"Relax Gavin. I am absolutely a normal human being. Unfortunately the defination of Power is something that has an entirely different meaning between us."
"For you, power is the strength you possess or the strength that comes to you from the people you depends on. And that power is being utilised for Killing unnecessarily, taking advantage of innocent people and showing off yourself infront of others.
For me, power is to help others in need. To stand infront of animals like you, when they try to take advantage of innocent girl. Playing with her emotions, taking advantage of her situation and then slit her throat along with everyone else. Or Kill everyone else and when you got bored with the girl, sell that girl to a brothel."
Anger started to boil inside all of those who watched the expressions of Gavin and listened to the young man.
"So Gavin, before I send you to your maker, tell me, who hired you?"
Gavin laughed. "Brat, how did you know that I was going to kill everyone after enjoying with the girl! I have to say that, not many people would have came to this conclusion so easily."
"That's what the difference between a real Swordmaster and a fake one is. A real Swordmaster always try to keep his word. Even when it brings him pain. And a false one like you, will always say a thing and do the opposite.
Now, who is the one to give you this contract?"
"Why should I tell you? I will die anyway."
"Oh, that is inevitable. But the manner in which you die depends on your attitude. Gavin."
"Do whatever you want, brat. My mouth is sealed."
"Hmmmmm..... Let us see for how long you can keep up this act."
"Everyone, step back a hundred feet." After saying that, Alan whistled 3 times. Within a few seconds a huge black animal bounded towards him and stood on his side.
"It's.... It's a.... A Black Panther!!!" Everyone behind Alan started to point at the beast and visibly shiver in terror.
"Relax everyone, she is my friend and those whom I consider friends, she is a friend too."
"Gavin, lets see for how long can you bear the pain."
"Blacky....." Alan turned towards his friend and smiled.
The beast started to walk slowly towards Gavin, when it reached the fallen arm, it opened its claws and pressed on it.
"Crack ....."
The sound of bone breaking reverberated in the silent area. Gavin started to sweat buckets as soon as he saw the beast. Ans as soon as he heard the bone breaking sound, a shiver ran down his back making him almost urinate.
Before the beast could even reach him, he started shouting.
"No..... No... Please, I will tell..... Its Fugin Hembram the seller of the rare hurb."
"Him, impossible!!! How can he do that, I had paid 50,000 gold for him. Didn't even negotiated the price!" Kristina exclaimed.
"As you know, its a rare herb. Wood Betony, over a 100 year old can be sold for more than 70,000 gold if auctioned. To get it back, he paid me 20,000 gold and 6,000 gold for the other mercenaries. I have the letter of contract in my pocket with his seal. You can verify yourself.
"Blacky, his tunic." Alan said softly.
The beast, in a blink of an eye moved infront of Gavin, opened it's mouth wide, almost making him unconscious due to the fear. And ripped out his shirt and tunic and came infront of Alan in another blink. Alan took out a piece of parchment from the ripped cloth and gave it to Kristina.
When she gave him an affirmative nod. He turned towards Gavin." You deserve to be given a swift death. Don't worry that person will also join you shortly."
"Blacky, I want the person who had signed this contract to be dead. Bring his head to the Dukes castle in Delta City by tomorrow night." Alan took the letter from Kristian and held it up. Blacky sniffed at it for a while then with a purr, Jumped up into the nearby tree and disappeared.
" Everyone felt dazed by the action of the human and the beast infront of them."
"One last question. How many women had you taken advantage of and killed till date? Don't explain anything just give me a number if you can."
Gavin who had already lost hope of living seemed to be looking afar. Then said "More than 200 and loved each and everyone when they begged and cried. Loved their suffering." Gavin had an evil smile while saying.
" Lady Kristina, will you end this bastard or shall I?" Remember this, if you can finish him he will have a swift death. If you leave the judgement to me, I will make sure, he feels the pain of all the 200 women he had wronged." The look in Alan's eyes while saying the last sentence made everyone shive in terror.
Kristina steeled herself. Looked at Alan. " I want justice for all those 200 women's."
