13 The Squad Captain's Arrival- III

"You lousy pricks, how dare you insult my baby!", he said angrily with a loud tone.

I stepped away from him, his scream almost tore my eardrums for a second.

William and Thalia seem composed and didn't bat an eye. Any other normal person would have shat in their pants that's how intimidating the tavern owner looked.

William fixed his glasses and tilted his head upwards to look him in the eye.

"Excuse me whose baby are you talking about?", he asked calmly.

"My baby!", said tavern owner as he waved his arm at the tavern, "This is my baby! How dare you insult it!"

William answered in a calm manner,

"So that rat hole is your place! I see. I shall give you some hygiene ti-"

But all of a sudden the bald owner swung his butcher knife with full force.

William in reflex dodged it pretty easily, as expected from a veteran soldier.

"What the heck!!", shrieked the owner as soon as the blade cuts nothing but the air and lands on the ground. It was a powerful blow that the knife almost sunk in the soil with a crack on the ground.

If that was any other person, he would have cut him in half for sure.

Williams expression changed all of a sudden,

"Release restrains GL403.", with a cold demeanor.

All of a sudden his one of the arm faintly glowed underneath the shirt's sleeve. He balled up his fist and ready to punch.

This all was happening in a split second.

Fuck if he hits him, that tavern owner will die for sure.

I grabbed a dismantled horse seat that was lying on the ground and rushed immediately between him and the owner.

Although I manage to reach there in time, he had already thrust his punch in my direction.

I tried to block his punch but it was too powerful that I flew and toppled and crashed in the horse haystack beside the tavern.

A shockwave went through my body and my arms went numb. I was inside the haystack and remained motionless for some time.

"What in the hell are you doing! Why are you protecting this scumbag!", screamed William at me.

Although I can't see him, I can hear him loud and clear. Even the haystack wasn't able to suppress his annoying voice.

Freak, I started to feel itchy! Gotta move away from all this hay.

I tried to get up from the haystack, when,

"You idiot! Don't go swinging around that punch like that!", scowled Thalia at William.

"But he was-" *thwack*, as William was about to complain; Thalia hit him hard on his head.

"Shut up! If you speak another word I shall beat the crap out of you."

The bald owner also got up from the ground. It seemed I clashed with him when I was flung in the air by the punch.

William had an enchanted gauntlet in his possession. Such type of armored glove was only used by the veteran military officials.

Well, it was not surprising as he was an ex-veteran soldier and the bodyguard of the noble house of Marshfield.

I took a peek at the horse seat that I was still holding in my hands.

"That was close.", I said to myself.

There was, now a hole in the seat of the horse saddle.

He's a lunatic for sure. If he had committed murder, I would be dragged in it as well. I have a bad reputation as it is. They would have blown my cover as well. If the word gets out that the children of the Heller family still walks among the town, it would be a little problem.

"What the heck was that!", as the owner got up on his legs, all puzzled.

Just when Arina came out of the tavern and rushed to the scene. She stood in front of the owner.

The owner was little perplexed as all of a sudden a woman appeared, spontaneously.

"Who are you?!", he asked as he glanced at her for a second.

She bowed her head deeply,

"I am really sorry for my juniors! Please forgive them, this one time!", she pleaded.

She seemed pretty scared but was courageous enough to stand for us.

The owner had an annoyed expression, and he spat on the ground,

"No boobies, no mercy!", he replied arrogantly.

This world was full of scum like him. I shouldn't have saved his sorry ass, before.

In all the mayhem Thalia joins in,

"I am really sorry mister!", she bowed deeply and flaunted her big melons.

The owner seemed to be charmed by her, on the spur of the moment.

That girl knows how to use her assets pretty well, she's one scary girl.

She continued her farce with a cute manner,

"You seem pretty kind and handsome guy! You'll excuse my stupid colleague's mistake won't you?", she said with her feminine voice as she made a girly expression.

Wait, was she the same girl as before?

"Oh well, it's okay! I forgive him. You are more than welcome! Keep that boy's mouth in check from now on. Also, the meals are in the house! Come in!", he said in a blushing manner as he ran inside the tavern.

I guess he was pretty flustered because of Thalia.

"Let's get inside!", Thalia frowned and glared at William.

"But that dirty-", William was about to complain.

"We are going inside!! Let's go!", interrupted Bruno and marched inside the tavern following Thalia.

"But master! Hey, wait for me…", eventually, William followed and entered the tavern anyway.

Well if it's a free lunch, I shouldn't waste my time here! Gonna eat as many grubs to my fill.

But before I enter, I went near the woman who was sulking on the floor.

"Its always the chest! It's always the chest! It's always the chest!...", she murmured to herself.

I guess she was pretty shocked, by the owner's harsh remarks. I can't let her sulk down the road, she was attracting a lot of attraction as it is.

"Oi, captain! Let's get moving.", I gave her hand to help her get up from the floor. She forcefully grabbed my hand.

"What do you prefer? Big breast or the small ones? Answer me! ANSWER ME!", she screamed at me with this lunatic expression.

I guess, her age was affecting her brain.

"Could you just get up for now?", I asked.

"ANSWER ME! Don't avert the question!"

"Neither! Now get up.", I answered.

"Are you perhaps homosexual-"

"Just get up already!!", I shrieked.

Seriously! She's gonna be one heck of a pain.
