Chapter 1288 - Their Truths

Number 5 stood before a council of 3 while maintaining a humble yet calm demeanour.

The council included three women from the ages of 34~37.

They were gorgeous, well-maintained, and all so breathtaking.

The women squinted their eyes coldly and scanned Number 5 with their eyes from head to toe.

The auras they released were all too terrifying and could undoubtedly make most men in this world cower in fear.

The leading lady in red tapped her fingers on her armrest, staring at Number 5 deeply.

"Speak! Why have you returned alone?"

Instantly, number 5 dropped on one knee with one hand on the ground, and her head lowered: "Forgive me, elders. It was all due to my negligence. We underestimated the traitor\'s daughter."

Boom!

The elders all punched their armrests in rage.

A little traitor\'s daughter dares to go against them?

Good. Good. Good. Good.

"Number 5, speak! What exactly happened down there?"

.

Number 5 clenched her fists while recalling all they went through.

Dammit! She would never let that treacherous traitor get away with this!

"Elders, it\'s like this....~~."

Like so, Number 5 began retelling all she and her sisters did from the moment they set foot in Baymard. From the decisions she, as their leader made, to other key actions they carried out, she was swift to relay all information without hiding a single thing.

Of course, after she escaped, she first met up with the scouts that went to Riverdale.

Yes! These scouts arrived a week or 2 before they arrived in Baymard and had given them Lucy\'s everyday routines and whatnot.

So after information was exchanged, the scouts first left and headed towards Riverdale city to wait for their results.

In short, everything had been elaborately planned by herself, her team and the scouts, all waiting for Lucy\'s capture or news of her death if they couldn\'t bring her out.

But in the end, the Scouts met with a very severely injured Number 5.

The situation was dangerous.

So Number 5 first told the Scouts all she and her sisters went through before sending them off to head straight for Tenola with it.

And funny enough, part of their journey would be done with the Baymardians ships instead.

That\'s right.

The scouts did a U-turn back to Baymard, heading to the Coastal ports instead.

And after booking their tickets, they hopped aboard a ship that would take them to Deiferus.

Why? Because from Deiferus to Tenola by ship was shorter and would save them months and months of travel. Not to mention that the Baymardian ships would get them to Tenola in a matter of days. So how could they not want to use this option?

.

In Pyno, their Witch Organization only had a handful of Taverns in Arcadina, Yodan and Deiferus.

So for sure, they had their own private ships too. The only issue might be running into those blasted pirates on the way.

But since they had paid their Mog passage fees, then they should be good to go, no matter how many pirates stop them on the way. Of course, it was also best that they carried a little more money to bribe these pirates in case a few wanted to make things difficult for them.

Dammit! This was why they hated men!

The bastard species were just so disgusting and always loved taking advantage of every given situation.

It\'s also because of the pirates that Number 5 didn\'t write in detail all that transpired but chose to tell her sister scouts about it instead.

As trained assassins, their brains were also trained too.

And they could recall everything they heard at secret meetings or other places. So they could recall all of Number 5\'s words, even if they had to retell it months later.

Again, they also chose not to write things down because, at that moment, they knew that the Baymardians might be looking for Number 5. So what if this intimidating letter was confiscated?

Then all their efforts would\'ve been wasted for nothing.

And that\'s why Assassins never write things down unless there was no other way.

.

Like so, the scouts headed for Tenola, and she, on the other hand, headed for this coastal city that had one of their Taverns there.

Unlike the scouts, her only way to flee Baymard was via land. Going to the port was asking to be arrested... Though, escaping Baymard via land was also tasking and very strenuous too.

The hell that those Baymardian knights had put her through was something she never wanted to encounter again.

Dammit!

It was only by a stroke of luck that they finally fled all Baymard territories and entered Arcadina\'s safe haven.

Following that, she boarded a passing wagon that was coincidentally heading towards the coastal city she was going to.

F***!

One day, she would make those damn Baymardians and that treacherous Traitor pay for what they did to her and her fallen or captured sisters!

.

Everyone\'s face turned grim after listening to Number 5 retell all she had been through.

The lady in red squinted her eyes dangerously: "Are you saying that the real mastermind for their success has been the traitor\'s daughter?"

"Yes, elder Rosa. But just like her wicked mother who singlehandedly brought terror into our Organization years back, she\'s also a dangerous one as well."

"Indeed." Rosa said thoughtfully: "If she can fight 3 or more of you head-on while holding a baby, then it shows how much she inherited from her mother. As expected. A wolf can only give birth to a wolf!"

"Yes!" Another elder chimed in. "Rumours say that she is as gentle as a flower, seemingly weak too. But now we know that this might be her persona, to hide her strength from her enemies. You said she was born with the gift of extraordinary strength, which means that she clearly contains the blood of our witch society."

"Agreed. Number 5, if I\'m not mistaken, there was someone in your team that could levitate objects, right?"

"Yes, elder."

"Hmmm... All these are gifts exclusive to only those in our organization.

So for sure, she\'s the traitor\'s daughter. And it\'s not surprising that you lost this time. We have underestimated her greatly. And that was our first mistake. And if she\'s the master behind Baymard\'s greatness, then we must take her back to Tenola at all costs!" The lady in red stated.

Even if she was a traitor, Lucy belonged to them in the first place. So why should such a desolate and undeserving place like Baymard enjoy the benefits that should be theirs?

Impossible!

They would bring her back home!
