[Job/Private]Mother Told Me Not To Talk To Strangers

As if constant surveillance wasn’t bad enough, there were also hidden muggers roaming around the populace. Rumor had it that these muggers were hitting absolutely anyone who took a back alleyway shortcut. Ren hadn’t cared as much till he received a letter earlier on in the week from a Sir Backlot. The letter requested that Ren had taken care of the felons who were attempting to damage the Zou empires name. He understood the purpose of the request but felt as though this was pretty much a job for the guards who constantly surveyed the empire. Pretty sure that this fell under their authority and he wasn’t in the mood to step on toes.
 

He had a few ideas planned out but for now the best thing to do was gather information. He roamed the city and received bits and pieces of information. Many said that the robberies occurred after midnight while others said they only occur when you take the back alleyways by yourself. Which in all honesty made perfect sense. He had received information from Sir.Backlot saying that the there were six robbers who worked in groups. This underground robber system seemed to be working pretty smoothly if they were able to rob so many people so easily.

Ren wasn’t the type of guy to swoop in as the hero, he was the type to take on the group with no tricks up his sleeves no matter the cost. Which was clearly the plan. It was simple, he would walk into any normal alleyway after midnight and make it look as though he were lost while carrying any random valuable, possibly his sword. Then he would catch the men off guard and take them down in one fell swoop. It was a simple plan that any man could come up with. But that’s what made his plan completely sound proof, no one would expect a Fanalis to walk in so easily. Maybe the idea of being a Fanalis would scare them off, he would need to find a robe somehow.
 

It was time to go exploring for a costume. Making his way through the city he searched through several dumpsters till he found just the right robe. It was an imperial style black hooded cape, which should definitely hide his hair and eyes from any muggers which would give the ultimate chance for a surprise attack. He chuckled at how smart his plan had become, he was not going to lose this game to any simple muggers no matter the cost. He made his way into a shop as he held the black cape on his right hand. He wasn’t planning on wearing it till the time was just right. He ordered a small dish. As soon as the order arrived he dug into the food as his stomach growled in reply. He hadn’t really eaten in quite some time but this should be able to hold him long enough so that he can finish the mission before the day is over.

It was half an hour before midnight as Ren walked the streets of Zou. Guards seemed to be on high demand tonight as they covered most corners tonight. As though they were waiting for some big drug bust of sorts. He wondered if they knew of his mission, anyways if they did, it didn’t matter because he honestly didn’t care at all. He could care less, he simply wanted to finish his mission and meet up with his companions to start whatever else they had in mind for the rest of the time they had in Zou. He was amused at the fact that no officer seemed to approach him on the matter that he was out at such a late hour. He spotted the alleyway that was most known for the robberies and before getting near it he made sure to place the hooded cape on himself. He couldn’t risk revealing his identity. As he got closer, He moved his right hand down towards the handle of his blade and his left hand towards the outer layer of the hood down so it could cover his face a bit more and hide his hair and eyes. Placing his left hand on his side, he held the cape piece down so he could avoid any possibility of someone seeing within the cloak. It was game time.
 
Entering the alleyway he took slow paced steps making sure to peep over his shoulder with every passing second. Just as he stopped in the center of the alleyway he could hear several footsteps coming from all around him. One man stepped out of the shadows in front of him while another two came directly from his right and two more came out a door from his left. He could hear one footstep from behind him and this is the one that spoke. He spoke in a gruff tone. ”Don’t make any sudden movements, Turn slowly around and remove the hood.” He could hear blades being unsheathed but simply chuckled as he tossed the cape off of himself using his left hand as he launched it at the two to his right. They fell back as they stumbled to take the cape off. Ren ran forward at a sprint and made contact with the man who spoke first.
 
He unleashed a flurry of kicks aimed at the man’s lower body, in five mere kicks the man was down on the ground unable to move from the pain. Just as he sent his last kick. The other three charged at him followed by the other two who had removed the cape. Ren unsheathed the blade swiftly to meet the blade that all the other men carried. He parried each hit swiftly as he fought the mens swords as they circled him. Just as they all prepared to slash, Ren jumped straight into the air, ten meters above and came crashing down right at the center with his fist in the spot which he once stood. The men flew up into the air from the hole that was created and fell straight to the ground.
 
He sighed and chuckled as the four men hit the ground and grunted from the pain, they fell unconscious. Just as he turned, he heard a single pair of footsteps coming in from right behind him. Just as he turned to dodge, he was nicked on the side of his left cheek, before the assailant could do another move, he dropped his blade and performed a flurry of five punches to the assailants upper body. He dropped immediately, these men were far too weak but he was glad it was over. Grabbing his blade he sheathed it and left the alleyway and signaled the officers that the assailants were in the alleyway.
 

Later on in the next day he had received a letter filled with huang and a thank you note. It filled him with joy to know that his actions helped to better the lives of others.
