Chapter 884: 884
After the secret passage was opened up and the torch shined light into it, a flight of stairs was revealed .
The hunchback, one-eyed old man stepped aside and didn't even bat an eye at Kieran and Starbeck anymore, as if he fell asleep .
However, in Kieran's eyes, the old man had tightened his muscles, ready to strike .
Kieran was clear if they really stepped into the passage down the stairs, they would be welcomed by furious attacks from the old man and the vicious traps underneath the passageway .
Inside "Distributions of underground factions of Naveya City", Kieran had precisely read lots about the organization before his eyes now: Oak Hand .
Perhaps they might not be the strongest among the gangs in Naveya City but they were definitely one of the most, if not the most, cautious .
That was why they were able to develop over the past 20 years quietly under the deeply rooted temple factions .
Compared to a real faction of traditional roots, the years that Oak Hand had been around would only allow them to be considered as a young bud, but that was extremely difficult in Naveya City .
One needed to know the biggest gang faction inside Naveya City, the Emerald Rock, had only been established for less than 5 years .
In fact, the book mentioned that most of the people thought that if Oak Hand had no intentions of becoming the biggest faction in Naveya, the so-called Emerald Rock will not be around .
As though Kieran was insulted, he stepped up to the old man, looked down at his hunchback, one-eyed figure and asked with a cold tone, "Since when did Oak Hand become so impolite?"
Kieran slightly showed off his killing intent as he spoke; no devil, no cardinal sins, only the one originating from himself .
Still, it made the old man stagger backwards . In the old man's eyes, Kieran's figure was long gone and what he saw was the charging of a myriad of soldiers and horses .
Iron flowed like the rapid current; blood stained the battlefield like the setting sun .
The aura of a true warrior that had fought in the battlefield caused the old man's only eye to widen .
He managed to get a hold of the wooden wall beside him, thus saving himself from an ugly fall but he was still rendered speechless under Kieran's pressuring aura .
Until Kieran put away his killing intent, the old man panted heavily as though he was a drowning victim being rescued .
"P-Please forgive me dear sir! We don't mean any disrespect! But that thing happened recently forced us to take extra precautions! As you may have know, the reason why Oak Hand has always been around is because of our vigilance . "
The hunchback, one-eyed old man panted hard before standing properly in front of Kieran in a respectful manner .
A gatekeeper like the old man might only possess common battle capabilities but had sharp eyesight that surpassed others . Surely he knew what kind of people he could afford to provoke and what kind he couldn't . Kieran, the warrior that came from the battlefield was definitely one of the people the old man couldn't handle .
"That thing? What thing?"
Starbeck who was silent for a quite a while suddenly opened his mouth .
The mimosa tried to maintain a steady tone, suppressing his trembling voice and purposely spoke slowly; he sounded like someone that was trying to fake some kind of accent .
However when Kieran took a step back and whispered to the mimosa's ear, his fake accent became thought-provoking . At least the Oak Hand gatekeeper saw the scene and his remaining eyes was glimmering .
"My dear lord, are you curious about it? I guess you must have stayed in your family's manor for quite a while, otherwise, you must have heard about some reckless fools that stole the Holy Thorn Grail two weeks ago . Because of this incident, we have to be more careful than ever . After all, the folks at Thorn Temple have been crazy about finding the ones who stole it and the likes of us are the ones they showed "extra" care . " The Oak Hand gatekeeper said with half flattery, half explaning but his words didn't sound like he was trying to probe for information .
Although the gatekeeper was curious about where Kieran and Starbeck came from, he knew how to guarantee his own safety .
