Chapter 230 - Red Rider 3
Red Rider 3
Eleventh quest
They threw off the red gowns. Team members surveyed the area in order to get the idea which path they could choose. They did not know about the merchant however they were willing to take pain to save the merchant.
The threat of the deduction of the quest perks was enough to bring cold sweat for them. They were not sure how this would influence however none of them wanted to experiment to test it.
The audience kept gossiping about the red riders. They wished that this time they could be able to capture the red rider. At least once they point out his identity they could get rid his terror.
"We can keep eyes at the audience. The merchant or rich people always appear different from others with their behavior and actions." Sashi commented.
She has something better in her head so she added, "Some of us could search the merchant and others should watch the red riders. The first rider that would win the race might be the killer or he might take help of others. Well it is high chance that the killers would follow behind the merchant since they might not kill openly."
Other team members listened her. Her suggestion could save lot effort once the riders entered the race area. It would be chaotic because the audience would react to the winner.
In such scenario half of the team members should be ready for the action and battle while others should protect the merchant. This way the team members might stop the bad omen that could taint their reputation as the strongest team.
"Your suggestion is effective. The red riders are in numbers. They could take advantage of the audience. The second possibility cannot be denied. The killer might not kill under the race area. Regards to the both possibilities Clark and Sashi would hide near the exit. The exit is the place where the merchant could face sudden attack. There is only single exit it means first of all the rich and or the organizers would leave the race area. Since we are not clear about the under threat merchant then you both should keep eyes at every elite." Junan released first order in the light of the suggestion.
It was like blind pursuit so the effort might make them exhausted. It would be tough to stop the murder.
After giving orders to the two, Junan looked at Jake. "At top front you can see the entry point for the winner. Your responsibility is to take direct target of the winner or any suspicious red rider that wanted to move toward the elite people. Kill without thinking twice. If the things go wrong we are here to act in accordance with." Junan gave second order.
Jake nodded and silently moved at the pointed location. The team members were near the race area. It was some time ago that the riders left.
Team members could easily plan how to protect the merchant and tackle the riders unless all the red riders start attacking on them. They could not deny that the red riders were enemies.
"Orin and Albert would make entry when the riders try to stop the team members in any way. Ahram and I will reach the audience and try to search the merchant." Junan commented. Orin and Albert left to remain near the race area.
Junan fixed his appearance a little. The sword strip lowered down so that no one should notice his weapon. It was great favor that they were no more tainted with the blood and mud when they got transferred in the new quest area.
Team did not need to worry the spoiled gowns.
Junan and Ahram walked toward the audience where they found the rich people sitting concerned.
There was some reason that the audience did not bat an eye at the team members. They looked similar of the city security members. Their presence was expected in the horse race.
The city security was also searching red rider however they failed in all attempts. The merchants and the rich people were not satisfied how useless security members worked.
For them the security people were not sincere. Their efforts were slow. It annoyed the merchants because they could see how the red rider was killing rich people one by one.
With the slow pace of the security people there won't be any merchant left alive by the time they found whereabouts of the red rider.
One of the merchant looked at the security men. He never saw them before. They looked quite active and responsible. It was strange because security men were mostly fat belly lazy dogs.
However he sighed. He did not tell his friend that he received threat yesterday. Instead he came here in hope that this race might expose the real red rider.
Now he was feeling that he should have told his friend and taken his advice what to do. Normally within two or three days after the threat paper the merchant was killed.
He was sweating with fear. He was unsure whether he would be killed today or tomorrow. The result of the race today matter to him most. It was the last hope or else he would escape from the city.
The city became dangerous place for merchants especially. He asked his guards to remain active. As soon as he witnessed the end result of the race, he would escape.
This was the plan or else he should get ready for the red rider. Mendon wished to escape he was not worried for his wealth. Life was important, he could earn wealth but not the life.
Mendon was clueless that the red rider did not want his wealth instead his life. Junan came toward Mendon because he noticed strange concern on the face of this merchant.
This part of the guest audience was reserved for the riches so it was not difficult for security member to walk around this part.
