Run Away Villian

Uprising 1

-069-

"Young lord?!" Muttered Benjamin who couldn't believe on what he was seeing.

His mind can't process that the same person whom he just talk about a commission has now infront of him.

He must admit he was rather amuse by the way the boy negotiate with him but he didn't expect for the boy to even manage to follow him which was complicated as he always exit the building in a different persona than what he was inside.

"Greetings again Mr. Adler" Greet Knox slightly bowing his head. Benjamin on other hand gape when he heard his name came out of the boy's mouth.

Only a few knew the guild master name aside from those he consider comrade or those whom he work for a long time already.

But for someone whom he just meet a few hours ago was just unexpected. Truly shock Benjamin didn't even notice as Titus start to sneakily try to run away.

But alas Rosh caught him in the act and fire a fire ball in his direction, hitting the ground a few inches ahead of him that makes the man scream like a teenage girl.

That is only when Benjamin remember that he was in a middle of a fight.

"Titus!" He shouted when his anger resurface after seeing the man who killed his brother again.

He tried standing up to catch the said man but he was too weak to do so and collapse. Luckily Rosh was quick enough to catch him before he hit the ground.

"Leave the rest to us Mr. Adler" Said Knox as he move forward and lean to Benjamin who was being aided by Rosh.

He was half laying on the ground already except that his upper body was lifted by Rosh by putting his arm around the later back to not let his back touch the ground.

"What?" Benjamin ask confused by what Knox said but the boy just smile as a reply before he lean closer and covered the man's eyes with his hand.

As darkness envelope Benjamin vision somehow he felt sleepy. It's like the fatigue that accumulated from all the fighting has finally caught up into him.

He couldn't even move or even lift his finger at most due to exhaustion. Slowly his eyelids felt heavier and heavier.

Soon enough it became too heavy that he couldn't open it anymore. He still here Knox saying something into his ear but his mind is all clouded making him unable to understand what the boy have said.

I ask him later

He said to his self as he felt his consciousness slowly fade away.

------------------

          Chirping of the bird can be heard from the distance accompanied by the laughter of children and joyful voices of people.

Benjamin who was laying on his bed couldn't help but feel happy about it. It has been his dream to live in a world full of laughter and happiness.

But of course such thing was like a punch in the moon as people will always and will always find ways to fight. It can be their greed for richest, the feeling of being dominant than others, for power and many such.

Benjamin never understand why people always covet more even though they already have many. He never understand the nature behind such greed that's why despite being born into the slum on the outskirts of the kingdom he was always down to earth.

He always help those who are in need. Always do the right thing and never once does he do or even dare of commiting atrocious things to others.

That's why he trained hard and long for those precious to him. To protect them and insure that they are happy and have everything needed despite being bind by an unjust contract with the Duke of the west.
