"Come out now; we already know that we are being surrounded," said Father a bit loudly so those who were surrounding us would hear it.
"Oh, it seems that you have keen senses, mister winner," said a guy who came out of the alley.
That guy was the mohawk man who I just saw in the casino, and after him, four other people who are also familiar came out in the alley too. There are also five people that come out of the alley behind us; all of them are carrying swords.
"What do you want?" Father asked the mohawk guy.
"Hehe, give me all the money that you just won earlier," he said while smiling and laughing slightly.
"And what if I said I don't want to?" Father asked.
"If you didn't do what we asked, then there's no other choice; we'll take it by force." "Can you see this?" He said this before showing us his sword.
"With that body as skinny as yours, maybe you'll die in just one strike of mine," he added, then laughed.
"Will, there are twelve of them, and two are still hiding in the alley behind us." "Can you take care of those two while I take care of these ten?" Father whispered to me.
"You can take care of ten of them." I was surprised. I know that Father is strong, but taking ten people with weapons by himself was still difficult, if you asked me.
"Don't worry, they're talentless; they're not blessed with affinity in magic or swordsmanship talent; that's why they are here and not fighting on the battlefield," Father whispered again.
"Don't overdo it on your side too; remember that they're talentless," he added.
"Okay," I replied.
"What are you whispering about?" "Give the money to me already; if I'm not mistaken, it's 50 gold coins, right?" He said.
"Or do you want to show off to your kid and got kicked in the butt instead?" "Whichever you choose, I'll be happy to accept it, but don't forget that if you choose to fight, your child won't get out of here without a scratch," he added.
"Stop talking already." "I'm fed up with your voice," Father said before casting a spell.
"Water javelin," Father shouted, then water that is formed like a javelin appears out of thin air and heads towards the mohawk guy.
Water Javelin is an intermediate water spell that is the improved version of Water Arrow. Although this spell only makes one javelin instead of three like a water arrow, its attack, speed, and piercing power increase tenfold compared to one water arrow.
The mohawk guy got surprised, and all he could do was try to deflect the water javelin, but the water javelin pierced his sword, and the water javelin hit his chest. If not for Father canceling it before it pierced his chest, he would have already died. After the spell was cancelled, the mohawk guy passed out and fell to the ground. The companions of Mohawk Guy got surprised too, because they didn't expect that such a weak-looking guy could use magic. They started to become wary of Father and started to watch every move he made. I wonder why they're not retreating yet after seeing what happened.
"Will, do it," Father said, and then I started to run towards the alley behind us.
The five people behind me got startled because I suddenly ran towards them, so they took a stance and focused on me. I didn't give them any attention; instead, my goal was to go to the alley so I could fight those two who were still hiding.
"Where are you going, brat?" "Don't you dare ignore us!" Shouted by the man in front of me.
"Water arrow!" Father shouted, then five arrows of water suddenly formed and headed towards those five in front of me. The arrows hit all of their hands that were holding a sword, so I easily passed them.
After that, before I entered the alley, I turned to look at Father, but what I saw was Father and behind him the four men who were with Mohawk earlier and were about to slash Father.
"We got you!" Shouted by the one who is closest to slashing Father.
"Water Curtain!" Shouted by father, then suddenly a huge circle of water covered father's back.
Water curtain is an intermediate water spell that is the improved version of water shield because, compared to water shield, which only covers 1 meter, water curtain covers 180 degrees of its target.
When the water curtain appeared, those guys who were about to slash the curtain bounced back after trying to slash the curtain.
After I saw that, I felt relieved and decided to leave them with Father and do what was left for me to do.
