Episode-4:

In front of me is sitting a white hair beauty. I tied her hands and legs together with a robe so because of that at first glance she will give you the impression of a rabbit that is tied in a trap. I hope I tied her tightly, if not then it would be difficult for me, even though by pure strong I am above her but I have no real life and death battle experience, so there is no telling if I will win against her or not. It was fortunate that I could catch her off guard when I have used bind technique.

Let me re-introduced her appearance who was a loli few moments ago. She is a beautiful young woman of average height with a beautiful face, white skin, violets eyes, and slender arms. She has long white hair that reached down to her waist. She also wears a hair clip in her hair. She has an extremely sexy figure, especially her remarkably large bust size and slim waist.

By the way, if it is talked about her breasts I was enchanted by those big pairs of melon. When I tied, her I secretly press them, it felt damn good, and for somehow I truly felt like myself a lecherous bandit.

She would be one of the most beautiful women if she didn’t gaze me with those eyes. Those eyes possess killing intent toward me that even amateur like me can feel into his skin. Sorry I am not masochist enough to remark her cold gaze made her more beautiful but I said with my mouth anyway,

“Hey, you are really beautiful, especially those eyes making me so excited that I think I can hit on you.”

Hearing me, her eyes got colder than before, but wait girl let me finish,

“But my mother used to told me, listen son, women are the creatures who meant to be attracting. You might be attracted by or even fallen in love with a beautiful woman, but my son, don’t judge a woman because of her outer appearance. A woman can create a happy family, but again a single woman can destroy a lifelong happy family. So if your target turns out to be a wicked woman, you must not choose her because she might backstab you some day, you rather chose someone plain who will make you happy for rest of your life. So, for now, you are no, no, I can give you chance if in future you are lovey-dovey with me.”

Hearing that, girl’s cheek couldn’t be helped but visibly twitch, she said,

“Some bastard like you actually can reminiscent his mother, are you kidding me?”

I can’t help but surprised. She is rude, I was sitting in a safe position from her before, but now I stand up and walk in front of her, and sit with banding my knees (crouching down).

*Slap*

Yup, I gave her a slap. This woman just bad mouthing me include my parents from the beginning. Well if it is only me I could ignore, but she is actually including my parents, the persons I respect most, of course, it's not like I can act like nothing.

Because of my slap, her face was sullen and red mark of my hand has visibly shown. When she came back from daze, she screamed,

“You son of a bi…”

*Slap*

This time I slapped on her opposite cheek from last time. Then I straight her face with my hand and make her look at me, in her both cheeks there are red marks of handprints, it’s really hurt me to do violence on a woman, really I am honest, but sometimes I have to correct what is correct regardless man and woman, sorry if you hate my personality there is nothing I can do, moreover I am a bandit now so I have an unwritten license. I told her while making a deep voice,

“This is last warning if next time you bad mouth my parents, I will slap you until you cry for forgiveness.”

Hearing me this woman’s eyes become somewhat complicated. Oh, well, it doesn’t matter to me what was she thinking. I have to ask her something first. I again go and sit in the position where I was sitting before, and ask her,

“What’s your name?”

Hearing me this girl again return to reality and came back to her former cold demeanor and replied,

“It doesn’t matter what my name is, or should I say low life like you have no right to know my name. Just know my title, I have known as ‘White Cross’.”

Even though I slapped her, she speaks to me while looking down. And White Cross, why I feel like this name is pretty religious. Oh well, regardless I exclaimed,

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

“So you are that White Cross. No wonder you dare to invade here to kill me.”

Sorry, I have no idea who the hack White Cross is, but I acted like I heard her name because she acted like her name was well-known. I wonder even real Hasan Ali give a damn about her name.

“Hmph, even if I failed here more will come. A sinner like you must die by the name of God.”

Damn! Why do I feel like I am really familiar with a person like her? Well, I ignore that and said,

“Yes, yes, I understand. By the way, did you come here by the order of Blue Saintess?”

Hearing me she frowned and replied,

“Blue Saintess of Redsun Nation, there is no way we will colliding with her let alone follow her order, especially not to kill the 4th class like you, if you were 7th or 8th class there is a possibility.”

They might be from different religious or something. Well, whatever if she didn’t invade here by the order of Blue Saintess then it is safe call, I saw it from Hasan Ali’s memory, the terrifying strength that blue saintess possesses she has widely surpassed prime Hasan Ali. If she noticed that one of the subordinates of her has failed there is a possibility she would come for me again by herself, but it is fortunate that this woman is from other faction after all real Hasan Ali died because of her, so I will also die if I meet her soon. But well, still it is not safe, and I drop a fluke according to Hasan Ali’s memory,

“So, you came here by the order of ‘White Saintess’?”

“You know your enemy quite well. Of course, I came here by the order of her holiness. And the order was killed you by any means. But well seems like I am almost failed but don’t worry you can’t sleep well if I die here.”

Seems like information like that not so secret that she will not dare to enclose to me, in fact, it might be put me under pressure.

