[Valia Grewsk P.O.V]

Today , me and my brother Tyrell went to the forest to find a Rosalfryn for our mom , a plant who can cure the fever .

We were from a blacksmith family, from what mom said the city of Olrik was a prosperous and everyone were having a happy life until the baron Tharan Hammerbon came .

He raised the tax , now we have to pay three time more than before . The guards now do what they want without being worried . The noble can do horrible thing as long they have money . With Hammerbon slave trade , he have a tons of gold in his safe chamber . He sell slaves across the region , the rumor say that all his slaves come from the group of bandits present in the region .

We walked for ten minute , we're not far from the city so , it shouldn't have any bandits around here.

Tyrell : " Hey sis look, isn't that what we're looking for ? "

He pointed his finger at a plant who seemed to be the one .

Valia : " Yes it is, let's get couple more then we can go home ."

We took a couple and were ready to go home, I'm excited to see mom again it's been two week since we saw her .

Walking in direction of the city , three guard come out of the bush and surrounded us .

Tyrell stood in front of me trying to protect me. Scared and surprised , I trying to know what is going on.

Valia : " What can we do for you, honorable knight ? " With a scared voice.

Guard #1 : "How about following us ? Hehehe. "

He was looking me with a perverted look . We have to run , I don't want to end up like this . Mom need the plants .

Valia : " Sorry we have to go home . Please let us go . " I pleaded.

Guard # 2 : " Sorry girl , your father sold you to us , to repay his debt . Your mother was sold too ."

Tyrell : " You're lying !! No way father will do that ! "

Guard # 3 : "Yet it's true , we gonna have some fun with you like we did with your mama . Kekekeke. "

Valia : " No this can't be happening."

I started to panic.

Tyrell rushed toward one of the guards trying to hold him down .

Tyrell : " Quickly Valia ! RUN!"

I run as fast I could and just in time to see Tyrell behind me, who was being overpowered by the guards .

I was running barely ten seconds before a guards catch up to me and knocked me out with a kick at my belly . I was projected at a tree before my conscious slowly faded .

[Mark P.O.V]

After getting rid of two group of bandits , Lusella returned to the cave. She expect me to keep the hunt going but I decided to catch up some sleep . But the freaking coffee prevented me to sleep for two hours , then I finally was able to sleep.

Hearing somebody calling me , I woke up , thinking it was Lusella .

Looking where the voice came , I saw three guy in armor probably guard , two of them holding respectively a girl and a boy .

Guard # 1 : " Hey you ! Wake up ! Tch, I thought the commander hired professional , these piece of trash can't even do their job right . "

Oh, they think I'm a bandit . Well I did take their clothes because mine was dirty and I didn't have any mask.

Mark : " Sorry , I didn't sleep last night, too much action . " I said with a grin , not like they can see it.

Guard # 2 : *sigh*" Just take these two to the camp, they will know what to do . And don't let them escape , they're tied it should be easy ."

Guard # 3 : " And don't damage the merchandise , we need to have some fun with them later . Kekeke."

Beurk , creepy as poop . Should I kill them ? Yeah, more stack for me .

Coming down of the tree , they threw the two kid at me . They are gagged , hands and legs tie . It seem that they expect me to carry them alone . The guards turning away , and walked where they came from .

Putting the two on the ground , I dashed at the guards while casting Lightning Chain . They realize it but it was already too late . The lightning already hit and cause them to shake like a leaf . I throw my hand backward to take as much momentum as possible and throw my punch at one of them like throwing a baseball. His nose is definitely broke , his teeths too . He flied couple meters away .

Spinning , I uppercut the other one , trying mimic a move that I saw in video game , but instead of fire coming out of my punch , I added a bit of lightning in it.

Mark : " Shoryuken! "

His jaw completely in pieces , he flied couple meters upward to finally crash down on the ground and vomiting blood .

Guard # 3 :" W-w-wait , why are you doing ? W-we're allies ! "

He was so scared that he actually pissed at himself , the liquid was leaking from his pants and puddle of urine formed under him.

I shot a lightning ball at the puddle , instantly it goes to his groin and steam started to come out from it . Then I blasted his head with lightning ball .

After absorbing their soul , I returned to the victims , they're awake now and seem to be afraid after the show I've done.

Now , what I'm going to do with them ? I can't let them go now , because it seem that their kidnapping was planned . Meh , let's just ask them .

I removed the gag on them .

Mark : " So , how did you guys get caught ?"

Valia : " We.... We were sold by our father ..." She said with depressing look .

Tyrell : " NO! That's not true , they were lying !"

Mark : " Great! " I said in the same time .

Oups , I slipped my tongue . I mean if they were sold by their father , they wouldn't want to go back to their home .

Tyrell : " What do you mean by GREAT ? "

He seem shock and starting to get really piss .

Mark : " I mean great for me since I don't want you to go back home yet ,and it will be problematic for me . Oh yeah , less great for you two with that pussy ass dad, sorry . "

Tyrell : " What did you say you motherfucker !"

The boy keep shouting insult at me , but I couldn't care less because I know what to do with them now.

I put back the gag on the lad. The girl seem more reasonable .

Mark : " As long you do what I say , I can guaranteed your safety . "
