"Get lost kid! If you don't want to die," Pointing his sword at Akiyo, who had some blood coming out of his hand, one of the men muttered with an angered tone.
"Let those girls go, you horny old men, I will kill every one of you, if you lay a single finger on them," Akiyo was clearly outnumbered but his face looked determined, just like his sowed which was ready to take the lives of the people that caused mayhem in his brother's kingdom.
[Reminder:- They are not actual siblings, Akiyo consider Velian as his real brother but they are not blood-related]
"What can you do kid? We have five people surrounding you, with your shabby armour and sword, you're just asking for it," The leader-like figure among the group quickly ordered his men to not leave a single piece of evidence of their work.
"Why are you doing something like this? Don't you have enough food and jobs with the new controlling structure?"
"Well, these two are paying for their husband's debt, he went and got himself killed in the battle so, now we want our money," Pointing at the two girls who were crying, which obviously looked like mother and daughter, he said with a disgusting look on his face.
"Still even if they are in debt, you have no right to sell them, or are you-" Akiyo felt disgusted to even think about what these men were trying to do it looking at the torn clothes of the mother and daughter, he knew they were trying to do something questionable to them.
He had only one question in his mind seeing them.

"I won't say this again, let them go and surrender yourself to authority,"
Everyone in the group laughed at his words and suddenly mood became serious, when Akiyo suddenly charge at one of the men and attacked him while jumping from his position with a quick motion.
The man who got hit by it was lucky enough to block it, but the pressure and the power of his attack sent him flying back with Akiyo landing gracefully looking at others.
"Come!"
Now they understood why this boy stood in front of them with a fearless look even though he was outnumbered.
"Looks like you're not just a boy with some kind of a heroic complex, well still you will die here," Everyone charged in at the same time leaving him, with no choice but to face everyone at the same time.
Without a second thought, Akiyo jumped into action. He charged at the men, his sword flying as he landed blow after blow. But there were too many of them, and they were too strong for him to handle all alone. Akiyo was quickly overwhelmed, but he refused to give up.
Things got too disadvantageous for him, as one of the blows from the enemy cashed his sword to drop from his hand.
The men laughed as they beat him after that, taunting him and calling him weak. But Akiyo knew he had to keep fighting. He couldn't let these men hurt the girls. He pushed himself harder, fueled by a deep sense of anger and determination and he thought what wouldVelian would do in a situation like this.
Despite the odds, Akiyo refused to back down. He fought with all his might, his body bruised and battered but his spirit unbroken. And finally, after what seemed like an eternity, all the men decided to finish things off without taking too long and decided to stab Akiyo, who was lying on the floor with a bruised look.
"That's enough teaching for him," But before they could wave their swords, suddenly they heard a voice behind them which startled them a little bit.
"Another kid? Damn it, we don't have time for this,"
In anger, they tried to attack in the same way that they used to beat up Akiyo, but none of them expected to see something which sent chills down their spine.
(Will of the True King)
Velian didn't hold back as he released his skill without holding back unlike last time targeting all five men.
"Ahhhhhhhh~ my body is burning," Shouting hysterically, the weakest man among the group started scratching his body like he went crazy until his body suddenly blew up sending his organs and blood everywhere.
He made sure to drop the two girls in a safe place because he didn't want to traumatise them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What was that?" The leader questioned as he kneeled feeling his legs not working, but when he tried to look at what was wrong, he saw nothing below his hips.
"Nooooo! Noooo! What is this? Who are you?" While crying in fear everyone started to question looking at Velian, who looked annoyed.
"Me? I'm his big brother, the boy you attacked just now, and you might know me as the little boy who attacked the previous royal family and became the new king," Getting close to them, he muttered as he blew them up one by one.
"All of you're weak, you're the only stormy one but still you're B rank, what a waste, but I don't need human trash in my new kingdom," Looking at the last person, who couldn't even talk because of how scared he was, Velian murdered and blew him up and quickly picked up the card, which looked like a business card of some sort of a company.
"Ohhh~ looks like I still have to clean up some things," He quickly put it in his pocket and went to see how Akiyo's doing, only to notice him looking at everything with fear.
"Akiyo, how are you? Did they beat you up a lot?" Getting close to him, Velian tried to treat him but Akiyo suddenly went back like he was scared of him.
"Ohhhh~ so you don't like this way of killing," Looking at the mess he made, Velian questioned.
"You will see even more cruel things when you're fighting a real war, don't be afraid get used to it," He quickly caught his hand without letting him escape.
"If you didn't kill them, they would destroy the lives of those two innocent girls, these trash don't deserve to live, you and I did the right thing," Velian didn't let him avert his eyes from the bloody mess because he knew if he did that right now when he's in real battle things wouldn't be pretty for him.
"Come let's see what's happening,"
