NTR: I became a noble?

"He is done with the mission. " Terias released a sigh of relief. The man on the hit list was dead and there was a guy who was escaping.

Since, the location was a medicine shop, picking up a few bottles meant the other person was hurt and needed some of the potions for their recovery.

Terias decided to step in and stop the commotion. He was a noble and the ruling Viscount of the province. He was well known and people knew his strength of level three ki warrior.

He entered the small crowd, ready to interrogate some of them to waste enough time for John to escape, or atleast heal himself.

"What happened? What is the reason for the commotion in this place? " Terias deliberately asked a guard who was barely able to walk from the injuries on his body, but was going upwards.

"My Lord, we were doing our duty just like every other day.

Suddenly, there was an cowardly intruder who used poision and ambushed us and knocked us all down.

The man looked young but was very strong, even four of us peak level one warriors could not hit him.

He waited for us stand back up and attack him before he further injured us.

That guy did not look sane and had a crazy look in his eyes, he went to the top floor and had been there since ten minutes. "

The guard explained this as he recalled how things had proceeded.

He did not wish to waste time into explaining stuff to someone, he was about to ignore the man and tell him to wait while he quickly checked out the room upstairs.

He was scared of being beaten again, but it was his duty to perform.

But the moment he glanced back to dismiss the speaker, he was met with the stern face of a noble, who was currently ruling this place.

The guard then decided to postpone his search upstairs and entertain the Viscount first.

He left out some details but all the necessary information was included for Terias to analyse and understand.

"Did he say something? About his motive to attack you guys? Where is your superior? " Terias asked the guard

"He was indeed muttering something, but i could not hear it clearly. " The guard sheepishly answered to Terias, not only did he, as a guard fail to protect this establishment but he also got beaten up by a strange man.

"But i think that guy is still up there, in the room. " The guard added in order to shake off his responsibility and change the topic from his incompetence.

"As for the superior, he is on a break and would be coming in an hour. " He tried to show his superior to be an irresponsible man.

"I have already checked the place out. There is no one inside the room up there. At least not a living person. " Terias outright declined the possibility of anyone living in the room.

Terias explained to the guard, and told him of his findings from his sense skill. He did not tell anything about a guy escaping from the place.

He had stalled for enough time for the John to escape. Terias could now leave the place and wait for his butler to come back at his mansion.

As for the damage and death that had taken place in the shop, he had no consideration towards them. He was already on his way back to the mansion.

There was an Earl out for his life, he could not waste his time out in public. He quickly rushed back to the mansion expecting a injured John ready to report.

"One thing that i do not understand is why did John made a commotion? What was the need for it? As far as I know the shop owner was barely able to use ki and was not that big of a fighter either. "

Terias could not understand the need for a big commotion when John\'s actual goal was to assassinate his target.

Neither was the shop owner a experienced fighter nor did he have a famed artifact for defense. There did not exist any reason to attract people in that task.

He could not come up with an answer and was looking forward to John\'s report on this task he had accomplished today.

He reached the mansion and then his room.

John was ready to report, he was waiting patiently for Terias to arrive. His hands had some bandages and so did his neck.

\'It seems the hit was not as simple as it seems. What could have happened make a peak level two warrior this hurt? \'

Terias contemplated as he looked at his butler up and down, searching for more visible injuries on him.

"Ahem, You look not so good, are you able to stand?" Terias asked his butler in consideration.

From what Terias had experienced, John was very strict with himself. He was perfect like a machine. His etiquette was on top.

Terias had seen the guy take some bottles from the shop which he believed to be healing potions. He was ready to give John a break for his healing if there was a need.

"I am perfectly fine, my Lord. It is some surface level injury which I don\'t want to be infected. They would be completely healed by tomorrow once I recover my ki. "

The butler assured Terias that he was fine, he was not hurt or the part where he was injured did not affect his performance much.

Just like how he had joined and healed his dissected tongue, he could heal his skin and flesh injuries in the same way.

"It\'s good to see you doing fine. I am looking forward to hear what you have to report this time. "

Terias asked his butler John with a polite smile. He liked that guy\'s discipline and his will to do his work.

"Just like the last time, I had planned two tasks for today. The first was a great success, nobody got to know a thing and i safely escaped. "

John paused for a second before he collected his breathe and started about the second part.

"The second task also began with relative ease. I had reached the place silently and quickly one shot the target. But just when I started to escape I was ambushed, probably with the poison.

The guy who did this was a young guy, he beat me and beat me again until I was bleeding all over. "

\'The line seems to be the same?? \' Terias thought recalling what he had heard from the guard.
