A.N. It is an hour past midnight, and I have a test later this morning. Why am I writing this instead?


Chapter 73 - Trading Fang

"Alright. You got what you came for. Now hand over the woman."

Ironwood resisted the urge to rub at his headache. This really was turning into a bad day. He watched as the Faunus release the woman, allowing her to walk forward slowly.

Ironwood grimaced as he noticed that the knife was still embedded in the woman's arm. Hopefully one of his troops radioed a medic to come here.

"Miss, are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah. I'm fine."

Hm? Somehow that voice seems familiar.

"Hey, hey, hey. So now what? Something else happening soon?"

The man that was fighting the Faunus earlier looked at ironwood with a cocky smile on his face. Ironwood stared suspiciously at the man.

"You will be held in for questioning. Why were you fighting the woman earlier? Who are you? Why did you kill one of the White Fang?"

"Sheesh, you got a lot to ask. But if you ask me..."

Out of nowhere, the man moved with such a burst of speed that he bypassed several drones that were blocking his way. Grabbing on to the recently freed woman, he held up his knife to her throat.

"I'd say I'd like to negotiate my own freedom."
