(READER'S DISCRETION IS ADVISED)

We go a bit back in time once again after the group of hunters just entered the forest.

In a cave not too far away from the village, a group of people gathered who were dressed savagely and looked like hooligans.

The most prominent of them all was a bald man who was seated on a wide chair in this place with prominent scars which formed tattoos all over his body and although most were covered, the one on his shiny bald head was very much visible. He was average in height, beardless, had sharp eyes, and a broad nose, and one of his ears has been cut off as there was only one left which was average in size. His teeth were all yellowy and decaying, he was holding a pipe with his right hand from which he smoked.

Although his right hand was busy, he didn't leave his left hand out as it was groping the breasts of a fairly beautiful woman with a nice shape who was half naked, her hair scattered all over the place.

The woman was sitting on his lap while facing the crowd, without any form of shame, and lust could be seen in her eyes while she bubbles up and down on top of the lap on which she was seated.

She was having sex with the man at this moment even in such a crowd, but none of the people present was bothered about the action going on around them as they were already used to the actions of this bald man, and since he was also their leader and going against him meant absolute death after all.

After a long moment of bubbling up and down, the woman who has climaxed multiple times gradually slides down from the seat exhausted and another woman comes in to take her place almost immediately.

Three women were strewn on the floor just like this recent woman, obviously having all gone through the same ordeal, they all rested on the floor. The woman seats on the lap of the bald man, who tears up the upper layer of her clothes while groping her breasts, they just started the deed when a young man comes running in.

The bald man pushes the woman away from his body and his normal bored expression was washed away from his face while he said, "Kestrel, hope you brought me good news this time around".

Kestrel was a resident of the village in which Andrew lives in, a tall lanky young man who sold information to this group of bandits.

Kestrel smiles lewdly while staring at the untouched women who surround the bald man while saying without looking at Oscar, "Of course, Oscar. I won't come if there isn't good news. But my whole body is aching from all the running towards here. I need to be properly tended to, to remove all the stress".

Oscar, the bald man just knits his brow for a moment before whispering something to one of his underlings close to him.

"Follow me", the underlying says with a dull face towards Kestrel after receiving orders from Oscar.

Kestrel gulps as three women who were yet to be touched by Oscar follow him into one of the rooms.

The room which he enters closed at this moment and sounds of moaning and bodies clapping could be heard for up to two hours Oscar's face which was already scary became scarier due to the time taken by Kestrel. The room opens up while Kestrel comes out at this moment all haggard but with a happy smile on his face.

Oscar says lowly, "You sure took your time", but anger could be felt from the tone in which he used to speak to Kestrel, but seems like Kestrel didn't notice it as he just says in reply, "No rush. This time around the best hunters in the village has all gone out on a hunting mission which is supposed to be fatally dangerous. Even if they were able to come back, they would all be fatally injured, hence this is your chance to raid the village".

"Ohh, how reliable is this information of yours?", Oscar says at this moment while his previous scary expression changed into a smiling face, but the smile plastered on his face doesn't really fit him and instead increases his ferocity.

"My source is very reliable and without a doubt", replies Kestrel. "Ohh, why didn't you say so earlier? I would have satisfied you with better women of your taste", says Oscar in a good mood.

Kestrel smiles while asking, "So we are dividing the loot as usual, right?".

On hearing the question asked by Kestrel, Oscar knits his brow in an obvious frown, but soon his smile returns to his face as he says, "For sure we would, after all, you risked your life to send us this vital information".

Kestrel smiles while saying, "We should get going then".

Oscar finally dresses himself up while looking in the direction of his subordinates, he says, "We are about to have a feast. Ready your weapons for this is no ordinary feast but something sumptuous for our well being".

Just those words were enough for his subordinates, as they were riled up and clamoured together while gathering their equipment ready for the feast which would be prepared for them.

Following the lead of Kestrel, they arrived at the village, and since it was daytime, everywhere was busy as usual, children playing, adults carrying out their daily activities, market busy as traders and buyers haggled over the price of goods. They didn't know that at this moment, they were about to be raided.

