the fore legs of the horse . The fireball flew so fast that it left a trace of red shadow .

Fire elements shoot out everywhere . Anfey had to move two steps back to steady himself . The rider and the horse rolled back like a rolling windmill . They rolled over for about a dozen yard . On watchers were startled by what they saw again .
Anfey felt sharp pain in his arms after the flaming shield disappeared . The flaming shield had turned into a real object before it disappeared . Others might have seen that Anfey literally crashed into the running horse . Actually it did not happen as they thought they had seen . Anfey was not that stupid . His flaming shield hit right below the horse's neck . He pushed the flaming shield diagonally upwards . Anfey did take some hit but not all of the hit, otherwise he would not have knocked the horse so far .
The rider struggled to come to his senses and slowly stand up . Blood oozed from his nose and mouth . Obviously, his organs were damaged after taking the indirect but intense blow . He stared at Anfey, shocked and scared . He was unable to hide his emotions .
Surviving personal soldiers looked at each other, but dared not to help . They could only choose to be quiet .
"Master Shamash . " The horse rider stumbled forward . He did not forget his duty . "Master Shamash! Are you guys dumb? Where is master Shamash?"
The personal soldiers could not help looking at the dead body without a head . The rider's response was quick . At first, he was shocked and had eyes open wide to check the clothes on the dead body . He suddenly turned around to look at Anfey . "You killed master Shamash?"
Top powers were usually not constrained by regular laws . The power among them had to be balanced by other even more powerful powers . Seeing their master being killed and his crew scared to speaking for him, he immediately suspected Anfey .
"So?" Anfey looked combative . He challenged the rider .
That rider was so mad that he suddenly puked up some blood . His body shook a little and then he fell on the ground with a huge thud . His wound had gotten worse, but other personal soldiers dared not to come over to help him . They stayed where they were without doing anything .

"Hurry up and go home . Playing on the street is dangerous . " Anfey turned to be gentle and also caressed the little boy's head .
"Uh…" The little boy looked at Anfey with bright eyes . He may not even have realized what had just happened .
Onlookers seemed to feel perplexed . Anfey had looked like a crazy killer a moment ago and killed the well-known Shamash and his personal soldiers in the blink of an eye . Now, however, he looked like a sweet brother to that little boy . No one would think Anfey faked it since he did save that little boy from the horse .
"Master, are you ok?" Urter ran over with excitement on his face . He had heard about what Anfey had done before . He wanted to believe there was a savior for the people who were suffering . This world seemed to need a hero after the war . Seeing Anfey's fighting ability, he would totally believe he was their hero .
"I am fine . " Anfey shook his head with a smile . He turned to look at the surviving personal soldiers . "All of you go to the police station . Suzanna!" Suzanna slowly walked up to him . Senior swordsmen were considered top powers in Violet City . When Suzanna practiced combat power to try to help Anfey, she already got people's attentions . However, when Anfey has showered fire balls, they had turned their attention to him . Now Suzanna walked out and everybody noticed there was a senior swordswoman . She was also a follower of Anfey . People could not be more surprised .
The junior swordsman who ran away at the beginning of the fight gasped . He thought he was so lucky to make the decision to run . He was too wise for that . Suzanna was a senior swordswoman .
"Are you going to the police station on your own or do you need someone to escort you?" Anfey asked casually .
"Master, we can go to the police station on our own . " The junior swordsman realized he should do something to make it up, so he stepped out and spoke .
Anfey looked at Urter . As a mayor, Urter definitely knew what he should do . He needed to judge the case, listing all the evidence to make sure there was no way for Shamash's family to reopen this case . Urter walked back to Iliverny and gave him some instructions quietly, and then Iliverny walked to those personal soldiers with a few officers . Since the leader of the personal soldiers had died, both parties were not combative anymore . They looked like they got along well and cooperated with each other . At least one party did . Personal soldiers put down their weapons and followed behind the officers .

"Master, your little unicorn came out . We could not control him," Urter suddenly said loudly .
"Huh?" Anfey was shocked . He turned around to check . The little unicorn was looking at the people around him .
Anfey could not help staring at Urter . The little unicorn had been forced to develop the habit that he would not come out until Susanna gave him permission . The unicorn would never come out on his own . The reason Suzanna let the unicorn out definitely had to do with Urter .
"Come here," Anfey waved at the little unicorn .
The unicorn's eyes brightened . He turned into a white light and the next second he stood beside Anfey . He looked very close to Anfey . He rubbed Anfey's lower leg . The unicorn was still small, but his speed was phenomenal . Shally used to play with the little unicorn, but now she did not even bother with him anymore . She could not catch him and lost interest in playing with him .
"My God, it is a unicorn," someone yelled in surprise .
"Couldn't be!" Some doubted how true it was .
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what your mayor said?" an onlooker responded .
"It has to be a unicorn! I did not even see him run over!" another onlooker said .
"Couldn't be!" Some doubted how true it was .
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what your mayor said?" an onlooker responded .
"It has to be a unicorn! I did not even see him run over!" another onlooker said .
"A Magic-Combat-Twin discipliner with a unicorn? I have only heard about it in the legends," another person commented .
The little unicorn did not know he was the center of attention . He tried hard to look up at Anfey with his light blue eyes . Magic beasts had quite simple emotions . If Anfey was calling him, he could only see Anfey's eyes .
Anfey sighed and bent down to pick up the little unicorn . Changes always came faster than plans . He was supposed to keep this trip secret . The little unicorn should be a secret too . However, both of these were now known to the public . Human intelligence was too limited . In most cases, a wise person could not control how things would happen . That was why there was the saying about "opportunity knocking" .
The crowd grew loud . Their indifference and coldness were from their disappointment . Shansa Empire had messed up their lives . Many people had died and disappeared . Yolanthe was very wise, and he provided them a comparatively decent life, but he could not protect them in dangerous situations . Now a hero was here . The power and kindness were obvious . In addition, he was going to be the owner of Violet City . What else could make them more excited . The hero in the legend could beat thousands or tens of thousands of magic beasts just by himself . The presence of a unicorn meant Anfey had the same power as the heroes in the legends . Heroes like Anfey should be able to protect them . No one knew the exact answer, but they all wanted to believe, in other words, they would like to force themselves to believe Anfey could protect them .
Anfey was a little confused and anxious . He used to hide in the dark in his past . He did not think anything good would come from being the center of the crowd . Anfey turned around and said to Urter, "Let's go buy the rings . "
"Yes, master . " Urter lowered his head . His eyes were smiling . He had planned everything right on the money and had gotten unexpectedly positive results . He was quite happy about it .
Anfey and Urter walked up to the magic store . The crowd immediately made a path for them . Suzanna followed behind Anfey . The legendary hero always had a powerful, beautiful and loyal female assistant . So did Anfey . It only confirmed their belief .
Anfey and Urter walked up the steps before they entered the magic store . A person suddenly stopped them at the entrance of the magic store . It was a chubby guy around forty years old . His eyes avoided looking at Anfey, and his trembling fingers also showed his timidity . However what he said sounded very harsh: "I am sorry, masters . Our store is closed today . "
