Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 445 Auction trap (22)

Once all of the attackers had been subdued, the driver came back to the carriage to check on me.

But before any of them could reach the carriage, there was a ball of fire that suddenly appeared.

Before any of them could do a thing, the ball of fire had landed on the carriage and blew it up.

There was only a second of silence before they all ran over to check on the carriage. But all they could see was a smouldering mess that had once been the carriage burning in the middle of the road.

The driver looked at Shaka and Shaka looked back at him before both of them rushed forward. With the way that they raised their hands, it was as if they were prepared to pull apart this burning mess to look for the person who had been inside.

But before they could, there was a voice that said, "There's no need for that, I already left the carriage."

As soon as they heard this voice, they immediately turned to see me standing there with Shadow Five by my side.

Both of them immediately came to my side and surrounded me, making sure that there wouldn't be any other spells cast before checking on me.

I waved my hand at the two of them before saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine. I got out before the fireball even came."

Both of them looked at me with strange and confused looks, as if they were asking me, "How did you get out?"

I could see that, so I said, "You should know that I'm sensitive to magic." Shaka gave a nod since this was more for him than the driver since I didn't know the driver that well. Then I continued by saying, "As soon as they started casting the spell, I already knew what was coming and I got out of the carriage before it could come."

But only I knew the truth…

I didn't get out of the carriage on my own since there was no time for that.

So I had no choice but to get Shadow Five to carry me out of the carriage before the fireball came.

However, I would never admit that even if I was beaten to death!

So I just said that I came out on my own.

Shaka and the driver both gave nods before turning back around to focus on the surrounding area.

They wanted to make sure that there was nothing else coming before they started moving.

After confirming that there was nothing, the driver waved his hand at the cloaked figures that were standing over the captured attackers.

Half of them came over while the other half picked up those attackers and headed off in a different direction.

Once they came over, he turned to me and said, "We need to get out of here. It seems that there are still more of them coming."

I gave a nod before saying, "Lead the way."

The driver turned back to look at the burning carriage before saying with a bitter voice, "It seems like they really aren't putting his highness in their eyes that they're even using these large spells in the city."

But then his eyes turned sharp as he said, "When we get them, I'll make sure that they're punished for looking down on his highness like this."

I could hear the loyalty in his voice and I respected that, but this wasn't the time.

So I gave a cough to remind him of the situation.

The driver came back to his senses and without a word, he headed off in a certain direction. He waved his hand behind him for us to follow him and we quickly went after him.

The cloaked figures formed a circle around me, as if they would protect me with their lives.

The way that I was traveling was just like some of the celebrities from Earth, being completely surrounded by bodyguards like this. However, I didn't have the time to enjoy this feeling since my life was in danger.

We went into one of the alleys to the side and quickly made our way to another street. But this street was just as abandoned as the one from before.

As we made our way through, there were more people that appeared.

This time, there were far more attackers than before.

However, that seemed a bit confusing.

If they had all of these people, why didn't they send them all earlier instead of sending that small group?

Or was it that they were just using that other group as bait to see what cards we were hiding?

Regardless, when this group appeared, the driver immediately gave orders to the cloaked figures and they took a battle formation around me.

They had covered me from every single angle, so that no one would be able to reach me.

But with how outnumbered we were…this did look a bit bad.

One of the attackers stepped forward to stand in front of the driver to say, "I never expected to see you here."

When the driver saw this person, he deeply knitted his brows.

But the look in his eyes showed that he recognized this person.

After a long pause, the driver suddenly asked, "You betrayed us?"

The person who had stepped out gave a shrug before saying, "It's not so much as betrayed you as never being on your side to begin with. From the very beginning, I was never on your side, so it can't really be considered betrayal, can it?"

The driver's brows relaxed a bit as he said with a sigh, "That's right, it really can't be considered that." Then his eyes turned sharp again as he said, "Which is why this can't be considered betrayal either."

As soon as he said this, many of the attackers that had surrounded us suddenly turned and stabbed their comrades.

More than half of them had suddenly attacked the people that they had been standing with.
