A crashing sound rang out. We turned around in surprise. Not only us, all the diners sitting at the outdoor tables turned their eyes towards that direction.
“If you want to sell here, do you have to pay rent?”
“Do you have to be burned by hot fire to know what pain is?”
Several big, ferocious men were threatening the shop owner. A guy threw the items on the counter to the ground, and another loud crashing sound rang out.
Nearby customers quickly stood up and backed away. The shop owner's face was now distorted, trying to convince them.
“Oh, please don't do that.”
“So, if you want to trade, you must obediently pay tribute!”
Having said that, a guy reached into the shop owner's money box. Immediately, the innkeeper clutched the box desperately.
“If you guys do that, how will we survive!”
Such vile scoundrels exist everywhere in the world. Evil people only know how to exploit others.
What should I do? While I was still wondering, Sure enough, Cesar who was sitting quietly suddenly raised his head.
I have long thought that Cesar is especially sensitive to other people's malice. That is, their aggressive attitude stimulated him.
Just now, no matter how crowded there were, he was fine, no problem, but it seemed like he couldn't stand this kind of malice.
One hour
poof, poof
The dry sound came from the wooden table where Cesar placed his hands, and his fingers gradually dug deep into the table surface. Under Cesar's terrifying power, the tabletop gradually turned into sawdust.
“Ce, Cesar.”
Before he could stop himself, he stood up, panting.
“Grrrr……”
He let out another warning hiss from his throat, that threatening sound attracting everyone's attention.
What if Cesar breaks out and causes trouble here again like last time? Of course, there is a way. Give him blood to drink.
But in a crowded place like this, under so many eyes watching, that is impossible. Can I stop him?
The other thugs also noticed the unusual aura from this side.
"Who else is this guy? We're working, do you have any ideas?"
“Cesar, don't!”
I quickly jumped up to block in front of him. What happened to the Knights could be resolved peacefully because it took place in the Royal Palace.
But they were clearly civilians. If the Imperial Prince directly used violence against such people, there is no telling what rumors would spread.
“What is this?”
A man rudely grabbed my wrist as I stood between them.
"Hey, isn't she pretty? Can you play with us for a while?"
Delfina stood up, screaming in panic.
"Disrespectful! How dare you act rude!"
I didn't care about pulling my hand away from the guy holding me but turned my head to look at Cesar's movements.
And, Cesar's eyes were covered with murderous intent. I understand that look clearly. He was on the brink of an outbreak, with clear murderous intentions. If this continues, something big will definitely happen like last time.
“Why does this dog keep growling like an animal?”
Before the man could reach Cesar, he moved quickly. Everything happened so suddenly that even I had a hard time realizing what was going on.
“Ah!”
The man just grabbed my wrist and fell to the floor, clutching his right hand. Thanks to that, I was freed, but the other guy lay on the ground, bleeding.
“Whoa! What is this!”
Another man came over to check the wound. It was a sharp cut, like a knife. Their expressions simultaneously turned fierce.
“Is this bastard carrying a weapon?”
“Grrrr……”
In the still threatening atmosphere, this time, the men pulled out weapons from their belts. The sharp sound of metal rubbing, along with the sharp, blinding light, sent chills down my spine.
The situation has now worsened, reaching the worst situation. What should I do to calm Cesar down now? How to do this?
I broke into a cold sweat, not knowing what to do. What to do if someone is seriously injured, or even dies?
Just focusing on that situation, I didn't notice that Bernadetta had stood up.
“Why are there such bad people!”
In the midst of a tense situation, Bernadetta's young voice rang out clearly.
The girl acts quickly as her nickname suggests. That's right, with quick and gentle movements like a rabbit.
“Those guys!”
The girl called out to the gangsters who were confronting Cesar.
"Who is this little girl again? Can't you see you guys are working?"
"Bernadetta! What are you doing!"
I quickly called the girl's name. But the situation happened faster than I thought.
“Eh, eh? Ah!”
It started without warning. Suddenly, the man in front of him floated in mid-air.
“What… is this?”
Suddenly the man flew up, the guy next to him tried to grab his leg and pull him to the ground. But this time, that guy also floated to the side.
“Eh, eh?”
The second man who flew up was equally startled. The sight of him struggling in mid-air, not knowing what to do, looked ridiculous, like he was swimming in no water.
Seeing that scene, Cesar revealed his fangs and threatened even more. But this time, Cesar's own body also flew up.
“Grrr, purr…?”
Cesar was equally confused. Of course, he was surprised when his body was suddenly lifted into the air.
But the person who seemed most surprised was Bernadetta.
“Ah, no, I just…”
The girl looked back and forth between her hands, then looked at me with a confused expression.
This time, another man flew up. The problem is this guy got up pretty high.
"Ah Ah Ah! Help me!"
The man's screams gradually faded away. He screamed for a while then fell silent, seemingly fainted.
“Cool, what is this!”
But the story doesn't stop there. Cái bàn chúng tôi đang ngồi, ghế gỗ, bảng hiệu quầy hàng, chủ quầy đang ôm hộp tiền, mọi thứ xung quanh cô bé đều dần dần bay lơ lửng lên không trung.
The scene was chaotic. Those who were lifted screamed or struggled to keep their dresses from flying away.
“Save lives!”
“What is going on!”
Everyone was frightened by this strange phenomenon that suddenly occurred and stepped back. Screams, running around and the sound of objects breaking rang out.
"Bernadetta! Stop it!"
But Bernadetta just looked at her palm and whimpered.
"I, I don't know anything! What's going on!"
That was the moment I worried that a major accident might happen.
A shrill whistle sounded. The sound was so strong that my ears felt instantly numb.
The siren caused those who were backing up to suddenly stop.
The siren continued to echo. Someone shouted.
“Officer, Sheriff!”
Cảnh sát trưởng, lực lượng chịu trách nhiệm về an ninh thành phố và cũng là nỗi sợ hãi của thường dân, đã xuất hiện.
And among the police chiefs, an extremely familiar person caught my eye.
“……Richard?”
He approached us with an extremely annoyed look on his face. More precisely, his steps were towards Bernadetta.
“What, what to do now, I don't know why this is happening at all!”
The girl's tears fell in streams. Richard stood next to the girl and spoke softly.
“Control your power again.”
“Yes, what did you say?”
“Strength……”
Richard finished speaking, angrily brushed his long hair back, then immediately hugged the back of Bernadetta's neck with his hand. Immediately, her body went limp like a doll with its strings broken.
“Bernadetta!”
“Just fainted.”
But I couldn't accept this situation, so I looked at Richard.
“How does Richard know how to get here?”
“Một lượng Ma lực khổng lồ đang bùng phát, làm sao có thể không cảm nhận được. Bất kỳ pháp sư nào ở gần đây đều sẽ cảm nhận được luồng khí này.”
“So, so Bernadetta used magic?”
“If this situation isn't magic then what is it?”
He pointed at the men floating in mid-air. Naturally, this strange situation can only be explained by magic.
“So I came to stop.”
“Ah.”
Richard waved his long sleeve and pulled out a long staff. It has the shape of being braided from large tree roots, with a few leaves at the tip. Although I wondered how such a long staff could be hidden in a sleeve, I didn't have time to ask.
When he swung the staff, the men flew into the sky and landed on the ground one after another.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
They writhed on the floor, unable to accept the horrifying situation that had just occurred.
