Arwin looked confusedly around her; she didn't recognize the current room where she was, but she recognized it as a clinic after watching a little bit around of her and seeing all of the things related to medicine.

She could feel his head throbbing, an intense pain making her uncomfortable. She suddenly remembered how scare she felt last night. Arwin knew she couldn’t hear anything.

But before she has the time to worry about herself, she suddenly saw an old man coming out from a door, and she put her guard up, but when she saw Timothy behind the old man, she relaxed somewhat before saying.

It was a familiar silhouette, Arwin thought. She recognized the young man.

"You saved me? Thank you so much, and sorry for being a burden. I haven't even caught your name, and you already brought me to a clinic." Arwin says as she sat back down on her hospital bed.

"My name is Timothy, and the man next to me is Jonn, even when we mostly call him an old man or a doctor. The person there who is cleaning is Mark; he is harmless, but he doesn't like to talk much. Now, let the doctor examine you as you hit your head quite badly, and you lost your consciousness for a day." Timothy said while the old man was searching for a few things.

Arwin looks around, taking mental notes and remembering everyone’s faces and names. She was guessing their intentions silently.

"For a whole day? Damn, they even took my pistol away from me, and then they dare to throw me so hard that I passed away for a while day.” Arwin says and continued, “I will get my revenge later. Timothy, can I ask, can you do get me my pistol back? It's a good pistol; it seems I will give you the exact information on how it looks like, so can you do this me as a favor, and I would own you one." Even when this pained Arwin to say she had no other choice than try to trust at Timothy, who already saved her life.

She doesn’t necessarily have someone else to trust after all.

"Oh, let me see what I can do. Tell me how it looks like, and I will do my best to get it back as soon as possible.” Timothy looks at the doctor for a short while before continuing, “Besides, it’s no big deal.”

Arwin started to tell as detailed as she could how her pistol looked like, and Timothy was taking mental notes before saying, “Okay, I think I got it now, but I won't promise that I will find the exact one, but I will buy some pistol to you that I would find a suitable.”

“But in return, you have to promise to listen to me then, and my story as there is one specific thing I need from you, but you don't have to accept it just listen before deciding. For now, listen to the doctor and stay here, and I will be back soon." Timothy said, and when he was at the door, he heard Arwin replied before giving it some thought, "Thank you, Timothy, and I promise to listen to you as I really do owe you one now."

When Timothy left, the doctor came towards Arwin and introduced himself.

"As Timothy said, my name is Jonn, but you can also call me an old man or as a doctor. But now I need you to listen to me as you really did hit your head badly, so I want to make sure that you are alright.” The doctor finished, and Arwin just nodded obediently. The doctor first took a lantern to see in which condition Arwin's eyes were.

After his observations, John concluded, "Your eyes seem alright towards the light after resting them a little bit; let's see your sight." The doctor went to the other side of a room, placed a sign with letters and numbers on it, and asked from Arwin.

Arwin thought it was good because she badly needs her eyes.

"Can you read the first row for me?" And Arwin started to read the numbers and letters that were on the sign.

"Okay, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your vision or head, but do you have a headache or something going on in the background?" The doctor asked, wanting to make sure he hasn't missed anything.

"No, I feel fine little wobbly, and I'm hungry, but otherwise, everything seems fine," Arwin answered, and the doctor came towards and said, “Say immediately if anything hurts."

The doctor started to press Arwin at the stomach and back, but Arwin didn’t feel any pain at all, and when he was done, he said. “No internal organs seem to be broken; let me just see your wound, and then I'm done."

The doctor started to examine the wound on the head and the patches he had made it yesterday, and finally, he said, “You seem to be fine. If anything, you’re lucky the wound wasn't that deep. Still, it needed five ticks to be closed, so you should avoid any sudden movement of a head that the wound won't open again, and then we can remove the ticks after a weak and maybe cut a little bit of your hair as now the ticks leave a visible mark at it.”

The doctor said and shouted at Mark to go and prepare the rest of the porridge for Arwin, “You must regain your strength. Here’s a water and a plain porridge for you. Now, as you are still recovering, you should avoid overeating."

"Thank you for this doctor; how much do I owe you as this couldn't be free, right?" Arwin asked out.

“As Timothy said, you just have to listen to us and let me start the story about a man named Silas, and I will let Timothy tell his part when his back here." The doctor said and started his part of the story to try and get Arwin side with them.

They have to play this right. Arwin doesn’t look naïve either.

On the other hand, Arwin was curious about who this Silas was.

