Reincarnation Skill System: Idris Beaufort's Revenge

Ch 005

Unable to move from his place, Idris felt severe and unexplainable pain in his hand and legs. With his head a mess and his memory in chaos, he could hear some noises when his eyes were closed. He slightly moved on his place and the voices that were distant became audible.

"We were just going to kidnap that woman and then sell her to the foreign merchant to get some money but look at what we got." One of the guys stared at Idris hatefully and let out a sigh of frustration as he continued, "If only that guy didn't meddle in, we could have done our job perfectly but now, it's all ruined because of that brat."

Idris couldn't understand what situation he was in, and far more it didn't give him any good feelings either. 'I was wrong, those guys were actually their group members. Looks like they took us here by kidnapping… '

"What should we do now? Should we kill him?" Another guy asked.

'Are they going to kill me? Wait, where is Adam? And also that woman whom we tried to rescue...'

"Nah, wait for our leader's command first. Let's see what he says, we will do as he orders us to do."

"Then should we just let them stay here?"

"For now, what else can we do? And they are still unconscious so let's leave them be."

Idris waited for them to leave first. As the leisurely footsteps vanished into the far distant, he opened his eyes. Looking around, Idris was staggered, the place seemed like an abandoned building.

'Where is this? Did they perhaps... took us somewhere far? Shit! It looks like that to me.'

"Adam, wake up." As soon as he noticed Adam, he called out. Adam was seated next to him, still unconscious. Idris then looked at the woman they rescued earlier and sadly, she was unconscious as well, her situation was not better than theirs either.

"It's... Her." He uttered, this time he noticed her graceful facial features. The woman had long jade black hair, her clothes were not giving any noble-like vibe but they were neat and looked decent, as far as he remembered she had hazel eyes. She was a beautiful woman, Idris wondered what she was doing in that place all alone.

Busy to check the surroundings he didn't notice what position he was in. Feeling the sudden pain in his hand as Idris looked behind he felt his blood boiling. Those bad guys tied his hand with something behind so he could barely move.

'Damn! Those bastards!'

"Adam, wake up." He called out again though Adam seemed so sleepy that his calls didn't reach him. After some time, Adam finally opened his eyes. The moment he saw Idris he cried out like a child, "My Lord, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, I'm ok. How about you?"

"Me? I'm fine. Thank you Lord, you are fine."

"Save it for later. Right now, we have to do something so we can run away from here." Looking around for a way out, Idris asserted so.

Adam tried moving but then he found his hands were tied as well.

"By the way, how did we end up here?" Idris asked.

And Adam answered in a serious tone of voice, "After you fainted, they surrounded us with more people. Then they threw something smoky in the air, I couldn't keep my consciousness nor could we run in that situation. I guess they have taken us here after we fell unconscious so here we are."

'Knock down gas?'

"I'm sorry, you are stuck here because of me."

"Don't say that my lord. I'm here because I am willing, I'll do everything I can to keep you safe and protected."

Hearing him and seeing how determined and true he seemed, Idris couldn't help but smile. In his life, it had been long since he met someone sincere. Adam somehow reminded him of Cathy who was exactly like Adam, ready to protect him in any situation without worrying about himself and knew how to cheer Idris.

The unfortunate death of Cathy suddenly clouded his mind.

"My lord, you are really smiling. You are happy." Adam looked at him with bright eyes.

"Sorry, I couldn't help... Anyway, call the woman up first. We don't know when the bad guys will be back. Before they come back, we need to run away."

"My Lord, are you not scared?" Adam thought at his age Idris would be scared but there he was… Hearing his question, Idris looked at himself. Right he forgot that to them, he was merely a young boy who had never been out of the palace before. Taking a deep breath and chuckling, Idris voiced, "Why would I be? Since... I have you."

Adam looked at him with twinkling eyes, "Thank you, my lord. It means everything to me."

Adam tried waking the woman up when she was sitting at some close distance. As the woman finally woke up, she stared at Idris. Her almond shaped hazel eyes were all curious and also thankful. She seemed innocent and grateful to him.

"Thank you for helping me." She added politely.

"No problem."

