It took Anon 6 hours to collect every living student within the forest and bring them into one place.
While some of them listened to him without any questions, some of them had to be threatened.
After bringing them together, Anon and the other students exited the forest of Evensong.
As soon as they exited the forest, they noticed that their parents were standing there to hug them.
Everyone hugged each other, and they went back to their homes.
The village chief declared that the winners of the competition would be announced tomorrow at noon.
Anon also went back to his house with Ian, Moon, and Hillary, but he didn't know that someone was still searching for him inside the Evensong Forest.
"Did you find him?" A male elf asked another male elf.
"No, What about you?"
"Nothing."
Both of them returned to their leader.
"Sir, we haven't found him." The assassin reported.
"Not only him, we haven't seen any of the kids around. If this is a competition, then there should be more kids, right?" Another assassin added.
"Keep searching... I want him. I need his head for what he did to my brother. If I go back without his dead body, my mother won't look at me." Their leader spoke as he turned around.
This guy was none other than Ares himself, and he has no idea that the village chief has called off the whole event.
"Yes, Sir." Both the assassins replied as they started searching for Jule again.
"Why are trees so close to each other in this place?" Ares thought as he looked around with a confused expression.
"Sir, Ares. I think I have found something." A third assassin reported as he suddenly appeared in front of Ares.
"What?" Ares asked.
"Sir, it's a tree. A tree with very colorful leaves. You should check it out, maybe it's a treasure or something." The assassin reported as he looked at Ares.
"A treasure? Maybe it's one of the medicine trees that can make people immortal. Oi, come down, everyone, we are going to go and take a look at this amazing tree." Ares ordered, and suddenly 20 assassins appeared in front of him.
"Yes, Sir." All of them spoke in unison.
Jule's house...
Creak
The main door opened, and everyone entered inside the house.
"Hah... This is the best moment of my life till this date. I have no loans, no tension of paying your academic fees, and I will get money and fame in return, hahahaha..." Ian said as he laughed loudly.
"Thank you, Jule." Moon said as she hugged Anon tightly.
"Oh, no problem." Anon replied.
'No problem because you are going to pay the price anyway.' Anon thought as an evil smile appeared on his face.
[Moon's Mind Corruption: 50%]
Her mind corruption is already 50% corrupted; I don't think I will have any problems while corrupting her.
Both of them separated after a long hug, and as soon as they separated... Ian hugged Anon.
"Thank you, my child. You are the best son a dad can have. I knew that one day, you will make my name very popular in this village, and you did, today. I can't thank you enough. Now your sister can go to the academy as well, just because of you." Ian spoke as tears started dropping out of his eyes.
'Yeah, I would love to see you say those words when you will see your daughter and wife getting intimate with me in front of your eyes.' Anon thought as he also smiled.
After a while, Ian and Anon separated.
"Well, I will go and prepare dinner." Hillary spoke.
"Hillary !? What are you doing ?" Ian asked with a surprised expression.
"Hmm...? What, Honey ?" Hillary asked as she turned around.
Ian immediately walked up to Hillary and whispered in her ears.
"He is our son, you know that, right ?" Ian spoke.
"Yeah, I know that." Hillary answered with a neutral expression.
"What happened to you? He just became the hero to the whole village by saving everyone's kid, and you are giving him the cold shoulder. May I ask why ?" Ian asked.
'Honey, you don't know that thing standing right there isn't our son.' Hillary wanted to say it out loud but she can't because Anon has her son.
"I am not giving him the cold shoulder. I am going to prepare his favorite dish." Hillary answered.
"No, you are going to say some good things to him first, hug him, and then make his favorite dish, okay?" Ian spoke.
"Oh... Is that so ?" Hillary asked as she looked at Anon and noticed his evil smile.
This was all Anon's idea... He used Ian's unconscious mind, transferred this thought into his mind, and everything worked out accordingly to his plans.
"Yes, now go." Ian said as he smiled at Hillary.
"Well, okay. Jule, my son, you have done a very good job, and I appreciate it very much." Hillary said as she gave Anon a hug that can't be called a hug because only her upper body was hugging Anon, and her lower body was away from him.
"Oh mom... I love you too." Anon said as he put his hands around her waist and pulled her towards himself with force.
"Ohh..." Hillary said as she realized that Anon just pulled her body forcefully towards him.
"What the heck is wrong with you? Do you like to torture me or something?" Hillary whispered in Anon's ear.
"Well, you two continue... I will go and change back into my house clothes." Ian said as he left the hall and went back to his room.
"Both of you look so cute, keep it up." Moon said as she went back to her room.
"Nothing is wrong with me, Luv. But tonight, I will torture someone, and believe me, it's not you." Anon said as he smiled evilly.
Hillary immediately separated herself from Anon and looked at him with a confused expression.
"What do you mean by that?" She asked.
"You will see, Luv."