    Arwin walked calmly. Wendy saw her when the young woman said, “Yes, everything turned out for the best, they gave everyone immunity, and they decided to unsubscribe. The army’s way of doing things is not the best!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “It’s true. It is not! But it’s good that the republic doesn’t follow them anymore. They’ve been close to me for a long time, so you don’t have to worry!”Smiling, Arwin thanked him and said, “I know! The mafia has done a lot for us, and we are available. We will open a special commission agency, and we can take on any job. Any…!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “I’ll keep them in mind then… Tell me! On the hand, how does it work?Smiling, Arwin nodded, saying, “The hand works great! Just like Strickland’s arm, though, he only knows how to complain….!”Wendy nodded and, seeing Arwin said, “That’s great, but if you don’t need anything, what did you come to do? Just to say hello?”Arwin nodded and said, “I wanted to know how you were, but more than anyth

    Arwin was unconscious and the warm hand of a person she knew brought her back to reality. Everything was collapsing, and a one-armed man was pushing hard to remove part of the railing that was above it.“Luca.”She whispered when she saw the effort that the man-made toward her. She placed both hands on the railing and, helping him between the two of them, managed to lift her, she looked at him, and he said, offering her a hand, “I was worried, and I came to see how you were!”She, smiling, took his hand and, standing up, said, “It was difficult, but I did it! Is dead!”Luca smiling, began to run to the side of Arwin. Both were injured but kept a steady pace walking to get out of that place. Arwin seeing him, looked at his bandaged leg and said, “You managed to beat Skyler!”The smiling young man looked at him and said, “Nine times out of ten, she would have lost… I was very lucky!”She looked at him and was sure that he was speaking sincerely. However, she also knew how efficient he w

    Arwin looked at the man walking towards her. Her shirt fell to the ground and showed a torso full of scars. The man raised his hands, looked at the pirate, and said, “It is said that you were the captain of a pirate ship. Is that true?”Arwin tightened his muscles, and the smiling man said, “I also!”With speed, she approached. For Arwin, it was strange to see a person of that size move at such speed, the man launched two direct blows to Arwin’s face, and the young woman, moving her head from side to side, managed to avoid them.He prepared a strong uppercut and threw it at the girl’s face. She tilted her face back to avoid the blow, but she could only feel the impact and see the entire room move around her. She didn’t understand what was happening.She was sure she had dodged it, but now the whistle that deafened her ears was in accordance with the erratic movement of the lights when the next blow caught her in the stomach.She felt a powerful hollow in her stomach as her legs failed

    Arwin looked straight ahead at the swordsman of the black knights, the corpses of his companions adorned the entire anteroom, and he said, smiling, “After killing you. I’ll go find that Skyler guy and finish him off!”She, smiling, calmly breathed as she squeezed the handle of her gun. In that place, the smell of blood began to permeate everything, and the man in front of her said, “This is it. It’s the end!”Taking a step forward, he pressed the handle of his sword. That action generated a reaction from Arwin, who, with full power, advanced. Their steps were synchronized, and in a fraction of a second, the blood on the ground splashed from their strong steps until they crossed each other and stayed behind their enemy.They both calmly smiled, and it was one of Arwin’s daggers that broke at that moment. She looked at it and straightened up, and looked back when she said, “The weapons of the black knights are unmatched!”Seeing the man, he fell to his knees, and slowly, his hands went

    Luca watched Skyler. Every move in his mind ended with the man stabbing him somewhere in the body, and even though the sword was severed and its reach reduced, Skyler didn’t look fazed in the least.In a normal fight with a normal person, Luca would have the advantage because of his armory on his arm, but against Skyler, all those weapons were useless. Something about that person was extraordinary, and his ability to fight was beyond everyone’s expectations, including Luca’s.Skyler bending her knees forward, jumped towards him, Luca raised his arm, trying to anticipate the blow, but the union member did not reveal his attack until the last minute.With a precise sword strike to the abdomen, Skyler made Luca step back, activating the barrel of his weapon. He opened his palm so that it pointed at Skyler, and the young man, only leaning forward a little, managed to dodge the shot.Swinging his sword hard, he hit Luca’s arm with the edge making his hand do a huge flip, and with his bare

    Arwin and his men arrived at the antechamber of the emperor’s room. They all looked at the door ornamented with the symbol that was the shield of the empire on the doorknobs while they breathed deeply. Arwin said, “Once we go in, probably if we find opposition, they have to be careful and attack firmly. We don’t know what’s in store for us!”But that was not entirely true, and she had a clear notion of what was waiting for her behind that door. Seeing her companions before entering, she said, “Listen, if there are any black knights entering behind this door, I want you to retreat immediately… if you stay, you will die!”One of the soldiers saw her and said, “We will not retreat. If we even die, we have to make sure to make your mission easier, and if the black knights are behind this door, then we will have to face them, that’s all!”She smiled, the support of her men always lovely, and kicking the door hard, she had a split second to see the formation in front of her.Four soldiers a
