Chapter 27 Suddenly, "whoosh—hiss—" and at the same time, there was strength.

Suddenly, a "whoosh—hiss—" was heard, accompanied by a powerful, muffled groan as it pierced through the genitals.

"Caught! This despicable thief!" A young girl slowly emerged from the dense forest.

She has an ordinary appearance, but her charisma adds to her charm.

She was holding a huge bow. At first, Kendall thought it was her weapon, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the bow was actually connected to her arm by flesh and blood.

Her lower body was the kind of limbs that looked more like insects than any other animal.

The arrow clearly looked incredibly powerful, piercing a large hole in Mr. Krabs' chest.

But both Burger King and Mr. Krabs appeared relaxed.

"Hey, what happened? The tail wasn't cleaned up properly!" Burger King joked.

"It was my carelessness. I didn't expect them to put tracking powder in the collectibles."

Mr. Krabs casually pulled the arrow out of his chest.

This explanation seems reasonable, after all, they came to steal something, and it was the most important item at that.

It's normal that we didn't check carefully due to time constraints.

However, Kendall noticed that King Hanbo's expression briefly went out of control, and he looked like he was in great pain, but he quickly recovered.

"But it seems only this little girl followed us. That's probably because the powder was extracted from 'it,' so she could sense our location, right? But the little girl is too reckless. Without any reinforcements, how can you be so sure you can beat us?"

Han Baowang chuckled dismissively.

The girl pursed her lips and silently raised the bow in her hand again.

Kendall noticed that Mr. Krabs had pulled the arrow out of his chest, clearly intending to make a move.

However, he was stopped by the King of Han.

Because of their tacit understanding, the action of stopping them was very small and subtle.

But as soon as he tried to stop him, Mr. Crab stopped immediately.

Aji couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how good their relationship was. Besides that, he also noticed that Mr. Krabs' wounds were healing rapidly and he was soon back to normal. Apart from a hole in his clothes, you really couldn't tell that he had been injured.

However, the girl did not stop what she was doing just because they did not attack; she continued to draw her bow.

Aji immediately dodged, but such a dense and close distance was not easy for them.

It might not be difficult for two adults to dodge, but they wouldn't care about the two children.

For the two boys, hiding was extremely difficult. Aji managed to do it alright, because he had a beast-like intuition.

But it was too much for Alan. Several times he almost couldn't make it through, and KFC pulled him out of the way by a narrow margin.

However, Alan was still injured, and her body was covered in bloodstains.

Meanwhile, Han Baowang on the other side continued to mock them.

"Hey~ What's wrong? What's wrong? Did you nail those hands yourself? I think I've seen you before. You used to be so proud of those hands, I remember them, long and white, like scallions. Now? Terribly ugly!"

The girl's hand trembled slightly.

They then intensified their attacks.

"You don't really think your boss likes you, do you? So you're going to be her good boy? If she really liked you, why would she let you do experiments? Or are you willing to be used and be her dog even if she doesn't like you, but you do?"

It must be said that, for some reason, Han Baowang's words were inherently sarcastic.

"Shut up...shut up...shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!" Clearly, this sentence hit the girl's weak spot.

She started acting crazy, turning the KFC upside down so high she felt like her hair was floating up.

However, the two boys' situation became increasingly difficult.

They kept dodging, but later on, all the firepower was concentrated on Han Baowang.

It was clear that the girl was now venting all her anger on the Prince of Han.

Han Baowang still appeared to be in complete control.

"What? Are you angry because you're embarrassed? Did I hit a nerve? Why don't you ask your boss why you did that? Oh, you'll say your boss didn't know you liked her, you'll say it was all for the greater good? But your boss is so smart, how could she not know? And why... it had to be you?"

"Why... why me..." The girl shed tears, and unconsciously lowered the bow in her hand.

"Yes, why you?" Han Baowang's voice began to become seductive, full of allure. "You're so strong now, you can question the boss, you can ask her, 'You know you like her, why are you pretending not to know?'"

Then the girl began to struggle, and then ran step by step toward the forest behind her.

"Let's go, she can probably hold off the people behind her for a while."

Kendall quickly confirmed that Han Baowang's ability was indeed mental.

It really doesn't match its rough appearance.

When they reached a place that looked deserted, King Han Bao finally stopped.

