Chapter-3[Caught]

'Damn it! I wasn't careful enough!...No, I need to get out of here!' Kyle struggled more and more to free himself and even tried to kick the bakery owner but all resulted in a wasted attempt.

The Bakery Owner shook his head at Kyle's attempts to break free, how could a malnourished kid even break free from him, who had worked in the dungeon before opening the shop, "Don't waste your time, you damn thief! You had been stealing from my shop for a month!"

The Bakery Owner revealed everything making people all around gasp in surprise. They only thought of Kyle being caught because of his clothes and other things but never for stealing, that thought never occurred to him. They were top dogs of the society, and they did corruption but never stealing in shops like this, maybe some did but not all of them.

Kyle frowned upon hearing that. He knows the consequences would be terrible if he was to be charged guilty in this world. The best would be spending years in prison, and the worst would be sold as a slave, and if this did happen, then all of his plans would go downhill. He had many things to do in this world.

Suddenly, a thought came to his mind, 'Yes, even though he looked and is strong but he is still a human right?...'

Kyle suddenly put his other hand onto the Bakery Owner's hand that was holding him and put pressure on the main points of the hand but before something happened, a frown appeared on Kyle's face, 'Why are his hands are rock hard like this?!'

Kyle felt like he was pressuring on a rock with his malnourished fingers, making him hurt them instead of doing anything to the Bakery Owner. He had used one of the acupuncture techniques to make the Bakery Owner's whole body go paralyzed but the muscles covering down the fat on the Bakery Owner's body failed his plan.

The Bakery Owner turned towards his left side where a man of small build, around 1.72 meters was standing wearing the same white chef clothes was standing and ordered, "Go and call the guards! This thief had stolen more than 10 gold coins worth of stuff from my shop!!"

Everyone gasped in surprise. 10 Gold Coins was an astronomical figure, while some of them could spend that much without batting an eye but not all. Even for the rich merchants here, this amount was enough to start a small business like carts and other stuff.

"Yes! Call the guards here! We don't need thieves in the dukedom!"

"This kid seemed to be from the slums here... the worst place breeds the worst people... I suggest that we should just sell him as a slave!" A fat man wearing expensive clothing and a blue furry robe over his body suggested. He had a vulgar smile on his face while he continued to rub his hands. Kyle shivered to hear that man as he looked at him. Kyle knows that the man was none other than the Slave trader, and the top one, so it was easy to see that Kyle would become handsome after some work was done on him.

"Yes! Let's sell him as a slave!!" A Lady wearing extravagant clothing suggested with her eyes showing greed as she sized Kyle.

Even the Bakery Owner had a complicated expression on his face hearing that, 'Even I don't have this extreme thought...and even though he is a thief but he is still a little kid...'

The Bakery Owner ignored all of them and nodded towards his small build worker who paused before.

The small build man nodded and just as he was about to run away and call the guards, a voice interrupted, making everyone turn their eyes onto the owner of that voice.

"Could you please release him?" The voice sounded childish but at the same time, it sounded quite appealing to hear.

Kyle mechanically turned his head towards the owner of the voice who spoke for him and froze after seeing the face of the owner for tor of the voice. He know who was that person.

An hour ago,

In front of the luxurious and elegant mansion that seemed to be crafted with diligence and hard work to make sure that the perfection remained.

On the outside of the main gate, a small girl, around 10 years old having black hair and black eyes stood in front of a carriage that had the symbol of an eagle face made of gold color or original gold.

The Little Girl was Lilliana D. Avarice, the daughter of Duke Avarice and the princess of the Avarice Dukedom.

Lilliana was standing in front of the gate with an impatient expression while continuously tapping her right foot. She seemed to be waiting for someone and behind the carriage were some guards on the horses with the spears in their hands. There were four guards but all of them had stoic expressions on their faces while looking straight.

Lilliana's gaze wandered at the gate on her right side with the same impatient expression and muttered, "Urghh...why are they late..."

She was wearing black gothic-style clothing with a hat on her head. The clothes were easy to tell that they were made of luxurious materials and done with fine and elegant work.

She was waiting because, after several days of constant pleading, she finally got permission to travel the Ardrith with some guards. She had been way too excited to travel out that she had been waiting for more than half an hour outside the mansion while waiting for the main people that had to travel with her.

The door of the mansion opened and an old man wearing butler clothing with silver hair walked out. The old man had his hair going backward and his build was robust, not too buffed up but it was easy to tell that this old man used to train and even train in old age. The Old man was around 1.78 meters while appearing to be in his fifties but walked with his back straight. There was no fault or problem in his posture.

And behind that Old man was a beautiful woman wearing maid clothing. She had beautiful blazing red hair, and her face seemed to be carved to perfection with square glasses on her eyes. She was around 1.74 meters while appearing to be in her twenties. There was a feeling of mysteriousness surrounding the woman.

A cute smile appeared on Lilliana's face as she waved her hands at the two of them and called them, "Uncle Sebastian! Aunt Evangeline!!"

Sebastian, the silver-haired old man nodded with a kind smile on his face, while a frown appeared on Evangeline, the red-haired woman's face hearing Lilliana calling her Aunt.
