"Alright, next one."
The crow-man sat down, picked up the silver needles, and called the next person over.
Beibei walked over excitedly and stretched out her hand.
Floran stood to the side, silently apologizing to Hera and the others.
Just as the silver needle was about to pierce Beibei's finger.
Suddenly, a cutting sound came from the bar's door.
The crow-man stopped stabbing at Beibei.
Beibei's originally excited face suddenly broke down.
Why are you stopping me again?!
A sword aura sliced the wooden door in two.
Then he was kicked away violently.
The man with the bird-beak stood up, threw away the silver needles in his hand, and pulled out a gleaming scalpel from his pocket.
The rest of the burly men also drew their weapons.
Some carried knives, some carried clubs, and many others carried guns.
At the entrance, Fran, holding a knife, and a somewhat nervous Ekaren stood there.
Ekalen spotted Floran and the others in the room at a glance.
Floran saw him too, his eyes filled with apology.
Upon seeing Floran, the crow-man grabbed Floran beside him with his right arm.
The scalpel, tightly gripped in his right hand, was pointed at his neck.
"Don't move!"
Aikaren was shocked; this beast actually dared to lay a hand on a child!
"Let him go! Believe me or not, we'll kill you right now!"
"Aikalen roared."
After a brief flash, a red heart appeared in front of him.
Fran noticed the necklace Floran was wearing around his neck.
His gaze sharpened.
He reached out to stop Aikaren, "Wait, if we attack him, the child might get hurt too."
Ekalen stopped what she was doing and looked at Fran with some disbelief.
"Heh! You're quite clever. You only fought me once, yet you already know my abilities."
The crow-man gripped Floran's hand even tighter.
His eyes were full of smugness as he looked at the two of them.
"Let go of my brother!"
The other three children, seeing Floran being held up, rushed over to try and save him.
Upon seeing this, Aikaren quickly waved his hand towards himself.
The red heart turned blue.
The three children suddenly felt a powerful force pulling them toward Ekaren.
Just as the three of them were being pulled away, a gunshot rang out.
A bullet hole appeared on the ground where the three of them had been standing.
Aycaren grabbed all three of them and pulled them behind her.
"Floran, we'll save him. You two take good care of yourselves."
Aikaren glared angrily at the group of beasts before him.
Their brutal killing of children clearly crossed Aykaren's bottom line.
They wished they could kill everyone right now.
Fran gripped the knife tightly, pointing the tip at his opponent in a thrusting motion.
The crow-man quickly spoke up to remind him.
"I advise you not to even think about killing me in an instant!"
Whenever I am injured, no matter how minor or severe, I will pass it on to the person I am bound to.
Even a wound that can kill someone instantly is the same!
Fran narrowed his eyes, his hand remaining in the same position as when he was holding the knife.
Aikaren kept an eye on the three people behind him, frantically trying to come up with a solution.
Seeing that the two dared not make a move, the crow-like man laughed mockingly.
"Hahaha! How about that, you can't do anything about it now! Didn't you have a lot of fun when you were pursuing me?!"
Where's that smugness you had back then?!
The crow-like man turned and winked at his henchmen behind him.
"If you two don't want this kid to die, you'd better stand there obediently and let my little brother ravage you."
Then tell me where [life] is now!
"If I'm in a good mood, I might spare your lives."
After he finished speaking, the group of burly men behind the crow-man walked towards the two of them with weapons in hand and wicked smiles on their faces.
Fran gripped the blade made of flesh and blood, his lips slightly parted.
"Thank you for your help, boss..."
In an instant, the scarlet longsword in his hand transformed into an irregular mass of flesh and blood that surged toward the crow man.
Before the crow man could react, his right hand was encased in flesh and blood.
He was suddenly slammed against the wall.
Fran had a sudden thought.
A faint sword aura slashed towards Floran's neck.
The necklace hanging around her neck was easily cut off.
Then it was shredded into fragments by countless tiny sword energies.
The eyes beneath the raven-like man's mask widened suddenly.
"How?! How did you know?!"
Ekalen covered the eyes of the three children, and dozens of dragon bone cannons appeared around him.
Dense laser beams covered the large man below.
They were wiped out without even a scream.
The crow man's angry heart instantly turned to ice.
His bloodshot eyes began to tremble with fear.
With a single force, the flesh and blood of the crow man were enveloped.
His only remaining right hand was crushed to pieces.
"ah--!"
The crow-man screamed and was thrown to the ground by flesh and blood.
Floran stood there, trembling.
Although he had his back to the group and couldn't see what was happening.
But judging from the noise and their movements, we can roughly guess what's going on.
Ekalen slowly walked up to Floran.
Floran lowered his head, awaiting the other person's reprimand.
Instead of the expected insults, a gentle hand was placed on his head.
"Take them out first, we two need to take care of something."