"But who are... you? That alley is always dark and desolate, even screaming none would help." The woman voiced.

Adam was about to tell her his real identity but suddenly Idris warned them both to stop talking.

"Someone is coming. Play unconscious and grab whatever you can to untie your hands if possible." Idris ordered and with a nod, all of them pretended to sleep.

In a moment, one of the guys said to the other guy, "Keep the woman alive, we will go with our initial plan."

"What about the other two boys? They are not so bad, if they were quiet I would keep them alive but they are quite rebellious."

The leader looked at them arrogantly and ordered coldly, "Kill them. Then throw their bodies in the river."

As one of the guys walked towards them, Idris tried untying his hands. When they left, he already found a broken piece of glass that could help him in cutting the ropes. Idris managed to cut his ties from behind and he tossed it towards Adam without anyone noticing.

The moment the guy touched him, Idris looked at him spitefully.

"Oh, you are awake. We don't have to play then. We can just kill you guys without any extra hassle."

"Who are you guys? What do you want from us?" Idris asked.

"We? We want to kill you boys." The bad guys laughed.

"Kill? What did we do? Why do you want to kill us?"

"Gosh, he talks too much. Shut his mouth!" The leader ordered. Idris looked at the guys, they looked way stronger than them.

'We are only three people when they are more than eight. Even if Adam was to fight them, we most likely will get defeated and more hurt. But we can't just keep sitting here.'

Idris stared at the guys side-eyedly then at Adam. Seeing he was yet to be done with his ties, Idris begged, "Please don't hurt us. We will not tell the imperial guards about this, please let us go."

"Let you go? Haha, how funny! Were you not the one who claimed that you called the security forces in the town? How can we let you go then?"

With that saying, the guy suddenly raised his hand to slap him and suddenly Adam hit the guy. "Dare hurt him, you get this."

"End him quickly!"

Adam hit another two guys who ran towards them. But the guys were much stronger, one of them pinched Adam against the wall while grabbing his neck. Due to already losing a lot of energy, Adam was quite weak now and the guys didn't show any mercy when they beat him even after he fainted a while ago.

"Let him go!" As the woman started hitting him so he would let Adam down, they pushed the woman away roughly.

Adam struggled to breath, seeing he was nearing his end Idris suddenly threw sand in the guy's eyes and he put Adam down hastily.

"My lord." Adam screamed out while trying to run towards him.

"Oh Lord? Guess he is some prince." One of them commented as they focused on Idris.

"Nah, look at his clothes. He doesn't look like one, maybe he is some baron's son?"

"Ahh, baron's son huh!"

'Shit! What did I do!' Before Adam could go to Idris, they took him by their side.

"Let the children go! Coward men!" The woman stood before Idris to protect him. Idris tried but couldn't get up due to his weak body. Though it felt strange that the wound on his stomach seemed to vanish yet he could feel the pain there slowly healing on its own. The guys were now approaching the woman.

"Damn you! Don't touch her, fight with me if you are a man!" Idris screamed angrily.

"A man! Sure, why not." The bad guys walked towards Idris. As he inched closer, suddenly Idris did the unthinkable. He kicked on his balls as hard as he could and then cried out loudly, "Run guys!"

For a moment they managed to run but then they were surrounded by the guys. They were now eleven against three. Idris looked at the two and gulped while looking at the bad guys with fury.

The moment they were about to hurt them, someone hit one of them and they were tossed in the far distance with much pain in their abdomen.

And the woman cried out loudly, "Honey."

"Honey?" Both Idris and Adam stared at her with shock. The woman smiled and told the two, "Don't worry, my husband is here. He will beat their ass in no time. We should just leave it in his hands."

Like the woman said, her husband really took care of everything with the help of Adam. As the man was done kicking their ass, the woman ran to his arms.

"Why did you leave the house? I looked for you everywhere but couldn't find you." The man said, checking to see if his wife was hurt.

"I'm so sorry, honey. I got lost on my way home.. By the way, meet these two boys. They saved me today."

The man looked strong as he looked at the two boys from their head to toe. With an appreciative smile the man voiced, "Greetings, young men. I am Reiki."

'Reiki?'
