Chapter 245 - Return To Ishgar {23} How To Save A Life [2] (1/2)

”Is that girl our next member?” Touka asked and observed the small child.

”Yes, and it appears that she met some friends.” Their voices drew the girls attention and she looked over at them in fear and hatred.

”What do you people want with me? I just wanna live peacefully here in my home!” She said.

”How mistaken you are. We are not with them. We are just here to talk to you, would you please stay and listen to what we have to say?” Amell's voice was calm, but the girl didn't have time to react to him as a group of people appeared behind them. Their group was made up of one adult male and the rest of them were children, and some of them looked to be in their early teen years.

”The girl belongs to me!” A man with strange tattoos on his face said.

”Oh? Do you?” Amell turned to the girl in question.

”Of course not! He is trying to kill me!”

”Don't you hate it when that happens. I feel for you, what monster would do something like that?” Beside him, Touka lost her cool and she flew up in rage. ”Who? WHO? YOU, YOU WOULD DO THAT!” She yelled and her magic power was released.

”What power! Who are you, girl?” The strange tattooed man asked Touka.

”His possession. Not by my own choice!” She said and pointed at Amell. He reacted strongly and hit her lightly on the head. ”Don't say it like that. Saying it like that makes it sound a lot more perverted than it is.”

”When you go to prison for kidnapping, I'll make sure everyone knows what you do to the kids you take away forcefully.” Touka was still very angry so she didn't care about what she was saying.

”Everyone, let's calm down! I just came here to save a life. You can leave now, I got this under control.” Amell said to the tattooed man. As imagined, he didn't take kindly to that. ”I will kill you, weakling!” He said loudly and raised the skull staff he had in hand.

”I said Leave!” Amell waved his hand and the man, together with his group got swallowed by a shadow and disappeared.

”WHAT DID YOU DO?!” The girl freaked out and yelled while pointing at the spot where the giant shadow had risen and swallowed the group that assaulted her.

”I sent them across the continent. It will take them a month to get here with a horse, so forget about them now.” Amell turned his attention to her. ”Briar, that is your name, no?”

”That's right! What do you want, kidnapper?” Briar asked. Amell smacked his forehead and sighed. ”Do not listen to this troublemaker here, she is just a little moody. I am not a kidnapper of any kind. I came with an offer, and you can refuse if you want.”
