A bet

          The head guard was thinking of every possible way for him to get himself out of the situation, after a short seconds of thinking, an idea finally pop up in his head.

"Sir, it's an intruder and he's looking for someone named Bethany, I inform him that there's no one like that in here, but he demanded on searching, which I couldn't allow" said the head guard pointing at Savarus.

"All of you out of the way, so I can see the people who has the right to badge into the dolfant clan. The moment the leader said this words, everybody started clearing space and pointing at Savarus. 

"Are you trying to tell me, all this was done by just one person" said the leader. Nobody was able to reply because they were all ashamed, the leader took their silence as yes "who are you and what's your reason for intruding" asked the leader to Savarus.

"I don't think my name is worth knowing, the only thing I want from you is to free up the woman you are holding captive".

"Aren't you an interesting fellow, why do you think any one of my people would abduct a woman, we aren't that primitive".

"If you say so, then let me check for myself and I will leave if she is not here".

"So you really think you will just leave after all the rukus you have made, I'm not someone who looks for trouble, so let's do it this way, if you are right about your claims, then you are free to go, but if you are wrong then you will have a spar with me, the one who comes out victorious will demand anything from the other even his death" said the leader.

This statement produces lots of gaps from the people, a fight to the death isn't something that was uncommon, but it was just too bizzare.

"I can see you clearly are confident on your skill but I don't want you to bet your life carelessly, life is a sweet thing, so no matter what it is, don't give up on life" said Savarus.  

"Hahahaha, a young man giving an elderly a sermon, I have seen things in life that you haven't, so don't think much about it, one more thing, I won't kill you if you lose so don't be afraid".

"We won't be having any spar because she is clearly here".

"You are free to check, go on" said the leader. 

Savarus didn't waste anytime before he started walking to the direction of the fifth room.

'I'm definitely dead, why did I even listen to the young master word, I shouldn't have helped him at all, maybe I should pretend like I don't know anything about it' the head guard was sweating bucket where he stood.

Savarus have gotten to the front of the door, he didn't even wait for a moment so they can open the door with a key, he just barge into it with force causing the door to fall to the other side.

The moment Savarus open the door, the scene that greeted him was so absurd. A man was trying to force his way on Bethany, her mouth was tied and so was her hands and legs, she couldn't cry for help, but she keep on struggling and pushing the man away from her, as Savarus saw this scene he was so furious that he didn't even know when he rush towards them in a flash and fling the man off her.

"What is the meaning of this, do you know who I am, how do you even get inside here" shouted the man.

Before he could get a reply, the leader of the clan have already given him a hard punch on his face.

"You ingrate, after all the teaching I have given you, this is how you want to live your life, always bringing shame to this clan, I will make sure you and your peasant mother leaves the house for good, disgraceful son".

"Please father, forgive me this time around, it won't happen ever again, please I'm begging you" said the man begging on his knees.

"You know I never go back on my word, so get ready to leave this house with that your bitch of a mother".

"Father please, have mercy on me" he keep on pleading thinking that his father will forgive him, but what came next was a kick to his head.

"Bethany it's me, so please calm down" said Savarus to Bethany, who was currently thrashing anything that come close to her, the situation has traumatized her to the extent she couldn't hear anything from anyone. After few minutes of coaxing from Savarus, she finally came to her senses.

"Savarus it's you" said Bethany while hugging Savarus tightly without giving him any space to breathe "Please get me out of here, I want to go home".

Savarus was very angry with all of them and also with himself for disappointing her.

'If only I didn't hold back the time we were on the forest, this wouldn't have happened at all, I should have just kill all of them without sympathy, all through my life I haven't been so disappointed on myself than now'. 

Savarus quickly untied her and pick her up, she wasn't able to walk because she was hugging him tightly and won't let go, it pains Savarus to see her like this, being scare like a cat drench in water. He kept on walking forward with heavy step.

"I know this wouldn't change anything, but I'm really sorry for what my son did, you can do anything you want with him, I won't mind at all" said the leader of the dolfant clan.

"Father please, you can't just give out my life to a stranger, I'm your own flesh and blood, please don't turn your back at me, I promise I will change" pleaded his son.

"You have always been a shame to this family, your younger brother way better than you in everything, so I don't see any reason in keeping you".

Savarus stop walking and turn to look at the son of the leader who was currently pleading.
