Volume 10 Chapter 42: Of Course It’s you

"Let me open a light," Keith raised his hand, and a light formed before them. Entering the cave, it was filled with darkness. There was only one way for them to move. 

Touching the sides, Keith understood this was man-made. Such ridgedness wasn't something a tunnel would make by itself. It was actually blown to pieces by a pickaxe. As the trio continued down, that was when he saw it. Support beams to hold the tunnel up. 

Mining carts filled with stones, prepared to be moved out. 

An entire mining operation! 

"Be prepared for a fight." 

"Ho!" "Po!" The two were ready. Keith nodded as they headed down when the group arrived before a large opening. That was when he saw it: there was mining equipment around here. Heading down, that was when he touched around. What are they doing with all of these stones? While he wondered, lights shined down! 

"You guys don't need to do something like that." Keith rolled his eyes. 

"Well played, child," A sudden clapping caused the lights to stop shining onto him. That was when he saw the three were surrounded by a group. 

From how they looked, the two didn't realize it. However, this was accounted for: heading into the enemy's lair and not fighting them? That was impossible.  

"I congratulate you for coming here."

"Save it, and how about you call out your boss, you grunt." The man talking wore the same uniform as the grunts. That meant he was a soldier, not a general. 

"..." The ninjas didn't say anything. They continued to stand there with a calm expression. However, a voice soon called out.

"To think you would come all of the way here."

"It's you." Keith stared at Long Xiaowen.

"Why do you sound so unsurprised?" Long Xiaowen was intrigued; this guy was way too calm. 

"Because I always felt you would do this." Keith was not an idiot. Long Xiaowen was a person that he couldn't get a read on. Because of that, his eyes were always locked on him. Not out of curiosity but wariness. 

"And when you said execution, that made it even more so." Execution then agreed with him. That sudden change in heart was not because of his words; it was something else. It just caused more doubt against him. 

"Haha, I did mess up on that," Long Xiaowen laughed. That was definitely an oversight on his part. A little hotheadedness and impatience had gotten him. 

"So what's with all the stones?" Keith never thought about so many. 

"Coins."

"Coins? You really sacrifice all your people because of a few coins?" Keith scoffed, "Do you think of me as a child?"

"Haha, I guess you're more than just one. Then let me ask you, has Long Lihua ever told you about the island?" 

About the island?

"I guess she hasn't told you much about it. This island once harbored quite dangerous beasts. These serpents were as strong as him."

...Strong as Cadmus? That him was enough to know it was Cadmus. That was something he was in disbelief.

"However, with the combined might of the ancestors and that dragon, they were able to defeat them. However, these serpents were never truly defeated. Even with their might, the only thing they could do was to seal it." 

"...You crazy son of a-" 

"So you understand now." Long Xiaowen laughed, "I'm going to use these stones to revive the serpents! Too bad you're not going to find out about it." He didn't even look at him any longer as he walked away from there. That was when a bunch of ninjas jumped at them!

"Hmpf!" Keith dashed at them while Aria flew like an arrow. The two of them were prepared to duke it out with all of them. There was no need to hold back as Keith swung his halberd ferociously! The ninjas were sent flying. But that was not the end, as more people came in droves to strike! It was a never-ending fight!

How many are part of his plans?! 

"You want to play rough, then so be it!" Keith swung his halberd even faster than normal! And he wasn't the only one in a fight like this. The Samui was surrounded by a group of ninjas. Yet, they couldn't take him down! 

The furball threw them around left and right!  

"Hah, I guess we need to waste some things if we want him gone," Long Xiaowen groaned. That was when the ground started to glow!

"Damn!" 

Booom! 

A giant explosion vibrated the entire cave as the ground started to collapse! Aria and the Samui slowly dropped down! Keith tried to use the rubble to get up. However, that was when someone appeared before him. 

"You're not coming back up," With one strike, he was sent flying down. 

Long Xiaowen nodded, "Let's go now." The ninjas nodded as they headed off; there were more plans.

"We need to make a move now," One person warned. Keith, the one who stopped the Samuis, was now gone. That was something Zhu Liqin and Setsuna would realize.

"I know. Do you have it?" That was when a ninja had brought out a small vial of red liquid. Blood. This was going to be used as a way to do something to do this.

"Have everyone been on place?"

"Mmhmm!"

"Then we could make a move tonight." Long Xiaowen grinned. Everything was in place.
