Chapter 8 Saving lives is the work of a ...Villain?

Varun opened his eyes and raised his head. His eyes were shining and it was a total purplish. He looked behind him and saw the leader who was clenching his chest. Varun stood up and took the sword of the leader and said to his goon, ''You have done well, now go and finish your remaining partners.''

That person nodded his head like a puppet and ran towards his partners and started to kill them one by one from behind when they were busy fighting. Everyone was shocked as they couldn't understand what was happening. This man was suddenly turning to his partners and was taking orders from the person who he had taken hostage earlier.

With the help of the merchant group, Amber and Horus finished all the robbers. Some tried to run away but Horus as a hunter with chasing abilities found them and ended their lives too.

All the robbers were killed quickly with the help of Varun's puppet. Varun looked at the dead robbers and smirked, ''Well, after killing its looting time''.

Varun ordered the robber who he had under control to search and look for anything valuables in other robbers' pockets.

That man searched for some time and brought some bags with him. They had some coins and a metal ring. It was a spatial ring which is used to contain non living things.

'With my inventory, I don't need spatial rings. I will sell them in the Capital.' Varun thought.

''You bastard, who the hell are you?'' A voice pulled Varun's attention. He looked around and found the person.

''Oh leader, you are still alive?''

The leader was hanging with a single thread. He was already on the verge of dying.

''What did you do to my man?'' Leader asked with difficulty.

''Pfft. Your man? Then who are you, his woman?''

''Fuck you, you monster.''

''Now, now. Don't think so highly of me. We are all villains here. Just think of me as another robber.

Let me ask you a question. You were high levelled than me, you were more experienced in fighting than me. You had more numbers on your side. Yet you were defeated by a nobody you just met. Why?''

The leader did not say anything because he couldn't think of a reason.

''Want me to answer you?'' Varun asked.

The leader was angry but still nodded his head.

''Because you were careless. Battle can not be win only with just power but also brain. You are an idiot who fell into my trap so easily. You thought everything was in your control, didn't you?'' Varun mocked him badly.

''I hope you don't die a peaceful death just like me.'' Cursing was not ending from leader's mouth.

''This is the problem with you guys. Why can't you believe that there are some people in this world who are more capable, decisive and villainous than you? I am just one of them.'' Varun said.

Varun could have ended his life easily but he was just teasing him more and more even at his death door. His sadistic side was showing openly. But he did not kept him hanging for much time and thrust the sword in his neck. After killing the leader, Lucky also got a spatial ring of metal from the leader.

Varun's parents came to him and asked, ''Varun, are you okay? You are not hurt. right? Do you mind explaining what happened here?''

'Now that the water has been spilt its no use of lying.' Varun thought.

He began to explain them with some lies and some truths.

''Okay dad. Actually, I awakened the day I turned fifteenth which was one month ago without going to any temple or church.

Also my Gift is not fully stable so sometimes it goes out of control. I still have problems controlling it. That's why I didn't tell you.

I thought I would unintentionally harm you all. I did not want to use it without taking it under control but when they tried to abduct Nisha, I had no choice but to use it.'' After saying all of this he made a depressed face so that they would believe his nonsense.

His parents would had never believed it, if it was any other person but he was their own son so they naturally believed all of his lies.

''Its okay son. Its no biggie. You have both of us. We will find a way to fix this problem of yours.'' Amber said.

''Thank you mom, you are the best mother in this whole world.'' He started buttering her and he was doing it very nicely. His mother has already forgotten the matter.

''So, what did you do to this one?'' Horus asked looking at the remaining single robber.

''Oh, he is hypnotized by my spell. He is under my control now and would do everything I say.''

Amber was surprised to hear him. This type of skill is called mental type skill. It is a very rare type of skill. It is quite convenient for interrogation and other works. It is a perfect skill in her line of work. She has heard of mind controlling abilities before but never saw one with her own eyes.

On the other hand, Horus looked at Varun like he was seeing an alien for the first time. He held Varun's hands and dragged him away from his mother at some distance away.

''Son, swear upon my name. How many times have you used this skill on other people?'' Varun was confused as why his father was so serious about this.

''Not much but why are you asking me this?'' Varun replied and asked.

''Why you ask? Huff. Listen I don't want anyone knocking on our door saying that we have became grandparents so quickly. Its better if you tell me everything so I can handle it peacefully.''

Varun freed himself from Horus's grasp and looked at him with eyes full of disbelief. He asked, ''What are you saying dad? I am not that kind of person. At least still not. How can you think so low of me?''

''How can I not? Don't you know this kind of skill is the dream of every men in the world?

You can't imagine how jealous I am. If I had this skill in my youth I would.....'' Horus did not finish his line and left the rest to Varun's imaginations.

''You must have done with at least three or four. right?'' Horus asked with some expectations from his son.

''No dad. Never. By the way I am a gentleman.'' Alas, his son could not bring himself to meet his expectations.

''Huh. Such a waste of a good skill.'' Horus was disappointed with his son for some reason.

Amber was also confused as what kind of discussion was going between father and son?

''I didn't know you were this kind of person.'' Varun was looking at him like his father was a scum of society.

After some bitching, they returned to Amber.

She asked about their conversation but both of them were in no mood to talk about it.

'I didn't know my father was so narrow minded. How could he think of me like that?' Varun was really ashamed that his father was thinking of him so low.

'Why would I care about one or two mug of water If I can have the whole ocean.' He had an evil smile on his face.

The merchant group also arrived to them and expressed their gratitude for saving their lives from the robbers.

''Now when we are at it, why don't we wipe out the remaining robbers in their hideout. It would be convenient for other people too. We can also take all their loots.''

''You idiot. When did you become so greedy. Do you want to put your family in danger?'' Horus said after smacking his head.

''What are you saying, dad? It's not about only money. Don't you remember what they said? They had captured some women and violated them. There must be innocent people in their hideout too. Is this okay with you? Are you not going to do anything for that?

If these people are left alive, won't they put another family into danger?'' Justice was blooming in the eyes of Varun.

As a former knight, Amber could not show negligence about this and agreed to help those poor people.

When Amber agreed to help the people, Horus also had no choice but to agree.

There were some arguments but finally it was decided that they would go after having full information about their base and this was not so hard task. Varun called that out of the mind robber and asked to spill the beans.

The robber gave all information about them like their total number and the location of the base and even took them to his hideout.

''Oi, listen you piece of shit. Protect my parents from any danger at all cost even if you have to die.'' Varun instructed him in his ears.

Varun could not go with his parents leaving his sister and horse wagon behind.

At the site, Varun was with his sister and coachman. The area has been cleaned off of every corpses by the merchant group to avoid attracting attention of wild animals due to their blood.

After waiting for just two and half hours, Varun saw his parents arriving with some men and women in bad state behind them. They also had some children with them who were in serious condition due to harmful drugs.

He arrived to them and asked what happened there. His mother was in no condition to say anything. She had seen some horrible things even for trained knights at the hideout and was still recovering so he asked this father about the situation.

''We killed all the robbers and freed all the people they took hold of. There were some women who were brutally raped and tortured. Their condition can't be explained with words.

Some children were forcibly being drugged for new experiments, many of them were also dead due to very high dose.

Then we found some merchants and farmers who fell in their hands. They are also badly hurt but none of them are dead.

After listening the whole story, Varun's mind became numb. He just casually said earlier some justification words to rile his parents to go to hideout and so he could collect some loots.

He knew they would find some horrible scenes but not up to this extent. He was glad he suggested this idea and everyone could be freed.
