Mia was entering the house, and she heard Draco’s cries. She quickly rushed in, only to be shocked to see Bertha using a stick to beat Draco’s butt. Draco was crying and jumping in pain.

“Aunt, what are you doing!” Mia shouted and ran over. “How can you beat a child like that?” She tried to take the stick away from Bertha.

“You don’t know what he did. He bought some kind of gaming set that’s worth a thousand dollars, and he told us his friend bought it for him,” Bertha growled. “I called his friend’s home, and their parents told me that they didn’t pay for Draco’s gaming set. So, I bet his ass again, and then he spit out the truth.”

“He stole money from the neighbor’s house,” William added.

Mia was startled. “Which neighbor?”

“Who else? Gabe,” William snorted.

Mia was somewhat relieved to hear that, as it would have been more troublesome if it was the other neighbors, who probably wouldn’t keep their mouths shut. Because Bertha was not letting her take the stick, she stood between Ber

    It was a gentle bite, but it sent a strong surge of electricity through Mia’s whole body.Her startled reaction made him move his head back. “D-Did it hurt? I didn’t mean it. You can bite my ear if you want.”Mia didn’t say anything, but her heart was still racing.Gabe blew air onto her ear, on the bitten spot. It tickled her and made her feel excited even more.She could tell that Gabe was trying to help, but his actions weren’t exactly helpful.She was in a tough spot. She wanted to give him something in return, but they were in public, so she held herself.It wasn’t easy, but she was able to keep her feelings in check.Eventually, they dropped the clients at the destination and unloaded the boxes full of jewelry and gold coins.In return, they were paid 100 gold coins, which was quite an enormous amount, considering that the average income of the people in these areas was about sixty silver pieces.One gold coin was worth 100 silver coins, and one silver coin was worth 100 copper

    “It’s robbers! Take positions!” the guard captain roared.The guards with the spears were the first ones to rush toward the incoming robbers who outnumbered them.“Bouncing Shot!” the guards thrust the spear in a way it struck the robbers on the sides and threw them off balance, and their momentum was disrupted.Some robbers, however, managed to slip past the spears, but they were intercepted by the guards who relied on swords.The guards using daggers purely focused on defending the card, which was carrying two important people as well as precious goods.“How dare you try to attack the Metalwright merchant group!” The guard captain unleashed a form of brownish energy through his sword and cut down the robbers.However, a couple of robbers stopped the guard captain in his tracks and even pushed him back with a combination attack.“Y-You are… Desert Twins!” the guard captain and others were shocked. “You should be in the Forgotten Dunes! What are you guys doing here?”The twin brothers

    Gabe and Mia crossed a massive area full of towering redwood trees. They saw big bears, fire-breathing salamanders, huge elks that were busy sharpening their horns, and slugs that took their time to travel around.They were approached by squirrels, and Mia fed them pieces of bread.Some hungry reptiles and greedy spiders also approached them with different intentions, but Gabe electrocuted them a little and they all ran back to minding their business.Eventually, Gabe and Mia stopped by in the next town, Frankfoot, named after the genius engineer for his contribution in creating machines that made crop and fruit harvest a whole lot easier.Mia’s jaw dropped when she saw machines that shoot out rubber things out of their mouths and fetch fruits without damaging them.“It’s like watching lizards catch their prey,” Gabe was also astonished.One man cut the grass on his garden by sending out a cutting blade which floated through the air using magnetic energy. He remotely operated the blade

    Each bee was the size of a bull, and their stingers were as long as bulls’ tails.Mia was frightened by their looks as well as the intimidating noises they made on their speedy arrival.Four of them together attacked Mia with their stingers.Maybe, they knew she was the weaker of the two, but Mia was able to duck and barely dodge.Gabe immediately released a burst of electricity which struck all the bees and the hunters.The bees seemed to be paralyzed, but the hunters were only affected momentarily by it.The leader of the hunters was the only one who leaped forth and attacked with his claw-like weapons.Gabe blocked the claws with his arms covered with lightning.At the moment of impact, the hunter’s claws released a strangely powerful energy that managed to penetrate the lightning and reach his skin.Gabe put more lightning into his arms, and it pushed the hunter leader back.Gabe looked at his arms, which were slightly bleeding. “That energy… was it vivre? No, it felt a bit differ

    The officer woke up screaming sharply.Gabe had just sent a jolt of electricity through the officer’s body, which was painful enough to make him cry.Realizing he wasn’t even tied up, the officer put his hands on the ground and thrust a kick aimed at Gabe’s chin.Gabe caught him by the ankle and smashed him left and right to the ground, making him bleed all over.Mia, who was watching it, didn't feel pity as innocent people died because of the laser beam the officer had shot.By the time Gabe let go of the officer’s leg, the officer was barely able to move. “Y-You won’t get away with this. Do you know who I am? I’m an officer! Touching me is the same as asking yourself to be killed.”“Even after all the beating, you are still talking shit,” Gabe put his foot on the officer’s knee and pressed it down. “Do you want to lose your ability to walk?”The kneecap cracked, and the officer screamed in horror.They were currently outside the town, so nobody was around to hear. Also, the sound of

    A black laser beam fell from the sky and scraped past Mia’s shoulder and struck the ground, causing a massive explosion that destroyed the alley and nearby buildings.“Did we get him?” The old lady anxiously watched from about half a mile away.“Haha, Grandma, we shot a laser beam from the warplane,” her son, who was an officer, replied laughing. “Escaping from it is impossible unless you’re at least above level 50 like the knights. I’m sure their bodies have been burned to a crisp. I’m afraid that the gold coins would have also melted.”“More than the gold, we must get hold of that lightning power that the brat used,” the old lady quickly said. “That’s quite a rare ability. We can’t let it slip away. So, hurry up.”“Once the smoke clears up, I’ll be on it, so don’t worry,” he laughed and then rushed over the scene and helped the injured get to safety.While a few people survived with some damage to their bodies, it was estimated that at least four to five families living in those nea
