Chapter 194: 194
"Do you think Helen is okay?" I questioned as Helen and the others went to gather the other bodies .
"I'm alright," Helen said arriving back unscathed .
"So what we gonna do with them?" Daisy said dragging two tied up unconscious bodies leaving them next to the two conscious surrendered ones .
"What are you gonna do with us? . . " One bandit asked his voice and body shaky as we silently gather him and his friends .
"Well for one we're gonna be reporting you to Atlantis . " Jennifer threatened him making his look at us in utter shock,
"No no please you can't . " He cried almost pleading for his life, "We'll do anything . . what do you want?!" He asked in an absolute panic .
A part of my felt extremely sorry for him despite being a bandit and trying to kidnap two girls for abit of gold . . .
"What do we do with them now?" I asked everyone telepathically .
"First let's find out who ordered the hit," Jay replied back telepathically and walked up to them .
"Right so let's get this straight, you guys are the order of the white ravens right?" Jay asked, snapping the crossbow bolt in half leaving the tip still impaled in his shoulder .
Both the bandits refused to say a word staring down into the ground, "they should have tattoo's on the neck of a raven's talons . " Jennifer notified us pulling down one of their collars revealing a circle with a distinct raven talon in the centre .
"Okay well that answer's it . " Jay replied, "So tell me who set the hit? was it the robed figure?" Jay asked, his questions falling onto deaf ears as they both still remained silent unwilling to answer his questions .
"Any idea?" Jay asked us telepathically .
"I'm certain the town guard won't be much help either," Jeniffer replied .
Taking a deep breath I walked towards them, "See these bands?" I said showing them my Atlantis wrist band making them all suddenly look up in horror and fear, "This means you guys were stupid enough to try and attack Atlantis students . " I explained to them like I knew what the repercussions of such an offensive were . "So if you tell us what we want to know, we'll let you off lightly . " I said to them trying to sound serious .
"We don't know ourselves! Our boss said we had a job to take two girls . " They shakily answered .
"Which two girls?!" I questioned .
"You and the blue-skinned one . " One of them answered me .
"Why were we targeted?" I asked .
"We don't know . " He answered .
"Think of a reason!" Grace said aiming an arrow at him .
"We don't know! All we know is he was willing to pay a high price!" He answered .
"So it was a he?" I replied .
"Yes when he spoke to us he had a male voice . " The man answered .
"I think it was the perfume seller . " Daisy said to us telepathically .
"What makes you think that?" I asked back a little shocked at her answer .
"The way he incinerated the vines it's something either clerics or my people can do, it's called Hellish reprisal, its something we've inherited from our Devilish heritage allowing us to release Hellfire when we're attacked," Dasiy answered .
"What perfume seller?" Jay questioned .
"He was a travelling merchant who sold us perfumes, he asked a few questions on Daisy's and my own skin colour," I answered Jay .
"Do you think that is how they also managed to locate us in the inn?" Daisy asked .
"Yeah maybe they followed the perfume smells . " I answered .
"How much was he willing to offer?" Jennifer asked the two bandits .
"It was a large sum maybe a few hundred gold pieces each . " He tried to recount .
"Woah, for an Atlantis student that's pretty low but for an ordinary person that is very high and considering they didn't even know you both were Atlantis students," Jennifer replied informing us .
"Hmm did he mention any plans he had with us once we were captured?" Daisy questioned the two bandits .
"No . . . He didn't mention anything of the sort . " they answered back .
"Where were you all heading to in the caravan?" Jay asked .
"We don't know, only Nicolas and the robed man knew, we were here to guard the whole process, that's all I swear!" They answered .
"Great so the only two people who knew the bigger plan escaped . " Jay replied in our heads .
