"Huh", Andrew sees something which turns off his mood at the moment. Although he was no saint, this was beyond what villains should be doing.

'How was she able to take it? She would most likely be traumatized', Andrew thinks.

On getting close to Marian, he finds out that Annie was not the only one raped as blood could be seen below Marian's sexual part with some still surrounding it.

Seems like the blood turned them off, hence they took their turns waiting for Annie.

This makes Andrew's already bad mood turns for the worse, there was a surge in his aura such that even Marian couldn't breathe and started choking while trying to grasp for breath, after all, she was just an average human and was still a very young girl at that.

On Andrew noticing it, he reins in his aura while staring at Marian with eyes of pity and apology.

'She must be a strong girl, he says inwardly as he bends towards her to untie the rope which was used to bind her.

After untying her, he looks once again in the direction of Annie and notices that she was still in the same position without any change in her position, with the same expression on her face and her eyes dull.

After being free, Marian runs up to her mother and calls out to her, "Mum we are free now. Get up let's go".

There was no response from Annie, Marian continues calling out to her, even to the point of shaking her, but it was up to no good as she didn't even blink one bit.

Annie was just like a lifeless doll at this moment, Marian couldn't help crying more while screaming in her already tired voice.

This was a great tragedy for her and it all occurred in front of her eyes, which was too much for a child of her age. Although Andrew was not too older than her, she hasn't been through even a quarter of the situations that Andrew has been through.

Andrew doesn't think she could take such stimulation and tries to take her away. She struggles with all her might to resist him as she clutches onto her mother tightly with one hand while she struggles out of Andrew's grasp with the other hand.

Although her attempt of struggling was futile in Andrew's eyes like an ant trying to stop a moving truck, it was nonetheless annoying to him, and hence he knocks her unconscious.

Before leaving the house, he takes a look at Annie who was probably a vegetable in this state never to change back.

"I should just be the bad guy till the end I guess", Andrew says as he cuts off the head of Annie. Even after her head was cut off, the expression on her face never changed and there still wasn't a movement on her body.

Andrew sets the house on fire before walking away with Marian in his hands.

"I need some good wine. But what a shame", Andrew sighs as he says still feeling horrible over the fact that such good wine has been wasted. But he doesn't wallow too long in that mood as he moves on to continue his hunt of those bandits who were brave enough to destroy his favourite tavern.

He doesn't forget to immobilize them before burning them to death. Some he even did worse to see if his burning anger would quell down a bit and it did work, so he continued with it all. He isn't bothered about those children who were made captives, after all, some of them mocked him, gossiped about him, and avoided him. Although he wasn't close with people of his age, he still had to repay the favour.

Finally, after some cleanup, he comes face to face with Oscar who was in the village head's house, planning on satisfying himself with Cornelius' daughter while making him watch as everything goes down.

Oscar seems to have fun from watching Cornelius' facial expression as he little by little unclothes her. He had come into this compound normally to vent with the women present after his battle with Zed, but Cornelius fought with him immediately as he came in, and although they were evenly matched for a while, due to the poison remnants still present in his body which eventually started acting up, Oscar was able to dominate at the end and immobilized him while screwing around with all the females present in the compound.

Oscar wasn't a quick to satisfy man and happens to catch this beautiful maiden who happened to be Cornelius' daughter hidden in a particular room. He saved her for last since he knew he was related to Cornelius in one way or the other.

Cornelius tries his best to struggle but he couldn't as his bones were broken and he overstressed himself hence the rebound of the poison which he has been suppressing caused more damage than usual.

He hated the fact that he couldn't do anything to save his daughter, she has after all, just come visiting and was schooling in the capital while the rest of his children were either doing business or already married over there.

She was the last child he had out of four and was still schooling to become a minister in the capital, he didn't expect that her visit this time around would lead to such circumstances.

The old man couldn't help crying and Andrew bursts into the apartment at this moment, "You must be the last one then", those were the first words that came out of his mouth immediately as he saw Oscar.

"Huh. Who is this kid?", Oscar was annoyed that someone came to disturb him while he was having such a good time and hadn't even started tasting the pure goods in his hands and was still toying around with her.

Cornelius was relieved on hearing the voice and seeing that someone has finally come to their rescue. He couldn't recognize it was Andrew at first due to the new changes in him but on looking closely, he was able to recognize him. After all, he was familiar with Andrew as he had met with him on a few occasions which makes him feel downcast as he sighs while his newly gotten hope deflates.

"Kid, you shouldn't have come here alone. Where are Michael and the rest? Why didn't they come along with you?", Cornelius screams in askance, he didn't believe one bit that Andrew could turn the present situation around and thought to seek after Michael as only he could fight or even defeat Oscar.

Andrew ignores the comment of the village head and wouldn't even be bothered to come over to his apartment if not for the fact that he was angry over the tavern which was destroyed and the fact that he met Marian in such a condition.

He just moves at an unbelievable pace, and with the same carefree attitude that he had throughout his hunt of the bandits, he strikes at Oscar.

But since he didn't put in any effort as he took Oscar as another underling, Oscar was able to avoid being deeply injured as just a cut could be found on his hands which he used to block while dodging with all he had.

'Who is this kid? How was he able to get to where I was so quickly? Is he in the same realm that I am right now? How could such a freak exist in this village?', Oscar questions his inner mind while he becomes serious, all the while trying to cover his third leg which has been formerly exposed due to his previous actions.

Cornelius was also shocked at Andrew's speed and didn't know when these words came out of his mouth, "Kid you?", he couldn't muster what to ask Andrew as he was too shocked by the recent development.

Was this the same Andrew who was termed as the new weakest hunter in the village? The one whom everyone mocked for dropping in power? The one whom he had discussed with Michael to get rid of because he was becoming a nuisance? He couldn't believe his eyes at all, but he doesn't seem to be in a dream, hence he has to accept what he was seeing presently.

Just like Oscar and Cornelius, Andrew was also shocked, albeit for a different reason, "Ohh Ohh. Seeing how you were able to evade my attack, you must be the strongest out of them all", he says.

"Is there someone else as strong as you around?", Andrew asks at the next moment, but Oscar doesn't give him any reply.

"Seeing that you are not replying, I guess there isn't. So I don't have to worry about anything after leaving this village", he pauses for a while before continuing, "Come on then, since you are the major cause of the destruction of the tavern, I won't let you off as easily as I did with your underlings".

After dropping such words, he moves with greater speed that Oscar couldn't react to, and bit by bit he starts cutting every part of Oscar's body.

All Oscar could do was scream while being cut all over, he couldn't even muster any energy to retaliate or gather any force in defence. He was just like an animal in the slaughterhouse waiting to be slaughtered.

Cornelius stares at the scene unfolding in front of him with great incredulity, he was the one screaming previously, but seems like Oscar has now taken his place and performed his previous job even more perfectly than he did.

Andrew was toying with Oscar and wasn't in any hurry to fully end his life. Oscar notices this and tries to bribe Andrew by saying, "Please don't kill me. I can give you anything you desire".

Andrew doesn't stop as he continues his action. Oscar grits his teeth as he continues, "What do you want? Is it gold or women? We have it all, all stocked up in our base".

Andrew on hearing gold, pauses his action, and with expectations in his heart, he asks, "Do you have some nice wine also?".

"Of course, we do. As long as you promise to spare me, I would give you all that you want", cries out Oscar as if he has seen a thread of rope and was trying his hardest to clutch onto it.
