I'm coming home

'Oh Fuck!!'

The bandit leader clearly had the intention of escaping a foe he had hugely underestimated.

Never in his entire years of experience had he come across someone with such a vast area of attack skill. The best thing he could think of was to gather what he could and bolt away without looking back.

"Going somewhere?"

Witnessing what the bandit leader intended to do, Dante inquired but he clearly hadn't got the time to eradicate or rebuke a useless bug right now.

Aside from that, there wasn't any point in asking the bandit leader who he was working for. It certainly seemed to Dante that asking such a question was the trigger to the concurrent explosion of all the previous suspects they've encountered thus far.

"Please!! Spare me!! I do not want to die!!! Have mercy on me!!! I'll do anything please!!! I've got a family back home!!"

The bandit leader pleaded while slowly delving his hand into his back pocket to remove a picture of his wife and kid.

"Tch!!" Hearing his words, Dante couldn't help but click his tongue in anger before releasing his <Aura Pressure> which instantly pressed the bandit leader to the ground rendering his limbs and entire body paralyzed.

"Ahh!!" The bandit leader yelled in surprise before feeling a choking sensation around his throat.

"Let this be your first and final warning. Take your comrades and everyone else corpse aboard your ship and give them a proper burial." Dante declared while reducing the amount of <Aura Pressure> released.

This enabled the bandit leader to lift his head up a little as he glanced towards Dante.

"Every single gold coins aboard the ship is now yours, so make good use of it. If I were to ever set my eyes on you again?" Dante continued in a stern voice.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" *BOOM!!* A loud piercing sound of thunderclap resonated within the air right after a flash of lightning appeared as Dante declared his intentions before disappearing away from the bandit leader's sight.

"Mmm!!" The bandit leader eyes became dilated in fear while struggling to hold the urge of not peeing his pants in front of a being which could only be described as a single word.

'DEMONIC'

The current amount of gold coins aboard the ship was meant to be paid to all twenty one bandit members including the leader, but now that he was the only one left with the money, he now had more than enough to take care of his entire generation.

The bandit wouldn't dare to go back to his employer without the news of his target demise. Since he was now rich beyond his widest imagination, what more could he ask for.

He obediently gathered all the charred corpses on Dante's vessel towards his and set sail towards doing as he was ordered and living a life of luxury and utter bliss with his family.

*Is that so?* (Dante)

*Yeah. But I'll be on alert just in case anything happens,* (Landon)

*Let me know if you sense anything. I'll be there in a hurry,* (Dante)

*Thanks D. Be careful on your way back home,* (Landon)

*Yeah and you too* (Dante)

With the direct exchange of message he made with Landon just now through his Adventurer membership card, Dante was able to find out that he was the only one been followed.

This meant that the enemy wanted to silence him before disrupting any of their future plans.

But for them to have been aiming for the patient death of the Royal family, this could only mean that they weren't trying to make themselves known so quickly. Which means Dante had been gifted enough time to get his levels back up in a couple of years time.

Moreover, if the enemy were to act earlier than expected, then Cecilia would contact him through her membership card. After all they had form a party together once before.

**********

"Bloody idiots!!" Dante cursed while holding the helm as he was vividly ired by the fact that he was interrupted by those bandits while he was imagining some lovey dovey moment with Deena.

"I should have fucking kill them all over and over again. Ahhh!!!" He yelled in irritation.

"Deena!!" He yelled once again with his cheeks and ears all reddened up by the imaginary acts of debauchery swarming in to his mind.

"Baby girl. Be ready for me. Cause I'm gonna rock your world tonight,"He declared with his eyes glittering up in stars as he anticipate tonight hot event.

"FULL SPEED AHEAD!! ONWARD AND UPWARD!! YEAH!!!" And so he sailed across the wind faster than he could have ever imagined. For the distance back to the Duke's mansion wasn't a mere joke.

With his current speed he would most likely get there by sundown. He had to.

No!

He must!!

Not when a very large tent was formed between his thighs.

It was currently daybreak and so he had to make sure he returned to the Duke's mansion by sundown to have some alone time with Deena but that would have to be without the girls knowing he was around.

' I'll worry about that once I get there, ' Dante thought inwardly.

*****

After several hours of travelling and stopping by a few restaurants for a quick meal or two. Dante finally arrived to the Duke's mansion.

But upon reaching his destination, the strangest thing happened. He suddenly felt the urge to keep moving and to not stop the vessel.

*Beat!!* *Beat!!*

His heartbeat was increasing by the second and every fiber of his being were screaming to him to keep moving.

'But why?' He wondered. That's because he remembered leaving the girls and Deena in the Duke's mansion before setting off for his mission.

It hasn't even been two weeks since he last saw his girls but to him, it felt like years. He wanted to meet them again so badly. And so he parked his vessel and dropped off to enter into the Duke's mansion.

"Good evening and Welcome back Lord Dante," A rather old and matured maid who happened to be around the same age as Alfred welcomed Dante back home.

"Evening Mary. Are my girls around?" Dante inquired so that he could know how he would sneak Deena away into a private room to have some intimate moment together.

"Lady Deena, Delilah, Leah and Mia departed for The Green Emerald City just last night," The head maid replied in a calm tone.

" Huh?" Dante exclaimed as he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

'Why!!! I should have followed my heart!!' He yelled in his thoughts.

"By the way Mary, where's Alfred?" Right after he composed his thoughts, Dante thought of asking about Alfred since he was the one always tasked with welcoming people in.

"Alfred is currently on a business trip with His Grace, Lord Darik and Lady Deborah, " Mary replied with her usual calm and respective tone.

"What? My brother and sister were here?" Dante subconsciously inquired because if truly they were around a few hours ago, then he was sure a certain person will currently be in a depressed mode right about now.

"*Sighs* Yes Milord," Mary replied with her voice not concealing its sadness.

"Where is she?" Dante asked with his unsmiling face and stern voice indicating how unhappy he was.

"Follow me," Mary responded as she led Dante to the entrance of the dining room.

Dante opened the door to meet a beautiful woman around her early forties having her hair disheveled, her white dress torn around its sides and a disoriented make up on her face which formed a black colored tear line that had dried on her face.

The woman who happened to be Suzanne held a stainless jug in hand before throwing and yelling to the person opening the door of the dining room.

"I SAID GET OUT!!!"
