Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent-Chapter 244: I Will Storm House Silversword’s Estate if You Don’t Return with the Money You Promised
When Fabian saw Von attacking his comrades, he was shocked. "That bastard…what is he doing?!"
Justin was also surprised. He didn't expect the polite and honest Von to betray them at the last second.
"Von, what the fuck are you doing?!" Fabian bellowed, but his words fell on deaf ears.
Von had already started his attack. He didn't use his flail since he knew these people. He just used his physical strength to knock everyone out.
Seeing this, Henry was relieved. He didn't even need to intervene since Von was doing a great job in dealing with the situation.
Good thing my persuasion worked, but 5000 gold coins? The price isn't cheap…
He might be earning more now, but this amount of money was still a lot for him.
Soon, all the warriors under Fabian and Justin had been taken care of.
"Wait! This… don't come closer!" Fabian shouted nervously when he saw Henry approaching him.
"This is a misunderstanding! This despicable man forced me into this! I would never harm my own daughter!" Justin explained himself, his face full of sweat.
Henry raised an eyebrow when he heard this. He just arrived so he didn't know the situation.
"What is going on here, Miss Lyanna?" He looked at the only woman in the crowd with a face full of confusion.

"Sir Henry, that person is my father, but we have already severed our connection with him the moment he sold us to those slave traders!" Lyanna replied without even sparing Justin a glance.
Realization dawned on Henry. "I see…"
He moved his gaze back to Justin and said, his eyes filled with unconcealed contempt. "So you are the father who sold his daughters to pay off his gambling debts…"
"It's just a misunderstanding, sir. Please allow me to explain myself. There is a deepe-"
Pah!
Justin's world suddenly spun and he felt a sharp, stinging sensation on his face.
With a face full of fear, he looked at the old warrior in front of him.
"Si-"
He couldn't even finish his words when another slap came his way.
Pah!
Henry wasn't satisfied so he sent more slaps until Justin's face was no longer recognizable.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
Justin collapsed to the ground. His face looked like it had been bitten by a thousand bees.
He wanted to say something, but he found himself unable to properly say a word.
"Yahm shorey…"
He put on the most pitiful face he had ever shown to someone, but Henry remained unmoved.
The old warrior bent down and raised his hand.
Pah!
This time, Justin passed out.
With a scornful expression, Henry spat a mouthful of saliva on the man's face.
Ptuui!
"You're the only one left, pig." Henry muttered as he turned his gaze toward Fabian who was slowy moving backwards.
Seeing the old warrior's cold eyes, Fabian's knees almost buckled. "Sir, l-let's talk this out…"
Henry sneered. "You were so gutsy when you ordered your men to attack the warriors of House Silversword."
He walked towards Fabian, but before he could take another step, he felt a hand pressing on his shoulder.
Hm?
"Please let me deal with him. You see, I have a grudge to settle with that person." Von muttered.
Hearing this, Henry grinned. "He is all yours."
"Thank you." After expressing his gratitude, Von walked towards Fabian with steady footsteps.
Each step he took made Fabian feel uneasy.
"Wait! Sir Von, I will give you the money! You need money, right? I can give you as much as you want!" He forced out a smile as he tried to negotiate his way out of the situation.
"It's too late for that." Von raised his flail and swung it.
Whoosh!
Phsshhkkk!!
The spiky striking head of his flail struck Fabian's face, causing it to cave in from the impact!
When he pulled the striking head, Fabian stumbled and fell to the ground with a 'thud'.
Looking at the slave trader's twitching body, Von muttered under his breath. "That was oddly satisfying. I should have done that from the start."
At this moment, he felt someone tapping on his shoulder. "You made a wise decision, my friend. Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise."
Von stared at the old warrior and asked. "Are you leaving now?"
Henry nodded. "Yes."
There was no reason for them to linger. The officials and the city guards will be here soon so they had to leave immediately.
"You have to follow us back to North Pine Town if you want to get your money," Henry added.
Von shook his head. "I can't leave now. My daughter is sick and my wife is pregnant."
I see. Now I understand why is willing to work for such person. He has it tough too.
Henry didn't respond for a long while. "Since you can't come with us…how about this? I will leave a few of our people to you. Once we return to the estate, I will send a team of skilled doctors to take care of your family. Of course, the money I promised you will also be delivered at that time."
Von thought for a moment.
Is he planning to monitor my movements?
Well, it doesn't matter. I have nothing to hide anyway. And if the people he sends lay a hand on my family, I'm confident that I can kill them!
With this in his mind, he no longer hesitated.
"Alright."
Henry summoned a few warriors including Rigor. He specifically chose this guy to stay with Von since he was a former mercenary. He also had enough strength to escape if the situation became unfavorable.
"Stay here with Von and make sure that his family is protected. Communicate with me using messenger birds." The old warrior instructed.
"Yes, sir!"
Henry gave them a few more instructions before he turned his gaze back to Von. "My friend, we still have things to do so I'm afraid I can't stay here for long. I hope we meet again soon."
"I hope you return with the money you promised. Otherwise, I will storm House Silversword's estate even if it kills me!" Von responded.
