Chapter 29

A/N: Sorry for the lack of the updates. I had my final exams, and just got back into my home country.  

-x-X-x- 

Raoh held his sword as he looked at the three gates with the six guards. If he went directly there, they surely will alarm the others and makes his quest fail. 

*Swish* 

Using Shave, Raoh vanished from his place and started moving at inhuman speed. 

Some guards noticed a wind making line, and they rubbed their eyes. 

“What was that.” 

“Winds?” 

“Relax… It’s just a breeze.” 

Raoh made a turn around the Jail and found a spot without gates. Only walls and spiky nets. Taking a few steps backwards, he ran and made a huge leap, and his legs were on the level of the spikes. Raoh waved his sword a few times, cutting the spikes and making room for his legs, and he was above the first wall. In the next jump, he made it over them, to the main walls of the prison. 

Closing his eyes and unleashing his Observation Haki, Raoh put his hand on the wall and started walking, trying to locate the best spot to enter from. 

Soon, he stopped and unsheathed his katana, before making a few cuts, creating a square. Soon, the traced part of the wall fell, and Raoh held it with his hand, slowing its fall so it doesn’t make a high sound. 

Raoh lowered his bamboo hat and put it on his back, and he walked in. He just entered from the toilet. 

With his Observation Haki, he could move comfortably while being on guard all of the time, and he could avoid any soldiers. 

While walking, he spotted some cells with prisoners in them. They all looked thin, men, and women, and were chained to the wall. Given their fighting spirit, Raoh could determine that they are either strong physically or they are Earth Benders. 

Since everything here is made from iron, they couldn’t use their bending to get out. 

They gave Raoh a side glace, they were quite surprised, but they didn’t say anything. 

Raoh could determine that they are good people for that alone. 

While walking, Raoh clicked his tongue a few times. 

Guards are coming from behind him, and in the turn in front. 

There is no way for him to escape it seems. And even if there is, if this repeats, he will be caught, and he won’t find June. 

After waiting for the right moment, Raoh jumped and flipped, his feet landing on the ceiling. He stared down at one guard patrolling. Raoh smirked, used the ceiling to support his jump, and landed behind that guard, who heard the fall behind him. The guard turned, taking a fighting stance. Alas for him, one punch and he was knocked out. 

Raoh lifted him and started running, avoiding the guards that coming in his way. 

After going to the near bathroom, Raoh took the armour of the Fire Nation man, and he wore it above his clothes, before throwing the man inside the resting room and locking the door behind him. 

With some confidence and more room to breathe, Raoh walked into the halls with the Fire Nation Armour. Luckily, his helmet hid his face well. 

Using his Observation Haki, he could finally locate June. Raoh walked to the floor above, and he stood in front of one door. He gave a sneak peek inside, and he saw two figures. 

One was sexy, and the other was disgusting. One belonged to June and the other belonged to Admiral Zhao. 

Raoh crossed his arms and stood at the gate as if he is a guard. Another one like him passed, and they nodded at each other. 

“So, I’ve heard that you are a partner to The Ripper. Did you know he is a part of the White Lotus?” Zhao asked. 

“He just commissioned a protection mission.  I didn’t know who was he at that time.” June said. 

Raoh raised his eyebrows in amusement. She hadn’t known who he was at that time, his ass. She knew, and she had planned to ambush him. 

“Well, you have committed some crimes against the Fire Nation and the citizens with him. You know what that means?” 

“What?” June said in a cold voice. 

“I can kill you…” Zhao said. “Unless you guide us to The Ripper.” 

June paused for a second as if considering the offer. 

Raoh knew that there is one thing to tempt her. It is money. But Zhao seems to be playing the wrong cards. 

“What do you have to offer?” June said. 

“You can start a new life.” 

“I don’t want,” June said. 

Raoh didn’t feel disappointed. If he were here, he would have sold himself a long time ago. 

Zhao stood up and put his hands behind his back. He gave his back to June and looked over the window. 

“You just implied that you can take us to him.” Zhao sneered. “We progressed one step. But don’t worry, June. We are not going to kill you, not now. We are just going to work on changing your mind. Maybe cutting a breast or two would do it. Or do I have to insert a sharp spike in your cheeks? A beautiful woman like you would lose so much if she got such a scar.” 

“You should think more creatively,” June said with a frown. She herself didn’t know what she wanted. But she didn’t like the offers Zhao was throwing at her. 

Zhao felt angry. He raised his hand. “Take her to her cell. We’ll visit her later.” 

Soon, the guard next to Raoh came and lifted June, whose legs and arms were shackled, and took her back. Raoh walked along with that guard, lowering his head. 

When they reached the jail, the first guard threw June in and locked the door. 

“Fuck you!” June exclaimed as she fell. 

That guard then fell unconscious, his helmet breaking. Raoh clenched his fist after he was done punching. Staring at June, he picked up his katana and unsheathed it. 

June noticed that action and said. “I wasn’t saying fuck, to you! Idiot.” 

“Just shut up,” Raoh replied with a familiar voice. 

June titled her eyebrows. “You…”
