"My god how did this clueless bitch even manage to pull one over on Duke Shag's brother?" The grumpy man asked.
"Because Breral Shag was a fat ugly useless piece of trash himself." The woman replied.
"You should watch your words." The leader warned.
"Why am I wrong?" The woman retorted.
"Whether you are wrong or not is besides the point, Duke Shag cared deeply for his younger brother and should he learn that you are speaking of him in such a way you will most likely end up dead." The leader cautioned.
"Yeah yeah." The woman replied with a pout.
"Still I was also expecting this woman to be a thief or an assassin or something, however it would seem she is just some common whore who thought she could make a few bucks sucking Breral's dick." The leader stated.
"Poor fucking bitch." The woman said.
"So can we capture her already and dispose of the other one so that we can leave this shit whole of a city?" The grumpy man asked.
"Go ahead." The leader said losing interest.
They were about to move when a new voice sounded behind them, surprising them all.
"So that's it, I was wondering why you were following those two and they hadn't killed you yet."
The group of three that was previously following Third and Ninth spun around at the sound while pulling out their weapons as they cautiously eyed up the strange young man they had failed to detect.
"Who are you and what is your business with them?" The leader asked.
"Also how the hell did you get behind us?" Grumpy asked.
"Hmm he's not bad looking, I don't mind if he wants to get behind me." The woman said as she winked at Tommy playfully.
((Bitch compared to the woman we have chasing us your nothing.))
"I suppose you could call me their associate." Tommy replied calmly. "As for how I got behind you, well that wasn't hard, you were making so much noise you were easy to follow and I expect those two have already noticed that you're no longer following them."
"So you're working together?" The leader asked with a dark look.
"You make it sound like they knew we were here all along." Grumpy retorted angrily.
"Hey, why didn't you respond to my comment handsomely?" The woman pouted.
"Geez do you three all have to ask questions at the same time?" Tommy groaned in response before answering. "First off no we are not working together I just made a slight trade with the one you plan to capture. Second, they probably did know you were following them since you're so crap at trailing people without being noticed and they just pretended not to know to see what you would do. Third, I didn't answer your stupid comment because it was stupid."
"What did you trade?" The leader asked carefully.
"Who are you calling crap at tailing people brat?" Grumpy asked.
"What, you don't want a bit of this sexy lady handsome boy?" The Woman winked while showing off some of her cleavage.
"Fuck are you seriously all going to keep doing this, fine." Tommy sighed in annoyance. "First off what we traded is not your fucking Business, second yes I'm calling you crap, I mean you didn't even notice me following you which means I could have killed you anytime I want, and third why would I want a dirty skank like you when I have literal beauties who want me in bed?"

"Was it a dagger?" The leader asked.
"Bastard you wouldn't stand a chance against me." Grump retorted.
The woman flushed red with anger before she screamed, "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING A SKANK, I WILL GUT YOU WHERE YOU STAND." After which she charged at Tommy while aiming her dagger at his throat.
Tommy completely calmly tilted his head to the side so the dagger stab missed before he punched the woman in the guy making her grunt in pain and she started to collapse onto her knees.
When her head reached knee level Tommy calmly brought his knee up smashing it into her face and making the woman wail in pain as several teeth flew out and she fell backwards onto the floor and smacked her head making her dizzy.
Then under the shocked stairs of the two men Tommy lowered his still raised foot down on the woman's throat killing her instantly before he calmly looked at the two men and asked, "You where say?"
The two men looked at the now dead woman and gulped nervously before shooting a quick look at each other and darting away in opposite directions.
((Well at least there smart enough to run.))
(Won't save them though.)
Tommy withdrew a small throwing knife from his item box into each hand before throwing one at each man's legs.
The throwing knives hit their targets and made the men groan in pain as they stumbled forward and fell to the ground.
"Well now this has been an interesting diversion and all but I have a meeting with those two beauties and a true gentleman does not keep a lady waiting." Tommy said as he first approached the grump man who started to beg for his life.
"No please spare me, I didn't do anything to you I can give you…."
However before he could finish Tommy threw a third throwing knife into the grump man's throat and calmly watched as he died with eyes questioning how this had happened.
After grumpy died Tommy retrieved both throwing knives and cleaned them on gumpy's clothes before he started to approach the leader who kept trying to stand and hobble away but soon failed and collapsed again.
When the leader noticed Tommy approaching he tried to crawl away as quickly as possible while saying, "Please you can't kill me, if you do Duke Shag will know something happened."
"Well from what you said earlier he already suspects that girl, so what difference does it make if I kill you?" Tommy asked.
The man couldn't think of a reply so Tommy simply stabbed him in the neck like Grumpy and watched him die while saying, "Exactly."
Once all three were dead Tommy retrieved the remaining throwing knives before continuing to follow Third and Ninth as they seemed to be heading for the Forest Rest.

"They stopped following." Ninth said in surprise.
"So it would seem." Third frowned, "I wonder what happened or what they're planning."
"Should we go investigate?" Ninth asked?
"No, meeting Tommy Smith is more important." Third replied.
"I'm guessing since you're coming to see me your meeting went well." A voice suddenly said from behind them making them both jump and enter a combat stance as they quickly turned around.
"Not bad." Tommy replied with a smirk. "You're at least better than those three clowns who were following you."
"You took care of them?" Third asked in surprise.
"Yup." Tommy confirmed. "While it was not any of my business I did not want them reporting back to their boss about me or the Forest Rest. From now on don't approach the Forest Rest unless you know you're not being followed, I don't want the owner and her daughters getting hurt, understand?"
Third and Ninth nodded when they heard and saw the looks of warning Tommy gave them.
It took Third a moment to calm down before she asked. "Who were they then?"
"Just a group of low level nobodies Duke Shag sent to capture Liza, or should I call you Ninth now?" Tommy replied as he looked at Ninth who nodded proudly.
"Congratulations." Tommy remarked.
"Thanks." Ninth replied with a slut blush, something that surprised her as she didn't normally get embarrassed, especially not around men.
"So it was Duke Shag, most likely investigating the dagger's disappearance and his brother's death." Third replied as she gave a small smirk at Ninth's reaction.
"He will need to be eliminated in the future if you want any peace, people like him in power wont take this insult lying down." Tommy advised.
"Have you met Duke Shag?" Ninth asked.
"No, but I can guess what type of man he is from what I have heard and I have met similar men in the past." Tommy replied.
"You're right." Third confirmed. "Duke Shag does not like to be insulted and always looks to find a way to get revenge on people who do insult him. Add on the fact that his brother is dead and that he is probably desperate to find the emperor's dagger before the emperor finds out, these won't be the last people he sends to this city if he is not disposed of."
"Well that's something to think about in a few days time, with how long messages take to travel we have a few days before he gets suspicious from not hearing anything from those three." Tommy replied nonchalantly.
"More importantly, it seems you wanted to discuss something with me, might I assume it's about joining your organization?" Tommy asked.
