FOUR STRANGERS
Arthur drew his sword and demanded coldly, "Whoever you are, if you have courage, then reveal yourself."
At his prompt, four people came out. They didn't look like ordinary people. Judging by their clothes, they were no mercenaries, assassins, or kidnappers.
Their expression looked like they weren't pleased to be found by Arthur.
A tall, bald guy with dark brown skin stepped forward and commented, "I was thinking what kind of big boobs, seductive woman made a hard rock like you fall for her. I'm so disappointed. She seems to be an innocent kid. I didn't know you were a pedophile, Arthur."
Veronica was surprised by his comment. She looked at Arthur and asked him, "Do you know them?"
"Yes," Arthur put back his sword and held her hand. "I know them. They are my trusted vessels. You can trust them."
"Vessels? Like a king has?" Veronica was curious.
