"Haha, losers trying to run always makes my blood boil!"
A voice was heard coming from the sky as the flapping of what seems to be wings was also heard as well.
The bandits looked up to see the descending figure of a red haired man whose eyes carried the real definition of danger, his face also had a visible grin.
On his hand was a beautiful pink haired young kill that was at that moment, covered with energy cocoon and was thrown into the air.
Shockingly, she did not fall instead she began to float in the air.
Boom~
An explosion occured as the unknown assailant landed on the ground and caused the sand to move away as dust formed a fog.
The hand of the unknown waved in the air and the fog of dust was cleared at once to reveal an evilly grinning man.
The Crimson Paul!
The mind of the bandit trembled as they saw the man, the Crimson Paul, feared for his strength and military might.
"The Crimson Paul! how the heck did we offend him?"
"He only has a young daughter and sons that has grown. and we didn't kidnap his daughter as far as i can remember!"
They began freaking out as they watch Crimson Paul.
"Bunch of weaklings! so how do you guys want to be punished? one after the other? in pairs or you want it together? speak up immediately"
Crimson Paul let out menacingly, then he raised his right hand, the palm was immediately engulfed in blue flames that gave off killing intent that caused all the kidnappers to get on their kneels.
Their weapons was disregarded, even if they have the will to fight, it'll be useless fighting against a feared essence cultivator with cultivation that so far surpassed the Human Champion realm, it was viral years ago that the Crimson Paul has broken through to Radiant heart realm several months ago.
"We wouldn't be so foolish to offend someone as mighty as you. please spare us!" they pleaded together.
"Stupid? huh, you want mercy?"
"Yes, oh great Crimson Paul, we will let go of our evil ways and change for the better. no more shady business for life. please grant us this chance to change!"
"Um okay, let me consider it! release all the kids first before we discuss what punishment you deserve." The kidnappers did not hesitate before cowardy running to unlock the carriage and even help the kids down.
Liam was let out of the carriage, the chains on his hand and leg was removed, finally giving him the chance to move his feet once again.
He looked only to see Crimson Paul, he doesn't know who he was or how he got to call him but he was thankful that he wasn't an enemy!
Seeing his displayed power and his imposing aura also made him feel saved.
He also noticed something glowy floating in the air, he saw Cornelia, asleep in an energy cocoon.
'Thankfully, it was her, this dude might probably be her father. so powerful' Liam commented in his mind.
Meanwhile, after releasing the kids, the kidnappers went back to their kneeling and incessant bowing.
"Boy!"
Liam heard Crimson Paul calling someone, he looked up and saw that the someone he was calling was actually him.
With thinking twice, he fearlessly strolled to where he was while staring hatefully at the kidnappers who were sweating so much that their clothes was soaked.
"You're the one, right?"
Liam did not know what he was referring to, but he guessed it was concerning Cornelia so he nodded.
Seeing him nod, Crimson Paul smiled and asked.
"These useless uncles want mercy, do you think it's a good thing to free them?" He asked him.
Liam shook his head, and answered.
"No uncle, they don't deserve to see the morrow. they are hardened criminals who didn't think twice before kidnapping kids, with such hardened heart they will find it hard to change and commit even worst crimes in the future. it's better we end their life here and now to prevent that."
"Good, Good, well said kid, now over to you geezers! you heard what the kid said right? so tell me what you think about it."
The kidnappers eyes widened in fear and they began letting out more pleads for their life.
Crimson Paul waved his hands and a blue flame energy dart materialised in his hands.
He waved his hands effortlessly and the energy knife flew away from his hands and pierced into the heart of one of the bandits.
The bandit who was attacked with the knife convulsed before dying as the other bandit watch in horror.
"I asked you a question, don't I deserve answers?"
"Y... Yes, Yes, great lord Crimson Paul deserve an immediate answer to his question, we were so foolish to...ah, ah!"
The one who wanted to talk was stabbed in his heart with the same knife which he didn't see coming and he died immediately as well.
"Too slow!" Crimson Paul let out lowly as he made more energy knife and killed all of them.
Then he turned to the other kids, and said to them...
"You guys are quite lucky to be saved, I'll take you with me to silver south kingdom, I guess from there you'll be able to find your way to your respective homes. there's no need to be afraid, my men will help you!"
Then he turned to Liam who had a look of gratitude in his face, as he kowtowed respectfully and thanked him but Crimson Paul waved his hands signifying there was no need.
With another wave, the energy cocoon holding Cornelia lowered to the ground and unwrapped her body, at that moment, he beautiful eyes opened revealing her beautiful pink eye ball that shone brightly the moment it met with Liam's contrasting eye colors.
At that moment, her body which seems to be weak was immediately pumped up with energies as she dragged him in for a tight embrace and shed tears of joy, happy she didn't lose her first and best friend.
Cornelia hugged him and cried for as long as ten minutes.
Wtf, too emotional.
Well, before she finished crying guards has already arrived with carriages led by flying frogs.
The kids were led into the carriage which has space that contained them.
Liam and Cornelia joined Crimson Paul on another carriage, from there Liam got to learn who Crimson Paul was to Cornelia.
The carriage he was in was too lively, when Crimson Paul tried to be play friendly, Cornelia whispered into his ear.
"Don't play friends with my dad, he always make different aunty to moan and cry in the night, he's evil!"
