“Leave him, Vittario,” Andrew told him.

  “He beat Ken—” Vittario argued.

  “Yes, he beat Ken, you hit him well, that’s enough,” Andrew said.

  “We need to treat Ken quickly,” he added.

  Vittario put Tapio down even though his anger hadn’t decreased.

  “How do you know we are here?” Andrew asked.

  “Harkey called me and told me about your plan and asked me to come here to help you guys,” Vittario told Andrew.

  “Sorry for coming late,” he apologised.

  “No, thanks for coming here, without you, both of us would be killed,” Andrew thanked him.

  Then, they carried Ken and walked their way out.

  “They will be here soon,” Andrew told him.

  “Why did these guys attack him?” Vittario asked.

  “Should I tell him about the village?” Andrew was confused about whether to reveal it or not.

  After a second of thought,

  He explained the situation and what happened in the village to Vittario.

  Vittario couldn’t believe it. He then asked a few questions to Andrew about the village, and Andrew replied to him.

  Vittario called his 3 horses towards him, and both sat on 2 horses; Vittario lied Ken lay on the third horse.

  “He will fall,” Andrew told him after seeing Ken on the horse.

  “No, I told the horse,” Vittario replied.

  They left the place at 10:27 am.

  On their way after 7 minutes,

  They saw Galen and the knight.

  Everyone, including Galen and Harkey, was shocked to see Ken and asked about the incident.

  “Galen, take Ken to the hospital and treat him,” Andrew told him.

  “Vittario, thanks for your help. I would reach out to you after this,” he muttered.

  He explained about the battles and what happened there to both the knight and Harkey. He also showed the way to that place.

  Alcidor saw all 30 men lying on the ground and asked his guards to take them with him.

  “I think he is their leader,” Andrew showed Rheos.

  If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  “So, he is the one—” Alcidor began speaking.

  “No, he is the leader for this one; we still don’t know the man behind all this,” Andrew told the knight.

  “We will put them in prison and interrogate them,” Alcidor replied.

  Everyone in there left the place at 10:45 am.

  Veris and his men arrived at the place at 11:00 am.

  All they could see was the broken ground with blood splashes.

  Veris was frustrated, unhappy about arriving late.

  “I am late; they would put them in prison,” he muttered.

  He took out his phone and explained the situation to the scarred man. The scarred man felt frustrated as well.

  “I will tell this to him, let’s see what he decides,” the scarred man told Veris and hung up the call.

  “If only I arrived early,” Veris couldn’t control his anger.

  They left the place after 5 minutes.

  On the other side,

  Ken’s health condition was worse as the doctors in there were not giving any conclusion about his health to Galen.

  Ken’s parents arrived there at 11:12 am.

  His mother couldn’t hold back her tears when she saw him from the outside.

  Galen tried explaining to them, but

  “He won’t accompany you hereafter,” Ken’s father told Galen.

  “What he got from you is enough,” he added, controlling his anger.

  Andrew and Harkey arrived there after some minutes. Both apologised to Ken’s parents.

  “I told him, I will say to you also, Ken won’t accompany you hereafter,” Ken’s father told them.

  “It’s my fault, I am the one to be blamed,” Andrew apologised.

  They didn’t speak when they were there, as all waited for the words of the doctor.

  “Andrew, you are also injured—” Harkey spoke.

  “No, I don’t deserve to get treated,” Andrew replied.

  Ken’s father pulled Andrew’s shirt and took him to treat his injuries.

  “Whatever done, I knew you done your best to save him, but as his parents, do you know how much we feel for him?” he told Andrew.

  “I am not accusing you, but—” he spoke.

  “Sorry, I promise I won’t let Ken get hurt hereafter,” Andrew promised.

  Then Andrew received treatment in the same hospital.

  2 days later,

  Lucera came there at 5:00 pm. Ken’s health condition had improved significantly from the previous days, despite the extensive treatment still to be done.

  “Why didn’t you inform me sooner? How is he now?” she started firing questions at Andrew.

  “Wait… Don’t panic, he is much better now. I thought about telling you that day, but then I realised it’s better to tell you after some days,” Andrew explained.

  “Are you fine? Your injuries are also bad,” she asked.

  “I am fine, Ken is the one who got hurt badly. I am sorry for not saving him earlier,” he told her.

  “No, I know you tried your best. Without you, it might be even worse,” she replied.

  Their conversation went for another 3 minutes,

  “I forgot to tell you about this, the guy who beat Harkey, what his name is—” she tried recalling.

  “Medrick, what happened to him?” Andrew asked.

  “Yes, Medrick, he was taken to prison the other day, it even came on the news,” she revealed.

  “Prison? But why?” Andrew asked, confused.

  “Apparently, he tried to kill 4 people from Calydria,” she explained.

  “No, no… he is not that kind of person,” Andrew couldn’t believe it.

  “Yes, he tried; the guards caught him with the help of Clutch Crafter,” she explained briefly.

  “Who is this Clutch Crafter? Why did Medrick try to kill?” Andrew’s mind couldn’t help but ask questions.

  “This is not big; the crazy thing is the words he shouted after getting caught,” she said.

  “Ken, Roger, save me, I need to reveal the truth,” were the words he last spoke, she revealed.

  “Truth?” Andrew said, more confused.

  “I don’t know, but I still don’t believe him, leave him as is, I told you, because he might have helped you in some ways,” she muttered.

  “Lucera, he won’t kill anyone. I have trust in him,” Andrew said.

  “I will speak to the knight about this,” he added.

  Meanwhile,

  Somewhere in Soltheris,

  “Monitor him, also send some of our men near the prison, when he raids there, we would also make our raid, and release our men,” one in Soltheris ordered the scarred man.

  “Ok, I will send, thank you, supreme,” the scarred man replied.

  “If time goes our way, I will be there to release our men,” One in Soltheris told the scarred man and hung up.

  1 month passed,

  Ken returned home having almost recovered from his blows.

  “Sorry for making you worry,” he apologised to his parents as soon as he entered the house.

  He took a rest until evening. He spoke to Lucera in the evening and fell asleep early.

  The next day,

  He took a rest the whole day, and in the evening, he called Andrew.

  Andrew spoke with him casually for about 5 minutes and then revealed the news about Medrick.

  “He tried killing? The truth?” Ken’s mind felt heavy hearing it.

  “I don’t think he will kill anyone, but how?” he gave his opinion.

  “I will go save him,” Andrew told him.
