Chapter 1809: Emil's Request

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

After having been gunned by a kid, the bandit boss couldn't help but feel like he was the most unfortunate person in the world, completely disregarding everyone he had made suffer.

"W-What the fuck... happened? What did I do to deserve this...?!

After he coughed blood and reached the end of the stairs, back where he had come from, a tall man covered on scales smiled, looking at him from above.

"You've had your fun scamming and kidnaping people, right? So it's time for retribution, smartass."

The man kicked his head, making the wolf man welp in pain.

"No sin goes unpunished."

Then, as he pointed a gun at his face, the wolf screamed.

"W-Wait... Wait a second, don't-"

BANG!

His head exploded into pieces, that bullet was reinforced using divine power, making them even stronger and tougher than normal bullets.

"And done," he said. "Is there someone alive?"

"Nope, no," the black-haired girl said. "They're all dead except the kidnaped people."

"Thankfully we were able to see them in time or they would have been shot to death..." the other woman sighed. "Miranda, did you had to be so reckless and shot right away? Be more careful next time!"

"But I didn't want this scum to get away like last time," said Miranda, complaining. "Look Benladann, we still won, and we didn't even had difficulties this time because we didn't even let them get time to think! Right Drake?""

"Yeah, this guy's pretty strong," said Drake. "His Aura and his body's strength was definitely at the same level as that cactus bastard if not a big higher, but instead of fighting he ran away instantly and the kids finished him off, that's nice."

"Well done kids!" Drake said, as he saw his children walk downstairs while looking around. The people that were kidnaped, meanwhile, had been protected by a barrier of light conjured by Gabriel and combined with Starry and Nebula, helping them reflect the mighty bullets as they came.

"Dad! Are the kidnaped people okay?" Benladra wondered.

"Let's help them, I'm worried," Kate said.

"They should," nodded Drake. "Okay, let's go help them out then."

Drake quickly dispelled the barrier, as a group of varied alien species were revealed, tightly wrapped around with cloths and ropes, once they were freed, they couldn't help but cry out of happiness, thanking the family.

"Thank you for saving us!"

"We didn't know what we would have done..."

"I thought I was going to be sold as a slave..."

"It's nothing, I'm glad you were still alive," Benladann sighed in relief.

Drake glanced at the people and noticed one of them was quite different than the rest, he had a much smaller, slender body, had gray skin, big blue eyes, and long silver hair.

Only wearing white clothes wrapped around his body, his gray skin was covered on blue colored runes, and despite looking weak, there was a large amount of power within him.

"T-Thanks... I was so scared... I never thought that my kind was used to make drugs, it's terrifying to think about it..." he muttered.

.

"Wait, what?" Drake asked. "Really? I see... is this why you have so much Psychic Energy within you?"

"Psychic... Energy?" the boy wondered. "So that's what I have? Nobody at my village knew about me, I was abandoned at birth... I... came here looking for opportunities, to make money for my village. I had heard about a race; I was thinking of joining with a few other members of our village here."

"Yeah, Emil is really nice and has helped us a lot!"

"We couldn't believe they said what they said..."

"What kind of monsters would want someone to butcher them and turn them into drugs?!"

At least the other villagers weren't going to turn against Emil, and seemed to be overall nice people, a rare sight in this city.

"Well, for now we should get out of here," said Drake. "Do you have somewhere to stay on?" "Not really..." sighed Emil. "We had money, but it was stolen from us- Huh?!" However, as Emil lamented his current economic status, he saw a huge bag of coins being thrown at him! Or well, of starlight crystals, which some people just called coins.

"This is a bag we found, there's a huge deposit with more money," said Benladann. "That should be more than what you had, right? Do you want a second? A third one? Here."

The woman threw them several bags full of money, the people couldn't believe how easy it was to get so much money!

"W-With this we could return to our village already!"

"Maybe we should return? The city is really scary..."

"For real, our first visit and we got kidnaped already..."

"Emil, what do you think?"

They glanced Emil, the eldest of all these youngsters, they seemed to want to hear his

opinion.

"Um... well..."

He glanced at Drake and his family, his children and Benladann and Miranda.

"You guys should go back, but I'll stay..."

"Eh? But why?!"

"Are you sure?"

"But won't that cause trouble? Where will you stay?"

Emil then glanced at Drake.

"Um, are you bounty hunters?"

"Yes... Yeah."

Drake continued to pretend he was.

"T-Then... there's another reason why I came here..." Emil muttered. "I-I have been looking for my parents. Can you help me find them? I now know my mind is rare, and even valuable...

so I don't hope for the best but... I need to find out somehow, what happened to them... Maybe what do they do to my kind!"

Emil expressed his emotions and heart into his words, Drake sighed, as he nodded.

"Alright, the pay will be quite expensive, but we could help you out a bit," Drake smiled. "After all, we got a lot of info now."

He looked at Miranda who finished devouring the bandit corpses, gaining their forms and shapes, and also part of their memories, techniques, and even some experiences.

"Yep, I know a lot now..." she nodded. "Your kind is indeed super valuable, your blood is used to create drugs that awaken Psychic Powers on people, insane... The guys here actually knew something... Apparently, the "main branch" that controls all of these gangs probably have more of your kind trapped somewhere else."

"What?!" Emil gasped. "P-Please...! C-Could you help me rescue them?!"

It seemed Drake finally found the third and last "character quest".
