CH 98

Dozens of members of the Red molars were approaching the carriage with ferocious momentum.

People who had gathered to taste strawberries began to murmur.

“It’s the Red molars.”

“Coming in large numbers, they’re going to make trouble again.”

“What are you staring at? Scram?”

“I don’t give a f*ck about you guys. Go when I’m saying it nicely.”

The gang began to threaten people.

The powerless ordinary residents withdrew in confusion, and even the fairly talented mercenaries left the place with a displeased expression.

“Oh, Uncle Reville! They’re coming!”

“What should we do now? Uncle Reville.”

Greg and Heron asked in trembling voices.

Reville said, looking at the two Beastmen in a calm voice.

“It’s as per the plan, so don’t panic. You take the horses and get out of here. Those guys won’t stop you”

“What about Uncle Reville?”

“Of course, I’ll stay. I’ll hold on to them for as long as I can so that I can buy more time for them.”

“What are you talking about Uncle Reville? They’ve got dozens of people over there?”

“I’ll take care of that, so don’t worry.”

The two of them mumbled their lips at Reville’s stern attitude.

Despite the nervousness and fear, they could not easily leave the carriage.

Looking at the two, Reville smiled.

He patted both of them on the head, and spoke in a soft voice, unlike his usual self.

“You’ve done enough of your part. So there’s no need to worry. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Uncle Reville…”

“Uncle Reville…”

“Hurry! If you guys stay, you’ll be dragging me. Wait at the place we promised.”

Both of them bit their lips.

They were so angry and ashamed that there was nothing they could do even if they stayed.

“We’ll go ahead and wait for you Uncle Reville.”

“You must come! Uncle Reville”

Reville looked at the two young Beastmen and nodded silently.

Immediately Greg and Heron took the horse tied to the carriage and left the place

‘Their goal is obvious. Strawberries in the carriage… and me!’

Before he knew it, the members of Red molars surrounded the carriage in a big circle.

Moments later, Balik appeared from among them.

“Haha! Long time no see, M*ther f*cker! I didn’t expect to see your face again.”

“Me either, Balik!”

When he called Balik’s name without hesitation, the eyes of the henchmen of Red molars became fierce.

However, Reville’s expression was not at all disturbed by the pressure coming from all sides.

“Where’s the girl you kidnapped?”

“Oh my, why are you in such a hurry? Isn’t checking the items come first?”

Balik flicked his finger at the strawberry in the wagon.

Reville took a box of strawberries out of the carriage.

He walked to a place a little away from them and placed the box down.

One of the henchmen quickly picked up the box and took it to Balik.

“Ho ho ho! This is the famous strawberry ?”

Balik picked up the strawberry like he was tempted.

He unconsciously admired the coveted and glossy strawberry.

KRUK KRUK KRUK

He picked up several strawberries at once and pushed them into his mouth.

After devouring the strawberries, satisfaction bloomed on his face.

“This is how it tastes. Definitely, the aristocrats would go crazy.”

“If you’ve checked the stuff, bring the hostage right away.”

“Oh… the hostage? Do you know what? I have no intention of handing over the hostage.”

“Didn’t you want to take strawberries?”

“Of course, I will. After I beat you to death.”

“Get ready, boys. There shouldn’t be a scratch on the strawberries.”

The members of the organization surrounding the carriage began to narrow the distance step by step with a grim smile.

“You heartless scoundrels….”

“Hahaha, I’ll take it as a compliment.”

Reville shouted while taking something out of his arms.

“EVERYONE STOP!”

The besieging gang stopped, and flinched.

Reville had an unknown artifact in his hand.

“If you come any closer, I’ll blow away not only strawberries but everything around here at once.”

“What nonsense!”

“Hahaha! You’re spouting nonsense because you don’t want to die.”

Everyone laughed looking at Reville, but Balik shuddered in the back with an unknown creep.

‘Why is he confident?’

The moment he doubted, he noticed that Reville’s eyes were headed to the strawberry box next to him.

