Chapter 231 - Red Rider 4

Red Rider 4

Eleventh quest

"We are here. If you are facing any worry please tell. We will help." Junan spoke professional. He had seen security members walking at the outer edges of the race area.

They were fat belly and too lazy to bother anyone suspicious. Junan could tell the level of desperate city people. The city people would be hopeless about the security members to the point of hatred.

This justified why horse race was strange. Even the announcer bluntly said that the new entrants offended the red riders. Who were red riders? They were nobody but the murderers or the helpers of murderer..

"I do not need your help." Mendon spoke gritting his teeth. Although this security member was different from others, he could not see fat belly or the laziness on his face still Mendon felt he would curse with hatred.

Junan noticed the exhaustion on his face. This was the result of his concern. His facial expressions and the answer was enough for Junan to confirm that this merchant was under threat.

He thought to keep his eyes at this merchant in order to see whether his premonition was to the point.

The merchant did not bother to look at the security man instead he rubbed his hand. Time was skipping and soon the riders would show up.

Junan gestured Ahram that he found the merchant. This would make the things approachable in case they faced red riders' attacks. Others were not concerned only that they shared big money for the reward just to capture the red rider.

Their personal guards were also there in case they found the real red rider, they would try best to kill him. It was mere plan because they were not confident to act on it.

The red rider did not use any traditional weapon instead card. They could not tell what would happen in front of the red rider. The threat was running on their nerves.

Junan wanted to make sure that the merchant should not get hurt in any case. No matter if he has to order Jake for modern attacks at the red rider.

The current location of the team members was perfect for any action.

…

The red riders were waiting the new riders at the six parted paths with the set traps. They got curious as to why the riders did not show up. One of the every two teams went to check if the riders were able to reach near but the riders were nowhere.

"Is it possible that they chose different path." One of the red rider asked. They were responsible to kill opponents yet the opponents' coward to not face them.

"There is only one path apart from these safe paths and I highly doubt that they perhaps went there. It means they would never come back." The other rider answered laughing.

In their eyes the riders were new in the city and wanted to earn the reward money yet they sensed the enmity of the red riders and decided to take alternate way.

None of the outsider knew that the second path was dangerous because of the sudden crevice in the ground. A day ago the earthquake made the crevice in the ground. Red riders happened to be there hiding. They were able to witness too. Now the enemies went there. The chances were that they would never come back. This made the red rider happy so they could go back in the race area and one of them could claim the reward while others would remain behind intentionally.

With the perfect planning in their minds they thought to resume the fake competition. They were ordered to chase the merchant.

The red rider wanted to kidnap the merchant then skill at the same place where the merchant laughed at him.

They headed toward the race area and one of them surpassed others. He entered in the race area and waved his hand in the air. The organizers looked at his disappointed.

There was mark of the card at the hand of the real red rider. The second witness provided this clue six month ago. The organizers wanted to see the red rider with the mark on his hand.

The red rider was at much distance from the race area. He was waiting for the merchant. Today he wanted to kidnap the merchant. One of the red rider went to tell him that the enemies were going toward their deaths.

The announcer spoke in less enthusiastic tone. "Today another red rider won. Congratulations for winning." With this announcement the audience started to leave.

The merchant also stood up to leave. His men were waiting outside the exit. Junan and walked at his left side at small distance. Ahram walked behind. The red riders scattered. Few were looking at the guess area where they could see merchant ready to exit.

They went to leave the race area because red rider did not order to attack at the merchant instead chase him.

The merchant was already scared. According to the plan the fake riders would kill the security members and guards of the merchant while the red rider would show up to capture him.

"This would be unsafe path for you to leave." Junan saw that lots of people were leaving and it was crowd everywhere, in case the enemies attacked then the team members would also defend. In that scenario the normal audience would bear the brunt of battle.

He was worried that this might also deduct something from the quest. He thought to stop the merchant from using the same path.

It was normal for any enemy to keep the track of the victim. In all crime movies it was similar situation when the side character got in trouble because of the villain. The reason was simple the side character did not bear the smartness of the hero.

Here Junan was going to take the claim for smartness. The merchant looked at him and glared him from head to toe.
