4 Glimpse of Sebastian's Power

Hnnnng~ Neigh!

Sebastian's horses suddenly neighed as the carriage stopped.

"What's wrong, Sebastian?" Alicia who's confused by the sudden stop couldn't stop to asked her butler, Sebastian.

Jiro, on the other hand, kept his silence despite his curiosity. However, he already had a guess what's about to happen.

"Young Miss, please stay there for a few a moment. I'm going to take care of some garbages on the road." Sebastian's rang outside the carriage as if he had a different meaning.

Raising her eyebrows in puzzlement, Alicia doesn't have any choice but sit calmly on her carriage.

However, Jiro opposite of Alicia, immediately fathom Sebastian's meaning.

'Don't tell me we are..."

Along with that thought of Jiro, an unpleasant and loud voice resounds in the distance outside of the carriage, which seems like blocking the road.

"Hold up your horses' brother! Would you be kind to give us some of your time?"

A man wearing a leather breastplate armor and worn-out clothes armed with scimitar on his right hand walked out of the big tree beside the road. Followed by a creepy laughed of 9 more men that filled the surroundings.

'Ambush?!' Jiro exclaimed in his mind. However, he immediately shook his head, erasing that thought.

'No, bandits?' Jiro wondered, which seems a more plausible explanation.

"Young Miss, seems like we're in big trouble." Jiro calmly spoke, though he's actually anxious at the current situation. Although this type of situation was normal and common in isekai anime's, it's still different if you are the one who's in the situation.

"Trouble? Haha. Don't worry, you can watch how Sebastian fold their body multiple times." Alicia proudly answered, unbothered about the current situation, as if she's already used to this.

'Come on, don't trigger a flag!'

'How can you be so calm at this time?!' Jiro retorted in his mind in disbelief. He couldn't believe Alicia's faith in Sebastian.

'How could a middle-aged man fight a number of adult men by himself?'

With a big question in his mind, Jiro poked out his head out of the window as he saw Sebastian slowly walked down of the carriage.

"Hehe. Thank you for giving us some of your time brother." The bald man on the front of the group of adult men spoke to Sebastian, seemingly the leader of the group.

Standing still, Sebastian eyed them emotionlessly. Jiro could not guess what Sebastian's thinking at the moment.

"HAHA. Boss, it seems we caught a big cat this time." A man behind the bald leader of the group whispered with a small smile on his face.

"Shh. Be quiet." The bald man replied covertly afraid to be heard by Sebastian. However, he's already laughing so hard deep inside of him. It's been a few weeks since they last caught a rich merchant. Now, just by looking at the carriage before him, he knew that whoever is inside the carriage is rich.

Even so, Sebastian actually heard their short conversation as he squinted his eyes for a moment before turning it back to its initial expression.

"Well, it's like this brother—"

Fwoosh!

Bam!!!

"Urghk!" The bald man groaned in pain at the sudden blunt force that hit his face as he was forced to fell on the ground along with his consciousness that slowly fading away.

Thud!

Silence filled the surroundings as no one could understand what happened. The bald man's group of adult men was gaping with a bewildered expression as they looked at their boss who suddenly fainted on the ground.

Jiro also had the same expression with them, he could not fathom what just happened. As far as he remembered, he just saw Sebastian's figure suddenly blurred for an instant. However, at that short time, the bald man already fainted on the ground.

A few seconds passed by, the group of bald man's dumbfounded members finally managed to back to their senses as they cried out in unison.

"BOSS!!!"

"W-What did you do to our boss?" The man who whispered earlier to the bald man asked Sebastian with a loud voice. Although he stuttered and currently terrified, he didn't show it on his face.

However, his question was met with the poker face of Sebastian. As if Sebastian isn't putting them in his eyes.

Displeased by Sebastian's attitude, the man unsheathed his weapon from its scabbard without hesitation showing a common scimitar as he screamed out. "Bastard. I don't care what you did but you are going to pay for it!"

As he then pointed the tip of his scimitar and uttered. "Let's kill him to avenge our boss!"

Upon hearing his voice, the furious and worried adult men behind him raised their weapons as they shouted at the same time.\\

"OUH!!!"

"KILL!!!"

"YOU'RE DEAD!!!"

The adult men shout reverberated as they bolted towards the motionless Sebastian.

As one of them reached Sebastian, he immediately targeted Sebastian's neck as he swung his short sword.

Slash!

"HAHA." The man starts laughing after he slashed Sebastian's neck. However, it didn't take long as his mouth left wide open as Sebastian's figure suddenly vanished in the air. Then, before he could react, a powerful blunt force solidly hit his abdomen.

Bam!!!

"Urgh!" The man winced in pain as he vomited while holding his aching stomach, as he then felt the ground getting closer to him.

Thud!

Sebastian pulled his right arm from the man's abdomen. This time, the adult men saw what happened.

"You, bastard!"

"Kill him immediately!"

"Motherf*cker!"

Who knows who started it but, with that shout everyone followed up with furious voices as they fiercely rushed and swung their weapons to Sebastian.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Although surrounded by them and bombarded with flurry of attacks, no one could even graze the middle-aged man, Sebastian which awe the watching Jiro.

'How could he be so powerful?' Jiro wondered as he found a new respect for this butler of Alicia.

After a few moments, Sebastian eventually knocked down the group of adult men, leaving the dumbfounded last conscious member of the group.

"No way…"

'Run!'

As if someone encouraged him the same time he exclaimed in his thought, the man immediately turned around and scampered without ounce of hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Jiro hurriedly shouted to inform Sebastian. "He's running!"

However, as if he doesn't hear Jiro's voice, Sebastian continued to tie the unconscious men with a rope that came out of magically.

'Oh, sh*t. Don't tell me he's really planning to let that man escape?' Jiro swore inwardly as he found himself pointing the tip of his index finger toward the escaping man.

'I don't know how to do this. But let me try!' Jiro thought as he muttered. "Air Shot!!!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Upon uttering those words, the air was immediately gathered before his finger, creating a baseball size air before it shoot toward the man's back with the speed of sound.

Bam!!!

"Ugh!"
