(READER'S DISCRETION IS ADVISED)
The aura surrounding the innocent-looking Andrew at this moment was filled with death as he didn't have any scruples about killing any of whom were involved both directly and indirectly with the destruction of the tavern.
He didn't even care to check if the owner of the tavern was even alive as his head was filled with all the wine he could have gathered and drank heartily being destroyed and there was no way for it all to come back.
On the bandits noticing this young man coming solely towards them, they were shocked at first as such an aura of death which has gathered around him couldn't be just imitated and he should have killed a lot to get to this stage.
But on seeing the face and stature of the person walking towards them and seeing how he wasn't equipped with any weapon, they thought maybe they were mistaken cause Andrew's appearance has changed really and he looked like those children who were pampered since birth. His ripped muscles which were normally pronounced all seem to have vanished and his eyes portrayed absolute innocence.
On getting towards the group of bandits, the aura around Andrew has vanished and everything from before seems to be an illusion, "Erm, do you guys know what happened to that tavern?", Andrew asks with a harmless smile on his face.
"Psst, hahahahaha", on hearing such a question, one of the bandits couldn't help laughing and this causes a chain reaction and the others laughed along with him. "And here I thought you were someone important. Turns out you are just a kid who is still wet behind his ears", says the one who first laughed.
Andrew's harmless smile was still plastered on his face while what was going through his mind was, 'Maybe am rushing to conclusions and they took the wine. If I asked them nicely maybe they would give it to me back, after all, bandits love drinking right? Well, according to what I know in those movies, they do love good booze and women. So it's not wrong of me to just ask them politely'.
"How were you able to escape from our eyes? You should have been rounded up with the other children. Bet you did fetch a very hefty price in the slave market", says another of the bandit while looking at Andrew with bright eyes like he was scrutinizing a commodity that he was about to buy.
"Please honourable sirs, do you mind telling me what happened to the tavern over there?", Andrew asks once again with the same smile on his face.
"I did have loved to keep you to myself but the boss won't agree", says a woman who was the absolute definition of ugly, with a flat chest and buttocks, she was among the group of bandits and her voice sounded like two sharp objects were scratching against each other, very unpleasing to the ears.
The way she looked at Andrew was with great infatuation like she couldn't help to have him in her hands and warmth while performing some lewd acts. The way she was staring gave Andrew some chills but he managed to hold strong to his expression.
"But since you look handsome and pleasing to the eyes, I guess it won't hurt to tell you I guess", she continues.
"Please do ma'am. If I may say you are beautiful too", Andrew compliments with a straight face while trying to get an explanation from the woman.
Whistles and waves of laughter could be heard after Andrew's compliments, while random shouts could be heard, "You scored yourself one today, Vivian", "Didn't know someone could find you beautiful though", "Your charms finally work huh", "Vivian and beautiful. How does that relate?", "It doesn't relate at all".
The woman named Vivian blushes at the compliment of Andrew while ignoring the comments of her comrades, "You do know how to sweet talk someone huh, kid", she says.
"Well, we needed something to light up the place so that it would seem brighter, after all, we were having a feast and we can't have it without some light on. Unfortunately, we didn't carry anything with us to light things up, and hence we had to make do with the wine", she continues.
She doesn't notice that the mood of Andrew has changed at her last words as she continues once again, "That tavern owner cried like a kid and we had to kill him to shut his mouth. Was he your daddy, kid? Are you mad that we killed him? Don't worry I would take perfect care of you as long as you behave properly and make sure I don't get tired of you".
Laughter arose once again since they all knew how vicious this woman was, she has even tried making her way towards the boss but had been rejected without any thinking.
Any guy that ends up in her hands always gets to the state in which they wish they were dead. They would be tortured while raped almost every hour without any rest and with little food.
Immediately she gets tired of the guy, she feeds him to wild beasts while still alive, and watches as the beast gnaws on the bony body with an exhilarating expression on her face.

"Hey boy, what do you think about following me? I could maybe convince the boss to let me keep y...", she couldn't complete her sentence as a punch lands on her head which makes it explode with brain matter scattering all over while her headless corpse slowly fell.
As such a scene occurs before the bandits, their previous moods were erased as they looked at the headless Vivian who was now dead, lying on the floor.
They couldn't imagine how such a thing could have happened in their presence.
"I didn't expect that I did be this powerful that just one punch could have killed her. I should have controlled my strength", sighs Andrew at this moment while saying, feeling sad about how the woman has quickly died.