"Alright, let's rest here. They won't be able to catch up for a while."

Then he took out what he had prepared.

Well, there were two sets of quilts, two sets of blankets, two sets of tents... everything came in pairs.

You could say they were well-prepared, except for the fact that they didn't prepare for having two kids.

"You two just have to make do... Don't say I'm mistreating you. I didn't prepare any of those things, so you can just sleep outside. There's a fire here, so you won't catch a cold."

Ah Lan was already injured, and hearing him say that made her even angrier. "Damn it..."

But he had no choice; being weak, he had to continue bowing to the capitalists.

......

After hesitating for a moment, Aji stepped forward and hugged Alan in her arms.

After all, he was just a child.

Although he had already gone to the distant river to fetch some water and applied it to Alan's forehead.

However, it didn't have that much effect.

After all, Alan had a high fever.

This was unavoidable, since the wound was infected, and although there was a fire, it would likely go out in the middle of the night.

It's so cold now, and the environment outside is so bad; one wrong move and you could die.

Holding Ah Lan, he drifted off to sleep.

"Wake up... Ah Ji..." Mr. Krabs gently woke Ah Ji.

Aji was also a little drowsy.

"What's wrong?"

There shouldn't be any danger around, so why wake him up in the middle of the night?

"Here you go." Mr. Krabs simply took out a package of something that was neither too big nor too small.

When Aji opened it, she found some Chinese herbal medicines, most of which were for treating fever and colds.

“You…” Aji’s expression was a little complicated.

Because most of the time, the two of them treated their two children with indifference, letting them grow up without any involvement.

They seemed so indifferent, which hurt them, and at most they would just say, "Let them handle it themselves."

Even though they've spent so many days together, they still feel like strangers.

I didn't expect him to bring the medicine over now; it seems he misunderstood him.

"Alright, stop making that disgusting face. You're powerless now, you could die any minute. Besides, you're too weak to protect your companions. If possible, I don't want you to give up... Fine, whatever you want."

Mr. Krabs sighed, as if he was helpless against the man's stubbornness.

Aji said he could only laugh, as he knew nothing about their past.

After all, that was just made up on the spot; he wouldn't actually have that kind of memory.

But you should at least provide some more information; don't just stop halfway through.

Do you know that it's very unethical to only tell half a secret?

Seeing Aji's smile, he sighed and then left.

I walked to the bank of a small river, where a person was sitting.

He wasn't surprised and simply sat down next to the Krusty Krab.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

"I can't sleep, I'm so worried..."

"What's there to worry about? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. I'm just asking you, do you really want to just throw those two people away?"

"..."

"Don't believe so much, and you're acting too deliberately. I'm afraid Aji will see through you."

"You think I'm afraid of him?"

"You're not afraid of him... you're afraid of me, afraid something will happen to me."

"...I shouldn't have gone there to take a look because of this favor. The entire demon race is not worth a single finger of yours."

"Don't say that. Aren't you a demon too? Since they're all here, let's just keep them in line. Don't you know that prophecies can't be changed? What's meant to happen will happen. Maybe if you stop them now, they'll hold a grudge later. Wouldn't that be falling right into the prophecy's trap?"

"I just want to give it a try, what if it works?"

"What do you want to try? Try it and die?"

"...Don't take yourself too lightly. If that day ever comes, I'll be there for you."

"Let those two teenagers grow up properly. I can tell that their luck is quite high, and they will probably be the key to saving this world in the future. I don't want to become a sinner in this world."

After a long while, a small reply was finally heard.

"I see……"

After Mr. Crab left, King Hanbo stared blankly at the moon in the sky.

Although the moon was obscured by a thin layer of mist, it was still possible to vaguely see that the moon was very round today.

He did indeed think about abandoning the children more than once in the past few days, or even that they might as well die, but he didn't take the initiative to do so. However, when faced with dangerous situations, he didn't think about saving them either.

But they are still alive and well to this day.

"I once made a prophecy for myself: that my life and death would be witnessed by God, that I, a fallen friend of God, would have the claws of a beast pierce my heart."

Snowflakes embraced the buried deceased…

This means he will die by being pierced through the heart by an orc whom the Fallen God considers a friend. The most likely candidate is this orc named Lan.
