"Liye is innocent; it was just an accident. Who asked such weakling to attack Liye? His death was his own fault."

Although Ralen knew that maybe the Larken Clan would act if someone abused power to break the rules of Sword City, Yale was still a true genius with the sword, so he doubted that he would be punished even if the Larken Clan discovered about his actions. Instead, Ralen believed that in such situation the Larken Clan would try to protect him.

"As expected of the wise governor, Liye is indeed innocent. That coward guy was the only one to blame for his own reckless acts. This piece of trash in the floor had incited him, but she had also received some divine punishment."

Ralen and Selenia knew that Lar had some type of relationship with Liye, so they knew that her opinion was completely biased from the start, but she was also someone they didn't dare to offend due to her incredible talent with the sword.

Usually, the members of the Sword Five are talented and thanks to the fame obtained in Sword City, a lot of them managed to marry people of the Larken Clan afterward. However, the talent displayed by Yale and Lar was on a different league.

Unless they were fools like the soul-searched girl, they wouldn't dare to oppress Yale and Lar with their status in Sword City because they believed that both had high chances of being recruited by the Larken Clan in the future. After all, a talent in swordsmanship enough to surpass those on a higher stage was something that even the Larken Clan couldn't ignore.

They thought that their impression of Yale and Lar was high enough, but the truth was something they wouldn't be able to believe even disregarding the identities of their past lives.

Yale was already engaged into the Larken Clan, but he didn't plan to marry, and as no one knew where he was, the Larken Clan was offering a huge reward for finding him and deliver him to the Larken Clan. On the other hand, Lar was directly a member of the Larken Clan who had run from her house.

The Larken Clan extremely valued both of them, but they didn't want to be found by them. Of course, even if both of them were trying to avoid the Larken Clan, such clan wouldn't forgive those who harmed them, so the fates of those two members of the Sword Five were already sealed even if Yale hadn't acted against them.

"That guy had a bad reputation, and everyone heard him in the Sword Arena. He died by his own recklessness; there is nothing to blame Liye. Moreover, I think that Liye should be the new member of the Sword Five for the Apprentice Rank position, I believe that no one would be able to beat him in his same rank."

Selenia knew that the position would be for Yale in any case due to his shocking swordsmanship, but being the first in suggesting it was a way to improve Yale's impression of her. She hadn't shown goodwill from the start like Ralen as she was impartial, nor she had any type of relationship with Yale like Lar, so he wanted to improve her relationship with Yale as she was sure that he would be someone important in the future.

"That is right. Liye should be the new member of the Sword Five. Moreover, I think that we should replace our member at the Mortal Rank, she isn't worthy of her position."

Ralen was quite young for his rank, but he was still older than the others and understood that there was no way Yale would be happy if that girl remained in the Sword Five after she had threatened Yale's little sister. Furthermore, he wasn't even sure if that girl would awaken again someday.

"Just as the governor said, a person with such an evil character isn't worthy of being a member of the Sword Five. How about giving that position to Liye's little sister? She is still five, but she has displayed a shocking talent; I am sure she is worthy of the position."

Selenia knew that Yale cared about his sister since the threatening words towards her angered him, so she wanted to give Wyba some benefits to make Yale happy.

"That would be good, but Wyba is still too little, which means that she won't battle to defend her position. I think she wouldn't lose her position because she couldn't fight due to her age, right?"

Yale also noticed that the other two were scared by his performance and were trying to obtain his favor, so he planned to obtain all the profit he could.

"Of course not. She is just a little girl; there is no way we force her to battle until she turns ten. No one will challenge her, so don't worry."

The governor thought that it was normal as under ten practicing was impossible, and Wyba would be in a clear disadvantage even with an incredible swordsmanship. Moreover, battling against someone protected by the World Laws was problematic.

Yale's thoughts were just the opposite because Wyba wasn't a real human and her restrictions were different; if she were forced to battle, Yale feared that her identity would end up being exposed. Yale didn't plan to stay in Sword City for an extremely long period of time, so the time promised by the governor was more than enough.

"Then, Liye and Wyba are our new members. Now, can you two please get out of this room, Liye and I were in a private conversation before you came."

Lar had allowed those other members of the Sword Five to enter because Yale still needed them, but at that moment they weren't useful anymore, so she wanted them to leave quickly.

"Right, we shouldn't disturb more you two."

Saying those words, Ralen grabbed Selenia's arm and left the room. As for the unconscious ex-member of the Sword Five, he would just ask the staff of the inn to deal with her later.

After they left, Lar started laughing.

"As expected of Liye, in such a short span of time, Sword City is yours. Now, with you, your sister and me, we can decide anything in Sword City, even the governor can't stop us. Moreover, those two are scared of you after you have dealt with this piece of trash."

Lar stomped her foot into the girl's unconscious body, and the kicked her a few times. She had never dared to deal with that girl before due to her lack of support without contacting the Larken Clan, but thanks to Yale, she finally got rid of her.

"Sadly I can't punish her more than this right now, my current control over souls isn't high enough. With my previous power, her fate would have been far worse."

Yale didn't mind Lar's acts as he also hated that girl; his only regret was that she died too quickly. Although strictly speaking she was alive, with her current soul she was the same as dead, and no matter how much Lar kicked her, she wouldn't be able to feel anything.

"Liye, do you mind if I take care of her? If we leave her in this room, probably the inn would take care of her, and that wouldn't be fun. She has been so cruel by threatening to your sister, so I thought in giving her a similar destiny. I am sure that even in her current state, with her fame it wouldn't be difficult."

Anyone else who heard Lar's laugh while she was speaking those words would feel that she was a devil, but Yale thought that she was a good girl and his impression of her improved.

Usually, Yale would also hate that type of suggestion, but since that girl had wanted to do that to Wyba, Yale felt that it was normal that they did the same to her.

In his past life, he had always been like that, he remembered those who offended him or those close to him and paid back everything. However, Liye didn't just repay with the same; he liked to increase the punishment at least hundredfold as interests.

It was due to that behavior that offending Liye was a taboo that no one in their world dared to break because just dying would be a lucky outcome after having offended Liye.

"If you plan to sell her, do it into a public auction, everyone should see her and know what happens to arrogant and foolish people like her."

Yale disliked trouble, but he wasn't powerful enough to clear all the possible problems by himself. Thus, making an example of that girl would scare a lot of people. After all, anyone who thought about it a bit would guess that who turned that girl into something like a vegetable wasn't Yale himself, but some power hid behind him.

The fake background had been very useful to Yale in the Anpaes Kingdom, so he was planning to create another illusionary background in Sword City.