This comment of Andrew both knocks the bandits out from their shock and annoys them as well, but they well understood the strength needed to cause someone's head to explode, and hence, they couldn't help gripping their weapons tightly.
As if a bell rang to stipulate the beginning of the fight, the bandits all ran towards Andrew. They believe that with all of them ganging up on him, they would be able to subdue him if not kill him.
"Wait", Andrew cries out at this moment which shocks the bandits as they all stopped, after which he bends down to pick up a knife that was on Vivian's corpse.
"I guess I would have to make do with this then", he pauses for a while as he stands up to look at the bandits who have now surrounded him, "You can come now".
The bandits were angry over the fact that Andrew seem to be toying around with them, but they still ran towards him.
Andrew uses his newly acquired knife to the best of his abilities which came along with fluent and well-practised moves, he stabs every one of the bandits surrounding him at light quickening speed avoiding any area that could lead to instant death but with each of them suffering from various degrees of deep stab wounds in every other part of their body and were bleeding out profusely while lying down on the floor.
He looks around at all the bandits who were laying on the floor screaming not having expected such a scenario from happening.
He slowly walks toward one of the bandits, picks him up, and tosses him into the already burning tavern, and a shrilled scream is followed by the smell of being burnt.
He takes his time as he repeats the action on every one of the bandits on the floor while watching as they all burnt in the fire screaming in greater pain.
It was like he was watching a fire play as he looked at the fire burning with great excitement in his eyes.
After all the screams died down, he focused his eyes on the fire burning to check if maybe any of the bandits were trying to bear through the pains and escape after he left but he found out that they were all truly dead without a doubt due to the burnt corpses he saw present in the fire.
He moves towards the next location and repeats the same action over again. After repeating such action two more times, he finally remembered Annie and Marian and begrudgingly ran towards the direction of their house.
He finds their house open wide and a scream from an exhausted voice could be heard from inside the house, "Leave my mother alone. Leave her alone", if not for the fact that Andrew has gotten to the front of the apartment, he was not sure he could have heard it, which goes to show that the scream has been going on for a pretty long while now, hence the deeply cracked voice.
On getting into the house, Andrew sees that Annie was being raped brutally by some group of men, about eight of them were taking their turns with her, using any hole opened in her body to rape her, be it her mouth or any other part while Marian was being tied tightly in one side, too tight that she was bleeding by just struggling a little bit.
Seems like the beauty of Annie worked to her disadvantage as she was presently being gathered and couldn't muster the energy to even scream as she seems to have given up on life.
She thought about biting off one of the men's private parts but all her teeth were knocked out before she could even act as she thought.
Tears and mucus came out from her eyes and nose, while saliva was escaping from her mouth at a great rate.
Andrew just frowns at this scene and on the men noticing him, stopped their action as they stared at him, Marian on seeing him, couldn't help rejoicing as she says with her cracked voice, "Andrew, please help my mother. Kill those men, please save her from them".
She seems to have forgotten that Andrew was no longer as powerful as he used to be based on his performances, after all, anyone would try to hold on to any saving line they could find in times of danger.
"Excuse me", Andrew says while walking outside. "Huh", the men and Marian wore strange expressions. Marian couldn't help despairing as the last straw for salvation which she has thought she found, left just like that without taking a single action.
On getting outside, he did the unthinkable. He peeks inside his pant to check if something changed to it since he took that red ball. To his amazement, it had grown and he has a smug expression on his face as he said, "It's bigger than theirs. Puberty is indeed great".
He came out just to compare something like that while people were inside struggling for their lives, he didn't care about their lives but since he made a promise, he had to protect them to the least of his abilities, but to his observation on just entering the house, Annie seems finished.
Even if he rescued her at this moment, she would still die and he wasn't bothered about such a thing and couldn't condemn the act of those bandits.
He could and would do something worse than that all to achieve his goal, he has grown to understand that there was a bad and deep side to the world, and those who might seem the most innocent might have a secret that could make these vile acts of the bandits seem like the right thing to do.
He went back into the house only to see that the men were continuing with their acts not being bothered about his previous intrusion and weren't even bothered to go after him. He just moves at great speed while slitting all their throats.
They didn't know how they died as those who were raping Annie had their lower parts still moving while they were trying to grasp for breath as their necks bled profusely. While those who were by the side just died without a word. Blood spilt all over the floor and no matter how much blood touched Annie, she doesn't seem to notice it as she just stays in the same position without any excess movement while saliva kept pouring out of her mouth. Her eyes were dead while she was still breathing, any sign of life in her eyes has most certainly vanished without a trace.
