“How can we escape from here?” asked Harkey.

  The mood around the area was quite dark; Usually, the men around Veris would be laughing and partying when they had a hostage, but this time it was different.

  Veris ordered his men to be serious and active until a certain person arrived.

  “I don’t know, but I have a hunch that Ken would help us escape,” Roger.

  “Why did they ask our names? Are we trapped according to their plan?” Harkey’s mind was firing with doubts.

  “Your son is doing well after his injury yesterday,” Harkey conveyed to Vittario’s parents.

  “He must be the one who suffered the most. It seems like we haven’t seen him for a long time,” His parents started crying.

  “He might come along with Ken, who knows?” Roger.

  “I should be there within one hour. I can’t wait to see him,” scarred man.

  The time was 8:25 am. The climate completely changed into an outburst of rain.

  But Veris was still outside alongside his men, waiting for him.

  15 minutes passed. They all hear a strange sound all of a sudden. It was the sound of the footsteps, but not of a human.

  A man ran towards Veris, screaming, “Horses infiltrated our area”.

  “What? Horses?” Veris couldn’t understand.

  12 Horses entered the area. The men around Veris were scared as they hadn’t seen something like this before.

  There came 10 horses in front of them. All had no one sitting on them.

  “Who did—” Veris saw 2 people riding the horses at the back.

  “Don’t get shocked by this, take a position to fire them all,” Veris shouted.

  All the men took their positions, but they were still frightened by the arrival of these horses.

  “Fire! Don’t let them survive!” Veris.

  “Survive this, I will feed whatever you guys need,” Vittario said with a laughing face.

  The horses began taking different routes as they ran randomly, and all the men were confused by what they saw.

  “He communicates with the horses—interesting,” Veris smirks.

  3 horses were shot while others were approaching them. Veris turned to his friend and commander in Kael.

  “Kael, Go have some fun,” Veris tapped the left shoulder of Kael.

  Kael unleashed his sword, “It’s been a long time since I slashed the horse”.

  He marched forward with pace, his eyes became fiery, and he jumped.

  He sliced the air with a heavy force while jumping, but with a blink of an eye, the horse was cut into 2 pieces.

  “Wait, he cuts only the air, then how—” Vittario was shocked just like everyone around him.

  “It will be selfish of me to sacrifice all these horses now,” Vittario thought.

  “Retreat all, go back to your places,” Vittario knows that the situation is a lot more complicated than he thought.

  The remaining horses followed his orders and went back.

  “It’s only we who can change the situation around,” said Vittario.

  “You take on that silver hair,” Galen meant Veris.

  “I guess I have to practice today after all,” he added.

  “Leaving everything to you, then,” Vittario went forward with his horse.

  “Wait here, I will be back quickly,” Galen stepped down.

  He clapped his hands thrice, saw what was around him, and started blinking his eyes.

  “Shoot them till they fall,” Veris ordered his men.

  Vittario dodges every bullet that is coming towards him. His horse seemed like a perfectly trained horse as it pierces forward with safety.

  “We will avenge Elise, let them know who we are,” Vittario said to his horse, Michele.

  Vittario had had this passion and love for his horses ever since his childhood.

  He used to spend his vacations with them during his childhood. He treats every horse as his friend and names them all.

  Michele is his best friend and his own horse, while Elise is one of his favorites, as she didn’t obey his orders at first, but later became one of the leaders of his horse’s crew.

  The moment that Elise was killed, Michele couldn’t stand steady, but knew that his master would avenge it. So, it got going only due to Vittario.

  “To reach him, you have to cross me,” Kael said as he stood in front of Vittario.

  “It’s the same for you,” Galen told while standing right of Vittario.

  Kael turned to his left and said, “Alright, I will give you my reward”.

  He takes out his sword, jumps, and cuts the air, but this time, the result is not the same.

  When he cuts the air, Galen takes a pose, crossing his hands, and when the blow was about to hit him, he swung his arms over, thus deflecting it.

  All this takes place within the blink of an eye.

  Both Kael and Vittario questioned their eyes, as they couldn’t believe what they had seen.

  Kael understood who he was facing and marched forward.

  Galen stood there waiting for him to come close.

  When he tried to swing his sword, he avoided it and caught it like it was nothing.

  With all his weight transferring to his left hand, he smashes Kael’s face.

  The motion from grabbing a sword to smashing the face seemed so smooth.

  The fight didn’t last over a minute.

  Vittario was shocked by his abilities. “I will take on the rest, go ahead,” Galen.

  “His hands are not fully recovered. I must finish this quickly to help him,” Galen thought as he ran forward towards the house.

  Veris stood there in anger as he waited for Vittario to reach him.

  Galen avoided all the bullets and started destroying all the men ahead of him.

  The rain started to intensify, and the ground began breaking due to Galen.

  “What is this noise outside?” Medrick.

  “They arrived, the time has come,” Roger stood up.

  He tears his ropes and helps others tear theirs.

  “I think my brother came here to save us,” Lorenzo told everyone.

  “No way, he is injured badly, but with his grit, everything is possible,” Harkey.

  “I will join them; you guys remain here and protect them.” Roger walked near the door.

  “You look pathetic. These arms won’t get you anywhere,” Veris referred to the wrapping of Vittario’s left hand.

  “Let’s see that,” Vittario walks forward.

  “You and your family will be gone within the next hour,” Veris laughs.

  Vittario’s eyes turned red as the image of Elise’s stubborn face showed up. His mind keeps loading him with memories of his childhood.

  “I am the reason for this situation. I don’t deserve anything,” he thought.

  He loaded all his pain and power behind his right hand, “Ahhhhh”.

  But Veris caught his hand and, “You are weak,” smashed him in the face.

  He started hitting him. “Your powers with horses were interesting, but you are no match for me,” he punches him on his cheek.

  Michele came forward towards him, but Veris dashes him.

  “Bang!!” A door came flying.

  “Whoa, it is raining,” Roger came out of the house.

  He stretched out his hands and saw the men in front of him. Veris’s men were terrified.

  “If you leave the way, I won’t even touch you,” he ordered.

  One man denied it and tried attacking him, but Roger caught his hands and threw him.

  No one moved as they paved the way. Both Veris and Galen saw this.

  Galen laughs out loud. Veris stopped hitting on Vittario and turned his focus on Roger.

  Roger took a sword that was lying there, “I didn’t know about your fighting skills”.

  “You cleaned almost everything. I will help you,” he added.

  He saw Vittario and ran towards him.

  “I will not let you escape,” Veris blocked his way.

  “It’s my line.”, “Divine sever!!!” The air got split apart by that blow.

  But it didn’t slice through Veris as he deflected with his sword.

  Then began a showdown between two master swordsmen that lasted for a while.

  “It’s been an hour, maybe we should join them,” Ken flipped a coin inside the car.
