18 My prey

Although Rojas's words were nothing more than a whisper, but Kai was still able to hear most of it, several thoughts immediately came to his mind.

' So he also has to follow orders, and that's why he didn't kill those guards then he probably can't mess too much with the people here too, and that is both a good and bad thing since that would make it easier for him to aim for a family like ours but he still has to maintain certain boundaries.

And all this talk about his son getting injured by a stone, what a load of bullshit, while the guards were fighting it isn't a big deal that someone might have accidentally kicked the stone, I bet he is only here to torture a few people, that lunatic bastard. ' Kai thought, he was staring straight at Rojas from behind Ron.

It was already turning a bit dark, and Rojas's presence seemed extremely terrifying for all the people there, the men standing behind him looked menacing and gazed over everyone with wide grins on their faces.

" Haha It seems no one here is taking me seriously, you must all have forgotten about me and thinking of this all as a joke right? " Rojas's voice thundered, then he looked at one of the men and spoke:

" Bring that man here and let everyone see what would happen if they don't listen to my words. "

From behind Rojas, one man instantly moved forward, he walked towards the second house while looking in contempt at the scrawny man, who was trembling violently in fear.

" N- No sir, I- I have nothing to d- do with this. Please spare me... " The scrawny man began to beg, but his words fell on deaf ears as the burly man tightly held his arm and dragged him in front of Rojas.

" Break one of his arms. " Rojas commanded, not even glancing at all towards the men who was lying at his feet who kept begging for mercy.

*CRACK*

The crisp sound of bone breaking resounded in the silence, which was followed by a painful wail, the scrawny man fell unconscious after a couple of minutes, while his face was still filled with tears.

Rojas then turned his gaze towards the others and spoke: " Come out whoever it is, or I'm going break the limbs of all of the men living here, as for the kids and women they would have to go through something much worse than this. "

When he looked at the terrifying expressions of all the people, Rojas was smiling cruelly as if this whole thing was pleasurable for him.

"..."

Even though all the people were terrified, they could do nothing but watch, as this rich man was playing with their lives, treating them like some kind of toys.

" Heh, you still won't listen to me, then- "

But his words were interrupted by the words of his underling, who pointed at the sky and spoke: " Sir, I think that eagle is approaching us. "

After hearing those words everyone looked up and just as expected, soon they all saw the figure of an eagle slowly descending towards Rojas.

" It is a carrier. " Rojas mumbled and when the eagle came near him he just extended one of his arms to let it land, after which one of the men took off a small paper slip from its leg.

Rojas opened the letter and read its content, the more he read the deeper the frown on his face became.

It was the letter from the branch of the low level noble family with which Rojas is affiliated with, and in the letter, it was clearly stated that he shouldn't take things too far in the Arom village with any of the ordinary people, and should not kill or harm any guards, after all the number of beasts have increased, and if something happens to these guards then they would need to dispatch more men here.

" Tch and it was just getting fun. " Rojas mumbled to himself through gritted teeth, then he looked at the people with the same haughty look and spoke.

" I'll be taking out a thorough investigation about this matter, so tomorrow whoever is found guilty will be killed here, right in front of everyone. "

His words were enough to make everyone shiver in fear, and wherever his gaze passed, the breathing of all the people almost stopped.

Rojas's eyes were again drawn towards Emily, and after staring for a few seconds he gestured one of his men to come closer and then whispered something in his ear.

Emily was still releasing a little of her energy, that was also why no guard or even Rojas hadn't targeted their family yet, but it was clear from her weak complexion that she wouldn't be able to exert her full strength.

Rojas's tone was very low when he whispered so even Kai wasn't able to hear a single word, but he was easily able to read Rojas's lips, as he mumbled each word in his head.

' Don't. Touch. Her. She. Is. My. Prey. ' Kai instantly felt his rage boil as a strong killing intent was directed towards Rojas, but it disappeared as soon as it had been released.
