Chapter 325 - Confession

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Ma'am. Your daughter is a student of Ladros Institute, right? Can I know her name? Maybe I've seen her before and I can help you." Brando asked her.

The one who answered the question was the old man.

"Our daughter's name is Lynn, Lynn Yaoli."

"...eh!!"

Brando opened his eyes widely in surprise as he didn't expect to hear that name from their mouth. He was familiar with that name. Of course, both of them were members of the Dark Oculus Legion.

"Your daughter's name is Lynn Yaoli?"

"Hmm...? Do you know her?" The old man asked Brando as he guessed that Brando knew her daughter based on his reaction.

"Yes, I'm one of her friends. I'm Brando Hylott. I'm on the same team as your daughter... Don't worry about Lynn, the others are with her. She's not currently in this city when the attack happened so she's safe." Brando lied to them but he wasn't lying when he said that Lynn was safe.

The old woman grabbed his should and looked up at him. She asked, "Is she really fine?"

"Yes, I'm sure that she's fine." Brando nodded seriously.

"I'm glad..." The old woman breath a sigh of relief.

Brando smiled and he talked with Lynn's parents for a while before he bid farewell.

"Ma'am and Sir. See you later. When I meet Lynn, I'll tell her that you're worried about her."

"Thank you. Thank you." Lynn's mother was thanking him with tears in her eyes.

"Thanks for telling us all of this." Lynn's father said with a smile.

"Don't worry about it. Oh, if you go in that direction you will find a place for Dark Oculus Legion. Tell them that you're Lynn's parents and they will take care of you." Brando said to them before he left.

He didn't think that he would meet Lynn's parents.

"Oh? I forgot to ask their names."

...

The little girl was innocent and Souta guessed that she wasn't involved in the organization that kidnapped Cluster. If she was part of it then Souta would simply kill her but he wanted to avoid killing her if he wasn't sure that she's part of it.

What if he killed Juds? Souta will let her be. As long as she didn't do anything to him, he will let her live even if her father was part of that organization.

What if that girl wanted revenge? Souta wouldn't care about it but if she comes at him with the intent to kill then Souta will respond. But at this moment, the little girl couldn't harm him so if she wanted to kill him Souta preferred if she will come at him once she got stronger. That way the exp that he will receive would grow larger.

"DADDY!!"

"LET ME SEE DADDY!!"

The little struggled as she tried to break free from Lumilia's arms.

"She's your child, right?" Souta asked Juds with a wide grin on his face.

"W-What do you want?!!" Juds was showing fear for the first time.

"I always tell you that I want the information," Souta said as he turned to Lumilia. "You can release her."

Lumilia nodded and she released the little girl in her arms. The little girl quickly ran in the guild master's direction.

"N-NOO!! Don't come here, Chelsy!!" Juds shouted as he tried to move his body but several black tentacles rose from the ground and bound his limbs.

Before the little girl could reach Juds, Souta grabbed her arm and raised her above the ground.

"W-What are you going to do?!" Juds shouted at the top of his lungs. He was furious and agitated at this scene.

"Hey, stop struggling." Souta glanced at the little girl and knocked her out by chopping the back of her neck using his hand.

Bang!

The little girl fainted as soon as Souta hit her. She was just an ordinary person so Souta didn't put force in his hand. He was afraid to kill her accidentally.

"Fuck!! I'll kill you if you harm my daughter!!" Juds shouted furiously.

"You're too stubborn you know. If you don't want me to touch your daughter then tell me what you know. It's simple, right? So why don't you tell me? Maybe, there's something that's preventing you." Souta said as he looked closely at the little girl. He gathered his mana in his other hand and placed it close to the little girl's neck.

Juds grew silent as he glanced at Souta and her daughter. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, ".....fine, I'll tell you what I know"

"Good. If you already told us what you know from the beginning then this wouldn't happen." Souta smiled as he placed down the little girl and called Lumilia to take care of her.

Lumilia carried the little girl and left the place leaving Souta and the rest to deal with the guild master.

"Don't worry about her. My friend will not harm her." Souta said while looking at Lumilia's back. He then turned to Juds and grinned, "So... can you tell us what you know? I want to know the truth. If I found that the information you've given to us was wrong, I will torture your daughter in front of you before I kill her and feed her to monster."

Juds bit his lower lips before he told him what happened to him.

It all started a few days ago when a man wearing a black cloak suddenly barged into his house. The said man was carrying a little girl with long green hair.
