"W-who are you people?! Get out of here!"
"Don't you know who my husband is?!"
The boy's mother was beyond scared but she attempted to scare them away using John's name, as he was feared and respected by most of the slum's residents.
"Hm~ John? He's not here right now though, is he?"
One of the three men stepped forward, his skin was caked with grime and his nose was so long that it looked more like a bird's beak, his teeth adopting both the color and texture of bark.
"Wh-what do you want?!"
"We have nothing to give you!!"
The boy's mother shouted, hugging her trembling son tightly.
"Are you being loud on purpose? Haha!"
"Go on~ Be as loud as you want."
"Do you think someone's going to play a Knight and come save you?"
The long-nosed man stepped forward and pointed his sword at her face.