Balik moved reflexively.

BOOM

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

“ What the f******Ck”

“ whaaaaaaaaaaaat”

“ That b*tch.”

The shocked Red molars henchmen slowed down and stepped back as they saw the explosion.

The dust cleared, and the moans of the members who were caught up in the explosion came out.

Among them was Balik.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

He didn’t get hurt due to his huge reflex, but he couldn’t avoid the impact of the explosion since he was close.

As soon as he came to his senses, he stared at Reville as if to kill him.

“M*ther f*kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkker”…”

“What do you say? Are you ready to make a deal now?”

When asked a question containing sarcasm, Balik gritted his teeth to the point that it made a sound.

Reville, on the other hand, slightly raised the corners of his mouth thinking about the back of the three men passing through the gate.

‘Until they save Miru… I have to buy time somehow!’

“Huh, what? How….HOW did you get in here?”

“You guys just… ugh!”

The hideout of the Red molars continued to echo with screams and cries.

Perhaps they never expected an outside intruder to come here, the members of the organization were swept away without proper resistance.

The backstreet thugs didn’t stand a chance against Alfred, who was well warmed up, and Andras’ tight support.

I hugged Akum from the rear and cheered hard.

While we were breaking through the enemy’s hideout.

Pow wow woooo

“Did you find something?”

Poo!

As if he had found something again, Akum looked at me and cried.

When I put the baby Yakum on the floor, he started running somewhere.

We naturally followed him.

The baby Yakum stopped in front of the deepest part of the space, where there was a large and colorful room.

Poo woooooo!

“I think I can feel something behind this door.”

RATTLE

I tried to open it myself, but the door seemed to be locked from the inside.

“Senior, stand back.”

Alfred immediately pulled out his sword.

I picked up Akum and stepped back.

SHIRAK

As soon as the sharp blade of the sword flashed, the door lost its original purpose and made way for us.

Entering the room, we were able to meet familiar faces for the first time here.

“Crazy f*ck… how did you get here?’

“ Candy Uncle!”

Derick was seen and in his hands were Miru tied with a rope.

“Miru!”

As we approached, Derick hurriedly pulled a dagger out.

“DON’T MOVE! Don’t move! You know what happens when you move?”

Derick placed the knife on the neck of his niece.

The mere sight of him made my face crumble with disgust.

“Senior, that’s her uncle, right? He’s rotten to the core.”

“I agree.”

Alfred and Andras whispered in a low voice, trying not to provoke Derick.

“NO.. no… You should have run away without being greedy… you guys move a little bit. I don’t know how this dagger will move!”

“Uncle…”

I looked sadly at Miru with tears in his eyes.

“Derrick… do you have to do this? She’s your niece. She’s your blood.”

“Shut up! Why do YOU care about it!”

“…”

“It’s all f*cked up because of you. The bloody strawberry field and the village at peace. Why meddle in other people’s village affairs when you’re not a Beastman!”

I Stared at Derick who was looking at me with red eyes.

There was so much emotion in those eyes that I couldn’t understand.

“Get out of here, quickly go out of here. If you move even an inch this way, I’ll cut open her throat.”

Andras and Alfred couldn’t move hastily at the sight of Derick.

It was a situation where Miru, who was caught in the middle, could get seriously injured.

“What should we do, Andras?”

“ Elaine, It could be more dangerous if we just rush in.”

When the two were confused, I quietly put the baby Yakum on the floor.

“Wait a minute Akum dear.”

Poo?

I Slowly approached Derick.

My bold move shocked Alfred and Andras.

“Stop, stop, stop! I told you not to come near me. Do you think I won’t do anything?”

I didn’t listen to Derick.

I just read through the fragments of emotions flowing around him one by one with the ability to communicate.

Jealousy.

Resentment.

Frustration.

Anguish…

The greatest fragments of emotion among them were

Fear and Anxiety.

Huge energy gushed out of my body.

Anger at Derick moved my energy and began to bind him like a big spider web.

