Hik.

The surroundings immediately exploded getting this news.

Everyone became angry; they roared loudly.

"How can you do this? You are a Beast!"

"My baby girl....What did you do to HER!!!"

"We are going to kill YOU!!"

"Everyone, let's vanquish this evil bastard."

"Yes, GET YOUR WEAPONS!!"

The crowd became mad and lost their sanity. They just forget that the guy they were going to kill could murder any of them just as effortlessly as the last guy.

The fat man laughed instead, listening to their righteousness. "I alone, you guys can't take down. But I am not mood for worthless pests. I will let my boys do that."

Many people instantly arrived, surrounding everyone. People saw that these people had a nonchalant and ferocious look. They were holding many types of weapons.

People instantly knew what was happening.

"These guys are bandits. Did our village get raided by bandits?"

"Yes, it did. Now what we do?"

"We can do nothing. We don't know how to fight properly."

"But our daughters, wives, and women are getting snatched. We can't do anything!"

"What do you want to do? Get killed?"

"That..."

People were filled with fear. They didn't know what to do.

On the fat man's side, the man who is holding the woman who lost her husband came to him and said."Boss, is our job done?"

From his voice, everyone knew he was the leader of this bandit group.

The fat man said."Yes, we are done. Every item is ready to transfer, So let's leave this place."

With that, two carriages that had big cages on them came forward. Many young and underage girls could be seen in them. People got angry seeing that. They saw most of their daughter but couldn't do anything.

Enayet looked at them. He saw many familiar faces. In one of the cages, he saw his sister Mia. Enayet lost his mind; he was about to rush forward to save her when suddenly a hand grabbed his shoulder.

He looked behind him and saw it was Uncle Roger. He couldn't understand, he said stammering."Wh- why..why..?"

Roger said seriously. "Now is not the time." He looked at his surroundings and saw many people with anger accumulated to their limit. Anything can happen at any moment.

He sank into deep thought. 'Should I do it or not? or wait for them? but it will take a long time. Also, I feel something may happen. just wait for a little maybe.'

The fat man, seeing it was time to go, looked at everyone and warned. "I am telling you, pests. I do not want to see anyone reporting this to the kingdom. If you do, your village will disappear before they arrive."

The villagers lowered their heads with shame and fear. They were about to do something. Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the crowd.

The figure came in front of a carriage and started fighting the bandits that were guarding it. The bandits were about to ready themselves, but the figure came quick and knocked them out with neck chops, gut punches, and some uppercuts.

Roger was stunned. 'Who is this guy!? Why don't I know about it? There shouldn't be anyone in this village who has experience in fighting.'

The figure, after knocking out these guys in a few seconds, went to a cage and freed the girls in it. When he was about to open another one, the other bandits came. So he had to retreat.

After safely retreating with the girls he stopped, now people could see carefully who it is.

He had red hair, an average face, and a normal body structure. He was in his mid-20s. He also had a somewhat heroic presence.

Everyone felt that he was similar but couldn't remember. Someone suddenly said."Isn't that Hik?"

"Yes, it is."

"But how can he fight like? If I remember correctly, isn't he a kid who likes to stay away from all of us?"

"It is because of that thing." Someone whispered quietly from the side.

"Oh, but will he do something for us after that?"

"Of course he will. Because he is one of us."

.

Roger was shocked to learn that someone was like that in the village. But after hearing why he didn't see him, he became confused.

Enayet on the other hand didn't care any about this, he shouted."Big Brother!!! Save my sister, please."

Along with Enayet, many others also started asking for help.

Hik looked at everyone and spoke with a serious face. "Don't worry, I will save everyone."

He quickly rushed forward and started fighting them.

Every blow he did would knock someone out; he felt like an unstoppable force. Everyone also seems to see the hope of saving everyone.

On the bandit's side, the fat man said. "Everyone quickly retreat to the forest."

The bandits hurried into the forest. Hik couldn't stop them fully. So he also followed them.

Everyone also anxiously looked; they were worried if he could rescue everyone.

Roger was in deep thought. 'Should I follow them or not?'

But after seeing Mia's face flash before his eyes, he became determined. 'I will follow them and look for a chance if I can do something.'

He was about to say to Enayet that he would be leaving, but when he looked down, he couldn't find him. He looked around in panic but still couldn't find him.

He calmed down and started to think. 'Did he...'

Seeming to have thought of something, Roger rushed towards the retreating bandits.

.

.

In the forest, Enayet was running with heavy breaths, he was sweating profusely.

Enayet looked ahead. "Sister, wait. I am coming." After a while, he seemed to see black silhouettes. Light seems to be coming from there as well.

The closer he came, he found that instead of fighting noises, he heard laughter instead.

He sneakingly looked from a bush and saw the bandits seem sitting around bonfires, they also seem to be eating, and laughing without any worries. He saw the carriages that the girls are locked in; there were also some tents to the sides, and some noises seemed to come from them.

He went to see what was happening, and what he saw made him traumatized.

He seems to see young girls' shadows that looked like they were being forced by the bandits.

They were crying.

They were begging.

They were giving up.

Their soul seems to be...gone.

Enayet was horrified. He thought of something and looked at the carriages but couldn't find his sister. He went by all the tents. The constant crying, laughter, and begging made him more fearful of what he was expecting.

Finally, he came to a tent that had Mia's silhouette in it. He was about to rush when he heard the voice of a person he didn't expect of. It was Hik.

"Boss Joppa, This is the best good that I have been saving for you."