But this is bad, that Hasan Ali was a really dangerous man. White Saintess is the strongest person in the Holy Land country; her strength is same as Hasan Ali’s father who is the strongest of the Redsun Nation. Become her target by no means is a good thing.

I look at White Cross, I cannot let her leave, and neither I can kill her, both choices will bring me huge trouble. And there is no way I can kill someone with cool head, I kill that guard under White Cross manipulation, so it won’t count, in fact I don’t feel even any regret or self-loath, I am not the killer, and that guard wasn’t someone innocent, the deeds he had done in his entire life it's justified for his death.

Well, whatever I have to counter the current problem.

…

(POV changed.)

I was from a lower class noble family of Pelican country. Our family was small which consists mother, father, brother, grandmother and me.

We were a happy family with whatever we have. My mother was a lovely housewife, my father was an honest person, my brother was talented and good to me, and I love my grandmother most who always nice to me.

But it all ends when my age was around 6. Our family was eyed by a bandit gang because of a treasure. For that reason, my father, brother, and grandmother was killed, and my mother was raped in front of my eyes. I and my mother were stabbed by a sword after that.

I was close to death, but I was saved by a soldier of the city. After a month or two I regain my consciousness.

After few days gone I understood what was the meaning of all that happened to me. Father, brother, and grandmother left me forever. Only I had all was my mother, but she was like a ragged doll, she got too much stress that she lost her sense of ordinary human.

That was when, to save and protect the only family I started to learn healing magic, which is related to water magic because my main class was water attribute. In fact, water magic was most compatible with healing.

I had started to take care of my mother even though I was 6 years old. When I turned 8 my mother passed away because of a sudden illness.

That was another turning point in my life. Everything happened to me because of those unspeakable evil bandits. I cried with sadness, anger, resentment. Everything got colorless for me. I was alone in this cruel world. And then I met her, she came in front of me after seeing that I was crying.

She asked me why I was crying. I told her my situation. Hearing me she didn’t sympathize to me instead she said to me she was from Holy Land and asked me if I want to avenge my family, if so then she asked me to follow her to the Holy Land. Naturally, my heart was full of nothing but hatred toward those bandits, so I took her offer and went with her or I should say with White Saintess to the Holy Land.

I was a healer before, and then I become a killer. Right now I am 23, last 15 years I kill evil more than good people I have seen, and most of them were bandits.

I use to heal people in Holy Land that’s how I gain the title of White Healer, but I killed evil with my poison that’s how I gain the title of White Cross. Even though I was more well-known as White Healer, I take my pride in my White Cross title.

I have an only regret that the bandit destroyed my family, had died before I could take my revenge.

A month before by chance I detect men of Ali Black Gang, with the intention of killing I followed them. And then I heard their conversation, that they need a healer to healing their leader. That was the when I made a decision to kill one of the infamous bandit Hasan Ali and made a plot to enter here, it was too easy things to do as I had done with other bandits, I have an exceptional skill which called manipulation. I can manipulate human thought, magic sense and there five senses. But the condition is the person I will use on has to be up to the same level of my class that means I cannot use it above 4th class expert and makes him confused which is easy to cast that skill. Funny thing is beside only two people no one knows about my innate skill.

I become kid by using my water magic appearance changer. I manipulate those bandits who were looking for a healer to let them believe that I was a little kid who knows good tier healing magic. I let them kidnapped me who I can kill with just a few moves.

After coming here I check the condition of their leader, he was really in the bad condition. I cannot kill him directly the reason is the right-hand man of the leader is the pinnacle of the late 4th class who could break through to 5th class anytime, so controlling him with my innate skill will be hard. So If I kill the leader. I cannot escape easily neither I was matched for that right-hand man. That’s why I wanted to kill that leader slowly with poison; he will die in a month for sure.

But instead, he was alive and good except his outer body has not healed. I wonder there was a problem in my poison, and sadly I had failed my first attempt. But I didn’t give up because surprisingly that guy was only at 4th class who is weaker than me. First I use manipulate skill on the leader that he must protect me then make a guard to kick me, then I make him killed the guard.

After that, I had planned to kill the other guard for no reason and make the right-hand man to believe that their leader got mad somehow after seeing me and make both of them to do a death battle because more confuse the human more easy to use my skill on them. After one of them die, I will kill other one taking the chance of his weakness after death battle.

But I failed again, after killing the first guard I couldn’t manipulate him for some reason. I still have no idea why.

That guy for some reason made others to left this room and told me that I could stop my drama. I was utterly surprised. He actually recognized my innate skill that only two people knew. It is not possible, I wait for his next word, but he didn’t speak anything again like he was sure that I was manipulating him.

And when I open my eyes I saw a tall man was standing in front of me who is wearing a mask.

After that he was speaking bullshit but taking that chance I attack him, I was stronger than him so I was confident enough to kill him after catching him off guard.

Yet again I had failed.

I was caught under one of the codex magic. Even though his class was lower than me surprisingly he was stronger than me that I couldn’t do anything much to resist.
