Berserk: The Prophet

.........

Gerry was so engrossed in watching Green's figure that he couldn't dodge in time and was caught by a drunkard. The strength of an adult was far beyond what a child could contend with.

My wrists were gripped painfully, and I wanted to resist, but my hands were completely held in the other person's palms.

"Hehehe, why are you covered in mud? Let me see how pretty you are, little beauty~, hehehe..." The drunkard's greasy hands scraped the mud off Gri's face, and he was about to tear open Gri's clothes, looking like he was about to tear the child in his arms apart and eat him.

"Get away!!"

Having never experienced anything like this before, Gerry felt a sense of fear and unease from the bottom of his heart. The feeling of his legs leaving the ground was very ominous, but unfortunately, a child's legs could hardly even kick him.

The people around only glanced at them before continuing with their own fun. After all, the children here were there to serve drinks and also to entertain special guests, so it was nothing unusual.

Only a few prostitutes noticed something was wrong, because the child's hair color resembled that of the proprietress's son, so they quickly and secretly went to call the proprietress.

Ruined...

Her light blue eyes were wide open, clearly recording everything that was unknown to her.

"What beautiful eyes and mouth..."

Just as that greasy mouth was about to kiss him, a dark figure stepped across the table and kicked the fat pig, who was scheming against Gerry, in the back of the head.

"Oh!"

The dark figure kicked the man so hard he stumbled and fell to the ground. Gerry broke free from his grasp, used the momentum to kick the man hard, and also fell to the ground, now a little further away from the man.

"Run!"

Green quickly grabbed Gerry's hand, and fortunately Gerry was quick as well. The two of them ran swiftly through the crowded brothel, trying to get away from this place of trouble.

"Damn it, those two little bitches! Go after them!"

The drunkard got up from the ground and said to the people around him that although he usually looked down on Taishang's behavior, he still had to chase after him for the sake of the food and his reputation here.

"Damn kid, why are you meddling in other people's business!"

Best, who was lurking in the corner observing all of this, couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

"Tch, serves him right... Odru."

Fortunately, Oka only made a sarcastic remark as if watching a show, and still drank the glass of wine.

Seeing that the mission was complete, Best also left the area, intending to report everything that had happened to Cardi.

The landlady rushed over at that moment, because Gerry was indeed not in his room. Karina, worried about her son's condition, hurried to the front hall. Since her room was connected to the second floor, she could only see the burly men who had caused the commotion running out from the high platform.

If she escaped, it shouldn't be a problem for Gerry to evade them with his skills. The problem is that today, Karina can't show any emotion on her face.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Karina? What brings you out today? Are you entertaining customers?"

"Hahaha, I'll offer ten gold coins to kiss the landlady!"

"Don't try to take it from me, just because you have money doesn't mean you're all that..."

"Please be patient, everyone. My maid told me that someone has upset a guest. Tonight's drinks are on me, so please enjoy yourselves!"

Karina's appearance caused a stir among the crowd, as such a beauty is a rare sight.

Oka, his eyes clouded with drunkenness, followed the gaze of the crowd to Karina, but what he saw unexpectedly matched someone else's, and he murmured absentmindedly.

"Anna?"

Unfortunately, he was so drunk that he didn't even have the strength to stand up tonight. His body seemed to have no strength left. The last thing he saw was his lover appearing in the castle from many years ago, and his young self looking up at her with a mixture of ignorance and longing.

............

Where did those two brats run off to?

"Damn it!! I'll catch them and make them taste my magnificence!!"

"Tch, maybe we should just forget about it, Odru. The proprietress over there seems to be saying that all drinks are free."

"Hmph!! Then make the proprietress apologize to me! Her servants are really outrageous..." The group walked away, grumbling.

Green and Gerry, who were hiding in the alley, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew...that was close, thank goodness...I made it in time."

Green's forehead was still sweating. The thought of his future wife almost being kissed by that fat pig sent chills down his spine. Then, feeling a bit scared, he quickly checked Guni's clothes and body.

Gerry was also a little scared. Damn it, why is it that nothing good ever comes from meeting this guy? How could he have been so careless?

"what are you doing!"

Seeing the way the other person was examining him, Gerry angrily slapped Green's groping hand away.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness..." Seeing that the person in front of him was alright, Green hugged her tightly. How could her small body be so thin? She was so slender.

Gerry, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered.

“You’re mine…I won’t let anyone else touch you! Gourney.”

what?

However, Gerry's ears turned a little red. What was this guy... talking about? He couldn't even pronounce his own name correctly.

But if he hadn't saved me tonight, I would have been doomed. It's infuriating that I went to teach him a lesson, but he ended up saving me instead.

As Gerry thought about it, he became a little angry again, and at the same time, he felt resentful of his own powerlessness. In the end, he did not refuse Green's hug and gently placed his hands on Green's back.

What a broad and sturdy back! Is this guy really a kid like me? He's... way too strong!

The two embraced for a moment, and for some reason, Green couldn't help but kiss the girl in front of him again, thinking about how the person he liked had almost been violated.

"Well?!!"

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! This guy is too much!!

Gerry, who had just begun to develop a slight liking for Green, suddenly felt his emotions were about to explode. That damned guy!!!

He's definitely not a good person!!!

"Ugh, cough, cough cough, you..." Gerry was so angry at this guy that he was speechless.

"Don't worry, Guniang, I won't let you see that guy again!"

"???"

After saying that, Green climbed onto the roof. That fat pig, he even dared to make a move on his own wife. He'd definitely kill him tonight.

............

"Hey, where's the landlady?"

When Odru and the others returned, the proprietress was long gone. They could only sit back down in their seats, feeling resentful. They were just mercenaries from Midland; people of all kinds came here, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

There's a young girl who's going to suffer tonight. Even though she's only been sold here to do odd jobs, she can't avoid those people with a perverse sense of humor who will occasionally pin her down on the table and humiliate her, using her as a gambling chip. Her body has only recently started to gain some weight. What fate awaits her tonight?
