Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 33

Everyone was looking at me, wondering what I was going to do to him, which I interrogated him."

"How are you going to do that? He is unconscious."

"That shouldn't be a problem, Alex."

I lifted my right foot off the ground and moved it back. Then, as hard as I could, I kicked him in the groin.

Alex looked squirmish and had placed his hand on his private part. He looked at me like how I could just do that to another guy. Since I'm not a guy, I have no qualms about doing it.

His eyes shot wide open, and he began clutching his crotch in pain. Before he could do anything, I took out my sword and pointed it at his neck so he knew who was in control of the situation.

I threatened him that if he moved, I would kill him.

"So, who are you?"

The guy had his back to a wall, looking afraid, and was remaining silent. His eyes were darting all over the place, looking at his surroundings, and finally landed back at me.

"Then are you the only one following us?"

Again, he remains silent. I took my eyes off him and told Alex and everyone else to tell.

"Go run to Alice; they might be going after her right now."

Seeing the opportunity as I wasn't looking, the guy took out his dagger to try and attack me.

I knocked away his dagger without looking at him and stabbed the hand holding the dagger, causing him to let go of the dagger and yell in even more pain. Then I bash the butt end of my sword at his head to knock him back.

I intentionally let that happen to reinforce the fact that I was in control and that he was cornered.

"Better that you leave; this can get ugly."

Alex, Wendy, and Lucia nodded and began running back to check on Alice. When they left, I said to the would-be kidnapper.

"Don't try that again, and don't make me repeat myself; who are you?"

This time he answered, but he said he refused as he was holding his hand in pain.

"Guess I have to figure it out myself. Let's see, your so-called master didn't bother to give you better training with how pathetic you are. I guess they are either cheap or just poor for a mutt like you."

"Don't you dare badmouth, my master!"

He shouted in anger as I provoked him. So, he is really loyal to his master then.

"What? Did he pick a piece of trash off the streets?"

He looks distraught as I continue to provoke him.

"Compared to my family's black knights, you're just pathetic. However, it does narrow down the list of families you might be from."

Obviously, he was surprised when I mentioned black knights because those things are closely held secrets of every family who has them. Knowing them would require someone to be directly involved with the internal affairs of the family. By telling him that I know about their family's black knights, it means that he is dealing with a family much more powerful than them and that I'm in a family that they do not want to mess with.

Additionally, as I spoke to him, I changed how I used to speak, that of a high-born noble.

All these factors caused him to gulp in fear, like seeing me as someone far above him who could squash him and his master like bugs.

Good. Seeing him agitated, it was good he was like that because he is not thinking straight and is vulnerable right now.

"Maybe you're from the Sulmon, Grennell, Seaford, Eastburn, Stannoll, Lourkimb, Airkirn, Seandring, or maybe..."