"Feast until you are full", Oscar roars at this moment towards his subordinates, and both men and women alike under him roar in jubilation while moving with great force to different parts of the village.

"I guess I should take care of that little bastard", Oscar says while moving in the direction of Peter's apartment. He intends to kill Zed, Peter's chief warrior.

"Are you sure you can handle him?", Kestrel who was walking behind him asked suddenly.

"Hmm. Who do you think I am? To the present me, Zed is no more than an ant", says Oscar in reply infuriated by Kestrel's question.

"Ohh, you seem to have confidence this time around. Seems like you have broken through", says Kestrel.

He doesn't seem to mind annoying Oscar at all, as he just says anything that comes to mind. He didn't ask without a reason though, as formerly, Oscar had tried to steal from the carriage of Peter which was being moved from the capital to the village, but since it was protected by Zed, he had to fight with him and was almost killed on that day.

Since that day, he has had increasing hatred for Zed and swore to kill him, but since he was weaker than him, he had to bear with it and try using various schemes which were futile since he was still alive until this moment. But now, he seems confident of being able to trample Zed on his own, hence the questions which were asked by Kestrel.

Oscar just smiles in reply then says all of a sudden, "Oh, before I forget. I need to thank you, especially for this vital information".

"Huh, I just need my normal payment though", says Kestrel in reply. "You don't need to be bothered about that anymore", says Oscar while carrying a ruthless smile.

Without knowing what happened, Kestrel was cut down from his waist with all his intestines pouring out.

"Daring to place your eye on a woman of mine. You have grown guts kid", Oscar says while spitting at the corpse of Kestrel, after which he continues in his journey towards the residence of Peter.

Screams were being heard all over the village at this moment seems like the feast has already begun, and since some of the hunters were already killed off by Andrew and the only ones who could have defended the village were in the forest fighting for their lives, it was an easy raid for the bandits.

"Seems like they are enjoying themselves. I should go enjoy myself also", says Oscar after hearing those screams.

Presently at this moment in the village, able-bodied men were being killed, and children weren't even spared as some were killed while the rest were captured to be sold off to slave traders, and women were being raped or tortured, or both.

The village has never faced such a tragedy like this as there were usually hunters or warriors to defend them, but now, it was at its weakest stage.

There was a bit of resistance, but since numbers were on the side of bandits, they were able to overcome the resistance and made it all seem useless no matter how hard they tried.

This continues for a long while and the resistance from the few hunters in the village delayed their raid a bit, but it was all being sorted out.

At this moment, Oscar could be seen with a victorious smile on his face while his hand was holding onto a bloodied head which has been hit till it was nearly unrecognizable.

But on taking a closer look at it, its resemblance to Zed could be found. It was the chief warrior of Peter, since the chief warrior was dead, Peter must be dead also. And truly, Peter was lying dead in his grand apartment with all his male workers killed off while the female workers who were of manageable age and stature were spared to serve Oscar.

Bandits didn't have any scruples with killing as they could just run in the wild while hiding until the case settles down.

And at this moment was when our protagonist got out of the forest and landed with his head on the floor. He got up and rushed towards his favourite tavern while praying deeply that nothing of any sort should happen to it and wished that any damages should bypass it. He doesn't even care about the screams from the villagers and just runs at an unbelievable speed towards the tavern.

But on reaching there, Andrew's mood turns for the worse as the tavern was on fire. All the nice wine inside was being burnt along with it, he holds his tattered shorts while screaming at such a great loss, tears drip from his eyes at this moment.

"I swear, I did make them all pay. All who dared to do this to you. They would pay", he vowed to the spirit of the tavern with his eyes all red due to anger.

He stands up and looks in the direction of the nearest bandits, he was about to fulfil his vows now as a moment delayed is a moment wasted. He quickly buries all the stuff he has carried with him in a safe location then storms off.
