Following the little dog girl, five human males also appeared. They surrounded Rein and his group from all sides and even took out their weapons. A man who looked like their leader then shouted -
"Hey, hand that girl over to us and come with us to our base for a search. If you value your life quickly sit down on your knees while holding your hands up."
When the people of the market saw these men, they immediately ran away. All of them were wearing a badge with an engraving of an open mouthed wolf.
Many cities had underground organisations who were in charge of the dark side of the city.
Most of the city had several such organisations fighting each other for supremacy, but in few rare cases, one of the organisations would be able to emerge victorious and would be able to control the underworld of a city completely.
Hetharna was such a rare case. A gang named "Night Wolf Gang" suddenly appeared 12 years ago and was able to completely take the underworld of the city under their control in just 7 years. So for the last 5 years, no one had the ability or the guts to go against them.
Those five men who attacked Rein and his group were from this same gang. So everyone tried their best to avoid them. The people of this gang were said to be ruthless so everyone was very scared of them.
But obviously that was not the case for Rein and his group. Tasha acted like she did not even notice the weapon wielding man and sat down in front of the scared little girl and asked her in a soft voice -
"Calm down. You have nothing to fear anymore. Just tell this big sister what happened to you. We all will help you."
Hearing that the little girls fearfully looked at Rein and Stella. In response Rein gave her a gentle, assuring smile and even Stella tried her best to put on a smile on her cold face. This somehow relieved the girl. But just as she was going to speak, the leader like man shouted again -
"How dare you all ignore me. Boys, give them hell."
Four of those underlings immediately moved with their weapons. The little girl closed her eyes in fear. But she did not hear any sound even after quite some time had passed and she slowly opened her eyes. The scene that she saw stunned her.
All five of the men were lying on the ground fainted. As the little girl was wondering if she was in some kind of a dream or not Tasha spoke up once again -
"Little girl, don't worry. As I said you have no need to fear anything anymore. Just tell us your circumstances. How about you start with telling us your name ?"
The man at the very front was wearing an expensive looking dress. He had the behaviour of a person who was used to giving orders. Behind him stood a tough looking man with a scar on his left eye and another man wearing very impressive gear. He also had a ferocious smile on his face.
The man with the expensive dress was the first to speak up -
"I'm viscount Abil Denclobe. How dare you all commoners still stand before me. Kneel down."
Obviously no one paid him any attention. Rein was still busy properly healing everyone without leaving behind any hidden wounds and Stella and Tasha were busy gathering all the captured people in one place.
Seeing that these lowly commoners and beasts were ignoring him, viscount Abil's face turned red and shouted -
"Impudent trash, how dare you ? Jake, Kyle teach them a lesson."
Hearing his order the man with a scar and the man with a ferocious smile came forward. Viscount Abil spoke from behind with a smug smile -
"Haha, Jake is the leader of Night Wolf Gang and has strength equivalent to a high gold rank. And Kyle is a platinum rank adventurer. Hehe. I will not kill you all easily.
First I will torture you properly to teach you that you should not disrespect a noble and only after learning that lession I will send you to afterli.."
But before he could finish his words, Rein who had just completed perfectly healing over a seventy beastkins turned around and attacked those two men bare handed. And even before they could react, the man with a scar whose name was Jake died. His head exploded like a watermelon.
And as Rein held back a bit, Kyle did not die but he flew to the wall and lost consciousness.
Seeing this unbelievable scene, Viscount Abil fell to the ground and peed his pants. Rein gave him a look as if he was looking at a gross insect and used a lightning magic spell to make his unconscious from afar. He was too disgusted to even touch him.
Rein then used the same magic on other small fries present here just with a bit more intensity and all of them died. He kept the viscount and the platinum ranker alive only to ask them questions. He had no reason to keep these other criminals alive.
Then he looked back at the audience present there who were all looking at him with worship.
