Chapter 85: Stumbling Upon A Secret

Kayn and Gilbert eventually reached the end of the sewer after tens of minutes of walking in a foul-smelling and dark path.

In front of them, a sewer gate that prevents huge objects that can cause a clog in the sewer system from entering the sewer blocks their path.

Gilbert didn't mind it though as he approaches the sewer gate and casually pulls one of its iron bars.

The iron bar easily got pulled out, and Gilbert walked through the hole.

"Quickly come here before the soldiers patrolling this area sees us," Gilbert gestures his hand at Kayn.

Kayn didn't waste any time as he quickly followed after Gilbert.

As soon as Kayn and Gilbert were out of the sewer, the latter immediately installed the iron back to its original position and the duo sneakily went to the forest a few meters away in front of them to use its dense greeneries as a cover as they make their way back to the Split Mountain.

"Are you really certain that we'll be able to find Chief Kylo at the Split Mountain?" Gilbert felt doubtful at Kayn's claim. The latter said that Chief Kylo, the Chief of the Tenderfoot Village, would certainly be at the back line of his army. And if his guess is correct, some members of the Assembly of Freedom would most likely be there as well with Chief Kylo.

"The Chief of a Village would always be present during a war. So, I am certain he came along with his army. If he isn't in the back line, then he'll definitely be somewhere else nearby,"

"Once we find him, what do we do next?"

"Get in their army,"

"You want me to do that? I am basically wanted in their Village. So, everyone would be able to recognize me,"

"That's why a helmet exists,"

"Say we were able to sneak our way into their army by disguising ourselves as one of them, what do you plan to do afterward?"

"Confirm our assumption, since that's our main goal,"

"Then what?"

"Report to Old Chief George, then let him do what he intends to do with that information,"

"Good to know that you are well prepared and know exactly what to do," Gilbert smiled at Kayn. He was simply testing the latter's level of preparedness.

If Kayn isn't prepared for the plan that he wanted to execute, then he will prevent him from executing it until he thinks of a better plan.

He can't stop Kayn from doing whatever he wants, but he will make him reconsider his plan so that he would not get himself into a dangerous situation that he can't help.

"Come on, I know just the path for us to reach the back line of their army without anyone noticing our presence," Gilbert leads Kayn to another secret path that only a few people know about.

....

It took several hours for Kayn and Gilbert to reach the back line of the army of the Tenderfoot Village.

"That was seriously so far!" Kayn can't help exclaiming.

"I didn't say it was a shortcut," Gilbert muttered.

After taking a few breathers, Kayn looked at the army in front of them.

That's right, they are literally at the back of the back line right now. No one would be able to notice they are here, nor would they get spotted as this is the path that the army had taken to get to their location right now. So, they will never assume that a scout is hiding behind them.

Simply put, they are in a very safe place.

Kayn finally understood that even though Gilbert has consented to him to do what he plans on doing, that's only under the condition that he is safe.

"Let's find a target,"

Although this place is considered safe, clearly there are still some people sent to guard this place.

"Over there," Kayn pointed to a man walking not so far away from them.

"We need to find another one," Gilbert suggested.

"Once you disguise yourself, you can easily pick off another target, right?"

"Fair enough,"

With that being said, Kayn and Gilbert quickly eliminated their target.

Against a master assassin and someone who was once an assassin, the unfortunate man didn't stand even the slightest chance of survival.

Gilbert quickly took the clothes of the man and switched his. After they were done with that, Kayn helped him hide the body under the dense cover of greeneries nearby.

Afterward, Gilbert immediately bolted out from there to look for another target.

Meanwhile, Kayn started observing the camp not far away from him.

It was just like what he expected. The Chief and anyone else that has the capability to win the war has come along with the army from the Tenderfoot Village.historical

Looking closely, he soon spotted someone who he can easily guess is Chief Kylo.

Following behind Chief Kylo is a group of people that don't seem to belong to the Tenderfoot Village. As to how he can guess that, it's because they don't show the slightest respect to someone who is supposed to be the Chief of the Village.

"I was right," Kayn muttered.

"Since you've basically confirmed already what you came here for, do you plan to leave now?" Natas can't help but ask.

"That wasn't the only reason I came here," Kayn shook his head. "I came here to find out if these group who calls themselves the Assembly of Freedom aren't related to Circus,"

"Circus?" Natas felt slightly surprised.

The Circus. It is the name of the most infamous organization on both the Earth and inside the 'Tower' that's under the leadership of the number one Villain and numerous other Villains at the top of the ranking. Not only in the future, but also at the present time.

They are not part of the ten World Leaders because of the fact that their main goal doesn't coincide with any of the parties, including those that really care about saving Earth from the 'Tower' and those that secretly work for the 'Tower', and they only have major influence inside the 'Tower'.

Unlike the Fake Heroes, greedy Guilds, and Villains that he had communicated with in the second life. This organization only believes in one thing — to become the ruler of Earth and the 'Tower'.

It was exactly because of that reason that the Gods weren't able to persuade any of their members to help take down Kayn since their condition for cooperating was for the Gods to become their slaves.

From that alone, one could already guess just how much he also hates that organization.

"I wonder why are you assuming that they are part of that organization?"

"I don't know how to explain it. But all I can say is, I feel like they are related,"

"It's probably because you've been fighting with them from the moment you officially became a Hero," Such a feeling is the same as how a person would be able to tell if something or someone is going to bring harm to them as they've been into numerous dangerous and life-threatening situations in the past.

"Let's say that you find out that the Assembly of Freedom is related to Circus. What are you going to do next?"

"I am going to end this war myself using all means necessary, whether they are within the norm or out of the line,"

"Are you insane?! You know that you can't handle them, right?"

"Who says that I'll be the one to personally eliminate them," Kayn suddenly turns to look at the approaching Gilbert. He had felt the latter's arrival because of his superior senses.

Gilbert has returned with a set of armor.

"Here,"

"That was a lot quicker than I expected,"

"I am a master assassin,"

"In 'The Bridge'. Always remember that,"

"What do you mean?"

"Let's go!"

Kayn finished equipping the armor.

Since they are already done disguising themselves, Kayn and Gilbert no longer hesitated to approach the camp.

"Let's split to find Chief Kylo," Kayn suggested, albeit he already knew where to find him.

"Understood,"

"I'll go to the west, while you go east. Let's meet up north," Kayn ripped a red cloth and tied it to his shoulder while making sure that Gilbert would be able to easily notice it, "So that you'll be able to find me quickly,"

"Good idea," Gilbert also did the same as Kayn.

After both finished marking themselves so that they'll be able to quickly identify one another, they immediately separated ways.

Contrary to Gilbert though who would have to search everywhere to search for Chief Kylo, Kayn simply went straight to the tent where he spotted Chief Kylo entering.

As soon as Kayn arrived near that tent, he looked for a good place to stand by.

"I'll wait here," Kayn informs Natas.

"Okay," Natas went inside the tent, evidently planning to listen to the conversation between Chief Kylo and the other people inside.

Just right after passing through the cloth of the tent, Natas was perfectly on time to hear the people inside confirming what organization they exactly belong to.

"For the Circus!"