Small fragments of emotion were swept away by the energy of my great anger.

Only fear and anxiety filled Derick.

He trembled all over with intense fear.

[Target in extreme fear.]

[Target’s mental strength is completely exhausted.]

[Using ‘Mind control’ on a non-Beast target.]

[‘Mind control’ invoked in incomplete form.]

I felt a sensation similar to when I used mind control in the Ant cave.

As the alarm explained, Derick began to be manipulated incompletely.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

Derick’s body slowly moved like a puppet at my will.

He tried to flinch and rebel because of incomplete mental control, but he couldn’t get out of my control.

According to my will, Derick slowly released Miru without a delay.

I reached out to Miru, who looked surprised.

“Come here, Miru.”

“Candy Uncle…”

“You don’t have to be scared anymore.”

Miru overcame her fear and stepped forward little by little.

Her steps got a little faster, and when she almost reached me, she jumped into my arms.

“Miru, are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“Uhhh… No, I’m fine.”

I let go of Miru’s tied hand and checked to see if she was hurt.

Since she was tied for a long time, there were red scratches on her wrist.

I felt sorry for her and patted her on the head.

“Uncle…”

“Yes, Miru.”

“I… I… I… I wanted to stop my uncle Derick, so… I couldn’t think of anything… I… I… I said I’d do everything on my own, but… I ended up bothering you…”

Miru stammered, holding back her tears.

Is it because of anxiety?

She didn’t stop talking while she was out of breath.

I hugged Miru slowly.

Numerous emotions got transmitted from the little girl in my arms.

Guilt,

Sadness,

Regret…

Emotions that were too heavy for a little girl to bear.

Once again, I took out my energy.

With a soft and warm energy I wrapped Miru’s whole body.

My energy melted away Miru’s dark feelings.

Fragments of emotion started disappearing one by one.

Finally, there was only one emotion was left, the largest and the hardest.

It was a great Anxiety.

-Won’t adults hate me if I make trouble?

-Wouldn’t my mom have a harder time if I’m hated?

In the little girl’s mind, there was a great sense of anxiety that she should always be a good child.

“It’s okay, it’s not Miru’s fault.”

“But…! But…”

“You don’t have to be a good girl all the time. Sometimes you can force yourself to whine or be childish and fickle. So……Can you rely on me a little more?”

My question broke away Miru’s great anxiety little by little.

And the emotions that she was holding back poured out at once.

“Ugh……Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…Why couldn’t you come a little faster idiot Uncle.”

I smiled at the way she acted like a normal child.

I gently swept her back to soothe her tears.

“Ahhhh…Koh kough!”

Derick was seen coughing in the background.

The thought of him taking such a good and tender child hostage rekindled my anger.

The enormous energy that stretched out from me enveloped Derick once again.

His body trembled like an electric shock.

I could feel Derick’s struggling spirit.

It was precarious and unstable, like a small water balloon on the palm of my hand.

Like a water balloon that pops when you lightly squeeze your hand, Derick’s mind seemed like one that can be destroyed easily.

‘Does this trashy guy need forgiveness?’

‘Wouldn’t it make Miru happier if I shattered the mind that thought of taking her as a hostage?’

At that moment when a cold energy lingered in my eyes.

PULL.

The little catgirl’s hand tugged at my dress.

When I looked down, Miru shook her head.

Maybe she wanted to block my action.

“Are you sure you?”

NOD.

I wanted to punish him right away.

However, I could not force myself to ignore Miru’s feelings.

I gathered my spirits around Derick with a look of a little despondency.

His body sprawled on the ground like a doll with a broken string.

‘Ha… yes, I will not punish you for your sins.’

‘Instead, you’ll have to step up again in front of the betrayed villagers and their families.’

Only then did Miru bury her face in my arms with a relieved expression.

“Thank you… …Uncle….”

Miru fell asleep softly as if her tension had eased.

I held her carefully so as not to wake her up.

Peace came quietly to my heart, too.
