....Soldiers rushed out of the Town in horses, Utto in a carriage, while Okoto was rushing out in hope of reaching in time.
"Everyone! Faster!!!" Utto yelled from inside the carriage, Soldiers made the horses ran faster, they were yelling until the sky starts to darken, the twin moons starts to get covered by the dark clouds, everything was now dark.
'I can't stop here, she saved my niece' Okoto thought, coming down from his horse and starts to run with all he got, thunder starts to roar, and then one thunder hit the earth with, shaking the ground furiosly.
Okoto flinch for a slight second before sprinting even faster as he saw fire coming out of the road, but as he ran a wave of thick mana was trying to push him back, he didn't pay attention to it and kept on running. after a few more minutes, he finally reached the carriage of Moreti, but what he saw was not he'd expected, one of the assasins was dead, clothes soaked wet with blood and hands gone, while the wives of Moreti were shaking and hugging eachother in horror.
Okoto stared around the area, it look like the lightning had strike there, exploding the area, meanwhike he saw Free holding Sylvia tightly in his arms while she was crying. Moreti on the ground, face paled and eyes swollen while Free had one ring pointed at his head.
"Free!!!" Okoto called out, Free turned his head to him with his eyes glowing like a beast. "Stop it, you'll kill him!!" he said, Free inhaled and spat on the ground.
"Is that bad that i killed a bad guy or is it bad that i punished a bad guy" Free said, Okoto tried to speak but his voice stuck on his throat, unable to say anything. "People like this are the reason for many family's ruin, i'm simply eliminating one of the germs" he said.
"But you can't! Killing a noble will only raise problems for you!" he tried to Explain, but Free just hugged Sylvia more tightly.
"Then explain, why is my wife crying?" he ask, Okoto gritted his teeth. "It's simple, he tried to assult her and i'm just taking revemge" he said with a dark voice, Okoto was speechless, he tried to talk back but backed down, because what Free was saying was in fact true.
He turned back his attention to Moreti, his ten rings glowed golden and starts to form a big sphere by spinning around eachother, but before he could end Moreti there, Utto arrived.
"Free!!! Don't kill him!!" Utto yelled, trying to calm him down, Free turned his head to Utto. "Don't if you kill him here, he will just be a victim!" he said, Free's lips twitched and he opened his mouth to speak but Utto cut him out. "I know you won't listen!! But think what will happen to your wife if she saw you murdering someone infront of her!" he yelled, Free paused, he turn his head to Sylvia who was clinging to his chest tightly.
Her tears were not stopping, Free gritted his teeth furiosly, the aura around him starts to calmed down, the sky starts to clear and as the glow in his eye faded, he fall unconcious to the ground again. Slump!.
"Pick both of them up!" Okoto ordered, The soldiers gently pick Free and Sylvia from the ground and put them inside the carriage, Okoto ordered the three wives of Moreti to follow him to the mansion.
As the place was getting cleaned up, the mysterious shadow with long hair watched them from afar, rings shining with the moon light on his hand. "Pft- ahahahah, Chief of Hayan really is a beast!" the shadow laugjed and in one leapt it leap across the trees like it was a childs play.
The morning sunlight came, Free and Sylvia were in their guest room, asleep until Sylvia suddenly jolted awake. "Freeeeee!!" she yelled, hand extended forward and sweatinf. She gasp for breath heavily, then turns to Free sleeping peacefully beside her. A tear ran down her face and she hugged his arms tightly sleeping again, Free's hand too hugged her tightly, even in sleep.
Okoto was in the interrogation room with Utto, infront of the was non other than Moreti, who was still traumatized by last night's event. Moreti explained that last night, Free landed on their roof of the carriage, he broke the window and jump inside the carriage, when he saw Sylvia's clothes torn, and just then a thunder strike from the sky like a judgement and Free was beating him without mercy and even his wives too had a scar across their bodies due to Free's rage.
"Look like even goddess Celestine is mad with him" Okoto said, he cratched his head with a yawn. "Now tell us, what illegal business you do?" Okoto asked, Utto gave him a bonk on the head.
"What are you asking, idiot!" Utto whispered, Okoto smiled and leaned in.
"It's our chance to expose all of Moreti's illegal business" He replied, Utto paused, thought for a moment and smiled widely.
"Agreed, let's do it, my genius little brother" he said, giving a proud pat on Okoto's back. Both starts to question Moreti and he revealed everything he had many black businesses, and even his wives confirmed it, Okoto and Utto collected every information possible. And by the time for breakfast, they had all information about Moreti's family illegal lands and businesses.
Meanwhile Iris was outside the guest room, waiting for Free and Sylvia to come out, but they were still deep asleep in their room, Okoto passed by but he didn't said anything, just smiled, pat Iris on the head and walk away.
"I've never seen her this calm?" Zelda said, staring at Iris from far away, she had a smile on her lips.
"Please big sister, come out soon" Iris prayed outside the room, meanwhile inside, Sylvia's ear twitched a little before she hugged Free tighter.
