The little boy kept pointing at the building and when it didn’t look like Godfrey would understand anytime soon, he grabbed Godfrey by the arm, leading him toward the building.
"Stop." Godfrey held the boy’s shoulder and squatted. "I can’t take you into a dungeon. I’ll fetch what you lost there but you remain out here. Don’t take a step in there. Deal?"
The little boy nodded.
Seeing this, Godfrey smiled a bit behind his mask. ’It’s quite late, I wonder where your parents are. Or are they the ones in there?!’ His eyes gleamed at the thought of that.
That would explain why a little boy would be out here at this hour.
Upon rising to his feet, Godfrey looked at a dark alley. Golden light lit up in there and something came out, but blended into the darkness.
With that done, Godfrey walked into the abandoned skyscraper. Not long after he was gone, three men walked into the lonely street.
The biggest amongst them was held up by the other two men, a sign that they got into a fight and lost miserably.
As they got closer to the boy, the big man’s eyebrow rose. "Isn’t that the son of that beautiful Russian woman who moved in two months ago?"
His friends looked at the boy. "She never lets that boy out of her sight. What’s he doing outside by this hour?" One of them asked.
"Who cares? This is an opportunity to get close to that woman. She must be scared and out there searching for her little boy or oblivious. Regardless, imagine how she would react once I bring her boy?"
The big man shrugged off his friends and approached the little boy. The stench of alcohol forced the boy’s face to squeeze.
"Lost?" The big man asked, looking at the boy like he was some prize. That gaze made the little boy shrink back.
"Come, I’ll take you home to your mother." He stretched his hand and grabbed the boy’s tiny arm.
Just then, his eyes shrank as something came out from the alley. It was fast, all the big man saw was a golden blur. In the next moment, a towering knight loomed above him, the edge of his longsword a hair’s breadth away from the big man’s neck.
The big man’s friends had wide eyes and even wider mouths as their faces paled. They slowly moved backwards.
"I won’t let you hurt the boy!" The big man bellowed as a portal appeared and a huge crocodile lunged at Mountain.
Mountain tilted to the side, narrowly evading the crocodile before launching a kick that sent the huge beast through a building.
The big man’s eyes shrunk greatly as Mountain grabbed his face, the knight’s large gauntleted hand easily wrapping around his head.
At the sight of this, his friends fled for their lives. "Is that the little boy’s summon?"
"Seems like it."
Their hearts almost left them when Mountain burst out of the earth. That was the crocodile’s innate skill. It could move through the earth without being noticed despite its size.
Both men fell as Mountain aimed his sword at them. "S... Speak and you will die."
