Dawn...

There were three figures running across the farmlands in a haste towards the southwest direction.

They were none other than Mr. Sanchez, Drake and Kate.

”Halt.”, Mr. Sanchez and the two kids stopped.

-sou-

Suddenly, an arrow rain came for them.

”Damn it, they knew we were going to rescue Allen!”, Kate gritted her teeth in anger.

”This must be their main force. That means there's going to be an another team that will take Allen away! Go on, I'll take care of these bunch.”, Mr. Sanchez said.

Drake and Kate nodded and didn't waste more time and sprinted away while protecting themselves from the rain of arrows.

”These people probably already knew that Allen has the dagger. Damn it! I'm going to slaughter all of them for doing something like that to a kid.”, Mr. Sanchez didn't hide his fury and disappeared from his location in an instant.

At the same time, blood flowed in the farmlands.

However, Mr. Sanchez's conclusion was wrong, the people from that secret organization still didn't know that the treasure was inside Allen. As the treasure's aura couldn't be sensed by them due to their weak power.

Though, they still treat the kid as a bargaining chip in case the tavern owner and his disciples could escape their ambush.

The two kids dashed through the farmlands. They were currently using a treasure provided by Mr. Sanchez so that their running speed would be extremely fast or else if would've taken them half a day or whole to arrive on the farmlands.

-whoosh-

They exited out of the farmlands and saw hills from afar. In addition, they also saw about a hundred of armored barbarians from afar.

”Did they really bring a whole army just to block us?!”, Drake remarked.

”They think too highly of us.”, Kate added.

”I'll get them busy. With your flicker you can bypass them easily.”, Drake said.

”But shouldn't we rescue Allen together?”, Kate asked.

”No. You heard what master said, there might be an another team of enemies that would take Allen away. Go, rescue him, I'll try to catch up.”, Drake said.

”Alright.”, Kate didn't hesistate anymore and escaped the battlefield while Drake was taking care of the enemies.

The steel door of the underground room opened up and several black robed men entered the room and looked at the pitiful Allen.

Seeing the kid was still conscious, all them approached Allen and one of them asked, ”Where's the treasure?”

The one who asked was none other than the leader of the group who caught the kid.

Allen didn't answer and kept quiet.

The leader punched Allen in the face and asked again, ”Where's the treasure?”

Nevertheless, the kid still didn't answer.

”Knock this nuisance out and let's take him back to headquarters.”, the leader commanded.

”Aye.”, the black robed men responded.

”Nuisance? You're the nuisance.”, suddenly, Allen stated with a deep voice.

-whoosh-

The kid swiftly got out of the magical ropes that were binding him to the chair.

”Get him!”

-whoosh-

The black robed men charged towards Allen.

The enemies struck out with their weapons, but Allen swiftly dodge all of them.

The kid suddenly disarmed one of the men who was holding the dagger and used his own weapon against him.

-sou-

A head flew in a flash.

The other people were surprised, including the leader.
